Chapter 64 Vigilance
A few days later, it was still quiet.

Hundreds of people died so quietly that even the corpses could not be found, and there are many masters of the seventh and eighth ranks among them.

It directly frightened many powerful families headed by the Chen family.

It is said that a family head who was too old died in bed that night due to cardiac arrest.

Especially since there has been no follow-up on this matter, they have been in a state of anxiety for several days in a row.

It wasn't until the postal service sent someone to deliver a contract respectively that everyone's nervousness finally came to an end.

It looks like it's just an ordinary cooperation contract, but when you look at it in a coherent way, it's better to say that it's written two words brightly, and it's included.

Even in a sense, although they do not have the establishment of the imperial court, they have become a subordinate force of the postal service.

If it was before, they are afraid that someone will spit twice, and then throw this contract on the ground and step on it.

But at this moment, everyone, including the Chen family who is related to Jiangnan governor Xue Qing, also signed the contract immediately.

Frontal confrontation is not enough, and small tricks behind the scenes will also be crushed. Now that there is an olive branch handed over, which can give them a way out, if they refuse again, I am afraid that they will really know what to do.

Especially so far they don't know what kind of force is it that kills all of their people so easily.

But the unknown is more frightening.

In short, it's enough to be strong, at least not something they can compete with.

Even because of this matter, the masters of their families were almost lost.

It's not bad to keep the lintel of the family, how dare you make trouble again?

In the capital, in the procuratorate, Chen Pingping looked at the information at hand, and her complexion also showed a rare dignified expression.

He didn't know that there was such an unknown power under the crown prince's subordinates.

Could it be that besides the startled salamander, there are other nine ranks under the crown prince?
What surprised him the most was that even the Overwatch Council had never been aware of this force.

Even this time, the Overwatch Council did not find much information.

How many masters there are is still a mystery.

He lightly tapped the armrest with his fingers for a long time, and then suddenly laughed.

"The prince can really surprise people again and again."

However, the person in the palace might not be able to sit still now.

Chen Pingping thought, and the smile on the corner of her mouth involuntarily became stronger.

In the palace, Emperor Qing was sitting in the imperial study with an uncertain face.

What the Overwatch Council can find out, the inner court is naturally not bad.

This was the first time Emperor Qing felt that there were some things beyond his control in this huge city of Kyoto.

The power under the crown prince's command has unexpectedly developed to this point.

He is gratified by the prince's ability, but he also has the natural vigilance and defense against the prince when he is sitting in this position.

As a king, he hated this feeling of being out of control.

After a long time, the light in his eyes flashed away.

It seems that he wants to collect the internal treasury, and the postal service cannot be left in the prince's hands either.

However, Neiku has already selected someone to take over, so who should the post be handed over to?

After thinking for a while, he asked, "What has Li Chengze been doing recently?"

In the corner, Eunuch Yao stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness, the Second Prince, is mostly in the mansion to cultivate himself recently."

Emperor Qing frowned, and said: "Cultivate one's body and cultivate one's character? I'm afraid it's not playing with things and losing one's ambition!"

He said coldly: "Send someone to ask him on my behalf, do you still remember what official business is? Could it be that what the palace said that day was all empty talk? Can you know the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Eunuch Yao's face tightened, bullying the king?This is a great sin.

He hastily said: "The servant obeys the order."

Watching Eunuch Yao go away, Emperor Qing's expression gradually returned to calm.

Today, the prince's strength has been somewhat out of balance.

It is an appropriate move to hand over the postal service to the second prince.

Moreover, he felt that the prince could no longer be placed outside to cause trouble, but had to be under the nose.

What's more, after the incidents of Xinbao and Postal Service, it's time for the prince to really step into court.

It's just that what position should be arranged for the prince still gives him some headaches.

Putting it under the nose is not to abolish the crown prince.

It is always necessary to find some positions for him that can exercise his ability, and they cannot be too critical positions.

Looking at the court, it is really not a simple matter.

He pressed his temples and let out a slow breath.

And look again.

Moreover, there must be a suitable reason to take the postal service away from the prince.

Leisure Palace.

Li Chengze finished listening to the eunuch Yao's recitation of Emperor Qing's oral order with a calm expression.

Respectfully said: "I know my mistake, and I will definitely do my best to participate in official affairs."

He knew that it must be his indifference to the postal service these days that angered his father.

Moreover, he could hear the meaning of Emperor Qing's words, which was nothing more than telling him to hurry up and fight for power and profit with the crown prince, and not to stay idle in the mansion all day long.

It's just that he was a little unclear why Emperor Qing would do such a thing all of a sudden.

Could it be that the prince did something else?
To let Emperor Qing urge him to fight with the crown prince?

Not long after this scene, in the East Palace, Li Chengqian also found out about it through the net.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself, Emperor Qing seemed to have begun to pave the way for depriving him of the post of postal commander.

As soon as he left, it was natural for Li Chengze, the deputy commander, to take the position.

If the predecessor managed to do such a great thing, and his father gave the result to the second prince who was eyeing the crown prince in a blink of an eye, the predecessor might explode on the spot.

Fortunately, Li Chengze is also his person now, even if he leaves the post office, at least Gao Lishi's position will not be moved for a short time.

And even if Gao Lishi left the post later, as long as the post still maintains the existing route and policy, and keeps cooperating with his three major banks, it will still be harmless.

Instead, it will make him move from the front of the stage to behind the scenes again.

It would be a good thing.

However, if Emperor Qing wanted to take the Postal Service from him, he would have to come up with a sufficient bargaining chip.

He smiled slightly, but he didn't take this matter to heart.

Recently, he heard that an oiran named Si Lili came to a flower boat named Zuixianju in Liujinghe, Kyoto.
Both singing and dancing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all good.

He spent a lot of money in the newspapers, and he has gained a lot of fame recently.

He has never been to such a place in his two lifetimes. After all, he still has to restrain himself a lot compared to his predecessor who was not taboo about meat and vegetables.

But this time he was interested, not for anything else, just because the oiran was called Si Lili.

Moreover, since Emperor Qing wanted to take over his post office, as his son, if he didn't take the initiative to send it over for a reason, how could he show his filial piety?
