Feng He laughed and said, "Sir, I definitely didn't expect them to be so brave."

Long Chen asked, "What do you say?"

Feng He said: "Everyone whom I met at the governor's house tonight was a pirate."

Zhang Qian said in surprise: "How is that possible! All the officials in the governor's office of a county are pirates?"

Long Chen felt more and more interesting, and he was all thieves.

Long Chen asked, "Since it's all pirates, why did Chen Zu submit a memorial request to the court to send troops to combat the enemy? He deliberately led us to come?"

Feng He said: "This is the interesting thing."

"The governor Chen Zu came to office three years ago. When he came, the officials of Qianjiang County, including the chef, were already pirates."

Zhang Qian said in shock: "Then isn't he a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?"

Feng He laughed and said, "Yes, it's just that sheep enters the tiger's mouth. Everyone in the governor's mansion lied to him. Chen Zu didn't know there were pirates here at all."

"Just a while ago, Zhenhai County was captured and some people from Zhenhai were wandering to Qianjiang County. When Chen Zu saw it, he realized that the situation was wrong, so he submitted a letter to ask the court to send troops."

"After the memorial was sent out, Chen Zu was killed. Now Chen Zu is a substitute."

In this way, the whole thing can be explained.

They have been cheating and concealing for three years. Under their surveillance, Chen Zu can imitate every move. If he changes to Chen Zu's substitute, he can also use fake as real.

Also, Wu Wenjing, the Minister of Justice, may not have lie. When he arrived in Qianjiang County, Chen Zu told him that there were no pirates. Wu Wenjing believed it and reported to the Empress that everything was safe.

After Wu Wenjing was arrested, he was scolded in prison and led to the Shangshu Hu Chengfu.

Zhang Qian felt furrowed all over, which means that they were drinking with a group of pirates just now, and there were enemies around them.

"Sir, Qianjiang County cannot go to again, and you must never enter the city."

Long Chen did not answer, but quietly thought about how to break the deadlock.

To pacify the pirates, you must first solve the internal problems. If Qianjiang County cannot take over, you will not be able to discuss other matters.

"Sir, there is one more thing."

"The people from the Imperial City Department have arrived. Today I met the Lord's Attorney Hou Ping."

Feng He's voice suddenly became cold and harsh.

Long Chen and Feng He are both from Nanliang, and the Imperial City Department is Li Chengdao's minions, and they all know very well.

Hou Ping is the powerful leader of the Imperial City Department. His cultivation is at the peak of the king. He is best at hidden weapons and poisoning. This person is extremely difficult to deal with, and even Feng He is a little scared to speak of.

"Hou Ping has arrived, which means that the elite of the Imperial City Department has also arrived, so fast."

Long Chen was secretly surprised, but he didn't expect Li Chengdao to kill him so anxiously.

Zhang Qian had heard of the Imperial City Department, just like the Shadow Guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a spy force founded by the emperor.

"Sir, the pirates and the people from the Imperial City Division have come. We are no match for help from the court."

Zhang Qian was afraid that something would happen to Long Chen, so she chose to ask the empress for help. This was the safest way.

Long Chen shook his head and said, "No, the imperial court is now in short supply, I must solve it myself."

The Empress must have expected these situations, and she was giving Long Chen the test questions.

Zhang Qian said anxiously: "But the power on both sides is too strong, and we are not enough."

Feng He laughed and said, "General Zhang said on both sides? The secret guards of the General's Mansion have also arrived. I didn't see Wuming, but I guess Wuming should have arrived."

Zhang Qian was stunned. She knew that Wuming was the leader of Jing Tianlie's secret guard and her cultivation level was in the realm of the Martial Emperor.

"This...what should I do?"

Zhang Qian was panicked this time.

Long Chen stood by the river, looking at the dark river water, and the fluorescence in the water appeared and disappeared from time to time.

The three forces gathered in Qianjiang County. The purpose of the Secret Guards and the Imperial City Department was to kill Long Chen. The pirates seemed to want to hide it and did not intend to break up with the court.

If you want to break the deadlock, you can only...

"Can you find the secret guards and the Imperial City Department?"

Long Chen asked Feng He.

Feng He smiled and said, "Sir, I can't cultivate myself. I can find someone. I'll give me two days to find at least 80% of them."

Long Chen said: "80% is enough."

Feng He turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Zhang Qian asked: "I suggest seeking assistance from the court. You can't take risks. If something goes wrong, how can I explain to the princess?"

Long Chen smiled and said, "The mountain man has his own tricks."

Zhang Qian knew that Long Chen was very tricky, and seeing that he was so confident, she stopped insisting.

Back at the military tent, Long Chen called Dugu Jiali over and said, "Send dozens of people out to grab things in the surrounding villages and towns."

Dugu Jiali was surprised and asked, "Sir, let me go... grab something?"

She thought she had heard it wrong.

Long Chen said word by word, "That's right, I'll ask you to steal things, but you are not allowed to kill anyone!"

Dugu Jiali asked, "Why?"

Long Chen smiled and said, "Just go, you must remember where you rob it. I will compensate you at that time."

Dugu Jiali couldn't understand why, but Long Chen gave the order and she could only execute it.

He ordered 30 people and asked them to ride horses to plunder the surrounding villages and towns overnight.

....

In Qianjiang City.

Chen Zu and a group of officials sent Long Chen out of the city gate. When he returned to the governor's mansion, there were three people sitting in the hall, Xu Zhi in the middle, and two middle-aged men next to him.

The man on the left has a long beard, which is Yuan Tengfei; the man on the right has a very honest look, which is Wang Zhong.

The three of them are the real masters of Qianjiang County.

When Chen Zu saw the three of them, he rolled up his sleeves and bowed his hands and shouted, "Greetings to Grandpa Sanzu."

Xu Zhi and the other two were called Qian Jiang's third grandfather, Xu Zhi ranked first, Yuan Tengfei ranked second, and Wang Zhong ranked third.

The officials behind him also rolled up their sleeves and shouted, "Greetings to Grandpa Sanzu."

These people have no official etiquette and are just like a wild act.

"Why didn't Long Cheng'en be kept?"

Xu Zhi asked coldly.

Chen Zu immediately replied respectfully: "Grandpa Zu, Long Chengen insisted on spending the night outside the city. The young man was afraid that he would be suspicious, so he let him go."

Xu Zhi turned his head and asked the bald man next to him. This man was Xu Zhi's dog-headed military advisor: "Master Fayin, what do you think?"

This bald man was originally a teacher. Later, he became a monk and did not recite scriptures well. He followed Xu Zhi to make suggestions and gave himself a Dharma name.

"I just saw this. Long Chengen is very smart and can't figure out his background."

"He asked how many pirates were. We said 100,000, and he believed it, which means he didn't understand the situation."

"But he asked the Wu family in Zhenhai again, maybe he knew something again."

"So, I think I'll see what he wants to do."

The Fayin rubbed his fat neck and rubbed a layer of dirt.

County Magistrate Song Tongyang shouted: "Master Fayin is worse than slaughtering it with one knife, just like killing Chen Zu."

Xu Zhi cursed: "He is the imperial envoy. If we kill him, we will be exposed."

Yuan Tengfei said: "I didn't see anything unusual at the banquet tonight, and Long Chengen didn't doubt us either. I also thought I'd like to take a look."

Wang Zhong pointed to Song Tongyang and his group of people and cursed: "It's all a little bit awake for me, don't reveal any flaws. Whoever messed up for me, will I kill whom!"

At this time, someone ran in outside and shouted, "San Zu, something happened!"
