Just a few days ago, Chai Jingyun took over and coordinated the siege of Moon Island, and made many actions resolutely.
First, he replaced the local defenders who originally besieged Moon Island with people from the southern frontier army.
The previous policy of only being allowed in but not allowed out was still continued, almost completely cutting off Moon Island's connection with the outside world.
But in fact, he deliberately took advantage of the opportunity to change defenses, exposed some flaws, and came out of Moon Island to communicate with the outside world.
Of course, these people who came out were naturally closely monitored, and then they followed the clues and found many people on the shore who had colluded with them.
Then, he successively removed several Liangdao Island's contact points on the shore, and picked out many officials from surrounding counties and towns who had connections with the island.
Sun Dafu, the magistrate of Gong County, is one of the officials found to be problematic this time.
When Chai Jingyun appeared in front of him with the officers and soldiers, Sun Dafu knew that something had happened to him.
He said that he had many clues in his hand and could cooperate with Chai Jingyun to suppress the bandits and eliminate the merits.
Chai Jingyun agreed on the spot.
In the past few days, based on his clues, Chai Jingyun found many gangsters' dens.
Among them, there are those from Moon Island and those from other places.
However, Chai Jingyun knew that Sun Dafu had been avoiding the important issues and choosing the easy ones. In fact, there were still many issues that he had not yet explained.
Providing a few points of contact for those questions is trivial.
However, Chai Jingyun pretended not to know and acted very trusting.
Because he knew that Sun Dafu was the guard of Dang Feihong in Lingxiao County.
He needs to dig out more things through Sun Dafu.
Especially about Dang Feihong.
Dang Feihong has a very close relationship with several groups of gangsters on the Fushui River.
In these years, if Dang Feihong had not been protecting these people, the bandits on the Fushui River would not have been exterminated repeatedly by the court.
Some time ago, Moon Island committed something unknown, and it was reported to the ears of the current Emperor Shun, and this was how he was set up as a model.
There are so many bandits in the world, and Moon Island is the only one that stands out.
Emperor Shun issued a secret order that night to thoroughly investigate the banditry.
As the governor of Lingxiao City, Dang Feihong also received the news.
At the first opportunity, he almost terminated all contact with all the gangsters, and even destroyed many evidences of his contact with the gangsters.
However, he was still worried that he would be in disaster, so he submitted a resignation memorial and returned to his hometown on the grounds of old age and illness.
Emperor Shun immediately approved Dang Feihong's resignation.
However, Enzhun's imperial edict mentioned that he hoped he could stick around for a while longer and wait until the new county governor came to take over before leaving office.
This wait lasts for several months.
Dang Feihong cannot leave until the new county governor comes.
Otherwise, he would not be able to bear the charge of abandoning his official position and running away.
Dang Feihong also asked people to go to the official department many times to inquire.
The officials in the Ministry of Personnel also knew what was going on.
They reported it several times, but every time the report came to nothing, it was as if Emperor Shun had forgotten to arrange a new governor.
People in the Ministry of Personnel didn't know why Emperor Shun didn't approve the new official who succeeded him, but Chai Jingyun knew.
Because the new county governor has been delayed in appointing him. This was his idea.
He once wrote a memorial in which he suggested that Emperor Shun use the "drag" tactic to deal with Dang Feihong.
Obviously, Emperor Shun adopted it.
Chai Jingyun just wanted to hold Dang Feihong back, to make him sit on pins and needles and expose his flaws.
He has always believed that people will have flaws, and this Feihong must be the same.
However, Dang Feihong is so cunning and invulnerable.
Prince Rui's Mansion has been investigating him for several months, but still found nothing.
Therefore, when Chai Jingyun knew that Sun Dafu was related to various gangsters, he immediately found him.
Because he knew that Sun Dafu was a direct descendant of Dang Feihong.
He wanted to use Sun Dafu to dig out more inside stories about Dang Feihong.
But I didn't expect that Sun Dafu would be dead just now.
Moreover, it was also implicated as having something to do with the Shadow Sect.
Things became more complicated and confusing.
Therefore, Chai Jingyun hoped that Duan Wenjun would not intervene in Sun Dafu's case because he was afraid that he would be involved.
It was just because of this that he gave instructions to the Wang brothers to close the case as soon as possible.
The Wang brothers are very likely to be members of Dang Feihong.
This matter will inevitably reach Dang Feihong’s ears immediately.
He hoped that this matter would not attract too much attention from Dang Feihong, so that he would not focus on Duan Wenjun.
