"The governor has ordered that all of you dismount and walk to the Zhangjia Village lobby immediately without delay!"

Outside Zhangjia Village, the sentry faced the officials in front of him and spoke loudly.

Hearing this, the officials in blue robes looked at each other in bewilderment.

They set out from Ningdu city before it got dark in the afternoon and traveled all the way, which took them several hours.

After finally arriving at Zhangjia Village, the new governor actually asked them to dismount and walk?

"Since we have already arrived at Zhangjia Village, why do you still want us to walk?"

One of the officials could no longer suppress his anger and questioned the person on the spot.

Seeing this, the others also echoed.

"That's right, what exactly does the Governor mean? Why do you want to torture us?"

"We have come all this way, and it would be fine if the governor did not understand our difficulties, but now he is deliberately making things difficult for us, which is too much!"

"Soldiers in front, please clear the way! We need to see the governor right away!"

"..."

For a moment, there was a lot of chatter outside the village entrance.

A group of officials looked angry and clamored to ask the governor for an explanation.

However, although they were angry, no one doubted whether the governor was really there.

After all, it was the Governor-General Kohe who personally conveyed the Governor's order.

However, the officials' clamor did not last long. As a burly figure holding a spear appeared from the gate of the village, all the officials quickly fell silent.

"presumptuous!"

Chong Heihu roared loudly and swept his cold eyes over the officials of Ningdu City.

"Since the governor has issued an order, please dismount immediately! Otherwise, I will kill you mercilessly!"

As Chong Heihu spoke, he swung the spear in his hand, causing a sound of breaking through the air!

Where had the officials in Ningdu City ever seen such a scene?

Feeling the extremely strong evil aura from Chong Heihu, all the officials were frightened and no one dared to complain.

In the end, although the officials were extremely angry, they had to get off the carriage, and some of them got off their horses.

"My Lords, please."

Chong Heihu swung his spear again, and the soldiers behind him quickly made way for him, making a gesture of welcoming people into the village.

"Who are you, General?"

At this time, among the blue-robed officials, a fourth-rank official took the initiative to speak and greet Chong Heihu.

"I am Chong Heihu, the newly appointed governor of Zhejiang and Southern Zhili, and a general under Lord Xia Yun."

Chong Heihu's expression remained cold.

When the officials present heard Chong Heihu's name, their faces changed.

Many of them also had a general understanding of what Xia Yun had done in the capital.

It is said that there was a general named Chong Heihu in the battle when Xia Yun and the two kings of the capital broke out!

"We will go and see the governor right away!"

The officials did not dare to stay any longer. They suppressed their dissatisfaction and hurried into the village.

Chong Heihu walked in front of everyone.

However, after the officials entered the village, Chong Heihu did not continue to urge them to speed up.

Not only that, Chong Heihu deliberately slowed down his pace.

In this way, all the officials could clearly see the horrific scene in Zhangjia Village.

Gradually, a group of officials also realized Chong Heihu's intention.

When they carefully observed the scenes on both sides of the road in Zhangjia Village, a look of pity flashed in their eyes.

After all, people are all made of flesh and blood.

For some officials who still retained some kindness in their hearts, the desolate and dilapidated state of Zhangjia Village did make them feel a little ashamed.

Finally, a cup of tea passed.

A group of blue-robed officials were brought by Chong Heihu to the open space where the ancestral hall was located.

The first thing that caught the eyes of these officials was the extremely solemn and murderous atmosphere at the scene. Hundreds of soldiers in red clothes and armor were fully armed to maintain order at the scene.

Another fifty or sixty soldiers wearing thin yamen uniforms were kneeling on the ground, and the leader was tied up all over.

Soon, a group of officials finally noticed Xia Yun, who was sitting on a royal chair.

Without him.

The bright red official robe Xia Yun was wearing was too eye-catching; it was the attire of a first-rank official!

However, at this moment, Zhang Quanzhong, who was tied up, let out a strange cry!

"My Lords, please save me!"

"This man disguised himself as the governor and deliberately deceived you. Please don't be fooled by him!"

Zhang Quanzhong didn't care, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.

Then Zhang Quanzhong struggled to get up from the ground and staggered towards a group of officials.

Seeing this, Xia Yun's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

I have to say that Zhang Quanzhong's courage is indeed excellent.

Until now, this guy still thinks that his identity as governor is fake.

So much so that when the officials from Ningdu City arrived, they felt like they had seen a savior.

"grown ups."

Zhao Xinlei looked at Zhang Quanzhong who was running farther and farther away, and immediately shifted his gaze to Xia Yun, with a questioning look in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yun just shook his head slightly, and a hint of amusement appeared on his face.

He wanted to see what actions the officials from Ningdu City would take at this moment.

as predicted.

When the officials saw Zhang Quanzhong, who was in an extremely embarrassed state, running towards them, a look of panic suddenly appeared on their faces.

Looking at this scene, anyone who is not a fool can understand what is going on.

It was obviously Zhang Quanzhong who angered the governor, which led to this situation. They didn't want to be dragged into this situation by Zhang Quanzhong!

As a result, an extremely strange scene happened at the scene.

When Zhang Quanzhong ran towards the officials, they all moved to the left and right, fearing that they would have anything to do with the plague god at this time.

Among them, only one young official walked quickly towards Xia Yun. When he was only ten meters away from Xia Yun, he clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully.

"Your humble servant Cheng Qing, a fifth-rank official at the Ningdu City Governor's Office, greets Lord Xia!"

The young man was extremely respectful in his words and actions.

"Have you seen Benfu?"

Looking at the young man who suddenly walked up to him, he raised his eyebrows slightly. He remembered that he seemed to have seen him somewhere.

But for a moment, he couldn't remember it.

"To reply to the Governor, when you were summoned to Beijing to report on your duties, I had the honor of meeting you in the lobby of the Ministry of Personnel. You were so busy that I don't think you remembered me."

The young official did not hesitate and responded immediately.

"I see."

Xia Yun nodded immediately. No wonder he felt that Cheng Qing looked familiar. Now that he thought about it, he had indeed seen this face in the lobby of the Ministry of Personnel.
