Fix Smile Order

Chapter 51: The Devised Plan (1)

The imperial envoy felt that since he had all come here, it was necessary to make a surprise inspection of the daily work of the Tongling magistrate.

Of course, as a noble and mysterious imperial envoy, he must act in a low-key manner, and did not bring too many people to accompany him.

In fact, there were not many people willing to accompany them. Official Sun and Official Qi were fully prepared. They were ready to retreat as soon as the imperial envoy gave an order. Qi Ruiyin, who had previously boasted about having slept with Tang Tianyuan in the same bed, now had only one word in his head: flee.

As for Zhou Zhengdao, he was thinking about how to inform the prefect.

If you can read this, it means this chapter was stolen from p uretl . com

The only one who was not in a rush to leave was Tan Lingyin, who currently had a drooling face.

Handsome, well read, good in martial arts, and full of a sense of justice; he was simply a heartthrob. Compared to this imperial envoy, the county magistrate who only talked money, it was a no brainer.

Tan Lingyin had some admiration for the legendary Tang Tianyuan, but now that she saw the person in flesh, she was ready to become his lackey.

Tang Tianyuan couldn't stand it any longer. He felt that Tan Lingyin was ready to take out a rope and tie it around his neck, and then hand the end of the rope to Zheng Shaofeng.

That's right, the real name of this fake imperial envoy was Zheng Shaofeng. He’s the third son of the former chief minister of the cabinet. Previously, with the help of Tang Tianyuan, he barely managed to pass the imperial provincial examination and received the title of ‘Juren’. It was insufferable for him to achieve a higher title.

In the eyes of a scholar like Tang Tianyuan, Juren can only be regarded as the stage of breaking away from illiteracy. Naturally, the value of a person cannot be determined by the level of knowledge. For example, Zheng Shaofeng was not good at studying, but he was very talented in martial arts. Tang Tianyuan felt that even three of him might not be able to beat a single Zheng Shaofeng.

Therefore, Zheng Shaofeng did not force himself to continue the exam, but joined the army with the halo of a Juren. He stayed at the borders for a few years, and fought some wars—in fact, he specialized in robbing the Mongolian bandits who were intruding on the border. He’s killed people—the bandits were disobedient and could only be cut down. He’s also chased some girls in his spare time—but to no success... In short, he had a very fulfilling life. Later, he became frustrated in the affairs of love and satisfied with his deeds in the battlefield. The harassment made the Mongolian bandits lament that the surname Zheng was too shameless. It was not easy to earn military merit in times of peace. The emperor was very generous, bestowed him as third rank Huaiyuan General, and was then promoted to Dingyuan General.

To achieve this while still in his twenties was a considerable feat.

After returning to his hometown, Zheng Shaofeng came out of the shadow of lovelorn, and gradually became a little restless. The emperor was afraid that he would be lonely, so he sent him south and gave him command of Anqing’s military base as a Sub-Commander.

What did this mean?

One only needed to open the map and see that Anqing was roughly 100 kilometers southwest of Tongling County. It was very convenient to travel between the two places, whether by land or water. Tang Tianyuan could ask and Zheng Shaofeng could row downstream in a boat and come down to play with him.

So what about an expedited trip? If one went at full speed, the fast could arrive on the same day.

In short, this nail was firmly and ruthlessly wedged.

Anqing was a major military crossroad, and the garrison here was of superior quality. Moreover, between Anqing’s military base and Tongling County, was a Chizhou prefecture government office. Under normal circumstances, the military system and the administrative system were independent of each other, and the two sides tried not to interfere with each other. Of course, occasional minor conflicts were inevitable.

This meant if the prefect of Chizhou was disobedient, Zheng Shaofeng reach his hands east and ** him.

Naturally, the above was only the most ideal. As to how to achieve this, it depended on their respective means.

In fact, Zheng Shaofeng was not very satisfied with this arrangement. The Sub-Commander had a Commander above him. He didn't understand why the emperor didn't directly make him the Commander? It would be easier to issue orders that way and he could flick with whoever he wanted within a radius of one-hundred-fifty kilometers.

The emperor was so angry that he hit his head with a memorial, "Do you want the whole world to know your purpose? Low-key! Low-key, do you understand!"

Zheng Shaofeng listened to the emperor's kind teaching and came in a low-key manner. Before he arrived, he wrote a letter to Tang Tianyuan, reminding him to greet his brothers well. Tang Tianyuan was planning a play, and happened to lack an extra. It was truly perfect timing!

The military system and the administrative system were independent of each other anyways. Zheng Shaofeng's small appearance in Tongling County would not affect his continued work in Anqing. So they were able to settle this matter happily.
