Political struggles are inherently cruel, not to mention a cult like the White Lotus that shakes the country. How could Li Chen be so merciful to it?
"How is the situation over there in Xishan Province?" Li Chen asked.
Sanbao replied: "It's quite confusing."
These four words made Li Chen raise his eyebrows. These four words were completely different from the report sent to him by Zhao Heshan and Zhou Pingan.
Before Li Chen could ask, Sanbao continued to answer: "After Mr. Zhao Heshan arrived in Xishan Province, he immediately summoned officials from all counties, prefectures, and prefectures in Xishan Province for consultation. However, most of the officials who received the notice did not
did not come."
"This Lord Zhao Heshan is also very powerful. If they don't come, Lord Zhao Heshan will patrol the places under their jurisdiction one by one. When he goes to a place, he will behead a group of officials."
"Therefore, Xishan Province's current evaluation of Lord Zhao Heshan is polarized."
"The common people say that Mr. Zhao Heshan is a good official who prays for the people, but the official circles say that he is an executioner, who is...sent by His Highness specifically to kill people."
Li Chen sneered when he heard this and said: "Send someone to kill them? They don't even know what they are. How can I have the free time to argue with them?"
"What's going on with Zhao Heshan now? When he first arrived, he used such bloody and cruel methods to suppress him. Memorials about him are already flying all over the place, right?"
Sanbao smiled bitterly and said: "That's true, but judging from the time, those memorials should still be on their way now. After all, there is a rebellion in Xishan Province right now, and official channels are blocked. It will be troublesome for the memorials to come in, but they will probably arrive in the next two days."
"Let Zhao Heshan pay attention to his own safety. The situation in Xishan Province is currently in chaos. If he is not protected, he will risk his life. Deal with Zhao Heshan in Xishan Province. When the time comes, he will be labeled as a rebel and will die without proof."
Although Li Chen has never been to the grassroots level, he is well versed in this routine.
Local officials are no less ruthless and terrifying than the officials in the capital. They are even more courageous because the sky is high and the emperor is far away.
They were so desperate that they took a desperate risk and killed Zhao Heshan on the spot. It was not a big surprise.
"Commander Chen Tong has already taken care of this matter in person," Sanbao said.
Now Chen Tong is no longer the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, but a serious commander of the fourth grade Jinyiwei.
His rank is not high, but his power is terrifying.
It can be said that he is the most powerful fourth-rank official in the Qin Empire.
This real power was obtained by Li Chen from Sanbao.
"Where's Zhou Ping'an?" Li Chen asked again.
Sanbao said: "Since Zhou Ping'an arrived in Xishan Province, he went directly to the hinterland of the rebels. Our people followed him, and he did not refuse. It was just that the rebels had to be guarded over there, so it was difficult for the news to spread. It was just that Zhou
Ping An is now the guest of the rebel leader and is very respected, and the rebels have become more honest these days and have not caused any more rebellion."
"Find a way to tell Zhou Pingan that I don't have much patience."
Li Chen said indifferently: "No matter what method he has, it's best to be effective as soon as possible. If these 100,000 rebels in Xishan Province are not solved, I will have trouble sleeping and eating. If there is no result within half a month, then the deal between me and him will be invalid."
.”
"Even if I and the imperial court tighten their belts and live a hard life for another two years, the Shenwu Guards and the Habayashi Guards must immediately set off to defeat the rebels."
