The next morning, Zhao Chen came out of the Governor's Office. Today he was going to Quanzhou Port to check the defense situation.

Zhang Ji and a group of officials followed aside.

Although the ronin attacked many times, Quanzhou Port was the most prosperous port in the Tang Dynasty after all.

There were many people coming and going on the street, and all kinds of horses and vehicles were pulling goods by the street.

There are also many businessmen who are not in the Tang Dynasty.

These are people from the ocean.

However, when they speak, they speak standard official words.

"They all came from the ocean. Some of them were Flangji, and some were called Greece..." Someone explained to Zhao Chen on the side.

Zhao Chen didn't ask much, he didn't care about these things.

He just wanted to know how the military affairs of Quanzhou Port were.

Continue walking forward and see the Quanzhou army patrolling.

Seeing Zhang Ji following someone, the soldiers quickly walked over and stopped two meters away.

Then salute.

But they did not salute Zhao Chen, but Zhang Ji.

"I have met the Governor." The soldiers saluted, and their eyes were filled with admiration when they looked at Zhang Ji.

Obviously these people admire Zhang Ji very much.

"Non-no, haven't you seen His Highness the King of Han and His Highness the King of Shu here?"

"So quickly to meet with your two high men." Zhang Ji rebuked lightly.

Everyone then realized and saluted Zhao Chen and Li Ke again.

Li Ke showed displeasure, but Zhao Chen didn't say anything.

"Your Highness, these people are not etiquette, and they are negligent in management. Please punish them." Zhang Ji bowed and apologized to Zhao Chen.

But anyone with discerning eyes knows that Zhao Chen will not deal with Zhang Ji because of this matter.

Besides, why should Zhao Chen deal with others?

"What did Governor Zhang say? We are just a newcomer, and it is normal for the soldiers to not recognize them. Besides, seeing that the soldiers admire Governor Zhang so much, I am very happy."

"This shows that Governor Zhang has really managed Quanzhou Port in an orderly manner."

"Let's keep moving forward." Zhao Chen said that, and then continued to move forward with a smile.

Zhang Ji waved to the soldiers and signaled them to continue patrolling, while he was following Zhao Chen with his men.

After leaving the city, you will walk about ten miles to the port.

Thousands of merchant ships of all sizes docked at the port.

The port terminals are full of laborers busy loading and unloading goods.

Boxes of goods were sent to the ox cart and pulled into the city.

There are also a lot of goods that are moved from shore to ship, and these are all transported overseas.

Wherever you see, there are bustling people and the sounds are everywhere.

"This is a port, and the ronin didn't actually come from here, because there are too many people here, and they dare not rush."

"The place they often land in is a place called Niu Village, five miles north of the north. It is close to the sea. In the past, many fishermen went out to sea to catch fish."

"It's just that the ronin attacked several times, killed many people, and touched other villages from Niu Village. Our people were exhausted and chased them several times, but they didn't catch a ronin." Zhang Ji sighed and could see that

This incident made him very bored.

"It's no wonder that Governor Zhang, you are cunning. Moreover, someone might inform them, so the soldiers in the city can't catch anyone." Zhao Chen said casually.

But in the ears of other officials, their hearts were pounding violently.

Who can stand here, who can't hear what Zhao Chen said just now is alluding to.

Someone in the Quanzhou Governor's Office colluded with the Japanese ronin.

If this is really investigated, they may be blamed.

Even if they did not conspire with the Japanese ronin.

But when sitting in this position, your butt is always impossible to be so clean.

"What your highness said is that the lower officials have always emphasized in the yamen that anyone who dares to collude with the Japanese ronin will be unable to get along with me, Zhang Ji."

"I will definitely peel off his skin." Zhang Ji was a little excited.

Perhaps it was Zhao Chen's words that made him feel that Zhao Chen was questioning his ability.

"Don't worry, sir, we will definitely not dare to have any contact with the Japanese ronin."

"The Japanese ronin and my Tang Dynasty are mortal enemies. Even if we die, we will never be able to collude with him."

"His Highness the King of Han clearly understands that we have no intention of rebelling against the people."

The officials quickly explained to Zhao Chen and Zhang Ji.

Zhao Chen smiled and waved his hand to signal everyone not to be excited.

I didn't go to the Niu Village that was attacked by the Japanese ronin again, but I continued to walk around the port twice.

Niu Village was destroyed, and it was meaningless to go there.

As for the Quanzhou army has never been able to catch a Japanese ronin, Zhao Chen even didn't believe it at all.

Among them, someone must have conspired with the Japanese ronin.

It is time for the army in Quanzhou to leave the city to arrest Japanese ronin. If no one was informing him, it would be impossible for a single ronin to be without a shadow.

But Zhao Chen knew that this matter was not that easy to investigate.

The Quanzhou officialdom is probably all in the same circle.

In this way, it means that if you want to investigate this matter, it will definitely affect your whole body.

It wouldn't be a good thing for these guys to deal with themselves together.

To deal with the officials in Quanzhou, we have to wait until we finish the Japanese ronin before making plans.

Everyone returned to the Governor's Office, but there was no movement for half a month.

Even Zhao Chen believed that all the ronin died at sea.

But until this day.

Zhao Chen was sleeping in the room when suddenly he heard a sound from afar.

The war horses were neighing, and then Zhang Ji ordered the yamen runners to gather in the yamen.

One hundred soldiers guarding the Governor's Office were also urgently mobilized by him.

"Brother, just now, the news came that the Japanese ronin attacked Mangcun and killed nearly one hundred people in the Tang Dynasty. They are now fleeing to the sea." Li Ke stood at the door and knocked on Zhao Chen's door.

Zhao Chen opened the door and was already dressed.

"Where is Han Chong?" Zhao Chen asked Li Ke.

"He is leading the troops to chase him." Li Ke quickly answered.

"Brother, are you going to see it?"

"It's late at night, there may be ronin outside at any time, which is too dangerous." Li Ke saw that Zhao Chen was about to go out, so he quickly persuaded him.

Although it is very important whether the ronin can be removed, Zhao Chen's safety is more important in comparison.

Li Ke didn't want Zhao Chen to go out of the city to chase the ronin in the middle of the night.

Those roninmen even killed women and children, and their methods must be extremely cruel. Li Ke didn't want Zhao Chen to take this risk.

"Zhang Ji has gone, why can't I go? Besides, you and a hundred Xuanjia Army are enough," Zhao Chen said, and then headed straight outside the Governor's Office.

Outside the Governor's Office, Zhang Ji had already prepared his troops. When he saw Zhao Chen coming out, he quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Your Highness, it's dangerous outside the city, and your Highness is still staying in the Governor's Office."
