What is this place?! This is Rongcheng, not the capital where they can do whatever they want! These dandies have to abide by the rules when they come here.
What about investigating the case
What a joke. Telling them to investigate is giving them face.
But they really didn't know their place and investigated the matter all the way to the Governor's Office.
The clerk swallowed his saliva and said, "Look at their behavior. It's true that if we don't hand them over, they will force their way in!"
The chief of the imperial guards found it ridiculous and could not help but get angry: "This is ridiculous! They dare to break in? Let them try!"
What a crime it is to disturb a second-rank provincial governor while he is at work!
Even though the imperial envoy had the duty of supervision, he did not have the ability and power to do anything to the highest official of a province.
The clerk thought that the chief of the imperial guards might not have understood what was going on, so he hurriedly explained: "Sir! They have made it very clear that they only want Mr. Hu and have no intention of offending our department. What else can they say? They are thinking about the reputation of our Governor's Office. If it is really not Mr. Hu, it can be regarded as clearing the Governor's Office of suspicion..."
He was afraid that this hot-tempered chief of the guards would say something to interrupt him, so he explained without stopping: "Also, there are so many people outside who are watching the fun that they have surrounded the Governor's Mansion. If we don't hand Mr. Hu over, I'm afraid we will incur public anger... ... And by then, the people will have no idea what they will think of us."
This is outrageous!
The chief guard coughed and said, "I'll go out and take a look."
Just as he was about to turn around, there was a noise under the eaves. The door creaked open, and the servant next to Liu Biping came out and said to them, "Don't make a fuss. Just let them take them away."
The chief of the personal guards could not help but shout, "Minister!"
The person who came out waved at him and just sneered: "Without definite evidence, Shen Chen will not come to arrest people, let him do it."
But if that happens, where will the Governor's Office save its reputation
The head of the imperial guards was full of confusion and anger, but he finally held back his anger and waved his hand to the clerk, "Then please ask the imperial envoy to come in and bring Mr. Hu out."
He waited for the clerk to turn around and do his work, then he could not help but walked in and bowed to Liu Biping: "Minister, you knew Shen Chen was coming for you... Why did you agree to let him take Mr. Hu away? If he takes him away, then Mr. Hu..."
Liu Biping took the soaked handkerchief from the maid and covered his face with it. He sighed before pulling it off and throwing it into the basin. He glanced at the head of the personal guard casually and said, "Since they want to investigate and you are an angel, how can you justify not letting them investigate?"
After all, the war in Zhejiang is now coming to an end, and the court's offensive is going smoothly.
In addition, in Jiujiang, the Prince of Linjiang had also calmed down and began to further kill the Prince of Jin. The situation in the court was very good.
At this moment, there is no way to confront Shen Chen head-on - he is no longer the same in the court, and there is no big tree to shelter him from the wind and rain.
The chief of the personal guard still couldn't understand: "But if this happens, where will our governor's office put its face..."
"What does it have to do with the Governor's Office?" Liu Biping looked at him coldly, his face still as calm as ever: "Shen Chen's investigation has only reached Mr. Hu. Do you want to investigate me?"
That would require Shen Chen to have the ability to get Mr. Hu to say this.
The chief guard responded in a sullen voice.
Mr. Hu on the other end was not just depressed, he just felt a dull pain in his chest and almost couldn't stand steadily. After all, he just wanted to rise to the top, and a bright future was what he longed for and pursued.
But now that Mr. Xu has betrayed him, what bright future can he have
He knew very well that once he went to Shen Chen, he would have no way out - he could not give Liu Biping away... Otherwise, not only would he die alone, but his relatives and friends would also be implicated.
But if he doesn't give Liu Biping away, it means he will have to bear the blame...
He swallowed hard, then began to dry heave because he was too nervous.
The clerk was watching from outside and cautiously advised: "Sir, please relax. Things may not be that bad..."
Mr. Hu didn't even look at him. His fingers turned white from pulling his clothes too hard. It took him a long time to stand steady by holding on to the table. He took another look at the furnishings in the room and sighed faintly, "Let's go."
Now that things have come to this, we can’t just be afraid and end it.
He has reached the edge of the cliff and can only think of ways to save the situation.
The clerk replied, "Yes," and respectfully led him out to the front courtyard. He then turned around and looked at Han Bo indifferently, "Sir, the person has been brought to you."
Han Bo knew that he had already made enemies with the Governor's Office, but he didn't feel anything - they were enemies and would fall out sooner or later, so he didn't take these people seriously at all.
He hummed, tilted his head back and looked at people through his nose, turned around and nodded to the Jinyiwei, then swaggered and escorted Mr. Hu back to the inn.
At the same time, the clerk had already trotted back to the signing room and told Liu Biping the news.
The chief of the imperial guards hesitated to speak, his palms were covered with sticky sweat, making him feel suffocated and uncomfortable. After a moment, he asked Liu Biping: "Master, should we just let it go?"
Liu Biping had already washed his face. He took a sip of the ginseng soup and immediately felt relaxed. He rested for a while before saying, "Of course we can't just let it go. If we just let it go, Rongcheng will have to change its name to Shen in the future."
The chief of the imperial guards was relieved - he knew that his minister was not the kind of person who would willingly be bullied. Now that they had already stepped on his face, how could he allow them to be so presumptuous
He sneered: "It's time to teach them a lesson and let them know who has the final say in Rong City."
The clerk also echoed: "That's right, the imperial envoy is arrogant, but even his servants are arrogant and look down on others, and they even instigated the people to make trouble. It's really hateful."
Liu Biping laughed coldly.
He didn't want to openly offend Shen Chen. After all, Shen Chen was doing well now.
But aren’t accidents the most common thing in this world
There are always exceptions to everything.
As soon as Shen Chen arrived in Rongcheng, something happened. He also arrested people from the four major families. Even if someone was seeking revenge, it was normal. Who made Shen Chen so arrogant and didn't know how to restrain himself? He made such a big fuss, which was obviously showing off. You know, if you show off too much, it is easy to attract hatred and revenge.
