Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 157 Fox
Zhu Xiuyuan is one of the few people who knows what Dong Cheng's ultimate goal is.

However, after so many days, there was still no movement outside the entire disaster area. Zhu Xiuyuan was afraid that Dong Cheng's plan would eventually fail.

"Father-in-law, how long can our 'deception' last?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked.

"My dear son-in-law, you can rest assured on this. The Governor will definitely not come out so soon." Dong Cheng looked back and looked at Zhu Xiuyuan and said.

"Oh, why is this? As time goes by, they will eventually notice the clues, right?" Zhu Xiuyuan was surprised.

"My dear son-in-law, tell me, half a month ago, the governor and others hid in the back house of the Yamen. What was their purpose?" Dong Cheng asked with a smile.

"Because they are selfish, because they are afraid of death!" Zhu Xiuyuan didn't even think about it.

"That's right, since they are afraid of death and selfish, they won't take the initiative to come out before someone from the outside world comes." Dong Cheng's face brightened with a smile.

"But father-in-law, in our entire plan, people from outside the disaster area have also been taken into account. So what if outsiders can't control the Governor and the others?"

Zhu Xiuyuan asked again. This was a question that worried him very much.

"It depends on man and God's will. If the rank of the outsiders is high enough, we will expose the matter and take down the Governor and the others in one fell swoop! If the rank of the outsiders is not high enough, then we will tolerate it for the time being! "

The smile on Dong Cheng's face faded, looking a little helpless.

"Hey, father-in-law, if we can't bring down the governor and them this time, my son-in-law is really unwilling to accept it! As the governor of a state, they don't want to protect the people of a state. Instead, they set up many obstacles when we are providing disaster relief. Obstacles! Food shortage crisis, medicine shortage crisis, etc., we have not exhausted all our efforts before we can solve it..."

Zhu Xiuyuan looked unwilling and frowned.

"If outsiders come in and can't control the governors, they might even take away most of our contribution to disaster relief and resisting the plague! My father-in-law and my son-in-law are really unwilling to accept this!"

Dong Cheng patted Zhu Xiuyuan's shoulder, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"My son-in-law, there is no smooth sailing in this life. It depends on human effort. We have already done what we can, and then we will depend on God's will!"

Zhu Xiuyuan was taken aback when he heard the words, although he felt unwilling, he had no choice but to give up.

But Zhu Xiuyuan's resignation was only temporary.

In a blink of an eye, he had already thought of a way to deal with it——

That is to ask Poyang King for help!

I believe that the palace steward can vouch for this, but Zhu Xiuyuan doesn't believe that he can kill Master Ci and the others.

At this moment, a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd two feet away from them.

"What's going on?" Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng walked over immediately.

"Sir, a general from the royal family said that he has something important to report, and he has already brought it." A state soldier came to pay his respects.

The two of them looked back and saw that there was indeed a royal general wearing a silver helmet.

Dong Cheng thought that when this family member came to see him, it was because the palace steward had something to say to him.

"What's the steward's order?" Dong Cheng waved his hand and asked.

"Sir, it was not the steward who ordered his subordinates to come here, but the prince. The prince ordered his subordinates to ask to see the governor of Jiangzhou." The general was slightly startled, and then said with his hands.

Everyone was even more stunned when they heard this, Prince?

What prince?
Do you still want to see the governor of Jiangzhou?
In the whole Jiangzhou city, who doesn't know that the governor of Jiangzhou has become a tortoise and is still huddled in the back house of the Yamen.

Throughout the entire fight against the plague, the governor never came out!

"Sir, he came from outside. King Poyang is back!" Seeing everyone's confusion, the soldier from the state hurriedly explained.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng were both stunned.The news came a bit suddenly.

But they were secretly happy at the same time.

If the outsider is the King of Poyang, then their chances of overthrowing the governor will be even greater.

"Sir, I would like to see the governor of Jiangzhou!"

When everyone was stunned, the general of the palace family said again.

"The governor said he was ill at home. At present, I am the one who decides on the affairs in the city. Please tell me why the King of Poyang sent you here?" Dong Cheng reacted immediately.

"My lord, the palace has ordered us to be prepared to welcome you. Your Majesty, as well as the 'Jiangnan West Road Observation and Disposal Envoy' appointed by the imperial court, will be arriving soon. Please be prepared!"

The general of the royal family had no doubt that he was there, and said with a cup of his hand.

"What!" Dong Cheng was shocked: "You mean the 'Jiangnan West Road Observation and Disposal Envoy'?"

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment and looked at Dong Cheng strangely, thinking, is this official very big?

"Yes, sir!" the royal family general replied.

"Then do you know who this 'Jiangnan West Road Observation and Disposal Envoy' is?" Dong Cheng asked again.

"Sir, the 'Jiangnan West Road Observation and Disposal Envoy' appointed by the imperial court this time is Yang Tingyu, the current crown prince and the doctor of Yushitai!" the palace steward answered truthfully.

"Hiss!" Dong Cheng took a breath and muttered to himself: "It turns out it's him..."

Zhu Xiuyuan stood aside, watching Dong Cheng's various surprises, which made him even more confused.

In fact, Zhu Xiuyuan knew nothing about the officialdom of Chen State, especially the officials of the imperial court. He had no idea how terrifying the power of the official position of "Observation and Disposal Envoy" was!
The rest of the people present, such as Yan Dashan, Dong Cheng's long followers, and the state soldiers who protected Dong Cheng and the others, all knew more than Zhu Xiuyuan in this regard.

At this time, they all opened their mouths and looked at each other.

The imperial court finally sent someone here!
And he is also the "Jiangnan West Road Observation and Disposal Envoy"!
For officials in local prefectures and counties, an official like an "observation and disposal envoy" is actually more like a "local emperor."

He can appoint and remove officials of all sizes in a state!

All we need to do is report back to His Majesty the Emperor and explain the situation.

The power is terrifying!
This is "hunting on behalf of the sky".

For the low-level people like them, it is an exciting thing to have a high-ranking official arrive.

Just like in modern times, if a super official suddenly comes to visit a certain village, town or company, the local people and managers will definitely be very energetic...

This is a truth.

In fact, they still had a vague expectation in their hearts, wanting to see the demeanor of the "Jiangnan West Road Observation and Disposal Envoy".

Because this official has too much power.

Normally not set.

So usually you can't see it.

Only when a rare natural or man-made disaster like Jiangzhou occurs, the imperial court will temporarily set up this official...

"I know it. Go back and tell the prince that I will make all preparations!"

After Dong Cheng was shocked, he immediately gave instructions to the royal family general.
