In the early morning, the sun shines cleanly and straightly in front of the entire Wuzhou city gate.
Amidst the sound of wheels, a green-covered carriage stopped outside the state government office.
The car curtain was raised, and the two brothers Qian Zhe and Qian Ye got out of the car at the same time.
At a glance, they saw a row of carriages parked in front of the state government office.
People from the Shen family, the Yang family, the Teng family, the Jia family, the Luo family, etc., all the big and small families in Wuzhou came.
A guard came up from behind and stuffed a note into Qian Ye's hand.
Qian Ye glanced at it, then held the note in his hand, crushed it, then leaned close to Qian Zhe and whispered: "Brother, a secret source came to report that Zhang Canjun did not return home last night."
Between Li Xuan and Zhang Yi, Qian Ye chose to get closer to Zhang Yi.
After all, Zhang Yi is from the Zhang family in Wuxing, and he is now the second-largest person in the state after Nanchang.
In addition, we are all from aristocratic families. Although they are different in size, they have the same fundamental interests and similar means and bottom line of doing things, making it easier to get together.
Qian Zhe glanced at Qian Ye, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.
Qian Ye was still young and had just returned from studying in Suzhou, so he was quite superstitious about the rights of major families in Wuyue.
For a moment, he wanted to say that it was impossible for him to wake up.
"Don't worry, they must have been busy last night. Everything about my family was settled after last night." After saying that, Qian Zhe strode forward.
The most important reason why Li Xuan was able to successfully ambush the people of Tianyin Sect last night was the secret armory left by Qian Zhuo.
Zhang Wanyu and the others thought they had found the real secret armory, but they had no idea that the secret armory was in the hands of the Qian family from beginning to end.
If it wasn't for the Tianyin Sect to take the bait, they wouldn't have found the secret vault at all.
They didn't even notice that the key parts of the weapons there had already been replaced.
However, this matter cannot be brought up, after all, it involves the Qian family's crime of collaborating with the enemy.
But the matter has been settled completely. The Qian family can no longer be associated with the Tianyin Sect, and their guilt has been completely cleared.
Nowadays, it’s better to travel lightly.
Qian Ye sent people to wait for Zhang Yi, just to get a result from him.
…
Not far ahead, one could see Wuzhou officials headed by Zhang Yi, who had joined the army to record affairs, waiting at the gate of the state government office.
"I've met Zhang Canjun, I've met you all!" Qian Zhe bowed his hands and bowed. The Wuzhou officials present and the heads of the aristocratic families all responded politely.
Qian Zhe asked subconsciously: "Everyone, I wonder if the prince has summoned us here to do something else. Why are we waiting here again?"
"Qian Sikou, just wait. No need to ask any more questions." Zhang Yi replied to Qian Zhe with a cold expression.
"Here!" Qian Zhe was able to obediently return the favor, showing no displeasure at all because of Zhang Yi's ugly face.
Qian Ye on the side frowned slightly.
Zhang Yi didn't have such an attitude when they visited Zhang's house a few days ago.
Everyone present watched this scene with their eyes, some sneered, some looked indifferent, and some were full of doubts.
At this moment, a black carriage, escorted by several Qianniu Guards, came from a distance.
The carriage stopped, and Li Xuan opened the curtain and walked out.
Looking at the people waiting in front of the government office, he slightly cupped his hands and said with a gentle smile: "I'm sorry, everyone, I wrote several memorials overnight, which delayed me a little. Please forgive me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone present quickly bowed and saluted, not daring to neglect at all.
The King of Nanchang would send a memorial to the Crown Prince every three days.
When Li Xuan first arrived in Wuzhou, no one knew much about this matter, but today, no one knows that the memorial of the King of Nanchang will not only be sent to the palace of the prince, but also to the desks of the saints and the queen of heaven.
For this royal prince who is favored by both saints and queens, no one in this state dares to neglect him.
Not to mention, in just over ten days, the Tianyin Sect's foundation in Wuzhou was completely destroyed by him.
Even last night, hundreds of elite members of the Tianyin Sect were almost wiped out by the King of Nanchang.
Thousands of believers who responded in the city were also suppressed.
With this kind of method and this kind of credit, who would dare to stab him in person?
