On July 18, the 25th year of Yongzhi, a heavy rain came as scheduled.

It stands to reason that a rainy day shouldn't be suitable for rushing, but this day is the best choice for reshooting.

Why? Because this rain was begged by the emperor to God, such rain is very auspicious.

Choosing this day to set off can be regarded as a sycophant of the emperor, and Chen Xiaoting is very familiar with this.

Since he was planning to leave Shen Yue alone, he had to hug the emperor's thigh, and he must not miss the sycophants.

Even Chen Xiaoting could foresee that at this time, there were already a large number of officials preparing congratulatory tables for the emperor.

At this time, Chen Xiaoting was coming out of the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, and all the bigwigs of Jinyiwei came to see him off.

Chen Xiaoting is going to do the emperor's errand, no matter what position he is in, everyone else should come and send it off.

In the end, when Chen Xiaoting got into the carriage, he said to Sun Xian and the others: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't leave it here!" ”

It was raining now, and riding a horse was naturally not a good choice, so Chen Xiaoting got into the carriage.

After seeing Chen Xiaoting leave, Sun Xian and the others all turned around and entered the yamen, and everything seemed to be calm again.

On both sides of Chen Xiaoting's carriage, Niu Jingyun and Liu Kui, who were wearing hats and riding horses, both of whom were ordered by Chen Xiaoting himself.

"I told you to prepare two more carriages, look at the present...... It's raining! Chen Xiaoting said with a smile.

He is now a commander, there is no need to show too much love for his subordinates, and it is better to maintain more majesty.

"My lord, this is Ji Yu...... We're bathed in the grace of God! Niu Jingyun said with a smile.

A very important reason why this guy can be valued by Chen Xiaoting is that this guy can shoot horses like Wang Zhongde.

Don't think that this is not a skill, the ability to pat on the back can be said to be the embodiment of survival ability in a sense.

After all, there are so many people in a thousand households, and there must be many capable people, and how to stand out from them is the primary problem.

Not to mention Niu Jingyun and Wang Zhongde, if you look at Jiao Furong and Pei Lun, which one is not a good fart.

Even Chen Xiaoting himself, didn't he rely on flattering Zhou Wenzhu and kneeling and licking Shen Yue to have a chance to make a fortune.

Liu Kui on the side is in stark contrast to Niu Jingyun, who is an expert in business, but he is not tactful enough.

For Chen Xiaoting, such a person is also worth promoting, because he can't always rely on a stick of sycophants, even if these sycophants have the ability.

"Let's do something big when we go to Jiangnan, you already know what's going on, think about countermeasures on the way!" Chen Xiaoting said in a deep voice.

This is the view that he has always adhered to, a person's energy is limited, and the reasonable use of subordinates as a boss is the king of victory.

"Yes!" Niu Jingyun replied.

There were more than 200 people in their group, and they used to cause congestion in the city, but now the roads are clear when it rains.

rushed all the way to the south gate, but before they left the city gate, they saw that in the pergola outside the city gate, someone was waiting for Chen Xiaoting to arrive.

To be precise, the person waiting for Chen Xiaoting was a eunuch, and this person was Huang Ting, the No. 2 eunuch in Dongchang.

Not only are they old acquaintances with Huang Ting, but Chen Xiaoting also has a life-saving grace for Huang Ting, so the two of them have a good relationship in private.

It's just that one of the two of them is a Jinyi guard, and the other is a great eunuch of Dongchang, so they must keep their distance on the surface.

Therefore, except for one or two intersections from time to time, the two rarely see each other.

Seeing Huang Ting appear here, Chen Xiaoting was suspicious in his heart, this person would not have come to send him!

After getting out of the carriage, Yang Kai personally held the umbrella, and Chen Xiaoting walked to the pergola where Huang Ting was.

"Grandpa Huang, you won't be waiting for me!" Chen Xiaoting spoke first.

Compared with four or five years ago, Huang Ting became more and more majestic at this time, and went farther and farther on the road to the eunuch Bingbi.

