Chapter 434: The Man in the Official Mansion
After the four girls went out to play, the next day, Lu Chen summoned the city captain Hu Feng into the palace.
When the royal order was transmitted to the Fengzhou City Captain's Mansion, Hu Feng immediately panicked, because he couldn't figure out what the king was calling him this time, so he hurriedly took off his city captain's armor and changed into his clean official uniform.
Hu Feng, like the first lieutenant in some places, is a military general who has had a lot of military exploits, he was originally a military attachΓ©, and he didn't know a few big characters, but now, he is very studious, plus Fengzhou is the capital, and there are big officials everywhere, he serves as a city lieutenant in this place, you can imagine how much pressure it has.
Seeing Lu Chen in the palace study, Hu Feng hurriedly knelt on the ground to salute, pouting his buttocks, and shouted loudly: "Minister, Hu Feng, knock on my king-"
"Excuse me." Lu Chen waved his hand.
"King Xieβ" Hu Feng got up.
Lu Chen glanced at him and said with a smile: "Hu Feng, this king's impression of you is still stuck when you followed this king to fight in the south and the north, and you were wearing a military uniform, but now seeing you wearing this three-grade official uniform, this king is a little unaccustomed to it." β
As he spoke, he said, "How's it going?" Since serving as the captain of Fengzhou City, can you still be handy? If there is any inconvenience, you can also bring it up to this king, you are a meritorious minister of our wind country, and your military achievements are great, if the position of city captain is too wronged, this king can also make another dispatch. β
Yes? Hearing this, Hu Feng was stunned on the spot, he thought that he had done something bad and annoyed Lu Chen!
After waking up, he hurriedly knelt on the ground again, and said in a trembling voice: "The king, Weichen, Weichen has not done anything great since he served as the captain of Fengzhou City, but he has ...... But he has always been loyal to his duties, and he does not dare to slack off in the slightest, and if he does anything wrong, please punish the king! β
"Get up!" Lu Chen said, knowing that Hu Feng had misunderstood what he meant, but he didn't explain, but changed his words and said, "Yesterday's matter, your City Captain's Mansion did a good job. β
"Ah, protecting the safety of the princess and several ladies is the responsibility of Weichen and the city governor's mansion." Hu Feng hurriedly said.
"Yes." Lu Chen nodded, and said, "This king summoned you to the palace this time to ask you, have all those martial arts people in Fengzhou left recently?" β
Seeing him talk about work, Hu Feng immediately said: "Half of it has gone, and there are still some people from three religions and nine streams staying here, and Weichen is also about to ask the king for instructions on whether to drive him away by force." β
"Huh? Don't drive anyone, in this way, in the future, the people of other places, who dare to come to Fengzhou again, as long as they don't break the law, then let them go. Lu Chen waved his hand, and continued: "In addition, you city captains are responsible for local security, sometimes, don't just start from the perspective of the government, there are many things that can be used for you!" β
"Please show me the king." Hu Feng hurriedly said.
Lu Chen smiled: "You know the horse gang, right?" Their gangs are all over the country, although they make a living by selling horses, but there are many people in the rivers and lakes, you can have more contact with their gang leaders, sometimes, maybe the government can't find things, but others can easily help you find out. β
"Huh?" When Hu Feng heard this, he said in surprise: "But the king, they are all reckless ......."
"Huh?" Lu Chen waved his hand and said: "At this point, you have to learn from General Tang Man, the reason why the military aircraft battalion is strong is not unreasonable, and it is also inseparable from Tang Man." β
What he said is not wrong, Tang Man's management of the military aircraft battalion is definitely very strong, the regular personnel of the military aircraft battalion are actually not many, but it can collect intelligence from all over the country, it can be imagined, how big its net is, it can be said that in the market, there are eyeliner outside the establishment of the military aircraft battalion.
As he spoke, Lu Chen looked at Hu Feng with a smile and said, "Okay, you can go down." β
"Wechen retired." Hu Feng bowed and retreated.
