From eunuch to emperor

Feng He chuckled and said, "Sir, I definitely didn't expect it, and I didn't expect them to be so courageous."

Long Chen asked: "How to say?"

Feng He said: "My lord, everyone I saw at the Governor's Mansion tonight is a pirate."

Zhang Qian was surprised: "How is it possible! All the officials in the Governor's Mansion of a county are pirates?"

Long Chen felt more and more interesting, they were all thieves.

Long Chen asked: "Since they are all pirates, why did Chen Zu go up and ask the imperial court to send troops to quell the pirates? Deliberately leading us here?"

Feng He said: "This is the interesting part."

"Chen Zu, the governor, came to office three years ago. When he came, all the officials in Qianjiang County, including the cook, were already pirates."

Zhang Qian said in shock: "Then he is not in the mouth of a sheep?"

Feng He laughed and said: "That's right, it's just that the sheep go into the tiger's mouth, and everyone in the governor's mansion lied to him. Chen Zu didn't even know that there were pirates in this place."

"Just a while ago, Zhenhai County was breached, and some people from Zhenhai were exiled to Qianjiang County. When Chen Zu saw it, he knew that the situation was wrong, so he asked the court to send troops."

"After sending out the watch list, Chen Zu was killed, and now Chen Zu is a stand-in."

In this way, the whole thing can be explained.

They cheated and concealed it together for three years. Under their surveillance, Chen Zu could imitate every move.

Also, Wu Wenjing, the servant of the Criminal Ministry, may not have lied. When he arrived in Qianjiang County, Chen Zu told him that there were no pirates. Wu Wenjing believed it and reported to the empress that everything was safe.

After Wu Wenjing was arrested, he was beaten into a trick in the prison and raped Shangshu Hu Chengfu.

Zhang Qian felt hairy all over, that is to say, they were drinking with a group of pirates just now, surrounded by enemies.

"My lord, I can't go to Qianjiang County anymore, and I absolutely can't enter the city again."

Long Chen didn't answer, but quietly thought about how to break the situation.

To put down the pirates, we must first solve the internal problems. If Qianjiang County can't take it down, we can't talk about other things.

"My lord, there is one more thing."

"People from the Imperial City Division have arrived. I met the chief detainee, Hou Ping, today."

Feng He's voice suddenly turned cold.

Long Chen and Feng He are both from Nanliang, and Huang Chengsi is Li Chengdao's minion, they are very clear.

Hou Ping is the formidable leader of the Imperial City Division. His cultivation is at the peak of the king, and he is best at concealed weapons and poisoning.

"Hou Ping has arrived, which means that the elite of the Imperial City Division has also arrived, so fast."

Long Chen was secretly surprised, he didn't expect Li Chengdao to be so anxious to kill him.

Zhang Qian had heard of the Imperial City Division, just like the shadow guards of the Great Zhou, a spy force founded by the emperor.

"My lord, the pirates and the people from the Imperial City Department are here. We are not opponents. Let's ask the court for help."

Fearing that something might happen to Long Chen, Zhang Qian chose to ask the Empress for help, this is the safest way.

Long Chen shook his head and said: "No, the imperial court's troops are tense right now, I have to solve it myself."

The empress must have expected these situations, she was giving Long Chen the test questions.

Zhang Qian said anxiously: "But the forces on both sides of them are too strong, and there are not enough people like us."

Feng He laughed and said: "General Zhang said both sides? The hidden guards of the General's Mansion have also arrived. I didn't see Wuming, but I guess Wuming should have arrived."

Zhang Qian was stunned, she knew that Wuming was the leader of Jing Tianlie's secret guards, and his cultivation was in the realm of Emperor Wu.

"This... how about this?"

Zhang Qian panicked this time.

Long Chen stood by the river, looking at the dark river water, the fluorescence in the water appeared and disappeared.

The three forces gathered in Qianjiang County, the purpose of the secret guards and the Imperial City Secretary was to kill Long Chen, it seemed that the Haikou wanted to hide it, and did not intend to tear themselves apart with the court.

If you want to break the game, you can only start from...

"Can you find out the secret guards and the people from the Imperial City Division?"

Long Chen asked Feng He.

Feng He said with a smile: "My lord, I am not good at cultivation, I am good at finding someone, give me two days, at least [-]% of them can be found."

Long Chen said: "Eighty percent is enough."

Feng He turned around and disappeared into the night.

Zhang Qian asked: "I suggest seeking assistance from the imperial court. You can't take any risks. If something goes wrong with you, how can I explain to the princess?"

Long Chen said with a smile: "The mountain people have their own tricks."

Zhang Qian knew that Long Chen was full of tricks, seeing how confident he was, she stopped insisting.

Back in the military tent, Long Chen called Dugu Jiali over and said, "Send dozens of people out to grab things in the surrounding villages and towns."

Dugu Jiali was taken aback, and asked, "My lord wants me to... grab things?"

She thought she had heard it wrong.

Long Chen's tone was firm, and he said word by word: "That's right, I let you rob things, but you are not allowed to kill people!"

Dugu Jiali asked, "Why?"

Long Chen said with a smile: "You just go, you have to remember where you robbed, I will compensate when the time comes."

Dugu Jiali couldn't figure out why, but she could only carry out Long Chen's orders.

He ordered 30 people and asked them to ride horses overnight to raid surrounding villages and towns.

...

Inside Qianjiang City.

Chen Zu and a group of officials sent Long Chen out of the city gate, when he returned to the Governor's Mansion, there were three people sitting in the hall, Xu Zhi was in the middle, and two middle-aged men beside him.

The man on the left with long beard and ape arms is Yuan Tengfei; the man on the right is very stocky and is Wang Zhong.

The three of them are the real masters of Qianjiang County.

When Chen Zu saw the three of them, he rolled up his sleeves, cupped his hands and shouted: "Greetings, Grandpa Sanzu."

The three Xu Zhi are known as the three ancestors of Qianjiang, Xu Zhi ranked first, Yuan Tengfei ranked second, and Wang Zhong ranked third.

The officials behind him also rolled up their sleeves and shouted, "Greetings, Grandpa Third."

These people don't have the etiquette of officials, they just look reckless.

"Why didn't Long Chengen stay?"

Xu Zhi asked coldly.

Chen Zu immediately replied respectfully: "Grandfather, Long Chengen insisted on spending the night outside the city. I was afraid that he would become suspicious, so I let him go."

Xu Zhi turned his head and asked the bald man next to him, who was Xu Zhi's dog-headed military adviser: "Master Fayin, what do you think?"

This bald head was originally a teacher, but later he became a monk, and he didn't recite the scriptures well, so he followed Xu Zhi to make suggestions and gave himself a dharma name.

"I saw it just now, this Long Cheng'en is very powerful, I don't know his details."

"He asked how many pirates there were. We said 10, and he believed it, which means he didn't understand the situation."

"But he asked the Wu family in Zhenhai again, maybe he knew something."

"So, I think we'll see what he wants to do."

Fa Yin rubbed his fat neck, rubbing out a layer of dirt.

Song Tongyang, the governor of the county, yelled: "Master Fayin, it's better to kill him with one knife, just like killing Chen Zu."

Xu Zhi scolded: "He is an imperial envoy, if we kill him, we will be exposed."

Yuan Tengfei said: "I didn't see anything unusual at the banquet tonight, and Long Chengen didn't suspect us, so I think we'll have another look."

Wang Zhong pointed at Song Tongyang's gang and cursed: "Fuck me, wake up, don't show your flaws, whoever messed up with me, I'll kill whoever!"

At this time, a person ran in outside and shouted: "Grandpa Sanzu, something happened!"
