Seeing the city gate of Jiang'an County in front of him, the motorcade stopped moving forward. Liu Tong, who was pale, rode his horse to the carriage where the woman was, and asked softly, "Madam..."

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and the woman looked at Liu Tong in front of her with a sad face. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head and said, "We are already here, what are you still afraid of?"

Liu Tong smiled bitterly and said, "Would you like to ask again?"

The woman said nothing, and finally just nodded.

So Liu Tong rode his horse to another carriage not far behind him and asked respectfully, "Master Chen, we have arrived at the gate of Jiang'an County. Do you want to enter the city?"

When he asked this question, Liu Tong was actually a little hesitant. He still didn't quite believe that the young warrior in front of him was a high-ranking figure.

"Go and ask the county guard to come out to see me." .🅆.

The curtain of the carriage was not opened, and only the young man's weak voice came from inside.

"Is this... going too far?"

Although Liu Tong had never been in the officialdom, he knew that the county guard was the lord of the county. It would not be easy to ask him to go out of the city to greet him personally. This would also cause the county guard to lose his face.

What would this make the Sheriff think?

"Just go ahead and tell me. The governor should be at the city gate. Let him come to see me alone. He will come."

The voice in the carriage was still so weak and light, like a wisp of wind.

Liu Tong was dubious, but after telling the woman about the matter, he got an accurate response from the woman, so he walked towards the city gate with a sudden change of heart.

…

…

At the gate of the county city, officials who were rarely seen by ordinary people gathered here at this moment, except for the guard Su Tong.

County Governor Huang Shi was a thin middle-aged man. He looked around at the team of officials, but still didn't see Su Tong. His face became a little ugly. He stared at Jiang An beside him and asked, "Where is Su Tong? He really isn't coming. ?”

Jiang'an Biejia smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, I sent someone to inform you a long time ago. Su Tong said he was unwell and couldn't come."

Huang Shi's face was gloomy and uncertain. Although he didn't know who the big shot in the divine capital was coming today, when he got the news before, the messenger didn't even mention his name, but asked Su Tong to be present. Now Su Tong If copper doesn't come, he will feel troubled no matter what.

He has been working as an official in Jiang'an County for these years, and he has long wanted to climb up the ladder, but he has never been able to get any opportunities. Now it is finally possible to meet a big shot in the divine capital, and maybe he can make a friend. Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to call all the officials here, but Su Tong, who was named by the other party, did not come. Huang Shi was worried that this matter would be self-defeating.

"This Su Tong is used to being domineering in Jiang'an County. He really thinks he is a local emperor. Now that he is showing off, is his brain kicked by a donkey?"

Huang Shi cursed secretly and his face became extremely ugly.

Jiang'an Biejia couldn't say anything. On weekdays,

Su Tong, relying on the fact that he had soldiers in his hands, had never been kind to these civil servants. Couldn't they just pinch their noses and admit it?

"May I ask who is the county governor?"

Liu Tong came to the city gate, looked at the officials, big and small, and asked them bravely.

Huang Shi turned to look at the middle-aged man in front of him. After thinking for a while, he cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I am Huang Shi, the governor of Jiang'an County."

Liu Tong was a little lost. He didn't expect that the county guard in front of him would be so polite. He quickly cupped his fists and said, "There is a Master Chen outside the city. He said that he wants the county guard to go out of the city to meet..."

At this point, Liu Tong didn't have any confidence. After all, such words didn't really sound so good on the surface.

Unexpectedly, Huang Shi quickly took a few steps forward and said with a smile, "Please lead the way. Take me to see Mr. Chen."

Liu Tong never thought that things would go so smoothly. After nodding, he led the county guard in front of him towards the convoy over there.

Not long after, Liu Tong arrived in front of the carriage and said softly, "Mr. Chen, the county governor is here."

There was a hum in the carriage, and Liu Tong also knew that it was not good for him to stay here any longer, so he quickly left here.

After Liu Tong left, there was some noise in the carriage, and a young man walked out of the carriage and sat down.

Huang Shi looked at the young man in front of him and was a little surprised for a moment. He had already made various preparations, but when he saw this young man, he couldn't help being surprised.

It's really because the young man in front of me is too young.

Huang Shi didn't know how to speak for a moment.

The young man sitting next to the carriage glanced at Huang Shi and said calmly, "I am the guarding envoy Chen Chao."

Guardian envoy? The guardian of what place?

There were probably quite a few guardian envoys from the Liang Dynasty.

But the young man in front of him did not say where he was the guardian envoy.

In the entire Daliang Dynasty, I am afraid that there is only one who sits highest, the guardian envoy, who does not need to add any place name in front.

To add, it is also the word "daliang".

Wait a minute...Chen Chao? !

Huang Shi reacted quickly and knelt down immediately, "Huang Shi, please pay homage to the envoy!"

"Get up."

Chen Chao glanced at Huang Shi and asked calmly, "Is Su Tong not here?"

Huang Shi just stood up and was still a little shocked. Now his scalp was numb. He heard the guard in front of him asking about Su Tong, which made him even more uneasy.

"I feel ashamed. Although I have informed General Su, General Su is ill and could not come to greet the envoy..."

