    Ye Zheng sat in the side room and smoked less than two cigarettes when Wang Po came.  After the wretched brother Wang Ba entered the room, he closed the door tightly. At this time, Ye Zheng motioned for him to sit opposite him, and then poured him a cup of tea himself.  After Wang Po thanked him, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said: "Your Majesty, if nothing unexpected happens, our migration team should be able to enter Anzhou City smoothly before tomorrow evening. By then we can  It¡¯s time to clean up the mess.¡± Ye Zheng nodded and said, ¡°Sir, tell me what you have to say. Don¡¯t beat around the bush with me. I just want to know how many people will take notice of me after I go to Anzhou.  The stumbling blocks, I will move them away one by one. If they can't be moved away, hum I will smash them all." Hearing this, Wang Po smiled softly, pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, I have been here for a long time.  When the imperial court ordered you to go to Beiyuan County to take up your post, I secretly sent some spies to Beiyuan County to find out the news. After all, we are far away in Cangliang Mountain and are not familiar with this place at all. If we don¡¯t find out,  If the situation here is different, it may not be so smooth for you to take office, and it will be much more complicated to clean up." As soon as he said this, Ye Zheng's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but nodded in appreciation: "That's right, sir.  As expected, I was thoughtful. I didn¡¯t even think of going here. I just don¡¯t know what exactly Mr. Wang found out.¡± Wang Po lowered his head and took a sip of tea, frowning and said, ¡°Your Majesty, the current situation in Beiyuan County is worse than before.  It's even more complicated and difficult than we imagined." Ye Zheng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Qingjiang County has been turned upside down by us. How can it be as difficult as attacking Qingzhou in a mere Beiyuan County?" Wang Po smiled.  He shook his head and said: "That's the same, but we'd better deal with it carefully." At this point, he paused, and then said: "According to the news I came back from the investigation, there is a person in Beiyuan County named Gu Changlie.  , once you take office as the governor of Beiyuan County, he will be the biggest stumbling block for your trip." "Gu Changlie." Hearing this name, Ye Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Who is he, I have never heard of it.  " Wang Po nodded and said: "I only learned recently that there is such a troublesome person in Beiyuan County." Ye Zheng suddenly asked: "This person has a great background and is very powerful in Beiyuan County.  " Wang Po nodded and said: "As far as I know, this Gu Changlie is the real controller of Beiyuan County. The previous governors of Beiyuan County, they could only rely on him and be his puppets. " After hearing this,  Ye Zheng's face turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "Who is he?" Wang Po thought for a moment and said: "Gu Changlie is the head of the Gu family in Guzhou City, and this Gu family is from Beiyuan County.  The most powerful aristocratic family, it is said that the ancestors of the Gu family were once a branch of the Dalie royal family and were considered to be relatives of the royal family. Gu Changlie was personally granted the title of Gu Chenghou by the current emperor, and his relatives  My sister is the current princess of the Xiongnu King in the grassland, and she is also very favored." At this point, he suddenly paused, glanced at Ye Zheng, and asked: "Your Majesty, do you know that Beiyuan County is the largest in terms of population.  Which state city is the most prosperous and prosperous in economy and trade?" Ye Zheng replied without thinking: "Do you still need to ask, it must be Beiyuan County Du'an City, I still know this common sense.  Yes, you need to know which county in the Great Lie Empire has a city that ranks first in terms of population, economy, and prosperity.  " Hearing this, Wang Po smiled and shook his head, saying: "This time, Your Majesty, you guessed it wrong. Among other counties, the county capital is definitely the capital city of a county, but in Beiyuan County, it is the capital city.  No, now in Beiyuan County, the largest, most populous and most prosperous city is Guzhou City, and this Guzhou City is the fiefdom and territory of the Gu family. In Guzhou City, all the residents of the city have  Customs duties, grain taxes, and other taxes are all collected by the Gu family, and after the Gu family collects the taxes, they do not have to pay them to the court, because Guzhou is their final territory, and within this territory, all  Everything belongs to them, and they have the right to decide the life and death of all residents in Guzhou City. Therefore, the Gu family is not only the largest family in Beiyuan County, but at the same time, they are also the richest tycoon in Beiyuan County.  " Ye Zheng frowned and said with a sinking heart: "I really didn't expect that this Gu Changlie would be so huge regardless of his identity or background. As such, he is indeed a difficult opponent.  " Wang Po nodded and said: "According to what I learned from the information I got back, this Gu Changlie is ruthless, cold-blooded, and cruel in his methods. He colludes with many bandits in Beiyuan County and specializes in dealing with newly appointed local officials.  The newly appointed officials in the five cities of Beihu, no matter how big or small, must obey him obediently and watch his actions.Officials who behave in a sexual manner and who disobey or dare to do anything with him will basically be broken into their home by some ferocious horse bandits, and the whole family will be slaughtered. Although people are sent to investigate afterwards, it is those ferocious bandits.  But everyone who understands knows that this is the result of offending Gu Chenghou.  It is said that there was once a powerful man in the imperial capital. Because he offended the emperor, the emperor was angry and temporarily demoted him to Beiyuan County as the governor. The man was also a domineering person. Not only did he  The power in the court was so great that even the deputy commander of Shangguan was his brother-in-law. So as soon as he came to Beiyuan County, he competed with Marquis Gu Cheng and had many frictions. But he forgot that this  Beiyuan County is not the imperial capital. Although he is a powerful dragon, he can't overpower the local snake like Gu Chenghou. Therefore, he took office less than a year ago. When he was inspecting the north of the county, he was killed by a group of people who wandered over from the grassland.  The Huns were cut into more than a dozen pieces. Even the only son who was accompanying him was cut into pieces by five horses. This incident caused a sensation in the government and the public at that time, and the deputy commander of the Lianshan Pass led tens of thousands of soldiers.  Elite soldiers went to Guzhou City to get an explanation for their brother-in-law, but in the end they ended up dead without any evidence.  " Having said this, Wang Po's face gradually became solemn and said: "Your Majesty, this Guchenghou is in Beiyuan County and has great power. Whether it is grain, oil or livestock, he has monopolized all walks of life, and his  The family is deeply rooted here. Currently, almost 80% of the officials in the entire Beiyuan County are his clansmen or lackeys. Especially in the five major cities in Beihu, almost all officials were promoted by him.  He is a close confidant, and he also has secret contacts with some foreign tribes on the border. It can be said that he is the native emperor of Beiyuan County. Since the previous governor resigned due to illness, he naturally became the auxiliary county and temporarily replaced him.  The imperial court is in charge of everything in Beiyuan County, so now in Beiyuan County, Gu Chenghou covers the sky with one hand.  "When Ye Zheng heard this, he suddenly raised his head and laughed wildly. Suddenly, his laughter stopped, two cold lights flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Cover the sky with one hand, in my territory, who dares, who is worthy,  ¡­¡±
