Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 247
finally come……

It feels a bit long overdue.

Chen Jin immediately sent people to call back his uncle, second uncle, Gu Leyou, Ma Shengshen and other key personnel.

Lao Zhu waited for a while and couldn't help but said: "Sir, the imperial envoy is still waiting at the dock."

According to the rules and etiquette, when an imperial envoy comes to a local area, he will basically send someone to inform him in advance, so that local officials can line up to greet him to show his pomp and majesty.

Chen Jin sat in the court and said calmly: "The other officials are not here yet, please wait a moment."

Another quarter of an hour later, everyone came back. When they heard that the imperial envoy had arrived, their expressions changed a little.

"Let's go and meet the imperial envoy."

Chen Jin gave an order.

Gu Leyou followed him on horseback and couldn't help but ask: "Scholar, what do you think will happen when someone from the court comes at this moment?"

Chen Jin pondered: "It's probably not a good thing."

Gu Leyou suddenly made a serious face: "We are developing in full swing now. The situation is great, but don't let bad things happen."

Chen Jin smiled and said: "As the saying goes: it is beyond the reach of a whip."

Gu Leyou's eyes lit up and he joked: "Is this 'whip' serious?"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

"Brother, look at Xiao Lang, why are you smiling so playfully and not caring at all?"

Qiu Bulai said in confusion: "That's the imperial envoy, but he beheaded first and then punished. He is very cruel. If you offend him, can you get good results?"

Qiu Bugui said coldly: "Today is different from the past... Let's wait and see. Let's act based on Xiao Lang's eyes."

Qiu Bulai suddenly thought of a certain possibility, his expression tightened, and he said no more.

When we arrived at the pier, we saw a procession of honor guards surrounding a large car.

The other party was already impatient with waiting. The leader of the guards came forward and shouted: "Master Chen, why did you come so late? This is a crime of neglect."

Chen Jin did not dismount, but said calmly: "You claim to be an imperial envoy, but I will send someone to verify the authenticity."

The leader of the guards was surprised: "Who dares to pretend to be an imperial envoy? No, Mr. Chen, what do you mean?"

Chen Jin replied: "The world is in chaos and thieves are rampant, so be careful."

With a wave of his hand, Ma Shengshen behind him immediately dismounted and stepped forward.

"Who dares?"

The leader of the guards immediately drew his sword in his hand, and his subordinates followed suit.They have always been arrogant and arrogant. They are wearing the status of imperial envoys. Wherever they go, who is not flattering and trying to please everyone?

I never expected that when I came to this deserted island, I would be treated so rudely.

"stop!"

A high-pitched voice came from the carriage, and then a white-faced and beardless father-in-law walked out. He was tall and looked at Chen Jin with a pair of slender eyes: "Is this your Excellency Mr. Chen?"

"It is this official."

"Our surname is Gao. What Mr. Chen is doing is extremely disrespectful. Are you sure you are going to make a big fuss?"

This guy came out and immediately put on his hat.

Chen Jin cupped his fists and said, "It turns out it's Eunuch Gao. Well, he is indeed a true father-in-law."

Hearing this, Eunuch Gao's face suddenly turned pale.

The disabled man hated others for mentioning this, and said angrily: "I see Master Chen is arrogant and domineering, and he doesn't want to welcome the imperial edict."

Chen Jin waved his hand: "Since there is an imperial edict, I would like to hear what it is and tell whether it is true or false."

"you!"

Eunuch Gao was really angry and immediately took out a roll of yellow silk: "Chen Jin, the magistrate of Rakshasa Haizhou, received the order." Seeing that Chen Jin had no intention of kneeling down, he didn't bother to pursue it and started reading directly.

The imperial edict was written in a clumsy way, but its meaning was very simple. The main thing was that Chen Jin should resign and return to Beijing, and that he should be appointed.

After hearing this, Chen Jin raised his eyebrows: "The imperial edict said that I will leave immediately after receiving the edict?"

"Yes, you are the one who has to listen to the orders on the dock. You have no one to blame."

"What if I don't go?"

Eunuch Gao's expression changed, and he looked around, with a hint of sternness in his expression: "Resisting and disobeying the decree is a capital crime. You'd better think clearly."