"I am going north to Lanxi today. I came here deliberately to say goodbye to you all today." Before Li Xuan finished speaking, everyone present could not help but raise their heads at the same time, looking at Li Xuan with surprise on their faces.
Some of them had their eyelids twitching, and waves of anxiety appeared on their faces.
They already guessed something.
"As for the affairs of the city!" Li Xuan turned around, waved his hand, and motioned to Li Zhu to pull the black carriage aside. Then he looked at the long street on the west side, and then said softly: "Of course it will be handled by the envoy. .”
Shi Jun, governor, Wuzhou governor Wang Fanglin.
Li Xuan's words sounded like thunder in the crowd.
Before anyone could react, the sound of carriages sounded again at the end of the long street.
Then, escorted by a group of red-clad and golden-armored Qianniu Guards, a dark crimson carriage drove slowly from a distance.
Everyone's faces were filled with astonishment, and then they stood in awe.
Li Xuan stood in front of everyone, watching the carriage drive to the state government office with calm eyes.
Li Xuan stepped forward in person and opened the car curtain herself.
Immediately, Wang Fanglin, wearing a dark crimson official robe, a black hat, and a slightly pale face, appeared in front of everyone.
No one in the room dared to be indifferent at all, and at the same time they bowed their hands and said, "I am here to pay my respects to the envoy. I didn't know that the envoy was coming back. I didn't come far enough to welcome you. I hope you will forgive me for my sin."
"It's okay, everyone, please get up." Wang Fanglin nodded gently, and then another person leaned out of the carriage, and then, together with Li Xuan, helped Wang Fanglin get out of the carriage.
This person is surprisingly none other than Sima Qinming of Wuzhou.
Wang Fanglin stood firmly on the ground, Li Xuan stood behind him on the left side, and Qin Ming stood behind him on the right side.
The three most senior officials of Wuzhou Prefectural Government appeared in front of everyone at the same time.
Qian Zhe looked calm, but Qian Ye behind him couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.
We originally expected that after the king of Nanchang went north, Zhang Yi, who recorded affairs and joined the army, would become the top leader, but unexpectedly, the governor Wang Fanglin came back.
There is also Sima Qinming, not to mention the king of Nanchang, Zhang Yi's status suddenly dropped to fourth.
And the most troublesome thing is that the Qian family's grievances have returned.
The Qian family had just settled the crime of privately selling Tianyin Sect's weapons. Now that the assassination of the assassin Wang Fanglin came back, the original assassination case immediately fell heavily on the Qian family.
…
"Everyone, let's go in." Wang Fanglin nodded politely, and then took the lead to walk towards the state office.
Li Xuan walked behind Wang Fanglin on the far left, and Qin Ming followed on the far right.
Cang Cao joined the army, Li Yuanyi, Shi Cao joined the army, Feng Hua, and Inspector Cao joined the army, Xu Jian, followed behind Li Xuan.
Zhang Yi, who recorded events, joined the army, Hu Cao joined the Han Jiang army, and meritorious Cao Wang Qin joined the army. They followed Qin Ming.
Other doctors and officials followed behind their respective chiefs.
Seeing this scene, Qian Ye's eyes jumped wildly.
The entire power structure of Wuzhou was clearly displayed before his eyes at this moment.
After a while.
Wang Fanglin sat with a solemn expression under the hanging plaque on the mirror, and Qin Ming solemnly put the governor's seal into the seal box.
In an instant, Li Xuan, Qin Ming, as well as many officials present, as well as the heads of wealthy families, saluted Wang Fanglin at the same time: "I have seen the envoy."
"Everyone, please stand up!" Wang Fanglin gently handed over his hands.
However, no one present dared to be rude.
Such a governor who forced all the major families in Wuzhou to use assassination methods was very terrifying in all aspects.
Now that he has returned, not only the Qian family, but also everyone involved in the plot to kill him feels uneasy in their hearts.
Wang Fanglin didn't give everyone time to talk or think, and spoke directly: "This time, we were able to put down the Tianyin Sect rebellion in the state in a way that caused the least damage to the people of this state. Biejia has done a lot of credit. This state has already written to the central government to support Biejia." Please take credit.”
