The governor was surprised by what King Rong said, but naturally he would not admit it. If he did, it might become "collusion between government and businessmen."
Although he couldn't figure out what the prince's purpose was for a while, the governor was already keenly aware that there might be something wrong with the identity of "Boss Jiang".
His expression did not change as he thought in his mind: "Boss Jiang has donated money and materials since he came to Huai'an, which can be regarded as benefiting the people. The official has indeed dealt with her. But friendship... does not count."
After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment and then asked: "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with Mr. Jiang's words?"
Xiao Yinhan said nothing, and fumbled for the ring in his hand with his thumb again and again.
This was a habit he had developed over the past six months, and he forced himself to restrain his violent emotions in this way.
"Historian Xing thinks, why did Boss Jiang choose Huai'an Mansion to do these things?"
"This, the official really doesn't know."
Governor Xing was not lying when he said this. As the governor of a state, he was also very diligent. He was very busy with official duties every day and even had to find time to beat his son.
Although there are people keeping an eye on Boss Jiang's matters, as long as she doesn't go out of her way, he won't pay too much attention.
Even the kid in his family is smarter than him.
"What the prince means is..."
The governor paused before he finished speaking and looked at the pile of letter paper handed over by the man.
His eyebrows beat twice, feeling inexplicably uneasy, and then he reached out and took it.
After seeing the content on the paper clearly, my heart was even more disturbed:
"This, Your Majesty, this is..."
He looked at Xiao Yinhan and then lowered his eyes to read the letter. The surprise on his face was not fake at all.
Not only was he surprised that Boss Jiang had done so many things in half a year without arousing any suspicion from the government; he was even more surprised by the methods of the man in front of him. Didn't he just come to Huai'an for one day?
How come we collected so many things!
"The subordinates really don't know these things, and they are negligent in their duties..."
Seeing the shock on Governor Xing's face, Xiao Yinhan half-closed his eyes and said nothing.
Ever since I heard the words "Huai'an Mansion" from Bai Muzhi that day, my originally vague dream suddenly became clear.
He immediately sent people to Huai'an Prefecture to investigate. Originally he was just looking for the local famine and water conservancy situation, but unexpectedly found that others were doing the same thing.
When he thought that that person might be..., Xiao Yinhan's breathing became heavy and confused.
The ring on his finger was squeezed a little tighter, and the pain forced him to calm down. It was clear that the hurricane had already passed through his heart and his rationality was shattered, but he was not allowed to reveal anything.
The prosecutor on the side finally read the whole thing and frowned tightly. Although he didn't fully understand Boss Jiang's specific purpose, he vaguely noticed something.
He put down the letter in his hand and asked, "Where is the land inspector?"
-
After running around for days and being "angry" last night, Bai Muzhi didn't sleep well. When he woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Then she learned that Xiao Yinhan and Cui Shuwang left the inn early in the morning, but no one informed her.
"They didn't say anything?" Bai Muzhi looked at Xia He, her beautiful eyes looking a little stubborn.
"No..." Xia He knew his lady well and knew how unhappy this incident would make her, so he quickly diverted her attention with another thing:
"Although the prince and General Zhonglang have left, Captain Xing is still here." Although the other party stayed here because he was hungover, it didn't matter.
"Xing Da..." Bai Muzhi paused, thinking that he was the one who refuted him for that "Boss Jiang": "It has nothing to do with me."
"No, no, it does matter." Xia He hurriedly pressed her hand: "Lieutenant Xing has been waiting for you outside since the morning. It seems that he wants to apologize for what happened last night."
Seeing that Bai Muzhi had looked away, Xia He's tone became even better: "Miss, I've been waiting all morning, and I don't have the heart to disturb you. How about... can you meet me?"
…
"...Miss Bai, I apologize to you for what happened yesterday. I can't speak, but I definitely didn't want to make you angry."
Xing Qige's voice was a little nervous when he spoke. He was looking forward to Miss Bai coming to his birthday party with great difficulty.
He would only want to kill himself if his popularity was taken away!
"Brother Xing, you don't have to be like this. I'm not a stingy person either. I had my reasons for last night..."
Bai Muzhi was sitting in front of the man in white clothes, with a slight smile on her beautiful face, just as elegant and moving as he remembered.
"No, no, no, it's my problem." Xing Qige shook his head: "Actually, I don't like that woman either. I somehow managed to speak for her last night. It's just that I'm confused."
