Chapter 7334 Puppet


Chapter 7334 Puppet

Inside Taian City.

Xu Santong was leaning on the recliner, eyes half-squinted.

He had just had lunch and he was feeling sleepy.

At this time, he would take a nap so that he could have the energy to deal with official duties in the afternoon and night.

While he was half asleep and half awake, he suddenly saw a strange figure standing on the edge of the recliner.

In an instant, cold sweat filled his body, and the original sleepiness disappeared.

“Who is it?”

Xu Santong raised his hand and took out a long sword, holding it in his hand, facing forward, his eyes widened, full of vigilance, looking at The figure of a strange woman with her back to him.

"Master Xu, if I do anything bad to you, you will already be dead!" The strange woman's voice reached Xu Santong's ears leisurely.

"Relax, put down the sword in your hand." The strange woman turned around and looked at Xu Santong.

Xu Santong saw the token in the strange woman's hand, and his nervous mood relaxed a little.

"Lord Ziyan, commander of the hidden guards?" Xu Santong guessed when he saw a purple character on the token and thought of the imperial court's secret writings mentioning this matter.

"Yes, Mr. Xu, don't talk too much. I'm here to come to you this time. I have something to discuss with you." Zi Yan said straight to the point.

"Did the imperial court ask for assistance in the investigation?" Xu Santong didn't like to deal with hidden guards. In fact, almost no court officials liked to deal with hidden guards.

Probably because the hidden guards investigated the secrets of officials, they knew too many secrets. Among the officials, there were very few who could fully withstand the investigation. Most officials had some problems.

"No, someone else will be responsible for assisting the officials in investigating Tai'an City. I am here this time to discuss matters related to the Wei family."

"Master Xu, how much do you know about the Wei family? "Zi Yan stared at Xu Santong's eyes.

The Wei family is so powerful in Tai'an City, no one can guarantee whether Xu Santong is colluding with the Wei family.

But Zi Yan still chose the most direct way to come to her door.

The reason is simple. She doesn't have much time to waste and must get a result as soon as possible.

She stared at Xu Santong, wanting to make some judgments from the changes in his eyes.

"The Wei family! The Wei family are not good people." Xu Santong gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"Master Xu, what do you mean by this? Isn't the Wei family people under the rule of the imperial court?" Zi Yan said.

"There are many bad things done in the Wei family's fish and meat village, and the court should eradicate them as soon as possible." Xu Santong said seriously.

"Since there are many crimes committed by the Wei family, how much evidence does Mr. Xu have in his hands? Moreover, Mr. Xu is the governor of Changzhou County. He can dispatch soldiers and government officials to arrest the Wei family." Zi Yan said lightly.

"If I can do it, can I still sit idly by and ignore it? I can't change the soldiers and government officials." Xu Santong said with a hint of self-deprecation in his tone.

"Why? Mr. Xu is the prefect..." Zi Yan frowned.

“The local soldiers and government officials are privately raised by wealthy families. They also obey the court’s orders in small matters, but as long as it involves the local wealthy families, they will not obey them. "

"You see I have swords around me, just because I am worried that someone will suddenly break in...Hey, I am really worried all the time," Xu Santong said with a bitter smile.

"It's quite difficult for you, the prefect, to do."

Zi Yan pursed her lips and said, "Master Xu, here in the Wei family, I have some new information, please take a look."

Zi Yan took out a piece of information and placed it in front of Xu Santong. Xu Santong picked up a thick stack of paper and looked at it carefully.

"The Wei family deserves to be damned. I didn't expect that the Wei family also had elite soldiers!" Xu Santong sneered.

But he was secretly glad in his heart!

Fortunately, he usually endured it and did not confront the Wei family head-on.

If he had chosen to fight with the Wei family, he might have died without a burial place!

"What can Master Ziyan do? There is nothing I can do here." Xu Santong felt sad. He was just a lame prefect, unable to play a big role. He was actually a puppet.

"You don't need to take care of the Wei family's troops, Master Xu. All you have to do is sit in charge of the government office and don't let the government be used by wealthy families." Zi Yan said.

"Okay." Xu Santong nodded.

......

"The Lin family is second only to the Wei family in Tai'an City. It is a powerful family."

"The Lin family is different from the Wei family. The Wei family is Migrated from the south, and the Lin family was born and raised there. A true northerner.”

“When the Southern Dynasty was still there, the Lin family already existed in this area. In Changzhou County, the Lin family was also recognized as a big surname. In the mountains and forests, there were many mountain people. They are all descendants of the surname Lin.”

"Of course, the Lin family in the city now is only the most powerful Lin family. It is not just this Lin family that can really be traced back hundreds of thousands of years."

Wei Linqi carefully told Luo Xingchen about the Lin family. .

"In other words, there are conflicts between the Lin family and the Wei family?" Luo Xingchen frowned.

The situation in Changzhou County was much more troublesome than he imagined.

And he won't be able to stay in Tai'an City for too long. He is still waiting to go north to Beiliyuan.

"Yes, the Lin family, the Wei family, and the other families usually have conflicts." Wei Linqi nodded.

"No matter what conflicts they have, this time we will kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and we will attack the Wei family first."

"Brother Wei, who in your family needs protection? You can make a list in advance, so as not to Accidental injury." Luo Xing Chen didn't want to play intrigue games with the Wei family anymore, so he decided to defeat the strongest power of the Wei family in one go. What was left would naturally be like destruction. No matter how deep-rooted the Wei family was, there would be no escape from the end.

"Okay."

Wei Linqi agreed without hesitation. He did have many acquaintances in the Wei family who needed protection. There was no point in being pretentious at this time.

At this time, the house where they lived, shopkeeper Wang, lacked everything including the Four Treasures of the Study.

It didn’t take long for Wei Linqi to write down the list.

Luo Xingchen said: "Brother Wei, do you want to stay at Wang's house and wait, or follow me out of the city?" Luo Xingchen gave him two choices.

"I will follow you out of the city. I want to see the Wei family fall with my own eyes." Wei Linqi gritted his teeth.

Luo Xingchen discovered that he had underestimated Wei Linqi's hatred for the Wei family... This hatred was so strong.

"Then let's go together."

Luo Xingchen waited for a while and saw Zi Yan coming from outside.

"Prefect Xu Santong, I have passed the Qi. Now there is no need to think about anything, just assemble the team and set off." Zi Yan said lightly.

"Sister Ziyan, where is the Wei family's team hiding? Have you found out?" Luo Xingchen said.

"Actually, we have known where the Wei family's team is hiding for a long time... Bi She has already got the answer from the bandits in Honglin Ridge!" Zi Yan said.