"Thank you so much, envoy!" Li Xuan took a step forward, with a solemn expression on his face, and bowed his hands!
"But there is one thing that needs to be mentioned in this state. Lang Jun still made some mistakes in handling Lanxi's affairs...Lanxi is also a citizen of Wuzhou, so everyone should be treated equally, not treated differently." Wang Fanglin warned with a look on his face. looked at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan immediately responded sincerely: "What the envoy said is true. The incident in Lanxi was indeed caused by the low official's inconsideration. I hope you will forgive me."
"There is no crime. Lang Jun has done his best within the scope of his ability. Benzhou is just checking and filling in the gaps." Wang Fanglin smiled gently.
"Thank you for your advice!" Li Xuan bowed again and retreated into the crowd.
Wang Fanglin's eyes fell on Zhang Yi, and he sighed with emotion: "Thank you for your hard work, Zhang joined the army. The state is recuperating in the mountains, and the King of Nanchang is out on an expedition. During this period, the state affairs are not in chaos, thanks to the hard work of joining the army."
"I don't dare. This is a matter of official rank." Zhang Yi quickly stepped forward and saluted.
In fact, many people cannot see Zhang Yi's contribution.
How could a state's military and political affairs only revolve around the Tianyin Sect?
During these days in Wuzhou, Li Xuan's actions against the Tianyin Sect destroyed many normal affairs in the state.
Nowadays, these things can go without problems, and in turn, they have greatly supported Li Xuan's actions in Wuzhou. Zhang Yi has contributed a lot to this.
At this time, Li Xuan turned sideways neatly, bowed her hands to Zhang Yi, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work in joining the army."
"Don't dare, don't dare." Zhang Yi quickly stood aside, not daring to accept the gift from Li Xuan, the current county king and part-time Shangguan.
Wang Fanglin waved his hand and said: "You two don't have to be like this. In the future, you will have to work with each other, help each other, and tolerate each other."
After saying that, Wang Fanglin's eyes fell on Han Jiang and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Qu Zhang, where is the state's tax and grain collection now?"
"Reporting to the envoy, Jinhua County's tax grain harvest has been completed, Yiwu County has completed half of it, and Wuyi has almost half. The other counties are slightly behind, but generally they are more than ten days faster than in previous years. Only Lanxi and Lanxi It's a little slower, but it's two or three days faster than in previous years." Han Jiang just came back from the Spirit Cave a few days ago, and he has a comprehensive grasp of Lan Xi's data.
Today's Lanxi, although all aspects are controlled by the Tianyin Sect, on the surface it is still the magistrate of Lanxi who has the final say.
Although there were quite a few Tianyin believers below, these people did not rebel in the end.
The only thing that shows something is wrong with Lanxi is that Lanxi's tax grains are never transported to the state capital.
That is to say, Li Xuan started harvesting Lanxi's tax grain from Lingdong to the north some time ago. Otherwise, they would not be able to collect Lanxi's tax grain at all.
"Yes, I understand." Wang Fanglin nodded.
His eyes immediately fell on Du Bixing, a meritorious military officer and military officer: "Mr. Du, although you were recommended by the King of Nanchang as a military officer, the state also approved him. However, there has been a backlog of civil cases recently. You need to focus on this as soon as possible.”
"I obey the order!" Du Bixing saluted respectfully.
Li Xuan stood aside and watched calmly, without any change in his expression.
Du Bixing is the emperor's man, and both Wang Fanglin and Li Xuan know this clearly.
If their predictions are correct, the position of governor of Wu will probably be reserved for Du Bixing in the future.
The two positions of Biejia and Changshi coexist. Once Tianyin becomes the leader, the real power will eventually be transferred to Changshi.
This is why Yu Ze and the others are sure that Li Xuan will not stay in Wuzhou for long.
Moreover, the emperor would not leave Li Xuan's useful knife to rust.
It is precisely because of this that Li Xuan dared to carry out his own governance in a drastic way during this period of time.
There won't be such a good opportunity in the future.
Now that Wang Fanglin is back, all rights will naturally return to Wang Fanglin's hands.
However, the strange thing is that Li Xuan didn't feel unhappy at all.
Qian Zhe, who was standing behind, looked at this scene and felt doubtful in his heart.
What exactly is this for?
