Chapter 178: The Marquis of Xuanping, Zhang Ao!
Zhao State has three major provinces, and Xishan Province is one of them. Zhang Ao, the governor of Xishan Province, was the chief official of the border and the vanguard of the old nobles!
Xuanwu City, the central city of Xishan Province! The Governor's Office is also here!
At the end of the competition for fiefdom dispute, Dong Yiwu brought Dong Gan here and apologized for his guilt!
Although it was not entirely his sin.
But it was him. Xuan Pinghou was born in military and military affairs and had a very strict rule. If he did not take the initiative to apologize, the consequences would be even more tragic.
Governor's Office!
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Dong Yiwu and Dong Gan knelt together, with their backs straight and did not dare to slack off at all.
They had been kneeling for a day, and the place they were kneeling was outside Xuanping Hou's house.
The two were wet all over and their faces were pale. Dong Gan was relatively better because he was young, while Dong Yiwu's body had already started to shake and he was about to faint.
Dong Gan gritted his teeth, and the hatred in his eyes was like a pouring rain!
Wang Kang, wait for me. If it weren’t for you, how could our father and son suffer such a hardship!
"The Governor begs to give me another chance! Nothing else, but only for the Earl's Mansion! To repay the humiliation I suffered!"
Dong Yiwu shouted loudly.
Every time he would shout this, Dong Gan felt hatred in his heart, so why didn’t he?
The failure of the fiefdom dispute caused him to be slapped in the face again and again. He was shocked and woke him up!
If it were before, he would have suppressed the Earl's Mansion just for the order of the Governor and to be able to gain his own interests!
So now, he has personal grudges, he wants to take revenge, he wants to collapse the Earl's Mansion, and he wants to make Wang Kang pay the price!
"Squeak!"
The door of the room in front of him suddenly opened!
Seeing this, Dong Yiwu and his two eyes lit up. Could it be that they could escape this disaster?
"The Governor has an order, come in!" said one person standing at the door.
Hearing this, the two were even more energetic and hurriedly tried to stand up, but they couldn't get up!
After kneeling for so long, my legs were already numb.
After a while, Dong Gan first gritted his teeth and struggled to stand up, then stroked his father Dong Yiwu, and the two staggered into the room.
But when I went to the door, I saw that the floor inside the house was covered with plush carpets. The rain was scattered on them, but they didn't dare to enter the door, for fear of getting dirty...
"Come in!" The man next to him said again, with a faint sarcasm in his eyes.
Dong Gan saw it! He subconsciously clenched his fist. He was just a servant, and he was like this to them.
Today's humiliation was brought by the prodigal son, and Dong Gan kept everything on Wang Kang's head!
After entering the house, I found that the house was deep. I walked a few more steps forward. There was a dark curtain in front of me. The curtain blocked my eyes. Through the curtain, I could see a pair of official boots!
Black face and white background, embroidered with gold patterns!
Seeing this scene, Dong Yiwu's face turned stern and hurriedly knelt down, "The criminal Dong Yiwu greeted the Governor!"
Seeing his father like this, Dong Gan knelt down in fear. He knew that the person behind the curtain was the governor of Xishan Province, Xuanping Hou Zhang Ao!
There are only three such figures as the second-rank rank chief officials in Zhao State!
Especially in the Xishan Province, he is a real local emperor, and even Emperor Zhao has no choice but to do anything to him!
Zhang Ao is the number one figure of the old aristocrat. He has been in charge of Xishan Province for many years, and most of it is under his control.
Even if it is Emperor Zhao, the imperial court's official appointed by the head of his jaw, otherwise he would not be able to be the one, and he would not be the one for a long time!
This is also the reason why Emperor Zhao was determined to reduce the vassal states and kill the nobles, because he controlled too much in the hands of the old nobles...
To put it bluntly, the imperial power has been endangered!
Zhang Ao is truly powerful. Dong Yiwu is the governor of a state, and even his true face is hard to see. All he can see is a pair of boots...
"I'll ask you!"
Zhang Ao's heavy voice sounded behind the curtain, "Is that strategy for the article "Teaching and War" written by Wang Dingchang's son?"
"This..." Dong Yiwu was suddenly shocked. He did not expect that the first question of the Governor was this.
"It shouldn't be!" Dong Yiwu thought for a while and responded.
"Should?" Zhang Ao's voice became obviously heavier.
Dong Yiwu trembled and said hurriedly: "No, surely no, that Wang Dingchang's son is a prodigal son..."
"Damn it!" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhang Ao!
"Can a prodigal son who only knows how to spend money make such paintings? Can a prodigal son who only knows how to spend money create a Fuyang tabloid? Can a prodigal son who only knows how to spend money make you like this?"
Zhang Ao shouted repeatedly: "I don't know how to know people, but I don't know how to have a deep enemy. That's clearly a rare talent. You've always regarded it as a prodigal son!"
After hearing this, Dong Qian was slightly stunned and his fists clenched tightly. It turned out that Wang Kang had already been seen by the Governor, and even gave him such a high evaluation!
Is he really that much worse than him?
The Kangxi and Qianlong are unional, are they destined to be unable to change?
No! I don’t believe it!
I am Dong Qian, and the final winner must be me!
"Let me ask you, will there be any mineral deposits in Xinfeng County?" Zhang Ao asked again.
Dong Yiwu understood what the Governor was worried about. A barren fiefdom was completely different from a fiefdom with iron ore. If it were the latter, it could be developed quickly based on this.
He said busy: "What we discovered before has been picked, and it should be gone!"
"Should it? And should it?"
Zhang Ao's cold voice made Dong Yiwu pale, and he said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Governor, Xinfeng County is the place where I have been running, and the county magistrate is also my person. Moreover, Xinfeng County bandits gathered, one of them has been bribed by me..."
"The purpose is to harass the Earl's Mansion so that they cannot accept the development of Xinfeng County with peace of mind. Before coming here, I have already hinted that they would let them raid. Such an opportunity to make money will definitely not be missed!"
Dong Yiwu hurriedly told his plan, he wanted to fight for it, so that Zhang Ao felt that he was still useful.
"This is just the first step. If the Earl's Mansion is lucky enough to enter Xinfeng County, it will not be accepted smoothly. Xinfeng County Magistrate is my person, and he also has some secret steps..."
"Besides, Xinfeng County is the most barren land in Yangzhou, surrounded by mountains. Even if it is obtained by the Earl's Mansion, it will not do anything..."
After Dong Yiwu finished speaking, he knelt down and bowed his head again.
After a while, Zhang Ao spoke in a deep voice: "In this way, I will give you another chance. Your purpose is to suppress the Earl's Mansion and not allow it to develop again. I do not allow any existence that threatens me, do you understand?"
"I understand, understand!" Dong Yiwu's face was happy. He took his son to kneel in the rain for a day, but finally it was not in vain.
"Especially Wang Dingchang's son is the tricky person,"
Zhang Ao said again: "I will ask my little girl to go to Yangzhou with you, and she will deal with Wang Kang!"
"Dong Yiwu said in surprise: "Is it your almost wise daughter?"
"It's her!"
Dong Yiwu was even more happy when he heard this, "With the help of a lady, Yiwu will definitely live up to his mission this time..."
