This auspicious sign only appeared for a moment and then disappeared. Zhuangzi regained his calm, as if nothing had happened.

Governor Yang snorted coldly, stepped forward with his hands behind his back, and said, "Those in charge, come out!"

The patrolling servants turned a blind eye and looked straight ahead, as if they had not heard what Governor Yang said.

Governor Yang was extremely angry and waved his hands behind him.

Xiao Wu had been observing this side. Upon seeing Governor Yang's instructions, he quickly led fifty elite soldiers over.

A group of elite soldiers, fully armed, with long swords in hand, looked quite imposing. They stood behind Governor Yang to support him.

Governor Yang was originally very small in stature, and he looked even smaller standing in front of a group of soldiers who were eight feet tall.

He straightened his back and narrowed his eyes. "The government is here to inspect. Call out your manager immediately."

The patrolling servants finally paid half of their attention, and one of them ran away from the team, probably to call for help.

Gu Wei was deeply shocked.

Although after listening to Yu Yichou's words, he knew that the Tu family was arrogant.

But I didn't expect it to come to this.

A group of servants dared to ignore the governor of a city.

You know, even the noble families in the capital cannot look down on officials of the rank of the prefect.

It is true that the emperor is far away and the imperial power cannot reach the local areas, so these aristocratic families dominate the market.

Gu Wei felt a little worried about Lingnan, where he was about to take up the post.

Lingnan is more remote, and this phenomenon is probably more serious.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a shrewd face walked over, his inverted triangle eyes revealing a cruel look.

From a distance, he looked surprised, "Oh, what wind brought the governor here?"

Governor Yang snorted coldly, "It's been ten days. When are you, the Tu family, going to let us in?"

The steward raised his eyebrows, "Why do you want to go in? Sir, this farm is the private territory of my Tu family, and outsiders are not allowed to enter."

Yu Yi gathered his sleeves and said coldly, "The whole world belongs to the king. Long Rui has occurred here, and the court wants to enter. You have no right to stop it! If you do this again, we will use violence."

"Where is Long Rui?" The steward turned around and asked the servants behind him, "Have you seen Long Rui? I, Tu An, have been here for so many years, but I have never seen any Long Rui! Is there something wrong with your eyes, sirs? I know an excellent doctor, do you want me to recommend him to you?"

“I didn’t see it!”

The group of servants answered loudly, their voices shaking the heavens.

Yang Taishou's hands were shaking. "You really are going too far!"

Xiaowu was so angry that his chest heaved up and down, and the long sword in his hand was half unsheathed.

The servants on the opposite side also all drew their swords. For a moment, the atmosphere was tense and stagnant.

The manager suddenly laughed dryly and winked, "If you want to go in, there are ways."

Gu Wei frowned, "What do you mean?"

The steward stroked his beard and raised his chin, "Only the bloodline of the Tu family can enter this manor. Although you are not a member of the Tu family, but considering that you are an official, as long as you are willing to change your surname and clan name and become a member of my Tu family bloodline, I can reluctantly let you in.

But I'll make it clear first, you can only be the youngest generation, which means you have to call me grandpa, how about it, do you want to come in?"

Xiao Wu couldn't bear it anymore and swung his sword fiercely, "The governor, the national teacher and others are extremely noble, how dare you say that!"

The manager also had some kung fu experience, so he dodged and said, "I'm sincerely giving you advice, what do you mean by this? So many people have knelt down and begged me, calling me grandpa, but I can't get what I want!"

Governor Yang had a gloomy look on his face, Xiao Wu bared his teeth, and he wanted to rush over and cut the manager into pieces.

Gu Wei grabbed Xiao Wu's arm and whispered, "Don't be impulsive."

Xiaowu put away the knife angrily.

After the manager finished speaking, he turned and left.

The group of servants arrogantly made a disdainful gesture towards Xiaowu and quickly closed the small door next to the fence.

Gu Wei pulled everyone under the awning and whispered, "With the Tu family in this state, it's useless to rely on words. We can only rely on fists."

Governor Yang frowned, looking somewhat frustrated. "But the Tu family's guards are all highly skilled in martial arts. I roughly estimated that there are about five to six thousand of them. And it is rumored that they also have a very lethal weapon. Once it is released, it can cause tens of thousands of casualties..."

After a pause, Governor Yang whispered, "I don't want my soldiers to get hurt. Each of them has a family."

Governor Yang's voice became smaller and smaller. He huddled up in a ball, holding his chin. "I know that as a governor, I am too soft-hearted."

Gu Wei patted Governor Yang on the shoulder and was about to comfort him when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

Gu Wei quickly tugged at Xie Ling's sleeve and pointed at the red shadow in front of the fence not far away.

The woman in red was holding a long whip in her hand. Even in profile she looked extremely arrogant, with her chin slightly raised and her eyes on the top of her head.

The patrolling soldier quickly ran over to open the door for her. The woman didn't even glance over here the whole time. She crossed her arms and walked in proudly.

Xie Ling nodded, "It's the woman on the beach."

Gu Wei sneered, "It turns out to be an old enemy."

After thinking for a moment, Gu Wei turned around and said to the worried-looking Governor Yang, "Sir Yang, are you willing to hand over your troops to me? I can help you take down the Tu family without letting your men get hurt."

Gu Wei said this after careful consideration.

After all, no one is willing to share power with others.

Gu Wei was prepared to be rejected.

Unexpectedly, Governor Yang's eyes lit up, "Brother Shi Jin, are you really willing to help me take on this hot potato? You are really my benefactor! I am worried about how to explain this to the court. I have been so anxious these days that my hair has turned a lot white!"

As he said this, he hurriedly took out a small military token from his sleeve, as if he was afraid that Gu Wei would change his mind.

"From now on, you are the governor of Jiaozhou City. All the soldiers in Jiaozhou obey your orders! Xiaowu, Xiaowu, come here quickly!"

Gu Wei couldn't help laughing. This Governor Yang was really... too naive.

He hadn't met someone like this in a long time.

It is rare for such a person to survive safely in the treacherous officialdom.

Xiaowu was also happy. His master was good in every way except that he was too soft.

It was obvious at first glance that Zhou Shijing was a fierce guy, and he would definitely lead them to charge and kill the enemy! Break through this damn Tu family!

Gu Wei bowed his hands and said, "Thank you all for your kindness. Now the first step is for everyone to return to the governor's mansion. Sir Yang, I plan to withdraw all the soldiers and let them relax their vigilance first."

Yang Taishou nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I'll listen to you, all of it!"

On the other side, after Tu Man entered the manor, he went straight to Tu An's yard, slapped his long whip, and said sternly: "Uncle An, lend me a thousand soldiers! And give me the explosive weapon!"

Tu An frowned, "What's wrong with Manman? Who has offended you? Not only do you want a thousand soldiers, but you also want explosive weapons. Do you know the power of explosive weapons?"
