Xu Wei's arrival has cast a layer of tension over the whole city of Lu. Anyone with information knows that this guy is the master who came to see Xuan. If he gets caught with something, it won't be good.

In life, whether it is doing business in Lucheng or working as an official, I am afraid that not many people have clean butts.

Sima Rui led the civil and military officials from Lucheng out of the city to ceremoniously receive the imperial envoy from the imperial court. Seeing Xu Wei's livid face, everyone felt uneasy. Only Sima Rui was fine.

They were like children, chatting and laughing. As expected by She Wenzhuang, the eldest prince did not stand by and watch the fourth prince come to poach him. The number of imperial envoys increased from one to two. Huang Pu, the left minister of the Ministry of War, also stepped in. Xu Wei investigated the case.

In the name of Huang Pu, he wanted to rectify the military affairs in Lucheng and prevent such things from happening again. At the same time, he inspected the military chiefs in Lucheng.

"It's rare for two adults to come together to a remote place like Lucheng. It's hard work coming from afar. Sima Rui has prepared some wine in the house to welcome the two adults!" Sima Rui said with a smile on his face and cupped his hands to Xu Wei and Huang Pu.

, both of them are important figures in the court, third-rank officials. Compared with Sima Rui, a fourth-rank general, they are not just one rank higher in name.

Xu Wei waved his hand and interrupted Sima Rui, "There is no need to take the wind for the time being. I came to Lucheng with an order to thoroughly investigate the massacre of Yunjia Village. I believe that General Sima has already prepared the case files in this regard.

, I need to read the case file first."

Sima Rui was stunned. He didn't expect that in front of so many people, Xu Wei didn't give any face at all and called him back on the spot. For a moment, his face couldn't help but look ugly.

Huang Pu on the side smiled and said to Xu Wei: "Mr. Xu, why is this necessary? It is a full three thousand miles from the capital to here. Not to mention that Master Xu is a civil servant, but I, an old soldier, have traveled all the way.

But I almost broke my body and bones. Although the investigation of the case is a metaphor, there is no rush at this moment, and this is not something that can be completed in three or two days. You have to settle down and take your time. It is rare.

General Sima has made arrangements. We guests should just do as we please, ah, hahaha, let’s go eat first, relax, and exchange our views on this matter during the dinner. How about it, Mr. Xu?"

Xu Wei breathed a sigh of relief. He could be polite to Sima Rui, but Huang Pu was of the same rank as him and they were officials in the same dynasty. They still had to give him some face. What's more, they were both imperial envoys. If he

Falling in love with him will inevitably let everyone see the contradiction between the imperial envoys, which is not beautiful.

"Since Mr. Huang said so, let's go eat first and then start after eating!"

Seeing Xu Wei relent, Sima Rui couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the great prince is wise. If Xu Wei really came alone, he might be in trouble!

"Two adults, let me introduce you. This is Wang Min, the deputy general of Lucheng. This is the general of each battalion in Lucheng." Sima Rui waved his hand, and Wang Min, Yao Meng and others who were standing behind him took a step forward.

He gave a military salute to Xu Wei and Huang Pu, "General, I will see you two adults at the end."

"No, no, all the generals guarding the border towns are the backbone of our country. The frontier is bitterly cold and not as prosperous as the inland. You all have to suffer!" Huang Pu said with a smile. These people are all soldiers. In name, he is one of them.

They are their superiors, and they happen to be in charge of them. Moreover, after Sima Rui took office, he signed the certificates of appointment for Yao Meng and several other battalion generals. Seriously speaking, that can greatly bring the relationship closer.

"General Sima has a keen eye for recognizing people. When I was issuing your certificates of appointment, I was still wondering whether these people were qualified for the job. Today, when I see your handsome appearance, I can't help but feel relieved. You are really strong men!" Huang

Park laughed.

Xu Wei snorted, "A true warrior will ensure that the people on the border can live and work in peace and contentment without being disturbed. But now they are being brutalized and killed. You must work harder and don't let Mr. Huang's hard work go to waste.

