Xiao Chen issued a majestic question, and a dangerous aura enveloped the government office.
You know, the word loyalty is fatal to the sensitivity of military commanders.
If a military general is suspected of being disloyal to the emperor or disrespectful to the court, he will be stripped of his official position and sent to the frontier as a coolie, or his entire family will be executed, implicating three generations of nine tribes!
Pei Zhaohai's nervousness was clearly visible, and he was very eager to show his loyalty. He even had a strong and uncontrollable anger, "What do you mean, Governor Xiao?"
"I just told you everything about Jiangdong. Why are you so unreasonable and labeling me disloyal?"
"You are clearly looking down on human life!"
"Oh, Governor Pei." Xiao Chen sneered, "Has this governor wronged you, or are you devoted to the old thief Zhou family? Do you still want me to be clear with you?"
With that said, Xiao Chen took out the imperial envoy's letter and said majestically: "Pei Zhaohai obeys the order!"
"This governor hereby orders you to send troops to suppress the chaos in Jiangdong Road with the imperial envoy's order."
"Accept the order quickly!"
As soon as the imperial envoy's order came out, Pei Zhaohai had no choice but to obey the order even though he was unwilling to offend Jiang Rongsheng and others.
Otherwise, he would become a party favoring Zhou Tianfu and become an unfaithful and unjust sinner!
Xiao Chen was clearly using the most powerful means to force him to take a stand, and the neutral status he had worked so hard for so many years in Jiangdong Road was wiped out!
His face was full of suppressed resentment, and he was filled with the temper of a military general. He wanted to kill the cunning eunuch in front of him immediately.
But the imperial envoy's orders were like those of the emperor, and the Pei family had been loyal and loyal for generations, so how could he disobey them?
Gritting his teeth hard, Pei Zhaohai could only kneel down to receive the order, "Your Majesty, Pei Zhaohai, accept the order and thank you!"
"Ha." Xiao Chen sneered and said meaningfully, "Master Pei, neutrality is good, but people cannot believe it without a position. People can't just be completely different in their lives. The most pure people are also the most confused. Master Pei, you come from a famous family. The rich people should understand this truth better than this governor."
"Today, if I hadn't given you this opportunity to show your loyalty, then one day you would have lost everything because of your inaction."
After saying this, Xiao Chen smiled, waved his hand casually, and left Pei Zhaohai to think about it.
After all, Pei Zhaohai had no choice but to suppress the civil unrest, and Xiao Chen was able to throw a hot potato away.
Xiao Chen returned to the post house leisurely and leisurely. When he saw Concubine Shu sitting under the grape trellis in the courtyard, reading a book, it was still early. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Go and call the princess and Hongluan. I will take you tonight." Go out and have some fun.”
"What big thing have you solved, are you so happy?" Concubine Shu looked up at him, with tenderness in her eyes.
"It's not a big deal, but it does get rid of a big trouble. It's very satisfying. Go call someone quickly." Xiao Chen urged her with a smile.
Regardless of the ups and downs of Jiangdong Road, I can enjoy myself in peace and contentment. In short, if Jiang Rongfeng wants to burn the governor, he has to climb many mountains and give him a chance to climb.
Xiao Chen was now completely used to having fun in time, lying on the rocking chair under the grape trellis, waiting for Concubine Shu to pick someone up.
After a while, Concubine Shu rushed back anxiously, frowning and said, "Have you seen Hong Luan?"
"I saw her a few hours ago. Nothing happened, so I left her to go wild by herself. Why, she disappeared?"
Xiao Chen suddenly had a bad feeling.
As a well-known heroine in the world, when Ji Hongluan received the invitation to the anti-rape convention, wouldn't she feel that she couldn't get off the stage and really go and mess around with those people in the world?
"I searched both inside and outside the courtyard, but I couldn't find her anywhere. Could it be that she secretly followed you out this afternoon?" Concubine Shu said, also very anxious, and hurriedly walked out the door, "I'll go to the carriage to see Look, is she hiding and joking with us?"
"No need." Xiao Chen grabbed her.
After all, he has fourth-level martial arts. How can he not know if there is anyone hiding in this carriage?
While the two were talking, Ji Yunlan opened the door and said in a cold voice: "A lowly slave girl from a humble background, what should you be anxious about?"
"Just now I saw her sneaking towards the west gate with those two broken knives, as if she was going to leave the city."
"You bitch just won't stop, maybe she's out to betray us!"
Xiao Chen frowned, feeling that Ji Yunlan's words were too unpleasant.
But at this moment, he didn't have time to talk to her anymore, so he just asked: "Are you sure you saw her going west?"
"Of course, my eyes are not for decoration! What's more, that wretched maid dressed in bright clothes and angry with her horse is so arrogant, it's hard not to notice!"
Xiao Chen's face became heavy, knowing that Ji Hongluan was probably going to participate in the anti-rape conference.
"Okay, I understand." Xiao Chen waved his hand, signaling Ji Yunlan to step back first.
Ji Yunlan's beautiful eyes glared at Xiao Chen angrily, with a hint of disbelief in her eyes, "Are you ordering this palace?"
"Slave dog, have you been too arrogant recently?"
Xiao Chen had a lawsuit on his head now and really had no intention of talking to her. He just glanced at Concubine Shu and motioned for the two of them to go back to the room to talk.
Concubine Shu understood, and the two of them immediately returned to the room and closed the door. Xiao Chen told Concubine Shu about the rape and rape conference, and told Concubine Shu: "This matter must not be known to the princess, otherwise she would like to join in the fun. , will definitely go over and cause trouble."
"I will quietly leave the city tonight and disguise myself to take a look at the situation there. You can help me stabilize Ji Yunlan here."
"Are you going by yourself? Without Xiang Yichun?" Concubine Shu was very worried, "Those gangsters are not easy to deal with. It is too dangerous for you to go alone!"
"Don't worry, I know what I know," Xiao Chen said. "Xiang Yichun was quite famous in the world in his early years. I'm afraid that with him following me, I'm more likely to be exposed. What's more, there's that old brother, he won't Let me have something to do."
Xiao Chen pointed out the window. On the opposite roof, under the cold moonlight, a handsome man in a white hat was holding a wine bottle and drinking wine.
Concubine Shu frowned. Although she was still a little worried, she also felt that what Xiao Chen said was reasonable.
As long as Xiao Chen doesn't show up, they will be working in vain. Even if a resolution is reached, all the masters will come to assassinate Xiao Chen. How many people can really resist Xiang Yichun, Ji Hongluan, and Qin Changfeng? And the Lin brothers?
So the safest thing right now is not for too many people to protect Xiao Chen, but for Xiao Chen to go back quickly and quietly.
"Then you must be careful yourself, and just bring her back. Don't be too harsh. I don't think she may be going to associate with those people in the world." Concubine Shu has a clear and exquisite heart and is calm. He said, "Looking at her behavior these days, I think she is probably going to speak for you."
Xiao Chen nodded, he had no time to think about this at the moment, he just wanted to capture his own people.
Whether to kill or coax, we can decide later.
After putting on a disguise and pretending to be a swordsman, Xiao Chen left Weiyang City overnight wearing a bamboo hat and black cloth.
