Wang Da took a deep breath, knelt down on the ground, and said excitedly: "Thank you so much, Lord Marquis, thank you so much for your cultivation, I will certainly live up to my expectations!"
Wang Da seems a bit dull. He is an honest man, but he still has some abilities. After a few days of observation, Du He found that this guy is very orderly and will not make mistakes. He was asked to serve as the secretary of Tongzhou, but it was again...
Couldn't be more appropriate.
Then, Du He stepped forward, came to the hungry people, and said loudly: "Everyone, I hereby promise that from today on, I will never let anyone go hungry. Everyone, please go back! This Tongzhou government office
The door is always open for you. No matter you have any problems, you can come to me to solve them..."
"Master Hou is a good man!"
"Woooo..."
The people were so excited that they cried, and finally helped each other and left.
Wang Daze followed Du He's instructions and quickly prepared for disaster relief.
Yuchi Gong was tremblingly helped to come to Du He and said: "My dear nephew, are you doing this too hastily? Before coming to Tongzhou, His Majesty came to me to spy on me and warned me that the Dou family was in Tongzhou."
The state tree has deep roots and has held back public opinion for many years. To solve the problem of the Dou family, we can only do it slowly and not in a hurry... If the Dou family jumps over the wall in a hurry, we are all in danger!"
Du He said with a smile: "Your Majesty is too concerned about his reputation, so he can't let go. He wants to kill people and build a memorial arch at the same time. I, Du He, can't do this kind of thing. If I want to kill people, I will show my sword. Obviously
Tell the world freely!"
"...But you have only been in Tongzhou for a few days. First you captured Zhang Dana, then Jiang Niu, and now Fangzhou. I'm afraid that the officials in Tongzhou will be panicked and mutiny will happen!" Yu Chigong said worriedly!
.
Du He waved his hand carelessly: "Uncle Yuchi, every inch of time means every inch of gold. My roots are in Chang'an. There are tens of thousands of people in Dream Group waiting for me to support them. I can't stay in Tongzhou for just a few years. This matter, a
It must be resolved within a month!"
One... one month?
Yuchi Gong was so surprised that he opened his mouth wide.
At the beginning, he had finally managed to get one year from Li Er to deal with the Dou family. Who knew that Du He only planned to take one month?
He was dumbfounded and said: "My dear nephew, should we think twice before we act?"
Yuchi Gong found that in front of Du He, he was as docile as a sheep, which was not in line with his style at all.
Du He shook his head: "We must cut through the mess quickly!"
"But what should we do if the Dou family threatens public opinion?" Yu Chigong asked.
Du He smiled and said: "What I am doing now is to make the Dou family lose public opinion. The people of Tongzhou do not follow the Dou family. The reason why they do not cooperate with the government and stand on the side of the Dou family is because they are timid and worried.
After officials like Uncle Yuchi leave, the Dou family will take revenge wildly, so we must let them see hope and let them know that this time, I mean it!"
"So, you start with those hungry people?" Yuchi Gong immediately understood Du He's intention.
Du He nodded: "The hungry people who came here today have seen my determination. Although there are only a few hundred people, there is a great old man who said well, a single spark can start a prairie fire, let this fire burn even more
Be more violent!"
When Yuchi Gong heard this, his whole body trembled with excitement.
"Dry!"
After a long while, he held back a word.
That night, Yuchi Gong began to mobilize manpower, and the entire government office was built as solid as gold.
Yuchi Gong said to his personal guards: "No matter what happens, Du He must be sent out first. You don't have to worry about me."
Yuchi Gong knew that his strengths lay in arranging troops and fighting and killing people. He had tried but failed to win the hearts and minds of the people, so he should leave it to Du He.
What he wants to do is to protect Du He!
Du He must not be allowed to suffer any loss!
…
evening.
Zhang Jian walked into Du He's room and said, "Master, Tongzhou Governor Shi Yangcheng and Tongzhou Sitian Chen Hongyi want to see you!"
When Du He heard this, he was not curious at all. Instead, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He waved his hand and said, "Let them wait outside!"
A stick of incense.
Half an hour.
One hour.
A full two hours later.
A waxing moon hangs in the sky.
At the entrance of the courtyard, Yang Cheng and Chen Hongyi were so hungry that their chests were touching their backs. That didn't matter. The important thing was that Du He was cooking hot pot in the courtyard, and the smell wafted out, making their stomachs growl.
Chen Hongyi said helplessly: "Lord Chang Shi, let's go. Mr. Hou is always unpredictable in his work. I'm afraid he doesn't want to see us."
Yang Cheng shook his head: "Master Si Tian, I have a hunch that if we turn around and leave right now, I'm afraid we will never have a chance!"
"But……"
"Wait a little longer!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from the courtyard.
"Yang Changshi, Chen Sitian, come in and eat hot pot together!"
This is Du He's voice.
The two of them were immediately overjoyed.
Yang Cheng and Chen Hongyi came to the yard and saw a stove in the corner, and an iron pot on the stove was steaming.
The corners of their mouths suddenly drooled, but neither of them dared to move.
Plop.
Plop.
Yang Cheng and Chen Hongyi came to Du He and knelt down at the same time.
Yuchi Gong looked confused.
These two people are the most unconventional beings in the officialdom of Tongzhou. They don't even give him face as the governor, so why do they kneel down to Du He?
Du He asked with a smile: "What do you two mean by this?"
Yang Cheng hurriedly said: "Master Hou, we are here to apologize!"
"Oh? What are you guilty of? Are you taking bribes and perverting the law like Fang Zhouzi?"
Yang Cheng and Chen Hongyi looked at each other in fright and quickly shook their heads: "Master Hou is unjust. I have been an official for many years and have never been greedy for a penny."
"I am honest and upright, and heaven and earth can learn from it!"
The two hurriedly expressed their loyalty.
Yang Cheng said: "Master Hou, the two of us mistakenly believed that Master Hou and the Dou family were colluding, so we failed to cooperate with Master Hou, so we came here to apologize!"
Du He walked over with a smile and helped Yang Cheng and Cheng Hongyi up.
"You two have joined me and now want to capture Dou Xianren, what should you two do?" Du He asked.
Cheng Hongyi gritted his teeth and said: "I am willing to serve as a front-line soldier for Lord Marquis!"
Yang Chengdao: "Let the Marquis do whatever you want!"
Du He patted the two of them on the shoulders: "Okay, yes, it just so happens that I have something I want you two to do!"
"Please give me your orders, Lord Marquis!"
"Don't be in a hurry, come on. Come on, you're hungry. Let's eat some vegetables first. This is a hot pot made from ingredients I brought from Chang'an. You can't find it in the whole of Tongzhou!" Du He enthusiastically pulled the two of them to sit down.
.
After finishing the meal, Du He called Yang Cheng and Chen Hongyi to a quiet place and made some arrangements.
These two people have completely surrendered.
After leaving the Tongzhou government office, Yang Cheng and Chen Hongyi's backs were covered in cold sweat.
Chen Hongyi asked anxiously: "Lord Chang Shi, have we really decided? If we take this step, we will be completely opposite to the Dou family. Du He is the Marquis of Huyi County, and with the support of Prime Minister Du,
In the worst case, we will go back to Chang'an, but you and I are afraid that we will fall into a place of no return!"
