He sneered and raised the corners of his lips: "Master Governor, what you said is a bit serious. Jiang Mingyu secretly recruited an army, which was an evil plot and a heinous crime."

"As a Sima of a county, Xianguan is naturally responsible to the court. Xianguan asked himself what he did not do wrong?"

"As for you, sir, even if you don't know Jiang Mingyu's behavior, as the governor, I'm afraid you can't avoid the crime of oversight, right?" Tang Chengan's tone was arrogant, with determination in his eyes.

But what he didn't know was that while Wang Zhe's eyes were filled with anger, he was also secretly relieved. As long as Tang Chengan's letter to Tu Xiang didn't say that he had received one hundred thousand taels of silver from Jiang Mingyu, everything would be over.

Everything will be easier to handle.

Wang Zhe sneered, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes: "Tang Sima, if you want to bring down me based on this matter, you are making a big mistake."

Tang Chengan frowned in confusion: "What does this mean?"

"Right now, Jiang Mingyu's soldiers and horses are at the defense camp in Shangmu County. The official has witnessed it with his own eyes. Do you still want to deny it?" Tang Chengan raised his voice with impatience in his tone.

Wang Zhe, however, had a good time, looked into the other person's eyes, and asked jokingly: "How do you know that Mr. Jiang is recruiting troops privately?"

"In the past few days when you were away from Asmodeus, apart from Huang Chaoran being dismissed, many things happened in Asmodeus."

"One of them is that I have reported the matter to the Ministry of War and received a reply from the Ministry of War."

"The palindrome is kept in the Governor's Mansion. If Tang Sima doesn't believe it, he can always order someone to take it and have a look." Wang Zhe was very calm and arrogant.

Tang Chengan's expression changed. He didn't expect that Wang Zhe had already prepared. He might have been at a disadvantage by rushing forward in a hurry.

When Huang Chaoran and Jiang Mingyu were having a heated argument, Tang Chengan was touring several counties below.

By the time he returned to Asmodeus City, Jiang Mingyu had already returned to Shangmu County with the conscription documents, so he was unaware of the matter.

As soon as Wang Zhe finished speaking, Tang Chengan's expression suddenly changed. The corners of his mouth that had been slightly raised suddenly dropped, his eyes widened, and the muscles all over his body suddenly tightened. He looked at a loss as if he had been hit in the head.

"This...how is this possible?" He muttered to himself with a pale face and a trembling voice. His original complacent attitude was gone.

Wang Zhe snorted coldly and raised his hand to interrupt his explanation.

Wang Zhe frowned displeased and said coldly: "It's clearly written in black and white on the paper, why do you say it's impossible?" His eyes were full of disdain, as if he was looking at an ignorant and dull child.

"Is it possible that in your eyes, Tang Cheng'an, as the governor of a county, I must be a rebel and a rebel?"

"Besides, why did Lord Jiang recruit troops? He did it for the people of Shangmu County, and to guard the north gate of Dafeng."

"Without those tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, once the Xixia people come back, what will happen to Shangmu County, and what will happen to the entire Asmodeus County?"

"Is it possible that you, Lord Sima, will personally go into battle and use your flesh and blood to block the Xixia cavalry?"

He shook his wide sleeves and paced back and forth in the hall. The apricot-yellow light cast a shadow on his stern face, making him even more impressive.

"As a commander of a county and a high-ranking official in the border area, it really makes my teeth cold to think that I have such evil thoughts."

"Are you, Tang Sima, not happy until you see the people of Shangmu County dying and the Xixia cavalry approaching Asmodeus City?"

He slammed the table, and the heavy sound echoed in the empty hall.

Tang Chengan's face turned even paler. He lowered his head, not daring to look at Wang Zhe.

Wang Zhe didn't even give Tang Chengan a chance to speak, and then asked: "Are you still dissatisfied with me, Dafeng?"

"Have you secretly colluded with the Xixia people long ago to ruin Master Jiang's recruitment plan? They cooperated internally and externally to dedicate the entire Asmodeus to Xixia?"

"You said that if I report this matter to the Holy Emperor, what will he do to you? Divide your body into pieces, or light a lantern on you?"

Wang Zhe sneered and turned around, his clothes rustling across the ground.

Tang Chengan was suddenly startled, he quickly clasped his fists and bowed, bent down and said: "I'm confused, I blame my poor eyesight, please forgive me!" His movements were full of flattery and eagerness, like a monkey using both hands and feet.

.

Wang Zhe sneered, patted Tang Chengan's shoulder, and said hypocritically: "Forget it, we won't hold you accountable. But you should also thank me. If I hadn't intercepted this letter in time, your letter

The letter has long been in the hands of the Rabbit Prime Minister, which is a crime of slander!"

