Chapter 270
“You’re indeed a man of courage, I appreciate you.” Provincial governor Zhang laughed out loud. It was too early to make a conclusion about yang Chuannan’s case. Since you believe in Sir Yang’s character, then this official will also promise you that as long as yang Chuannan is innocent, this official will definitely clear his name.”
After a pause, Governor Zhang suddenly turned hostile and spoke sternly,”However, you brought your troops without permission and attacked the city. It’s a capital crime!”
Xu Huchen cupped his fists unwillingly, “”Your humble servant ... As long as the governor can prove Sir Yang’s innocence, this humble servant will be at your disposal.”
“Forget it. Since you didn’t act rashly, as long as you lead the team back to the camp, I will let bygones be bygones.” Governor Zhang was very forgiving.
“Since the governor has made a promise, then this humble servant will believe in you.” Xu Huchen got the answer he wanted. He turned his head and nodded at Xu Qi ‘an.
Fortunately, there was this Gong to mediate, so that the situation did not deteriorate to an irredeemable point.
Xu Huchen had led his team here to make a scene, hoping for a result, or a promise. He was deeply afraid that the provincial governor from the capital would wrongly accuse the commander for the sake of merit.
Right now, the governor had made a promise, and the case was still under investigation, so the commander had not been convicted yet.
This result was already very good.
Next, Governor Zhang appeased him with a pleasant expression, displaying the attitude of a soldier respecting the wise. Xu Huchen was overwhelmed by this.
This was how uncouth men were. They didn’t even frown when fighting on the battlefield, but when others showed concern for them, they would be grateful and couldn’t be fierce.
Especially a high official like Governor Zhang.
In the end, the result was to everyone’s satisfaction, and Xu Huchen finally had an explanation for the soldiers. Provincial governor Zhang resolved the admonishment and did not cause any trouble.
.......
On the way back to the relay station, Governor Zhang praised Xu Qi ‘an, ” you know the human heart well and how to resolve conflicts. Ningyan, you’ve done a good job again.”
Xu Qi ‘an waved his hand and didn’t reply. He was too tired and lost the interest to talk.
Li Miaozhen didn’t follow them back to the courier station. She took her private soldiers back to the camp.
“The provincial governor’s stalling tactic can only be used for a while,” Jiang Luzhong said with a frown.
I know, “sneered Governor Zhang. Jiang Jinluo, go to the military camp of the Department of guard tonight and invite Xu Huchen and the other generals into the city. Tell them that I have a secret matter to discuss with them. It’s related to the case of the commander.
Xu Qian’s heart sank.
“After you bring them out of the military camp, kill them all, leave no one alive,” Governor Zhang said indifferently.
“Lord Governor ...”
Xu Qi ‘an felt as if he had just eaten a dead rat when he saw the enmity between the two of them. It was hard to describe his current mood.
It was as if Governor Zhang didn’t hear him as he continued,”Without a leader, the ordinary soldiers are like a pile of loose sand. Yang Chuannan’s trusted aides only had three to five thousand soldiers from the guard division. Once we get rid of this hidden danger, we won’t have to worry about dealing with yang Chuannan.”
“But there’s obviously something else hidden in this case.” Xu Qi ‘an said in a deep voice.
“That’s another matter. If I can find out, I will clear yang Chuannan’s name. However, Xu Huchen’s desire to rebel is firm, and I must kill the signs in the cradle.” Provincial governor Zhang said faintly,
“I’ll send people to gather troops from the various guard stations in Yunzhou. There won’t be a next time.”
The provincial governor had the power to mobilize the Army of the various departments.
After giving his instructions, provincial governor Zhang glanced at Xu Qi ‘an and laughed,”Ningyan, the merciful don’t command troops. Be it in the court or on the battlefield, hesitation will lead to defeat. Being soft-hearted will harm others and yourself.”
I understand the logic ... Xu Qi ‘an sighed.
Jiang Luzhong had experienced all kinds of storms, so he was not affected at all. He asked, “”By mobilizing the troops of the various guard stations, does the governor want to use this incident to suppress the officials in Yunzhou?”
Governor Zhang nodded slowly,”if yang Chuannan isn’t the mastermind, then the mastermind must be in the city. All officials of fourth rank and above are suspects.” I’m preparing for a rainy day to prevent the other party from taking desperate actions.”
After returning to the relay station and having a cup of tea, the Tiger guard on duty at the door came in and reported, “”Lord Governor, Governor song and the other Lords are here to see you.”
Governor Zhang dismissed the miscellaneous personnel and received the officials in the hall. They were here for yang Chuannan’s case.
“The evidence for this case is irrefutable, I hope that the provincial governor can make a decision soon.” Emissary song bu said.
The magistrate of Yunzhou and the other officials agreed.
The “abdication” has come ... Xu Qian thought.
If the mastermind behind the scenes was among these people, it was not difficult to understand the act of instigating the officials to force the abdication after provincial governor Zhang had examined the evidence.
But he was a little anxious ...
The Army of the Secretary of guard had just withdrawn, and they were already eager to force Governor Zhang to close the coffin for this case. It really didn’t seem like the operation of an old and astute person.
It could only mean that Liang Youping did not have any clues, which made the other party feel like they were sitting on pins and needles, and they could not wait to push yang Chuannan out as a scapegoat.
The more anxious he was, the easier it was to give himself away ... After Jiang Jingluo killed Xu Huchen and the other generals, she would mobilize the troops of the various guard stations. Then, the governor would be able to rest easy and play with the mastermind behind the scenes. Therefore, it was enough to stall for time ... Xu Qi ‘an’s thoughts flashed.
Sure enough, provincial governor Zhang agreed to the officials “request, but he said that there would be a secret trial of yang Chuannan today, and a joint trial of three divisions tomorrow.
Anyway, let’s just drag today out.
After sending the Lords away, Governor Zhang sipped his tea and sighed,”We don’t have much time left,”
Killing Xu Huchen was to secure yang Chuannan’s position, and mobilizing the troops was to secure the position of the mastermind. After all, once the truth of the case was revealed, the other party would definitely be caught in a life and death struggle.
“After Jiang Jinluo is done with his business tonight, we can get someone to pretend to be Liang Youping and lure the snake out of its hole,” Xu Qi ‘an said.
Just as he finished speaking, the Huben guard on duty came in again and said,”Lord Governor, there’s a group of self-proclaimed bodyguards from Fushun bodyguard agency outside the door. They’re requesting to see Lord Governor.”
“Fushun bodyguard agency?” Governor Zhang frowned. He had no impression of the name of this bodyguard agency.
