Leaving Jiangnan County, we changed to a ship. This time, Jiangnan County Navy was responsible for the escort. Although it was very windy and rainy along the way, we did not encounter any more pirates or Japanese pirates.
Not long after arriving at Jiangdong County safely, Governor Lin Dongyang led hundreds of officials to greet him. Needless to say, there was a lot of excitement.
When chatting with Lin Dongyang, they talked about the death of Shi Mingwen. Although the emperor issued an order to capture the murderer Xiao Xinghan, he did not press for it. The emperor must have known that Lin Dongyang would not be able to catch Xiao Xinghan.
Therefore, a general named Lin Han was specially transferred to replace Shi Mingwen's position, responsible for catching and suppressing the rebels of Tianxuanhui.
We have been struggling for more than half a month, but we have caught dozens of suspects, many of whom are officials from Jiangnan County. Although they were all recruited under severe torture, the opinions of lower officials may not be natural. Xuanhui's...
Let's say that Xiao Xinghan has done such a big thing, and he has already run away a long time ago. How can he still stay here and wait for him to catch him?
But he has worked too hard, and now the whole Jiangdong County is in panic. Everyone has no intention of doing anything. Who knows one day he will be targeted by Lin Han, and a disaster is imminent!
I wonder what the emperor is thinking? We, Jiangdong County, have finally lived in peace for several years, but if we continue like this, we will cause trouble!
Lin Dongyang obviously did not agree with the emperor's move. The Tianxuan Society had been in rebellion for a year or two, so how could it be wiped out in one fell swoop?
The most important thing now is to let various places recuperate and improve the economy. Once people can live and work in peace and contentment, who will want to rebel?
As the saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!
If the Tianxuan Society loses the support of the people, it means that it has no foundation for its existence and will naturally gradually die out. The same is true for other rebels.
This is also the mainstream opinion in the court, but the emperor insists on going his own way and must wipe out Tianxuanhui in one fell swoop!
This time the ministers were not able to express their opinions, because it was said that the Queen Mother was so frightened and angry after hearing that her nephew was killed that she fell ill...
Therefore, the emperor is avenging his mother. This is an act of a filial son. Who dares to persuade the emperor to be unfilial?
I'm tired of living!
However, Xiao Chen knew that Tianxuanhui was a thorn in Li Wanjiang's side. He would not be able to survive for a day until it was removed.
If not for the opposition from all officials in the court, he would have launched a large-scale purge operation.
This time he was not showing any filial piety, he was just using it as an excuse.
As for the fact that the Queen Mother was so angry that she was bedridden, I am afraid that most of the reason was that Li Wanjiang sent his cronies to become the generals of Jiangdong County!
Because the former Jiangdong County was always controlled by the Queen Mother and her relatives.
As soon as Shi Mingwen died, Li Wanjiang snatched him away. How could the Queen Mother not be angry?
Naturally, there was no need to say these words to Lin Dongyang. I just listened to his complaints for a long time and then changed the subject.
Ask him what happened to Liu Changan, the official in Anyang Mansion?
Lin Dongyang said that three days after Shi Mingwen's death, he immediately resigned and left Jiangdong with his family. He was probably afraid of being implicated by Shi Mingwen's affairs...
Xiao Chen could only sigh and shake his head after hearing this.
Wei Yuntian was greatly disappointed when he heard about it. He had been thinking about Miss Liu Xiangqin.
Ye Baiqing said what's there to worry about? You should be happy, that girl from Xiangqin is no longer a young lady, and you are more than enough to match her!
There is no need for the boss to step in. Your brother and I can propose marriage. Where is his hometown? Brother, for your happiness, I will go out of my way to take a trip!
Xiao Chen said that Liu Changan was a native of Jiangdong. He did not return to his hometown after resigning, but disappeared with his wife and daughter...
Now Ye Baiqing has no choice. It seems that you and Yuntian have no fate!
But why should a man worry about not having a wife? Where in the world is there no grass? Later, brothers will definitely find you a lady who is ten times better than her.
While the brothers were trying to persuade Wei Yuntianzhong, a brother from the West Factory came to report that there was a young girl outside who wanted to see...
Wei Yuntian's mind was filled with Liu Xiangqin's thoughts, and he jumped up immediately after hearing this.
However, the brother said that the little girl claimed to be our boss's distant cousin, Xiaozi Ling'er.
Xiao Chen was confused when he heard this, "Holy shit, I still have a cousin?" Why didn’t I know? What Linger? I don't know him.
Is she mistaken?
That brother is right, we have already cross-examined you very clearly, and we are looking for you, the boss! By the way, boss, you are so famous, there is no way you can make a mistake...
Is it? Who the hell is asking her to come in and let me take a look?
"Cousin!" As soon as a pretty girl came in, she threw herself into Xiao Chen's arms, hugged him and cried loudly. Although the cry was deafening, there was not a drop of tear in her eyes. It was like a howl.
Xiao Chen sighed secretly in his heart and said to himself, second brother, what are you doing?
It's not enough for me to spy on your brother secretly, now I've obviously sent a little spy here!
What about cousin... isn't this Duan Linger.
"Okay, don't howl. Your ears are going to be deafened. You don't even have a single tear. Who are you crying for?" Xiao Chen pushed her away.
As a cousin, he is ruthless enough.
"But I'm sad. I've traveled thousands of miles and experienced all kinds of hardships, and it's so hard to see you. Can you not cry?" Duan Linger paused and added the key sentence, "Besides, I can't do anything in this world. You are a relative!"
It sounds quite like memorizing lines.
Everyone here is a human being, and they can tell at a glance that she is lying.
Brand new thin calfskin boots, spotless green gauze light clothes, shiny hair, and a pink and white face. At first glance, they don't look like someone who has walked through thousands of mountains and rivers and been exposed to wind and sun.
The accent is wrong, the expression is wrong, the tone is wrong, and most importantly, the behavior is wrong.
How could any cousin see her cousin so affectionate? Just jump up and hug her, don't you know the principle of men and women accepting and not kissing?
What's more, she's a distant cousin.
"There's no need to be sad, I will take good care of you." Xiao Chen couldn't help but be touched when he heard her last words, and his expression softened.
"Well, thank you cousin." Duan Linger stopped crying immediately.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Zhuge Xiaosheng..." Xiao Chen was interrupted by Duan Linger before he could finish his words.
"I know him, he is... cousin, your brother." Duan Ling'er almost slipped up, but fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and came back in time.
Before she came, Xiao Xinghan gave her a detailed introduction to the people around Xiao Chen, especially Zhuge Xiaosheng, saying that he was talented in literature, military skills, and extremely smart, and was one of the people Xiao Chen trusted most.
"You're right, he is my brother, you have to call him brother." Xiao Chen had three black lines on his forehead and thought to himself that this is not an undercover agent, it's just a little bomb!
"Hello, brother Xiaosheng!" Duan Linger shouted obediently.
"I don't dare, but in order to make it easier for the two of us to get along with each other in the future and avoid making people suspicious, it's better to act like brothers and sisters." Zhuge Xiaosheng said with a smile.
"Yeah!" Duan Ling'er couldn't understand what Zhuge Xiaosheng meant, but she happily agreed.
She just didn't want to think about it, why is there anything suspicious about your cousin coming to seek refuge with her cousin?
