Chapter 55 Stability
"Junior sister, I'm going to ask you to go there in person." After taking Zhang Er, Jiang Cheng ignored the officials of Wangjiang City. The big fish were taken down, and these mixed fish could not leave even if they wanted to.
"I'm escorting?" Yue Shan looked at Jiang Chengdao.
"Well, Zhang Er, there are these thieves, these meat pies, and this image of jade crystal!" Jiang Cheng handed a jade crystal to Yue Shan and said, "After all, I am a rank-up official. I'm afraid something will happen on the road. With you here, I'll feel more at ease. When I go back to the capital, I'll find Wen Lingzhao first and ask him for help."
Who is the person behind this Chapter 2? The king can reach the place, and there are only a few who control a rank-in official. There is no need to guess. The escort mission this time is not simple. Jiang Cheng cannot go there himself, so he can only launch a raid. With Wen Lingzhao's help, the success rate is quite high.
Of course, if you contact Liu Song, it will be easier to settle this matter, but this matter is not important to the overall situation. Zhao Yin is not his father, so he goes to find others for everything.
Jiang Cheng still recognized Wen Lingzhao's ability. He has been in the capital for more than 50 years and has been in the capital for a longer period of time. He can understand many things better than anyone else. He can only be considered half of his own person. In the capital, he only talks about interests. Before the power is stable, his friends may become enemies at any time. Jiang Cheng is very clear about this. However, at this stage, before Wen Lingzhao established his own circle of friends, the two of them were grouping together to keep warm in the upper level of the capital. It is a honeymoon period. As for what they will in the future, it depends on their respective abilities.
The interests are very fragile but also very strong. Friendship, love, and family affection may all betrayal, but the common interests are more solid. Now that the interests of both parties are consistent, Jiang Cheng is most at ease now, probably Wen Lingzhao. The most important thing is that the other party’s experience and ability in dealing with things is much better than these fledgling young whites. In addition to academics, in many places, Jiang Cheng is also ashamed of himself.
"Senior brother, don't worry." Yue Shan nodded, Jiang Cheng's words, "I'll rest assured" that made her feel very warm.
"Be careful on the road." Jiang Cheng took the city lord's seal from Zhang Er and turned to Bai Zhirou.
But Bai Zhirou had a black official uniform on her body, which was manifested by luck. The city lord's seal automatically fell on her waist, and a faint majesty aura was emitting. This was the city lord's privilege. Ordinary officials, even those who were in the third rank, could only get blessings and protections for luck, but could not call luck.
"As for you!" Jiang Cheng looked at the officials of Wangjiang City and said calmly: "I will not pursue the past. I will do whatever I should do. I just changed the city lord and assist the new city lord with peace of mind. If I don't want to, I can resign. I will find someone else to replace me. If I continue to make trouble for me behind my back..."
Jiang Cheng glanced at the officials of Wangjiang City who had regained their energy and sneered: "Zhang Er is a fourth-rank official. I have no right to deal with it, but I have the right to take action first and then report it. I hope you don't make any mistakes!"
"Don't worry, sir, we understand." Several officials bowed quickly as if they were granted a general amnesty.
Jiang Cheng's powerful move to capture the king first is here. If Jiang Cheng came over here, he would not catch the thief first and then put pressure on him. There was no sufficient reason to not move Zhang Er. Zhang Er could gather his friends together to secretly trip Jiang Cheng, but Jiang Cheng first took the evidence of his crime and then directly took away Zhang Er's biggest local snake.
The so-called "tree" falls and money scatters, and the wall falls and everyone pushes them. If these people lose their backbone, they will openly stumbling over Jiang Cheng, which is asking for death, because Jiang Cheng holds the right that can directly punish them.
"Who is responsible for the city guard?" Jiang Cheng sat down and looked at everyone and said.
"Sir, the last general is responsible." A man in armor took the lead.
"From today on, the city guards will be directly organized under my command and will be dispatched by me. This is an edict. I will take charge of the military and political affairs of Wangjiang City for a period of time in the future!" Jiang Cheng handed the edict to the other party.
"The last general will receive the order!" After confirming that the edict was correct, the general hurriedly bowed to Jiang Cheng.
"Get together the city guards and post a notice of recruitment in the city! I came here on the order of the emperor and recruited 20,000 soldiers, and the city lord's mansion cooperated." Jiang Cheng took back the edict and said calmly.
"Abide by the order!"
With the strength crushing, the king's life is in his hands, and the leader is gone, it will be much easier to control this city.
These people must have their own little thoughts, but under Jiang Cheng's intimidation, they did not have the courage to take the lead. The main reason is that no one dared to take the lead. No one was a fool, and no one was willing to be the first to be the first. What's more, Zhang Er was cold, and they had no reason to come and twist with Jiang Cheng for a boss who had already lost his temper. Such a person could not survive in this cruel officialdom.
The next thing is much simpler. As a gateway, Wangjiang City has 10,000 city guards, which is equivalent to the first battalion. However, because there is already a fourth-rank official, the city lord, the general is a fifth-rank general.
