The Yamen servant took a look at the waist badge and immediately felt that the waist badge in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds. Although there was no clear affiliation between Zuo Wei and the guarding envoy Yamen, the man in front of him was a fourth-grade military attache from the Liang Dynasty, far more powerful than himself.
Xu Zhen, the chief envoy in the yamen behind him, and not to mention the official position, just the two words "Chen Chao" were enough to make them take it very seriously. This was a golden gift from His Majesty the Emperor.
There were so many warriors in the Liang Dynasty who had the power to wield swords, but only one had this honor.
Even when the general removed his armor and returned home, he was not given such an honor.
The yamen officer gingerly handed his waist card back to the young warrior in front of him. He no longer wanted to inform Chen Chao or not, and was about to welcome Chen Chao in.
Chen Chao followed him into the guard's yamen and asked casually: "Is Xu Xuanshan in there?"
I had heard Commander Chen in front of me tell him to get out of their guard, Xu Zhen. He had been a poor government servant for several years and thought that it was probably because his lord had not done something properly that he had caused this incident.
Such a commander made the Lord very angry, but he also knew that it seemed that his own Governor was under the jurisdiction of the Governor over there in the state capital, and had nothing to do with Commander Chen who came from the capital city.
After all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. He still knows this simple truth.
The yamen servant said cautiously: "Master Xu went to the state capital to report on his duties, but he should be back today. Our lord has done his job well, and the people around him are full of praise. Commander Chen will wait a moment, and I will cook for you right away."
Serve a pot of fine spring tea."
Chen Chao squinted his eyes, looked at the lively government servant, and asked thoughtfully: "Do you do your job well? Are you full of praise?"
The yamen servant did not dare to look directly at the commander who was much younger than him. He just said bravely: "That's exactly it."
As a close subordinate of Xu Xuanshan, he received a lot of favors from Xu Xuanshan on weekdays. No matter what he said now, he had to help his master to say all the good things.
Chen Chao came to the lobby and said casually: "Bring me the archives of the past few years and take a look at them."
The yamen servant was a little embarrassed and reminded him softly: "Sir, according to Daliang law..."
As the garrison of Gushan County, Xu Xuanshan's superior is the garrison of Huanglong Prefecture. Although Chen Chao is the commander of the left guard and is of the garrison lineage, he has no control over Xu Xuanshan. According to Daliang law, he did not check the files.
power. Unless the current commander carries the official document of the garrison envoy, but the garrison envoy has been transferred to the north and became the current general, there is no garrison envoy in the Liang Dynasty now.
Chen Chao calmly said: "Do you want me to take out the imperial edict and show it to you?"
Hearing the two words of the imperial edict, the Yamen servant dared not say anything, but he was horrified. The commander in front of him was rumored to be the popular person in front of His Majesty the Emperor. It was indeed so. Now that he left the capital of the gods, he must have carried out His Majesty's decree.
When he came, the yamen servant no longer hesitated, nodded immediately, ran out of the lobby, and went to the warehouse to look for files, but at this moment he couldn't help but make his master sweat.
As an official in Daliang Dynasty, who doesn't have shit in his crotch? If the commander is determined to cause trouble for his master today, then I guess his master is really in danger.
Although it is said that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, this is not true when the person in front of me has His Majesty's will.
After the yamen officer found the files, he cooked a pot of spring tea for Chen Chao, and then waited on the side. "Don't look at me. Go to the gate of the county and wait for your master. If you see him, tell him to come and see me."
"
Chen Chao flipped through the files in his hands and spoke without raising his head.
If the yamen officer was granted amnesty, he quickly ran out of the yamen. Instead of staying here, he would rather go to the city gate and wait for his lord. This would at least explain the situation and let his lord make preparations in advance.
…
…
After a stick of incense, at the gate of the county city, Xu Xuanshan, dressed in official robes, rode into the city. The governor of Gushan County was tall, with a fleshy face. He didn't look like a governor, but like a mountain king who occupies the mountain as the king.
.
He was riding into the city when he suddenly saw a familiar figure at the city gate. After reining in his horse and stopping, he looked at the yamen servant with some displeasure, "Xu Jing, if you are not on duty at the yamen, what are you doing here?"
A government official who also had the same surname as Xu but was not related to Xu Xuanshan said in a low voice: "Sir, someone is coming from above."
Xu Xuanshan frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I just came back from the state capital. How can Mr. Liu Zhenzhen be in my office?"
Xu Jing smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, I am the lord of Shendu, the deputy commander of Zuowei, Chen Chao."
Hearing this familiar but unfamiliar name, Xu Xuanshan was startled. This young military attache was now very famous among the military attaches up and down the Liang Dynasty. Naturally, he had heard about it. He had learned that this young military attache had already obtained the right to carry a sword.
Afterwards, he even complained a few times in private.
It is really puzzling that His Majesty takes so seriously at such a young age.
"Tell me carefully."
Although Xu Xuanshan looked five big and three thick, his thoughts were different from his appearance. He was very delicate. At this moment, he had already noticed that something was wrong.
