Liu Heng comforted and said: "Master Liu is our Datong Governor, a second-rank official, and also the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the prince Shaobao. That Lord Wang is just a seventh-rank inspector. In any case, so is the governor.

He is a superior."

"Sometimes a lower official may not be afraid of a superior official, and a superior official may not necessarily control the lower official." Du Wanyuan looked helpless, shook his head slightly, and said, "Dr. Liu is far away from the court and does not know what is going on in the court. Don't look at it.

This Wang Xunxian is only a seventh-rank Xunxian, but he has the support of the Donglin Party behind him, so even my family has to avoid him."

Liu Heng said with a smile: "The governor has been an official for many years, and this time he has made a comeback. I think there will be Austrian aid in Beijing. No matter how powerful the Donglin Party is, it will not be able to dominate the court with one hand."

Hu Ziqi has his own channels for inquiring about information in the capital, and news from the capital is constantly being transmitted back to Lingqiu. He knows more about the affairs of the Donglin Party than the Du staff next to him.

Moreover, he knew very well in his heart that although the Donglin Party was enjoying great glory now, the third year of Tianqi would be the turning point in the collapse of the Donglin Party. The political affairs of the fourth year of Tianqi would be completely controlled by Wei Zhongxian.

However, he would not say these words to Du Wanyuan in front of him, and even if he did, the other party might not believe him.

Nowadays, no one inside or outside the court would have thought that the Donglin Party would be defeated in just a few years. Even Wei Zhongxian, the biggest beneficiary of the Donglin Party's defeat, could not have imagined this.

"I hope so!" Du Wanyuan sighed, thinking that Liu Heng was comforting him.

The Donglin Party supported two emperors on the throne, one was the late emperor, and the other was the current emperor. With such great achievements, the Donglin Party had already turned the court into what they called a prosperous court. As for the Qi Party and Chu

Parties like the Party have become treacherous in the minds of Donglin Party members.

As a staff member around Liu Hong, he knew that his master was from the Chu Party, and he was unwilling to bow to the Donglin Party. Even if there were one or two aids from the DPRK, they would not be of much use against the already behemoth Donglin Party.

Outside the gate of the governor's office, Wang Xinyi stood at the foot of the stone steps with a gloomy expression.

Some civil and military officials who had originally gathered around him now quietly retreated to other places.

The people present were all people who had been officials for many years. They all saw the scene just now. They could not guess that there was no harmony between the newly appointed inspector and the governor.

If you stay with the governor at this time, you are putting yourself on the opposite side of the governor.

A governor only serves for one year. After one year, the governor will return to Beijing to report on his duties. However, the governor will stay in Datong for at least a few years. Although they are local officials in Datong, they do not want to offend this position.

I despise the powerful Governor, but I don’t want to offend the high-ranking Governor.

Only then did Wang Xinyi, who had been empty of people around him, realize that the previous compliments he received from others were entirely based on the fact that he had not offended the person in the governor's office. Once he showed that he was not compatible with that governor, others would disagree with him.

He is distant.

However, the more this happened, the more he realized that he had to fulfill his duties as governor. He must not let Liu Hong, the governor, cover the sky in Datong. He had to monitor the civil and military officials of Datong for the emperor and the court.

A little further away from him, there were several generals wearing scarlet robes.

When these generals saw Liu Heng, the proprietor of the Tiger Flag, being personally brought into the governor's office by the governor's staff, while the Datong governor was blocked outside, they felt regretful.

If we had known that Dongzhu Liu of Tiger Character Banner was so close to the governor, we should not have cared about the attitude of the Inspector Wang just now, but should have gotten close to Dongzhu Liu earlier.

Unfortunately, it was too late to regret it at this time, but they made a decision in their hearts. When Liu Dongzhu came out after meeting the governor, they must get close to each other to make up for the previous loss.

Liu Heng came to the governor's Yamen for the first time, walked on the corridor, and looked around curiously.

Du Wanyuan walked beside and led the way.

Soon, the two people walked through the corridor and came to the back of the Yamen. Du Wanyuan opened the door and walked in.

"Student, I have met you, sir." Du Wanyuan bowed and saluted Liu Hong, who was sitting at the top.

Liu Heng, who followed him in, took two steps forward, lifted up his clothes, knelt on the ground, and said, "Liu Heng, a common man, please bow to the governor."

Zhao Wu, who was behind, also knelt on the ground and followed him to salute.

Liu Hong put down the bowl in his hand, stood up from his seat, walked to Liu Heng, bent down and stretched out his hand to support Liu Heng's arm, and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, please get up quickly."

Du Wanyuan, who was standing aside, paused for a moment, looking puzzled.

I didn't expect that the governor would personally come to help Liu Heng stand up, without any pretense of the governor.

Liu Heng was also surprised. He didn't understand what Liu Hong in front of him meant. A dignified first-class official turned around to help him, a white businessman.

Although he didn't understand why Liu Hong was like this, he still said respectfully: "It's really embarrassing for the common people to be so kind to the common people."

"Hey! What are you talking about?" Liu Hongxiang was dissatisfied and immediately said, "You and I are both descendants of the Liu family. It is impossible to say that we were still a family hundreds of years ago."

"If this is true, it is the blessing that the common people have cultivated over many generations." Liu Heng said with a humble face.

Standing aside, Du Wanyuan felt that he couldn't understand his master. He didn't understand when his master became so easy to talk to. Moreover, this was not the first time that his master met Liu Dongzhu. The previous time he met Liu Heng, he didn't have this kind of expression.

Although he is so close to him, he actually looks down upon him.

Although this was the second time I met Mr. Liu, his attitude was completely different from the last time.

Liu Hong didn't notice Du Wanyuan's expression, but held Liu Heng's hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "Dr. Liu and I are both descendants of the Liu family. There is no need to be so out of touch in the future and just sit with me."

Can."

With that said, he took Liu Heng to a seat aside.

After Liu Heng sat down, he ordered the servant on the side: "Serve tea to Mr. Liu."

After a short time, the servant who stayed in the back office brought a cup of hot tea to Liu Heng.

"The common people thank you, sir." Liu Heng stood up and saluted Liu Hong.

Liu Hong raised his hand and pressed it softly, and said at the same time: "I said, there is no need to be so open to the outside world."

"Yes." Liu Heng cupped his hands and then sat back in his seat.

Liu Hong picked up the bowl, took a sip of tea, and said: "Dr. Liu's tiger-character flag business is quite big. After I left Datong, I often heard people mention the name of the tiger-character flag."

"Your Excellency, this is ridiculous." Liu Heng bowed.

Liu Hong waved his hand and said: "This is not what I said casually. This time I returned to Beijing and met Eunuch Wei. Eunuch Wei often praised Dongzhu Liu in front of me."

Hearing the words "Eunuch Wei", Liu Heng suddenly realized.

Only then did he understand why Liu Hong was so polite to him when he met him. I am afraid that the governor misunderstood the Tiger Flag as Wei Zhongxian's property outside.

However, this matter was obviously beneficial to him and Hu Ziqi. Regardless of whether Liu Hong really misunderstood or not, he was not going to explain it.

Then, with a smile on his face, he said: "It turns out that your Excellency has met Eunuch Wei."

Hearing these words in Liu Hong's ears made him more and more certain that Tiger Flag had an unknown relationship with Wei Zhongxian, otherwise Wei Zhongxian would not have mentioned Tiger Flag's business name to him for no reason.

Du Wanyuan, who was standing aside, looked at Liu Heng carefully.
