Xiao Chen lay lazily on Shu Fei's lap. When he heard the word "daotai", his eyes couldn't help but show a hint of depth, and he said lazily: "No need."
"If you go to Weiyang City, you don't need to give this person any face at all."
This Jiangdong Daotai Jiang Rongfeng was one of Zhou Tianfu's most proud disciples. Naturally, what he has done along the way has already reached this person's ears. I am afraid that when I go to Weiyang City, there will already be a big greeting gift waiting for me.
After stretching, Xiao Chen hugged Concubine Shu's slender waist sideways. The carriage bumped, but the beauty's arms felt soft and comfortable, "I will sleep for a while, and call me when you get there."
Concubine Shu smiled and shook her head, letting Xiao Chen get tired of herself.
On the side, Ji Hongluan was sitting at the door of the carriage holding a pair of knives. When she saw the two people rushing to make love to each other, she sneered at the corner of her mouth.
The group of people arrived at Weiyang City in the afternoon. From a distance, they saw that the city gate was empty and no one came to greet them.
Wei Zhongxian asked for instructions through the curtain of the carriage: "Governor, this Jiangdong Daotai is really brave, and it did not welcome the imperial envoy at all. Otherwise, the governor should rest in the carriage for a while, and let his subordinates go into the city to remind him. Fan?"
"No need," Xiao Chen didn't mind these false courtesy and said leisurely, "Just go to the city directly."
"But..." Wei Zhongxian subconsciously refused to accept it and wanted to persuade him again.
But thinking about Xiao Chen's always uncompromising and decisive temper, he couldn't help but shut up and just responded respectfully, "Yes."
Although this Daotai and the imperial envoy are all third-grade officials, the imperial envoy came with the emperor's order. Naturally, he is a higher-ranking official. How dare this Daotai be so presumptuous? If he were the governor, he would definitely give him a look. .
Wei Zhongxian thought for a moment, raised his whip again, shouted, "Drive", and the carriage continued towards Weiyang City.
After entering the city, all the way to Dedaotai Mansion, the carriage stopped at the turning intersection.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly and asked with some dissatisfaction: "What's going on?"
"Back to the Governor, many people gathered in front of the Daotai Mansion. They were so noisy that they didn't know what they were doing. They blocked the originally spacious road and made it difficult for carriages to pass." Wei Zhongxian reported respectfully.
Xiao Chen raised his eyes slightly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes, and looked at Ji Hongluan who was sitting at the door of the carriage, "Go and find out."
"What?" Ji Hongluan sat still, her eyes unhappy, "Are you giving me orders?"
"Don't forget..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Chen raised his hand to stop her and asked Concubine Shu directly, "What do you think?"
Concubine Shu nodded and said pleasantly: "Hong Luan, go ahead."
Ji Hongluan was a little angry and dissatisfied, but Xiao Chen had closed his eyes and paid no attention to her.
Obviously, Xiao Chen now finds this woman Luo Liba to be verbose and ignorant of current affairs, which is annoying.
The corners of Ji Hongluan's mouth moved, but she didn't say anything more. She just snorted and jumped out of the carriage.
It's strange that when this dog eunuch isn't smiling, he always has a chilling majesty about him.
"You're not a big official, you're not a small person, you think you're the emperor?" Ji Hongluan thought coldly, squeezing into the crowd.
Not long after, she returned to the carriage door, lifted the curtain with a stern expression, and said in a straight voice, "Let's get it straight, these people are just ordinary people joining in the fun, the real fun is in the yamen."
"A group of students are surrounding you, asking Master Daotai to capture you and report it to the Emperor to punish you."
"How about it? Shall we go home now?"
There was an obvious flash of schadenfreude in the little beauty's beautiful eyes.
Xiao Chen sat up from Concubine Shu's lap, stretched his body lazily, and walked out of the carriage.
After jumping out of the carriage, he gently patted Ji Hongluan's little face and said, "Beauty, if you want to see my governor's jokes, you may have to wait until the next life."
