The palace steward glanced at Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan, signaling them to step aside. Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan immediately moved their steps, retreated to the side of the road, and cleared the road.

"Okay, let's get started!" the palace steward ordered calmly.

"Got the order!"

The leader of the generals immediately ordered all the generals to take action. With just one blow, they used their iron guns to break open the vermilion door, and then poured into the house...

"Dong Canjun?" The palace steward turned slightly to one side.

"Butler!" Dong Cheng hurriedly agreed with his hands.

"Dong Canjun, aren't you worried about raising food for disaster relief? Haha, there is enough food in this house. If Dong Canjun hasn't summoned people to transport food quickly, when will we wait?"

Dong Cheng was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately and said in surprise: "I understand, I understand!"

Dong Cheng, who was high-spirited, immediately summoned his long entourage to follow him, and gave instructions on gathering manpower and transporting food.

At this time, Zhu Xiuyuan also understood the intention of the palace steward. He glanced at Dong Cheng, who was walking with a wind, and then stared at the palace steward: "Butler, who's house is... here?"

The palace steward pursed his lips and smiled, and did not answer Zhu Xiuyuan's question. He only said: "Master Zhu, don't worry. You can take the food in this house and keep it without any problem. Come on, follow me in for a walk."

."

The palace steward said that he should first step through the gate of the mansion.

Zhu Xiuyuan frowned and glanced at the plaque hanging above the door. His eyes lingered on the two gilded characters "Fangzhai" for a moment, and then he quickly followed the steps of the palace steward and stepped inside.

…

At the same time, Jiangzhou Yamen.

On the corridor in front of the Yamen gate.

Jiangzhou Governor Shi Hua Chaoshi and Jiangzhou Sima Wanqian walked together. They walked slowly towards the gate of the Yamen.

Both of them were silent, frowning, each thinking about their own thoughts.

The scene that just happened in the back hall of the Yamen was a mixed blessing for Hua Chaoshi and Wan Qian.

Fortunately, the governor withstood the pressure from the Poyang Palace and did not open the official warehouse to release grain. Although Hua Chaoshi was puzzled, why did Fangtang act like this? But the final result was beneficial to them.

of.

What worries me is that the Governor has offended the Poyang Palace. I wonder if they will be implicated when the Poyang Palace settles their accounts...

"Lord Chang Shi, look at this..." Wan Qian suddenly stopped and faced Hua Chaoshi.

Wan Qian was not as smart as Hua Chaoshi, so he finally couldn't help but ask questions.

"Shh!" Hua Chaoshi made a silent gesture and whispered: "This is not a place for conversation. Mr. Wan, please go back to your residence first, and then come to my residence in casual clothes."

"I understand, I understand." Wan Qian nodded repeatedly.

Then the two of them walked slowly towards the Yamen gate.

But at this moment, the two of them suddenly heard a voice coming from behind: "Sir...slow down...sir..."

The sound went from far to near, from quiet to loud, intermittently. It was obvious that the man was shouting and running at the same time.

Hua Chaoshi and Wan Qian paused and looked back, only to see the governor Fang Tang running wildly towards their direction.

Fangtang ran too fast, as if there was a dog chasing him behind him.

Hua Chaoshi and Wan Qian were stunned for a moment, and finally they both handed over their hands. Hua Chaoshi said: "My lord, I wonder why you are so eager to pursue this official..."

Before Hua Chaoshi said the last word "thing" in his words, Fangtang had already passed Hua Chaoshi and Wan Qian, and rushed out of the Yamen gate as if he didn't see them!

Hua Chaoshi and Wan Qian looked at each other, and then looked at the gate of the Yamen.

"Sir...wait..."

While Hua Chaoshi and Wan Qian were stunned, the man who was chasing Fangtang shouting from behind finally ran over. He glanced at the two of them, and before he had time to speak, he rushed out of the Yamen gate, screaming all the way.

"Master Chang Shi, what is this, Master Governor?" Wan Qian asked in confusion.

"There's something weird. Let's follow and see clearly. Let's go!"

"Lord Changshi, please wait for me..."

…

"Hurry, hurry, catch up!"

On the street, Hua Chaoshi sat on a carriage and opened the curtain. The driver was urging him from behind.

"Okay, okay, sir, sit still..."

The coachman did not dare to neglect and used all his strength to catch up with the carriage in front of him, for fear of losing him.

The carriage in front was naturally Fangtang's carriage. As soon as he came out of the Yamen, Hua Chaoshi followed him all the way.

Behind Hua Chaoshi is Wan Qian's carriage...

Three carriages were driving rampantly on the street. Although it was raining heavily, there were still pedestrians on the street. The carriages passed by, causing a splash of water and eliciting a burst of curses...

After tracking for a certain distance, Hua Chaoshi looked around and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

This direction, as well as the surrounding streets and shops, look familiar. Isn't this the way to go to that place?

"Strange, how could the governor rush to that place in such a hurry? Could it be... follow him quickly!"

"It's my lord!"

After tracking for some distance, Hua Chaoshi had confirmed that Fangtang was going to that place!

How could he...

Hua Chaoshi was full of doubts and couldn't help but follow along.

Wan Qian, who was following at the back, was almost stunned. That place... the Governor and the Chief... why did they go there like this? They were so... so careless!

At least we should wait until the dead of night, then dress up properly and make adequate arrangements...

Wan Qian was frightened and deliberately ordered the coachman to drive away from here, but seeing that Master Chang Shi did not escape, Wan Qian followed him.

After a while of turbulence.

Wan Qian was the last one to arrive. When the carriage stopped, he immediately opened the curtain and looked outside...

I saw that this "familiar old place" was no longer hidden, and hundreds of state soldiers were busy. They carried sacks on their shoulders, wrapped in oilcloth and waterproof, and kept shuttling through the gate of the house.

The street directly opposite the gate of the house was filled with many horse-drawn carriages with awnings.

The carriage was already piled with sack after sack of things. Although there were a lot of things piled up, the state soldiers were not too many and were still piling them on top like ants moving.

As soon as one was piled up, the carriage drove away immediately...

So endless.

At the gate of the house, two soldiers in shining armor were guarding, holding iron guns... These were the generals of the Poyang Palace, and Wan Qian recognized them at a glance.

"Hiss!" Wan Qian's hands and feet went limp, he sat back, put down the curtain, and patted his chest to inhale the cold air.

He seemed to understand something, but he seemed to understand nothing.
Chapter completed!
