Chapter 54: When we meet again, it’s Han Yu’s birthday!
"What?!"
"This week, the governor dared to order an outflank of my Sima Mansion. Where did he get the courage?"
Hearing what the servant said, Wu Sima was suddenly startled and stood up from the rocking chair, saying in disbelief.
He is also a Sima of the same state, with an official position of fifth rank.
Although it is a sinecure, if you want to take him down, you must have a decree from the imperial court.
Wu Sima looked out and saw Captain Xia from Zhechong Mansion, leading a group of palace guards wearing armor and holding sharp knives, charging in...
Seeing this situation, Wu Sima panicked for no reason.
He lowered his face and saw Captain Xia leading his cronies forward, forcing himself to calmly ask:
"Captain Xia, what do you mean?"
"I surrounded this Sima Mansion for no reason. Do you have any instructions?"
Captain Xia glanced sideways at Wu Sima and snorted:
"Hmph! How could I have come in without the handwriting?"
"This is the approval document from the Governor. Why don't Mr. Wu take a look at it?"
After saying that, he casually threw the approval document stamped with the imperial seal of the governor at his face.
Even though Wu Sima felt unhappy about Captain Xia's rudeness.
But in such a situation, it is not the time to get angry.
He hurriedly took the approval document and felt angry.
Let’s see what kind of crime the governor has committed for himself this week?
But the words that caught his eye immediately stunned Wu Sima.
"Qizhou Sima Wu Heng, who was in his position, was immoral and incompetent, and his body was lying on a bare table. He colluded with demons and caused trouble in Qizhou. It is really a heinous crime!"
I saw that Governor Zhou had put such a big label on himself.
Wu Sima suddenly shivered. Although the sun was shining brightly at this moment, he was so cold that he shivered.
Colluding with the devil?
Who is the monster?
Could it be Xian Gu and others?
Thinking of this, Wu Sima felt dizzy and short of breath.
Thinking about the past scenes with Fairy Hu, he suddenly felt his stomach churn and almost vomited!
Wu Sima didn't know whether he was shocked or frightened at this moment. His mouth was trembling and he forced himself to say:
"This... this officer, when did you collude with the demon?"
"Captain Xia, the governor this week is deliberately trying to harm me!"
"You can't fall into Governor Zhou's trap!"
Hearing this, Lieutenant Xia shook his head, with an indifferent expression on his face, and spoke without hesitation:
"How can I know whether Mr. Wu has been associated with demons or not?"
"You should defend these words in front of the governor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly became stern:
"Come here, search the entire Sima Mansion inside and out. If you encounter any suspicious objects, take them away directly!"
As soon as these words came out.
The guards behind him responded heavily:
"Yes, sir!"
Then, they saw this group of people rushing directly into the courtyard, living room, bedrooms and other places of Sima Mansion, searching every room. The servants and maids were shocked and screamed.
Suddenly, this Sima Mansion was in a state of chaos.
Seeing this scene, Wu Sima knew it was over. His face was ashen, his legs were weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
In the end, we could only let the guards carry him away.
……
After Nawu Sima was brought back to the governor's house, he was directly imprisoned.
A lot of things were found from his house.
For example, the correspondence with Mr. Zhu, and the account books for accepting bribes behind the scenes. In addition, there are some miraculous medicines and weird gadgets that he asked for from Mrs. Hu.
As soon as Wu Sima entered the prison, he saw many familiar people.
When everyone saw Wu Sima coming, they all looked resentful.
If it weren't for his instigation, how could everyone be in jail?
Wu Sima doesn't feel guilty about this.
He even had a glimmer of luck.
I hope that Master Zhu, who is far away in Chang'an, can take me away.
Until he met the retainer in prison, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave and was in mourning.
……
Wu Sima fell.
Less than a day after he was taken away by people from Zhechong Mansion, the incident spread throughout Fengxiang Mansion.
Wu Sima is a fifth-rank official in the imperial court. Although he has no actual position, he is still a fifth-rank official!
And he was a Beijing official before!
Following his fall, there were more rumors throughout Qizhou.
Some people say that the governor of Zhou Dynasty did not get along with Wu Sima, and the former sent him to prison for an unfounded crime.
Some people also say that Wu Sima colluded with demons to cause trouble in Qizhou.
Not long ago, the haunting in Dongmo Alley was inseparable from him.
Although there are many rumors about these two kinds of rumors in the market, most people are more willing to believe the second one.
After all, people in Qizhou, from governors to traders and foot soldiers, all knew that Sima Wu had close contacts with Hu Xiangu and others.
Even Hu Xiangu and others lived in Sima Mansion.
But after this incident, Hu Xiangu and others disappeared.
It's like the world has evaporated.
When a thoughtful person thinks about it carefully, he suddenly feels horrified and has a chill running down his spine.
In any case, Governor Zhou would not explain to the public the fact that Wu Sima had colluded with the demon.
Since ancient times, things about evil spirits and ghosts have been the easiest to confuse people's hearts and cause commotion.
On the contrary, taking advantage of this moment when everything was at risk, the governor of Zhou carried out drastic reforms in Qizhou!
After a while, it was quite effective.
Regarding Wu Sima, Han Xiangzi knew that his end was certain death!
Even if he doesn't die, the King of Hell will not let him live.
Colluding with demons and bringing disaster to a state, the loss of moral integrity is too great!
As for those who respond to the county magistrate, they cannot escape legal accountability!
At worst, you will end up on the guillotine; at worst, you will be exiled to a bitter cold place and fend for yourself!
Han Xiangzi stayed in the Governor's Mansion for half a month. Seeing that Qizhou was peaceful again under the governance of Zhou Governor, he felt a little more relieved.
At this point, Han Xiangzi knew that his trip to Qizhou was about to end.
Ever since.
On this day, he came to the front of the hall, found the governor of Zhou, and said goodbye to him.
Knowing that Han Xiangzi was leaving, Governor Zhou felt quite sad.
These days, if it weren't for the help of the immortal master, it would be almost impossible for Qizhou to calm down in a short time based on his ability alone.
"Master Immortal, before you leave, can you please leave a treasure seal?"
Governor Zhou stood outside the door, saying goodbye to Han Xiangzi and asked.
"Master Governor, you and I are destined to meet again in Chang'an."
Hearing this, Han Xiangzi was slightly startled, then turned around and smiled leisurely.
After saying this, Han Xiangzi no longer hesitated, left the governor's office and walked towards the city gate.
"Goodbye Chang'an?"
The other side.
Governor Zhou was still chewing on these words over and over, wondering what the mystery behind the immortal master’s words was?
Little did he know that Han Xiangzi had already made a divination for him.
Within three years, the governor of Zhou will be transferred to Chang'an.
At that time, his great-uncle Han Yu’s birthday was not far away.
During these days, Han Xiangzi spent time with him, and he also knew that the governor of Zhou had always regarded Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, Di Renjie, Bai Juyi and other Qingliu as role models.
I would like to ask Han Yu’s birthday, why won’t the governor not go this week?
And he himself wants to go.
In this way, there is no need for the two of them to worry about never meeting again.
