"Zhang Ji? You did a great job this time. Thank you for your hard work."
The messenger who stepped into the governor's office was dusty and dusty, but Wu Yan gave him words of praise at the right time.
"I don't dare to take it seriously. My lord has given me too much praise."
"How are the people in Kino? Are everything settled properly?"
"Yes. Currently, they are temporarily settled near the Ximen camp. The consular office will provide the necessary materials, and related matters will be coordinated by Ji Zheng Wenhui." Zhang Jigong reported.
Weird riots in the summer have become a common occurrence for Liyang leaders, and accepting refugees is a routine task that Liyang Mansion has to deal with every year. Therefore, there is a complete set of plans in terms of scheduling and arrangements, and there is no need for the governor to specifically intervene.
Of course, Wu Yan’s questions were just a warm-up.
"I have read Kinoji's report. Do you have a high opinion of the Juvenile Supervision Division? The armored car looks quite worth looking forward to. But what happened when you rushed to Zichen Pavilion just after settling down the settlers?
?”
"My lord, please forgive me. Strictly speaking, that report is just a formal explanation."
"Formal explanation?" Wu Yan raised his eyebrows and exchanged solemn glances with Li Ru next to him. "In other words, there are still contents in this Kino Collection that cannot be reported in writing?"
"Yes."
Zhang Ji responded with his hands raised, but glanced slightly at the waiting clerk and attendants beside him.
"You guys step back first."
Wu Yan, who understood Zhang Ji's intention, ordered the attendants and others to exit the door, while the scribe Li Ru was left behind.
The minister Li Ru and the envoy Zhang Ji were close retainers of the heroine in charge. Among them, Li Ru was always stationed in Zichen Pavilion to assist in government affairs, while Zhang Ji traveled to various places to spread government orders. Speaking of Zhang Ji's return to report on his duties, Li Ru also saw many cases.
, but such prudent response to dismiss others in advance is quite rare.
"So, let's talk about it, what happened at Kinoji?"
The heroine in charge crossed her hands on her chest and spoke with an extremely serious expression.
"Yes. Weichen originally thought that this trip to Kinoji was just a routine trip for the people of Sanli. The focus was to evaluate the practical value of the creations of the Young Supervisor Division. However, after actually arriving at Kinoji, a series of things happened that were far from the truth.
It deviated far from Wei Chen’s original expectations..."
With these words as a prelude, Zhang Ji began to talk about the contents that could not be written in the report.
"Kinoji was a rebellious craftsman who was not afraid of the authority of the government. He failed to control the minor officials, so the government soldiers clashed with the local people when they first arrived in the settlement. Fortunately, a young supervisor came forward to suppress the pioneers...
…”
"On the day before the departure, all the pack animals tamed by the colony died suddenly. This incident is extraordinary. If the Youth Supervisor had not returned in time, this incident would have almost triggered a civil uprising in the colony..."
"According to the investigation of the Juvenile Supervision Department, the person who instigated the conflict between Kinoji and the consular government is an evil organization named 'Phantom'. It has been lurking in Kinoji for several years. The former Jisheng's unexplained death of illness may also be his work...
"
As a capable official who is highly trusted by the government, Zhang Ji obviously drafted the manuscript several times before entering Zichen Pavilion, so his narrative is rhythmic and logical, and the logic is clear. However, because the situation itself is too terrifying, it is difficult to tell the story
An unnatural cold sweat broke out on Zhang Ji's forehead, and his tone showed unconcealable wavering.
On the other hand, Wu Yan and Li Ru who listened to his story were no better.
When he first heard that Craftsman Kino dared to confront the envoy of the government, Wu Yan could not help but raise his eyebrows. Then he heard that the reason for the confrontation was that there was an evil "Phantom" hiding behind the scenes to fan the flames, and even the Mirage would poison him to silence him.
When gathering the animals, Wu Yan had already gritted his teeth.
Especially when Zhang Ji mentioned that the mirage offered its final trump card, awakening the ghost rock species and razing the village, and that the armored train train would be buried underground in just half a moment, the heroine in charge was even more livid, and she couldn't help but take pictures.
The table stands up.
"Is this true!?"
"I dare not lie."
The ghost rock species that killed Wu Shang and led the country to turmoil was as ominous to Liyang Mansion as the Sangmen Star. Zhang Ji seemed to have expected that Wu Yan would react violently, and immediately lowered his head and added.
"But please don't worry, my lord. Although it is a ghost rock species, it is in an extremely weak state after waking up from a long sleep. It is currently being attacked by pioneers led by the Young Supervisor. I have confirmed this with my own eyes."
The appearance of the ghost rock species was not a trivial matter, so while the formation was parked and resting, Gu Chen used the Deer King to carry Zhang Ji to the ruins of the cottage for confirmation. Red Fish's extermination method "Shen Ye" did defeat the ghost rock species, but the rest
The wave also caused the dilapidated mountain stronghold to completely collapse.
I'm afraid that Kinoji will have to find a new location to rebuild in the future. However, compared to the tragic ending of the colony being quietly destroyed, the overall relocation with no loss of people and money can be considered an ideal happy ending.
"That's right..."
Wu Yan sat back on the wicker chair and took a long breath.
Several brilliant stone lamps in the governor's room had been lit at some point, and the yellowish halo reflected the dim night outside the window. The situation in the Kinoji meeting this time was indeed too dangerous and tortuous. When Zhang Ji came in, it was still Shenshi.
By the time I finished speaking, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Li Ru, the waiter next to him, quietly loosened his knuckles that had been stiff for too long.
For the civilian bureaucrats who often stay in Zichen Pavilion, the thrilling scenes that seem to appear in front of them when they close their eyes can be said to be far beyond the excitement of daily administrative affairs. Even the heroine in charge seems to have to digest those sudden surges.
As a huge amount of information entered his mind, he rubbed his temples and remained silent for a long time.
Not daring to disturb the chief's thinking, the minister and the envoy exchanged glances in silence.
After a long while, Wu Yan seemed to have sorted out his thoughts and turned his attention to the envoy's office.
"Zhang Ji, how many people know about mirages and ghost rock species?"
"As for the mirage, in addition to Wei Chen and Shao Jian Si, there were also Ji Zheng Wen Hui and the craftsman Fang Liang who discussed the countermeasures that day. As for Gui Yanzhong, apart from Shao Jian Si and the pioneers, the only people who knew about it were Wei Chen.
" Zhang Ji replied. "Because the matter is serious, I have ordered the relevant people to keep silent. It should not be known to the outside world for the time being."
"That's not bad..."
Wu Yan murmured to himself, his fingers touching the eyepatch of his right eye intentionally or unintentionally.
Wu Yan also lost his right eye during the turmoil in Liyang for several years. At that time, after his third brother Wu Shang was killed, he was defeated immediately after Duke Liyang, and they got together with the riots of the summer monsters. In an instant, Liyang, who was originally peaceful, was taken over.
Pushed to collapse
On the verge of collapse. Wu Yan led the Liyang army to turn the tide, but they also paid a heavy price. For example, the old injury in this right eye will hurt every summer, as if it reminds those invisible gray hostility.
The extraordinary situation in Kinoji this time was completely beyond Wu Yan's expectation.
It can also be said that the organization called Mirage is really well hidden.