It's a pity that his luck is not as good as Liu Jinzhong, and he stepped into the position of the superintendent of the West Factory, and directly became the master of ceremonies.

Of course, everything has to be viewed from two aspects, Huang Ting is now a beat slower than Liu Jinzhong, but he will not have much problem taking over as the governor of Dongchang.

Nowadays, the West Factory is the most popular, but the West Factory is not a non-existent institution, who can guarantee that he will still exist in five or ten years?

"Chen Yanshi, our family is actually here to pass on the decree!" Huang Ting put away the smile on his face and said.

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting's face immediately returned to seriousness, no one dared to joke about the emperor's holy decree.

But Huang Ting didn't rush to think about it, but said to everyone on the left and right: "You all retreat!" ”

It only took less than half a minute, and only Huang Ting and Chen Xiaoting were left in the pergola, and the sound of heavy rain could cut off their conversation.

"You don't have to be too restrained, although I came by the emperor's order, I didn't bring a holy decree!" Huang Ting said calmly.

There is no holy decree, that is, there is an oracle, or simply with a yellow will.

"You are going to Jiangnan, in addition to investigating the assassination of Tian Yuanxi, there is another more important matter!"

Huang Ting didn't sell Guanzi either, and said bluntly: "Those gentry in Jiangnan have more or less colluded with the Japanese Kou, and the emperor turned a blind eye in the past, so this time ......."

"Since they dare to touch the people in the palace, then you don't have to be polite, find out a few major collaborators, and severely punish them to make an example!"

It can be said that this was an act of revenge on the part of the emperor himself.

The reason why only a part of the investigation is carried out, instead of uprooting the people who are in contact with the Japanese, is because there may be too many people who are in contact with the Japanese, and the emperor has to take into account the stability of Jiangnan.

"You have to grasp the degree in this!" Huang Ting cautiously reminded.

"I understand it below!" Chen Xiaoting also replied solemnly.

"What's more, although Tian Yuanxi is dead, the taxes that should be collected can't be stopped, and the emperor will send a new tax supervisor in a few days, and you will have to cooperate with him to collect taxes and silver at that time!" Huang Ting said in a deep voice.

Everything he said was actually quite tricky, and it wasn't as simple as investigating the case at all.

"Is this the emperor's will?" Chen Xiaoting asked, he wanted to make the final confirmation.

"It's all the emperor's intention, but you have to grasp the degree of it, and I went to the southeast...... It's better not to clash with Wu Guorui! Huang Ting pointed.

Wu Guorui, the current governor of Liangjiang, commanded the military and political affairs of Jiangnan and Jiangbei provinces.

In addition to the identity of the only two governors of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Guorui was the proud protégé of Huang Yucheng, the first assistant, because he was in charge of matters related to the defense of the southeast, and he had always been relied on by the emperor.

This time he went to Jiangnan, Chen Xiaoting designated that he would have a conflict with the gentry, which might affect the entire southeast situation.

And protecting the stability of Jiangnan is the most important thing in all aspects, so Chen Xiaoting must reach an agreement with Wu Guorui.

"Thank you father-in-law for mentioning it!" Chen Xiaoting bowed his hand.

Huang Ting naturally didn't care, and said at the same time: "Go to Jiangnan, be careful all the way!" ”

Those people even dared to kill Tian Yuanxi, so it is not impossible to kill another Chen Xiaoting, and people's courage will always get bigger and bigger.

"Grandpa Xie!" Except for these three words, Chen Xiaoting really couldn't find anything else.

After another small talk between the two, half an hour had passed, and it was time for Huang Ting to go back to his life.

"In the words of the civil officials, there will be a farewell in sending you a thousand miles, and Chen will do ...... Bon voyage! A rare smile appeared on Huang Ting's face.

At this moment, the rain has stopped, and it is a good time to hurry.

After saying goodbye to Huang Ting, Chen Xiaoting stepped on horseback and went directly to the south with his subordinates, which was the direction of Jiangnan!
