From eunuch to emperor

In the morning, Long Chen came out of the military tent, stretched his waist, and saw Bai Tingting kicking her legs back and forth while being hung on the tree.

"Is Bai Daxia still used to hanging on the tree?"

Long Chen walked under the tree, feeling that this Bai Tingting was in pretty good shape.

It is said that her old mother, Bai Qiulian, was a famous beauty all over the capital when she was young, but she later married Li Junjun for unknown reasons.

Bai Tingting made a humming sound.

Long Chen pulled out the thing in her mouth, Bai Tingting yelled: "My old lady needs to urinate!"

Long Chen said with a smile: "People have three urgencies, let's say it earlier."

Bai Tingting scolded: "My mother's mouth is blocked, what should I say!"

Long Chen put down the rope, held the rope with one hand, and kicked Bai Tingting's ass: "Go, I will take you to have a pee!"

Bai Tingting became anxious, and said: "You are shameless, I will explain it to you, why are you following me!"

Long Chen laughed and said: "I won't follow, what if you run away?"

Bai Tingting was unwilling, and cursed: "Shameless eunuch, you are obscene!"

Zhang Qian came out when she heard the movement and asked what was going on.

Bai Tingting said to Zhang Qian: "I want to urinate, he wants to follow, he is shameless, he is obscene!"

Zhang Qian snorted coldly and said, "It's good that my lord is willing to accompany you, and dare to scold my lord, believe it or not, let you pee in your crotch."

Bai Tingting was frightened, and angrily walked towards the river, Long Chen threw the rope to Zhang Qian, he was too lazy to watch Bai Tingting relieve herself.

"Aren't adults like these the most?"

Zhang Qian thought that Long Chen would observe it in person to see if Bai Tingting got angry.

Long Chen said: "Don't talk nonsense, I am a decent person."

Bai Tingting pulled the rope in front and shouted: "I want to pee, hurry up!"

Zhang Qian took Bai Tingting to the river by herself.

Wu Jian came out of the tent and said, "My lord, are you going to the city today?"

The assassination of the Imperial City Secretary happened yesterday, Wu Jian was worried that Long Chen would be in danger if he entered the city.

Long Chen said: "Of course, what are you afraid of?"

Wu Jian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go prepare."

Wu Jian went back and summoned thirteen Xiaoqi guards, and asked all of them to cheer up in case something changed on the way.

Not long after, Zhang Qian brought Bai Tingting back.

"My lord, how will she deal with it?"

Long Chen glanced at the unconvinced Bai Tingting, pointed to the tree next to him, and said, "Continue!"

Zhang Qian quickly hung up Bai Tingting who was cursing, and then gagged her mouth.

"Let's go into the city."

Long Chen took everyone on horseback and went to Qianjiang County.

When I got outside the city, I saw Sima Dou Yufei coming to greet him with soldiers and horses.

"Master Long, the governor ordered the younger one to greet him, and asked the younger one to report to the lord that the third grandfather has already agreed and is waiting at the governor's mansion."

A greedy look appeared on Long Chen's face, and he said with a smile: "That's right, it's easy to discuss, let's go, and meet the local sages."

Zhang Qian and Wu Jian also showed joy on their faces.

Dou Yufei led the way, Long Chen entered the west city gate, and the street was still lively.

Long Chen said suddenly: "I'm hungry, let's eat something to fill my belly."

Dou Yufei immediately said: "My lord, breakfast is prepared in the yamen, and there is absolutely no seafood."

Long Chen ignored it, got off the horse by himself, and called everyone to eat together.

The stall owner was overjoyed, this is a big customer, and immediately served wontons, noodles, and rice porridge as ordered.

A young man came over with a bowl of wontons, gently placed it in front of Long Chen, and said in a low voice: "Guest officer, take it easy."

Long Chen saw a note pressed on the bottom of the bowl, and glanced at the young man, the young man smiled and left, and went to work again.

Dou Yufei waited patiently on the street.

After Long Chen finished eating the wontons, he got on his horse and went to the Governor's Mansion.

Dou Yufei followed behind, feeling strange in his heart, why did Long Chen still doubt the food in the Governor's Mansion?

After entering the Governor's Mansion, Chen Zu greeted him outside, Xu Zhi, Yuan Tengfei, and Wang Zhong got up immediately, and other officials of the Governor's Mansion stood behind.

"Master Dragon."

Everyone respectfully saluted Long Chen.

Long Chen pointed at the three of Xu Zhi and said with a smile: "The three must be the third grandpa of Qianjiang County. It's a pleasure to meet you."

The three of them laughed and replied: "It's all rumors, we are just ordinary people in Qianjiang County, what are the third and fourth grandfathers."

Long Chen sat at the front seat, Zhang Qian and Wu Jian stood beside him as guards.

Governor Chen Zu introduced one by one: "This is Xu Zhi and Xu Yuanwai, this is Yuan Tengfei Yuanwai, and this is Wang Zhongwang Yuanwai."

Long Chen looked at the three of them carefully, and said with a smile: "Chen Inspector should have told the three of them, so I won't talk too much anymore."

"The Holy Majesty ordered me to come here to wipe out the pirates, but he didn't give me money and food for soldiers and horses. He asked me to recruit troops on the spot to raise money. The three are the leaders of Qianjiang County. I hope you can help me."

The three of Xu Zhi were also looking at Long Chen, wondering if they could get things done by giving him money.

"My lord said that, as the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, we should contribute to the imperial court."

"It's just that we have some concerns, that is, after we pay the money, will the imperial court allow us to live in Qianjiang County?"

Xu Zhi is the most powerful and eloquent of the three of them, so he is the one who speaks.

Long Chen glanced at Xu Zhi, and said with a sneer: "Mr. Xu means that I am afraid that I will not be able to keep you safe if I take your money?"

Xu Zhi laughed and said: "How dare you dare, Mr. Long is well-known in the court, and he has made military exploits, shocking the enemy's country, how dare you doubt it."

Long Chen sneered and said: "I have been here for a few days, I heard that there are people from all over Qianjiang County colluding with pirates, especially the three of you."

hiss...

The air suddenly froze, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. No one expected that Long Chen would speak so directly. Is this a showdown?

Seeing the astonishment on everyone's faces, Long Chen eased his tone again, smiled and said: "Of course, these are all rumors, I think Qianjiang County is very good, and the three are good citizens."

"Don't worry, if I take the money, I will recruit soldiers to put down the pirates. Qianjiang County is a peaceful and prosperous place. No one in the court will dare to say that there are pirates here."

The three of Xu Zhi understood in their hearts that what Long Chen said just now was hitting them.

Long Chen already knew some things, but he didn't intend to pierce the window paper, he just wanted to take the opportunity to ask for bribes.

"My lord, there are no pirates here."

Xu Zhi laughed, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He thought Long Chen was about to show his cards just now, and he was already planning to kill Long Chen to silence him.

Yuan Tengfei said in embarrassment: "We are all good citizens. We will definitely implement the orders of the court, but we can't afford so much money at once."

Wang Zhong also said: "That's right, recruiting soldiers to put down pirates requires too much money, we can't afford so much money at once."

Long Chen said with a chuckle: "You three, I haven't said how much you want, but you are all crying, isn't that good?"

This...

Xu Zhi and the others laughed and said nothing.

Governor Chen Zu asked, "My lord, how much do you want?"
