Wen Qinzhu and Zhong An were sent to the Governor's Office, and the soldiers pushed and shoved them and took them into the gate.

"Bang"

When he heard the heavy sound of the door closing sound from behind, Wen Qinzhu and Zhong An's hearts jumped. The two stopped and looked at each other. Yun Liu immediately stepped forward and asked, "Why don't you leave?"

Wen Qinzhu asked with her hand shackled, "This man, I wonder which adult I will meet this time?"

At this point, Wen Qinzhu was still looking forward to Chen Xi negotiating with Guo Shaoheng, Zhang Yunming and others to resolve the matter peacefully, although they themselves knew that this possibility was not high.

Yun Liu looked bad: "I seem to have said before that the person who invited you is Governor Shen!"

Wen Qinzhu quickly asked, "Is there anything else... Shangguan?"

Yun Liu replied: "There are still General Su Jing, the commander of Huguang City, General Yang Su!"

Wen Qinzhu suddenly felt that the situation was hopeless and he was almost unable to stand firm. Zhong An held Wen Qinzhu with a hand and asked tremblingly: "Then Guo Zheng..."

Xier said impatiently: "Why are you asking endlessly? A conspiracy named Guo poisoned the imperial court officials. Now he has been arrested and questioned. The evidence has been sent to the Nisi Yamen. If you talk nonsense, don't blame me for discounting your legs!"

Xier is in a bad mood mainly because her good sister Yunliu has been favored by Chen Xi, and she is still a sympathetic daughter who is still a sympathetic girl.

Zhong An sighed to the sky: "During decades of glory in the Zhong family in Huguang, will it disappear? Guo Shaoheng, you are very harmful to others!"

"No noise!"

The officers and soldiers of the Governor's Office who were responsible for taking over the escort mission were not as easy to talk to than Yun Liu and Xier. They came up and captured the two of them and pushed them forward. Before they could move forward a few steps, they saw two people coming out of the lobby, but Chen Xi and Su Jingyang appeared.

Wen Qinzhu and Zhong An old eyes were blurred. It took a long time to see clearly that the person in front of him was the Governor Chen Xi, who was related to the life and death of the two families, and the commander Su Jingyang.

"Mr. Shen, you need to know clearly..."

Zhong An reacted first, knelt down and kowtowed continuously, "Caomin has never harmed the imperial court's official position. I really don't know why Lord Ma couldn't afford to get sick..."

Wen Qinzhu secretly hated Zhong An for taking the lead, and quickly knelt down and shouted for justice: "It's unfair, please be careful and give the people justice."

Chen Xi frowned slightly, but then squeezed out a smile: "Get up, two people, I am the governor of two provinces, governing one side, but I want to act diligently and really can't bear the word "clear and sensible". People come here, please ask the head of the Zhong family and Wen family to go to the lobby to talk, and I and Lord Su go out to do something, and after I come back, I will appreciate tea with the two, and sit down and discuss..."

Wen Qinzhu and Zhong An didn't quite understand the intention of Chen Xi saying this, but when they saw that Chen Xi didn't seem to be trying to deal with him, they didn't understand why, so they entered the lobby of the governor's yamen and waited anxiously.

After the officers and soldiers removed the shackles on the two of them and exited the lobby, Zhong An looked around and saw that there was no one else there. He hurriedly asked nervously: "Brother Wen, what do you think is going on? Could it be that Hu Fantai's case was discovered? The Governor already knows the inside story?"

Wen Qinzhu was relatively calm, but at this time he was also worried: "Mr. Shen led his troops to the vassal yamen to take it out in the afternoon. It is hard to guarantee that Hu Fantai died suddenly. Even if someone is dealing in the capital, the case will still not be suppressed... Could it be that the court sent Ma Fantai to thoroughly investigate the case?"

Zhong An paced back and forth, rubbed his hands and said, "What should I do now? What should I do? Is my two families have been doing for hundreds of years of foundation? Is it going to be ruined today?"

Wen Qinzhu comforted, "What are you afraid of? The two of us in Huguang are in a mixed relationship, which is enough to deal with today's affairs. It will affect our whole body with one move. Could it be that Governor Chen dares to kill me? Aren't he afraid that all the shops in Huguang will be shut down tomorrow? Let's take the soft spot later and see how the situation is... If you keep the green mountains there, don't you be afraid of no firewood!"

