I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

Long Guangxian's chest heaved up and down, and he finally walked into the lobby.

"General Long is here, come and sit down. The chef in your general's mansion is much better than those in restaurants outside. Come and try it, brother."

Long Guangxian was so angry at the moment that he had no appetite to eat.

"No need, as long as Mr. Jiang likes it." After saying that, Long Guangxian's eyes couldn't help but become a little gloomy.

Once that adult takes action, I don’t believe that you, Jiang Yuan, will survive!

"Haha! Then I won't be polite!" Jiang Yuan smiled and really ignored Long Guangxian.

In a blink of an eye, seven or eight days passed.

In the imperial capital, Wang Kuo, who had traveled all the way here, showed an excited look. He had finally arrived after traveling so fast all the way.

As soon as he entered the city, he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water, and rushed to the address given by Long Guangxian.

In the East Factory, Chen Liu was lying in the sun with his legs crossed, while Wei Yong was reporting the news to him.

"Sir, last night, we tracked a killer all the way to a coffin shop and discovered a killer's den. I wanted to gather some men to wipe it out, but in the blink of an eye, there was no one left."

Chen Liu sighed helplessly: "I'm not stupid, how can I wait for you to catch me?"

"Is there anything else? If not, please go down."

"Sir, according to reports, a group of people spreading superstition have appeared in three or four provinces in southern my country, including Cangzhou, Jiangzhou, and Jinzhou. A large number of people have been deceived."

Chen Liu slowly sat up straight. "That's interesting, but we in Daduan don't seem to have clear regulations on things like faith. There are indeed many such organizations among the people."

"However, this organization is quite large. We need to send people to keep a close watch on it. If we find them spreading any unfavorable news, we can execute them first and report them later."

"Also, find a way to get someone inside and try to get their first intelligence."

After saying that, Chen Liu waved his hand, indicating that Wei Yong was fine and could leave.

"Sir, I'll take my leave." Wei Yong responded, turned around and slowly retreated.

"Oh, life is as lonely as snow." Chen Liu shook his body with a faint expression.

For him, most things in this world are no longer interesting. After thinking about it, he actually missed the days when he and Duanmu Xiongtu conquered the world.

Even the days of traveling with Duanmu Yuanchen were much more interesting than now.

Thinking of this, Chen Liu suddenly sat up straight, a look of worry lingering on his face.

Duanmu Xiongtu's health was really getting worse day by day. He had been in a coma for a period of time last year. Although he woke up, according to the imperial physician, he was already seriously injured...

Originally, once Duanmu Xiongtu passed away, the imperial power would undoubtedly be transferred to Duanmu Yuanchen, after all, he only had this one son.

But now, things might be difficult.

"We have to kill a lot of people again." Chen Liu sighed helplessly and continued to lie down.

However, before Chen Liu could close his eyes, hurried footsteps were heard.

Chen Liu didn't even bother to look at him, and immediately started cursing, "Wei Yong! Are you going to stop?! Stop bothering me with those trivial matters!"

"Sir, this is not a trivial matter." Wei Yong said aggrievedly.

Chen Liu sat up helplessly and said, "Speak."

"Sir, it's Wang Kuo from Caiyun City who has arrived. He is waiting outside the door. He said he came here on the orders of Long Guangxian." Wei Yong said.

"Long Guangxian?" Chen Liu was stunned for a moment, then stood up and muttered to himself, "This guy guards Caiyun City and lives a pretty comfortable life. Why would he come to my place?"

"Forget it, he's the guy who charged after me back then, let him in."

A moment later, Wang Kuo stepped into the yard with a nervous expression, not even daring to raise his head.

Although we had a battlefield friendship with Chenliu for a period of time in the past, things are different now.

On the battlefield, everyone is on the defensive, and you never know when you might be finished. No matter whether you are a general or a soldier, there may be a chance to be equal in the future.

Isn’t this the case with the current Grand Marshal Ning Fei? In the early stages of the war, Ning Fei did not participate at all. It was not until the middle stage that Ning Fei rose like a comet.

To this day, it is hard to say whether his status is higher than that of Chenliu, but the fact that he is still young is enough.

But now, the overall situation has been decided. Chen Liu has already reached the highest position in the country. The gap between the two sides is huge.

It’s hard to say whether I will still recognize their gratitude.

"Wang Kuo pays homage to His Excellency."

"Okay, get up. What did Long Guangxian ask you to come here for? Let's talk about business." Chen Liu said lightly.

"Yes." Wang Kuo straightened up, thought for a moment, and then said softly, "Sir, we have no other choice but to come here to disturb you."

Chen Liu said nothing and waited quietly for what would happen next.

Wang Kuo paused, then continued, "Sir, a few days ago, a group of outsiders came to Caiyun City. General Long's youngest son had a conflict with them. They beat me so hard that I couldn't get out of bed. I was so angry that I didn't expect that person to be wearing a yellow jacket and beat me up again."

"Oh, that's interesting. Keep going." The boredom on Chen Liu's face slowly disappeared.

"Later, General Long naturally wanted to help us get back at our wits' end, but unexpectedly, he couldn't find the man's whereabouts. When General Long approached, the man actually produced an imperial edict. We were supposed to kneel after seeing the edict, but he unexpectedly made us kneel for a full quarter of an hour!"

"What's even more outrageous is that he was still not satisfied afterwards and actually found the General's Mansion with the imperial edict. Now he acts arrogantly in the General's Mansion every day."

"We are suffering terribly, please help us!" Wang Kuo said, kneeling on one knee again.

Chen Liu nodded heavily: "Get up, you all followed me to fight this, I will naturally not ignore you."

"Do you have a portrait of that person? Or his name? It shouldn't be hard to find someone who has both a yellow jacket and an imperial edict."

Wang Kuo shook his head with a bitter expression: "Sir, I came here in a hurry and don't have any portraits. We investigated before, but we really didn't find anything."

"But I do know his name. His surname is Jiang, which means river, and his given name is Yuan, which means source of water."

Chen Liu was stunned for a moment before he reacted and looked at Wang Kuo with an exaggerated expression: "What the hell? You said that person's name is Jiang Yuan?"

Seeing Chen Liu's expression, Wang Kuo was shocked. Could this be the illegitimate son of some big boss?

"Yes, that's right." Wang Kuo said in a low voice.

Chen Liu was now completely refreshed. He hadn't heard from this guy for a long time since they last parted in the imperial capital. To be honest, he missed him a lot.

If it weren't for Jiang Yuan, it's hard to say whether he and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could return to the imperial capital alive.

"Sir, can we deal with this man?" Wang Kuo asked cautiously.

Chen Liu curled his lips and looked at Wang Kuo with a complicated expression. Can you handle it?

What kind of words are these? Only you can say such words to deal with Jiang Yuan. Ever since he brought Duanmu Yuanchen back to the imperial capital, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been talking about Jiang every other sentence.

If Duanmu Xiongtu had not stopped him, he would have been summoned to the Eastern Palace long ago.

It is not difficult to imagine how Jiang Yuan will be treated once Duanmu Yuanchen comes to power. He is definitely the backbone of the family. If you offend Jiang Yuan now, what good will happen to you in the future?

Besides, Jiang Yuan and I had a friendship of stealing dogs together.

"Sir? Sir?" Seeing Chen Liu didn't speak, Wang Kuo hurriedly reminded him in a low voice.

Chen Liu sighed helplessly, "Why did you pick on him when you could pick on anyone else?"
