The son of the Minister of Hubu has no official title and real power, but he can dominate and boss around Ziyang City. Isn't this a great tragedy for the Daqian court?

The imperial court is in chaos, and cronies are working against each other. Outside the temple, local officials have no law to govern. How can such a court be able to manage the world well?

Jiang Chen felt that the scandal unfolding in front of him was simply the epitome of a sign of national subjugation. He shook his head and turned to leave. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but take action.

The cries and howls of innocent people came again from behind, mixed with the merciless curses and whippings of the officers and soldiers. This turned out to be a human tragedy that was staged nakedly in broad daylight in Daqian!

Seeing Jiang Chen's gloomy expression, Luo Tiancheng stepped forward and said to him: "Brother Chen, I know you are very angry now, but this kind of thing happens almost every day, and there is really nothing we can do."

"But given time, if I can be in a high position, I must revitalize the imperial court and purge those despicable villains from the imperial court one by one!"

"Although I don't know when I will be able to do it, I will never give up!"

Luo Tiancheng, who was wearing the clothes of a postman, vowed to express his ambition. Others would definitely think that he was wishful thinking when they heard his words, but Jiang Chen cast an encouraging look at him.

"Sometimes I almost forget that you are also a second-generation official."

Luo Tiancheng smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Chen is making fun of me."

"No, what I mean is that you have upright views, are not arrogant or impetuous, and what is commendable is that you also have a heart to protect the people of the world. This is really rare among the second-generation officials who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths."

"So, sometimes I forget that you are also a second-generation official, but staying in Shuimayi is not a good choice. I hope that one day you can fulfill the promise you made today."

Jiang Chen supported and encouraged Luo Tiancheng, and he also praised Luo Tiancheng. But at the same time, he also believed that an official like Luo Tiancheng's father would not let his son wade in troubled waters.

It is almost impossible to revitalize the imperial court and bring order out of chaos by oneself. The Daqian court is in a terminally ill state. It can only be said that it is wishful thinking and nothing can be changed.

Jiang Chen knew this in his heart, but he couldn't bear to undermine Luo Tiancheng's confidence, so while supporting him, he had other concerns in his heart.

At an emergency moment, one can only use extraordinary means to fight against the world. It is okay not to disturb the muddy waters of the officialdom.

The two found a restaurant to eat and chat, and then Jiang Chen learned from the chats of others that the second-generation official who he despised was the son of the current imperial household minister Shi Baili, named Shi Guangjun. .

It seems that the reason why he came to Ziyang this time was not only to show off his special identity, but also to have a more concerning purpose, which was to finalize a marriage with the Lin family, the largest wealthy family in the city.

Powerful people often prefer to join forces with similar people, so as to ensure that their wealth and power will only grow exponentially without worrying about being lost in the hands of the next generation.

The Lin family is a prominent family in the Ziyang area of ​​the southern border. The land, products, and money and grain they control can be described as tens of thousands, which is far richer than the governor of a prosperous prefecture in the Qian Dynasty.

This time, the son of the Minister of Hubu was going to marry the daughter of the Lin family. As soon as the news came out, it became the focus of the entire Ziyang City. The two families planned to join forces to further consolidate the family's power and position in these troubled times.

Jiang Chen put down his chopsticks and said to Luo Tiancheng: "Tiancheng, you can go back later. I have to continue doing some things in the city, so don't worry about me."

"Okay, Brother Chen, if you need anything, come to me anytime. As long as I can do it, I won't say anything."

In order not to delay the affairs in Luo Tiancheng Station, Jiang Chen told him not to continue to accompany him. At the same time, he also meant to get rid of this kid, because he saw another person who cared about him in this restaurant.

This person was two tables away from Jiang Chen. He was very conspicuous in his dark green official uniform, and he also had an exquisite and small birdcage at his hand.

He was the official in charge of recruiting soldiers just now. After tearing apart the families of innocent people, he was now in the mood to come here to drink and dine. It was really annoying to see him.

"Man, cut me another plate of mutton and heat up a pot of good wine!"

"Be smart with your hands and feet. If you make me unhappy, I will make you walk around without food!"

This guy cursed and scolded the waiter, drank a glass of wine, and couldn't help but sing a little song.

Jiang Chen just sat silently and did not take any action. When this guy was full of wine and food and staggered out of the restaurant, he followed him out as if nothing had happened.

When they were passing through an alley, it was already dark around them, and Jiang Chen's figure quietly walked around in front of him.

"Bang!"

"Ouch!"

After a muffled sound, the man howled.

"Who! Who just hit me?"

After he came to his senses, he looked around and found that there was nothing in the dark night. He seemed to be the only one in the narrow alley.

"What the hell?"

He touched his knee. Someone had clearly hit his leg with a hard piece of wood just now. If he was already 70% drunk and his eyesight was not good, the pain would not be false.

"I can see you, get out of here!"

As a result, after he said this, Jiang Chen walked out slowly as he wished, but his entire face was still hidden in the darkness, making it completely unclear.

"You're looking for me?"

"Did you just damn hit me? Do you know who I am?"

"I am a recruiting officer sent by the Great Military Department. If you dare to hit me, it is called attacking the court official. You are going to destroy the nine tribes!"

The man announced his identity and started shouting wildly, but Jiang Chen didn't care at all. The wooden stick he held in his hand kept shaking up and down, and it looked like it would fall on him again at any time.

"Did you hear that?"

He scolded him, but he was immediately beaten severely by Jiang Chen. There were screams in the alley, but no one passed by. Even if he heard something, no one in this world would be willing to meddle in other people's business.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting, please spare your life, good man!"

Jiang Chen asked: "You said you were an official? What's your name?"

"Yes, I am Zhao Sanji. This time I came to Ziyang to recruit troops under the order of the Ministry of War."

"Do you know what good things you have done?"