He would rush over from Lingxiao City with only one purpose, and that was to help Duan Wenjun clear up the relationship as soon as possible.
Regarding the Shadow Sect, after he wrote to the Eighth Emperor Uncle, the Eighth Emperor Uncle would definitely contact Grandma Yujian Sect and take action together.
Understanding Chai Jingyun's good intentions, Duan Wenjun said nothing more and prepared to return to Duanjiabao.
There is no need for him to stay in Gong County anymore.
Chai Jingyun had no intention of keeping him.
Before leaving, Chai Jingyun said that he would send 500 southern frontier troops to Duanjiabao to assist Duan Wenjun in maintaining the safety of Duanjiabao.
However, Duan Wenjun politely refused.
It's not that he doesn't need these people, it's that he doesn't trust them.
He even had some scruples about Chai Jingyun.
He always felt that this Second Young Master Chai was definitely not as simple as he saw.
On the way back, Duan Wenjun was sitting in the carriage, and Mo Shoucheng and Luo Liangping were sitting on the edge of the carriage in front, one on the left and the other on the right.
The carriage galloped on the official road, and the breeze blew open the curtain in front of the carriage. Duan Wenjun looked at Mo Shoucheng, and then said, "Old Mo, what kind of person is this Eighth Prince?"
Mo Shoucheng was stunned when he heard this, handed the reins in his hand to Luo Liangping next to him, then turned around and jumped to sit next to Duan Wenjun, "You finally couldn't help but ask."
He paused, then his voice became very thin, and he lowered his voice and said, "The Eighth Prince is a Jianghu man, and he is also a disciple of the Ba Dao Sect."
Duan Wenjun was shocked when he heard this, "The Eighth Prince is a disciple of the Ba Dao Sect? Doesn't that mean he and Lao Luo are fellow disciples of the same sect?"
Mo Shoucheng glanced ahead warily and saw that Luo Liangping had no reaction, so he continued, "I guess Old Luo doesn't know about the existence of the Eighth Prince! At most, he is an outer disciple, and maybe even the outer disciples can't Calculate."
At this point, he paused and then continued.
"When the current emperor ascended the throne, he recalled the Eighth Prince to Shangliang. Old Luo may not have known it at that time. Moreover, the Eighth Prince entered the Ba Dao Sect under a pseudonym, so even if someone knows him, this matter, even if Even the people inside the Ba Dao Sect don’t know much.”
"After the Eighth Prince returned to Beijing, he has been living in seclusion, staying aloof from the world and living a leisurely life. Therefore, people also jokingly call him the 'Eighth Prince'."
"It's just that few people know it, but everyone in the know knows that the Eighth Prince actually holds Dashun's most powerful power and the most sophisticated intelligence system in his hands."
"There are many people in the world who are actually working for the Eighth Prince. A certain inconspicuous swordsman we saw while passing by might be one of the Eighth Prince's people."
"Or maybe we see a hawker selling steamed buns or a waiter in a restaurant. Maybe they are all the work of the Eighth Prince."
"So, the Eighth Prince seems to have nothing to do with the world, but he is actually the most favored person by the current emperor."
Hearing this, Duan Wenjun suddenly understood why Mo Shoucheng immediately felt relieved when he heard that the Eighth Prince would thoroughly investigate the Shadow Sect.
In fact, what the Eighth Prince is doing at this moment is very similar to the Shadow Sect of the previous dynasty.
Therefore, asking the Eighth Prince to investigate the matter of the Shadow Sect seems to be the most suitable person.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
However, he was a little surprised that the Eighth Prince was a member of the Ba Dao Sect, and he also controlled the world and intelligence of Dashun. This was a very confidential matter.
Mo Shoucheng was not a person who liked gossip, so why did he tell him so readily today?
However, when his thoughts drifted to Chai Jingyun's heartfelt words just now, he couldn't help but feel heavy again.
Originally, I thought of taking in the old, weak, sick and disabled people on Moon Island, just to let them help build Duanjia Fort, and also to save their lives, killing two birds with one stone.
He felt that as long as these people had enough to eat, a place to live, and a way to survive, they would not rebel again and would work down to earth.
He just wanted to do something secretly and let Duanjiabao develop rapidly.
However, Chai Jingyun's actions tied the reception of these people to the "national policy" of "carrot and stick".
This is tantamount to putting everything on the bright side.
If you put it on the bright side, it will be easily remembered.
What Duan Wenjun dislikes the most is being remembered.
Especially, being worried about by some people with ulterior motives hiding in corners...
