The local Yamen of Fengri City has already submitted a letter of complaint. It was not only delivered to the Fushi Yamen of Jingxi Town, but also sent to the Secretariat of the Temple. The words were sharp and every word was an accusation. Shen Hao's name was written on it by naming and surnames. , and conveniently wrote a sentence: "If things go on like this, many people will imitate them. If it becomes a big problem in the future, it will be too late to regret it."
Perhaps from the beginning, Fengri City just wanted to teach Shen Hao a lesson so that he could not bear it and walk around in circles. But when the report was handed over, the content inside was rhetorically modified by the superiors.
How could we not make good use of such a good opportunity? Just use it as a weapon to hit Xuan Qingwei. Even if you can't hit him to death, it will still make you uncomfortable. As long as you can force him to retreat a few points, he will gain blood. If he goes back and forth, he will grind the iron pestle into a needle.
However, Pang Ban also knew about the Blackwater Project. After hearing these reports, he made some understanding. Although the people below reacted a bit too much, there was nothing wrong with their behavior as they followed the rules. So when the civil servants attacked him verbally, Pang Ban felt calm.
Anyway, this is a top secret within Xuanqing Guard, and I won’t tell you no matter how loud you are. And recently Pang Ban also discovered a very interesting point, that is, although His Majesty has ignored Xuanqingwei's affairs recently, he has even deliberately distanced himself from contact with Xuanqingwei, as if he is disgusted with Xuanqingwei's pawn. , but looking at it on the other hand, no matter how the civil servant group attacked Xuanqing Guard or complained, His Majesty always responded: Oh, I understand.
If the two don't help each other, will they fend for themselves?
Or is this a test? What are you observing?
Pang Ban's keen sense of smell, which he had honed by wallowing in the dirty mud of the temple for many years, allowed him to discover that there seemed to be a shadow of His Majesty's connivance behind the turmoil.
After realizing this, Pang Ban felt more at ease, and he would no longer be as restless as before.
"Come on, you won't be able to make a fuss anymore soon." Pang Ban looked at the civil servants in the temple who almost jumped in front of him and pointed at their noses and scolded them. He looked at them and looked at them, as if they were in a state of concentration, without any reaction.
Even the civil servants actually enjoyed the fact that they were asking Pang Ban, but Pang Ban honestly didn't refute. He was an advanced monk with unpredictable cultivation. He didn't dare to talk back when he was asked like this. Didn't he feel a great sense of accomplishment?
When the court meeting was over, the bell rang, His Majesty withdrew from the court, and the high-ranking officials in the temple began to return home. Although the civil servants had spoken sharply and scolded Pang Ban just now, they would not get close to the commander of the Xuanqing Guard after the court meeting. They were worried that Pang Ban would find some excuse to slap him on the head and make him unable to take care of himself. Not fun anymore.
Pang Ban still had a smile on his face, and his temperament always gave people a sense of comfort. He nodded and said hello to people in the martial arts department and left the imperial city unhurriedly.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the commander's office, he saw Jiang Cheng who was already waiting at the door but did not go in.
"grown ups."
"Well, let's talk after we go in."
Pang Ban smiled and patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder, then entered the public house first. A man from outside brought in hot tea and a basin of cold water for Pang Ban to wash up.
Jiang Cheng stood obediently in the corner of the public house and waited for Pang Ban to finish cleaning up.
"Do you know why I was pointed at my nose and scolded for almost half an hour in the temple today?"
"This... my subordinates thought it was about Shen Hao from the Black Flag Camp in Fengri City who captured the local government adjutant and the third master of the Song family?" Jiang Cheng came here today for some reason, so he heard When Pang Ban said this, he guessed that the civil servants must be using this to make an attack.
"It's good that you know. Your disciple is a little too aggressive in doing things, and his excuses are really hasty." Pang Ban knew very well that the two unlucky guys from the Song family and the local government office in Fengri City must have been punished by excuses. There is no anger, but it does not mean that the people below can continue to be so wanton, so there is an obvious sense of beating in the words.
"Yes, this kid Shen Hao sometimes doesn't know what's serious. His subordinates will definitely control him strictly." Jiang Cheng helped Shen Hao accept the responsibility without hesitation. Who made Shen Hao his disciple?
"Yes, but don't be too harsh. He is a good seedling. I heard that his talent for cultivation is also very good. If you cultivate him well, he might become a pillar in the future."
"Yes, I must be good at nurturing my subordinates."
"Are you here for something?"
"Sir, the Blackwater Project has started to operate, and some strange things have been discovered. After a little follow-up by the Sealing Sun City, a big problem was discovered."
"Big problem?"
"Yes." Jiang Cheng handed over the file. It not only contains the content reported by Shen Hao himself before, but also the subsequent comparison of the yamen document stubs and the actual number of smuggling ships on the Baijiang River, which can be said to be shocking.
This is the main reason why Jiang Cheng came here today.
Pang Ban took the file and flipped through it quickly. His smiling expression quickly disappeared, replaced by a cold feeling. The whole apartment was like an ice cellar, freezing people's souls. At least Jiang Cheng, who was standing across from him, felt chilled to the bone at this moment.
"You all deserve to die!" A few words popped out from between Pang Ban's teeth. Like Jiang Cheng, although he knew that corruption was widespread in various places, and it was also common in Xuanqing Wei, he did not expect that it had become so serious. This shouldn't even be called corruption, but more appropriately, it should be called capitalizing on the enemy.
"Sir, according to Shen Hao's verification, there were a total of 167 waterway transportation approvals issued by the yamen across Jingxi territory from the beginning of June to July 20th, and another 58 for the military. But in fact, in The number of boat trips on the Baijiang Waterway has reached 151 in just ten days...
Large-scale transactions have always been strictly controlled by the government, but now all the government orders are in vain. Road cards and water gates in various places have completely become tools for making money. As long as the banknotes are in place, goods can circulate freely on the road even without approval. These problems have already caused a prairie fire in Jingxi alone, let alone the whole territory? "
Jiang Cheng was also frightened by the feedback data before. He knew that the data would not lie, and the smuggling in Jingxi had reached a point where there was no need to delay. If something happens to the barbarians in the future, a large number of people related to them in Jingxi will not be able to escape. It is not too late.
"What are your thoughts?" Pang Ban took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart. Now that the problem has been discovered, he should correct it. And isn’t this a fine knife handle?
"My subordinates thought that this matter could be used as the Black Flag Battalion's first joint operation to eliminate smuggling throughout Jingxi."
Pang Ban thought for a moment and nodded: "You come up with a strategy as soon as possible and think about the problem more carefully. I will make a decision after reading it."
"I will come up with a detailed strategy for you to review as soon as possible."
