Chapter 231 Drizzle
"Nothing to do?"
Chen Xiu frowned.
Jiang Zuo was the governor of Huainan, in charge of the important matter of marching south to attack Chen. However, he said that he was busy, which showed that he did not take the order of His Majesty to heart.
Chen Xiu felt quite unhappy.
Anyone who dares to deceive His Majesty is against the Ninth Prince!
Including Jiang Zuo, even if he is the emperor's confidant, he cannot be so hypocritical.
At this time, Master Guo came to Jiang Zuo and whispered, "Sir, there was another accident at the demolition site. I want you to go and take a look."
Jiang Zuo frowned and whispered, "What happened again..."
After a moment, he raised his head and said to Chen Xiu, "You two, I have something to do. I will excuse myself for now."
Chen Xiu also slowly stood up and said, "Then I will come to visit Master Jiang another day."
Chen Xiu saw the conversation between Master Guo and Jiang Zuo just now and found it very suspicious.
"Master Guo, please show the guest away."
Jiang Zuo stood up and said.
Chen Xiu waved his hand and said, "No need, goodbye."
After saying that, he and Meng Cheng set off.
At this moment, it started drizzling again.
Chen Xiu didn't bring an umbrella and walked towards the gate with his head down.
When I arrived at the gate, I suddenly met someone.
Situ Hua also happened to be meeting Jiang Zuo at this time, and bumped into Chen Xiu as soon as he entered the door.
He was about to say something, but the moment he raised his head, he was stunned.
The person standing in front of Situ Hua at this moment is of a very unusual identity.
"Your Majesty?!"
Situ Hua was startled and immediately stepped forward and knelt down.
As a member of the Thousand Cavalry Division, he had naturally met the Ninth Prince.
It turns out that the person His Majesty assigned to come to Jiangzhou City was actually the Ninth Prince.
Szeto Wah was also slightly surprised.
Chen Xiu walked forward and signaled Situ Hua to be quiet and not to reveal his identity.
"Shh, don't talk."
Chen Xiu said in a low voice, turned his head and looked inside the mansion, and only felt relieved after confirming that no one had noticed.
Situ Hua understood and knew that Chen Xiu did not want to reveal his identity, so he remained silent.
"Farewell."
Chen Xiu didn't say much and left the mansion.
Situ Hua seemed a little confused, wondering why the Ninth Prince came to Lord Jiang's residence this time.
At this moment in the courtyard, Jiang Zuo also questioned Chen Xiu's identity: "This person started asking questions right away, but I don't know who sent him."
"But this person looks so young. He doesn't look like a high-ranking official in the imperial court. He looks more like a rich kid pretending to be an ordinary person."
Master Guo on the side speculated.
Although Chen Xiu deliberately dressed very ordinary, his words and actions revealed a noble appearance.
Jiang Zuo also failed to deceive me on this point.
Jiang Zuo's suspicious character at this moment made him doubt Chen Xiu's purpose.
"Could he be sent by the State of Chen? No, he said he was from Daizhou."
Jiang Zuo murmured.
Master Guo was packing up his tea bowls and said, "If you are worried, I will send someone to follow them secretly and investigate their background thoroughly."
Jiang Zuo nodded slightly and said, "By the way, check if there are any high-ranking officials from Daizhou who have come to Jiangzhou City recently. I want a list of all of them."
"Your Excellency, please rest assured of my intelligence capabilities."
Master Guo promised.
While they were chatting, Situ Hua also came to Jiang Zuo.
"My Lord, a letter from His Majesty."
Szeto Wah handed the letter to Jiang Zuo.
"Row."
Jiang Zuo said calmly, he just took the letter and put it in his arms without checking it immediately.
Looking up at Situ Hua, Jiang Zuo remembered something and said, "Situ Hua, I heard that your Qianqi Division is very capable of searching for intelligence."
Situ Hua was slightly stunned and said, "Who does your Excellency want me to investigate?"
Jiang Zuo whispered, "You should have met the two people who just left here, right?"
"Master Jiang, are you talking about the Ninth Prince and his men?" Situ Hua thought to himself, his expression unchanged. After a moment of silence, he said to Jiang Zuo, "I saw it too. Does your Excellency want to find out their identities?"
It seems that Lord Jiang really doesn't know the identity of the Ninth Prince.
Why do they like to hide their identities so much? Situ Hua felt helpless.
Jiang Zuo nodded and said, "Yes, these two are really weird. I am worried that they have other purposes."
Hearing this, Szeto Wah hesitated to speak.
Chen Xiu is the Ninth Prince, sent by the Emperor to assist Jiang Zuo, so naturally he has no other purpose.
After thinking for a moment, Situ Hua also understood.
Jiang Zuo and the Ninth Prince, are they testing each other?
"I must not let some people with ulterior motives ruin my plan to make money." Jiang Zuo said to himself.
After thinking about it, Jiang Zuo stood up and went to the street with Master Guo to deal with the demolition matter.
As for the letter from the emperor in my arms, well, there's no rush to read it.
Jiang Zuo seemed to gradually forget the real purpose of his coming to Jiangzhou City.
It's drizzling and keeps falling.
The gentle breeze brings some warmth.
Outside the mansion, in the alley.
Chen Xiu and Meng Cheng were hiding in the dark in the drizzle, observing everything in the mansion.
"Master, why don't we go back first? It's raining. Let's come back tomorrow."
Meng Cheng wiped the rain off his face.
Chen Xiu was quite stubborn and shook his head: "Jiang Zuo and that man were acting suspiciously just now. I think they are going to do something again. I want to find out for myself."
"Then Master, when will we reveal our identities to Jiang Zuo?"
Meng Cheng asked.
Chen Xiu was silent for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, I want to secretly collect more evidence of Jiang Zuo's crimes."
"What are Jiang Zuo's crimes? There were rumors that Jiang Zuo was secretly colluding with the people of Chen. I don't know if it's true or not. If it's true, then why was he still able to serve as the General of the Southern Expedition?"
Meng Cheng was quite confused.
Chen Xiu had also heard these rumors, but thinking that Jiang Zuo was someone the emperor trusted, Chen Xiu didn't quite believe it at first. But now that he saw him, he became more suspicious.
Just as he was thinking about that, the door of the mansion was pushed open, and Jiang Zuo and Master Guo walked out holding umbrellas.
"They're coming out."
Chen Xiu whispered, staring closely at Jiang Zuo's figure and followed him.
Jiang Zuo and his group arrived at the streets in the center of Jiangzhou City.
At this moment, among the pile of dilapidated houses, there was a group of officials surrounding a middle-aged man.
"I'd rather die than demolish it!"
I heard the man shout.
"Hu Laosan, that's enough. If you continue to make trouble, you will be sent to the government office."
At this time, Song Gaolang was also present and shouted harshly.
"If you force me, I will die in front of you."
Hu Laosan threatened to commit suicide.
The officials in the county government all stood there in a daze, totally at a loss as to how to deal with such a rude person.
If it were in the past, Song Gaolang would have sent Hu Laosan to jail long ago, but now with Lord Jiang's new decree, it is absolutely forbidden to take action against the civilians.
"You are such a troublemaker. You have already signed the agreement. What do you mean by going back on your word now?"
Song Gaolang was also anxious, as he had to deal with a lot of such troubles in recent days.
