"What did you say? Turkic spies attacked the courier station, and His Highness King of Wei was taken away? "
In the back hall of the Bing Provincial Governor's Mansion in Taiyuan, Wang Liaoyuan was sitting in front of a table, anxiously waiting for the news of the bailiffs who had gone to the city to look for Wang Kui. Unexpectedly, he received such a "bad news". Wang Liaoyuan was so shocked that he stood up immediately.
Yes, this news was grievous news for him and all of Taiyuan's officialdom. The one who had come to deliver this news was none other than one of the yamen runners serving Constable Feng. Constable Feng's men had run into Li Junxian's group, so Constable Feng had volunteered to lead the way. Of course, while leading the way, Constable Feng had not forgotten to send a report back to the Governor's Residence so that Wang Liaoyuan could think of a countermeasure and mentally prepare himself!
"It's … it's like this. Moreover, Advisor Fang will be escorting Zhao Deyan here soon. I hear that he's accompanied by one hundred cavalry commanders!"
The yamen runner cautiously said upon seeing Wang Liaoyuan's nasty complexion.
"It's over! It's all over! "
Wang Liaoyuan's face was ghastly pale, and it was no exaggeration to say that he looked like he had lost his parents. A middle-aged man dressed as a scholar standing next to him began to console him.
"Milord, there is no need to be so pessimistic. The gates of Taiyuan City are tightly shut, and not even a fly can get out, much less a person! Now that Zhao Deyan is in Advisor Fang's hands, even if those Turkic spies capture His Highness, they won't dare to do anything to him! Moreover, they won't be able to leave Taiyuan City! In this case, we still have a chance to save His Highness!
In addition, His Highness was taken away by the Imperial Army. Even if His Majesty blames you, he won't be able to blame you! Milord has not made any major contributions in your administration, but neither have you made any minor mistakes. This Wu is confident that His Majesty will not punish you too harshly … "
"Shut your mouth!"
The first half of the middle-aged scholar's words had been reasonable, but the second half had taken a turn for the worse. Wang Liaoyuan couldn't help but interrupt.
"Since this official is the governor of a province, I have the responsibility to protect the people. Now that something has happened to the King of Wei under this official's jurisdiction, how can this official escape punishment? Besides, apart from His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness Wei Wang could be considered His Majesty's most favored prince. If something were to happen to His Highness in Taiyuan City, no one in Taiyuan City would be able to avoid censure!
Right now, the most important thing is to think of a way to rescue His Highness and not push the responsibility away. Since the Turkic spies were able to kidnap the King of Wei from the Imperial Army, this means that the Imperial Army must have suffered heavy losses tonight. If we push the blame to the Imperial Army, this official's conscience will not be at ease! "
Although Wang Liaoyuan was a conservative official and could be a bit stubborn sometimes, he still had the spirit of a scholar and a sense of justice in him!
"Provincial Governor, you are right. I have misspoken!"
The middle-aged scholar blushed at Wang Liaoyuan's words. He cupped his fists and apologized profusely.
Wang Liaoyuan was just about to say something when a clamor came from the front yard of the Provincial Governor's Residence. He sternly said, "It should be Advisor Fang. Let's go! Follow this official to the front yard! "
"Yes!"
The people in the room replied and followed Wang Liaoyuan to the front yard.
