Fenghou

Chapter 489
Although Wang Mi was approved by the left-behind general Yang Yuanqing and stayed in the expensive hotel, he felt that he was being treated coldly.

There were neither officials to visit nor local gentry to curry favor, which was very different from his treatment on Fujian Road.

He just got two pieces of news. One is that the false official Jiang Yanxian, who was previously dismissed by him with the emperor's gold medal, actually ran away.

This made him really annoyed, Lu Zhixian clearly promised to put him under house arrest, but in the end he ran away.This is clearly perfunctory to myself, if it wasn't for Lu Xianggong's sake, I would have dismissed him too.

What kind of magistrate is he who has not passed the appointment of the Ministry of Officials?
What made Wang Mian even more angry was that he used the emperor's gold medal to seal the official office of Jiedushi, because the official office structure was operated without the approval of the court and officials, which is absolutely not allowed.

But just after he got the news, the original team of Jiedu Mansion was transferred to the state school to continue to operate.

It really made him half-dead with anger. The new official took office three fires, and he lit two fires, and the two fires were extinguished. Who will listen to him in the future?

The more he thought about it, the more he was wrong. If Chen Qing dared to talk back to him, it would be fine. Now that even Chen Qing's subordinates don't buy into him, what's the point of him being a supervisor?
"Feng Wu, order the soldiers to go to the state to study!"

He also has more than a hundred soldiers under him, and the leader Feng Wu is one of his two capable generals.

Another capable officer is Su Hui, the leader of the entourage, who is very shrewd and capable.

With more than [-] soldiers, plus the gold medal of "as close as I come", I can still do a lot of great things.

A group of people rushed towards the state school in a mighty manner, and there were still two hundred steps away from the state school, when a thousand soldiers appeared in front of them blocking their way.

Everyone held crossbow arrows and aimed at Wang Mi and his party.

"The state school is a forbidden area, no one is allowed to approach, and those who violate the order will be killed without mercy!"

The caller was Zheng Ping, who took the lead, standing in front of the team with a bow and arrow in his hand.

"Supervisor, that fool who is going to attack the expensive hotel at noon today, is the youngest son of Uncle Zheng's family."

Uncle Zheng Guo has long since passed away yesterday, and he is still self-righteous here.

"Let him go, or find trouble with his father!"

Su Hui urged his horse to meet him, before he could open his mouth, Zheng Pingshuo shot an arrow, which hit Su Hui's horse.The war horse neighed, and immediately fell to the ground dead, throwing Su Hui a foot away.

Zheng Ping said coldly: "This is just a warning, if you dare to get close, I will kill you!"

Wang Mi is really a bit bigheaded, he is not afraid of anything else, but this kind of fool who is not afraid of anything, although he can deal with him afterwards, but if he messes around with him, he will lose all face.

Feng Wu said in a low voice: "This bastard is really shooting arrows. We heroes don't suffer from immediate losses. Let's deal with them later!"

Wang Mi had no choice but to nod and said, "Go back first!"

He had to suffer from being dumb, and returned to the expensive hotel with the soldiers.

Wang Mi then sent Su Hui to inquire about it. He believed that Chen Qing must have more opponents and more clues outside.

. . . . . . . .

Chen Qing received an urgent eagle letter, and the supervising army sent by the emperor had arrived in Chengji County.

Chen Qing immediately interrupted his inspection and led the main force back to Chengji County.

Niu Gao was left with [-] soldiers to continue training the surrendered soldiers, and Xining Prefecture also left Wang Duo with [-] soldiers to garrison.

Chen Qing traveled eastward from Lanzhou all the way, went east to Ganquanbao, and then went south from Ganquanbao to Chengji County.

This morning, Chen Qing led an army of [-] to Ganquan Fort.

He accidentally learned that Jiang Yanxian was in Ganquan Castle.This surprised Chen Qing, and quickly found Jiang Yanxian.

Jiang Yanxian and his wife and children temporarily lived in the former courtyard. He was dressed in a green suit and a gauze hat, looking like a teacher.

"How did Jiedu envoy come to Ganquan Fort?" Jiang Yan asked puzzledly.

"I'm planning to take Baochuan County in Huizhou, so I went to Ganquan Fort specially. Why is Zhizhou here, inspecting Ganquan Fort? Or is there another reason?"