Lu Chen's point stopped, and Hu Feng, after coming out of the palace, he also went to the military aircraft camp as soon as possible.
Hearing that Lord Hu from the Chengwei Mansion was visiting, Tang Man was quite surprised, but she didn't think much about it, and immediately asked Hu Feng to be invited into the mansion and served tea in the living room.
The two of them have had a lot of dealings in the army before, and they can be regarded as old acquaintances, and after some politeness in the officialdom, Hu Feng went directly to the point and told him about meeting the king today.
After hearing this, Tang Man said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Master Hu, this horse gang, I was originally going to meet their gang leader." β
"General Tang is talking about ......," Hu Feng asked suspiciously.
Tang Man explained: "There are many people in the horse gang, and the horse traffickers go south and north, Master Hu thinks about it, if his gang leader is willing to serve the military aircraft battalion, is it equivalent to having many more pairs of eyes?" β
Hearing this, Hu Feng was a little anxious, and said: "This, this, General Tang, contact with the leader of the Ma Gang, this is the point mentioned by the king, can the general be like this?" β
"Huh? Master Hu is too worried, since I have told you so, I naturally will not interfere again. Tang Man said with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you." Hu Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That...... Can I ask the general a lesson or two? β
"Lord Hu is in Fengzhou, which is the headquarters of the city captain, so you can give the leader of the Ma Gang a brand." Tang Man said with a smile.
In the afternoon of the same day, Hu Feng sent someone to invite the leader of the Ma Gang, Boss Bai, to the City Governor's Mansion.
What is the Castle Captain's Mansion? How could Boss Bai not know, but when the soldiers came to invite, he had to go, and along the way, he was all nervous, and he thought that he had committed something.
After arriving at the City Captain's Mansion, when he saw Hu Feng, Boss Bai swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The grass people visit Lord City Captain, I don't know...... I don't know what the grass people have done......"
"Huh?" Hu Feng took two steps forward, personally helped Boss Bai up, and said with a smile on his face: "Boss Bai is mostly worried, this official just wants to make friends with Boss Bai, and it is really helpless to send soldiers to invite him. β
Yes? Hearing this, Boss Bai was even more puzzled, he was helped up by Hu Feng, and he was sent to his seat again in a daze, and stammered: "Lord Chengwei, this, this ......"
"Boss Bai, please use tea." Hu Feng first stretched out his hand, then picked up the teacup on the table beside him and took a sip, and said: "Boss Bai makes a living by selling horses, walking the rivers and lakes, and traveling south and north, it is inevitable that he will have to deal with the government, and there were many inconveniences in the past, right?" β
What he said was in Boss Bai's heart, although there are many horse gangs, but when selling horses in various places, it is inevitable that he will be detained by the government for a while because of some things, which will affect his business, but although he is a person in the rivers and lakes, where does he dare to go against the government, and there is no way, he can only go up and down, which is quite distressing.
Hu Feng observed his words and looks, so that he knew it in his heart, and after Boss Bai calmed down, he said with a smile: "This official respects Boss Bai's personality, and he wants to make friends with Boss Bai. β
As he spoke, Hu Feng took out a small sign and handed it to Boss Bai below.
Seeing this, Boss Bai was flattered, and quickly got up to take it with both hands, and asked in surprise: "Lord Chengwei, what are you ......?"
"Of course, as a friend, if there is anything in the City Governor's Mansion that needs Ma Bang's help in the future, I hope Boss Bai will not refuse." Hu Feng continued to smile.
Yes? So that's the case, when Boss Bai heard this, he immediately said: "It must be!" β
As he spoke, he asked in a tentative trembling voice, "So, in the next ...... Can you be regarded as a person in the government? β
Hu Feng nodded with a smile: "Of course." β
When Boss Bai heard this, his excited tone changed, isn't this exactly what he dreamed of! I didn't expect to have such good luck today, and it was sent to the door!
With trembling hands, he carefully took the token of the City Captain's Mansion into his arms, and patted it lightly with his hand.
