After everyone left, Xiao Chen was the only one left in the huge Daxing Chamber of Commerce courtyard.
Touching the blade on his waist, Xiao Chen quietly sat on the chair in the hall and slowly closed his eyes.
There was a soft sound of footsteps outside the door, and Daxing County Magistrate He Xuan slowly walked into the courtyard of Daxing Chamber of Commerce with a government servant.
Normally, the door of the Daxing Chamber of Commerce is always closed. Why is it that it is open today but there is not a single voice?
"President Zhang, President Zhang." He Xuan crouched, looking left and right, and slowly walked into the hall.
In the hall, there was no figure from the Daxing Chamber of Commerce, but there was a figure in a soap-colored outfit, sitting quietly on a chair.
He Xuan was startled, took a step back, and shouted loudly: "Who are you, and why are you sitting here so secretly?"
Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes and saw that the other person was wearing official uniform, and he had already made a guess about the identity of the person coming.
"You must be the Daxing County Magistrate. Instead of staying at your county office, you crept to the lobby of the Daxing Chamber of Commerce. Instead, you questioned me for being sneaky?" Xiao Chen said lightly.
"Bold." He Xuan shouted, "The Daxing Chamber of Commerce is empty. Are you trying to steal something by staying here? If you don't recruit me, I will take you to the county government and serve you with severe punishment."
"Oh?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh, "Why can't I be from the Daxing Chamber of Commerce? It seems that you are very familiar with the people from the Daxing Chamber of Commerce. Just in time, they will come back later, and you can help me take a look.
There are still quite a few people.”
"How presumptuous. I am the magistrate of Daxing County, and I help you identify someone. Who do you think you are?" He Xuan shouted loudly, and was about to continue scolding him when the government servant next to him gently tugged at his official uniform.
"Sir, the people from Dongchang at the gate of the county just now said that their team leader has arrived here. If it is him, we can't yell at him so loudly," the Yamen servant said in a low voice.
He Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the real purpose of coming here. He coughed a few times, adjusted his mentality, and then spoke slowly.
"I am He Xuan, the magistrate of Daxing County. Who are you?"
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and did not say anything. He only exposed half of the purple plum blossom order around his waist.
Captain in Purple?!
He Xuan was shocked, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
Everyone in the entire government and the public knew about Xiao Chen's execution of Li Li's Minister Cangcheng. Now, he actually yelled at him loudly, saying that he, a small seventh-grade county magistrate, had his head removed just because he wanted to.
pick.
With a "pop", He Xuan knelt on the ground, almost lying on the ground: "My lord, this villain bumped into you blindly. Please have mercy on me and don't argue with the villain."
She burst into tears, as if she had made a huge mistake, and was waiting to be punished.
"Okay, why are you lying on the ground in such a cold weather? Get up." Xiao Chen waved his hand casually, "I'm not wearing purple clothes, how can you know who I am, and what's the crime?"
Hearing that Xiao Chen did not blame himself, He Xuanru was pardoned and stood up tremblingly. The panic in his heart could not go away for a long time.
"Are you familiar with this person from the Daxing Chamber of Commerce?" Seeing He Xuan stand up, Xiao Chen looked him up and down and asked lightly.
As the county magistrate, it should be very clear that such a large chamber of commerce could be established in Daxing, a county with agriculture as its main industry.
As for the true identities of these people, I'm afraid the county magistrate should also know something about them.
He Xuan hunched over, raised his right hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his loose official uniform.
"To be honest with you, sir, these people in the Daxing Chamber of Commerce are all the people arranged by the King of Han to be in Daxing before he went to Le'an."
Who is the Colonel in Purple Clothes? He is the most powerful Colonel in Dongchang who uncovered the hidden treasures of silk in the south of the Yangtze River and prevented the treasure ship from going out to sea. If the identities of these people were not clear, they would not have surrounded the entire Daxing County with thousands of people.
Already.
Although the King of Han was only expelled from the capital and was not completely overthrown, there was still a big gap compared with the purple-robed captain in front of him.
Only if you report truthfully, you may not be implicated.
"You are still a real person. However, you just told the King of Han's people, and you are not afraid that the King of Han will look for you later?" Sitting on the chair, Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh.
"Your Excellency is from Dongchang. The entire government and the public know that Dongchang is the emperor's confidant. How dare I hide even a little bit from your Majesty's questions." He Xuan bowed his body and spoke very tactfully.
Xiao Chen stood up and looked around the hall: "How many people are there in the Daxing Chamber of Commerce?"
I noticed when I came in that the courtyard is not small. Although there are not many rooms, the open space in the middle is usually enough for thousands of people to practice.
"My lord, there are more than 800 people registered in the Daxing Chamber of Commerce. I don't know if it will expand in the future." He Xuan answered with a respectful fist.
"Registered?"
"When the King of Han left, he gave the villain a roster." He Xuan replied.
"Haha, this King of Han is so generous, he even gave you the roster." Xiao Chen smiled faintly and stared at He Xuan closely.
"The King of Han's move was just to ask his subordinates not to tax them, and not to block their entry and exit from the city gates." He Xuan explained hurriedly.
"Oh." Xiao Chen nodded slightly, "Have you reported this matter to Shuntian Mansion?"
"I didn't report it. Although the King of Han left the capital, he is still a prince after all. He ordered the villain to take good care of his manpower and not to report to Shuntian Mansion, but the villain did not dare to report it." The sweat on He Xuan's forehead started to flow again.
Come down.
"Okay, go and send the roster over. I'll greet you when you're done here," Xiao Chen said.
"Yes, I will go and handle it now." He Xuan saluted again and bowed before retreating.
After leaving the gate, a gust of wind blew, and He Xuan's whole body felt cold.
His cold sweat had already wet his entire body, not just his forehead.
"Sir, do you really want to hand over the roster to this person?" the officer next to him asked in a low voice.
"Then what should we do, don't hand over? You want to die, but I don't want to die. Daxing County is surrounded, how can this be a small matter? Look at your eyes, you will only be a government servant forever." General He Xuan's official body
Wrapping up my clothes tightly, I stepped forward and walked forward.
The yamen servant trotted and followed closely: "But sir, if something happens to the people from the Daxing Chamber of Commerce, we won't be able to explain it to the King of Han."
"Explain it, give it to me. It's important to save your life first. Dongchang wants to capture the people from the Daxing Chamber of Commerce, so how can the King of Han get away with it? The prince has been captured by Dongchang, how can we protect the King of Han? Go back and explain it to your family.
Who knows whether we can escape this time or not?" He Xuan muttered, no longer paying attention to the yamen servant, and left quickly.
