Chapter 517: The Biggest Official(1/2)

At night, the yamen rested, but there were also assistants on duty.

As soon as he saw the officer on duty, his personal soldiers said in the head: "Liu Zhanggu, have you captured the subordinates of the governor?"

Liu Zhangu was stunned and replied: "I have arrested ten foreign men. I wonder if it is related to the governor."

"This is the governor of Shengzhou. The prince said that he would release the people." said the personal soldier.

Liu Zhangu looked at Wei Fufeng and said, "Someone received a reward and reported it. Ten foreign men said they were from Changzhou."

Wei Fufeng smiled and said, "Liu Zhanggu, didn't you hear it? The prince said that he would release the people. You dare to disobey the military order of the prince."

Liu Zhangu's face changed and he said hurriedly: "I dare not be humble, so I will execute military orders."

Wei Fufeng said with a cold face: "Don't think that I am a governor is a false official. I am still drinking and getting close to the prince."

Liu Zhanggu smiled and said with a pity: "I am humble and have no eyes, so I will be kind to you."

Wei Fufeng nodded and whispered: "Let me go, if you have any questions, I will ask the Prince of the County tomorrow."

Liu Zhangu nodded, turned around and left, and soon brought back ten men, and each of them had signs of whipping. Some of them looked in shock when they saw Wei Fufeng.

"Thanks to the official who has come, I will be delayed until tomorrow. I will be disabled. Let's go." Wei Fufeng said coldly and turned around and left.

After walking out of the yamen, Wei Fufeng stopped and smiled: "This time, my army has recorded the favor, and I will invite you to serve as a military envoy in the future."

The personal soldiers were stunned, listening inexplicably, looking at Wei Fufeng and want to speak but stop.

Wei Fufeng smiled and said, "The prince said that Du Hong has left, and I will also serve as the deputy envoy of the Eastern Wu Army."

"I am so proud of you." The personal soldiers bowed and congratulated.

Wei Fufeng reached out and pulled his personal soldiers and walked ten meters away, saying, "The prince was willing to join the Qian family in Hangzhou, and appointed me as the deputy envoy of the Jiedushi, and wanted to go to Hangzhou to negotiate."

The personal soldiers nodded suddenly.

Wei Fufeng said again: "I will come tomorrow morning to implement the position of deputy governor of the county prince."

Wei Fufeng returned to the restaurant with ten Changzhou soldiers. He could not live without Jiangning City at night, so he could only continue to deal with the moves.

The next day, Wei Fufeng took ten guards to the prefecture yamen again. The guards reported that they would return and told the prince that he was in poor health and would meet him later in the afternoon.

Wei Fufeng was moved when he heard this. Fu Niang gave him time to escape. Will he leave?

Wei Fufeng decided not to leave. Without Feng Hongju's order to release the marching, the Jiangning Army would not let him go. After the night, he was suspected of killing Feng Hongju.

Wei Fufeng returned to the restaurant. At noon, the personal soldiers he knew suddenly came and told him anxiously: "Sir, the prince is dead."

"What?" Wei Fufeng was deliberately surprised.

The personal soldier said, "I slept until I was asleep. The concubine who served me found it almost noon and was so scared that she cried. The prince had been in a cold state recently and got drunk last night."

Wei Fufeng was surprised. Feng Hongli's body was injured and no one checked it? Or did Fu Niang hide it?

"Sir, I'm really willing to give up the humble ones?" the personal soldier asked bluntly.

"Of course it's true." Wei Fufeng answered without hesitation, and was still guessing. Perhaps Feng Hongru's personal guards were unwilling to die in assassination.

"Okay, I am willing to prove to you that the prince serves as the deputy envoy of the adults and is qualified to participate in the funeral of the prince after his death." said the personal soldier.

Wei Fufeng nodded and sighed. The personal soldiers either concealed the cause of Feng Hongju's death or deliberately did not check it, and only admitted that he died of illness.

"Sir, follow me." The personal soldiers urged urgently.

Wei Fufeng called out ten guards to follow him, asked on the way, and learned

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The personal soldier's name Ding Sheng.

Wei Fufeng learned about Feng Hongduo's relationship all the way. Feng Hongduo's first wife is still there, but his legitimate son died, and his concubine gave birth to eight sons, the oldest was thirteen years old.

Arriving at the prefecture yamen, the guards were twice as many as they were, and they were so fierce that they were murderous.

Ding Sheng took the lead and shouted: "The deputy commander of the Jiedushi has arrived."

The guards at the yamen were stunned and at a loss, mainly because Feng Hongduo's personal guard still had the power. In fact, except for the generals, few people knew that the prince was dead.

The general hesitated and waved his hand to let him in. He was just transferred by the commander. The commander could not cover the sky with one hand. To put it bluntly, the commander could not inherit the Jiangning Army.

Wei Fufeng followed Ding Sheng into the prefecture yamen and met Feng Hongduo's family, chief historian, left and right commander, secretary, Yuhou of the Central Army, and judge.

The crowd waited, looking at Wei Fufeng's eyes, some were cold, some were disdainful, and some were indifferent.

Wei Fufeng faced it calmly and first bowed to Feng Hongduo's wife, an old woman said, "Chu Yu, the deputy envoy of the subordinate Jiedu, pay homage to the princess of the county."

Feng Hongduo's first wife looked indifferent and asked, "Are you the deputy envoy of the Jiedu?"

Wei Fufeng nodded and said, "The prince planned to use me to serve in Hangzhou. Yesterday, the prince said worriedly that Xuanzhou was not good, and planned to join the Qian family in Hangzhou and go back to Taihu Lake in Suzhou."

Feng Hongduo's first wife nodded in a move. She is from Suzhou.

