Provincial Governor Yu felt a wave of nervousness in his heart. He hurriedly asked two soldiers from the Provincial Governor's Office to help Uncle He up.
"We merchants can do business in the Western Regions because of the sacrifices of the soldiers guarding the border. We've also heard about the battle in Yanzhou. Only a few hundred soldiers remain of the several thousand soldiers guarding the city. These are the iron-blooded men of the Great Tang! What our Zhong Family can do is really insignificant.”Uncle He said sincerely and humbly.
Cold sweat broke out on Provincial Governor Yu's forehead and back.
"Who is this woman?" Taba Feng asked.
"The eldest daughter of the Zhong family." The governor's heart was uneasy.
Uncle He immediately added," Reporting to General Li, my old master passed away not long ago. Now, Eldest Miss is in charge of the family." I am just following orders. The matters in Yanzhou are all decided by the Eldest Miss.”
Guo Ziyi praised him in his heart. This Uncle He really knew how to talk! In this way, Zhong Lisu would be a hero who helped the army! However, from what Zhong Lisu had said, she was indeed such a person. He was a good patriotic youth who protected the border. His judgment was right.
Guo Ziyi was secretly pleased, but she didn't say anything. She just wanted to see how things would develop. With Wang Zhongsi and Taba Feng around, he felt very at ease.
"Do you have any evidence that the Zhong family smuggled weapons and evaded taxes?”Wang Zhongsi sternly asked.
Provincial Governor Yu knew that the situation had changed. He was also a smart person. After thinking for a while, he immediately changed his tone."It was discovered by the people from the City Patrol Department and reported to me. I think this is a serious matter, and the Zhong family has always had a good character, so I invited the eldest daughter of the Zhong family and Butler He to the provincial governor's office to inquire about the matter.”
Guo Ziyi cursed him in her heart. What did he say before? Now, the conversation changed so quickly!
"The smuggled weapons were discovered on the spot?”Taba Feng immediately asked.
Provincial Governor Yu's heart skipped a beat as he replied anxiously,""No. The Zhong family's goods were sealed very tightly. The city patrol bureau seized the goods and found them after dismantling them."
"Milords, the Zhong Clan has been wronged. The goods that we ship out of the city are all daily necessities that are destined for Gaochang Country. Only after the city shipping company has inspected them will we dare to ship them out of the city and pay the taxes in full. The goods were inexplicably detained by the city patrol inspection department and there has been no news. Today, the provincial governor suddenly came to the government to arrest people and insisted that we smuggled armaments and evaded taxes. I really don't know what's wrong with this!”Uncle He continued.
Wang Zhongsi coldly laughed. He was a wise man, and he had a rough idea of what was going on.
"There is not enough evidence to say that the Zhong family smuggled weapons and evaded taxes. In addition, there's a possibility of framing him." Wang Zhongsi calmly said, his words carrying weight.
Guo Ziyi felt a surge of gratitude and admiration for Wang Zhongsi. Wang Zhongsi didn't speak much, and his tone didn't seem to carry much emotion, but every word he said hit the nail on the head. It made people feel good, filled with a sense of justice!
"Lord Regional Governor is right. I also feel that the matter is not that simple, so I personally went to invite the Zhong family to the Provincial Governor's Office to assist in the investigation. If there is any misunderstanding, I will definitely clear the Zhong Family's name!”Provincial Governor Yu's back was completely drenched.
"Do you need to be shackled so heavily to ask for help in the investigation? Didn't you say that you were going to get her?”Taba Feng said coldly.
"Yes, yes, this lowly official handled it wrongly. Someone, remove the shackles from Miss Zhong and the butler immediately!”Provincial Governor Yu immediately ordered, but he did not mention Guo Ziyi.
Taba Feng felt strange. He looked at Guo Ziyi and secretly smiled. Then, he gave her a look.
Guo Ziyi understood that his big brother was up to something again.
"Who is this person? What crime did he commit? Why was he detained with the Zhong family?”Taba Feng asked.
A gust of wind blew from behind, sending chills down the Provincial Governor's back. He turned to look at Guo Ziyi and thought for a moment before saying,"This person is a relative of the Zhong Family. When I brought people to the Zhong Family, this person attacked the government troops and threatened me.”
Provincial Governor Yu thought,'This person doesn't know Taba Feng, right?'
Taba Feng smiled coldly as he glanced at Guo Ziyi and said,""Why would the dignified Commandant Guo Yi, a fifth-grade official of the Imperial Court, teach this lowly official a lesson?”
As soon as he said this, Provincial Governor Yu's heart skipped a beat. He was stunned and stared straight at Taba Feng.
Are you here to trick me today? Why do you know all the people I arrested today? Yet another Rank Five Commandant Guo Yi had appeared? What can't you say in one go?
Also, didn't the Zhong family's backer fall? Why did a fifth-grade cousin suddenly pop out?
Taba Feng's words just now had immediately determined that Guo Ziyi's attack on the government troops was a lesson to me.
Provincial Governor Yu's heart could not take it anymore. He was about to break out in a cold sweat for a year. His two subordinates had been beaten up for nothing.
Guo Ziyi was also stunned. What was going on? How did he suddenly become a fifth-grade commandant of the imperial court?
Zhong Lisu looked at Guo Ziyi, his eyes flickering and his expression changing slightly.
Uncle He also turned to look at Guo Ziyi, his face full of surprise.
Although she still did not understand what was going on, Guo Ziyi also said,"Just now, this lowly official saw that the provincial governor's subordinates had not handled the matter properly and had arrogantly molested the eldest daughter of the Zhong family. For the sake of the imperial court's laws and the official's reputation, this lowly official decided to teach them a lesson.”
"Good lesson." Taba Feng smiled faintly.
The two men who were beaten by Provincial Governor Yu looked at each other, their eyes wide open, not daring to say a word.
"Milords, I'm afraid there's been a misunderstanding today. I'll investigate it clearly and give you an explanation. Please quickly enter the residence to rest. Don't stand at the door.”Provincial Governor Yu's heart was in a mess. He didn't know how many immortals he had offended today, so he forced himself to speak.
However, things were not over yet.
Wang Zhongsi remained seated on his horse and looked at Provincial Governor Yu."Hold on, Provincial Governor Yu, I still have something to ask you.”
Provincial Governor Yu raised his head, his mind a little muddled.
"Sir, please ask."
"When the Turkic army was besieging the city, Yanzhou's General Li was the first to send you a message asking for help.”Wang Zhongsi's eyes were cold.
Provincial Governor Yu fell to his knees. He seemed to understand why Wang Zhongsi and Taba Feng had come together.
He was here to ask for punishment.
