"But, who can guarantee that this imperial envoy has no other hidden purposes?"
Wan Zhiyi said leisurely.
Gu Chengyuan was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "You mean, maybe Shen Tang will come to us?"
"I got the exact news. It is true that Shen Tang inspected the disaster situation on the Fifth Road, but he also conducted secret inspections of important places such as the local army and salt supervision! Our two places are adjacent to Kuizhou, and they are places Shen Tang must pass through. If he really makes any moves, it will be too late for us to react by then!"
"This..." Gu Chengyuan frowned, "Where did you get this news?
Is it reliable?"
"You also know that I have hidden secrets in the local government offices around us! Including those houses, there are also people of mine! And my news was obtained from Tiju Mansion.
However, I am not sure about this matter, because it is too secretive, and my hidden line only came from the words imperial envoy, salt supervisor, etc."
Gu Chengyuan frowned. If something like this went wrong, it would be a big deal.
"jingle……"
At this moment, a commander in the corner suddenly made a soft sound!
Gu Chengyuan signaled to Wan Zhiyi to stop talking temporarily, and then he turned around and pulled the rope on the bell three times!
Not long after, following a few gentle footsteps, the butler in black just pushed open the door and entered!
"Master, the eldest master has sent someone here, and it's Gu Ping!"
"Let him come up!"
Gu Chengyuan said, this Gu Ping is Gu Chengyi's godson, and a close confidant of his direct lineage! There is obviously something important to send him here.
The butler in black turned around and left, and a moment later a muscular man walked in.
"Gu Ping has met the second master!"
"Brother, why did you come here?"
Gu Chengyuan asked.
Gu Ping took out a secret letter from his pocket and handed it to Gu Chengyuan, "This is an autographed letter from my godfather. He said he handed it to the second master himself!"
After that, he turned around and left.
Gu Chengyuan reached out and took an exquisite dagger from the side, scratched off the fire paint on the secret letter, and then took out the letter paper! After looking at it for a moment, his expression changed slightly!
"Lao Wan, look at it!"
Wan Zhiyi was not polite and took the letter. After reading it, he slowly said, "It seems that this matter is true!"
"good!"
Gu Chengyuan nodded, "You got some fragments of information from that person, and the eldest brother got almost the same information from the old guy Sun Letian, the comfort envoy. With two supporting evidences, it is obvious that it cannot be faked!"
"Snapped!"
Gu Chengyuan slapped his hand on the table, "These two immortals, we give them truckloads of gold and silver every year, and now with such news, we don't leak anything! That money is better than feeding the dogs !”
When Wan Zhiyi heard this, he smiled disdainfully, "Lao Gu, why are you so naive! Do you think they don't keep an eye on our position?
No matter how much gold and silver we have, it is better to replace them with our own people! They and we have never been on the same path! They are greedy for our money, why are we not pulling their tiger skin?"
"If there is a chance, we must teach these two old guys a lesson!"
Gu Chengyuan said unhappily.
"We'll talk about other things later. Now, you and I have to come up with a charter on how to deal with this imperial envoy Shen Tang!"
Wan Zhiyi interrupted Gu Chengyuan's words.
Gu Chengyuan thought for a while and said, "Just follow the usual practice. When he really comes, give him hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and a few beauties, and send him away respectfully! Could it be that, Is it true that he can still play with us?"
"I'm afraid it won't be so easy this time."
Wan Zhiyi said.
"Um?
How do you say this?
Is it true that there are people who don’t like money and women?
It’s not like no one from the imperial court has come to check before. Which time did we not come here like this?”
"I checked about Shen Tang before!"
Wan Zhiyi said directly, "This Shen Tang is no small matter! First of all, the financial resources behind him are extremely strong, with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but it may not necessarily impress him.
After all, this imperial envoy is probably worth three points more than our brothers! As for women, Shen Tang has three lovely wives, but there are no rumors that he likes beauty.
At least, this person also has strong restraint!"
"The methods we used before were hopeless and harmful to other people, but they may not work on Shen Tang!"
"In addition, although Shen Tang was born as a scholar, he relied on martial arts! He has many arrogant soldiers, and he himself is said to be extremely extraordinary! In addition, he previously served in Mianzhou and Xingyuan Mansion, There were as many as a hundred officials, big and small, punished.
The magistrate of Mianzhou and the magistrate of Xingyuan Prefecture were all punished and captured by him, and a general of the Da'an Army lost his head because of him!"
"Although I haven't found out the inside story about some things, this is enough to show how cruel Shen Tang is!"
"If he really comes to our territory, with his methods, I'm afraid we won't be able to hide our affairs at all! And once we fall into his hands, the worst we can do is to be expelled from the army!"
"How cruel is this guy?"
Gu Chengyuan asked with some surprise. He has always been arrogant and rarely paid attention to other things except Yun'an Supervisory Realm! Of course he had heard of Shen Tang's name, but it was not as good as what Wan Zhiyi said. So detailed.
"It's even worse than what I said!"
Wan Zhiyi nodded in response.
Gu Chengyuan stroked his forehead, and then said with a bit of ferocity, "Then what should we do?
You can’t just wait for him to come to your door!”
Wan Zhiyi thought for a moment, "Two ways!"
"First, go and get in touch with her first. Women should be given away, and money should be given away! Let's explore his connections! However, Shen Tang's palace is very deep, and I'm afraid that this test will not yield results.
You also know that some people, even if they are brothers to you on the surface, can turn around and stab you."
"As for the second method, that is to keep doing it!"
"Whether it is Yun'an Supervisor or Daning Supervisor, they are all our territory! Even if Shen Tang is really three-headed and six-armed, he is only a human being and not a god!"
"We directly sent out soldiers to kill him! With our strength, we can wipe out all traces.
At that time, it will just be an imperial envoy who disappeared on the way from Yangzhou to Kuizhou."
"What if the court sends someone to investigate?"
Gu Chengyuan didn't look surprised at all, but there was also a fierce look in his eyes!
In their hands, civilians and salt workers die almost every day. Human life is not worth mentioning in their eyes!
Hearing this, Wan Zhiyi smiled disdainfully, "So what if the imperial court sends people to investigate?
Even if we send another imperial envoy over, we can just settle it, it will be much easier than dealing with a Shen Tang."
