The arrival of the demotion envoy's guards completely solved Di Renjie's predicament.
This made him even more confident. The guards and the thousand-bull guards sent by the emperor...
There were a total of a thousand people, all of whom were elites among elites.
Throughout the day and night, he basically only had Hu Jinghui, Yuan Ji, and a dozen of his personal guards by his side.
Although Fang Qian was "tricked", there was still a hidden worry.
Fang Qian's control over Youzhou was truly frightening.
A large number of guards were stationed in the Grand Governor's Office.
Naturally, they were 'repelled' out and were a little unhappy. Yuan Ji comforted them a little.
The Governor's Mansion was a compound that had been vacated in a hurry and occupied a large area.
Walking in the mansion, Yuan Ji saw guards coming and going, as if they were busy.
A few guards and officers were arranged to guard the various courtyards and halls in the residence.
As expected of the guards from Fairy's Capital. Other than their gorgeous armor, each of them had a sense of superiority.
In the main hall, Di Renjie was receiving the subordinate officials of the demotion envoy.
After a few words of encouragement, he sent the man away. When Yuan Ji arrived, he saw a clever servant.
She stood beside Di Renjie with a smile on her face.
He was calling out "Master". This should be Di Chun.
Upon seeing Yuan Ji, Di Renjie smiled and waved at him. Then, he instructed Di Chun,"
"Di Chun, withdraw some money from the treasury and hand it over to General Yuan!”
"Yes, sir!"
He said gently to Yuan Ji,
"You've worked hard these two days. Take this small fortune as my thank-you gift."
Let the soldiers have a good rest!”
"Thank you, sir!" Yuan Ji cupped his hands and bowed.
He sighed inwardly. Fatty Di was really thoughtful.
He actually cared about the feelings of his subordinates…
Yuan Ji blinked and looked at Di Renjie."
"Milord, that old man went back on his word in court, allowing the provincial governor and the others to escape.
You've lost face. Why do I look so natural when I see you?”
Hearing this, Di Renjie stroked his beard and smiled. Li Yuanfang, who was at the side, said coldly,"
"This Zhang Laosi is so repetitive.
Daren wanted to seek justice for them, but he actually didn't know his place.”
Seeing Li Yuanfang's indignant expression, Di Renjie comforted her,"
"Yuan Fang, don't be impatient. This Zhang Lao Si might have some unspeakable secret…"
Di Renjie's eyes were filled with doubt.
Then, he laughed coldly, his expression as if he was holding a pearl of wisdom in his hand.
"Things have come to this point, and it's not something that Fang and Wu can hide!”
After pondering for a while, Di Renjie looked up at Yuan Ji and asked,"
"Tell me in detail about the assassin you encountered on the way.”
"So, it was someone from the Youzhou army who tried to assassinate you?”
After hearing Yuan Ji's report, Di Renjie's expression turned grave.
Yuan Ji nodded and looked at Di Renjie."
"This general is guessing, could it be Fang Qian's people?”
"Probably not!" Di Renjie shook his head."
"He did not know that you had left the city to receive Yuan Fang and the villagers.
He and Sima Wu Yizhi stayed with me to chat.
Even if he wanted to, he didn't have the time to arrange it!”
"Who could it be?" Hu Jinghui interrupted.
After walking back and forth a few times in the hall, Di Renjie smiled."
"This might become another breakthrough for us!”
Di Renjie looked at Yuan Ji with bright eyes."
"You will investigate this assassination. Find out the identity of the assassin and find out the mastermind!”
Yuan Ji's interest was piqued. He raised his hand and replied,""Yes, sir!"
"Yuan Fang!"
"Yes! What orders does Milord have?" Li Yuanfang immediately stood up and saluted Di Renjie.
Di Renjie took out a document from his pocket and handed it to Li Yuanfang."
"Eat my letter and hurry to Guangping County. Summon the county magistrate, Zhao Chuanchen, to the residence!”
"Yes, sir!" Li Yuan Fang immediately bowed.
"Remember, move quickly and keep it a secret!”Di Renjie did not forget to remind him,"
"Also, ensure his safety!”
"Don't worry, Your Excellency!" Li Yuan Fang said with a serious expression.”
After Li Yuanfang left, Hu Jinghui couldn't help but ask,"
"Milord, who is this Guangping magistrate? Is he related to this case?”
"It's not a small relationship! Big Willow Village was under his rule.
Didn't Fang Qian say that there was not a single cent left in the consolation money and that it had been distributed in full?
I'll summon this county magistrate to confront him. Biting this line, they would definitely reveal themselves!”
Di Renjie was full of confidence.
Then, he looked at Yuan Ji and said with a smile,"
"Yuan Ji is investigating the assassination case.”
"Milord, then I will take my leave first!”He cupped his hands at Di Renjie.
"Yes! Go…"
……
"Di Renjie, that old fox, is really not easy to deal with!”
In the yamen behind the Provincial Governor's Office, Fang Qian cursed in his heart. In court
He had "luckily" escaped a calamity. At this moment, he felt a chill down his spine.
"My lord!" Wu Yizhi hurried over the threshold and entered.
"Di Renjie and the others have already moved into the Governor's Office?”Fang Qian asked.
Nodding his head, Wu Yizhi reported,
"Sir, Di Renjie has brought the emperor's edict and is already in a high position. Now that the guards have arrived,
It's really not easy to deal with him using his power to suppress us.
"I'm afraid he won't let the matter of the consolation money go. We still have to be prepared."
Otherwise, he would find out about Tianbao Bank.
That's not good!"
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have had the idea of spending this little money!”
Fang Qian looked regretful. He walked back and forth a few times and asked,
"How's Zhao Chuanchen?"
"I've already sent someone over. He was personally promoted by you, so he shouldn't say anything!”Wu Yizhi replied.
"Right!" Wu Yizhi looked outside the door and whispered,"
"Ma Wu sent a message that the higher-ups are extremely angry about the matter of Li Er.
They told us to be careful when dealing with Di Renjie. They will think of a way to deal with Li Er!”
Fang Qian's heart suddenly trembled a few times. He knew clearly about the matter with Jili Khan.
He had done too badly, and he had been feeling uneasy.
Now that he had received a response from the higher-ups, he was at least slightly relieved.
"There's news about Yuan Ji's assassination.”
Turning to stare at Wu Yizhi, Fang Qian asked suspiciously,"
"What's going on? Did the higher-ups send someone to do this?”
Shaking his head, Wu Yizhi explained,
"I don't think so. According to the information from the Governor's Office, it seems to be done by the Youzhou government army!
Now, Di Renjie wanted Yuan Ji to investigate this matter!”
"Go down and ask if it was our people who did it!”
Fang Qian seemed to have realized something. His expression was gloomy as he instructed.