Zhong An muttered to himself, why did it be insignificant to kill the imperial officials in Wen Qinzhu's mind? What should I do if Lord Shen insisted on pursuing it? He immediately said, "Brother Wen hasn't heard that Lord Shen has killed a provincial vassal state in Fujian, and ordered countless officials to be dismissed and the heroes were granted the title of head?"

"After that, Lord Shen suppressed bandits in the southeast and killed countless thieves when using troops in the northwest. This is not comparable to ordinary civil servants. If he seizes the evidence and directly kills us, who can we go to reason with?"

Wen Qinzhu could still remain calm, but she heard this and said angrily: "Can you say a few nice words? If you are surprised by yours, you will be frightened to get it if you are not a problem!"

Both of them were very nervous. Soon, a large number of people were escorted from the Governor's Office. In addition to the men from the Wen family and the Zhong family, there were also the heads of other aristocratic families in the city and the shopkeepers in charge of shops. This time, the gentry in the city was really taken away by Chen Xi.

Zhong An looked out from the door of the lobby and muttered: "Why were almost all the people who attended the banquet welcoming Lord Shen that day arrested? Where did this be sung?"

Wen Qinzhu glanced at it and finally said annoyedly: "I can see that Lord Shen is looking at the people attending the reception banquet that day. We are just giving up the list of people. Looking at the posture, we clearly need to investigate it to the end!"

Just at this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Shen Zhongcheng returns to the yamen!"

The front yard of the governor's yamen was originally noisy and noisy, with shouts of injustice, howling, and crying. After this shout, it was silent.

When Chen Xi and Su Jingyang stepped into the gate of the Governor's Mansion, the patriarchs of various families detained in the yard came forward to plead with Chen Xi, but Chen Xi ignored it at all. Before anyone could approach Chen Xi, they were stopped by the officers and soldiers.

Su Jingyang sternly intimidated: "Who dares to take another step forward? Don't blame the sword for being eyeless!"

As the officers and soldiers at the scene pulled out the sword from their waists, the people present were frightened and many people even fell to the ground, and no one dared to come forward to disturb Chen Xi.

Chen Xi entered the yamen lobby by way of his way. Wen Qinzhu and Zhong An knew that Chen Xi's trip should be a showdown, so they quickly sorted out their clothes and went forward to salute.

"No need to be polite. I went out and walked away to find out the case. I happened to meet the two of you when I came back. Please sit down!"

After Chen Xi said that, he walked straight to the desk in the center of the lobby. There was only a chair behind the desk in the huge room. Chen Xi went over and sat down, looking at the two of them, "Why not just sit?"

Wen Qinzhu and Zhong An were very embarrassed. Now even the commander of the second-rank Huguang can only stand and speak, and they both have no qualifications to sit down.

Besides, even if you can sit, you can only sit on the ground.

Wen Qinzhu plucked up the courage to ask, "Mr. Shen, you summoned the villain to come late at night, I don't know what's going on?"

When Huanghelou attended the reception banquet, Wen Qinzhu and Zhong An called themselves "old man" and "old man" in front of Shen Xi, while others called him "sir". Now that they knew that Chen Xi might be going to attack, their tone became obviously softer.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Nothing big, oh, I'll tell you in advance. Guo Shaoheng, the left-ranking political officer of the vassal yamen, was sentenced to the prison guard by the vassal yamen for corruption, bribery, and harming officials of the court. He will be escorted to the capital later, and the final judgment will be finalized by the vassal yamen... Thirty-two officials of the vassal yamen were also found for various crimes, and they will be sentenced to be exiled to the army at the very least... Let's talk about something else, how are the two doing business in recent years?"

Wen Qinzhu heard that the third-rank governor and many officials from the vassal yamen were convicted of Chen Xi within just one hour, and knew that there was no room for improvement in this matter. His legs and feet trembled constantly, and said in fear: "Sir, the villain doesn't understand what you mean..."

Chen Xidao: "What kind of adults and villains are you? In the eyes of many people, I am just a child with a yellow mouth. If you don't mind, you can just call me my name!"

"Don't dare!"

Wen Qinzhu was scared and sweated.

Chen Xi waved his hand: "It's all the gentry in Huguang. It's not the first time that I am a entrusted by this official. I actually know a lot about many things. I would rather offend the King of Hell than offend you gentry. The yamen is a soldier who is fighting for the iron, while the gentry has been passed down from generation to generation... Ha, I'm going far, I've asked you something, you haven't answered yet!"

Wen Qinzhu didn't want to reply at all, but Zhong An said first: "Go back to Lord Shen, business is not easy to do in recent years, and all the business of the Zhong family has suffered losses!"
