Chapter 957: Suiyang Prefecture Trembles, the Sky Has Fallen!

~6 min read 1,181 words

Suiyang City.

Prefecture Governor's Mansion.

"Report!"

"Reporting to the Governor, someone is acting under the order of the Imperial Envoy, specifically asking the Governor to go out and welcome him!"

A yamen runner pushed open the gate in a panic, his voice suddenly piercing through the entire Governor's Mansion.

Suiyang Prefecture Governor Meng Ziyi was lying on a chair taking a nap when he suddenly heard his subordinate's voice. Although his body was a bit bloated and fat, he bounced up instantly.

"Imperial Envoy?"

"Where did the Imperial Envoy come from?"

Meng Ziyi hurried to get up and walked out in a hurry.

He had not received news from Changan, but Da Qian was so large, who would dare to forge an Imperial Envoy's order unless they felt their nine generations' lives were too long!

A sense of unease welled up in his heart.

Walking out of the gate, Meng Ziyi saw at a glance a man riding a warhorse with a look of disdain; it was Zhao Da!

"You are the Suiyang Prefecture Governor, Meng Ziyi?"

As soon as Meng Ziyi heard the tone, that sense of unease became even stronger.

Zhao Da didn't talk nonsense either, and directly threw a token at Meng Ziyi.

The moment Meng Ziyi saw the token, he trembled all over.

There were only two big characters on this token: Shangguan!

According to the long-standing rules of Da Qian, the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate would send officials every year to arrive in various prefectures and counties. Although their official positions were not high, they carried imperial orders to inspect the world. Meng Ziyi knew this very well.

But in the entire Da Qian, how many Shangguan officials are there?

The female official by His Majesty's side, Official Shangguan, has arrived in Suiyang Prefecture!

This news was enough to make the entire officialdom of Suiyang Prefecture tremble three times.

"The subordinate did not know that the Imperial Envoy had arrived, and failed to welcome him. I hope Official Shangguan will forgive me! Now I don't know where Official Shangguan is? So that the subordinate can go and welcome him!"

Meng Ziyi's attitude became humble instantly.

Shangguan Wan'er's status was known to all in Da Qian.

Even though he was a prefecture governor, he couldn't afford to offend her.

Zhao Da's expression was cold as he looked at Meng Ziyi coldly, "Official Shangguan is in Qingshui County, but she is not the Imperial Envoy!"

"What?"

Hearing this, Meng Ziyi's heart trembled.

Shangguan Wan'er's identity was already shocking enough, and there was someone whose identity was even more noble than Shangguan Wan'er's?

That would be...

Meng Ziyi's pupils shrank suddenly.

He heard the news that the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the Da Qian Living Yama, had been sick at home for many days, and Shangguan Wan'er by His Majesty's side had not attended court for many days.

Now Shangguan Wan'er is in Suiyang Prefecture!

Then the Da Qian Living Yama...

"Lord Gao has also come?"

Meng Ziyi couldn't believe it, his lips a bit dry.

What kind of status did Gao Yang have, and he actually came to Suiyang Prefecture!

This news was enough to shock the entire Da Qian!

Zhao Da sneered, "Lord Gao not only came, but was also thrown into prison by Governor Meng's subordinates!"

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken.

It was like a thunderbolt, suddenly falling from the sky, striking Meng Ziyi, making Meng Ziyi's head buzz.

He looked at Zhao Da in astonishment, a stormy sea rising in his heart.

"Lord Gao was actually thrown into prison by my subordinates?"

Meng Ziyi's legs went soft, and he almost knelt down.

That was the first poisonous strategist of Da Qian. Who the hell had the guts to capture even the Living Yama?

Zhao Da's eyes were cold as he said directly, "The Imperial Envoy, grandson of the Duke of Ding, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Qianxiao Silver Badge Supervisory Censor, and Minister of the Tianlu Division, Lord Gao, who was ordered to make a secret visit to Suiyang Prefecture, is now in the Qingshui County prison!"

"Official Shangguan specially sent me to ask Governor Meng: is this how you govern your subordinates?"

"The words have been brought; Governor Meng can do as he pleases."

After speaking, Zhao Da pulled the reins and left straight away.

Meng Ziyi's pupils shrank suddenly, his body trembling, and a chill rushed from his tailbone to his crown, making him stiff all over!

But immediately after, there was a soaring anger!

That was the first poisonous strategist of Da Qian, the Living Yama who made the seven kingdoms tremble. He was captured in his own territory?

It's over!

This time it's really over!

"Is Li Wenzheng crazy?"

"He even dares to capture the Living Yama; does he have the guts of a bear?"

Meng Ziyi was instantly furious.

"Someone!"

"Where is Censor Zhang?"

Meng Ziyi suddenly said, his expression gloomy.

In Da Qian, the prefecture governor is the biggest, but there are many official positions below, military set up commandants, commanders, in charge of different arms.

Next is the prefecture assistant, censor, long history, county magistrate!

The censor is responsible for inspecting the townships and counties, and has the duty of supervision, with great power in his hands!

Hearing this, the subordinate said hurriedly, "Censor Zhang's concubine has recently become pregnant, and he has been taking care of her at home for the past two days."

Hearing this, Meng Ziyi's face turned black.

"Immediately order Censor Zhang to rush to Qingshui County at the fastest speed, and ask him: is this how he is responsible for supervising the townships and counties under his command?"

"Damn it, even the Living Yama has been captured!"

"If this matter is not handled well, don't bother having children; even if they are born, it will be a hellish start!"

"In addition, prepare a carriage immediately—no, prepare a warhorse; this official wants to rush to Qingshui County at the fastest speed!"

Meng Ziyi gave the order, not hiding the anger in his heart!

Suiyang Prefecture, the sky has fallen!

That is the Living Yama!

He only hopes that everything is still in time!

That Gao Yang's anger can be calmed.

Otherwise, the entire Suiyang Prefecture will have to bear the wrath of the Living Yama!

"..."

Prefecture Assistant's Mansion.

A middle-aged man wearing blue official robes with two small mustaches trembled all over when he heard the news, almost collapsing on the ground.

After he came back to his senses, he roared at his servants.

"Quick, quick, quick!"

"Prepare a carriage for this official at the fastest speed—no, prepare a horse; I want to go to Qingshui County!"

"Yes!"

The servants in the mansion hurried to prepare.

They were also very careful, shocked in their hearts.

The prefecture assistant is the second-in-command of a prefecture. Even if the county magistrate sees him, he must bow respectfully. What on earth has happened to make a prefecture assistant so panicked!

"..."

A luxurious mansion. ===== CHAPTER 959 =====
