"Salt Gang?" Xiao Chen pondered for a moment. This was an extremely important gang in the world, and because of the salt transportation issue, it had many contacts with the imperial court. It could be said to be a major connection point with the imperial court.
"They actually got involved in this matter. It seems that Jiang Rongfeng is really profound."
The cold eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of amusement in Xiao Chen's eyes.
Ji Hongluan was very nervous. She pulled Xiao Chen and whispered: "This anti-rape conference is no joke. As far as I know, all the masters in the world are here for everyone to discuss." A sure way to kill you in one fell swoop!"
"You have offended the people this time!"
Xiao Chen sneered, but still had a leisurely attitude, "Didn't I say it before? The mob is not called the people."
"Okay, Xiao Hong, just keep your heart in your stomach and pretend you don't know about this matter. Of course, you are now a member of the governor, so you don't have to attend."
"Just let these ants do the work."
He has never taken these gangsters seriously. No matter how hard these people try, they are just ridiculous mantises in front of the imperial cavalry.
"But..." Ji Hongluan was a little dissatisfied and said in a low voice, "These people were clearly used by Jiang Rongfeng and used as guns. They don't know the truth!"
"How can ants have any brains? They just run wherever the human stick points them."
Seeing Xiao Chen's calm and determined look, Ji Hongluan knew that she couldn't persuade him.
However, she would never be able to allow her compatriots to help others do evil.
After taking a deep look at Xiao Chen, Ji Hongluan said coldly: "Okay, I understand. Anyway, be careful."
Before turning to leave, she couldn't help but glance into the room again.
The little princess was so arrogant that she dared to offend her like this.
However, her appearance is similar to that little bitch, which is really unlucky for her!
Seeing Ji Hongluan leave, Xiao Chen did not go back to accompany the princess. He just took this opportunity to run away and went to Xiang Yichun to ask him to make arrangements and go to the Jiangdong Military Governor's Mansion together.
Although the civil unrest in Weiyang City has been suppressed, the civil unrest everywhere has not abated. People in many places on Jiangdong Road have attacked the government, but no one in the government offices is in charge.
They all closed the door and acted like a coward.
It was impossible for Xiao Chen to spoil them, so he wanted to find a strong helper to solve this problem for him.
The garrison was in the west of Weiyang City. When he came outside the military camp, Wei Zhongxian shouted arrogantly: "The Imperial Envoy has arrived. Please come out and greet us, the Governor of Jiangdong Army!"
After a while, Pei Zhaohai and his two lieutenants hurriedly ran out of the camp, politely came to the carriage where Xiao Chen was riding, and said with cupped hands: "Pei Zhaohai, the governor of Jiangdong, I have met the imperial envoy."
Xiao Chen nodded and said with satisfaction: "Master Pei, you are so polite. You are welcome. Please take this governor to the military camp to have a look."
"Yes! My lord, please come in." Pei Zhaohai stepped forward and personally welcomed Xiao Chen as he dismounted.
It is said that the Governor of the Army and Horses is a serious third-grade official who controls the entire Jiangdong army and is on the same level as the Jiangdong Daotai, so if he puts on a big show in front of Xiao Chen, there is nothing to criticize.
Being so polite now is indeed beyond Xiao Chen's expectation.
However, the more polite a person is, the deeper the city is. After all, if this person wanted to take refuge, he would have taken the initiative to visit him long ago. It is impossible for him to still watch from the other side when so many things are happening.
Xiao Chen ignored his superficial words, just walked around the military camp briefly, and then said with a smile: "It seems that the garrison is well managed by Governor Pei. The governor has already seen it and has an understanding of the strength of the troops here. "
"Then now, let's go back to the military office to talk about other things."
Sure enough, Pei Zhaohai's eyes changed slightly, but he still maintained a friendly smile on his face. He stretched out his hand to invite: "This is your invitation, Lord Governor."
There was a very spacious government office not far away. Pei Zhaohai led Xiao Chen there and continued to enthusiastically introduce some unimportant matters, "The garrison here is mainly for training and preparing for war. Although it is not war time, the soldiers will We never slack off in training. So we usually live in camps to adapt to combat conditions."
"Also, the food and grass in the garrison is mainly..."
"Stop." Xiao Chen raised his hand to interrupt him, "There is no need to talk to this governor about these useless things. Governor Pei, I know you are a smart man, and I believe you can already guess the purpose of my visit. "
When they were talking, they had arrived outside the Bingfu Yamen. Pei Zhaohai personally opened the door for Xiao Chen. He was very respectful and had a kind smile, but he still pretended to be stupid. "I...don't quite understand what the Governor meant."
"As an imperial envoy, the governor comes to inspect various places in Jiangdong. It is natural for him to do so. What purpose can this have, haha."
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and had no intention of continuing to play Tai Chi with him. He just happened to return to the Yamen at this moment. It was convenient to talk. Xiao Chen said directly: "The purpose is very simple. To you, Governor Pei, it is nothing." Difficult matter."
"Governor Pei must be aware of the civil unrest. Although the city of Weiyang has calmed down, chaos is still happening in various places in Jiangdong."
"The governor needs you to send troops to suppress it. Within three days, you will solve all civil unrest for me. So, can you understand?"
The happiest thing about dealing with such a veteran is to point it out clearly to him, so that he has no chance to pretend to be confused.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, the look on Pei Zhaohai's face became tense, and a feeling that he was not under his control swept over him, making him immediately vigilant. He was not as polite and leisurely as before.
After frowning and thinking for a long time, Pei Zhaohai bowed his hand and had no choice but to go directly to Xiao Chen. He smiled awkwardly and said: "Logically speaking, the governor has come from afar and needs help with some private matters. The subordinate should help." A bunch of them.”
"But, I'm really sorry. On Jiangdong Road, the garrison and the government have always been independent and have nothing to do with each other."
"So the lower officials really can't take care of the yamen's affairs."
"I suggest you, Lord Governor, go to the local government offices. This is their responsibility and they must take care of it."
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes, flashed a cold and sharp gaze, and sneered: "Governor Pei is such a powerful official, how dare you teach me to do things?"
"It seems that this imperial envoy, this governor, is nothing in front of Lord Pei. Is it possible that the only way you can be obedient is to ask people from the Zhou family of the Prime Minister's Mansion to come to you?"
Pei Zhaohai was stunned for a moment, with a nervous and solemn look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "What does this mean, Lord Governor?"
"We shall be loyal to His Majesty and the imperial court without any second thoughts!"
Xiao Chen's eyes became colder, a chilling air slowly overflowed, and his voice was majestic.
"Since you are loyal to His Majesty, how dare you disobey my imperial envoy's orders?"
