"Your Highness, please command. Your humble servant will do his utmost to alleviate your worries and solve your problems."

Looking at Zheng Baorong, who was standing below with a respectful attitude and sincere expression, Li Chen said with a smile: "Don't be so serious, this matter isn't actually that difficult to handle."

Saying that, Li Chen randomly drew a piece of paper from the five pieces prepared in advance by Sanzhao. Each piece had a different location written on it.

The Three Treasures came over and took the note. Without looking at its contents, they turned around and handed it to Zheng Baorong below.

Zheng Baorong respectfully took the paper with both hands and glanced at it. However, he found that there was only an ordinary address written on it. In fact, he had even heard of this place. It was located in the western suburbs of the capital city, a rather remote area. Apart from those who lived there, few people would go there.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Baorong's scalp instantly went numb.

Rebels!

Anything associated with these two characters is definitely not a good thing.

Zheng Baorong racked her brains, but she couldn't figure it out. How could over a hundred rebel soldiers have gotten to the western suburbs And why had His Highness ordered her to lead troops to suppress them

Even though His Highness has the Dongchang and Jinyiwei at his disposal, and thousands of soldiers fresh from victory on the battlefield are in the capital, it somehow falls to me, a mere City Magistrate, to handle such a crucial matter.

After much thought, Li Chen remained silent. Afraid to ask, but unable to understand, he could only say with a forced smile, "My humble servant understands."

"Go, gather your men and set out as soon as possible. This matter needs to be handled well." Li Chen instructed.

Zheng Baorong respectfully said, "Your humble servant Ding Dang has not disappointed your trust. Please wait for good news from your humble servant."

After seeing Zheng Baorong off, Li Chen asked the three treasures: "Send someone to follow him and then call Guan Zhiwei."

The Three Treasures respectfully replied.

A moment later, Guan Zhiwei came over from his duty post.

Another round of empty platitudes, Li Chen drew a note with an address on it, copied the same words he had said to Zheng Baorong, and asked Guan Zhiwei to handle it.

This time, Guan Zhiwei was even more puzzled than Zheng Baorong.

Although Zheng Baorong felt that such an important matter was not his place to handle, as the magistrate of the capital city, he had a responsibility and authority to deal with the rebellion in the capital region.

Ke Guan Zhi Wei was the Right Servant of the Ministry of Works, a civil official. How could he possibly lead troops to quell a rebellion

But like Zheng Baorong, he was puzzled but didn't dare to ask too much. He obediently took the mission and left.

Thus, a pattern emerged: three out of the four individuals received the same task from Li Chen: to eradicate rebel forces. The only difference was the designated location for each mission.

And these three locations, all of which were transmitted by the Dongchang and Xu Wei during this period, were indeed hiding people Zhao Xuanji had prepared for a coup.

The only difference is that Zhao Heshan is in Xishan Province. Li Chen plans to wait a little longer and eliminate these three people first.

Li Chen was very clear that once a traitor appeared among these three people, Zhao Xuanji would definitely immediately transfer and hide all the personnel who had been prepared in advance, given his personality. If Dongchang wanted to figure out the new location, the cost would be enormous.

But all of this is worth it compared to catching the mole.Chapter 529 The Most Despicable Business
