I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

Xu Renyou turned around and sat on the main chair in the guest hall before saying, "The Six Garrison Army is selling armor privately. What does Governor Yan think?"

Yan Kang was already a little nervous, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "What's the matter? Why did Minister Xu say that?"

Xu Renyou picked up a cup of tea, and without even looking at Yan Kang, he just said, "Governor Yan, there's no need to pretend since there's no one else here. I've already investigated the matter of your Six Towns Army, and I just need to inform the Emperor."

Yan Kang remained calm and sat down next to Xu Renyou. He said seriously, "What does Minister Xu mean by that? Don't slander the Six Towns Army casually."

Xu Renyou put down his teacup and sneered, "Governor Yan, others say you are a master at pretending to be stupid. I didn't believe it before, but today I see that you are really good at pretending to be stupid. The bad things that your Six Towns Army has done are no secret to me. And Governor Yan, you don't want your nephew to be reported, right?"

Hearing these words, Yan Kang's heart began to panic, and his eyes were filled with surprise.

How did Xu Renyou know about this?

Yan Kang heard the threat in these words.

"You have come all the way here to tell this Governor-General about these things. Do you have any instructions?"

Yan Kang already knew that Tiemaguan was so far away from the capital. The sudden appearance of Xu Renyou, the Minister of Personnel, and his threats with these words must have other intentions.

Xu Renyou smiled and said, "I can't hide it from Governor Yan. I really have something to ask of you."

"Speak directly if you have anything to say."

Yan Kang felt uneasy.

Xu Renyou took out a letter from his arms and whispered, "This is a secret letter from Jiang Zuo to the Ninth Prince."

"Jiang Zuo? What does the letter he wrote to the Ninth Prince have to do with this Governor?"

Yan Kang was extremely confused and took it in his hand.

Xu Renyou said: "You will know if you open it."

Yan Kang read the contents of the letter with some doubt. He was suddenly shocked and his eyes were full of panic.

"This this……"

He couldn't believe it.

The expression on Xu Renyou's face was meaningful.

"Is what is said above true or false?"

Yan Kang was somewhat skeptical.

"You don't need to know this."

Xu Renyou's words were cold.

"Minister Xu, what do you mean?"

Yan Kang quickly pushed the secret letter back.

Xu Renyou held down the secret letter and said, "As long as you hand this letter over to the Qianqi Division in person, I will pretend that nothing happened about the Six Garrison Army's private sale of armor."

"Do you threaten me?"

Yan Kang stared at Xu Renyou.

"It's not a threat. If Governor Yan feels embarrassed, forget it."

After Xu Renyou finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"and many more……"

At this time, Yan Kang called Xu Renyou.

Now Xu Renyou has caught him. If the emperor knew about this, his six military forces would be in trouble. Yan Kang's position as governor would not be retained and he might even be beheaded.

Xu Renyou smiled and sat next to Yan Kang again: "Governor Yan, please think carefully."

"Are you asking this Governor-General to report Jiang Zuo?"

Yan Kang's voice was low.

Xu Renyou nodded slightly and did not answer.

Yan Kang frowned.

Who exactly is this Jiang Zuo?

Thinking back to what I had seen and heard in Anding County, Jiang Zuo was different from ordinary people.

Yan Kang knew very well that Xu Renyou represented the party of the Right Prime Minister, so he guessed that Jiang Zuo was most likely the party of the Left Prime Minister. Otherwise, Xu Renyou would not have come all the way to Tiemaguan just to instruct Yan Kang to make this report.

"This Jiang Zuo has committed many evil deeds, and his death is not a pity. Governor Yan does not need to worry too much."

Xu Renyou's words are meaningful.

Yan Kang remained silent. He had no friendship with Jiang Zuo at all. He had only gone to Anding County to assist him on the orders of the emperor.

He understood that Xu Renyou had caught him and his feet were already in the quagmire.

If Jiangzuo doesn't fall, it will be Yan Kang, the governor of the Six Garrisons, who will fall.

"This Governor General agrees with you, but you must keep the Six Garrison Army's affairs a secret, Minister Xu. Otherwise, we will both be dead and the net will be broken. If you break your promise, this Governor General will also report you and your gang to the Emperor for forming a clique for personal gain."

Yan Kang looked serious.

Xu Renyou said calmly, "Don't worry, Governor Yan. As long as you can complete this task, we will pretend nothing happened."

Yan Kang picked up a secret letter and fell into deep thought.

"Governor Yan, there's no need to wait, let's do it now. The Qianqi Division is in Anding County, not far from your Tiemaguan Pass."

Xu Renyou gave another order.

Yan Kang's face darkened: "No need for you to rush me."

"Remember, Governor Yan, I have never appeared in the Six Towns. Do you understand?"

Before Xu Renyou left, he spoke again in a threatening tone.

"understood."

Yan Kang looked unhappy, but he couldn't disobey Xu Renyou's wishes.

Looking at Xu Renyou's back, Yan Kang's thoughts were extremely complicated at this moment.

Now it seems that he, the governor of six prefectures, has become a pawn in the party struggle.

"Alas, I am walking on thin ice. It took me a lot of effort to get to where I am today, but I didn't expect that I would still be caught by someone!"

Yan Kang was filled with resentment.

After a long pause, he finally stood up, walked out, and ordered: "Prepare a troop for this Governor immediately and go to Anding County!"

A troop of several hundred men escorted Yan Kang from Tiemaguan Pass toward Anding County.

At noon, we finally arrived in Anding County.

Yan Kang looked at the towering city wall, and with complicated thoughts in his mind, he came to the garrison of the Thousand Cavalry Division.

"Where are the lords from your Thousand Cavalry Division? I am Yan Kang, the governor of the Six Garrisons, and I have something important to discuss with you."

Yan Kang came before Qianqisi, put his right hand into his left sleeve, and tightly grasped the secret letter.

A moment later, Szeto Wah came to meet Yan Kang.

"Governor Yan, what is the purpose of your visit?"

Szeto Wah's face was as cold and serious as usual.

Yan Kang was silent for a while, then he took out the secret letter from his sleeve and whispered, "This Governor wants to report the Anding County Magistrate for colluding with the Ninth Prince and plotting a rebellion! This is the treason letter written by Jiang Zuo to the Ninth Prince! Please take a good look at it."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderclap that shocked Situ Hua.

"Jiang Zuo and the Ninth Prince are plotting a rebellion?"

Szeto Wah couldn't believe it.

One of these two people was a minister who was highly trusted by the emperor, and the other was a royal relative who had supported the empress to ascend the throne.

How could they rebel?

Situ Hua took the letter from Yan Kang with great doubts, opened it and was immediately surprised.

"Is this letter really from Jiang Zuo?"

Situ Hua said with a little doubt.

He didn't want to wrongly accuse Jiang Zuo, but the person who reported Jiang Zuo was the governor of the Six Garrisons, and his status was also not low.

"It is absolutely true. This Governor guarantees it with his life."

Yan Kang said solemnly.

If these two people really committed treason, the consequences would be extremely serious.

Looking at the conspiracy letter, Situ Hua suddenly fell into deep thought.
