Chen Ping'an sat on the chair, thinking about the contents of the letter.
He briefly analyzed the contents of the letter and found it to be highly credible.
He could not forget what Zhao Lianzhi of Weishui Town Fusi told him when he asked him to rush to the trade road station.
"The official said that the Long'an Trade Road is about to open, and many forces on the periphery of the trade road are causing trouble. Official matters are coming like a tide, and there are so many threads that it is difficult for him to sort them out by himself. He hopes that the inspections dispatched by the Town and Fu Division will be carried out. The deputy envoy will be in place as soon as possible!”
Business and miscellaneous matters come flooding in?
There are so many things and it’s really hard to sort them out?
Chen Pingan couldn't help but feel a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Neglected in official duties? Addicted to Gentle Country?
Is this how Guan Yuping clarifies his official duties?
Interesting!
It’s really interesting!
Chen Ping'an touched his arms, and there lay quietly a string of bracelets woven from colorful silk threads.
"Nanny."
Chen Pingan closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, there was no obvious emotion on his face, and his eyes were as deep as a bottomless pool.
What is Zhao Zhiting's purpose in sending this letter to me?
Do you really hope that he will investigate Feng Shixian’s matter clearly? Or is it in the interests of their Qiankun Division that he investigate Feng Shixian's affairs clearly?
Do you want him to fight Guan Yuping and the Qiankun Division to reap the benefits? Or do you hope that he will see clearly the reality of Zhenfusi so that you can win over him?
Or is there some other reason?
Chen Ping'an recalled the scene of the exchange with Zhao Zhiting in his mind, combing through every word in the letter, trying to piece together a complete motive from the fragmented information.
After a long time, Chen Pingan stood up from the chair.
"It's useless no matter how much you think about it if you just want to stop doing it! Since it started from Feng Shixian's death, let's investigate the matter clearly first. In addition..."
"I don't care what conspiracies and plans you have. If you really piss me off, Guan Yuping or Zhao Zhiting, I'll slap them to death!"
Buzz~
A golden light flashed between Chen Pingan's eyebrows, with a hint of indescribable domineering.
With clear direction, Chen Pingan was ready to personally visit the place where Feng Shixian died early the next morning.
When I was about to go out, I happened to meet a general flag who was about to lead the team out.
"Master Chen, are you going out?"
This general bannerman is called Niu Liangge, and he rides on a tall horse, with more than 20 elite officers behind him. He looked at Chen Pingan, who was going out alone, with a hint of joking in his eyes.
It has been quite a while since Chen Pingan took office. But Guan Yuping, who was the patrol envoy of the outer trade route, has not returned for a long time. They all saw Guan Yuping's attitude towards Chen Ping'an.
As the saying goes, what is done above will be effective below!
In addition, Chen Ping'an had just arrived, and there was no handover of authority. He only had the title of Deputy Inspector, but his subordinates had no real power. Especially when he saw Chen Ping'an alone and surrounded by people behind him, Niu Liangge lost his respect even more.
However, Niu Liangge is not a fool. There was no obvious disrespect or loss of respect.
"Niu Zongqi!"
Chen Pingan glanced at Niu Lianghu.
Although the other party's tone sounded respectful, Chen Pingan didn't like the look in his eyes. This is not like the look a subordinate looks at his superior at all. "Why don't you dismount your horse when you see me?"
Chen Ping'an is now the deputy envoy for patrolling the periphery of the trade route, with the rank of deputy commander, and is qualified to call himself the envoy. But in normal times, he tends to show his approachable side, so he doesn't use it often.
Hearing this, Niu Liang was startled.
As a subordinate, when he saw his superior, strictly speaking, he really needed to dismount and salute. But most of the time, everyone just lets it go and doesn't implement it in such a rigid manner.
Since taking office, Chen Pingan talks to them with a gentle tone and a smile on his face. He looks like a good scholar wherever he goes. Just now, he wanted to take advantage of the situation and grow his face in front of his subordinates. Thinking of the other party's personality, he probably wouldn't say anything.
But he never expected that the other party would have such a strong reaction.
This made him stunned for a moment.
Um?
Chen Ping'an's eyes fell on Niu Lianghu's body, as if it was extremely important.
Feeling the other person's gaze, Niu Liangji's expression suddenly changed, and a piece of information that he had consciously ignored suddenly came to his mind.
Ninety-one on the rookie list, Rang Dao! Acting recklessly and regardless of the consequences
In full view of the public, Niu Liangge managed a smile, dismounted from his horse, and saluted Chen Ping'an.
"You are a good-looking cow with a humble job, please see Mr. Chen!"
Looking at Niu Lianghou who was bowing respectfully, Chen Ping'an's lips curved into a faint sneer.
He has been keeping a low profile for too long, so Guan Yuping can forget about it. Now that he has returned to the station, all the cats and dogs dare to show their faces to him!
Today, if Niu Liangge behaves like this, if he ignores it and does not take any countermeasures, I am afraid that it will become worse in the future, and even everyone will follow his example.
The first-in-command doesn't like the second-in-command, and the second-in-command is controlled by a clay figure. If he has no temperament, I'm afraid some opportunists will pull over the second-in-command in order to please the first-in-command!
The word "people's heart" is difficult to fathom.
But being a true leader is not just about having great power. It's more about being able to control people's hearts and control situations.
"Niu Liangge, sometimes I just look at the meaning above and can't see anything clearly. In the end, I get dizzy! Doing your own thing honestly and fulfilling your duties is more important than anything else!"
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your guidance. I will keep my humble position in my heart." Niu Lianghu lowered his head and couldn't see clearly the expression on his face. He didn't know whether he listened to Chen Pingan's words.
Chen Ping'an ignored him. After beating the other party, he pulled the reins and walked straight out of the station gate.
It wasn't until Chen Ping'an left that Niu Liangge slowly raised his head and sneered: "What a powerful official! If you didn't know, you would have thought you were an inspection envoy!"
Niu Liangji sneered and immediately got on his horse. When he looked in the direction where Chen Pingan left again, Chen Pingan's back had disappeared at the end of the road.
Looking around, Niu Liangge showed a trace of contempt on his face: "I have the title of Deputy Inspector, but I am alone when I go out. After all, except for the few crooked melons and cracked dates I brought, I have no one." People are available. We are already in such a weak position. In such a situation, if you don't make friends with us, you still dare to rely on your identity to show off. It is simply a fool's errand!
Is it possible that you thought you alone could defeat the official? ? It’s simply a fantasy! "
Niu Liangge sneered softly, rode his horse in a circle, and shouted loudly to the riders behind him.
"Brothers, set out on inspection!"
"Yes, Lord Niu!" all the riders behind him shouted.
The hooves of the horses rolled out of the gate of the station, raising a cloud of dust and smoke. Compared with Chen Ping'an alone, their movements were undoubtedly much louder. (End of chapter)
