Chapter 9 Xu Shichang, Governor of the Three East Provinces ()

It was mid-June 1907 in a blink of an eye.

"Han Ying, Ye Chong, I'm leaving." After living here for nearly a year, seeing Niu Jiaao grow to its current scale, he suddenly left Xu Nan and couldn't help feeling sad. "I guess if I don't go back, my family will come here."

"Miss Xu, you have been cheating me for nearly a year and you should be content with me." Ye Chong smiled.

"Where is that Sister Nan is not such a person." Han Ying hammered Ye Chong for a while.

Xu Nan gave Ye Chong a blank look: "It's definitely not good to spit it out of your mouth."

"When will you leave? Xiaoying and I will give you a look."

"It's noon today." Xu Nan suddenly remembered something again: "By the way, Ye Chong, the government is about to recruit peace. The new governor of the three eastern provinces will not allow the existence of you and Du Lishan in Liaozhong, which is so close to Fengtian."

"Governor of the Three East Provinces?" Ye Chong's eyes hopped. The three East Provinces do not have such a title now. Could it be the latest establishment of the Qing court? Xu Nan's tone was so firm that Ye Chong became more and more curious about Xu Nan's identity.

"I want to change the party and have an official position. Why don't Xu Nan, please introduce me to a high-ranking official?" Ye Chong smiled.

Xu Nan's eyes lit up: "Okay, but you want to send me back to Fengtian in person."

"Yes, but you have to talk about who you are first. If your father is a guardian, why wouldn't I be taken to chop off immediately when I arrived in Fengtian?" Ye Chong joked.

"Your father is the one who is watching the door." Xu Nan glared at Ye Chong.

"My father used to be a farmer in Liujia Village and didn't look at the gate."

"Okay, then I'll say that the new governor of the three eastern provinces, Governor Xu, is my uncle." Xu Nan said slowly.

"What!" Ye Chong said dumbfounded.

Han Ying had never been to Liaozhong County before, and had no idea about the title of governor. He looked at Ye Chong with curiosity and said, "Is the governor of the three eastern provinces very big?"

"Silly girl, there is no bigger official in the entire Northeast." Ye Chong sighed, and then hurriedly said: "Hurry, close the door quickly and don't let Xu Nan run away."

"Haha, Sister Nan won't run away." Han Ying said funny and funny when she saw Ye Chong.

Xu Nan had always been calm when he saw Ye Chong. At this time, he looked surprised and looked at him a few more times.

"Han Ying will go to Fengtian with me to play for a few days." Xu Nan took the initiative to invite.

"Xiaoying won't go for the time being. Let's talk about it when I decide what I have in Fengtian." Ye Chong smiled.

"You don't feel at ease with me?" Xu Nan's face changed.

"I have gone to Fengtian with you, so no one can trust you. I just went to Fengtian and everything was not settled. I was afraid that Xiaoying would suffer if she went there." Ye Chong explained. Han Ying wanted to say that she was not afraid of suffering, but she obeyed Ye Chong instinctively and did not want to oppose Ye Chong's decision, so she didn't say anything.

Xu Nan said a little enviously: "You are so nice to Han Ying."

"Then it's settled. I'll go to Fengtian with you. You can clean up first and bring some souvenirs back. Although it's not worth it, it's also a memory. I have to arrange things after leaving, so as not to get messed up when I'm away."

"Although you have never read a book, you can speak one by one." Xu Nan smiled and said, "Then I'll prepare the souvenirs. Han Ying, please help me."

He called Master Wenshan again, and eight others came with him, including Zhao Erhu, He Rui, Wang Houchun, etc. Sun Yong and Tang Zhi were responsible for traveling outside and could not come back for a while.

"It is not a long way for us to be bandits like this. I plan to go to Fengtian to explore the road. If we have the chance, we will accept the amnesty from the court." Ye Chong said roughly.

"Brother Ye Chong, are you going to Fengtian? This is too risky." Wang Houchun and others took the lead.

"Yes, the government's credit is not very good. There are many things to turn around in the curtain of reunion. If there is no boss, no one can suppress these bandits from Niujiaao." Wenshan said with a worried look. Niujiaao expanded too quickly and its rise was incredible. However, the time for the people below to combine was still short and people were uneven. At present, there is an iron-fisted figure like Ye Chong who was so desperate that he could be suppressed by Ye Chong's prestige and could not cause trouble. But if Ye Chong had a three-length and two-length shortness, this great situation would fall apart in the blink of an eye. Although Wang Houchun and He Rui were also good at abilities, they were far from enough to replace Ye Chong's status.

Wenshan also knew that once Ye Chong decided, others would not persuade him, so he thought of a compromise method and said, "How about sending a few people first, it would not be too late if he was the leader."

