Chapter 171: Wei Ruolan came to tempt
The fact that the Dongcheng Terracotta Division brought down Liu Baihu of the Jinyi Army soon caused a sensation among several other Terracotta Divisions.
The patrol battalion and the city patrol general are also paying close attention to this matter.
Although they were secretly happy to bring down the Jinyi Army, they also sweated for the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses.
Is the Jinyi Army easy to mess with? If they were to be provoked, they would have been provoked a long time ago.
Just when they thought that the Jinyi Army would report back to the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses, and even implicate themselves, there was news that Liu Baihu had been arrested by the emperor and beheaded by the Autumn Queen.
As the news spread, they found that the Jinyi army in several other urban areas had also quietly withdrawn.
The retaliation of the Jinyi Army, which was worried, did not come, but retreated, did the Jinyi Army admit it?
They have been angry with the Jinyi Army all these years, and now the way they look makes them a little unbelievable.
The leaders of the other four cities of the Terracotta Division gathered together, calculated for a long time, and decided to send Wei Ruolan to the Dongcheng Terracotta Division to inquire about the movement.
The Wei family and the Jia family are world friends, and Wei Ruolan and Jia Rui also know each other, so it is most appropriate to send him to inquire about the news.
Wei Ruolan is the deputy commander of the Nancheng Terracotta Division, and she also knows Chen Yejun, and first found Chen Yejun.
"Isn't Tianxiang here?"
"I went home, he was still in charge of the affairs of the provincial villa, and he didn't go back for a few days, and now I'll go back to see if there is anything on the project. How did you come up here? β
Chen Yejun was actually somewhat dissatisfied with Wei Ruolan, not only a little dissatisfied with Wei Ruolan, but also a little dissatisfied with the leaders of the other four Soldiers and Horses.
The reason is also simple, that is, because when the Dongcheng Terracotta Division was playing with the Jinyi Army, several other Terracotta Divisions adopted an attitude of standing by and hiding far away.
Even if Liu Baihu has been transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate has already decided the case, they will not pay attention to this matter. None of them came to contact the Dongcheng Terracotta Division, and no one expressed support.
It wasn't until now that the people of the Jinyi Army quietly withdrew, and Wei Ruolan came here.
Chen Yejun also understood that in their hearts, they were afraid that they would come into contact with the Dongcheng Terracotta Division and set themselves on fire.
"You have brought down the Jinyi Army, I will congratulate you, and please ask for advice to see what secrets you have."
"Ruolan, you're not an outsider, I'll tell you the truth. There is no secret, it is forced to be helpless, so I rise up to resist. β
"No, Jia Rui and Zheng Tianlun have just taken office, their eyes are black, where do they have this ability?"
"They do have black eyes, but we know the details, and we also know Liu Baihu's handles and weaknesses. Isn't it the same with you, don't say that you don't control the brocade armies in your own jurisdiction. β
"Although we have mastered it, we are neither the uncle of the country, nor are we our masters who patrol the city."
"Ruolan, do you think Jia Rui dared to make a move because of his backer? You'd be wrong. β
"When we started, Lord Xu didn't know about it, and it seems that he had also blamed Jia Rui for being reckless. Jia Rui and Jia Guifei are not sisters and brothers, and their relationship is not very close. β
Although Zheng Tianlun is Zheng Guifei's own brother, he does not rely on his sister in this matter. Although he participated in this matter, he was completely at the disposal of Jia Rui. β
"The reason for this matter is very simple, that is, Liu Baihu pressed too hard, wanted Bing Jing again, and threatened to beat and scold our subordinates, and when we couldn't bear it, we did it."
"Thinking about it at the moment, we have swallowed our anger all these years, and we are really a bit of a wretch. If we hadn't blindly tolerated it, the Jinyi Army might not dare to press step by step, so arrogant. β
"You may be right, but why did the Jinyi army quietly withdraw this time, is there any plan in it?"
Chen Yejun looked at Wei Ruolan and couldn't help sighing.
Alas, it's no wonder that he is so careful, it seems that it is under the obscenity of the Jinyi Army, which makes them still have lingering palpitations.
"I don't know about that. In any case, it would be a good thing for us to withdraw, at least not to be exploited by them. β
The reason why the Jinyi army quietly withdrew, Chen Yejun was clear.
Jia Rui once analyzed the reason with him.
That is, Xie Kun accepted Jia Rui's suggestion and no longer focused on the people and small yamen like the Soldiers and Horses.
Of course, this is not because Xie Kun was afraid of the Soldiers and Horses Division because of the Liu Baihu incident. Instead, he considered his own interests and felt that Jia Rui's suggestion was beneficial to him.
Not to mention anything else, let's take making money as an example, how much oil and water can be fished out of an ordinary person or a city household, or even a person like Zhou Zongjia? I drained their bone marrow, and I couldn't come up with a lot of money.
On the contrary, if you put your energy on those big merchants and ministers, as soon as you open your mouth, it will be thousands of taels of silver.
From the perspective of solving cases, can a case of petty theft by a common person and a case of a small businessman be compared with the case of a third, fourth, second- and third-grade official?
Therefore, for Xie Kun, it is thankless to mix the trivial matters that the Jinyi Army and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division are responsible for.
encountered subordinates like Liu Baihu, which caused public outrage and made himself angry.
After weighing the pros and cons, Xie Kun made adjustments.
As for the Jia family and the Xie family being world friends, and the brotherhood between Jia Rui and Xie Kun, Jia Rui has never had much illusion about these.
Some small things, Xie Kun may give Jia Rui a face and sell him personal favors.
When it comes to official affairs, and their own official positions, future and other major interests, things like world friendship and friendship are basically of little use.
The most core thing is still one's own interests.
If Jia Rui thinks that he has a lot of influence over Xie Kun, he can't help but think too simply.
In officialdom, if you have such a naΓ―ve attitude, you are almost no different from an idiot.
Of course, these are just Jia Rui's private analyses with him, and it is not convenient for Chen Yejun to talk directly to Wei Ruolan.
"Jia Rui has just taken office, this first fire is burning, what is his next step?"
Listening to the movements of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division is also one of the purposes of Wei Ruolan's visit.
"Ruolan, you really asked about this. To tell you the truth, Jia Rui said that he really had to make some big moves next. β
"What's going on?"
He hasn't revealed exactly what he wants to do, but he is planning it. Actually, I think you might as well have some movement over there in Nancheng. β
"What Jia Rui means is that only by making some big moves and letting people see the skills and achievements of the Terracotta Division can we establish our authority. With authority, others will naturally respect us, and no one dares to bully us easily. β
"The truth is right, but what can be brilliant about the errands of our Terracotta Division? After so many years, isn't it just the trivial things of those mothers-in-law? β
"Trivialities can make a big deal, I believe Jia Rui will have unusual behavior."
"Actually, the five of us have been divided and fought alone. If we can work together and twist into a rope, it is also a big force, and others may not dare to underestimate us. β
"Yejun, what you said makes sense, when Jia Rui has any new moves, you will let me know. If it is feasible, we in Nancheng may as well cooperate with you. β
"There is something unusual about Jarry, and if you follow in his footsteps, you may really be able to forge a new path."
"Hahaha...... is this what my brother looks like? Okay, I'll tell you when there's news from Jia Rui. β
