At the same time, Jing State.
Nanyang County.
Wang Yue appeared in the prefect's manor.
Yang Xu, the current prefect of Nanyang, was born in the Yang family of Mount Tai and was a well-known figure in the Great Han Dynasty.
This person was implicated in the second party ban. Later, after Liu Hong lifted the party ban, he re-entered the court as an official. He was the prefect of Lujiang and suppressed the Yellow Turban uprising in Yangzhou. His meritorious service and political achievements were outstanding.
Later on, Zhao Ci rebelled in Jiangxia County and killed the former Nanyang Prefecture Governor Qin Jie, taking down six counties of Nanyang.
The imperial court appointed Yang Xu as the successor to quell the rebellion.
He solved it easily.
From then on, his reputation shook the world.
In the original history, when Liu Hong wanted to appoint Liu Yu as Grand Marshal, Liu Yu refused and instead recommended four other people, including Yang Xu.
It can be seen that this person's reputation.
The allusion of the saying " sheep continue to hang fish " originated from this person.
This person had three sons, Yang Mi, Yang Dan, and Yang Bi. The first two were famous people in the world. Although the latter was still young, his future achievements were limitless.
Especially Yang He, who was the husband of Cai Yuji and the father of Yang Hu, a famous general of the Western Jin Dynasty.
This was a truly prestigious family.
He was loyal, upright, and clean.
Therefore, a person like Yang Xu was loyal to the Imperial Court. Even if the Imperial Court wanted him to die, he would not hesitate to be loyal and would not refuse the Imperial Court's orders.
He was completely different from Ding Yuan.
Therefore, Chen Xiao sent Wang Yue here without thinking of using any money power. It was purely business.
That was enough.
"The imperial court has issued an edict to transfer Huang Zhong from Nanyang to Youzhou!”
Wang Yue did not hold back at all. When he took out the imperial court's transfer order, the aura of a peerless grandmaster naturally overflowed. It was like a deep mountain that made people admire it.
In an instant, the entire prefecture was enveloped in a huge pressure.
"Sword Saint Wang Yue lives up to his reputation!”
An ethereal and pure literary aura seeped out of Yang Xu's body. At the same time, the Prefect's Royal Seal placed on the table in front of him suddenly surged with a faint golden light, fusing with the literary aura.
It actually blocked Wang Yue's aura pressure.
"First-class scholar!"
Wang Yue was surprised. His gaze fell on the official seal of the prefect, and he was a little envious.
As a scholar, he was protected by the luck of the dynasty. He was truly blessed by the heavens.
In comparison, Rangers could only play with mud in the game.
In fact, this was also the reason why Wang Yue dreamed of becoming an official.
His Sword Dao had already reached its peak. If he wanted to rely on himself to advance further, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens. He wanted to imitate scholars, generals, and strategists and cultivate with the help of the dynasty's providence!
The thought flashed through his mind. The sword in Wang Yue's hand trembled slightly and destroyed Yang Xu's literary energy.
At the same time, he restrained his aura.
However, there was a trace of pity in his eyes." Governor Yang, your literary aura is about to dissipate. Your time is coming. I'm afraid you won't have much time to live."”
Everyone in the prefect's manor was stunned.
The crowd was furious.
"How dare you curse the prefect like this?!”
"Even if you're an imperial court envoy, you can't speak like this!!”
"This is outrageous!"
Yang Xu's prestige was extremely high and he was usually loved by his subordinates. Many of them shouted angrily and looked at Wang Yue with extremely unfriendly gazes.
Wang Yue couldn't be bothered with him.
A trace of surprise appeared on Yang Xu's face.
However, his attitude was completely different from the others."You are a grandmaster and your eyesight is the best in the world. It seems that this old man is really going to die?”
These words seemed to be directed at Wang Yue, but they were actually directed at himself.
It meant that he had a feeling for his own body.
In fact, this year was indeed his last year in the world.
Wang Yue stood calmly, his grandmaster demeanor fully displayed."The imperial court's edict is here. Governor Yang, do you accept it?”
"This old man is an official appointed by the Imperial Court, so I naturally have to accept the Imperial Court's edict.”
Yang Xu did not hesitate and took the document from Wang Yue's hands."But who exactly is Huang Zhong? I don't think I've heard of it before!"
Hearing this, Wang Yue's heart skipped a beat.
Judging from Yang Xu's expression, he wasn't lying. He really hadn't heard of it.
Could it be that the lord had made a mistake?
So Huang Zhong wasn't an official of Nanyang?
Or was it that although he was an official in Nanyang County, he was not famous?
" Since my lord has said so, Huang Zhong must be in Nanyang County. He might not be an official, but a minor official…"
Recalling Chen Xiao's instructions before he left, Wang Yue frowned and said,""If that's the case, it's normal that Governor Yang has never heard of him. Please send someone to check the names of the officials in Nanyang County.”
It couldn't be helped. Huang Zhong's early experiences were too little.
Chen Xiao only knew that Huang Zhong had been in Nanyang County in his early years. Later on, due to the war, he went to Jingzhou to serve under Liu Biao. He became a Zhonglang General and assisted Liu Pan in guarding Changsha.
Not just anyone could hold the position of Zhonglang General.
Even if Huang Zhong was brave, he couldn't directly assume the position.
Therefore, before that, he must have had the experience of being an official.
In Nanyang County, they were definitely not ordinary people!
And it was very likely to be a martial position!
It's just that his position is low and he's not known by the prefect!
"This…"
Yang Xu was even more surprised. He couldn't understand why the new Youzhou Overseer would place so much importance on a person he didn't know.
In order to recruit this person, he did not hesitate to search the entire Nanyang County.
But he didn't say anything.
Since it was an order from the Imperial Court, he just had to abide by it.
More importantly, when Wang Yue said that his life was coming to an end, this celebrity's thoughts involuntarily changed.
He was already on the verge of death and might not have much time left. However, he was still so poor that he could not even keep his wife and son from his hometown. He could only send them back to his hometown on Mount Tai.
If he really died, what would happen to his wife and children?
At this moment, he was doing Youzhou Mu a favor and leaving a way out for his sons.
What if he could use it in the future?
Thinking of this, Yang Xu ordered,"Find all the officials in the 37 counties of Nanyang County and send people to investigate Huang Zhong!”
Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was from Nanyang.
Therefore, Nanyang County was known as the emperor's hometown and was the largest county in the world.
There were a total of 37 counties.
With so many counties, there were naturally more officials. In addition, there were some places that hadn't been reported in time…To find a person was like looking for a needle in a haystack!
When the subordinate officer heard this, he immediately felt a headache.
However, he did not dare to disobey Yang Xu's orders.
Immediately, Wang Yue stayed in the prefect's residence and waited for Huang Zhong's news.
As time passed, he became more and more anxious.
"My lord has given me three missions. Go to Chenliu County to pick up Miss Cai, go to Nanyang County to find Huang Zhong, and go to Changsha County to find Cheng Pu and Han Dang.”
"I won't fail the first mission, right?”
"If I can't even do such a small thing well, what face will I have when I go back?”
