Continuous blows

When Dong Qian was in a gloomy mood, Dong Yiwu returned to the Governor's Mansion, and the reception banquet prepared for Zhang Xianxian could not be wasted.

It just so happened that I had been away for such a long time, so I should understand the current trends. I heard that when I went to Xuanwu City, Wang Kang went to take over Xinfeng County.

He had made arrangements a long time ago, so it would definitely be difficult for him. The bandits there alone would be enough for him to eat.

Those present at the banquet were all people from his side, and they were also all powerful figures in Yangzhou City, such as Bie Yu Xingye, Sima Zheng Qigong, Chang Shi, the newly appointed Recorder and Military Officer, etc.

After the catastrophe, and with the support of Marquis Xuan Ping again, Dong Yiwu swept away the previous gloom and picked up the wine glass with high spirits.

"Everyone, I went to Xuanwu City to meet with the Governor. Not only did the Governor not blame me, he also gave me strong support. Gan'er became the magistrate of Anyi County as he wished!"

"And the Governor also sent his daughter to help, our future is bright!"

Dong Yiwu said loudly, in fact, he was also talking nonsense, only talking about the good side and not mentioning the bad side.

Are you still stupid enough to say that you knelt in the rain all day? It’s such a disgrace to your reputation!

"Now the Earl's Mansion has obtained Xinfeng County as a fiefdom. This cannot be changed, and we will continue to suppress it so that his fiefdom cannot develop!"

"We can't let it become the capital of the earl rich. I made arrangements before I left for Xuanwu City."

Dong Yiwu said and looked at Zheng Qigong, "You are responsible for the contact with Xu Yun. What is the situation in Xinfeng County now?"

"Is that prodigal son really embarrassed and exhausted by the bandits?"

Dong Qian smiled and said: "I had thought about wiping out the bandits before, but fortunately I didn't do it, otherwise I would have made a wedding dress for the Earl's Mansion."

"With those bandits, Wang Kang still wants to develop? He is just dreaming,"

"You also need to inform Xu Yun that we can provide weapons to the bandits in Qingyakou when necessary, but as long as I ask them to deal with Wang Kang for me..."

Dong Yiwu was talking to himself, then stopped suddenly. He looked at the people around him, his face was not good-looking, and asked in confusion: "Hey? Why don't you speak?"

"By the way, didn't I ask Xu Yun to come with me and listen to his report? Why didn't I see anyone? He was the magistrate of Xinfeng County before..."

Before Dong Yiwu could say anything, he saw that the people at the table looked dull and immediately became angry.

I've been away for a few days and I'm like this when I come back. What do you mean? Don't you want me to come back?

"Zheng Qigong, tell me!" Dong Yiwu named him.

Zheng Qigong stood up and said respectfully: "Master Governor, there have been some changes in my family recently, and I have no energy for the time being, so I am responsible for this matter."

"Something happened? What is it?" Dong Yiwu looked unhappy. Family matters were so important.

Mentioning this, Zheng Qigong showed bitterness on his face and said sadly: "Xian'er... is dead!"

"Xian'er?" Dong Yiwu asked in surprise: "Zheng Xian?"

Zheng Qigong nodded.

"How could he die?" As soon as Dong Yiwu asked, he came to his senses. After the fiefdom competition ended, it was revealed from Li Chunyuan that Zheng Xian and Yang Xiuwen had contracted the disease.

This matter spread so much that the county governor didn't care about Yang Xiuwen.

"My condolences!" Dong Yiwu said in a deep voice without offering any other comfort. He was just messing around. Who can blame him for contracting this disease?

It seems that Hui'er will be restrained from now on...

Zheng Qigong seemed to understand what Dong Yiwu was thinking, and said hurriedly: "Xian'er contracted the disease not because of himself, but because of someone else's plot!"

"Being plotted against? Who is it?" Dong Yiwu asked doubtfully.

"It's Wang Kang!"

Zheng Qigong gritted his teeth and said: "During the fiefdom competition, Xian'er, instigated by Yang Xiuwen, killed Wang Kang's cousin, so this is Wang Kang's revenge!"

After hearing this, Dong Yiwu asked solemnly: "Is there any evidence?"

"There is no conclusive evidence...but everything can show that it must be him!"

Zheng Qigong knelt down as he spoke and said sadly: "Master Governor, you have to make the decision for me. Xian'er died so miserably!"

"You get up first!" Dong Yiwu shouted, "How can a state's Sima cry and cry like this?"

"Wang Kang can't recover. I have put Xu Yun in contact with the Qingyakou bandits. This revenge will be avenged for you!"

"That... Lord Governor," Bie Jiayu Xingye said in difficulty, "Xu Yun is also dead!"

He knew that he couldn't hide this matter and would have to tell it sooner or later.

"What did you say? Xu Yun is dead?" Dong Yiwu asked in shock, "How could he die?"

This was too sudden.

"They were crushed to death," Yu Xingye explained, telling the story of the massive collapse at Qingyakou.

"So, all the bandits in Qingyakou are dead?" Dong Yiwu asked hurriedly.

"Yes!" Yu Xingye nodded with difficulty.

"Furthermore, according to our investigation, this matter is very likely...Wang Kang did it."

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's Wang Kang again? Is he a god? Can he blow up a mountain?" Dong Yiwu shouted directly, not believing it at all.

His expression was extremely ugly. The Qingyakou bandits he had contacted specifically to deal with Wang Kang were now dead.

Even Xu Yun, who he had high hopes for, died. Dong Yiwu's originally good mood suddenly turned bad!

He then ordered: "There are more than one group of bandits in Qingyakou in Xinfeng County. Contact me immediately and let them deal with Wang Kang. We can provide weapons and equipment if necessary!"

"Well... I'm afraid it won't work," Yu Xingye said in a vomiting voice.

"What happened again?" Dong Yiwu asked anxiously.

"Xinfeng County, there are no bandits anymore!"

"What did you say? How is this possible? Did Zhang Boguang go to clear it up?" Dong Yiwu jumped up instantly.

"no."

"Explain to me clearly what's going on!" Dong Yiwu shouted angrily.

"I just received the news today that the bandits were set up by Wang Kang to start a civil war. They fought together. Except for the Green Forest people, everyone else died and scattered..."

"Is the news true?"

"It's absolutely true!" Yu Xingye nodded!

Hearing this, Dong Yiwu swayed, how could this be possible? How could Wang Kang get rid of so many bandits so easily.

"You said the Green Foresters are still there, contact us quickly, we must have one!" Dong Yiwu said hurriedly.

Only bandits can do whatever they want without any scruples.

"This... won't work either!" Yu Xingye hesitated and said.

"Why can't it work again?"

"The bandits in the Green Forest...have surrendered to Wang Kang..."

For a moment, Dong Yiwu was stunned. He had only left for a few days and thought he would get good news when he came back. Now, bad news comes one after another!

He is really going crazy!

What a series of blows!

Is this prodigal son really that magical? Now that the foreign troubles are over, development and construction must begin!

No, Dong Yiwu looked gloomy.
