A journey to the heavens starting from the Red Mansion

Chapter 235 "Loyal Minister" Meng Liang

Sun Hua narrated the mayor's bitter experience, and the others listened quietly, in awe.

Lin Yao was silent for a while and said in a serious voice.

"What about the local supervision department? Even if the supervision force does not have 100% coverage, it is impossible that they have not received any news about such a rampant thing, right?"

Sun Hua sighed.

"Yang Wei, director of the Xinzhou Supervision Department branch in charge of local supervision affairs, was the first to be roped in by him.

According to the investigation results, Meng Liang was very complimentary to Yang Wei when they first met. After the two had known each other for a while, he gave Yang Wei a hundred acres of fertile land.

After Yang Wei accepted such a big gift, he turned a blind eye to those dirty things from then on.

Through spies, I learned that Meng Liang’s mantra was, how can there be a civet cat in the world who can catch mice but not be greedy? "

"This metaphor is very vivid. He is worthy of being an official from Zhao Ting."

Lin Yao smiled and gently touched his palm.

But there was no smile in his eyes, and the harsh and terrifying cold light made Sun Hua's body tremble slightly.

Sun Hua knew that Lin Yao was disgusted by those insects and that the cleaning activities on Liangzhe Road a year ago would be repeated again.

Lin Yao, who learned everything, arrived at the official headquarters of Xinzhou under the escort of the army.

Through Lin Yao's token, the army entered the city unimpeded, blocking and cutting off the exchange of information between the city and outside the city.

Lin Yao arrived at the government office with Wang Yuyan and Sun Hua, ready to meet Meng Liang.

Meng Liang, the protagonist of all this, had no idea that Lin Yao had already set his sights on him, and he had half-stepped into the underworld.

As the magistrate of Xinzhou, Meng Liang still enjoys a leisurely life every day, especially since the county magistrate of this capital directly under Xinzhou is a member of his clan and a die-hard supporter with close interests.

It took him a lot of effort to place his own people in such a high position.

However, because the rebel army focused on the two Zhejiang Roads at that time, there were not enough personnel to control Jiangnan East Road and Fujian Road at the same time.

Therefore, under the condition that there are no problems in the general direction, the supervision of the powers at the governor level has been relaxed.

Therefore, after colluding with most of the officials, he successfully completed such an operation under one roof to create an imbalance of power.

With this tribesman running up and down for him by his side, he puts the situation in Shinshu under his control.

No disturbance can be hidden from his eyes. He is the real "Tu Emperor" of Xinzhou, more majestic than Lin Yao who is far away in Suzhou.

But the heavy blow of the rebel army has really fallen, and the monkey who "can be called the king because there is no tiger in the mountain" will eventually show his true form.

The rebel army controlled everyone in the government office, and then Lin Yao, Wang Yuyan, and Sun Hua appeared in the lobby of the Xinzhou government office and sat at the first place without hesitation.

So much so that Meng Liang, who used to be a strategist in the past, now seemed at a loss as he had never experienced such a battle.

He didn't know why so many soldiers appeared in the city, and the vague leader was a young man sitting upright.

At the first glance at Lin Yao, Meng Liang felt that he was an indescribably noble prince, but this was the territory of the rebel army, so where could there be Zhao Ting's emperor's son.

In particular, Lin Yao noticed Meng Liang's gaze and recognized that this was the rightful owner he was looking for, showing a faint smile.

But this smile did not make Meng Liang feel relieved. Instead, he felt a biting chill deep in his heart.

He was not qualified to meet Lin Yao before. He only knew that the top leader of the rebel army was named Lin, so he did not know that the person who appeared here was Lin Yao whom he had longed for.

You must know Lin Yao's name, but it appears in his mouth from time to time, and he curses secretly when no one else is around.

But when Lin Yao himself actually appeared in front of him, he didn't know why.Moreover, in addition to those soldiers, the young man was also accompanied by two very distinctive people.

One is a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, and the other is a girl with rare beauty in the world. Lin Yao looks more and more like the playboy described in the storybook.

"At first glance, it looks like a very powerful family. I shouldn't mess with it at will."

Meng Liang felt a little heavy in his heart.

"Who are you? Don't you know that the rebel army stipulates that the army cannot enter the city at will?"

He didn't know Lin Yao's details, so he directly brought out the regulations of the rebel army to see if he could suppress this group of people who came out of nowhere.

Hearing this, the smile on Lin Yao's face became even brighter.

You must know that not long ago, this guy must have scoffed at his own regulations, but now he uses them.

"I am the guy you can't forget, Suzhou Lin Yao."

This sentence made Meng Liang, who had been looking confused just now, shiver uncontrollably and his breathing quicken.

"Lin...General..."

The person he usually talked about actually appeared in front of him, and the guilty conscience coming from deep in his heart made Meng Liang extremely nervous.

At this moment, Meng Liang glanced at Lin Yao's eyes again. The coldness in Lin Yao's eyes was no longer unclear, but a deep murderous intention.

This mental intimidation made him take a few steps back and accidentally fell to the ground, looking embarrassed.

"Why is that, Mengfu Yin? You claim to cover the sky with one hand in Xinzhou and turn a blind eye to the orders issued by the rebel army. Why do you think it is so different from the rumors now?"

Lin Yao had a joking expression on his face as he slowly leaned back on his seat and looked at Meng Liang in a casual manner.

"Sure enough, 'Three people become a tiger'. Words and deeds gradually become distorted as they are passed down from generation to generation. Even someone like you, Meng Fuyin, can be so heroic. Rumors are very harmful."

Lin Yao said this and couldn't help stroking his hands and laughing softly.

Hearing Lin Yao's teasing, Meng Liang suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of humiliation. The previous strategizing was like a joke in this young man's mouth.

But looking at the soldiers watching eagerly next to him, the anger in his heart suppressed again.

He knelt down skillfully, rolled and crawled towards Lin Yao, but did not dare to get too close, for fear that these big-headed soldiers would kill him as an assassin.

After finding a suitable position, he lowered his head that was usually held high, trying to find that glimmer of hope.

"My subordinate, Yin Mengliang of Xinzhou Prefecture, pays homage to the general. Long live the general!"

After saying that, he slammed his head to the ground.

There was a muffled sound, and the eyes of the guards in the lobby changed when they looked at him. This was the forbearance of the old officials. Can they bend and stretch as recorded in the book?

The smile on Lin Yao's face was bright.

"It's really amazing. Meng Fuyin, who is the most outspoken person in Xinzhou, also has the style of 'lying on fuel and tasting gall' like King Goujian of Yue. Will he join forces with Zhao Ting to take my head when the time comes?"

Meng Liang trembled in his heart.

"My subordinates are loyal to the general, how can they be so rebellious? If it were not for the general, my subordinates would not be able to transform from a county magistrate to a state governor. How dare we forget the kindness of knowing each other?"

Meng Liang's forehead touched the ground deeply and he did not dare to raise it even a little bit to show his surrender.
