If he hadn't been warned beforehand, the prefect would have dealt with him long ago!

Ji Wenxuan naturally saw it. He did it on purpose. He knew there was something fishy about this, and he didn't know what had happened to that Pang Da that made him fill the vacancy!

If he doesn't bring it up again and again, how can he find out more information? And how can he appear foolish and reassure these people?

Moreover, judging from the attitude of these two people when they came in, it can be said that this matter could not be left to him, or that his presence would bring the greatest benefit!

Moreover, they still have many uncertainties about themselves, and because of these uncertainties, they would never kill themselves!

So he jumped around in the governor's minefield a couple more times!

Seeing the prefect's increasingly dark face, Prefect Shi quickly pulled back the reckless Ji Wenxuan!

“Magistrate Ji! Everyone is working together to resist the foreign enemy, and I also have my own matters to attend to. There is really no one more suitable than you!”

"And you don't need to worry about your adopted sister! Just let them stay comfortably in the prefect's mansion; the prefect will certainly take good care of them!"

"I believe that for the greater good of the nation, you will certainly not refuse!"

Ji Wenxuan found it somewhat amusing that the matter was being brought up with national righteousness, and what he said clearly contained a threat. Placing Lin Ru and the others in the prefect's mansion was no different from a general leading troops in battle while his relatives in the capital were kept in check!

That sounds nice, but it doesn't!

He knew that this was something he couldn't refuse; it was either death or death!

Of course he chose to go!

This is exactly what I wanted. Once I get to the military camp, it will be much more legitimate for me to manage both the conscripts and the soldiers!

This can also pave the way for future plans!

Lin Ru can handle this herself!

Although he was more than willing in his heart, he didn't show it on his face!

And she even acted all timid and submissive!

"My lord, my past actions were ultimately illegitimate and without proper justification!"

The governor's patience has been completely exhausted!

His voice was somewhat cold and hard. "Don't worry! I will write you an official document with an official seal, stating that you will temporarily serve as the Commandant of the Prefecture!"

Ji Wenxuan knew that this was the greatest benefit he could obtain at the moment!

After all, it's not something a mere prefect like him can decide to actually take over as commandery commander!

So he could only manage a forced smile!

"Alright then! It's my duty to share the burdens of the country!"

"But my adopted sister..."

Prefect: "Don't worry, I'll take good care of them!"

Ji Wenxuan seemed slightly comforted, "That's good, that's good!"

"But I promised them I'd have lunch with them today!"

"Can I go after lunch?"

"As you said yourself, Prince Shun won't attack anytime soon!"

"I also want to go back and say goodbye to them!"

After the conversation just now, the prefect really didn't want to see Ji Wenxuan!

Upon hearing this, he waved his hand repeatedly to dismiss him!

"Okay! Then you can go back first! You can also pack your things!"

Ji Wenxuan smiled, bowed, and then turned and left!

After he left, the prefect was so angry that he smashed the teacup next to him!

"That idiot!"

"All you do is ask questions!"

"I can't tell the difference in their eyebrows or eyes at all!"

"No wonder he was sent down to be a minor official!"

"If I were his father, I'd be furious to death!"

"Look at how stupid he is!"

Prefect Shi was startled and said with a forced smile, "My lord, please calm down! Look at him, he's so young, he probably hasn't suffered much before, he's just a child!"

"It's normal that you can't read between the lines!"

"After all, his father's official position is high enough!"

"That's the Minister of Personnel, who has the power to appoint and dismiss officials. Nobody dares to offend him, so they quickly flatter and fawn over him, which naturally leads to his personality!"

"But that's fine! It makes things easier to utilize!"

The prefect finally calmed down a little!

Suddenly a servant announced from outside: "Reporting to your master! The madam has arrived! She says she wants to see you!"

Upon hearing this, the governor's brows furrowed into a tight knot!

He naturally knew why his wife had come, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed. He wondered how many people this woman had planted around him. He had specifically instructed her not to tell her about Pang Da's death, but he hadn't expected that she would arrive in less than an hour!

Seeing the change in the prefect's expression, Prefect Shi quickly stood up and took his leave!

"My lord! Now that Madam has arrived, I will take my leave and will not disturb you any longer!"

"I still have some things to do!"

"We need to make arrangements immediately!"

The prefect simply waved his hand and said nothing more!

As Prefect Shi went out, he brushed past the imposing Prefect's wife!

Once he had walked a little further away, he could hear the wailing and commotion inside!

He gently patted his chest!

I'm glad I walked fast!

The prefect and his wife were childhood sweethearts and had the same temper. They were unpredictable and would suddenly get angry at any time. They also loved to smash things, and they didn't care if anyone was around when they started smashing things!

Once, an official thought he could use his silver tongue to persuade the governor's wife, but he was instead killed by two people who smashed him with a vase!

From then on, he was always trembling with fear whenever he came here!

I'm afraid these two will go crazy~

Meanwhile, Ji Wenxuan quickly returned to the courtyard where they lived!

When he pushed open the door, Lin Ru and the others were sitting outside drinking tea. If you ignored the probing and wary looks on the faces of the maids and guards standing nearby, it was a pleasant scene!

Lin Ru was overjoyed to see that Ji Wenxuan had finally returned!

He stood up, smiled, and walked forward!

"Brother Ji, you're finally back!"

"What business does the Prefect have with you?"

"Why did it take you so long?"

Ji Wenxuan patted her shoulder with a proud look on his face!

"The Prefect has appointed me to replace Lord Pang as the Commandant of the Commandery!"

Lin Ru looked both happy and surprised!

"My God! Brother, you're amazing! This official position must be quite high-ranking!"

"The governor is so kind to you!"

"I admire you so much!"

"We must do our best! We can't let the adults down!"

Ji Wenxuan walked to the stone table, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp!

Then he sat down on the stone bench in a very unrestrained manner!

"Of course!"

"Little sister, don't worry!"

"Big brother will definitely not let you down!"

"From now on, I'll treat you to the best food and drinks every day!"

"Oh, right! You little maid over there! Go tell the kitchen to make us extra good food for lunch!"

"After this meal, I'll be taking up my post!"
