Chapter 170 Five County Orders

In addition to Daling City, Daling Province is divided into five counties. Although the counties do not have the power to promulgate laws and build armies, with the laws and regulations that the county officials can be equipped with swords, it stands to reason that the power in the hands of the county commanders is not small, at least in their own territory.

It's just that after the county magistrates of Daling Province walked into the lobby, Chen Baichuan couldn't help frowning.

He couldn't see a trace of heroism on the faces of the comers, and they bowed their waists one by one, as if they were afraid that one of his actions would cause Chen Baichuan's dissatisfaction. The five of them also attended the dinner last night, and although they flattered Chen Baichuan at that time, they were not so humble.

Overnight, their attitude towards Chen Baichuan changed dramatically. Last night, the five people at the reception banquet all tried desperately to slap themselves, and now, looking at the expressions on their faces, it seemed that they wanted to stay away from themselves.

This strange situation is so familiar, Chen Baichuan can't help but associate things with Huang Shilong beside him. The same is true of this fat man, who has gone from being fanatical about himself to now being afraid of saying a word to himself.

This is probably not a coincidence.

Chen Baichuan sighed in his heart, from this point of view, the five county officials are also insiders of the people behind Huang Shilong, and it is more likely that they are also victims. In fact, he should have had this kind of consciousness a long time ago, as the governor of Huang Shilong, he had already fallen, and there was no need to count on the county orders at the lower level. If you want to pull out the mastermind behind the scenes, I'm afraid you have to use the old man Li Hongfan.

Chen Baichuan vaguely felt that Master Li should know the truth of the matter. Paper can't hold the fire, and Huang Shilong's strange behavior has long been exposed in front of Master Li, but did he dig out the truth of the matter?

"See Chincha-sama. [Fast update, refreshing website pages, few ads, no pop-ups, I like this kind of website the most, be sure to praise]"

When Chen Baichuan was thinking, the five county commanders had already walked to the center of the hall and bowed their waists.

They approached, and their expressions and demeanors fell more clearly in Chen Baichuan's eyes.

Five bad old men with different looks wore court clothes, and the ill-fitting court clothes made their already old and thin bodies look weak. The green tendons on the exposed hands have skyrocketed, and it is very worrying whether they will burst open in the next moment. The faces were the usual old age, and countless wrinkles spread all over the face from the corners of the forehead.

They have no official spirit on them, and they look like five ordinary old people.

But Chen Baichuan knew that these five people would not be really mediocre. At least in some respects, they have their own advantages, otherwise the position of the county order will not be their turn.

Now it's controlled by others, but the ability to do it is still there, right?

The old man is respected, Chen Baichuan pointed to the seats on both sides of the lobby and motioned for them to sit up. The five thanked each other and sat down one by one. The orderly and tacit understanding between each other made Chen Baichuan wonder if they had discussed at the door before coming in.

However, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Huang Shilong's face, from the time he entered the door to the present, Chen Baichuan did not let his butt touch the chair, but just left him aside.

Chen Baichuan patted the green booklet on the table, attracting everyone's attention to himself. He cleared his throat and said with a straight face: "The five adults are each in charge of the land of Chen Guo and one county, and the livelihood of thousands of people depends on the five of them. If you have any trouble before, please let me know. After reporting to King Chen, a satisfactory solution will be obtained. ”

The other meanings in Chen Baichuan's words, the five old men didn't hear it, they only grasped the most superficial meaning, and thanked Chen Baichuan for gratitude.

They didn't have anything they wanted to say, and Chen Baichuan didn't have the idea of forcing it. After a few more nonsense about local people's feelings, Chen Baichuan let the five of them go home.

When they were gone, a sentence suddenly came out of Chen Baichuan's mouth: "Lord Huang, you told me last night that you were controlled by others, judging from the performance of several of them, it is indeed so." Thank you Lord Huang for your kind words and reminders, and when you reply to King Chen, you will definitely say a few kind words for you in front of King Chen. ”

Huang Shilong's mind was not slow, and as soon as Chen Baichuan's voice fell, he guessed Chen Baichuan's intentions. It's just a guess, Huang Shilong didn't have the courage to stop Chen Baichuan's move, and Wu Datou was still watching from the sidelines, so he didn't have a chance if he had the courage.

"Lord Chen, I ...... last night I don't think I told you that last night...... Please also ask Lord Chen to ......" The fat man's voice was full of fear, and when he spoke, he looked around, and his face was more nervous.

Chen Baichuan had a look of doubt, and he said loudly: "Lord Huang, have you forgotten what happened last night?" You also said that the man abused you like a dog and let me avenge you, didn't you? ”

The fat man almost cried, when did he say these words. Even in his sleep, I'm afraid that the subconscious will restrain him from saying these words.

There was a soft footstep at the door, it was the sound of leaving. After Chen Baichuan's hearing and eyesight improved a lot after the incident in Wanjian Peak Forest, it was at this moment that he didn't catch this subtle footsteps.

It's just that smart people often don't have only one preparation to do things, maybe in the corner of this room, there is another person hiding in the child who is watching and listening.

Chen Baichuan even had some doubts that there were Huang Shilong's people in the entire Governor's Palace.

Thinking of this, a chill suddenly rose in his heart. Living under the fence, Bai Shuang and the others are not equivalent to being in possible danger, and it seems that this governor's palace is not suitable for a long time. At the moment, it is still unclear what the person behind Huang Shilong may be, what is the purpose and strength, it is best to find a relatively safe place to settle the white frost first.

"Huang Shilong, the private house you said is going to come out today. The servants and maidservants inside also ask you to help me drive me away, and the people I brought with me are enough to take care of me. ”

Chen Baichuan used an ordered tone this time, and the tone of inviolability made Huang Shilong, who had planned to act according to his words, even more afraid to disobey.

"Let's go down."

Huang Shilong didn't say a word, and after making a salute, he pulled his feet and left.

There were only three people left in the lobby at the moment.

Chen Baichuan on the main seat, staring at Wu Datou with round eyes, respectfully stood on the side of Li Hongfan.

The most free and easy person here is Wu Datou, he sat there for a long time, and he didn't see what was going on, he just felt that Chen Baichuan's majestic appearance was very interesting.

And the person with the heaviest mood is none other than Li Hongfan.

He witnessed Chen Baichuan's unceremonious treatment of Huang Shilong, which further verified his previous guess.

He also saw the panic on Huang Shilong's face when Chen Baichuan framed Huang Shilong. In other words, this governor's palace has indeed been infiltrated by that person, which means that his every move is very likely to be in the eyes of the other party.

It seems too late to get out of this quagmire. (To be continued.) )