Jiang Cheng disrupted the 10,000 people in a mess. He did not let General Lang lead him, but gave him to Zhao Zihao for retraining, reorganization, and selecting grassroots generals.
These city guards have a foundation, so Jiang Cheng directly entered the Xiaorui Camp under his command. As for the city guards, they can recruit them again.
Of course, the highest officer was still the Lang General. Jiang Cheng had no right to appoint him. Zhao Zihao was only responsible for training troops now, but Jiang Cheng directly asked the Lang General to stay at home, which was a disguised person.
The Lang General did not dare to complain at all.
In this way, the military power was in control, and Bai Zhirou also successfully controlled the financial power and personnel appointment and removal in her hands, and the core power of the entire Wangjiang City was completely taken down by Jiang Cheng.
Yue Shan returned to Wangjiang City after a month. As Jiang Cheng expected, this matter was not easy. Yue Shan was blocked. However, Wen Lingzhao was prepared for this move in advance and only let Yue Shan take a few not-so-important minions away openly. Zhang Er and the main culprit of the water thief were secretly picked up by Wen Lingzhao in advance and sent into the city under other names, which was considered as a surprise.
Over the past month, Shen Qingshu and Huo Wei greeted the gangs entrenched in Wangjiang City one by one. Jiang Cheng did not mean to kill them all. This gray force is endless, and it is not a disaster. Jiang Cheng only had one request. During his time in Wangjiang City, these gangs need to help him with all their strength, otherwise, they will be ready to be expelled from the gangs.
Of course, people in the martial arts world are unruly and being a hawk in the court is a shameful thing, so not everyone is willing to lower their high heads under the threat of their lives.
Jiang Cheng didn't force himself. The three gangs were strangled by officers and soldiers overnight. After they were completely removed from the list, their high heads lowered.
There is actually no difference between the world and the officialdom. There are some people who are righteous in the world. Jiang Cheng admires their spirit very much, but the ending will not change because of admiration. His situation cannot be given up just because of admiration.
In a month, under the strong crushing of Jiang Cheng, the forces of all parties in Wangjiang City merged into one. The city guards and Jiang Cheng's 20,000 troops were also gathered together, but the combat power still needs to be tempered.
At the end of the month, Li Mu brought a group of people to support him, which also made up for the shortcomings of Jiang Cheng's middle-level generals.
"Amu, long time no see, but still remember me?" Bai Zhirou naturally recognized Amu. She was still very envious of Jiang Cheng's ability to make smart puppets. However, she was a little disappointed when she didn't see Ameng: "Where is Ameng?"
"Ameng is responsible for helping people monitor the movements under the sea and explore the remains, but they cannot come." Amu shook his head and said, "Hello Sister Bai."
"I'll call you a mistress in the future." Jiang Cheng patted Amu's head and said with a smile.
"Miss Mother." Amu bowed obediently again, making Bai Zhirou blush.
"Amu seems to be a little more spiritual than in the past?" Bai Zhirou glared at Jiang Cheng, and her current majestic official uniform also had a unique charm.
"I have transformed it a few times, but it's a pity that there are not enough materials." Jiang Cheng nodded. His smart puppet is now mature. What we need to consider now is to give them the ability to evolve by themselves. Unfortunately, there is not enough materials, and these things can only be thought about.
“Very precious?”
"Xiran, Yuntien." Jiang Cheng briefly mentioned two materials. Bai Zhiruo shut up tactfully. These two materials, placed in the palace, are treasures, and belong to the kind of extremely plastic things.
"How is the city construction?" Jiang Cheng smiled and changed the subject.
"According to that guy Mo Zi, the land part can be built in another three years, but the water palace may take more time. Sister Guan Rui said that it will be more difficult to get the seabed. Many of the dolls made by Lu Ban were soaked at the seabed. He is now using some materials from the seabed to make new dolls, so it will be slower than Mo Zi." Amu said.
"Guan Rui..." Bai Zhirou suddenly turned her head and looked at Jiang Cheng: "Is it the senior Nascent Soul you mentioned?"
"Scallops are in enlightenment." Jiang Cheng nodded, and saw Bai Zhirou's expression of suspicion, and said with some amusement: "Don't worry, I have no interest in physical communication across races."
Bai Zhirou spat lightly when she heard this.
"Master, what is physical communication across races?" Amu looked at Jiang Cheng in confusion.
"Don't ask so much, kid." Jiang Cheng slapped it on the head and said, "It's just right, I'll replace you with my body during this period."
"Can you become a strong man like Lu Ban and Mo Zi?" Amu's eyes lit up when he heard this. Lu Ban and Mo Zi had the cultivation level of the Golden Pill realm as soon as they were born, which made Amu envious for a long time.
"Yes, yes, but if this is true, you will be stereotyped in the future." Jiang Cheng nodded. He still had five golden elixirs on his hand. If it goes well, it should be able to completely transform Amu.
"What's wrong with Amu's appearance?" Amu said in confusion.
"Nothing, let's start tomorrow."
