Chapter 109:
Tell the truth?
After hearing Wei Changtian suddenly say this, everyone looked at each other and temporarily shut up.
Chen Bo asked hesitantly, "Sir, what do you mean by this?"
"hehe."
Wei Changtian smiled, looked at Chen Bo and asked, "Master Chen, you have been in Shuzhou for nearly twenty years, and the position of governor has not been moved for nearly ten years."
"yes……"
Chen Bo nodded bitterly, and then listened to Wei Changtian continue:
"Master Chen, everyone, you all have the opportunity to take another step forward."
"To be honest, although I was exiled to Shuzhou this time, I actually shoulder the heavy trust of my family."
"This matter is very secret, and my father is not in a position to tell you directly. You just need to know that it is of great importance."
"And if I want to accomplish this, I must borrow the power in your hands. It's not that I have any ideas about the Shuzhou branch... Do you understand what I mean?"
“…”
Chen Bo widened his eyes slightly: "Sir, I wonder what it is..."
"I told you, this is a very secret matter."
Wei Changtian took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "But don't worry, I'm definitely not asking you to rebel."
"Young Master, you are joking..."
Chen Bo smiled awkwardly, feeling mixed emotions.
It seems that Wei Changtian wants to borrow their knives to do something, and it is something that cannot be put on the table.
Although the Xuan Jing Division has done many such things, Wei Changtian is, after all, a man who dares to kill the prime minister. Who knows what kind of trouble he will cause this time.
And if the mess they make is too big, they will all be in trouble.
But where there is risk there is reward...
"My Lords, please lend me a helping hand..."
Wei Changtian looked around at everyone seriously and said sincerely, "As long as you are willing to help me complete this task, I guarantee that everyone will be promoted by at least two ranks in three years."
"Master Chen, you can return to the capital with me then."
"Return to Beijing..."
Of course Chen Bo understood what he meant and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
This is what he has been thinking about day and night.
In order to prevent local clan forces from becoming too powerful, all important local officials in Daning had to be "posted in other places."
So although he said he had lived very comfortably in Shuzhou over the years, in fact he had long since had enough.
It's not that he hadn't thought about transferring back to the capital, but the "transfer requests" he submitted every year all fell on deaf ears with no response, which made Chen Bo more and more helpless. At one point he thought he would have to spend the rest of his life in Shuzhou.
But now, the opportunity has finally come...
It has to be said that Wei Changtian's promise was indeed very attractive to Chen Bo.
He hesitated for a long time, then suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Wei Changtian.
"Master Wei, no matter what, we are all willing to obey your orders!"
Seeing that the boss had expressed his opinion, the others did not hesitate and immediately stood up and bowed:
"I am willing to obey your orders!"
“Hahaha, okay!”
Wei Changtian did not put on airs this time. He stood up and returned the greetings to everyone, saying, "Don't worry, I'm a man of my words and I won't let you down!"
"We will never let you down, sir!"
“…”
A bunch of people exchanged some heroic words, and the atmosphere in the room finally became relaxed and cheerful for the first time.
Regardless of whether what these people said was true or false, at least on the surface they were obeying Wei Changtian.
"Sir, what are we going to do next?"
After sitting down again, Chen Bo said seriously: "Just give me your orders!"
"Hahaha, Master Chen, there's no need to be so nervous."
Wei Changtian waved his hand and smiled, "There is only one thing at the moment... I wonder how much you know about the Xuantian Society?"
"Xuantian Society..."
Chen Bo raised his eyes and looked at a middle-aged man, who immediately stood up.
It was none other than the captain of the Buyi Guards, Wang Daochang, who was introduced earlier.
"Reply, young master!"
The man clasped his fist towards Wei Changtian and said in a deep voice: "The scale of the Xuantian Society in Shuzhou is not very large. There are about 2,000 gang members, divided into five branches..."
"The incense master's name is Bai Shengan, and his strength is at the fifth level..."
“…”
Wang Daochang quickly recounted the situation of the Xuantian Society's Shuzhou branch. Wei Changtian listened carefully and then asked:
"Does the Xuanjing Division have any secret agents in the Xuantian Society?"
"have!"
"Well then... Lord Wang, please help me check something."
Wei Changtian pondered for a moment and instructed: "In the next few days, an important figure from the Xuantian Society may come to Shuzhou from the capital. His name is Xiao Feng."
"This person is about six feet tall, often carries a black sword, and has an ordinary appearance."
"I will give you a portrait of this person later... but he will most likely use an alias and disguise himself."
"This Xiao Feng is very important. He is directly related to the success or failure of what I do. Please find him, Lord Wang."
"Don't worry, sir! I will definitely find this Xiao Feng!"
Wang Daochang patted his chest and promised, then tried to ask: "But how do you plan to deal with this person, sir?"
"Just surveillance? Or are we going to capture or kill them?"
Just forget it.
If you guys can capture or kill Xiao Feng, I will tear my head off and let you kick it like a ball.
As long as I can find out, I'll be satisfied.
Wei Changtian complained silently in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged as he said, "Just monitor, don't act rashly."
"I understand!"
Wang Daochang responded and sat back in his seat. After everyone chatted for a while, Chen Bo prepared to leave.
In addition to the box of account books, they also brought a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, but Wei Changtian didn't want them. He only left a few red fire signs representing the highest alert level in case of emergency.
Upon seeing the fire, all the officers of the Xuan Jing Division would immediately rush to the scene of the incident. Its function was similar to that of the ancestral jade in the main yamen.
"Sir, we will go back first. If you have anything to say, just send someone to inform the office."
At the gate of the mansion, Chen Bo and others were very satisfied with the result of this visit, and their faces no longer had the nervousness they had when they came.
"Okay, I won't see you off."
Wei Changtian stopped and said casually as if he suddenly remembered something: "Oh, I almost forgot one thing."
"Sir, please speak." Chen Bo immediately stopped.
“It’s not a big deal.”
Wei Changtian smiled and said calmly, "Master Chen, when you came here, the carriage was running too fast and knocked down a vendor selling candied haws at the corner of the alley... Did you know?"
"this……"
Chen Bo was stunned for a moment, but reacted quickly, and said hurriedly: "Sir, this matter is our negligence. I will send someone to deal with the vendor immediately. I will never..."
"What do you do when you kill people?"
Wei Changtian glanced over and said, "You guys have come to me with such a big fuss, are you afraid of being seen by others?"
"That……"
Chen Bo's eyes rolled and he understood.
Master Wei, who has killed countless people for love, has suddenly shown kindness! "I understand, Master. After we find the merchant, we will double his compensation for his losses. We will never..."
"Master Chen, you still don't understand."
Wei Changtian shook his head and interrupted Chen Bo, then reached out and patted him gently on the shoulder.
"What I mean is that next time you come, please drive the carriage slower."
"Or just park farther away and walk over. It's only a few steps away anyway."
"Do you understand this time?"
“…”
The smile on Chen Bo's face froze instantly, and his body seemed to be slapped shorter by Wei Changtian.
"Sir, I understand, I understand."