Ding Sheng bowed: "The prince said last night that Lord Chu also served as the deputy envoy of the Jiedushi."

The whole hall was silent, no one questioned and refuted.

Wei Fufeng turned around and said, "Everyone, I have no power or soldiers in Jiangning. The prince is willing to use me as an envoy to serve as the deputy envoy of the Jiedushi. I know that I am not qualified to obtain the authority of the Jiangning Army."

"Mr. Chu is also considered to be self-aware." The judge sarcastically said, with a fat face and a rich man, and his words were unpleasant.

Wei Fufeng ignored it and said, "Everyone present is not qualified to inherit the Jiangning Army. There is no need to intrigue. He should wait for Yan Jian and Feng Hui to return to decide."

Everyone was silent, and Feng Hongduo's first wife asked, "Can't my son inherit the prince?"

Wei Fufeng replied: "The prince's son was young and could not convince the army. The princess made the wisest choice to sort out his family and leave Jiangning, go to Yangzhou or Hangzhou to settle down, and be a wealthy family who stays out of the matter."

Feng Hongduo's first wife was silent, and everyone was waiting silently.

After a moment, Feng Hongduo's first wife said, "We will wait for Yan Jian and Feng Hui to come back."

Wei Fufeng asked, "What if they are not good at getting a military command?"

"What do you mean?" Feng Hongduo's first wife asked sternly.

Wei Fufeng calmly replied: "The prince is worried that it may be unfavorable for his leadership. I would like to make a suggestion. You don't want to lose your current status and interests. If it is unfavorable for his leadership, I am a middle-aged man, and Jiangning belongs to the King of Wu. I guarantee that your official positions will remain unchanged."

"You are a thief of the Huainan Army." The right commander angrily shouted.

Wei Fufeng responded calmly: "Nominally, you are all subordinates of the Huainan Army. If Yan Jian and Feng Hui return, you will assume that our army has not said that if the army is not good, how capable are you to resist the Huainan Army."

The right commander wanted to speak but stopped.

Wei Fufeng said again: "Let's wait for news. Some soldiers and horse envoys stationed outside may want to take over Jiangning. I am only responsible for the funeral of the prince and repay the favor of knowing him."

Everyone communicated with each other, accepted Wei Fufeng's statement, and began to organize the funeral.

Wei Fufeng has the largest official position, and the family members of Feng Hongduo can only respect it intentionally or unintentionally.

Wei Fufeng knew very well that no one was willing to cut off the retreat. Once Yan Jian and Feng Hui could not come back, Jiang Ning had to surrender to the Huainan Army.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

There may be greedy and ambitious people in the garrison outside the city, but Yan Jian and Feng Hui's prestige suppressed the Jiangning Army. Before they got the information on the expedition, there would not be many followers, and the consequences of the rebellion were liquidated.

The military power of the prefecture yamen was roughly divided into sixteen personal guards, the central army, the Yuhou commanded 300 inner guards, and the left and right commanders were each in charge of 5,000 defenders.

However, the left and right commanders do not have complete military power, and the judge is in charge of the military power of the city gate.

Seven of the sixteen personal guards clearly surrendered to Wei Fufeng, four of them guarded the study last night, and nine of them were willing to obey Feng Hongduo's wife.

Excluding Wei Fufeng and Feng Hongduo's first wife, Jiangning's supervisors had a discussion, reached a marching marches, Sima Feng Hui returned, took over as the governor of the Eastern Wu, and informed the foreign army to stabilize the hearts of the people.

Wei Fufeng survived the crisis of mistakes and sighed secretly that he could not obtain Jiangning's military strength. Originally, Feng Hongduo was not dead, and the Jiangning army could fight against the Huainan army.

Feng Hongduo was defeated and could still take his remaining troops to sea and flee to Changzhou or Suzhou to join the affiliation.

Once Feng Hongduo died, Jiangning's military might be swallowed up by the Huainan army, which was very unfavorable to Changzhou's resistance and even affected Hangzhou's strategy.

Wei Fufeng had no choice. He could do nothing now and had to act harmlessly.

Ding Sheng became Wei Fufeng's eyes and ears, and inquire about the internal and external situation of Jiangning.

Feng Hongduo's death did not cause chaos in Jiangning. It was mainly because the judge and the left and right commanders reached an agreement to strictly control 10,000 defenders in Jiangning City.

Wei Fufeng also learned a message of being blocked. Fu Niang was given to the Marquis of the Central Army by Feng Hongduo's first wife. He was secretly annoyed by it and developed a murderous intention.

After staying in the prefecture office for three days, Ding Sheng came to report that all the troops stationed in Shangyuan Prefecture had set off and left for Changzhou.

Wei Fufeng's heart tightened and knew that the critical moment was coming. He ordered Ding Sheng to bring fifty guards to the restaurant.

The guard arrived and was blocked outside the door.

Song Bi, the Central Army Hou, came to see Wei Fufeng and said coldly: "Please be at peace, sir."

Wei Fufeng said calmly: "I heard that the troops in Shangyuan Prefecture have set off to Changzhou."

"I heard that, what do you mean by sir?" Song Bi said coldly.

Wei Fufeng said: "Our army knew that Gao Yan, the governor of Changzhou, was attacking Xuanzhou along the Xu River. The troops of Shangyuan Prefecture suddenly set sail to Changzhou. Gao Yan retreated and protected himself."

Song Bi's face changed slightly and she said, "Did she be defeated when she sent troops to Xuanzhou?"

Wei Fufeng nodded and said, "Just speculation, do you want to serve as a marching Sima?"

Song Bi said coldly: "My lord should be at peace, otherwise his life will be difficult to protect."
