Prefect Deng frowned and scolded, "How dare you question the prince?"
Qu Yutang really thought he was blind and would not let anyone monitor him.
He actually sent someone to deliver the letter right under his nose.
Although the guards hid here and there in an attempt to sneak out, their hiding was completely ineffective and was no different from going out openly.
This personal bodyguard was quite smart and was planning to climb over the city wall in the middle of the night.
Unfortunately, it is not easy to get out of the new city wall, and the royal guards he met were more powerful than his personal bodyguards.
Wasn't he caught back?
Shen Yong handed the secret letter to the prefect Deng next to him, and looked at his personal guard with a smile.
"What do you think?"
The personal guard ignored what Magistrate Deng said and looked at Shen Yong carefully with his big eyes.
They look alike, very similar.
They look exactly the same.
But the aura around him is definitely different from the wretched feeling he had before.
He really couldn't believe that such a dandy boy would become like this.
"You want to rebel?!"
The personal guard held it in for a long time, then looked directly at Shen Yong and asked.
Shen Yong curled his lips and smiled, "What do you mean by rebellion?"
"Who says that the world must belong to Emperor Tianwu? Of course, it belongs to the capable."
"I'm just taking back what belongs to me. I deserve it!"
The personal guard's eyes widened in shock, his whole body trembling with fear.
He didn't expect Shen Yong to admit so bluntly that he wanted to rebel.
"you......"
The guard opened his mouth, looked at the aura surrounding Chen Yong, and dared not say a word of the birdsong and the fragrance of flowers that were about to come to his mouth.
Chen Yong glanced at the guard indifferently.
"Take them away and lock them up together."
"Yes." Magistrate Deng nodded and waved to the bailiff at the door.
The guard collapsed to the ground, his face ashen as death, and was dragged out by the bailiffs.
The martial arts that he was proud of were not good enough in Qianhuang City.
He really couldn't understand why there were so many imperial guards in Qianhuang City.
Some of them were even imperial guards, so he had no room to resist.
What's the use of resisting? All of them are under Shen Yong's nose and can be manipulated by him at will.
They are imperial envoys who came to inspect on behalf of the emperor. Shen Yong has decided to rebel, so they are enemies.
It goes without saying what the consequences will be if we fall into the hands of the enemy.
Thinking of this, the guard closed his eyes in despair.
After watching the imperial guards being dragged out, Governor Deng looked at Chen Yong.
"Your Highness, most of Qu Yutang's men are imprisoned."
"He currently has 61 officials under his command. These officials are taking turns working for the people at the city gate in exchange for food."
Speaking of this, Magistrate Deng wanted to laugh.
He didn't expect that those officials were so hungry that they would be willing to sacrifice their face.
I thought these officials would steal food from the cook.
He had arranged people nearby, and if these officers dared to cause trouble, they would be arrested directly.
Now, the supervisors all welcome the officials to come to work, so it is difficult for him to arrest those people.
The land at the city gate really needs some strong laborers to help, otherwise who knows when those pits can be filled.
It is said that the several overseers of that piece of land are now all eagerly waiting for the officials to come and work. After they finish taking over the fat overseer's land, they will prepare to seize him and move him to their own territory.
"Heh~" Chen Yong tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and smiled.
"Then let them continue to work. As long as they work honestly, there's no need to bother with them."
Otherwise, putting these people in jail would be a waste of manpower.
Magistrate Deng smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Yes."
"At least the officers have some strength, so they can do their job well."
Construction is going on everywhere in the city now, and strong labor is in short supply.
He has already sent a letter to Governor Liu in Bailong City.
Ask Magistrate Liu to send some strong laborers to build the house.
There are so many houses to build that he wishes he could bring all the people from Bailong City here.
However, there is no place to live now, so we can only ask Magistrate Liu to invite some gentlemen to come over.
The weather was neither too cold nor too hot. The men could just pull up a piece of board to sleep outside, or jump into the creek to take a bath.
But it’s not the same for women. They need to be provided with accommodation and places to take a shower and go to the toilet.
He really has no place to put it.
All the houses in the expanded villages had to be demolished and rebuilt, making it difficult to arrange living quarters.
Shen Yong smiled, “As for Qu Yutang… wait for him to come.”
He is an old acquaintance in the capital, so he has to meet him in person.
It was strange that Emperor Tianwu sent someone here. He arranged for the few upright people in the capital to come here.
Yes, there was a drought on the way to Qianhuang City, and only those with a little power and cunning would not want to come here to suffer.
This good thing fell on Qu Yutang, the big wronged guy.
It’s not that Qu Yutang is so upright and incorruptible that he would not embezzle or anything like that, but compared to those cunning officials in Beijing, he is considered a more decent person.
I won't kick someone when they're down, nor will I help or protect them. Just let things be as they are.
.......
"Sir, no one has returned yet."
The chief officer stood in front of Qu Yutang with a frown on his face, feeling somewhat uneasy.
More than a hundred people went out, but only those who were working came back. None of those who went to inquire about the news came back after a whole night. Something is wrong.
