Chapter 386 The Shangfang Sword

"Before tomorrow morning, it will be the Shangfang Sword (imperial sword symbolizing authority)," Li Mingsheng said, pointing to the government order. "But whether the Shangfang Sword from above will be fully recognized in an autonomous state like Dragon City depends on how you use it."

Su Tianyu's blood boiled when he heard this, "Understood, Mayor."

"Get to work first." Li Mingsheng responded calmly. At this moment, he was no longer the middle-aged man fleeing in the wilderness, looking disheveled and miserable. Instead, he exuded a powerful aura, a regional official holding power in his hands.

...

Half an hour later.

Su Tianyu and Secretary Li Yuan left the garrison base together. The latter was specially sent by Li Mingsheng to assist Gou Liuzi (Su Tianyu) in handling affairs. But the secretary directly represented the mayor, so he probably wouldn't jump to the forefront in matters that were inconvenient for the mayor to appear in person.

"Let's go directly to the Wen family," Su Tianyu said softly to Li Yuan. "My friend Yu Mingyuan is there."

"Okay, let's go." Li Yuan nodded.

A group of six or seven people got into the car and headed straight for the Wen family.

On the way, Li Yuan seemed very talkative, actively chatting with Su Tianyu about what was happening outside the district, but the latter was calculating many things in his head, so his answers were a little perfunctory.

Soon, the car stopped in front of the Wen family's villa. Li Yuan sat in the car and said, "You go down and talk, I won't go in."

"Alright." Su Tianyu replied, relieved, and pushed the door open to get out of the car.

Just like that, Li Yuan and the others waited in the car, while Su Tianyu stepped into the courtyard and saw Yu Mingyuan.

"Damn, you really have a big life!" Yu Mingyuan said with concern when he saw Gou Liuzi (Su Tianyu). "I heard you were out of contact, and I almost ordered an urn for you!"

"Stop talking nonsense, is Brigade Commander Wen inside?"

"Yes!" Yu Mingyuan nodded. "What exactly happened to Lao Li (Li Mingsheng)? It's not quite what we thought...?!"

"It's hard to explain this to you in a short time, but... but I'm not exaggerating when I say that I might not have many more chances to call you大哥 (Big Brother)," Su Tianyu replied very honestly.

"Huh?! What the hell does that mean?"

"...!" Su Tianyu glanced around furtively and directly showed the investigation order: "Do you know what this is?"

Yu Mingyuan glanced at the investigation order. Although he didn't know the specific function of this thing, he still replied with a very shocked look: "Damn, the District Council's signature, why did they give it to you?!"

"Lao Li (Li Mingsheng) was ambushed outside the district, and he returned to Dragon City after surviving a narrow escape. He's definitely going to stab back at them with a bloody counterattack!" Su Tianyu said in a low voice. "This investigation order is for secretly investigating the mayor's assassination and the Chi Army's hijacking of the Regulatory Commission. This is Lao Li's (Li Mingsheng)'s connections backing him up, an imperial edict obtained for him."

"You're not bragging, are you??" Yu Mingyuan asked cautiously.

"Damn it, look at the state of me, do I have the mind to brag to you?" Su Tianyu pointed to his injured arm and said, "I was almost cremated on the mountain, you know?"

When Yu Mingyuan saw his embarrassed appearance, he immediately replied, "I knew you'd be successful since you were a kid, Big Brother!"

"What did you call me?"

"Big Brother, you don't need to call me Big Brother anymore in the future. We don't need to be so formal with each other..."

"Steady!"

"Pa!" Yu Mingyuan slapped him and cursed at Su Tianyu in a low voice: "I gave you an inch, and you really took a mile?! Hurry up and tell me, what do you need Uncle Wen to do?"

"You have to cooperate with me later..." Su Tianyu replied.

"How do I cooperate?"

The two of them chatted furtively and quickly walked into the Wen family's villa hall.

...

Wen family, in the study.

Wen Zhanbo looked at the disheveled Su Tianyu: "Lao Li (Li Mingsheng) is back?"

Su Tianyu didn't hesitate at all: "He's back."

Wen Zhanbo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He didn't ask Su Tianyu where Li Mingsheng was currently, but only said in a low voice, "Then what do you want to say to me by coming here?"

Su Tianyu stepped forward and very decisively took out the investigation order from his arms and placed it in front of Wen Zhanbo: "Uncle Wen, a big event is going to happen in Dragon City today. The mayor asked me to come here to connect with our garrison." Da Feng Novel

Wen Zhanbo glanced at the investigation order, and the shock in his eyes flashed past: "How do you want to connect?"

"Please have the garrison enter the city to maintain stability and help clear out those corrupt officials," Su Tianyu replied without hesitation.

"That won't work." Wen Zhanbo waved his hand directly. "We need the order from the Weishui Garrison Headquarters to enter the city. The local government can't mobilize us."

Su Tianyu was silent.

"To put it more bluntly, the garrison can't openly interfere in the struggles within the city." Wen Zhanbo said bluntly, "Even the Weishui Commander is avoiding this kind of thing. How could we possibly put ourselves near the fire?"

Su Tianyu paused for a moment and replied, "Then can the garrison maintain neutrality?!"

Wen Zhanbo glanced at the investigation order, slowly got up, and walked around the room with his hands behind his back before saying, "Tell Mayor Li that I will coordinate and mediate with the garrison, and our final position will definitely be neutral, and I personally support Mayor Li."

Su Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "I will definitely convey it truthfully!"

Wen Zhanbo nodded, looking at Yu Mingyuan: "It's also good to interact more with the mayor."

"Hehe, yes, yes!" Yu Mingyuan responded repeatedly, "The mayor has a big brand. This thing can be done."

The three of them talked in the study for less than ten minutes and reached an agreement behind the scenes. Then, Su Tianyu said goodbye and left, and said as he walked out of the courtyard, "Brother Yuan, you keep an eye on the garrison. Call me immediately if there's any disturbance. Also, get me a set of clean clothes."

"What about you?"

"Damn it, I risked my life to get things done. How can I not take advantage of this sudden godsend opportunity?!" Su Tianyu winked at Yu Mingyuan and walked forward with a smile.

Yu Mingyuan curled his lips and commented, "He's perfectly interpreting what it means to be a snob!"

...

In the car.

Seeing Su Tianyu opening the door and getting in, Li Yuan immediately asked, "How did it go?!"

"It didn't go well at first." Su Tianyu shook his head and replied, "Wen Zhanbo's attitude was very ambiguous, but luckily my friend Yu Mingyuan was there. We worked hard to explain a lot, and we showed him the investigation order before he agreed to help mediate."

"Can he guarantee the garrison's attitude?" the secretary asked.

"Yes!" Su Tianyu gave an affirmative answer, his eyes gleaming as he replied, "But he has a small request."

"What request?"

"Where is the Dragon City Political Investigation Department? We might have to go there." Su Tianyu replied.

"What are you going there for?!" Li Yuan was a little confused.

...

Dragon City, inside a secret small command center.

A man looked at Secretary-General Lu and said, "Lao Li (Li Mingsheng) must be back. He hasn't shown up because he's planning something big."

Secretary-General Lu gritted his teeth: "What does the higher-up mean?"

"Di Ling Ling!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang. A young man answered the landline and responded twice, then looked at Secretary-General Lu and said, "It's a call from the chairman of the Regulatory Commission."

Secretary-General Lu immediately greeted him: "I'm Xiao Lu..."

"Lu, the plan has failed. You have to leave Dragon City and go to District One. I've arranged everything," the other party said in an unquestionable tone.
