Zhuge Yu didn't understand, so he scratched his disheveled head and said, "Tang Chengan is the Sima of the state, so he is naturally the governor of Wang Zhe. Do you still need to ask?"

"Master, are you too tired? Why are you talking nonsense?"

"We have to go to Black Wind Ridge tomorrow, so you'd better go to bed early. I'm also looking for a place to sleep."

As he spoke, he raised his buttocks, making a screeching sound as the chair dragged on the ground, and was about to walk out.

Jiang Mingyu panicked. He hurriedly jumped up from his chair. Seeing Zhuge Yu's back had already stepped out of the threshold, he shouted loudly: "Wait a minute, that's not what I meant!"

Zhuge Yu, who had already taken a step, tilted his head and looked back at him, his eyes full of confusion, like a lost puppy.

Jiang Mingyu rushed to him in three steps at a time and explained anxiously: "What I mean is, does Tang Chengan have any backers in the capital?"

"You have been in Asmodeus for a long time, so you must know it very well. Please tell me about it quickly."

Zhuge Yu suddenly realized, nodded and said: "So this is what you are talking about. Tang Chengan is Tu Xiang's disciple. What's wrong?"

Hearing this, Jiang Mingyu's eyes suddenly darkened and his face turned pale, as if he had been punched. He stared into Zhuge Yu's eyes and repeated word by word: "Is everything you said true?"

"

Zhuge Yu blinked his big eyes in confusion and nodded hesitantly: "Yes, who in Asmodeus doesn't know about this?"

"Master, what's wrong with your expression? Are you okay?" Zhuge Yu held Jiang Mingyu's hand with concern.

Jiang Mingyu's expression was extremely ugly, as if someone had stepped on him several times. He suppressed his emotions and said, "The thing I was most worried about has indeed happened."

Tang Chengan is a member of the Rabbit Prime Minister, so he must have gone to Shang Mu to secretly check on his current situation under the Rabbit Prime Minister's order.

Now, all the movements of Shang Mu are secretly watched by Tang Chengan. He will definitely return to the capital as soon as possible and report to the Prime Minister in detail.

Jiang Mingyu looked confused, staring blankly at the bright moonlight in the night sky, thinking endlessly about countermeasures. His frowning brows were like a knot, the wrinkles on his forehead were deeply sunken, and his lips were pressed into a straight line.

Although he has no deep grudge against Rabbit Xiang, he has an inextricable relationship with He Xiang. This is a well-known fact. What's more, Rabbit Xiang has always had a close relationship with King Qi. If Rabbit Xiang knows that he has been in Shang Mu recently,

He would definitely inform the King of Qi about his aggressive recruitment of troops and horses as soon as possible, allowing the King of Qi to attack him.

By then, countless open and hidden arrows will be directed at me. At that time, how should I deal with this sudden danger? Waves of regret and self-blame flooded Jiang Mingyu's heart.

What's even more terrible is that I have only completed one-third of my mission of suppressing the bandits. If I put down my butcher knife and hurried back to Shangmu to make preparations to deal with Tu Xiang, how should I explain to the people and the city defense sergeants?

Jiang Mingyu paced back and forth anxiously in the village, mumbling to himself, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the empty village. His expression became more and more confused, and his brows furrowed more and more tightly.

What should I do? What should I do? Jiang Mingyu fell into a huge dilemma and pain. The entire village fell silent, and everyone held their breath, waiting quietly for his decision.

…

When Jiang Mingyu was dividing his troops into four groups and preparing to attack Sanqing Mountain, Tang Chengan's carriage also entered the city.

Although Tang Chengan had been running non-stop all night, there was still an excited smile on his delicate face: "We are finally here!"

Every time he thought that he would soon get his wish to capture Wang Zhe, and help the Rabbit Prime Minister completely defeat the Crane Prime Minister, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep at all last night. But in his peach blossom eyes full of smiles,

There was also a hint of viciousness and ferocity: "In addition to Wang Zhe and He Xiang, that damn Jiang Mingyu will also die."

"How dare you force me to kneel down to him? It's absolutely hateful. Just wait, Jiang Mingyu, you will definitely pay a heavy price for this."

After returning to his home, Tang Chengan didn't bother to wash up or eat, so he directly grabbed a brush and wrote down everything he saw and heard in Shang Mu. His handwriting was scrawled, the brush strokes were fast, and the ink smeared on the rice paper.

It fully showed his inexplicable excitement.

After he finished writing, he immediately summoned a confidant and told him in a low voice: "Send this letter to the capital as soon as possible. It must be delivered to the Prime Minister in person. It is a serious matter, so you must be careful and make sure there are no mistakes!"

Just before the servant could take the letter, someone outside the door suddenly shouted: "The governor is here!"

How could Wang Zhe suddenly appear here at this juncture? Tang Chengan was suddenly startled, and the confidential letter in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

He hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but at this moment, a rough hand slowly picked up the letter one step ahead of him.

