At night, the Sun family in Yuncheng was bustling with activity.
Several families were sitting together. Among them were the two heads of the Sun family and the Zheng family. Next to them, some men in black robes stood respectfully, quietly and without making a sound, but the icons on their clothes said it.
their identity.
They gathered around the fire and seemed to be keeping warm.
"Master Sun, what's going on today?" The first person to speak was a man very close to the fire. He didn't have a bench, so he just squatted on the ground. "There must be something important to gather us together so late at night.
Bar."
"There is news from above. It is said that Ye Mou reported to King Wen that there is a dynasty organization wreaking havoc in our Yuncheng." The head of the Sun family said calmly, "Requesting King Wen to send troops to Yuncheng to quell the trouble."
Hearing this, several people were a little shocked.
"At first glance, it was that bastard boy Ye Fan who did it." Someone said, "We are the only people in Yuncheng. If someone finds out, I'm afraid something big will happen."
"Have troops been sent from above? Where are they?"
"We haven't sent any troops. We just sent down the Southern Governor Li Ming. He will arrive in Yuncheng in three to five days," the head of the Sun family replied.
"Three to five days, there is no time." Some people's expressions changed, "Our manpower is all in important positions, there is no time to evacuate, they will be found out."
"Why should we withdraw? The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. The higher ups don't know what's going on in Yuncheng." The head of the Zheng family said, seemingly unconcerned, "Isn't it just that the dynasty is wreaking havoc? Let's just help calm down the trouble these days."
"Master Zheng understands what we mean." Master Sun nodded with a smile and looked at the people around him, "That's what I mean by asking everyone to come."
"I don't know what Ye Fan said to the higher-ups at the moment, but if it's just about the dynasty's chaos, let's just pretend and deal with the people coming from above."
"The real key lies in Chen Changsheng. As for whether there will be dynasty chaos, it is not our decision. In the past few days, we have sent some servants from various families to put on organization clothes and go out. We will take the initiative to assist and then calm down. The higher-ups will also
You have to give us the credit."
"But this is possible." Some people were worried, "That is the Southern Governor, and his strength is at least Glory level. If he really wants to investigate..."
"In this day and age, who would care whether it is true or not." The head of the Sun family said, his tone seemed to be very calm, "Li Ming is the governor of the south, yes, but his son Li Xiao is working in the supervision bureau.
"
After saying this, the head of the Sun family turned his head and looked at some people, with a smile on his lips, "You are all veterans, you should all know this sentence."
"Jianghu has never been about fighting and killing..."
After the words came out, everyone was silent for a while, and then someone laughed, and then everyone laughed.
Under the night, the laughter beside the fire seemed a bit mocking.
…
Early the next morning, Zhoucang and Deng Ai's team were already on duty with guns, and Wei Dong also led a patrol in the city early.
At ten minutes past noon, some chaos once again broke out in the main city, but this time, when Wei Dong led the team there, he had already seen the members of the dynasty organization that had been dealt with by the law enforcers.
This happened several times in a row. By the afternoon, the chaos quickly subsided.
The force is far less powerful than before, and the law enforcement team handles it quickly every time.
This made Wei Dong puzzled. In the afternoon, after thinking about it, he came to Shenye and found Ye Fan to explain the matter.
"The law enforcers in the city took the initiative to send troops?" Hearing this, Ye Fan also frowned a little.
"Yes, almost all the dynasty turmoil was quelled by them today." Wei Dong said beside Ye Fan, hesitating, "Is it because brother Ye Fan has already reported the news?"
"That may be the case." Ye Fan replied, without thinking too much, just some thoughts.
It is understandable that the people from the higher-ups, these big families, are afraid of being held accountable, so they sent out the law enforcement team. However, the people from the higher-ups are not blind. They are just trying to make ends meet, and with just a little investigation, the matter will be revealed.
Why do you need to install something that has no meaning at all?
"Besides helping, did those people do anything unusual?" After thinking for a while, Ye Fan asked.
"Nothing else. They didn't have any negotiations with me. They just killed people and left." Wei Dong replied, paused, seemed to have thought of something, and then said: "It's just that the members of those dynasty organizations are very weak today.
There are almost no beast masters, just ordinary people with muskets."
"Ordinary people holding muskets?" Hearing this, Ye Fan hesitated, "Then he sacrificed his life to make a show for his superiors."
"Could it be that the people above were bribed? Didn't the people in Kyoto say they were sent by King Wen himself? Why are they colluding with these people?"
Thinking of this, Ye Fan seemed to have thought of something, took out his communicator, and asked about the only signal in Kyoto.
The news spread quickly, and not long after, the communicator lit up again. Ye Fan looked at the message on it, and his brows suddenly furrowed after just a few words.
"The person here is the Southern Governor, Li Ming." After speaking, Ye Fan looked at Wei Dong who was standing aside, "City Lord Wei, you have been an official for many years, what impression do you have of Li Ming?"
"What kind of person is this person? Have you ever had any contact with him?"
"Governor Li Ming?" Hearing Ye Fan's question, Wei Dong paused slightly, revealing his recalling eyes, "He has been working in Kyoto all year round, and only occasionally comes to Yuncheng for inspections. He has had several contacts, but he has no impression.
.”
"I'm quite law-abiding. I'm not the kind of official who cares about people's integrity, and I'm not the kind of corrupt official either."
"Mediocre and incompetent." Ye Fan nodded slightly, "That means mediocre and incompetent."
Speaking of this, Ye Fan seemed to have figured out something, "The Sun family in Yuncheng is related to Kyoto. My uncle had a quarrel with Sun Wu on the spot over whether the matter was true in order to send a message. Sun Wu denied on the spot that there was chaos in Yuncheng."
"This kind of thing is not a trivial matter. If it is false, my uncle will not suffer any loss. If it is true, the punishment from above is unclear."
"Li Ming's official position is not high in the upper echelons of Kyoto. It is not at the same level as the Eight Families that dominate the sky. He should not be willing to offend Sun Wu for such a thing. As long as he can keep his face, he will probably not care about Yuncheng's matters.
I will take care of it.”
"Ah, that's it." Hearing this, Wei Dong couldn't help but be startled, "In that case, there is almost no difference between those who come from above and those who don't."
"That's almost it." Ye Fan nodded, looked at Wei Dong, his eyes narrowed, "It's just that even if you don't want to care about it, you still have to save face."
"Since they are shameless first, then we don't have to be so polite."
"You're welcome..." Hearing the coldness in Ye Fan's words, Wei Dong hesitated slightly, "What kind of rudeness does brother Ye Fan plan to use?"
"Come on, they can let themselves pretend to be a dynasty organization and cause trouble in Yuncheng. It's not impossible for us." Ye Fan replied, hitting the key point, and then slowly said:
"I thought it would be so easy to fool things away, but it's not that simple."
"I will take people to burn the Sun family's granary tonight."
