Chapter 139 I can’t keep you anymore

On the second day, many government servants came outside the inn, all of whom came from cities and counties near Jiang Town.

Not only that, soldiers from various military stations in Jiangnan Prefecture also came in batches and surrounded the inn.

Deng Yuanchao was the censor from Yanjing, and he had the right to inspect the places he was assigned to.

Now he is the acting governor of Jiangnan, and he is in charge of the military and administrative affairs of the region.

After all, such a big thing happened yesterday. I heard that if it weren't for that unknown hero, Governor Deng would probably be dead. It's not surprising that such a big battle would take place.

Although officials from all over the south of the Yangtze River secretly scolded Deng Yuanchao for being unkind, they were really afraid that something would happen to him in their own places.

One careless move can lead to a big loss of your head.

Without Deng Yuanqiao's words, the officials near Jiangzhen immediately ordered someone to be sent over.

The county magistrate of Jiang Town was unlucky. He came to the inn that night, crying and shouting that it was all a villain who had neglected his duty, and he hoped that he would atone for his sins.

I heard that Deng Yuanqiao only came out to look at him and said coldly, I understand, go back.

If the Jiangzhen County Magistrate hadn't been hindered by the etiquette system, he would have wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Deng Yuanchao, shouting, "Your Majesty, this is a lesson."

Zhao Sheng went out for a walk the next day and found out a few interesting things.

The first is the commander of the Jiangnan capital. He was so angry that he cursed his mother when he found out that officials from all over Jiangzhen were mobilizing guardsmen.

With the great departure from the official system, commanders in various places are in charge of military affairs. It is indeed unkind for those officials to mobilize guardsmen without informing him in advance.

But Deng Yuanchao was the acting governor of Jiangnan. With him around, the Commander-in-Chief could only be the second-in-command in military affairs.

When something happened to the top leader, local officials took the lead in dispatching guards. Although it was against the rules, it was within reason.

And logically speaking, the commander-in-chief should have been more nervous after learning about Deng Yuanchao's assassination. How could he blame those officials?

Unless he is a person who adheres to the laws of the court and is not afraid of the powerful.

But combined with Deng Yuanchao's recent big actions in Jiangnan, Zhao Sheng felt that the bigger reason for his anger was that the acting governor did not die on the spot.

A dead censor is a good censor.

The commander-in-chief of the capital is also a fat bastard, and Jiangnan's officialdom is such a mess. To say that he sticks to his heart and is not corrupt...

That’s not to say it’s impossible, I can only say it’s very slim.

If Deng Yuanchao continues to investigate, it is not impossible to take off his hat.

"The previous commander-in-chief of the capital was a military attaché, and his connections were so complicated that the imperial court couldn't control him, but he was killed by the Longshan Army.

The current commander-in-chief seems to be a civil servant who was transferred from other places only three years ago. He is not a local warlord. If we really push him into a desperate situation, he will not be able to rebel."

Zhao Sheng nodded, feeling a little relieved.

He is not worried that the rebel rebellion will worsen the situation of Dali, which is now crumbling.

It's just that I am still here now, and I am a eunuch in the palace.

If a high-ranking official really rebels, he will definitely sacrifice himself to the flag.

Why is the emperor being bewitched by the eunuchs, and today he vows to clear the emperor's side and kill this beast first... Then something is very wrong.

Since the commander-in-chief did not pose a threat, Zhao Sheng did not take it to heart.

Another interesting thing he heard was that the identity of the big man yesterday was somewhat unclear.

There are people in Jinyiwei who are good at languages ​​​​from various places.

He just heard Yuan Huaji imitating that person's accent and concluded that he was from Dayong, outside the northern border.

"Nearly half of Dayong's territory is in a severely cold place, and its people are so tall. From your description, the thief should be from Dayong."

These are the exact words said by Tiqi, who was born in the Jinyiwei Experience Department.

"Why did Dayong's innate master come all the way to Dali when he was not popular in his own dynasty?