The owner of that hand was none other than the governor Wang Zhe who strode through the door.

Wang Zhe squinted his eyes and saw clearly the four eye-catching characters "Rabbit Blind Date" written on the envelope. His pupils trembled and he asked in a deep voice: "Tang Sima, what is this?!"

Ever since he learned that Tang Cheng'an secretly went to Shang Mu, Wang Zhe in the governor's office was restless and worried day and night.

He had always believed that the purpose of Tang Chengan's trip was to investigate the scandal of Jiang Mingyu's one hundred thousand taels of silver ordered by Prime Minister Tu. Once Tang Chengan brought the evidence back to Prime Minister Tu, his official position as governor would be

It can't be saved.

Therefore, when Wang Zhe saw the letter with his own eyes, his pupils shrank suddenly, his hands trembled slightly, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back. The shock and fear in his heart swept over like a stormy wave, causing his face to turn pale instantly.

Very white.

Huang Chaoran never dreamed that his plan to retaliate against Jiang Mingyu that day would unknowingly involve Wang Zhe and Tang Chengan.

Tang Chengan had no expression on his face, looking Wang Zhe up and down with a scrutinizing eye, and said in a cold tone: "Lord Governor, I wonder what kind of wind brought you here?"

There was strong boredom and impatience in his tone, and there was a vague look of disdain and contempt in his eyes.

Wang Zhe squeezed the letter in his hand, stared into Tang Chengan's eyes, and said word by word: "I heard that you left the city without permission a few days ago to travel to Shangmu. Is this possible?"

"It's really unreasonable for a Sima of the state capital to leave his post without permission, isn't it?"

Facing this old enemy, Tang Chengan had already felt strong hostility and vigilance. His heart tightened. Could it be that this matter spread so fast? Jiang Mingyu had already told Wang Zhe about his visit to Shang Mu.

?Many people saw his appearance in Shangmu County Yamen at that time. If Jiang Mingyu was really the one who informed him, then there would be no point in hiding it.

So Tang Chengan tried his best to put on a humble and respectful smile, and said dryly: "The governor's information is really well-informed."

"As a commander of a county, I saw that there was no need to worry about the affairs in the city, so I decided to go to Shang Mu to investigate."

"This is also to relieve the governor's worries and help you share some official duties. I just left in a hurry and didn't have time to report. Please forgive me."

Wang Zhe also pretended to be humble and respectful, stroking his chest and bending his waist and said: "Master Tang is not afraid of the wind and snow, and is diligent in his official duties. We admire him very much."

"It seems to me that Mr. Tang has gained a lot from this trip."

He squeezed the letter in his hand tightly, shook it vigorously, changed the topic, and his eyes flashed: "I wonder what kind of important political matter Mr. Tang discovered during this trip, and he actually needs to report it to Prime Minister Rabbit in person?"

Tang Chengan's head tightened suddenly, and he thought to himself that Wang Zhe could not let Wang Zhe know the content of the letter no matter what. Otherwise, if time was delayed, the old fox might take advantage of the fact that the rabbit prime minister had not replied to the letter and get rid of him first.

He quickly put on a humble and respectful smile and said in a soft tone: "Master Governor, you are joking. Master Jiang is young and promising, and he has managed Shang Mu in an orderly manner. The lower officials admire him very much."

"You also know that I am a disciple of the Rabbit Prime Minister. This is just an ordinary greeting. Your Excellency is really overly concerned."

The corner of Wang Zhe's mouth twitched, and he pretended to be calm and said: "So, I am very pleased that master and servant have a deep love. In this case, I will also sign this letter as a gift to the old man Tu Xiang."

Respect."

"Master Tang, you and I are both high-ranking officials in the court. You shouldn't refuse this kind offer, right?"

Wang Zhe thought to himself, no matter how smooth and cunning you are, I must see the contents of the letter with my own eyes today, and I will never give you a chance to hide it!

Seeing that Wang Zhe still refused to give up, Tang Chengan's face became increasingly ugly: "Sir, this..."

Wang Zhe immediately pretended to be displeased and said: "Master Tang, this is my intention towards the Rabbit Prime Minister. What is your purpose of delaying it like this? If the He Prime Minister knows about this, I'm afraid he won't be happy either, right?"

"

Seeing that he even used the crane to suppress people, Tang Chengan's face turned pale: "You..."

He wanted to slap himself twice, but why was he so confused that he made up such a lame excuse?

But Wang Zhe didn't give him a chance to explain. He sneered and tore open the envelope roughly.

Unfolding the letter, Wang Zhecai scanned two lines, and the previous panic in his heart suddenly turned into raging anger.

His face was as gloomy as an old rag that had not been washed for fifty years, and his facial features were twisted together like an evil ghost.

Wang Zhe gritted his teeth and wished he could eat Tang Chengan alive: "Okay, Mr. Tang, I really underestimate you."
