Liu Biping didn't want to tolerate Shen Chen to continue making trouble like this.
He originally thought that there was still time. After Shen Chen's reputation was completely ruined, he could find a reason to get rid of him. The best way would be to leave no traces.
But after these few encounters, he has already realized that Shen Chen is an extremely difficult character to deal with.
He has status, but he doesn't care about it; he has ability, but he knows how to hide it. Not everyone has such skills, but Shen Chen has mastered it to perfection, and he is so smart that he doesn't look like a child raised in a royal palace.
It's too tiring to fight with such people.
Especially since Shen Chen brought three thousand guards with him, the total number of manpower was quite considerable. After all, the garrison in his governor's office was only five thousand.
With someone in hand, when Shen Chen feels that it is enough, he can find a reason to kill him. Doesn't that mean he can do it at any time? This risk is too great, and he will never take it.
Since Shen Chen wanted him to die, he let Shen Chen escape earlier.
After the clerk finished his words of instigation, he stood aside obediently waiting for instructions. He knew that his minister was a man of his word, and since he said he would teach Shen Chen a lesson, then he would really teach him a lesson.
All they have to do as servants is wait for orders.
The chief of the personal guards also stood aside waiting for Liu Biping's orders.
Liu Biping's spirit was getting worse and worse. The chief guard felt uncomfortable watching this - the worse the Japanese pirates fought, the greater the pressure on Liu Biping.
What they were doing in the beginning was the business of the Japanese pirates and those pirates. Those people had no sense of loyalty at all. Once they were caught, Liu Biping would be in a passive position because of the consequences.
Recently, Liu Biping has not had a full night's sleep for many days because he was caught between the imperial court and the war in Zhejiang. He can only rely on ginseng soup to stay awake every day.
If this continues, his own body won't be able to hold on.
Because of this reason, the chief of the royal guards hated Shen Chen and his men even more for causing trouble at this time. He wished they could die immediately to reduce the trouble.
Liu Biping sat quietly thinking for a while, then suddenly looked up at the chief guard and asked him: "Over there... those people from the Wei family..."
The eldest lady of the Wei family and her children are all in Quanzhou, which is only a day's journey from Rongcheng. Although the prefect of Quanzhou is not very obedient, these people are always being closely watched under Liu Biping's nose.
The chief of the imperial guards immediately understood what he meant and quickly responded, "Don't worry, I've been watching you the whole time. I've been staying in Quanzhou without moving."
"Then let them move." Liu Biping took a sip of the ginseng soup, rubbed his aching eyes with his hands, and said coldly: "Shen Chen has nothing to do, so he is looking for trouble everywhere. Doesn't he like to hang around Princess Shouning? Then find something for Princess Shouning to do, and let Princess Shouning be busy, and he will naturally be busy too."
The clerk beside him nodded carefully and said, "Mr. Minister, what you mean is..."
He pondered for a while before saying, "Should we mobilize the people over there to lure Princess Shouning over there?"
Liu Biping had already put down his cup. Seeing that the clerk and the chief guard were both leaning forward and waiting for his reply seriously, he nodded and said, "Since they want to find something for me to do, let them get what they want."
He had too much to do and didn't want to play hide-and-seek with Shen Chen anymore.
He coughed, motioned the clerk to find him a pen and paper, and wrote a few words on the paper. He looked at the chief guard and asked, "Understood?"
These things were all done with ease in the past. The head of the personal guard understood the words on the paper as soon as he saw them. After a moment of hesitation, he became a little excited for no reason and nodded hurriedly: "The minister should have done this a long time ago. In this way, with the help of others... ... we can also eliminate the hidden danger for ourselves."
The clerk stretched his head in confusion. Before he could react, he heard Liu Biping making a gesture to keep quiet and he quickly stopped talking.
"Some things don't need to be said out loud, just know it in your heart." Liu Biping glanced at the chief of the personal guards, then slowly leaned back into his chair and gave him an order: "Go and do it. Don't let anything happen. I want their lives."
The chief of the guards agreed immediately.
The clerk was at a loss for words and could not help asking, "Minister, what about Mr. Hu..."
"You will go to Mr. Hu later and ask them if they have finished their questioning. If the case is over, they should hand the suspect over to us." Liu Biping's eyes were cold with a hint of sarcasm. "Don't let anything go wrong. Mr. Hu still has a lot of things to do."
The clerk still didn't quite understand, but seeing Liu Biping's expression, he knew that he just had to do as he was told. He immediately agreed without hesitation, packed up his things, left, and set off for the posthouse.
On the way there, he began to guess what his Lord Minister meant. Mr. Hu was a favorite of his Lord Minister, at least in the near future. He didn't know what Mr. Hu had done for his Lord Minister, and whether he would reveal any key information... ..
But on second thought, the Minister is definitely not someone who would make mistakes easily. He is always sure about what he wants to do. Since he dared to let Mr. Hu come to the post station, he was sure that Mr. Hu would not be able to say anything.
After thinking about it for a while, he arrived at the post house in the blink of an eye. He got off the sedan chair, handed in the invitation under the escort of several personal soldiers from the Governor's Mansion, and waited outside the post house.
When there was a response from inside, and seeing that it was Han Bo who came out, he sniffed and asked condescendingly: "The officer said before that he wanted to borrow our Mr. Hu to ask a few questions, but I wonder if he has finished asking now? We still have many things in our mansion that we need to rely on Mr. Hu to solve when he returns. If he has already asked, please do us a favor and bring the person back to us."
Han Bo crossed his arms and looked at him, saying unhappily, "Not yet! This is not buying vegetables on the street, this is a trial, how can the result come out so quickly? Do you think you are going to the street to have a drink, and it's over in one go!"
Han Bo never cared much about other people's face when speaking, especially when this person repeatedly caused trouble for him and his master. He was in a bad mood at the moment, so what he said was particularly unacceptable.
The clerk was so angry that he almost said something unpleasant, but he still held back and said coldly: "What can we do? The matter in the government office is extremely urgent and can't be delayed. The adults from Zhejiang came to borrow grain. Mr. Hu is in charge of this matter. The documents are in his hands. If he doesn't go back, this matter will not be completed. If it is not completed... ... it will be difficult to report to the superiors."