"When the time comes, not only you, but also the Rabbit who listened to your slander will have to face His Majesty's accusations."

"Think about it, once your amulet has a rabbit appearance and suffers a big loss because of this, who will be the first person he can't forgive?"

There was an unhidden smile in his cold eyes, as if he were watching a clown on the stage.

After hearing this, Tang Chengan shivered suddenly, his face turned pale, and his lips even trembled.

He clasped his hands together and looked at Wang Zhe as if begging for mercy, his eyes full of fear and despair.

Wang Zhe is right, once the Rabbit Prime Minister suffers from this incident, he will never be able to live with it.

Thinking about the serious consequences if the Rabbit gets angry, Tang Cheng'an, who had just been dreaming about Spring and Autumn, had his back wet with cold sweat.

Seeing his appearance, Wang Zhe, who was full of smiles, put the "greetings" letter directly into his hand.

Wang Zhe said slowly: "Okay, that's all I have to say. As for what Tang Sima wants to do, it's up to you."

After that, he was in a good mood, flicked his broad sleeves, turned around and left with square steps.

But the moment he turned around to leave, Wang Zhe's eyes, which were originally full of smiles, suddenly turned cold. His frowning brows and the corners of his mouth that were drawn into a line revealed his inner anxiety and urgency.

He secretly thought in his heart: "If this scourge of Tang Chengan is not eliminated, he will be worried day and night. He must inform Jiang Mingyu about this as soon as possible to prevent any unexpected events."

As soon as Wang Zhe left, the servant saw that his master was motionless on the spot, so he quickly asked: "Master, how do you arrange the delivery of the letter?" He looked cautious, as if he was facing a volcano that was about to erupt at any time.

Tang Chengan, who had nowhere to vent his worries, slapped him hard on the face. The servant covered half of his red face in pain, but still asked desperately: "Do you want to send this letter?"

Tang Chengan's eyes widened, as if he wanted to eat his life alive: "Believe it? Eat it!"

Seeing the confused look on the servant's face, Tang Chengan slammed the table and roared: "Are you still deaf? I told you to eat the letter!"

The servant was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything, so he balled up the letter and stuffed it into his mouth. His Adam's apple rolling up and down made the chill in Tang Chengan's eyes even worse.

"Huang Chaoran, you beast! For the sake of your grudge with Jiang Mingyu, you dare to deceive me and make me lose face in front of Wang Zhe. You are intolerable! I can't deal with Wang Zhe for the time being, and I can't cure you, a flathead."

People, just wait for me!" Anger burst out from Tang Chengan's eyes, and he wanted to tear Huang Chaoran and Jiang Mingyu to pieces immediately.

"Wang Zhe, Jiang Mingyu, you all wait for me! If I find the opportunity, I will kill you!" Tang Chengan gritted his teeth and said with hatred.

Within Shangmu County, Sanqing Mountain Village.

Under the sickle-shaped crescent moon, the silver-white snow exudes an icy light.

The bloodstains of more than a hundred bandits before they died have long since solidified into ice, but they still look a bit dazzling.

Zhuge Yu had gone back long ago, but Jiang Mingyu, who was sitting alone in the hall, still didn't feel sleepy at all.

Under the light, Jiang Mingyu was sitting on a huge mahogany chair, wearing a thick black mink fur cloak. His tall body cast a huge black shadow under the light.

He clenched the armrests of the chair with both hands, his white knuckles revealing the anxiety in his heart.

There are deep wrinkles between the frowning eyebrows, and there is a hint of cunning in the solemn eyes.

Occasionally he would rub his temples hard, as if he was planning some strategy.

After a long time, the wooden chair creaked. Jiang Mingyu slammed the table and said in his unique loud voice: "It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided. The bandits still have to be suppressed."

"Only in this way can I gain greater popularity and support from the people."

"As the saying goes, public anger should not be offended. Even if King Qi, who knows everything, wants to attack this official, he still has to weigh it carefully."

Having said this, he couldn't help but sneered, and a hint of ferocity appeared on his face. He leaned forward with his tall body, his hands on his knees, and a cold light in his eyes: "Since I came here, this King of Qi has either insulted me or plotted against me.

What do you think I am?"

"I have been patient for a long time. I am not strong enough, so I have to grovel. But now that I have a heavy army and the people's support, King Qi still wants me to bow my head?"

Jiang Mingyu punched the table, causing the wooden chair to shake. His voice was loud and his tone was righteous: "Everyone is born equal. I am a human being just like King Qi. Why should I bow my head? I will fight him to the end."
