At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

After leaving the lobby of the governor's office, Gu He did not go directly back to the provincial governor's office.

He was dressed in casual clothes and appeared quietly on the most prosperous street in Ningdu City.

After walking on the street for just a few minutes, he finally walked into a mansion.

On the plaque of this mansion, two large characters are clearly engraved: Su Mansion.

"Gu He, how come you have time to come to my place today?"

In the lobby of the Su Mansion, an old man who looked to be in his fifties, picked up a bowl of tea and placed it in front of Gu He with a smile.

At this time, Gu He and the old man were sitting in the first seats on the left and right sides of the lobby respectively.

"Sir Su, the court has ordered you to come to the capital to report on your work. Why do you still want to stay here?"

Gu He sighed, with a look of reluctance and confusion in his eyes.

"Hehe, Gu He, what's wrong with you today? Why did you suddenly come to talk to me about this?"

The old man did not answer Gu He's question, but just laughed.

"Lord Su, Lord Xia Yun has entered Ningdu City as soon as possible. He has already abolished the official positions of nearly 20 officials. Yesterday, 15 of his colleagues were executed in Zhangjia Village."

"Lord Su, you should hurry to Beijing."

Another sigh came from Gu He's mouth, and his words were full of advice.

It was because the person sitting next to him at that time was none other than the former governor of Nanzhili, Su Chen!

"Gu He, do you think I am no match for him?"

The kind and gentle look on Su Chen's face disappeared, and was replaced by a gloomy look.

"Mr. Su, Lord Xia Yun is different from others. You must have heard about everything he did in Zhejiang. He is a man who does not care about the cost."

"Since he has arrived in Nanzhili, and he is following the order of His Majesty, why do you still want to be his enemy?"

"It is better to leave Nanzhili early and return to Jincheng. By then, Lord Xu and others will be in the capital, so you can be safe in case of any emergency."

Furukawa spoke one after another.

Over the past few years, Su Chen was not only his immediate superior, but also a teacher and friend to him.

If it weren't for Su Chen's appreciation back then, it would have been difficult for him to hold the official position he holds today.

"Gu He, are you trying to persuade me not to go against him?"

Su Chen's right hand, which was placed on the tea table, clenched into a fist unconsciously, and a look of unwillingness flashed in his pair of dark pupils.

"Mr. Su, Xia Yun's promotion to the Governor of Southern Zhili was His Majesty's intention. If you go against Xia Yun, you are going against His Majesty. Don't you really understand?"

Seeing Su Chen's firm attitude, Gu He felt even more reluctant.

He didn't want his teacher to die in Nanzhili.

"I have no intention of opposing Your Majesty. I was promoted by the late Emperor and have been operating in Nanzhili for so many years. Why should she ask me to leave Nanzhili just because of one word?"

"After all, she is just a little girl. If it weren't for the full support of the attic and others, she would not have been able to sit firmly on the throne!"

As Su Cheng spoke, he slammed the table with his right hand and his expression became excited.

"Mr. Su, be careful with your words!"

Gu He's expression changed suddenly. He didn't expect Su Chen to say such words.

If the words that Su Chen just said were spread by someone with ulterior motives.

Not to mention Xia Yun, I'm afraid His Majesty will issue an order immediately and send people to capture Su Chen and bring him back to the capital.

"Mr. Su, I have said all I can. Your Majesty is still Your Majesty. Lord Xia Yun will definitely make great achievements when he takes office in Nanzhili. It is better for you to leave early."

As another word of advice fell, Gu He slowly stood up and respectfully bowed to Su Chen with his hands clasped together.

"Mr. Su, I am leaving now."

After saying that, Gu He immediately walked towards the gate of the Su Mansion without even turning back.

In his heart, this was the last thing he could do for Su Chen.

……

On the brightly lit street, Xia Yun, accompanied by Xu Wan'er, Chong Heihu, and a large group of personal soldiers, appeared at the gate of the palace.

Given his status as governor of Zhejiang and Southern Zhili, there was no need for him to do so.

But the other party is the old tutor after all, and Xia Yun is also very curious about what kind of person Wang Dechang is.

"Please inform Master Wang that the new governor of Zhejiang and Southern Zhili, Xia Yun, has been invited to visit you."

A personal soldier stepped forward to report.

However, just as the personal soldier finished speaking, the two gates of the palace suddenly opened slowly.

A middle-aged man dressed as a butler walked out from among them.

"Who is the new governor of Zhejiang and Southern Zhili, Lord Xia Yunxia?"

The butler's eyes swept over the people outside the gate, and his words and actions revealed a hint of arrogance.

Seeing this scene, Chong Heihu's expression suddenly turned cold. His right hand unconsciously grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist, and at the same time he took a step forward.

"My master is here, why don't you come out to greet him!"

Chong Heihu spoke in a deep voice.

For Chong Heihu, if the middle-aged butler continued to speak rudely, he would not mind teaching him a lesson.

When the palace steward heard what Chong Heihu said, an expression of displeasure appeared on his face.

"This is the residence of the former Grand Tutor. You who are in the army are not allowed to make noise here."

The butler warned.

He thought that by mentioning the title of Grand Tutor, he would be able to make the other party fearful.

However, the scene that appeared next made his heart tremble suddenly.

"Why are there so many fickle rules? If you don't come out to greet me, I'll burn your place to the ground!"

Chong Heihu is not a gentleman.

As he spoke, he drew the knife from his waist and walked forward aggressively.

The group of personal soldiers following behind him also rushed forward at the first moment and surrounded the gate of the palace tightly.

The housekeeper was stunned by this scene.

Seeing Chong Heihu approaching with a knife, the butler subconsciously took a few steps back.

Just as Chong Heihu was about to put the long knife on the butler's neck, Xu Wan'er behind him finally spoke.

"Wait a minute and do it."

Xu Wan'er's words reached Chong Heihu's ears, and Chong Heihu immediately stopped and stared at the butler with his eyes wide open like an evil god.

"Everyone, please come in quickly."

The butler finally put away his airs, no longer showing any trace of arrogance on his face, and quickly extended his hand as an invitation.

"That's pretty much it."

Chong Heihu snorted coldly and immediately put the long sword back into the sheath.

After a while, at the housekeeper's careful invitation, Xia Yun and his party finally entered the palace.

And soon appeared outside the lobby of the palace.

"Lord Xia is here for the first time in Ningdu. I am sorry that I failed to welcome you from afar. I hope Lord Xia will forgive me."

As Xia Yun stepped into the lobby of the palace, he heard a vicissitudes and melodious voice.

Xia Yun took a closer look.

I saw an octogenarian with gray hair sitting at the first seat in the lobby.

"Your Excellency must be Wang Dechang, the old master Wang."

Xia Yun entered the lobby alone. Xu Wan'er, Chong Heihu and others all stopped at the lobby door.