Chen Chaoping said, "I won't say anything roundabout to you. I checked you before I came here. Although you are not a good official in recent years, you have indeed not done anything greedy or careless about human life. But Su Tong is different. I'm afraid he hasn't done many good things in these years. Do you have evidence in your hand? If so, just give it to me. "

Huang Shi had a complicated look on his face. After thinking about it, he tentatively said, "Sir, the envoy of the Guard, Su Tong is afraid that he will return to the Northern Border Military Control Bureau. Even though he is in a high position..."

The two military attaches of the Liang Dynasty, the Northern General, were in charge of the Northern Border Army and all the soldiers in the new Liuzhou. Almost everything was decided by the General. As for the Guardian Envoy, although his official position was high, he was actually very small. It is difficult to interfere with the affairs of court officials.

Chen Chao looked at Huang Shi and said calmly, "Master Huang, does he know what the current general did before he became a general?"

Huang Shi was startled, and then he figured out the connection. The current general, before he became the general, was not a general in the Northern Army, but the previous garrison envoy.

"The lower official has an account book, which contains the number of bribes Su Tong has accepted over the years. It is not complete, but it can be used to convict him."

Huang Shi hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Lord Guard Envoy, if you want to capture Su Tong, I'm afraid you have to make long-term plans. After all, he holds the military power of the entire Jiang'an County in his hands."

If one of these military attachés is not good enough and incites his soldiers to mutiny, he will make things worse.

Chen Chao said calmly, "Let the local guards surround his general's mansion and then tie him to the door." .🅆.

"Your Majesty, the Guard Envoy, wants to take this Su Tong to the capital of God for trial?"

Huang Shi was a little surprised by the resolute action of the guardian envoy.

Chen Chao shook his head, "I will execute him on the spot."

"Lord Guardian... Isn't this inappropriate?"

Huang Shi was shocked. He never thought that Chen Chao would act like this.

Chen Chaoking said, "Some things can be done slowly, but if some things are done slowly, people's hearts will become cold. As for those in Shendu, if they say that I am domineering or wanton, let them talk. "

Chen Chao turned his head and looked into the distance, and said softly, "I don't care."

…

…

Jiang'an County's garrison envoy Wang Zhencai actually took office less than a year ago. After Chen Chao became the garrison envoy, although he has been busy, he still did something based on the Baichuan Pavilion in his hands.

For the first time, the Chen Dynasty abolished many of the useless guards and promoted a group of talented and practical guards, including Wang Zhen.

Since Wang Zhen served as the garrison envoy of Jiang'an County, he has lived up to his trust. From time to time, he takes his subordinates to hunt monsters in the surrounding mountains and forests, which has reduced the monster troubles here a lot.

He just came back from outside the city today and has not yet stepped into the mansion of the guardian envoy.

, he was stopped by his official at the door. The man respectfully raised a document and said softly, "Sir, this is the writing from above."

Wang Zhen stretched out his hand to take it. Just as he was thinking about what instructions the governor of the state capital had, he suddenly saw the words "Guardian" on the mud seal, and his eyes immediately widened.

"It's the writing of Shendu."

Wang Zhen's hand holding the document was trembling slightly. After the young guard envoy became the guard envoy, many people in the government and the public complained about it. However, as Wang Zhen, who was promoted by the young guard envoy, he had no respect for that young guard envoy. The young guard envoy was so impressed that he fell to the ground.

After opening the document, Wang Zhen quickly raised his eyebrows, closed the document, and said with a smile, "The guardian envoy has come to Jiang'an County!"

Upon hearing this, the officials guarding the Yamen around him were already excited.

They had no other feelings about the young guardian envoy, except for two words: admiration!

"Quickly call out all the officials from the garrison envoy's office, big and small, and go to the general's mansion to arrest them."

Wang Zhen smiled slightly and clenched his fist.

An official asked, "Sir, who should we arrest?"

"Of course it's Su Tong."

Wang Zhen sneered and said, "This scum, I have long wanted to kill him."

…

…

General's Mansion.

Su Tong was drunk and looked at a graceful dancer with squinted eyes. After waving, the other dancers looked at the dancer sympathetically and slowly withdrew.

The remaining dancer's face turned pale. Before she came today, she had thought about such a thing, but when such a thing happened to her, she was still at a loss.

Su Tong waved to the dancer and said drunkenly, "Take off your clothes for me, General!"

The dancer came to Su Tong tremblingly, and with trembling hands, she reached out to untie Su Tong's clothes.

The dancer's hands were slow, while Su Tong smiled and reached into the woman's collar to hold the warm ball.

The dancer's body was slightly stiff. Although she was very disgusted, she did not dare to resist.

"Su Tong!"

Just as Su Tong was enjoying the feeling coming from his fingertips, a voice suddenly sounded.

This angry shout immediately made Su Tong sober. Then the Jiang'an County Sheriff pushed the dancer away, squinted his eyes and looked forward, frowned and said angrily, "Wang Zhen, who gave you the courage to break into this general's residence?" ?”

Wang Zhen was too lazy to pay attention to Su Tong in front of him, but drew his knife and sneered, "Come here, tie up this General Su!"

Su Tong stood up with a cry, "Wang Zhen, are you going to rebel?!"

Wang Zhen said indifferently, "Su Tong, your death has come."
