Chapter 572

Governor's Mansion.

Night filled the air.

But the firelight in the study was still bright.

Duan Yu sat behind the desk, looking at the number of people who had frozen to death in the townships around Jixian today, as well as the number of people counted.

"Marquis, Jia Xu and Bai Tu are waiting outside."

Tie Shitou's voice sounded outside the study.

"Let them in." Duan Yu said without raising his head.

As the study door opened, Liu Bai Tu and Jia Xu, carrying the cold air, walked in one after another.

"Warm up first."

"Shitou, have someone bring hot tea."

Duan Yu, holding a brush, looked at Jia Xu and Liu Bai Tu.

After the two entered the room, they both knelt in front of the brazier to warm up.

After closing the statistical document in front of him, Duan Yu put down the brush in his hand, then picked up the hot tea on the desk and looked at the two.

"Is Geng Bi solved?"

Jia Xu nodded and said: "Solved."

"So fast?" Duan Yu was a bit surprised.

Geng Bi entered the city at noon, and it wasn't even night yet, how was it solved?

"How was it solved?" Duan Yu asked curiously.

Jia Xu said calmly: "I killed all the attendants, guards, maids, and two beautiful concubines he brought with him."

"Ah?"

Duan Yu was stunned: "Just... just killed them all like that?"

Liu Bai Tu, who was kneeling beside Jia Xu, immediately shook his head: "Not really, the corpses have already been taken away by me."

Duan Yu: "..."

How did these two guys start cooperating better and better now?

"Dealing with someone like Geng Bi is still very simple." Jia Xu said slowly: "He is just a monitor planted by Yuan Kui beside the Marquis."

"Just need to make him shut his mouth."

"Yuan Kui's purpose is not to limit the Marquis, but just hopes that the Marquis will develop within his control, not exceeding the boundary."

Hmm.

Duan Yu nodded.

That's how it is.

It's just that Yuan Kui's abacus is a bit too good.

As long as this winter passes, the future direction will not be decided by Yuan Kui.

After He Jin appears on the stage, for a long time in the future, they will be suppressed by He Jin.

Sometimes he even has an illusion.

You say Liu Hong is stupid?

Is he really stupid?

Using eunuchs to balance the scholar-gentry, and when the eunuchs were no longer useful, he immediately supported a powerful maternal relative.

It seems that from the beginning, Liu Hong had been trying to find ways to suppress the scholar-gentry of the world.

Look at the node where the Huang Jin Rebellion broke out, and the node where Liu Hong promoted He Jin.

The Huang Jin Rebellion broke out, and two traitors appeared among the Ten Regular Attendants in the palace.

In a helpless situation, Liu Hong chose to lift the party ban and use the power of the scholar-gentry to suppress the Huang Jin.
