Listening to Jiang Shuiqin's footsteps getting further and further away
At this moment, Jiang Shuiyao, who had a cold expression on her face, began to tear up. Soon, she began to sob softly.
It had been three years since Du Yuan had followed Du Tianhao to war. Jiang Shuiyao had spent every day in longing.
In the first year, it was still alright. Du Yuan would occasionally send letters, but in the second year, there was no news at all.
After that, Jiang Shuiyao began to cry every day. After that, her tears seemed to have dried up or something, and she stopped crying. She had no expression every day.
Jiang Shuiyao, who would have gone out to relax and relieve her depression, chose to shut herself in after hearing the gossip of her blind date neighbors.
Not long after, it seemed like Jiang Shuiyao had finished venting her pain, so she got up and found a pen and paper in her desk to write:
"The promise under the cherry blossom tree
West Lin County Water Yao "
After writing, Jiang Shuiyao wrote a big 'Yao' on the envelope.
Then, he called out to the door,
"Xiao Yue, come in for a moment."
Xiao Yue immediately pushed open the door and walked over quickly. She said to Jiang Shuiyao,
"Miss, are you feeling better?"
Xiao Yue was used to this. Ever since her young mistress had shut herself in, she would often sob softly in the middle of the night. However, in the dead of night, no matter how soft a sound was, it could travel farther than during the day. Xiao Yue would hear Jiang Shuiyao's sobs every night.
Jiang Shuiyao wiped her tears and said to Xiao Yue,
"Better."
"Oh right, Xiao Yue, secretly send this letter to the Jinyang City Governor's residence and give it to Governor Du Yuan.”
After saying that, Jiang Shuiyao handed the letter to Xiaoyue.
Xiao Yue took the letter and immediately said,
"Alright, Miss. I'll definitely deliver it as soon as possible.”
With that, he took the letter and turned around to walk away.
After leaving Jiang Shuiyao's room, Xiao Yue walked quickly.
Jiang Shuiqin stopped Xiao Yue when she saw her hurrying out. She called out,
"Xiao Yue, where are you going in such a hurry?”
Xiao Yue was shocked and replied weakly,"
"Young miss, I didn't go anywhere."
Jiang Shuiqin immediately became suspicious when she saw Xiao Yue trembling. She asked,
"Didn't go anywhere? Then why don't you take good care of my sister?"
"Hey, what's that in your hand?"
At this moment, Xiao Yue looked at Jiang Shuiqin in front of her. Seeing that the letter in her hand had been discovered, she hid it behind her back and said,
"This, this is the letter I sent home."
Jiang Shuiqin was even more incredulous. She snatched the letter from Xiao Yue's hand. Xiao Yue did not dare to fight back and could only let her snatch it away and pray in her heart.
Jiang Shuiqin snatched the letter and saw the big word Yao on it. She knew that it was a letter from her sister, Jiang Shuiyao.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Xiao Yue,
"This is the letter that Shui Yao asked you to send to Du Yuan in Jinyang City, right?”
Xiao Yue was shocked and said softly,"
"Yes, Miss."
After hearing Xiao Yue's admission, Jiang Shuiqin returned the letter to Xiao Yue and said,"
"Shui Yao, do you have anything else to tell Du Zihao?”
After Xiao Yue took the letter from Jiang Shuiqin's hand, her heart that had been hanging in the air seemed to have landed. Then, she replied to Jiang Shuiqin,
"No, Eldest Miss. Second Miss only gave me this letter and told me that it was sent to Du Yuan, the governor of Jinyang City.”
Jiang Shuiqin sighed and said,
"Sigh! Tell Du Zihao that the Wang family has already given the betrothal gift the day before yesterday and my parents have accepted it. They will probably come to propose marriage soon. If they don't want my sister to marry someone else, tell him to act faster.”
Then, he waved at Xiao Yue and said,"
"Go ahead. If anyone asks you, just say that you went to buy something for me.”
Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment and said,
"Yes, Miss."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the mansion.
At this moment, Jiang Shuiqin looked at Xiao Yue, who was far away, and then looked at Jiang Shuiyao's room. She sighed and said,"
"Shui Yao, you're still the same as before. This is all I can help you with.”
"I hope Du Zihao won't let you down!”
The next day, Jinyang City Governor's Mansion
Du Yuan sat in the court and looked down. Of the nine county magistrates who should have arrived, only seven had arrived.
Du Yuan asked Zhang Liao,"
"Wenyuan, where are the two county magistrates?”
Zhang Liao reported to Du Yuan,"
"My lord, the original county magistrate of Taiyuan, Liao Ci, died defending the city when the Black Mountain Army attacked the city.”
Zhang Liao paused for a moment before continuing,
"The governor of Xihe Prefecture said he was sick and couldn't come.”
Zhang Liao quickly continued,
"According to the scouts, he is currently boating with his new concubine in the river of Li County.”
Du Yuan said angrily,"
"This Pan Yu 'an has been living in peace in Xihe Prefecture for too long. He has forgotten that Bing Province is in constant war. The people are already in dire straits, but he still has the mood to play.”
At this moment, Yunzhong County Magistrate stood up and said,"
"My lord, the Pan family is a noble family in Xihe Prefecture. They usually take bribes from the people. In the past, they would give Ding Yuan a lot of gold and silver every year. Ding Yuan turned a blind eye to it. Now that my lord has just taken office, he definitely doesn't care.”
Hearing this, Du Yuan smashed the white wooden chair he was sitting on and said,
"Humph! Looks like I haven't killed anyone for a few days. Is my reputation not enough?”
"Wen Yuan, bring 1,000 soldiers from the Heavenly Dragon Army and raid his house. I want to see Pan Yu 'an's head tomorrow!”
Zhang Liao stood up and accepted the order without changing his expression.
"Yes!"
Clearly, this scene, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were long used to it. At this time, the two people's expressions were unperturbed.
The scene of Du Yuan smashing the wooden horse with a single strike on the Xianbei battlefield had left a deep impression on Gao Shun and Zhang Liao. Now that he had shattered the wooden chair with his bare hands, it seemed very normal to Du Yuan. It would be abnormal if he did not shatter it.
However, the others were different!
Seeing this scene, the county magistrates were shocked and regretful. They shattered the chairs they sat on with their bare hands. Moreover, the chairs in the prefect's manor were not ordinary chairs. Everyone thought that they could not do this at the moment. The main reason was that they were sitting on them. If they used their strength, they might hurt themselves. Their respect for Du Yuan increased a little.
Seeing this scene, the other soldiers in the imperial court thought,'The lord is indeed a heroic person.'
At this moment, the other generals in the hall who had come with the various mayors saw this scene and shouted,
"He's too strong. Just this move of his proves how strong he is and how decisive he is in killing. Some of the generals who were originally dissatisfied with the county magistrate now feel at peace.”
System Notification: Shangdang County Magistrate's Loyalty Points increased by 2 points.
System Notification: Yanmen County Magistrate's Loyalty Points increased by 2 points
.........
After Zhang Liao left, Du Yuan said to everyone,
"County Magistrate, please go and rest first. We will discuss the rest after Wen Yuan returns.”