Chen Jin suddenly smiled: "Don't think about it, I declare that you are falsely passing on the imperial edict. Come on, take it!"

Ma Shengshen held a sickle in one hand and an iron rope in the other, and stepped forward to take the person.

Eunuch Gao shouted angrily: "Reverse."

Under the leadership of the guard leader, more than a dozen guards rushed forward immediately.

They are well-trained, have good fighting ability, and are quite capable, but they are simply not enough to be seen in front of Ma Shengshen.

Ma Shengshen is usually a serious man, but when he encounters a big change and survives a catastrophe, he is actually holding a fire in his heart.

This fire is burning and needs an outlet.

He hated the inner factory. Eunuch Gao was an eunuch and must have something to do with the inner factory.

After a while, all the guards were knocked to the ground, dead and wounded.Eunuch Gao himself was also a practitioner. Seeing that the momentum was not right, he was about to run away, but Qiu Bugui stopped him, grabbed him, stamped his foot on the ground, and shouted: "Tell me honestly, what is this imperial edict about?" ?”

Such a commotion had already alerted the people on the pier. They did not dare to get close and hid on the side, watching and whispering.

For many people, it is difficult to have the opportunity to see imperial envoys or come into contact with imperial edicts throughout their lives. The concept has been deeply ingrained in their minds that the imperial edict represents the emperor, is supreme, represents nobility, and cannot be forged or counterfeited.

But in public, Chen Jin led his people to capture the imperial envoy, which was a rebellion.

This is not only a serious crime of decapitation, but also will punish the nine tribes.

Thinking of this, everyone felt trembling and frightened.

Qiu Bugui saw this and felt that in order to change public opinion, he had to make a fuss about the authenticity of the imperial edict.

Eunuch Gao was beaten until he vomited blood and quickly begged for mercy: "This is the order passed down by Eunuch Zhu..."

Qiu Bugui sneered: "Eunuch Zhu is not the emperor, so what qualifications do you have to write an imperial edict?"

Eunuch Gao: "..."

How could he clearly explain the secret?
In the current temple, the inner factory has already covered the sky with one hand. The new emperor ignores political affairs and has not even attended court.All matters, big and small, are basically handled through the internal factory.Su Xiaocheng, the Minister of Rites, had an accident and was arrested by the police. He was unwilling to give in and kept shouting that he wanted to see the Holy Emperor and see the imperial edict.As a result, the Black Spider Guard who led the team sneered: "If you want an imperial edict, I will ask Eunuch Zhu to write one for you."

In just half an hour, the imperial edict to arrest Su Xiaocheng and send him to prison was written and delivered to him.

At that moment, Su Xiaocheng was filled with despair and began to regret, remembering the words of his fourth son Su Xiaowen: He should not be greedy for official position and return to Beijing...

Having said that, the imperial edict currently written to Chen Jin was also written by Eunuch Zhu.As for whether he got the new emperor's consent, Eunuch Gao didn't know. He was just here to announce the decree.

Hearing the name Neichang, the crowd on the dock immediately burst into an uproar. They had all fled from the Central Plains. They hated Neichang and Eunuch Zhu who had done many evil things, and they hated him to the bone. They subconsciously believed that it was Eunuch Zhu who had brought trouble to the imperial court and caused chaos in the world. .

Of course, the imperial edicts written by Eunuch Zhu were countless, and they were false edicts.

As a result, the nature of Chen Jin's actions when he sent people to capture Eunuch Gao and others was completely different again.

"Take all these people back to the government office and interrogate them carefully."

Chen Jin strikes while the iron is hot. For him, no matter what, he will not bow to orders.

The so-called transfer, whether it is real or fake, if you really return to the capital, it will be equivalent to putting your life and future in the hands of the other party. How unwise?
Chen Jin was not even worried that the imperial court would send troops to attack. Rakshasa Sea Island had a special geographical location and was inherently dangerous, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. The island had been built again, and it was completely different from before. In addition, it had a certain scale. The soldiers in the military camp have considerable combat power.

Moreover, the chaos in the Central Plains is now out of control, and the court has too much time to take care of itself. How can it find the troops to fight against Rakshasa Haizhou?