"Brother Xing doesn't like her?" Bai Muzhi's beautiful eyes were slightly surprised. Just when she was about to ask something, she heard a rapid knock on the door: "Sir, I have something urgent to report!"
Xing Qige was stunned for a moment, glanced at Bai Muzhi, and frowned to let him in.
"Sir..." The soldier who came in looked at Bai Muzhi sitting opposite and hesitated.
Instead, it was Xing Qige who spoke: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
He remembered this person and knew that he was targeting Boss Jiang. He had just apologized to Miss Bai, but if he avoided him now, it would appear that he had lied.
So Xing Qige didn't hesitate much and asked people to report directly in front of Bai Muzhi.
The chief has said so, so there will be no problem in being a subordinate: "Sir, sir, this morning, there were suddenly many people in the city who were inquiring about Boss Jiang."
"What?"
Xing Qige stood up subconsciously, his handsome face condensed, and asked: "What's going on? Who is investigating?"
"Yes, yes..." The soldier hesitated and hesitated, which directly angered Xing Qige.
"Just say what you say, why are you hesitating!"
"Back to your lord, the person investigating seems to be His Highness Prince Rong."
The soldier said it as soon as he closed his eyes, but the expressions of the two people in the room changed in an instant.
"What? King Rong..."
Cui Shuwang then belatedly remembered that when he woke up this morning and learned that King Rong and Zhonglang were leaving the inn, he was still a little happy.
Did they actually come for that woman?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He couldn't explain why, but waves of uneasiness surged in his heart.
"Miss Bai, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."
Xing Qige's words brought Bai Muzhi, who was also stunned, back to her senses. Only then did she realize that the two people who left her without saying a word were just for that "Boss Jiang" last night?
"What's the matter? Is it also for Boss Jiang?"
The moment the words came out of her mouth, Bai Muzhi was stunned for a moment.
"Miss Bai..." Xing Qige was also stunned.
"What I mean is, Brother Xing, there is no need to be so nervous. The two of them may just be a little suspicious of this person. If she has not committed any crime, she will be fine. You don't have to be so anxious."
It was obviously the same calm tone as before, but for some reason, Xing Qige could hear a bit of coldness in it.
"It's not because of her, I just..." Xing Qige subconsciously wanted to defend himself, but the girl in front of him didn't seem to want to listen.
He heard her ask him: "Brother Xing, I just came to Huai'an and I want to see everywhere. Can you accompany me?"
Xing Qige was speechless for a moment. He looked into the girl's eyes and his mind froze for a moment.
Say yes quickly!
Isn't this what you've been looking forward to? Do you want to take Miss Bai to be alone after shopping?
Now that Miss Bai has proposed it herself, you would be a fool if you don't agree!
Say yes quickly!
Looking at the girl's smiling eyes, Xing Qige said with difficulty: "I'm sorry, Miss Bai, I really have something important..."
-
"...Sir, Xiaotian is the newly appointed field inspection envoy. He still doesn't understand the previous situation. He will definitely be able to digest it after he returns."
Listening to the explanation given by the junior officer, the governor's face looked not good at all.
"He is newly appointed, so where is the previous inspector? Why not let him continue?"
As soon as the governor opened his mouth, the people in the underground shed tears of sorrow.
Xiao Yinhan sat on the edge without saying anything, still thinking about the news that had just been sent back:
Boss Jiang did not go to the store to inspect, nor did he go to the usual cutting places. The guards continued to investigate.
"...Go down."
The governor raised his hand to chase the people away. As soon as they left, his face turned equally ugly and he looked back at the man sitting on the seat who had not intervened.
Rumors say that this guy has a bad temper and is extremely impatient. He thought he was going to get angry just now, but...
Suddenly, Xing Cishi thought of something: "The prince is looking for Boss Jiang? There is a painter in my house who is very good at painting. Why not let him paint a portrait of Boss Jiang for the prince?"
Xing Cishi's words made the man with his eyes closed suddenly raise his head, and even he could barely resist the deep and depressing look in his eyes.
"good."
Xiao Yinhan agreed, and the governor was inexplicably relieved.
As long as you are willing to speak, as long as you still have demands, that's all.
-
"General Zhonglang, why are you here?"
Xing Qige hurried back to the Governor's Mansion, anxious to talk to his father about Rong Wang's attack on Boss Jiang.
