The purge within the Black Flag Camp was like a gust of wind, coming without warning and leaving without any ripples.
The only people who were panic-stricken were the limited number of people in Pingshun City, such as the three small flag officers who were closely related to Zhao Tianyang. They were all taken to the dungeon and detained in the same remote location as Zhao Tianyang.
Apart from this, there were no personnel changes in the remaining three Xuanqing Guards' offices, and there was no news about the locality or nobles.
"It seems that the newly appointed Hundred Household Officer of Black Flag Camp is not a stupid young man who doesn't understand anything." This is the common mentality of the people who were worried before, and they feel a lot more at ease.
Of course, there are also those who are unhappy, and that is the Baihu officials in charge of the various health offices, and Wu Changhe, the Qianhu official. Among them, the hundred households in Pingshun City were the most irritated. Chen Tianwen, who had not been inspected before, sent Tiezi Ke to the Qianhu Office three times to complain to Wu Changhe, saying that Shen Hao was so domineering that he even arrested one of his subordinates. He didn't even say hello, he simply didn't treat him as a human being.
As mentioned before, Wu Changhe and the hundreds of households in the guards below are natural allies in the matter of Black Flag Camp, so the dissatisfaction with Shen Hao also lingers in Wu Changhe's heart.
When Shen Hao placed the completed internal files on Wu Changhe's table, Wu Changhe asked for the fifth time about the appointment of the general flag of the Black Flag Camp in Pingshun City, with a bad tone.
"It's your arrangement, my subordinates have no objection to it."
"Oh? Shen Baihu doesn't have a suitable candidate?"
"My lord's sharp eyes are far beyond the comparison of my subordinates. The candidate for the general banner of Pingshun City's Black Flag Battalion is still chosen by my lord."
To Wu Changhe's surprise, he thought that Shen Hao deliberately delayed for so many days in order to win the appointment and removal of hundreds of households in the Black Flag Camp of Pingshun City, but now it seems that is not the case.
"Okay then, I will handle it as appropriate."
"Then my subordinate resigns."
"Um."
After coming out of Wu Changhe's apartment, Shen Hao felt calm and everything was on track. Currently, three of the four general banners of Black Flag Camp are from his side, so what's the harm in leaving one for Wu Changhe? If you can't make waves and can ease the tension with Wu Changhe, why not?
The purpose is not to fight, fighting is just a means. The goal is to get the authority you need.
Shen Hao went back to his mansion, then took out the original file of the previous internal purge and went out. He was going to go to the imperial city. After the staged progress was completed, he needed to tell his superiors in person. Then take the next step.
But as soon as he went out, he was stopped by Wang Yiming who had returned to Qianhu Station.
"Sir, there is news about the storage bag that you have been paying attention to before. In the next issue of the Fengri City Auction House, there will be a five-foot-square storage bag up for auction. If you need it, I can ask the auction house to contact the seller privately. trade."
"Okay, let's contact him first to see the other party's quotation. I'll trouble you." For personal matters, Shen Hao still wanted to say thank you.
"Sir, you don't have to be rude. Are you going out?"
"Well, let's go to the Imperial City. You can be busy, you don't have to follow me."
Taking two guards with him, Shen Hao was already familiar with the way to the imperial city. After leaving the teleportation circle, there were several large horse and carriage shops nearby. I rented a carriage and went to Jingxi Town Fu Shi Yamen.
Just like last time, there was a long line of carriages parked at the door, many of which had high-profile backgrounds. Of course, there were also many rental carriages like Shen Hao's. After passing the gate, the tea room inside was also crowded, and all the people sitting were officials. Shen Hao, dressed in a brocade robe from a hundred households, was an inconspicuous little player here.
As usual, Shen Hao went to see Jiang Cheng first. When he saw Jiang Cheng, it was almost time to leave for work in the afternoon, and he had to wait for most of the day.
"I forgot to tell the concierge last time. Next time you have something to do, I will take care of the people below and let you in directly." Jiang Cheng saw that Shen Hao was in a good mood, so he remembered the waiting time outside and gave him a convenience. After all, it's hard to find such a capable disciple.
"Thank you for your understanding." Shen Hao was really tired of waiting outside, so he probably wouldn't need it next time. Then he took out the file he brought and sent it to Jiang Cheng's desk: "This is the new progress of my subordinates so far."
"Oh? I heard before that Wu Changhe was stumbling upon you, but it was resolved so quickly?"
"Yes, sir, some minor issues have been taken care of." Shen Hao was not at all curious about why Jiang Cheng knew about Wu Changhe's troubles with him. Just kidding, how long have you been the chief officer in Fengli City? Isn't it easy to know what news?
Jiang Cheng read the dossier at a glance, and read the later parts more carefully. He closed the file, raised his head and said with a smile: "Wu Changhe used to have a good reputation, saying he was talented and capable, but now he seems to be just average, and I don't know who was bragging about it. Forget it. You can handle it this way. Although it's a bit gentle, it's not without its benefits. At least you can save some face so that they won't come back to hold you back in the future.
However, is the flying dragon you arranged really reliable? This thing doesn't seem like a big deal now, but it will be a big deal once it is rolled out according to your ideas in the future. Is he capable of it? "
"Don't worry, sir. Although Feilong is a bad person, he is very aware of current affairs. Although his thoughts are mixed, he still knows what is good and what is good. As long as there are enough benefits and deterrence, he will not have second thoughts. Moreover, when the stall is opened in the future, we still need to go inside. With more manpower, the flying dragon will not be able to cover the sky with one hand."
Jiang Cheng didn't comment when he heard the words, and just said: "You can take care of yourself, and nothing will go wrong."
"My subordinate understands."
"Also. In terms of funds, you are now keeping your own pocket. This is not good. Firstly, there is no argument that the public is taking advantage of your private life. Secondly, it is a business matter, so it is better to separate it. I will notify you later on the accounts. You make up for it, I guess you don’t want the money, so I’ll give you some pills, how about that?”
Shen Hao knew that Jiang Cheng was giving him a reward in disguise, so he quickly bowed and thanked him. He has no shortage of money, and the more elixirs he has, the better.
"Besides, the matter with Feilong is only one aspect. Have you started preparing for the other aspect?"
"My subordinates haven't started preparations yet. Mainly they are still looking for a suitable breakthrough."
"Ya Xing. You can contact the people at Ya Xing. I can help you calm down the situation if necessary."
"Yes, my subordinates will implement it as soon as possible."
Shen Hao had something in his mind but didn't dare to say it. The first step of his plan was still on Feilong. The second step needed to be carried out by Feilong before he could start preparations. But Jiang Cheng seemed impatient to wait.
Since the order was given directly from above, Shen Hao did not dare to delay. Then he went to find Xue Houxuan at the last minute, and also told him about the progress. In the other party's perfunctory words, Shen Hao said goodbye and hurriedly returned to Fengri City.
PS: Happy National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone!
