I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 109
to be frank?
Hearing Wei Changtian's sudden words, everyone looked at each other and temporarily shut their mouths.

Chen Bo hesitated and asked, "My lord, what do you mean by that?"

"Ha ha."

Wei Changtian smiled, looked at Chen Bo and asked, "Master Chen, you have been in Shuzhou for almost twenty years, and the position of governor has not been moved for nearly ten years, right?"

"Yes……"

Chen Bo nodded bitterly, and then heard Wei Changtian continue:

"Master Chen, everyone, you all have a chance to take another step forward."

"To be honest, although I was assigned to Shuzhou this time, I actually shoulder the great trust of my family."

"This matter is very secretive. It is inconvenient for my father to tell you directly. You only need to know that it is of great importance."

"But if you want to do this, you have to borrow the power from your hands. It's not because I have any ideas about the Shuzhou sub-helm... Do you understand what I mean?"

"..."

Chen Bo's eyes widened slightly: "My lord, I don't know what it is..."

"As I said, this matter is very secretive."

Wei Changtian took a sip of his tea and said with a smile, "But don't worry, it's definitely not for you to rebel."

"My lord was joking..."

Chen Bo sneered, feeling mixed feelings.

It sounds like Wei Changtian wants to borrow their knives to do something, and it's something that can't be put on the table.

Although Xuan Jingsi has done many such things, Wei Changtian is a person who dared to kill the prime minister after all, who knows what troubles will happen this time.

And if the basket that was poked out was too big, they would all be unable to eat and walk around.

But with risk comes reward...

"My lords, please help me..."

Wei Changtian glanced around the crowd quite seriously, and said sincerely: "As long as you are willing to help me complete this matter, after three years, I guarantee that everyone will be promoted to at least two ranks."

"Master Chen, then you can return to Beijing with me."

"Back to Beijing..."

Of course Chen Bo understood the meaning, and couldn't help swallowing.

This is something he has been thinking about day and night.

In order to prevent the local clan from becoming too powerful, all important local officials in Daning had to "serve in other places."

So although he said that he was comfortable in Shuzhou these years, in fact he had already stayed enough.

It's not that he never thought about being transferred back to the capital, but all the "transfer invitations" he submitted every year fell silent, and made Chen Bo even more helpless. He once thought that he would spend his whole life in Shuzhou like this.

But now, the opportunity finally came...

It has to be said that Wei Changtian's promise is really attractive to Chen Bo.

He hesitated for a long time, then suddenly stood up with a flick of his sleeves and bowed deeply to Wei Changtian.

"Young Master Wei, no matter what happens, I, Shuzhou branch, are willing to listen to your orders!"

Seeing that the boss had expressed his opinion, and the rest of the people were silent, they immediately got up and worshiped:

"Willing to listen to the master!"

"Hahaha, good!"

Wei Changtian didn't put on airs this time, he stood up and saluted everyone, "Don't worry, everyone, I keep what I say, and I won't let you down!"

"I will never let you down!"

"..."

A group of people spoke boldly back and forth, and the atmosphere in the room finally became relaxed and happy for the first time.

No matter what these people say is true or not, at least they have obeyed Wei Changtian on the surface.

"My lord, what shall we do next?"

After sitting down again, Chen Bo said seriously: "You just need to tell me!"

"Hahaha, Mr. Chen doesn't need to be so nervous."

Wei Changtian waved his hands and said with a smile: "There is only one thing right now... I wonder how much you know about the Xuantianhui?"

"Xuantian will..."

Chen Bo looked up at a middle-aged man, who immediately stood up.

It was Wang Daochang, the thousand households who managed the commoner guards introduced earlier.

"Back to the son!"

The man clasped his fist at Wei Changtian, and said in a deep voice, "The Xuantian Society's scale in Shuzhou is not very large. There are about two thousand people in the gang, and they are divided into five halls..."

"The name of the fragrance owner is Bai Sheng'an, and the strength of the fifth-rank realm..."

"..."

Wang Daochang quickly explained the situation of Xuantianhui's Shuzhou division. Wei Changtian listened carefully, and then asked again:

"Does the Xuanjing Division have spies in the Xuantian Association?"

"Have!"

"That's good... Mr. Wang, please help me to check one thing."

Wei Changtian pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "In the next few days, there may be an important person in the Xuantian meeting coming to Shuzhou from the capital, named Xiao Feng."

"This person is about six feet tall, often wears a black long sword, and looks ordinary."

"I'll bring you a portrait of this person later... But there's a high probability that he will use a pseudonym and change his appearance."

"This Xiao Feng is very important. It is directly related to the success or failure of what I have done. I also ask Mr. Wang to find him out."

"Young master, don't worry! I will definitely find this Xiao Feng!"

Wang Daochang patted his chest to reassure, and then asked tentatively: "However, how do you plan to deal with this man?"

"Is it just monitoring? Or should I capture it or kill it?"

Pull it down.

Just you people, if you can catch or kill Xiao Feng, I will screw my head off and kick it for you.

As long as I can find out, I am very content.

Wei Changtian complained silently in his heart, without changing his expression, he said: "It's enough to monitor, don't act rashly."

"The subordinate understands!"

Wang Daochang sat back to his seat in response, and after everyone chatted for a while, Chen Bo was ready to leave.

Apart from the box of ledgers, they also brought a lot of gold, silver and jewels with them, but Wei Changtian didn't want any of them, and only left a few crimson tokens representing the highest alert level for emergencies.

Seeing this fire, all the officials of the Xuanjing Division must rush to the place where the incident happened immediately, the effect is similar to that piece of ancestral jade in the general yamen.

"Young Master, let's go back first. If you have something to do, just send someone to the Si Li to inform you."

At the gate of the house, Chen Bo and others were very satisfied with the results of this visit, and the nervous look on their faces was gone.

"Okay, I won't send it away."

Wei Changtian stood still, and then said casually as if he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I almost forgot one thing."

"Sir, please tell me." Chen Bo stopped immediately.

"It's not a big deal."

Wei Changtian smiled, and his tone was calm: "Master Chen, the carriage ran too fast when you came, and knocked down a hawker selling candied haws at the corner of the alley... Did you ever know?"

"This……"

Chen Bo was stunned for a moment, but his reaction was quick, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, this is my negligence. I will send someone to deal with that vendor right away. I will never..."

"What do murderers do?"

Wei Changtian squinted at the past: "You are so motivating people to come to me, are you afraid that others will see you?"

"That……"

Chen Bo rolled his eyes and understood again.

Mr. Wei, who has killed countless people with his emotions, suddenly showed kindness!
"I understand my son, after we find the merchant, we will double compensate his loss, and we will never..."

"Master Chen, you still don't understand."

Wei Changtian shook his head and interrupted Chen Bo with a double goal, reaching out and patted him on the shoulder lightly.

"I mean, if you come back later, drive the carriage slower."

"Or just stop a little farther away and walk over. It's not a few steps anyway."

"Do you understand this time?"

"..."

The smile on Chen Bo's face froze for an instant, and his body seemed to have been shortened by Wei Changtian.

"Young master, I will understand, understand."
