Chapter 485: A Twist of Words

In the evening, a convoy of carriages drove out of the capital and headed southwest.

Then he left the city gate, and suddenly a man got into the carriage like a ghost.

The bamboo rain is coming.

Although the matter of iron cannot be made public, the matter of Su Xuan's order to go to Baizhou to suppress thieves is not hidden.

This time it wasn't like going to Shuzhou, he could enter the city openly.

And after arriving at the locality, he also needs the cooperation of the local government.

"Why are you here?" Su Xuan asked.

"Where are you going?" Zhuyu asked.

"I'm going to Hakushu." Su Xuan replied.

"By the way, I'm going to Hakushu too!" Zhuyu said with a smile.

Zhu Yu knew that Su Xuan went to Baizhou, definitely to deal with the iron matter.

She didn't expect Su Xuan's movements to be so fast.

"If you're going, go ahead, I just don't have a warm bed." Su Xuan said with a smile.

Zhu Yu rolled his eyes.

What does it mean to lack a warm bed?

She didn't want to warm Su Xuan's bed!

But if Su Xuan wants to be tough, she can't be wronged......

It's just to warm the bed, nothing else.

Anyway, Su Xuan, a dead eunuch, can't do anything else.

It's a pity that he is a dead eunuch and can't do anything else......

Zhu Yu didn't want to deal with Su Xuan's meaty words, she asked, "Have you handled the silver?"

"Do I dare to keep it private?" Su Xuan replied.

"Who knows you, you are bold. By the way, how long will it take to go this time?" Zhuyu asked.

"The emperor has decreed that the problem of Hakushu must be resolved within a month." Su Xuan replied truthfully.

"It's going to be half a month less than half a month to get on the road, so you don't have much time."

"I don't think it's time to travel, right?"

Thousands of miles away, although Su Xuan traveled lightly

But Xu Ershou also brought more than 100 people, and there was a certain delay on the road.

The stars and the moon are combined, and before you know it, it is already six days later.

After a tiring journey, Su Xuan and the others could finally see Baizhou City.

Outside the city, two middle-aged men in official uniforms, leading some officials, were waiting for the arrival of the Qincha.

After the carriage approached, Su Xuan stepped out of the carriage.

The two immediately stepped forward to salute.

"Xiaguan Gu Tiannan (Tao Yan), welcome Lord Qincha. Lord Chincha has had a hard time traveling and traveling, and he has worked hard all the way."

Both saluted at the same time.

"The two adults are polite." Su Xuan bowed slightly.

Subsequently, Su Xuan and his entourage followed the two into the city.

In the best restaurant in the city, the two had already prepared a banquet to wash the dust for Su Xuan.

Gu Tiannan is the governor of the southwest and the chief secretary of the political department, from the second rank.

Tao Yan is according to the inspector, is three products.

The southwest zhi refers to the southwest zhili, and Baizhou and Yunzhou are in the southwest direction of the Great Yan Dynasty, and they are both within the jurisdiction of the southwest zhi.

The territory managed by these two people is not small, and the emperor is far away, and they are genuine feudal officials.

"The envoys and the subordinates will arrange them one by one, please rest assured." Gu Tiannan lifted his wine glass.

"There's Lord Laogu." Su Xuan picked up his wine glass and smiled.

"Don't dare, don't dare, Lord Qin sent to Baizhou, just like the emperor came in person, this is my honor." Gu Tiannan said with a smile.

After a glass of wine, Su Xuan squinted his eyes slightly and smiled.

"Two adults, there are often bandits in the southwest, why don't you report it to the imperial court?" Su Xuan asked.

"Your Excellency, you don't know, when the first emperor was in power, we waited to report to the imperial court. It's just, the court one

The matter was not dealt with. I'm helpless to wait......" Gu Tiannan said with a sigh.

"You didn't think about conscripting and suppressing bandits?" Su Xuan asked

Road.

"I thought about it, but the first emperor pursued a policy of resting with the people, and we waited for the imperial court's report, but it has not been approved. We can't make claims and do things that cost the people and money. Although there were bandits in the southwest, they were targeting the caravans coming and going, and they did not offend the common people in the southwest and ...... in the slightest," Gu Dao.

"Take care of the adults, these bandits are robbing the rich and helping the poor?" The smile on Su Xuan's face froze.

Seeing Su Xuan's gloomy expression, the two of them knew that this powerful eunuch, who had already been famous all over the world, had a deep heart like the sea.

"That's not what the lower officials meant, the imperial court sent an adult to eradicate the bandits, and we will fully cooperate!" Gu Dao.

He and Tao Yan glanced at each other.

Tao Yan followed up and said, "The lower officials will fully cooperate to eliminate the bandits."

"Do you know anything about the bandits in Hakushu? How many people do they have? Who is the chief?" Su Xuan asked again.

"This...... There are many mountains in Hakushu, and bandits have been operating in the mountains. I don't know how many of them there are, or who their leaders are." Gu Tiannan replied.

Su Xuan held the wine glass and slowly drank a glass of wine.

Baizhou is bordered by Dazhou in the southwest, and the border between the two countries is rolling mountains.

Since there was no need to worry about the Great Zhou attacking from Baizhou, there was no garrison of the imperial court in Baizhou.

The total number of officers and soldiers in the Baizhou Mansion may not exceed 3,000.

Coupled with what they said before, they do have an excuse to deal with not sending troops

Banditry.

Originally, the two thought that Su Xuan would ask.

But the smile on Su Xuan's face suddenly relaxed.

Su Xuan changed his words and asked with a smile, "These dishes on the table are good, they must be your local specialties?"

Gu Tiannan felt that the pressure was gone, and immediately responded with a smile: "Yes, yes, southwest characteristics, fungus feast." It's time for adults to come, and it's really the season to eat mushrooms. If you come early or late for a while, you won't have this kind of blessing."

"The taste of this mushroom is better than meat, and the taste is very unique, and it is really delicious." Su Xuan nodded with great satisfaction.

"Adults don't know, the fungi on the table are all poisonous......

"Bang~"

"How dare you poison this official!"

The person who said this was Tao Yan, but before he finished speaking, Su Xuan suddenly slapped the table and pretended to be angry.

"Don't be impatient, Lord Tao didn't make it clear. Your Excellency, please be seated!"

Gu Tiannan hurriedly got up and helped Su Xuan sit down.

"Adults don't know that although this fungus is poisonous when eaten raw, after being cooked by our local cook, it is not only non-toxic, but also the most unique delicacy in the world! Look, my lord, both of us ate the same dish as the adults, and if it was poisonous, how could we eat it?" Gu Tiannan explained.

Su Xuan still had an angry look on his face for a while, and asked in disbelief, "Really?"

"Really, my lord, how much have you eaten? However, eating this mushroom feast may indeed cause adverse reactions. If you feel that you have symptoms, you can explain it to your subordinates. There is always an antidote in the restaurant to ensure that adults are safe." Gu Tian

Minami explained.
