The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 245 Contempt (Subscribe~)

Chen Ping'an sat in the chair, recalling the contents of the letter.

He had briefly analyzed the contents of the letter and found it to be highly credible.

He could never forget what Zhao Lianzhi from the Weishui Pacification Office told him when he asked him to rush to the trade route station.

"The official said that the Long'an Trade Route is about to be put into operation, and many forces outside the trade route are causing trouble. Official affairs and miscellaneous matters are pouring in like a tide, and it is difficult for him to sort them out alone. I hope that the deputy inspector dispatched by the Pacification Department can arrive as soon as possible!"

Official affairs and trivial matters are coming in like a tide?
There are so many things to sort out?
Chen Ping'an couldn't help but feel a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Neglecting official duties? Indulging in pleasure?

Is this how Guan Yuping sorts out his official duties?
interesting!
It’s really interesting!

Chen Ping'an touched his arms, where a bracelet woven from colorful silk threads lay quietly.

"Nanny."

Chen Pingan closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, there was no obvious emotion on his face, and his eyes were deep, like an abyss with no bottom.

What is Zhao Zhiting's purpose in sending this letter to me?
Did they really hope that he would investigate Feng Shixian's affairs thoroughly? Or would it be in the interests of Qiankun Division if he investigated Feng Shixian's affairs thoroughly?

Did they hope that he would fight Guan Yuping, so that the Qiankun Division would reap the benefits? Or did they hope that he would see the reality of the Zhenfu Division, so as to win him over?

Or is there some other reason?

Chen Pingan recalled the scene of his communication with Zhao Zhiting in his mind, carefully combing through every word in the letter, trying to piece together a complete motive from the fragmented information.

After a long time, Chen Pingan finally stood up from the chair.

"It's useless to think too much without doing anything! Since it all started with Feng Shixian's death, let's investigate the matter first. In addition."

"I don't care what conspiracies or plots you have. If you really anger me, I will slap Guan Yuping and Zhao Zhiting to death!"

hum~
A golden light flashed between Chen Ping'an's eyebrows, with an indescribable sense of tyranny.

With a clear direction, Chen Pingan prepared to go to the place where Feng Shixian died early the next morning.

When I was about to leave, I happened to meet a general who was about to lead a team out.

"Master Chen, are you going out?"

The general flag was called Niu Lianggong, who rode on a tall horse, followed by more than 20 elite officers. He looked at Chen Pingan, who was traveling alone on a horse, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

It has been quite some time since Chen Pingan took up his post. However, Guan Yuping, the inspector of the outer trade route, has not returned yet. They all saw Guan Yuping's attitude towards Chen Pingan.

As the saying goes, if the leader does something, the followers will surely follow suit!

In addition, Chen Ping'an had just arrived and had not yet handed over his duties. He only had the title of Deputy Inspector, but his subordinates had no real power. Especially when he saw Chen Pingan alone and surrounded by people, Niu Lianggong lost his respect even more.

However, Niu Lianggong was not a fool. He did not show disrespect or show disrespect.

"Niu Zongqi!"

Chen Pingan glanced at Niu Lianggong.

Although the other party's tone sounded respectful, Chen Pingan didn't like the look in his eyes. It was not like the look a subordinate would give his superior. "Why don't you dismount when you see me?"

Chen Ping'an is now the deputy envoy of the outer inspection of the trade route, at the level of deputy commander, and is qualified to call himself the envoy. However, in normal times, he often shows his approachable side, so he doesn't often use it.

Upon hearing this, Niu Lianggong was stunned.

As a subordinate, he does need to dismount and salute when he sees his superior. But most of the time, people just let it go and don't follow the rules so strictly.

Since taking office, Chen Pingan has spoken to them in a gentle tone with a smile on his face, and he looks like a good scholar wherever he goes. Just now, he wanted to take advantage of the situation to improve his reputation in front of his subordinates. He thought that with the other party's personality, they would not say anything.

But he never expected that the other party would have such a strong reaction.

This made him stunned for a moment.

Ok?
Chen Ping'an's eyes fell on Niu Lianggong, as if they were of great weight.

Feeling the other person's gaze, Niu Lianggong's face suddenly changed, and a piece of information that he had consciously ignored suddenly came to his mind.

Rookie List No. 91, Mang Dao! Acting rashly and without regard for the consequences
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Niu Lianggong forced a smile, dismounted, and bowed to Chen Pingan.

"I, Niu Lianggong, pay my respects to Lord Chen!"

Looking at Niu Lianggong who was bowing respectfully, Chen Pingan curled up the corner of his mouth into a faint sneer.

He has kept a low profile for too long. It was fine with Guan Yuping, but now that he's back at the base, any Tom, Dick or Harry dares to confront him!
If he ignores Niu Lianggong's behavior today and does not take any countermeasures, it will probably get worse and worse, and everyone may follow suit.

The top leader doesn't like the second-in-command, and the second-in-command is made of clay and has no temperament. I'm afraid some opportunists will pull down the second-in-command in order to please the top leader!

The human heart is difficult to understand.

But the real superior is not only about having great power. It is also about being able to control people's hearts and control the situation.

"Niu Lianggong, sometimes, you only focus on what your superiors mean and fail to see clearly. In the end, you end up getting confused! Doing your own work honestly and fulfilling your duties is more important than anything else!"

"Thank you for your teachings, Lord Chen. I will keep it in mind." Niu Lianggong lowered his head, and his expression could not be seen clearly. It was unknown whether he had heard Chen Ping'an's words or not.

Chen Ping'an ignored him. After beating the other party for a while, he pulled the reins and walked straight out of the gate of the camp.

Only after Chen Pingan left did Niu Lianggong slowly raise his head and sneer, "What a powerful official! If you don't know, you would think he is the inspector!"

Niu Lianggong sneered and immediately jumped on his horse. When he looked in the direction where Chen Pingan left, Chen Pingan's back had disappeared at the end of the road.

Looking around, Niu Lianggong showed a trace of contempt on his face: "You have the title of Deputy Inspector, but you are alone when you go out. In the final analysis, apart from those few ugly people you brought with you, there is no one else you can use. You are already so weak, and in such a situation, you don't make friends with us, but dare to take advantage of your status to show off. You are simply courting death!

Do you think you can defeat the official by yourself? It's simply a fantasy!"

Niu Lianggong sneered softly, turned his horse around in a circle, and shouted loudly to the riders behind him.

"Brothers, let's go on patrol!"

"Yes, Lord Niu!" The riders behind him responded one after another.

The horses' hooves rolled out of the station gate, raising a cloud of dust. Compared to Chen Ping'an, who was alone, their movements were undoubtedly much louder.
