The news of King Shou's visit to Fengri City soon spread throughout the jurisdiction, and many people wanted to invite His Highness King Shou to visit their lands and show their faces.
Xie Youlin is fully responsible for King Shou's next itinerary in Fengri City.
First I went to Tukui City to see the most famous "fields" there. I stood on the ridge and looked around. All I could see were the lush green rice fields growing gratifyingly. I felt a sense of déjà vu. Feeling at ease.
After that, we also visited the other three important towns, including mines and pig iron mills. Every time he went to a place, he would be very accommodating and accept banquets from local gentry or local officials. Every time it was a big occasion, basically anyone who was qualified could come over to the banquet and see the amiable His Highness Prince Shou from a distance.
Shen Hao also followed the whole process. Although he didn't really want to come, he couldn't shirk the important responsibility of protecting the prince.
Especially in the Tukui City area, in the past month, the local government office and the Baihu Health Office have sent reports saying that there are signs of evil spirits roaming the outskirts of the city. Don't even dare to be careless.
Naturally, the rumors outside in the past few days could not escape Shen Hao's ears, and he was also shocked by the news revealed by Yang Lin.
It is not surprising that an official in a local government office like Xie Youlin would lean against anyone. If you are a local official without a backer, you will definitely not be able to cross the boundary of a fifth-grade official. Moreover, Xie Youlin's career path is clear and can be revealed at a glance. It is reasonable to take the initiative to rely on King Shou now, because Xie Youlin has no choice.
But it was completely unexpected that Wu Changhe was also in the pocket of King Shou.
You must know that although the Xuanqing Guards are not a military force, they belong to the emperor's direct line and are the emperor's personal soldiers. Now, such an important place as the Qianhu Office in Fengri City is actually handed over to a person who is a member of the Shou King Guards. What is the reason? ?
Moreover, Shen Hao remembered clearly that Wu Changhe parachuted down directly from the commander's office. In other words, Wu Changhe's appointment must have been approved by the commander Pang Pang.
Isn’t Panda famous for being a neutral faction? Why suddenly...
Shen Hao was a little confused about the situation. He had only heard about Pang Ban, the top leader of the Xuanqing Guard, and was not sure whether this was a deliberate signal from Pang Ban to take sides, or whether there was another hidden reason behind Wu Changhe's appointment.
After following him for four days, Shou Wang had already visited the surrounding area of Fengri City. I thought it was time to go back next, right? As a result, it wasn't over yet, and he actually started to get into the yamen. Not only the local yamen, but also the Shou Wang of the Xuanqing Guards in each city went to sit and chat with some front-line soldiers.
Is this a step too far?
In the past, wandering around could be called "touring", but the standards were higher, and there were more people accompanying me. If I turned a blind eye, I could just treat it as a prince's wanderlust and just go out for a tour.
But it's not appropriate to go into the Yamen to inquire about government affairs, isn't it?
This cannot be explained by "touring". Isn't this the "visit" that Wu Changhe mentioned before?
Shen Hao couldn't help but be astonished that this longevity king was really courageous. Aren't you afraid that the central government officials will impeach him and turn him into a sieve? Aren't you afraid of being rejected by His Majesty and losing all opportunities due to inappropriate behavior?
I really can't figure it out. Shen Hao can only restrain the people in the Black Flag Camp not to get close to King Shou, but he can't control others. Especially those with simple ideas fell over when they saw Wu Changhe, the official of Qianhu, already standing next to Yang Lin, making Shen Hao sweat for them.
When they arrived at the yamen of Pingshun City, the focus of King Shou's political inquiry was naturally on the concealment of the plague that had happened here not long ago. Fortunately, the then chief officer of Pingshun City and a series of related personnel are all dead now, otherwise they would really have no face to see anyone. The current chief officer was appointed by Xie Youlin. He followed Xie Youlin both emotionally and rationally, and completely treated the arrival of King Shou as a "visit".
"By the way, I heard that the plague was discovered by Xuanqing Guards and stopped in time, but Wu Qianhu was very aware of the situation and took precautions."
"Your Highness is very complimentary. I am just doing my duty." Wu Changhe smiled implicitly. The plague case really made him shine in the country. Everyone knows his name Wu Changhe when talking about him.
"Now that the conversation has ended, I would like to hear about the great achievements of your Xuanqing Guards. Come on, tell me about it from beginning to end."
A group of people gathered around. Seeing that Yang Lin was talking happily, they didn't dare to disturb him, and they all praised Wu Changhe. Wu Changhe did not refuse. Although he did not handle the case, he had read the files carefully and he knew the specific investigation process very well.
However, when introducing the detailed situation and investigation process, there is absolutely no way around the Black Flag Camp. The inability to bypass the Black Flag Camp also means that there is no way around Shen Hao, a subordinate who left Wu Changhe speechless.
"So the person in charge of the front-line investigation is Shen Hao, the official of Baihu in Fengli City's Black Flag Camp? Haha, there are indeed many talents under Wu Qianhu's command. I like talents the most, so is Shen Baihu close by?"
"Yes, Shen Hao has been leading the elites of the Black Flag Battalion in the past few days to guard the safety of His Highness."
"Call him over."
Although Shen Hao's reputation is not well-known to everyone in Jingxi, at least everyone in the establishment has heard of him. After all, he is a celebrity in Xuanqingwei who has been in the official newspaper several times. This was especially shocking to the officials in Pingshun City. If it hadn't been for Shen Hao, they wouldn't have been killed in such numbers.
After receiving the order, Shen Hao hurried over.
"Shen Hao, the official of the Hundred Households of the Black Flag Camp in Richeng City, is here to meet His Royal Highness King Shou!" He bowed and saluted in a formal manner, and then stood aside with his hands tied, his head slightly lowered, and his eyes full of doubts: "Look for me." what?
"No courtesy. Shen Baihu sat down and said."
Shen Hao sat at the end as he was told. He raised his head and found that His Royal Highness the Shou King in front of him had a gentle smile, his eyes were also very gentle, and his aura seemed very peaceful, which made him feel relaxed for a moment.
But the next moment, Shen Hao became wary.
"Thank you for the seat, Your Highness!" Shen Hao's performance was biased towards the tough style of the military, which was tainted by the atmosphere of the Xuanqing Guard.
He answered respectfully, but secretly Shen Hao quickly used the soul-suppressing technique to stabilize his consciousness first. The aura that overflowed from King Shou across from him just now could easily affect his senses, making him feel alarmed. This was his keen sense of smell after practicing the soul-suppressing technique.
Sure enough, after the soul-suppressing technique was activated, Shen Hao no longer felt the slightest bit of "peace and gentleness" from King Shou, especially the eyes of King Shou, which were actually terrifyingly cold.
"I just heard Wu Qianhu mention that Shen Baihu led the Black Flag Battalion in Fengli City and made many achievements. He is a rare talent. I wanted to meet you on a whim. I didn't expect Shen Baihu to be so young. Young hero! Hahaha..."
