After knowing the general direction of the Governor's Mansion, Zhang Meng took the lead and continued on the road with the team.
Soon after, the long queue passed through the center of Tiannan City and finally came to a deserted long street.
Walking to the end of the long street, a dilapidated mansion appeared in front of everyone.
Above the vermilion door, there is a crooked plaque covered with dust and cobwebs.
There are three big characters on the plaque.
Governor's Palace!
Looking at the surrounding environment, Zhang Meng couldn't help but complain, "No, how can the dignified Governor's Mansion look like this? What do the officials here do for a living?"
Judging from the surrounding environment, this place has been abandoned for at least ten years.
Xue Bing said from the side, "Okay, it's good to have a place like the Governor's Mansion. Haven't you seen how unpopular we are along the way?"
After Li Dao turned over and dismounted, everyone behind him also dismounted.
When he came to the vermilion door, he pushed it open, and a puff of smoke suddenly floated from inside the door.
Fanning away the smoke and dust in front of his eyes, Li Dao could clearly see the inside of the Governor's Mansion.
Compared to the outside, it looks more rundown inside.
"Chen You!"
"exist."
"Let's arrange for someone to tidy up this place."
"yes!"
No matter what, we still have to settle down first before we can start dealing with matters in Tiannan City and even Southern Xinjiang.
An hour later.
In the lobby of the Governor's Palace.
Because of Chen You's deliberate arrangement, the lobby was the first to be tidied up.
Li Dao was sitting on the main seat, and Zhang Meng and others were standing in front of him.
He looked at a few people and said, "Do you know what I want you to do next?"
Hearing this, several people looked at each other.
Suddenly, Xue Bing stood up from the crowd and said, "Boss, you probably want us to investigate the situation in Tiannan City."
"That's right."
Li Dao said slowly, "This side of Tiannan City is no better than the southern side of Beiman."
"Our enemies are obvious in the north, we just need to attack them directly."
"But here, we need to investigate the situation first and figure out who the enemy is."
"And now the task I give you six is to investigate clearly some matters related to us in Tiannan City within three days."
"After three days, sort out the investigation and report to me."
"As for how to investigate, you can discuss it yourself. I will give you some suggestions. It is best to change into casual clothes and go investigate."
Thinking of what happened after entering the city, several people looked at each other and nodded in unison.
...
Three days passed quickly.
In the past three days, the dilapidated Governor's Mansion was generally tidied up, with only some individual areas needing repairs.
At the same time, after the Governor's Mansion was sorted out, Li Dao also arranged his men.
The Governor's Palace is divided into an inner palace and an outer palace.
The inner palace is where Li Dao, the governor, lives privately.
In addition to Li Dao and Jiu'er living here, he also arranged for the daughters of the Rakshasa Army to live in the inner palace.
On the one hand, it is for their convenience, and on the other hand, it is also for them to protect Jiuer personally.
The outer palace is a semi-public place, and it is also the place where the governor works.
Because the outer palace was very large, Li Dao simply arranged all three thousand pagoda troops in the outer palace to ensure safety.
In short, regardless of the situation outside, there cannot be any problems with the security inside the Governor's Mansion.
The third day.
In a courtyard in the Governor's Palace.
Li Dao sat on a stone bench and fed Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai with a gourd containing precious medicine.
Suddenly, many footsteps sounded outside the courtyard.
"Boss, we are back."
After Zhang Meng's voice sounded, he was immediately seen walking into the courtyard, followed by Wei Yun and others.
Looking at the people in casual clothes, Li Dao put down the gourd in his hand and asked, "Three days have passed. How is the investigation going?"
After several people looked at each other, Xue Bing stood up first and said, "Boss, what I am responsible for investigating in the past three days is the officialdom of Tiannan City."
"After many inquiries, I discovered that the reason why we people were treated coldly three days ago is because now the officialdom in Tiannan City can be said to have ceased to exist in name only."
“The reason for this phenomenon seems to be that after the last governor of Southern Xinjiang resigned, the entire officialdom of Southern Xinjiang was attacked by some local forces in Southern Xinjiang. Among them, Tiannan City, as the central city, suffered a more serious impact. "
"After that attack, some of the officials in Tiannan City were persecuted to death, and some of them joined the local forces in Tiannan City and collaborated with those young people."
"Although there are a very small number of people who have not joined others in the evil deeds, they have also lost their right to speak in Tiannan City and have become one of the ordinary people in Tiannan City."
At this time, Xue Bing suddenly thought of something. After a pause, he said, "I also heard something from some people. It seems that the deputy city lord of Tiannan City was still alive in Tiannan City. , but he got mad and was crazy all day long."
"The deputy city lord back then is still alive?"
"That's what I heard. I just don't know if it's true or not. If he's really alive, then it shouldn't be a problem to find him."
Li Dao nodded, "Then try to find him. As the deputy city lord, he should know many things."
After Xue Bing finished speaking, Wei Yun came out and said, "Boss, I have been investigating issues related to various forces in the city for the past three days."
"According to my investigation, I found that there are three waves of forces hidden within Tiannan City."
"They are the Miao family in Nancheng District, the Huang family in Xicheng District, and the Sun family in Beicheng District."
"These three families control almost all the forces in Tiannan City."
"Currently, almost everyone in Tiannan City lives under the rules of these three families."
"There are also rumors that the reason why these three families are able to control Tiannan City is because they have powerful forces behind them."
Li Dao asked, "What about Dongcheng District? Doesn't anyone control this place?"
Wei Yun explained, "Dongcheng District is a chaotic area in Tiannan City. It is the poorest and most chaotic place. Dragons and snakes are mixed together. Everyone is there. No one has intervened in Dongcheng District yet."
Li Dao suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, where is the area where the Governor's Mansion is located?"
Wei Yun replied, "The Governor's Palace is located in the center of Tiannan City. If we want to calculate it specifically, it should be regarded as Dongcheng District."
Li Dao thought for a while and said, "Do you think the last Governor's Palace occupied Dongcheng District? After all, Dongcheng District is nothing but a piece of meat. I don't believe you said that the three families are not moved."
Wei Yun was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Boss, you are really amazing. This Dongcheng District seems to be really related to the previous Governor's Mansion."
"It is precisely because of this relationship that Dongcheng District was once targeted by people from the other three districts. The reason why it is so chaotic now has a lot to do with that initial targeting."
Later, the other people also reported to Li Dao what they had learned.
After listening to everyone's reports, Li Dao had a general understanding of the internal situation in Tiannan City.
Finally, Li Dao briefly summarized the situation.
The internal order in Tiannan City has collapsed, and the order in the officialdom has completely collapsed. This means that now in Tiannan City, they cannot rely on anyone but themselves.
Moreover, judging from their current situation, they may have more enemies than they imagined.