In fact, Chen Qing already guessed seven or eight points, it must have something to do with the new supervisor.

Jiang Yan first looked at his wife in the yard, hesitated to speak, and said with a wry smile: "Why don't we go out for a walk!"

The two walked out of the courtyard gate, climbed up the city wall from the corridor behind, and walked slowly on the top of the city. "Does the Jiedushi know that the supervising army is coming?"

Chen Qing nodded, "I knew there would be such a day, but I didn't expect the imperial court to be so accurate." Jiang Yanxian was silent for a moment and said, "I didn't want to say something. I am also afraid that something big will happen in the future.”

"Just say it!"

"I think the imperial court is aware of our situation, that's why the supervising army came in such a timely manner."

Chen Qing frowned, "You mean the imperial court has placed spies by my side?"

"It doesn't have to be the imperial court, but it is more likely to be the Xuanfu Department of Sichuan and Shaanxi. After all, it is more convenient for them to place spies."

"Do you think that there are generals or civil servants who have been bribed by them?"

Jiang Yan nodded first, "To be honest, I doubt it's Yang Yuanqing."

"Why do you suspect him?" Chen Qing asked quietly.

"The relationship between Yang Yuanqing and Wu Jie is extraordinary. Wu Jie has saved Yang Yuanqing's life. This is what Zheng Ping told me."

"I probably know a little bit, but do you think Yang Yuanqing will betray me?"

"Yang Yuanqing will not betray the Jiedushi, but he is more loyal to the court. Once the Jiedushi shows signs of betraying the court, he will definitely make a choice. At most he will tell Wu Jie about the situation on Xihe Road, but will Wu Jie Tell the Sichuan-Shaanxi Xuanfu Department about the situation on Xihe Road, and I will not know."

"What Mr. said is all guesses, but I don't think you can draw conclusions based on guesses. If you have something to say, just say it."

Jiang Yanxian sighed and said, "Last time Wu Jie wrote a letter, euphemistically persuading Jiedu envoys to put the imperial court first and not to have any unreasonable thoughts. In fact, this letter was written by Yang Yuanqing at the request of Wu Jie."

"and then?"

"Then Yang Yuanqing knew about the arrival of the supervising army in advance, and he arranged for the expensive hotel one day in advance."

Chen Qing walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and asked again: "Is Yang Yuanqing only related to Wu Jie? Or is Yang Yuanqing related to the Xuanfu Department of Sichuan and Shaanxi?"

"I think so far, Yang Yuanqing is only related to Wu Jie, but what I worry about is that once Wu Jie is appointed as the Xuanfu Department of Sichuan and Shanxi, the emperor asks Wu Jie to remove the military power of Jiedushi, and Yang Yuanqing will play a role."

After a pause, Jiang Yanxian said again: "Maybe I'm wrong. Wu Jie has not betrayed the Jiedu envoy, but the Xuanfu Department of Sichuan and Shanxi has set up an intelligence point in Chengji County."

Chen Qing nodded, he recognized this point, Wu Jie is a kind person, and he would never betray himself before he became the Xuanfu envoy of Sichuan and Shanxi.

But what Jiang Yanxian said was right, Wu Jie was more loyal to the imperial court. Once he was appointed as the envoy of Xuanfu of Sichuan and Shaanxi, it would be difficult to say.

"Tell me about yourself, sir! Was it forced by the supervisor?"

Jiang Yanxian nodded, "I have already been dismissed by him. I originally wanted to go back to my hometown, but Mrs. Jiedushi persuaded me to wait, so I listened to her persuasion and hid in Ganquanbao first."

Chen Qing laughed, "Sir, do you think I will still live in harmony with the Supervising Army? The Guangyin Mine case is enough to turn the court upside down."

Jiang Yanxian was startled, "The Jiedu envoy doesn't intend to really rebel, does he?"

Chen Qing shook his head, "As long as the court doesn't overdo it, I will still live in peace with it."

He smiled lightly, "For example, before the supervisor came, didn't I get along well with the court?"

Jiang Yan thought for a while and asked, "How does the Jiedu envoy plan to deal with the supervising army?"

"The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Sometimes it is a disadvantage, but sometimes it is an advantage."

Speaking of this, Chen Qing smiled again and said: "My intuition tells me that this superintendent may not like me, but he definitely likes silver. I will give him a lot of silver and let him be the warehouse manager for me for a few years."
