Li Changsheng smiled but did not say anything.
"Impudent! Why aren't you kneeling and bowing when you see my lord?”
Upon hearing Xu Xianchun's words, Shen Lian and the rest's faces were already filled with anger. Shen Lian scolded him angrily.
As the saying went, a subject would die if his master was humiliated.
These Brocade Guards who were loyal to Li Changsheng could not tolerate Xu Xianchun's contemptuous attitude.
In just a few steps, Xu Xianchun was already less than ten meters away from Li Changsheng and the rest. The smile on his face had already frozen. He looked at Shen Lian coldly and said,""Is this how Commander-in-Chief Qian commands his subordinates?
A mere centurion dares to say such words to me?
If Commander Qian doesn't know the way to rule, I can teach him on his behalf!”
He had changed his address from Xu to this official.
As for Shen Lian, even though he had been promoted to the position of a Thousand Households of the Jinyiwei by Li Changsheng, he had not changed his Jinyiwei uniform. He was still wearing the silver flying fish uniform of a Hundred Households of the Jinyiwei.
"Xu Xianchun, I don't need you to teach my people.”
"Moreover, I don't think there's anything wrong with my reprimanding.”
"I am the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards promoted by His Majesty.”
"You, Xu Xianchun, are my subordinate.”
"Not only you, but all the people from the South Town's Yamen have to bow respectfully when they see me.”
"The entire South Town Governor's Office is under my command.”
Li Changsheng looked at Xu Xianchun calmly and said,""Now, why aren't you kneeling down and bowing?"
Hearing Li Changsheng's words, Xu Xianchun's expression changed slightly. According to his rank and authority, he should indeed bow.
However, no matter what, he was still the governor of South Town, and behind him was the commander of the guards, Cui Ying Yuan.
More importantly, behind them was the Governor of the East Chamber, Wei Zhongxian!
Li Changsheng made him kneel and bow. He was caught between a rock and a hard place.
Xu Xianchun didn't believe that Li Changsheng didn't know about this. He thought that even if Li Changsheng was favored by the Emperor, he would still have some scruples. Who didn't know the name of the Governor of the East Chamber, Wei Zhongxian?
Who knew that Li Changsheng was not afraid at all?
Suddenly!
"Greetings, Milord."
The Brocade Guard cavalrymen behind Xu Xianchun immediately knelt down and shouted at Li Changsheng with reverence in their eyes.
Countless people in the capital knew that Li Changsheng had exchanged the 50,000 taels of silver that the Emperor had given him for rice, flour, grain, and other daily necessities to give to the poor people in the northern area of the outer city.
It was impossible for the Brocade Guards and cavalrymen of the South Town's Yamen to not know about this.
Moreover, Li Changsheng had not only done such a thing. He had also sent the Brocade Guard of the North Town's Ministry of Justice to arrest the seventh-grade Imperial Censor Ma Yu for corruption and bribery. It could be said that the entire Brocade Guard felt proud and elated.
During the Hongzhi Dynasty, Emperor Hongzhi did not pay attention to the Embroidered Uniform Guards. How badly were the Embroidered Uniform Guards suppressed by the civil officials in the court?
Not only the Brocade Guard cavalrymen of the North Town's Yamen, but also the cavalrymen of the South Town's Yamen could not raise their heads.
After all, outsiders didn't know if you were the Jinyiwei of the North Town or the South Town. To them, it was the same.
Even in the South Town Governor's Office, there were countless people who admired Li Changsheng.
“……”
Xu Xianchun's face turned ashen.
More than half of the hundreds of Imperial Brocade Guards and cavalrymen that he had brought to demonstrate to Li Changsheng had knelt down. Even a few of the centenarians of the North Town Governor's Office had knelt down. It would be strange if he was in a good mood.
In just a moment, there were only a dozen or so die-hard loyalists standing behind Xu Xianchun.
These ten or so loyal men were basically the hundred or even the thousand men of the Brocade Guard of the North Town Administrative Office. These people were either loyal to Xu Xianchun or had their hands stained with the blood of innocent people. In front of Li Changsheng, the commander of the Brocade Guard who had the reputation of caring for the people, they felt suspicious.
"Xu Xianchun, why aren't you kneeling down?"
Shen Lian scolded Xu Xianchun again.
Hearing Shen Lian's words, Xu Xianchun gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. He hugged his fists and kneeled down.
" There's no need to kneel," Li Changsheng said calmly." Men, take them all down and send them to the Imperial Prison of the Northern Town Governor."”
Xu Xianchun's expression changed drastically when he heard this. He did not expect that Li Changsheng would not only give him a show of strength, but also throw him into the imperial prison.
If Xu Xianchun didn't know about the situation in the Imperial Prison, he wouldn't be worthy of being the South Town's governor!
Who cares who you are, can you still come out of prison alive?
The Hundred Households and Thousand Households of the Embroidered Uniform Guards behind Xu Xianchun all revealed terrified expressions and involuntarily gripped the hilt of the Embroidered Spring Saber at their waists.
It was as if they would follow Xu Xianchun and charge out of the South Town Governor's Office as soon as he gave the order.
"Commander Qian, do you know the consequences of doing this?”
Xu Xianchun looked at Li Changsheng coldly.
"What consequences?"
"This Embroidered Uniform Guard is His Majesty's Embroidered Uniform Guard.”
"Could it be that he can turn the world upside down?”
"And you are only the governor of the South Garrison. Since I am in charge of the South Garrison, I have the power to take you down.”
"Xu Xianchun, do you really think that I don't know what you've done?”
"The evidence of your crime is already too numerous to record in the North Town's Ministry of Justice!”
"Why do you think I came to the South Town's Prefect Office? I'm here to capture you, the sinful envoy of South Town's Ministry of Justice!”
Li Changsheng glared at Xu Xianchun with a murderous look in his eyes as he spoke in a cold voice.
Naturally, he could tell that Xu Xianchun had already reached the Connate Realm. It was very likely that he had already reached the advanced Connate Realm.
As the governor of South Town, he was not weak.
However, he could tell Xu Xianchun's cultivation level, but he could not tell his cultivation level. After stepping into the Connate Realm, the hidden ability of his Supreme Mystery Scripture had already been revealed. As long as he did not want others to know his cultivation level, even if they were one realm higher than him, they would not be able to tell.