Finally, when I came back, I saw Cui Shuwang standing there in the corridor not knowing what to think.
Cui Shuwang turned around when he heard the voice and was startled when he saw the person coming: "Master Xing is awake? Is he okay?"
This sentence made Xing Qige blush slightly, remembering his experience of being drunk.
He still remembered that there were obviously three people drinking together, but in the end he was the only one who got down without talking.
When he woke up in the morning, he was also the last one to wake up.
Really are……
"I wasn't in good condition last night. I'll have a drink with you if I have a chance," Xing Qige said.
Men, never admit defeat!
Cui Shuwang smiled and nodded without saying anything more.
"What's going on? How can you let the guest stand here?"
Xing Qige turned around and immediately raised his momentum, making the servants waiting on the side become nervous.
"Captain, don't blame them. It's just that I don't like sitting."
Cui Shuwang explained, his eyes showed a bit of nervousness unconsciously, and he looked towards the closed door.
At this moment, the room suddenly opened from the inside, and a familiar figure walked out of it.
"Xiao Yinhan..."
"I've met King Rong..."
Their words were ignored at the same time, and the man had left like a gust of wind, bringing with him a gust of cold wind that shaved his face.
Xing Qige was stunned for a moment, stood up, and looked at Cui Shuwang on the side: "Tangtang... what is it?"
Did you hear me correctly just now? When the man passed by, this was the name he shouted?
Cui Shuwang's expression was equally bad, and he subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by someone from behind: "General Zhonglang, please stay!"
When he turned around, he saw the governor, and when he looked carefully, he was holding a picture scroll in his hand.
"What is this? The person who painted it?"
Xing Qige walked over and took a look, and then the smile on his face froze: "...Jiang...Okay, why are you painting her?"
He suddenly looked up at his father.
"Jiang...Tang,"
The painter of the governor's office is quite capable, and he captures the charm of the characters very well. Even if he is wearing a veil, familiar people can recognize who he is at a glance.
Even Cui Shuwang felt his head explode the moment he saw the portrait.
"How is it possible? It's obviously already..."
He murmured, and then thought of the guy who had already rushed out, and the sense of crisis in his heart increased infinitely.
No, we must stop him quickly!
Now he is outside, and there is no Jin Yiwei around him who can suppress him anymore!
If he suddenly went crazy at this time, it would be really fatal!
Cui Shuwang shuddered and turned around to chase him out.
"General Zhonglang, please speak clearly. What happened to Boss Jiang?"
Xing Qige stopped the person with a posture of "I won't let you go until you explain clearly". Even he himself didn't understand what he was nervous about.
"this……"
Cui Shuwang originally wanted to be perfunctory, but when he thought that someone might need their help if he really went crazy, he finally chose to tell the truth:
"The person in this portrait is very similar to an old friend of King Rong..."
"No wonder..."
"Old friend? What old friend?"
The governor's words were roughly interrupted by his son: "What kind of old friend can make the prince so anxious?"
"We'll talk about this later. If you're fine, come with me to stop him! I'm afraid something will happen if it's too late!"
After Cui Shuwang finished speaking, he simply grabbed Xing Qige and ran away with him.
Although Governor Xing did not catch up, he looked at their backs, hesitated, and suddenly said: "Go and ask Magistrate Chen to find them."
Although I don’t know who Boss Jiang is and what his relationship with King Rong is, but...
What she did in Huai'an Mansion must be stopped immediately!
The governor's eyes became extremely sharp at this moment.
-
"Your Majesty, we are a little late. Boss Jiang just left in a car an hour ago. But because there are few people nearby, we are not sure which direction she went."
The guard who replied was kneeling on the ground and did not dare to raise his head, for fear of accidentally angering the prince and killing him on the spot.
But even so, with a low and mute sound of "trash", a long sword with a cold light fell in front of him.
It’s over, you’re dead this time!
The guard closed his eyes in resignation, not daring to beg for mercy.
"If you can't find her here, can't you go back and wait? It's not like you don't know where she lives!"
Cui Shuwang roared with all his inner strength. After roaring, he felt his voice was hoarse.
At this moment, the tip of the sword was just a little bit away from the guard's neck...
-
"Master, what's wrong, there are people searching for you everywhere in Huai'an City! There are even people from the government."
"What?"
Jiang Tang turned around, his fair face filled with surprise: "Who is checking me?"