He rushed to take Deng Yuanchao's life as soon as he came. Could it be that he was really sent here? Impossible, he was an innate master!"

Zhao Sheng was quite puzzled.

Zhuang Jingshuo's suggestion that this matter was done by the Golden Python Gang was nonsense, and of course he wouldn't believe it.

And even Zhao Sheng, the most suspected Jiangnan Xu family, doesn’t think they have this ability.

"Unless he came to Dali to do something and pick up an order along the way, that's quite possible."

Zhao Sheng is thoughtful.

Deng Yuanchao was the acting governor of the south of the Yangtze River, but in the eyes of this Yong man, how was he any different from a local chicken or a tile dog?

Just get rid of it when passing by.

"If this is the case, it is most likely that the Xu family did it. Looking at Zhuang Jingshuo's appearance at that time, it is difficult not to doubt that he had nothing to do with it."

Zhao Sheng said to himself.

If this is the case, then it seems that Deng Yuanchao is about to push these court rats into a desperate situation.

That’s why he resorted to such low-level tactics.

If Deng Yuanchao is killed, there will be no Li Yuanchao or Zhang Yuanchao?

This is a squabble in the imperial court, and the Yuzhu Academy is all hard-tempered and will only fight to the death.

Of course, Zhao Sheng just takes the attitude of watching these things.

What he is really worried about is how the assassination case will develop.

After all, Zhuang Jingshuo was absolutely certain that it was the Golden Python Gang.

Fortunately, Zhao Sheng's stay in the palace in recent years was not in vain. On the way from Yanjing to Jiangnan, he secretly placed spies around Zhuang Jingshuo and others.

There must be a reason why Zhuang Jingshuo wants to deal with the Golden Python Gang, Zhao Sheng asked them to inquire more.

It’s just that I haven’t been able to find out yet.

"With his conceited character, he despises me so much.

If you really want to join the Golden Python Gang to deal with me, you will definitely not stop easily."

Zhao Sheng sat on the stool and tapped his fingers on the table.

Another night later, someone knocked on his door, but he quickly walked away.

Zhao Sheng stood up and opened the door, glanced at the ground, and found a small note.

He stepped on it lightly with the soles of his feet, held the note with his true energy, and closed the door as if nothing had happened.

Walk back to the table, bend down again, pick up the note from the sole of the shoe, and unfold it by the candlelight.

After Zhao Sheng read the words on the note, his eyes suddenly became fierce.

"I'm still obsessed with evil."

Zhao Sheng sneered.

The note said that Zhuang Jingshuo concluded that Dayong's innate master was found by the Golden Python Gang, saying that they were suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

He also told Deng Yuanchao that the Golden Python Gang has become more and more powerful in recent years because the remnants of Longshan have joined them, and their rebellious intentions have not diminished, and they must be punished and destroyed!

It's just that Deng Yuanchao didn't seem to believe him. He simply said in a few perfunctory words that the main task now was to investigate the Xu Mansion.

Zhuang Jingshuo stopped talking, but secretly sent people to investigate the Golden Python Gang's lair, hoping to catch them all.

Zhao Sheng lit the note with a candle, and the fire flickered in his eyes.

"I originally wanted to avoid you, but now it seems that I can't keep you."

Zhao Sheng threw the note into the incense burner and watched it burn to ashes, his eyes gradually becoming determined.

He didn't know why Zhuang Jingshuo had to deal with the Golden Python Gang, but if he really went to Jinling to kill Zhou Chu and others, he would definitely involve the Zhao and Wen families.

"At first I thought the Golden Python Gang was just a small gang and it was harmless, but now it seems that I have miscalculated."

Zhao Sheng sighed.

Time has always had the greatest power.

In this world, people can only go with the flow. Only with great power can they change the established direction.

The next day, early morning.

Yu Jiuren delivered the food on time, and Zhao Sheng asked casually.

"Can Qianhu Zhuang have dinner?"

The remaining nine people replied respectfully: "Zhuang Qianhu has something to do and he said he would be out for a few days."
