Liang Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, Shu Tuan, tell me what you are going to do after serving as the chief secretary of Wanghai City?"

Shu Tuan replied solemnly: "Lord, Shu Tuan is in the position of the master book, naturally he has to deal with the Lord of Wanghai City carefully, the subordinates have been thinking about the assassination of the Lord in the past few days, and now they have a superficial opinion, and the subordinates feel that the Lord Tong Juan is quite suspicious in this matter, and now the Lord cultivates Shu Tuan and promotes his subordinates to the position of the master book, and the subordinates will deal more with the Lord Tongju, and secretly check what he wants to do to the Lord Gong." ”

Liang Cheng smiled slightly, thinking that this Shu Tuan's thinking was quite clever, and his expectations were roughly the same, and he deliberately asked: "Why, why do you think that Duan Weicheng is suspicious? ”

Shu Tuan replied: "First of all, my subordinates feel that it is unlikely that the general soldier of Tonghai is the one who planned this assassination, because of the situation that happened in the Xijiao Field at that time, he was presiding over a matter of affairs and waiting for the lord to review it. In this case, why did he choose this time to deal with the lord? This is unreasonable. Therefore, sending someone to assassinate the lord at this juncture should not be instructed by Tonghai, otherwise he will simply be embarrassed by himself. ”

"Well, that's a good point, go ahead. Liang Cheng nodded.

"The second thing is to look at the outcome of this matter and see who the outcome will be in favor of. For example, if the lord encounters an accident, then who benefits the most?" Shu Tuan asked and then analyzed: "As far as his subordinates know, Duan Tongju has been in Wanghai City for more than two hundred years, and when his subordinates did not leave this place, Wanghai City was the one who was judged, after all these years have passed, after his subordinates came back with the lord from Yong'an City, the national capital, Wanghai City is still him, he has been a deputy here for so long, does he have no idea about going further and promoting the city lord?"

Shu Tuan shook his head: "According to his subordinates, this is not the case, in the early years, when his subordinates were still in Wanghai City, Duan Tongju was known for being full of enthusiasm and vigorous and resolute in his work, and he had great hopes of taking over the position of city lord, but unfortunately he has always had bad opportunities, and he always missed the position of city lord. ”

Speaking of this, Shu Tuan concluded: "If something happens to the lord this time, there is no other suitable candidate in the court, and he Duan Weicheng has the greatest chance of coming up, so from the perspective of the possible benefits after this incident, his suspicion is the greatest, not to mention that according to the investigation of his subordinates during this time, Duan Weicheng is very likely to be the person of the third prince, according to the temperament of the third prince, it is very possible to instruct Duan Weicheng to deal with you, and then give the fifth prince eye medicine and stumbling in front of the monarch." ”

Liang Cheng nodded: "Hmm...... Your analysis is very reasonable, then what we should do next is very clear, if we can prevent this person, we will have less trouble in Wanghai City, okay! Let's go, now it's almost time, let's go to the city lord's yamen. ”

Liang Cheng took Shu Tuan out of the house, and when he saw Tonghai who came to escort him, he couldn't help but hold his hand and comfort a few words, expressing his trust in Tonghai, and expressing his gratitude to him for coming to escort him in person today.

Tonghai finally saw the city lord with his own eyes this time, and saw his trust in him, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Tonghai couldn't help but think that although the new city lord Lord Liang was young and senior, his actions were really convincing, and he was always full of trust in himself, where was he like that Duan Moumou, who was always embarrassed by himself.

After the assassination of the city lord this time, he Duan Weicheng took advantage of the topic to play, only for a period of time he has already rectified himself many times openly and secretly, if it were not for the trust of the city lord, he would not know how sad his life would be in the future, whether he could keep the position of the chief military officer of Wanghai City was still a matter of two words.

Thinking of this, Tonghai said to Liang Cheng proudly: "City Lord! My Tonghai is a big boss, I also know that I have a big problem, it can be said that I am covered in pigtails, someone wants to fix me, but I am not afraid! I Tonghai only know that in the future, I will definitely listen to your orders from the City Lord, whatever you say, I will do it, and I will never have two hearts!"

Liang Cheng was very satisfied with Tonghai's attitude, patted him on the shoulder and got into the beast cart, with the city lord's order, five hundred gold-armored attendants under the leadership of Tonghai, the chief military officer of Wanghai City, escorted the new city lord Liang Cheng, and went straight to the city lord's yamen.

Wanghai City was still under curfew before dawn, so there was no sign of people on the street, and the sound of the hooves of the red flame horses pulling the animal carts on the bluestone slabs was particularly crisp.

Liang Cheng and his entourage were illuminated by the soft light of the moonstone lanterns, their clothes and armor were distinct, and they walked along the street towards the yamen.