If such a situation occurs, I’m afraid everyone’s lives will be in danger.”

The faces of Yao Meng and others changed greatly, and they bowed and did not dare to answer. Sima Rui also looked ugly, and Huang Pu's smile was also condensed on his face. This was a slap in the face in public. This Xu Langtou really didn't give him any face.

.

"General Wang!" Xu Wei looked at Wang Min.

"The end is here!"

"When I passed through Qinghe County, I also visited the old general Feng Congyi." Xu Wei looked at him, "The old general is looking forward to you and said many good things about you."

Wang Min felt ashamed, "The last general failed to live up to the expectations of the old general."

Xu Wei snorted, but there was no follow-up. Huang Pu said on the side: "Master Xu and I visited General Feng, mainly to get some understanding of the surrounding conditions of Lucheng. Now it seems that the changes have been quite big!"

Sima Rui smiled slightly, knowing that this was Huang Pu trying to save him, and immediately took over the conversation, "The imperial court was wise and set up a market in Lucheng. Compared to this time last year, Lucheng has changed a lot in the sky and on the earth.

Come on, two adults, while we are walking, Sima will introduce it to you two, and also invite you to take a look at the new scene in Lucheng now! Two adults, please!"

In the general's mansion, the banquet was extremely sumptuous. In the northern border town, the eating habits were very different from those in Shangjing, but Sima Rui specially invited Shangjing-style chefs from Tanzhou. The table full of dishes was all Shangjing-style. This was true.

To Xu Wei and Huang Pu's surprise, the further north they went, the two of them who rarely left the capital had hardly had a good meal.

Eating familiar food and looking at Wang Min who was a little downcast below, Xu Wei sighed in his heart and went to visit Feng Congyi. He originally hoped to get some support from him. After all, Feng Congyi had been in power in Lucheng for decades and had subordinates all over the country.

All over Lucheng, but now it seems that the situation is very bad. It seems that the entire Lucheng, except for Wang Min, who was obviously excluded, the rest of the people have been closely united around Sima Rui. This is his mission

brought great difficulties.

I don’t know what kind of support Wang Min alone can give me? But no matter what, I have to talk to him, even if I can get a little bit of information from him, no matter what, Wang Min is also in Lu

After staying in the city for so long, there are still some channels for information. It is better than when he first arrived and his eyes were completely blank. He only needed to open a crack. Xu Wei believed that with his own ability and experience in handling cases, he could tear the hole wider.

This exposes all the things that are hidden behind this curtain to the broad daylight.

The Yunjiacun case is just an excuse, and using it to find out what the prince might be doing here is the top priority.

Thinking of this, Xu Wei couldn't help but feel a little heavy. Things were far from being as easy as he imagined. Lu Cheng, now it seems, has become a one-word palace.

The table was full of chatting and laughing, and people were drinking and drinking, but everyone had their own thoughts and plans. Xu Wei came to flip the table, and Huang Pu simply came to mess with Xu Wei's situation. Both of them understood in their hearts, but their faces remained still.

We are a harmonious group, you toast me a toast, I toast you a toast, looking like best friends.

At the climax, an officer hurriedly entered the banquet hall, leaned over and whispered a few words into Sima Rui's ear, causing Sima Rui's expression to change slightly.

"Is there any major military matter?" Huang Pu asked upon seeing this.

Sima Rui smiled slightly, "No problem, I just got the news that the horse bandits from Yingzui Rock suddenly went out in large numbers, with unknown targets!"

"But towards Lucheng?" Huang Pu asked.

"We can't tell yet, Mr. Huang, these horse bandits come and go like the wind, and their whereabouts are difficult to determine, Yao Meng!"

"The end is here!"

"You lead the first battalion and go out to Lucheng to guard and prevent these horse bandits from coming to Lucheng to harass you."

"Yes, General!"

Yao Meng bowed and turned around to leave.

"Come on, come on, my lords, let's continue. Don't worry about the mere horse bandits. If you dare to attack our city of Lucheng, it will be a good opportunity for you two to see the power of my army in Lucheng!" Sima Rui said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
