Chapter 307: The Dust Settles
As soon as Ye Chen's words were finished, the people around him also noticed that something was wrong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although none of them had seen Ye Chen, the legend about him had already spread throughout the Qi Kingdom, and Lin'an Mansion was no exception.
In fact, as early as the first day Qian Tu came, everyone who saw him began to be suspicious, but because of the guarantee of the previous prefect, they could only keep their doubts in their hearts.
Before they could find out the truth and distinguish the authenticity, Qian Tu entered Lin'an City again and took over the guarding of Lin'an City.
"This son is angry, since you said that you are true and he is a fake, do you have any evidence?" The middle-aged man asked.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, how can we adults be fake, these are just the means of the mob outside to deceive people." The soldier hurriedly objected.
"Shut up, what are you, you are aiding and abetting, none of you can escape this time." Ye Chen scolded.
"What did you just say, they're mobs? What the hell is going on outside these days, how can there be a mob! The middle-aged man suddenly went crazy and grabbed his own soldier and asked.
Not only that, but the officers and soldiers next to them also began to get anxious, although they were all on errands in Lin'an City, but most of their homes were outside Lin'an City.
Now that they heard that there was a mob outside, they naturally began to get anxious.
"You let me go, I was wrong just now, they are not mobs, they are people who have come to murder Governor Ye." The pro-soldier quibbled, but his tone and expression betrayed him at this time.
Ye Chen saw that the other side didn't even admit himself, and said coldly: "This person came to Lin'an Mansion under my name, and on the first day, he ordered to increase the tax in the county seat of Lin'an Mansion by half, and on the second day, he robbed the people's grain reserves. ā
"Come on, surround them for me, Du Chuan, you take people outside the city to see if there are any refugees." The middle-aged man said loudly.
"Zhongli, you... Why are you doing this, the prefect has already removed you, and you have no right to order everyone now. The pro-soldier didn't expect that he would be self-defeating, and stammered.
The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said, "Don't point fingers at me here, it's true that I was dismissed, but I also need to be a real prefect, as long as you let him take out the holy decree and the letter of appointment now, I will definitely not be nosy." ā
Soldier: "You ......"
Because of Ye Chen's sudden arrival in Lin'an Mansion, the Lin'an Prefect, who had just taken office here, could only be forced to transfer out of this place, and even teamed up with the Fang family to harm Ye Chen.
Not only that, but the previous prefect also took away most of the officials here before leaving, trying to make Lin'an City completely inoperable.
According to the laws of the Qi State, except for the officials of the county seat and the prefect, the rest can be recruited by themselves, and they only need to submit the list to the state city to pass the review.
If it weren't for Qian Tu who aroused everyone's ideas, and there was no way to prove his identity, I am afraid that he would have let people take over all the officers and soldiers of Lin'an City early on.
"Who are you who can mobilize the officers and soldiers in Lin'an City?" Ye Chen stared at the middle-aged man and asked.
Although he has now subdued Qiantu, the crisis has not been resolved, especially the thousands of officers and soldiers in front of him, who actually listened to others.
The middle-aged man let go of the pro-soldier and saluted: "My name is Zhongli, and I turned out to be the commander in charge of the security and garrison of Lin'an City, but when the prefect left, he had already removed me." ā
"Zhongli." Ye Chen muttered in his mouth, then raised his head and asked, "Zhongli, do you trust me?" ā
"What is the difference between believing and not believing, I am now an ordinary soldier, but now I am worried about my wife and daughter, so I have to give orders." Zhongli shook his head.
"This is a letter of appointment signed by the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Officials, the Holy Purpose is in the tent outside, if you want, I can immediately restore you to the throne, as long as you do things well, I will not be able to treat you badly in the future." Ye Chen said.
He didn't know what Zhongli was like, but now he had no other choice, and after leaving the company, he could still make the old ministry obey his words, from this point of view, Ye Chen felt that Zhongli was not simple.
"It's really the big seal of the prime minister and the ministry, sir, hurry up and agree, the brothers have been looking forward to your return for a long time." Someone took Ye Chen's letter of appointment and said.
"Are you really Ye Chen, the new prefect of Lin'an Mansion?" Zhongli finally confirmed.
He can be the capital of Lin'an City, and naturally he is not an ordinary person, and his understanding of the capital is far beyond ordinary people.
Especially Ye Chen's name, which has often appeared in front of him in the past few months, but he really can't believe that the demon-like young man opposite is Ye Chen.
It's just that before Ye Chen could answer, Wan Yu ran over from the side and said: "This can still be fake, the holy decree is outside, which of you will come with me to get the holy decree." ā
"Okay, as long as there is really a holy decree, then I will naturally serve you." Zhongli replied.
Although the officers and soldiers and defenders of Lin'an City now listen to him, his life is not too easy.
Zhongli has been in Lin'an City for more than 20 years, from a small soldier to a capital, during which he didn't know that he had offended many wealthy families in Lin'an City, but because of his identity, he has not made a move against him, and now that he has been removed, I am afraid that as long as he leaves Lin'an City, he will be hunted down.
He was different from other people in the city, and it was understandable that the officials of Lin'an City were taken away this time, but it was worth his suspicion that the new prefect sent people to seal the city on the first day of his tenure.
But the most important thing was that Ye Chen shocked him, and he rushed into Lin'an City alone, killed so many guards, and caught this fake person.
"That's good, you go outside with me now to get the holy decree, as for this group of people, you arrest them all, if there is resistance, kill them on the spot, and when these things are done, bring all the officials of Lin'an City here tomorrow morning." Ye Chen said with satisfaction.
"Hmm... Not... Hmm" Qian Tu has also woken up now, but his mouth is gagged, and he can only make this sound to resist.
"Smack."
Wan Yu slapped Qian Tu in the face, and then scolded: "You still dare to scream, look at what has become outside, it's really better than a beast, look at your thing, it's not as big as a bug, and you learn from others to play with women, I'm ashamed of you." ā
The people next to him also noticed the middle of Qian Tu's legs at this time, and found that it was really a little, and they couldn't help laughing.
Qian Tu's personal soldiers saw that Qian Tu was so humiliated, and said angrily: "Zhongli, you can be careful, we are all behind General Fang, if you dare to arrest us today, we will ...... tomorrow."
"Don't tell me that it's useless, if something happens to my wife and children, even if Fang Guoqiang comes over in person, you will have to die." Zhongli replied. (To be continued.) )
