"Also, Guanzhou City will be closed for three days. You can only enter but not leave!"
Liu Mo cupped his hands and said: "It's the official's negligence. The official will go and gather people right now!"
Under Liu Mo's guidance, Su Chen led the Qianniu Guards and began to arrest unscrupulous merchants who were secretly driving up prices in the city, as well as the remnants of aristocratic families who were hiding in the dark.
After working for half the night, Su Chen yawned and said: "Take care of these people, don't let anyone get close to them, don't let them sleep, just give them a small amount of gruel, just don't starve to death!"
"By the way, don't forget to post notices to help the people and inform the people of these people's evil deeds!"
"yes!"
Liu Mo cupped his hands and said, "Guo Guo Gong has been working hard all the way and has been working hard for half the night. It's better to rest early."
…
Su Chen slept until noon the next day, got up and washed up. After lunch, Xu Jingzong came over and said:
"The Lord Protector wants to interrogate those unscrupulous businessmen?"
"Why, Lao Xu, are you interested?"
Xu Jingzong shook his head hurriedly: "Isn't the lower official okay now? If the Lord Protector interrogates criminals, the lower official can do desk work for the Lord Protector, such as writing paperwork."
Su Chen shook his head: "Don't rush today, let's wait for them for a day."
"I'm going to the steel factory and steam engine workshop today. If you have nothing to do, Lao Xu, help keep an eye on those unscrupulous businessmen and don't let them sleep. I'm going to conduct a fatigue interrogation tomorrow!"
?"Just leave this kind of thing to a jailer!"
Xu Jingzong looked forward to it and said, "Can I follow the Lord Protector to gain experience?"
Su Chen smiled and said: "Whoever you want!"
Next, Su Chen spent a day running around the steel factory and the newly built steam engine workshop.
Overall, Su Chen was quite satisfied.
The steel plant is already operating normally, the steam engine workshop has been completed, and the first batch of arriving craftsmen have begun work.
"Lord Protector, I heard that the steel plant in Guanzhou has just started operation."
On the way back, Xu Jingzong asked cautiously.
"Yes what's the matter?"
"But, the official saw the mountains of..."
Su Chen said casually: "Why is it piled up like a mountain and only have a few rails?
Don’t you think about how long it will take to get from here to Chang’an?”
Xu Jingzong turned his head and looked at the steel factory behind him from a distance, and said no more.
Su Chen sneered in his heart: "You're so good! I'm so shocked. I'll make you look evil and dishonest all day long!"
After going back to rest for a night, Su Chen began to interrogate those unscrupulous businessmen.
The unscrupulous businessmen who were almost tortured quickly recruited many behind-the-scenes masterminds.
Su Chen then began the second round of arrests in Quanguan Prefecture!
One by one, well-dressed young men from well-to-do families were thrown into prison while cursing constantly.
"Take care of these scum and continue to cook according to the previous method!"
Su Chen said to Liu Mo: "These people are no better than those profit-seeking businessmen. Let's wait for a few more days."
Liu Mo asked: "Do you think there are people behind the scenes, as the protector of the country does?"
"Do you think just these few little minions can bring such trouble to Guanzhou?"
Su Chen said calmly: "It's early, keep digging slowly!"
"What to do with those merchants?"
"Detain him for a few more days, interrogate him again, and then go to the construction site to build roads. We are short of manpower!"
After making these arrangements, Su Chen said to Xu Jingzong: "Old Xu, let's go to the mine!"
"Chang He has captured many bandits and sent them to the mine to be imprisoned."
"The princes, princes and grandsons will arrive tomorrow. It won't be easy to see too much blood. Let's go deal with it today!"
Xu Jingzong suddenly thought: "Has it been dealt with?
Lord Protector, didn’t you just say that there was a shortage of manpower to build roads?”
"Besides, I feel that there must be a mastermind behind these bandits. Lord Protector, don't you want to interrogate me?"
Su Chen smiled: "The first batch of people to be arrested are all insignificant abandoners. It is probably difficult to find anything useful in the interrogation. We will wait until General Chang He catches the escaped bandit leaders and then interrogate them again."
It’s not too late!”
"Besides, these bandits killed a lot of people when they robbed the mine last time. We have to give the miners an explanation!"
Bringing rice, flour, grain and oil, Su Chen came to the mine to express condolences to the miners.
He also brought a group of bandits to the miners and executed them in public, thus avenging the dead miners!
On the way back, Su Chen looked at Xu Jingzong, whose face turned pale, and felt funny: He should be more honest now!
The temporary execution ground in the mine is not large, and the execution platform and execution platform are very close to each other.
When the bandit beheaded him, the blood almost splashed onto the executioner Xu Jingzong!
Well! Xu Jingzong, the executioner, was temporarily arranged by Su Chen!
"Old Xu! I will arrange a relaxing and glorious job for you tomorrow!"
Xu Jingzong trembled: "Please give me your instructions, Lord Protector!"
Su Chen smiled and said: "Those princes, princes and grandsons will arrive in Guanzhou tomorrow, go and greet them!"
"They all came this far to Guanzhou, so don't neglect them!"
"You have to work hard tomorrow and arrange them properly!"
Xu Jingzong said with a grimace: "Duke Protector, these nobles have a noble status, but the status of the subordinates is humble. I'm afraid it would be disrespectful to go to greet them."
Su Chen smiled and said: "It's okay! It's probably the first time in this life that these golden branches and jade leaves have traveled such a long distance. I'm afraid they will be extremely exhausted when they arrive."
"They will be in a hurry to find a place to rest. Who can care about their identity?"
"Lao Xu, just make arrangements for food and accommodation. After they have rested for two days and recovered, I will go visit them again!"
Xu Jingzong kept slandering in his heart: You know they are all golden branches and jade leaves, and you know they have been tortured by you along the way!
The resentment and anger in the hearts of these second-generation ancestors who have been tortured all the way may not necessarily be great!
These second-generation ancestors dare not find you, Lord Protector, to get angry. Then I, Old Xu, will become a punching bag!
The internal slander was the internal slander. Seeing Su Chen looking at him with a smile, Xu Jingzong shivered all over:
"I obey your orders!"
"I will definitely live up to the Lord Protector's trust, and I will definitely make the nobles feel at home tomorrow!"
Su Chen smiled and said: "Then please leave it to the Yan clan!"
After leaving this troublesome matter to Xu Jingzong, Su Chen felt relaxed and went back to take a hot bath and have a good sleep.
Changle and Lotus Sun will come tomorrow,
You need to take a good rest to wash away the fatigue and bloody smell of the past few days!
A few days after Su Chen arrived in Guanzhou, he used thunderbolt tactics, which made all the nightclubs frightened!
The panicked Guanzhou temporarily calmed down.
At this time, the princes and grandsons, who had been tortured unspeakably along the way, finally arrived at their destination.
"Justice, aren't you in a hurry to see the young master?
We are almost half a day behind schedule!"
In a luxurious carriage, Sun Rong said to Chang Le anxiously.
"It's better to stay away from the princes and grandsons in front of us, lest they see Brother Su Chen ignoring them and come to pick us up, and less trouble will be caused to Brother Su Chen."