Although the surrounding shops and houses next to the street heard the movement outside, the people inside were at most curious to get up from their beds and peek through the cracks and window lattices, but no one dared to open the windows to take a closer look.

After a short time, the city lord finally came to the yamen safely under the heavy protection of the guards, and at this time, the lower-level officials had already arrived early, and they began to sort out the things at hand, and the yamen was brightly lit.

Hearing a noise of people and horses outside the yamen, the rumbling wheel of the beast cart ran over the bluestone paved avenue, and then the sound stopped on the side of the road, Duan Weicheng, who was sitting with his eyes closed, hurriedly got up and took several important staff members around him to meet the yamen.

Although the rest of the officials ostensibly performed their own duties, they all turned their eyes to the open door to see what this long-overdue local governor looked like. k

After a period of greetings, Duan Weicheng, the old judge, accompanied a young official in a black satin robe and a black gauze hat into the yamen with a smile.

Seeing that the top boss had entered the yamen, officials of all sizes stood up from their desks one after another to show respect.

"Morning, colleagues!"

The new Wanghai City Lord waved around, and greeted him first with a modest attitude, and everyone hurriedly saluted and greeted him when they saw this, and for a while the yamen was full of voices.

Liang Cheng was introduced by Duan Weicheng, and the main officials of the Wanghai City Lord's Yamen all met their top bosses one by one, and each reported their names, whether the city lord remembered it or not.

Liang Cheng smiled, and took the trouble to nod to these subordinates individually, showing that he had no arrogance and was very patient.

Seeing that the new city lord was full of spring breeze and a modest attitude, all the subordinates couldn't see any feeling of being seriously injured by the stab, and they were all secretly amazed, but they were also relieved, feeling that this boss didn't seem to be a mean and difficult person.

It seems that everyone's life will not be too sad in the future, and I am afraid that it will still return to the previous state of slow swallowing, relaxed and simple.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for the introduction to be completed, the lord of the city arrived at the main seat and sat down, looked around, and then opened his mouth to say something that everyone did not expect.

"Ladies and gentlemen, when this official first arrived in Wanghai City, he made a private visit to the city and outside the city for a period of time, and all he saw was a very bad scene, the fields were barren, the fang market was withered, the public order was poor, and the people's livelihood was hard.

The officials all turned pale when they heard this, and their hearts were not good, the city lord didn't even say polite words, and he came up and began to accuse everyone of their mistakes, and the words were so heavy that they didn't leave any room at all, I am afraid that something big will happen today, Duan Weicheng bore the brunt of this general judgment, but he didn't expect that the new boss began to make trouble as soon as he finished his kind words, and his face suddenly became very ugly, and he suddenly looked very embarrassed when he stood there.

Duan Weicheng sneered: "City Lord, we ......"

Duan Tong was sentenced to be calm and impatient, and waited for the official to finish speaking. ”

Liang Cheng interrupted Duan Weicheng mercilessly, and then said: "The location of Wanghai City, there is no need for this official to say more, everyone should have known it a long time ago, we are on the front line of the confrontation between the human race and the sea clan, if there is any change in the sea clan, first of all, our Wanghai City will suffer, with the current situation, if the situation of the two clans really happens, what are your plans? Which one knows in his heart, you can stand up and tell this official now!"

The officials below all looked at each other, thinking that according to the detailed investigation, the Sea Clan's side is not the same lax, they have been peaceful for thousands of years, why would the two sides fight, that is, there is really a war between the two clans, and it is not a matter of overnight for the Sea Clan, and the preparations in advance are also very complicated.

As far as the Sea Tribes are concerned, if they want to start a war, should they allocate materials before the war, should they organize mobilization among the generals and soldiers participating in the war, should they investigate the news and intelligence?

What's more, the eyeliner bought in the Sea Clan and the officials guarding Wanghai City are not a group of dummies, will they not be able to detect these situations at that time? As long as there is any change on the side of the Sea Clan, it will definitely be discovered in detail, and it will not be too late for Wanghai City to prepare at that time, so why bother with mediocrity now.

It's just that no one dares to say this kind of words, which are similar to hitting their bosses in the court, let alone stand up and talk about what plans to talk about, and then suggest how the city lord should deal with it easily.

Doing so was simply asking for trouble, and I didn't know how much I was doing, so everyone was helpless, so we had to lower our heads and let the boss reprimand them.

The more Liang Cheng spoke, the more angry he became, and he said loudly: "What is the reason for this unfavorable situation?

Saying that, he stretched out his hand, and everyone's eyes followed, only to see Wang Su, the lord of Wanghai City, standing on the ground with a pale face, and seeing the lord of the city pointing at him, he couldn't help but look dazed, and he didn't know what to say.