"You... don't touch me!"
Ji Hongluan was so angry that she stamped her foot and wanted to raise her hand to hit Xiao Chen, but she saw that Xiao Chen was walking calmly but very fast, and he squeezed into the crowd in a flash.
Xiang Yichun and Wei Zhongxian rushed forward and hurriedly opened the way for Xiao Chen.
"The imperial envoy has arrived..."
Wei Zhongxian shouted, and the people watching were stunned for a moment. Then, the confusion became more and more chaotic, and a burst of discussion came towards Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was dressed in regular clothes, his eyes were calm, and he was walking with his hands behind his back. At this time, there was nothing around him to show his status as an imperial envoy. However, his calm and calm demeanor still made the people watching naturally stop talking, and their eyes were all in agreement. There was a complex solemnity.
The common people made way for themselves, separated on both sides, and looked at Xiao Chen inquiringly. I just felt that there was a frightening majesty in this young imperial envoy.
"Why do you look more stylish than Mr. Daotai?"
"Nonsense, of course the Imperial Envoy's officer is older than Master Daotai's."
"But those scholars are not easy to mess with. They all have backers behind them. I think no matter how powerful this imperial envoy is, he will be in trouble today."
As Xiao Chen strode up the high steps in front of Daotai Mansion, the people behind him started talking again.
In the Yamen courtyard, all the scholars were also stunned. They didn't know whether they were forced by Xiao Chen's majesty, or they didn't expect Xiao Chen to arrive so soon.
Suddenly, the two Jiangdong Dao officials who were surrounded by a group of scholars came to their senses, pushed aside the crowd and hurried out the door.
"I didn't know that when the imperial envoy arrived, the subordinate officials and others were far away to greet him!"
"I'm waiting for you to pay your respects to the Imperial Envoy!"
The two of them jogged all the way to the gate of the Yamen, and immediately bowed and saluted Xiao Chen, looking very respectful.
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the two people with a somewhat downcast look, but he just snorted slightly and was too lazy to pay attention to them.
Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian stepped forward and asked in a loud voice: "Who are you? Tell your name to the Imperial Envoy."
The taller, black-robed official spoke first and raised his fists, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy, please go to the Jiangdong Road Case Inspector, Xing Tianming."
Another little fat man put on a smile and raised his hands, lowering his body, "Returning to your lord, I am the official history official of Jiangdong Road, Wang Jinli."
"I'm waiting for you, my lord!"
The two men spoke at the same time and bowed to the end, very respectfully.
Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed even more, and there was already a hint of danger in his eyes when he looked at these two people.
Wei Zhongxian quietly looked at Xiao Chen's face, and when he saw this, he immediately asked in a deep voice: "History of Criminal Investigation and History of Administration? Why are you two the only ones coming out to greet them?"
"Where is Master Daotai?"
"The imperial envoy is here, why don't you come out quickly to greet him?"
He spoke arrogantly, and his eyes were as cold as Xiao Chen's. In the eyes of these two Jiangdong officials, they seemed to be taking advantage of others' power.
The Chief of Staff directly bowed his hand to Xiao Chen and said apologetically: "There was an emergency on Xijiang Road yesterday, and Master Daotai needs to go and handle it in person."
"Your Excellency has already prepared the ceremony to greet the Imperial Envoy in person. However, due to current government affairs, we can no longer take care of these formalities. We can only focus on government affairs first. Lord Daotai will probably stay in Xijiang Road for a few days."
"But don't worry, Imperial Envoy. Master Daotai said that he will rush back as soon as the matter is over."
"Furthermore, Master Daotai has prepared the Jiangdong Post House for you. Master Daotai personally watched the decorations by the people below. He also ordered us to make sure that you, the imperial envoy, can have a comfortable stay in Jiangdong Road."
Xiao Chen's face slowly darkened, and a hint of majestic solemnity filled the air silently. In almost this silent moment, a frightening majesty enveloped both inside and outside the Yamen.
