Chapter 527
"The Tianfeng Clan will stand guard and help the Donglin Party!"
After saying this, Shangguan Jingteng, who had no intention of playing chess anymore, left in a hurry.
After his figure disappeared, the Minister of Revenue Lu Tao came up to Lin Ruopu from the inner room.
"Sir, can the Tianfeng tribe be trusted?"
"Because of Shangguan Yan'er's marriage, the Tianfeng Clan has become estranged from the hard-line Tianshi."
"Also, the Tianfeng Clan has been losing imperial power over the past few years and is already being crushed by the Demon Sealing Clan."
"At this critical moment of life and death, he had no choice."
After muttering these words, Lin Ruopu looked at Lu Tao beside him and asked, "How are things going at your Ministry of Revenue?"
"Qinglong is like a dog-skin plaster, he keeps watching and investigating."
"Make a decision now! Don't leave yourself any hidden dangers in just a dozen days."
"clear."
"Is Suzhou City just ahead?"
On the official road, Xu Shan reined in his horse, gazing at the city ahead, and asked softly.
Wang Qinian, who was standing by, quickly replied, "Yes, sir!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the somewhat manic Zhang Liansong said indignantly: "We are imperial envoys after all. We have also informed the Suzhou government in advance of our arrival in Suzhou today."
"It's only a few miles from the city, and not a single official from Suzhou Prefecture came out to greet us."
"It's fine that you don't take me, the dignified Jinyiwei Pen King, seriously. But it's obvious that you don't take Lord Xu, whom I respect and adore, seriously either."
"Sir, if I were you..."
"This is absolutely intolerable!"
"With just one order from you, I, Zhang Liansong, will lead my troops to wipe out the entire Suzhou Prefecture."
'puff. '
Hearing Zhang Liansong's clumsy instigation, Wang Qinian and others couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xu Shan, with a smile on his face, said softly, "There are at least 5,000 soldiers stationed inside and outside Suzhou City."
"Goudan, how many can you kill?"
"Ah? At least five thousand? My Lord, I suddenly feel that a simple life is the real life."
"Haha."
Zhang Liansong, the youngest member of the team, has become everyone's treasure.
A sudden remark can always make everyone laugh.
"It's normal that he didn't come."
"Duke Qing, this is a show of force for us."
"At the same time, he was also declaring his attitude to the entire city of Suzhou - they were very unwelcome to us, the imperial envoys."
After saying this, Xu Shan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Wang Wushang took Hu Balai's head to claim the bounty. Did he pay it?"
"I gave it to you, not a cent less."
"But according to the original plan, this money will be used to buy food and provide free porridge to the people. This will also be used to spread the word that you led your troops into Suzhou to support them."
"But judging from the news that has come back, the grain merchants in Suzhou have acted as if they had agreed on something beforehand. Not only are they raising the price, they're also ignoring the Jinyiwei's inquiries about the price of their large-scale grain purchases!"
"So much so that the food purchased so far is very little."
Hearing this, Xu Shan smiled.
Shan Ge smiles, life and death are unpredictable!
"You were so indifferent to me back then, and I am so out of your reach now."
"Besides the Yongchang Trading Company, how many other companies are secretly supplying food and paying tribute to the Taihu pirates?"
"Yes! The evidence is solid."
After Wang Qinian finished speaking, Xu Shan turned to look at him and said, "He's just not solid. With Goudan standing alone against 5,000 soldiers, my Jinyiwei will definitely be punished today."
"Ah? Sir, stop it. I can't do anything with this pen!"
"Haha."
After laughing, Xu Shan raised his right hand holding the whip.
In an instant, the originally loose team was immediately organized into neat rows.
Zhang Liansong pulled out the Flying Fish Flag from the saddle and unfolded it immediately!
At this moment, even the breathing sounds of the war horses were in unison.
"The first battle after entering Suzhou City!"
"Show me all your aura."
"It's just five thousand officers and soldiers. As long as I, Xu Shan, am alive, it will definitely not be your turn!"
As soon as Xu Shan finished speaking, the accompanying Jinyiwei shouted in unison: "We will follow you till death!"
"Damn it, are you trying to show off your power to my Jinyiwei?"
"Yan Peng, I never indulge anyone!"
'drive!'
As Xu Shan lowered his right hand, driving the horses, the team of only a few hundred people galloped on the official road to Suzhou City.