Xu Jing said in a low voice: "That lord seems a little dissatisfied, sir. He told the lord to come and see him as soon as he opened his mouth. But he seems to have a will in his body. He is currently looking through the files in the Yamen. Sir, you should make plans early."
When Xu Xuanshan heard this, his frowned brows relaxed a little at this moment. Xu Xuanshan put his heart back in his stomach and said expressionlessly: "It seems that some guys said some nonsense to the higher-ups, which made His Majesty unhappy."
Xu Jing was a little frightened and asked: "Sir, His Majesty's decree has been carried out, is it not a trivial matter?"
Xu Xuanshan sneered and said: "Your Majesty must be reasonable. First of all, I have not plotted to usurp the throne, and secondly, I have not been corrupt or bribery. Do you think I will kill you when Your Majesty says to kill me?"
Xu Jing was still uneasy after hearing this.
"Let's go, let me go and see what this famous warrior from the Liang Dynasty looks like."
Xu Xuanshan rode into the city and deliberately strolled in a long circle before returning to the guard's Yamen.
After getting off his horse, the Gushan County garrison slowly walked into the Yamen and came to the lobby.
At this moment, Chen Chao had already read the files of Gushan County in the past few years and drank the spring tea that was sent to him.
Seeing the Governor Xu walk in, Chen Chao did not get up. He just sat on the seat that originally belonged to Xu Xuanshan and looked down at the Governor of Gushan County.
Xu Xuanshan smiled and said: "I have always heard of Commander Chen's name before. When I see him today, he is really brave!"
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Xu Xuanshan's move can be regarded as a sufficient courtesy.
Chen Chaopi said with a smile: "I just checked the files of Gushan County over the years and found that Mr. Xu has really killed a lot of monsters over the years. With this achievement, he is actually more than enough to be the guardian of Huanglong Prefecture.
, why are you still holding on to this three-thirds of an acre of land?"
Xu Xuanshan didn't move and just smiled and said: "You have to do the same thing in one post. Since the lower official is the local guardian, he naturally has to eliminate harm for the people. As for the official position, he doesn't care much. Besides, the lower official
If we leave, I will be really worried about how the new garrison will treat the people of this county."
"Anyway, if you have merit, you should be rewarded. If you have merit, you should not be rewarded, and if you are wrong, you should not be punished. This is not the style of the imperial court."
Chen Chao said with a smile: "When I return to the capital of the gods, I will give your majesty some advice so that Mr. Xu can be promoted as soon as possible."
Xu Xuanshan frowned. He could naturally tell that the words in front of him were not as simple as they seemed. He didn't speak for a while, just waiting for Chen Chao's next words.
"I have been walking all the way and found the so-called demon king wandering around Gushan County. Why didn't I see Mr. Xu?"
When it came to the demon king, Xu Xuanshan was also aware of it, but he just said calmly: "The demon king in the mountains has these casual cultivators to kill, and the official is naturally happy to see it happen. If he has this energy, it is better to kill some monsters that no one cares about.
No matter how big or small the monster is, when it comes to eating people, they are all the same."
Chen Chao nodded and said: "Ambassador Xu is really concerned about the country and the people. It seems that the position of the envoy should be filled by Ambassador Xu."
Even a fool can understand the meaning behind these words.
The young warrior in front of him had a sword hidden in his smile, which seemed a little different from the rumors.
But when Xu Xuanshan thought about this young martial artist's past experience, he was a little unsure.
Xu Xuanshan frowned and said with some displeasure: "I wonder what command Commander Chen has brought. If you bring it out earlier, your subordinates can receive it."
Chen Chao shook his head and said bluntly: "I fooled them. Your Majesty has no intention for me."
Xu Xuanshan became furious in an instant, "Chen Chao, do you know what the crime is of falsely conveying imperial edicts? If I try to cheat on you, I'm afraid you will have to live with it!"
Chen Chao stood up and said with a smile: "Guardian Xu, don't be so angry. Is this how you treat Shangguan?"
"Commander Chen, although you have a higher rank than me, there is no subordinate relationship between Zuowei and me!"
Xu Xuanshan was indifferent, but at this moment, he was a little unclear as to what the young martial artist in front of him meant.
He was just wondering if he had some leverage being grasped by the young warrior in front of him, who was here to blackmail him for some benefits.
Chen Chao sighed and said: "It seems that the envoy of Xu Zhen is not very welcoming to me."
Xu Xuanshan said coldly: "If Commander Chen is just passing by, I should treat him with courtesy. But if Commander Chen wants to be a bad guest, then I am not a soft persimmon who can be bullied."
Chen Chao nodded and said with a smile: "That's the truth."
"Well, now that things have happened, I don't want to go around in circles with Governor Xu. I came here this time to borrow something from Governor Xu."
Chen Chao looked at Xu Xuanshan, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Xu Xuanshan frowned and said, "What does Commander Chen want to borrow?"
Chen Chao laughed softly and said, "I want to borrow Xu Zhen's head to wear on his neck."