"No need. I can trust Xu Nan." Ye Chong pressed his hand and signaled to know what Wenshan meant: "I know what the master wants to say. Those who accomplish great things cannot put their hopes on a woman, and Xu Nan has no right to speak in this matter. But I will not be in danger when I go to Fengtian. If the new governor of the three eastern provinces kills me, the bandits in the Liaozhong area will only become a mess. With my help to calm the bandits in Liaozhong, it will be twice the result with half the effort. No matter who is the governor, it will be a great achievement to report to the court. Even if he is a fool, he will know how to choose."

Ye Chong had made up his mind, and Wenshan and others could no longer persuade him, so he could only sigh.

On that day, Ye Chong led more than a hundred people to escort Xu Nan to Fengtian all the way. It was already evening.

"Okay, you'll send it here and turn around!" Fengtian City Gate was already looking at it, and Ye Chong tied the reins to Xu Heiya and Zhao Dongliang who were sending it all the way.

"Big boss, let's go to the city with you." Xu Heiya, Zhao Dongliang and others all said.

"Okay, Zhao Dongliang, you can pick ten people into the city with me, Black Crow, you can bring people back." Ye Chong refused and decided to say.

"It's not that you're apart from life and death, you can't believe me after all." Xu Nan looked at Ye Chong with a little disgusted feeling and said in a suffocation: "With me here, who dares to do anything to you in Fengtian City?"

"But you can come with you?" Ye Chongqing said with a smile: "Okay, come to the city. You have been with me for nearly a year, and my family probably miss you so much."

"Uncle! Father, Mother." Xu Nan saw the people waiting at the city gate, stuck out his tongue, and quickly got off the horse and came up.

"You wild girl, you shouldn't have sent you to study abroad. You've been wild for almost a year, but you didn't even go home." A middle-aged man in his forties looked angry and scolded Xu Nan.

"Okay, Nan'er is fine at last. Keep these words back before talking about them." The majestic old man wearing three-eyed peach feathers and wearing a Qilin official uniform said.

"Stop, the governor is on patrol, and the idle people are not allowed to approach." A middle-aged officer holding a knife at his waist stopped in front of Ye Chong.

"Maoxuan, let him come over." Xu Shichang said.

"Yes, sir."

"Ye Chong, the grass man, please see the Governor." Ye Chong knelt down on one knee in front of Xu Shichang, and said with a respectful attitude.

Ye Chong was originally handsome and had an extraordinary appearance. When he first saw a high-ranking official like Xu Shichang, his behavior and conversation were calm, which made Xu Shichang look at him.

"It's not bad. Maoxuan took Ye Chong and his people to the inn to settle down and bring them here to see me tomorrow morning." After Xu Shichang ordered, he took Xu Nan and others away.

"You are Ye Chong, who is known as the Panshan Tiger in Liaozhong?" Wang Huaiqing also looked at Ye Chong a few more times at this time, only to feel that he was too young. Such a young man was actually one of the two major bandit leaders in Liaozhong.

"The name of a bandit is not worth mentioning!" Ye Chong said modestly: "But just a bandit who can't get on the table is not as good as a general. It is deeply trusted by Governor Xu, and it is a matter of success in the blink of an eye."

Ye Chong's words made Wang Huaiqing feel relieved, "That's right, I'm not a general of the Governor's camp, and will soon be the commander of the Feng army's middle lane."

"Congratulations to the great success of your career and your wealth." Ye Chong wanted to put some words out of the person in front of him, so he naturally chose good words.

"You are not bad, I know Governor Xu is a human being. I just saw the Governor's look and admire you very much. It's a young talent." Wang Huaiqing slapped Ye Chong's shoulder and said, "In the future, when encountering difficulties in Fengtian, I will report my name to Wang Huaiqing. People on the ground in Fengtian will still give me some thin face."

"Then I thank Gu Fu for Lord Wang first." Ye Chong said in surprise, but he was very amused. The person in front of him was actually the toilet general who had a unique hobby in history. According to legend, he had a toilet with a big word "king" written on it with red and gold stamping on it. I don't know if the rumors are true.

Although Wang Huaiqing was not good at military and political talents and was greedy as an official, his ability to observe his face was good. Otherwise, Xu Shichang would not have been the number one confidant. When he saw Xu Shichang's admiration, he would have sold it to Ye Chong in advance.

"...I don't know why, but I feel disgusted when I hear Lord Wang's words." Zhao Dongliang never saw Ye Chong whispering to others. He saw that he left for a long time before he vented: "Master, I think it's better to go back to Niujiaao to be a bandit and be free and easy."

"What are you talking about?" Ye Chong whispered: "When people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads. This Governor Xu is a new official who takes office for three fires. The first fire will be burned in our Liaozhong. The bandits of all sizes will be suppressed by them sooner or later."

"The officials are all such people, so I don't believe that he can do anything to the boss." Yan Qing, who followed him, was only two years older than Ye Chong, and he said a little unbelievable.

"There are also capable people in the official army, so don't underestimate the official army. It's always a good thing to do on multiple roads. Don't say such things casually in the future. After a day's journey, you can rest early." Ye Chong said, holding the table, and the words he brought out from Wang Huaiqing's mouth made Ye Chong feel relieved for the time being.
