Early in the morning, someone from the Jingbei Black Flag Camp Yamen hurriedly rushed outside the mansion of Deputy Commander Lin Chen, knocked on the door, and said it was an urgent report.
When I got to Lin Chen, I found two copies of the urgent report. One came from the Black Flag Camp Commandery Office in Fengri City. The copper strip had Lord Shen’s seal on it. The other one was quite unexpected, coming from the Xuanqing Wei Qianhu Office in Jiangan, Jingbei.
Although Lin Chen was surprised to see the copper bars coming from thousands of households in Jiang'an, the note in his hand from the governor's office of Fengri City was obviously more important. So after checking the integrity of the copper bar and the integrity of the seal, he waved away his adjutant, and then unfolded the copper bar.
The word "top secret" at the beginning of the copper strip made Lin Chen straighten his back subconsciously, looked around, and then arranged a covering circle before continuing to look down.
"From now on, we will conduct a secret investigation of the connections between Qin Mu and Qin Haiping in Jingbei. However, no actual contact will be allowed. The main purpose is to clarify their upper and lower relationship context and network. If you are unable to do anything, do not act recklessly. You should do it as soon as possible. Report it to the commanding yamen and let the commanding yamen decide..."
There is only one top-secret content in this entire article: the Qin family.
This made Lin Chen think that a rare expression that should be called a "smile" appeared on his gloomy and ferocious face.
Lin Chen and the Qin family had a feud many years ago. Later, because Qin Haiping took away the position of Qianhu Officer of Jiang'an Qianhu Office that should have belonged to Lin Chen, the conflict between the two parties became even greater. Later, Qin Haiping relied on the support of Qin Mu, the governor's father, to suppress Lin Chen wantonly. If Lin Chen hadn't been careful enough, he would have been tricked to death several times.
So the conflict between the two sides has gradually turned into hatred.
Later, Lin Chen's fortune turned and he was favored by Shen Hao and became the deputy commander of the Jingbei Black Flag Battalion. His official position was the fifth rank, and he was already on an equal footing with Qin Hai. However, his dissatisfaction still did not diminish. On the contrary, it continued to increase. Because Qin Haiping relied on the support of the Qin family and still did not take him as the deputy commander seriously. Even when it came to the materials that had been withheld from the Black Flag Battalion, he promised to return them on the surface but in reality delayed them again and again.
Even the activities of the Black Flag Camp on the border of Jiang'an were often obstructed and even made difficult by Xuanqing Guards.
During the previous internal purge, Lin Chen had been holding back his energy and prepared to make the Qin family look good, but the result was not what he wanted. During the entire purge process, the Qin family had some minor problems at most, and no major problems were found at all. Even if there were reports in the copper cabinet, the results would either be exaggerated or dismissed upon investigation.
Even though Lin Chen gritted his teeth and continued to dig, the result was that he couldn't dig anymore. Moreover, with Qin Mu in charge of the Qin family, Lin Chen couldn't do any dirty tricks, and the purge was delayed until the end. Still couldn't touch the Qin family at all.
This made Lin Chen very depressed, and at the same time, it also made the Qin family understand his hostility, and also paved the way for the normal tit-for-tat confrontation between the Qin family and Lin Chen.
Generally speaking, Lin Chen has always been at a disadvantage. His weakness lies in his shallow foundation and his inability to grasp the pain points of the Qin family. At the same time, a new round of formal missionary operations in remote areas began, which also involved most of his energy, and he could no longer focus as much as during the internal purge.
Lin Chen even felt the pressure from the Qin family's side. What if the Qin family puts pressure on Master Shen? Can Mr. Shen withstand the pressure? Or should he give up Lin Chen as a chess piece for the sake of the overall situation?
Lin Chen's anxiety was relieved when he got the top-secret copper bar in his hand. Master Shen not only did not disrespect the Qin family, he even had murderous intentions towards the Qin family.
The meaning of this top-secret copper note was very clear, that is, Lin Chen should keep an eye on the Qin family and get to know the details of the Qin family. However, he also warned repeatedly that this time it was not the Jingbei Black Flag Camp that was the main force, but the Jingbei side. It acts as an eye instead of a hand, so it cannot act without authorization and cannot have substantial contact with the Qin family.
"Let's see how you die!" Lin Chen also had murderous intent in his heart. He doesn't mind whether he can play an important role in it, he only cares about the death of the Qin family, and it doesn't matter whose hands he dies in.
Lin Chen admired and convinced Commander Shen very much. Facts one after another proved that Master Shen's means and mind were incomparable to ordinary people. And its potential is definitely more than what's in front of you, which can be seen from the frightening scenes at Commander Shen's wedding.
He felt as if a big stone was missing. Being targeted by Commander Shen, Lin Chen didn't think the Qin family would have a good life for a few more days.
Then he remembered that he still had a copy of the copper bar from Jiang'an Xuanqingwei Qianhu in his hand. Lin Chen thought about it and felt that this copper bar might not be simple either.
After unfolding it, Lin Chen's "smile" became even brighter, even with a strong sense of irony and joking.
The content on the copper strip is simple, not even a lot of nonsense. It can be summed up in one sentence: Come and get the part of the supplies that were owed before.
In fact, looking at the whole of Jingbei, there are not many arrears. Only Jiang'an Black Flag Camp is in arrears, which is the jurisdiction where Qin Haiping is currently serving as the Xuanqing Guard Qianhu, and where Lin Chen worked before.
I think it was this arrears of supplies that made Lin Chen, who was still a hundred households in Black Flag Camp at the time, very miserable. The high-ranking leader of Shangshen Commandery may be replaced by an excuse and killed.
Now the two copper bars come together. For Lin Chen, who first read the top-secret order of the commanding yamen, now looking at the copper bar from Jiang'an Qianhu Office seemed particularly interesting and ironic.
"It seems that the Qin family also feels uneasy? Or is there some news leaked from the adults?" Lin Chen muttered in his heart and looked at the copper bar in his hand carefully again. As a result, he made some new discoveries.
Like...a reluctant tone?
This is fun.
Lin Chen pulled out two brand-new copper bars from the side, then replied to the order from the commanding yamen and sent them away.
After that, he sent a reply to Jiang'an Xuanqing Guard Qianhu Station, to the effect that he was busy with official duties and could not come to collect it. He also asked Qianhu Station to send the owed materials directly to Jiang'an Black Flag Camp.
Qin Haiping took the initiative to return the owed materials, which could definitely be called "submission", and it was definitely contrary to the Qin family's previous attitude.
Abnormal, then there is a reason for abnormality. Lin Chen felt that he could boldly test this point. If Jiang'an Qianhu Station stops returning supplies again after this reply, it means that the Qin family's "fear" is limited. If Yiyan delivers the goods to their door, it means that the Qin family is really prepared to be cowardly for a while, and would rather lose face than continue to fight with the Black Flag Camp.
In the afternoon after Lin Chen's reply came out, he received a report from hundreds of households in Jiang'an Black Flag Camp, saying that Jiang'an Xuanqing Guard's Thousand Households had delivered all the previously withheld supplies to their residence just before a stick of incense. door. He unloaded the goods and left without saying a word. The hundreds of households in Black Flag Camp were confused, and while they were happy, they also felt a little uneasy.
