"Who is this lady?" Governor Tu Haoyang looked at Luo Lan Hill standing beside him.
"This is Jialan, the representative of the Zhuori Xiangyu Sect." In order to enhance the girl's persuasiveness, Bu Moyin deliberately elevated her status.
"Is that so..." Tu Haoyang paused for a moment, and the staff member behind him leaned over and whispered in his ear.
"I have heard of Fairy Jinhua of the Xiangyu Sect, but I have never heard of this young lady's name. Perhaps I am ignorant." His voice was deep and was not affected by the girl's appearance.
This governor seems to have an extremely tough and realistic character, Mo Yin sighed inwardly. Even when she first saw Jia Lan's face beneath the mask, she was surprised for a few seconds, but this lord remained calm and even expressed doubts about Luo Lanxi's identity.
"I am indeed a disciple of the Xiangyu Sect. As for my identity, it is actually ordinary. It is normal that I am not known by the adults." Loran Hill shook her head. She had not intended to rely on the name of the faction to bully others.
Seeing that the girl was so frank, Tu Haoyang had a better impression of her. He always liked pragmatic and smart people, rather than those who were full of morality and stubborn and rigid.
"Although Inspector Bu has his own ideas and suggestions, sending troops to the Sunset Mountains is no small matter. If we are not careful, we will be charged with usurping military power, being ambitious, and wasting people's money and resources." The governor explained briefly with his spare patience.
"But is this comparable to the lives and property of hundreds of thousands of people? If we sit back and do nothing, how many people will die in the turmoil?" Bu Moyin finally couldn't help but blame the governor.
But this time, Tu Haoyang simply didn't respond. He let Bu Moyin speak while he drank tea leisurely.
Seeing the governor's contemptuous look, Bu Moyin suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.
"Tu Haoyang, do you know that you have made a big mistake?" There was a hint of coldness in her voice, and she called him by his name.
"What's the matter?" This time, the governor also raised his eyes, with a cold look in his eyes.
"You knew full well of what was happening in the Sunset Mountains, yet you kept it secret and allowed your own soldiers to spread rumors and drive the people away, thus evading your duties."
"If the Lord knew about this act of deceiving the Emperor and neglecting his duties, would you dare to accept his censure?"
"Oh, Envoy Bu, do you have any evidence? If you falsely accuse a good minister, not only will he be dismissed from his post and exiled thousands of miles away, but even your Bu family will be implicated. You. Have. Think. About. This." His voice was extremely deep and slow, like piercing ice, slowly coming towards him.
"Of course I have evidence."
Bu Moyin quickly recalled the information he had learned from Li Yinchen before going to the shrine, and finally focused his thoughts on a captain of the Black Leopard Cavalry whom he had met in the small town of Youcen.
When she was leaving Youcen, she had specifically asked the captain about the Sunset Mountains. He replied that everything was safe and sound, except that there were occasional wild ghosts disturbing the people, and they were ordered to patrol and drive them away.
But in reality, if one had only taken a stroll around the Sunset Mountains, how could one not know what was going on there? And this captain was clearly deceiving him.
"I saw it in the border town of 'Youcen'..." Bu Moyin said.
The 'Black Leopard Cavalry' were the personal guards of the governor Tu Haoyang. To say that their actions were not under the governor's control was simply an insult to their intelligence. When he said this, Tu Haoyang frowned slightly.
"For this purpose, I even left a special sound." Bu Moyin picked up the golden pendant at his waist. The intricate patterns around it and the lamppost in the middle also reflected a faint golden light in the candlelight.
As members of a supervisory agency, they naturally record information and evidence at all times, and the tokens issued by Xuanhua Mansion also come with such a recording function. It's said that if you input magical power, it can even record some images.
While this incident wasn't a major one and wouldn't completely bring down the governor, it was a different time. Many hostile eyes were fixed on Tu Haoyang. If he mishandled the situation, his reputation within the court would plummet, making it difficult for him to return to Luojing or advance. He might even be trapped in this border prefecture for the rest of his life.
Tu Haoyang closed his eyes slightly, tapping slowly on the table with his fingertips, seemingly speechless, while Bu Moyin opposite him showed a slight joy, it seemed that he had found the weakness of this governor.
After a long time, Tu Haoyang opened his eyes, waved to the staff around him, gave a few instructions, and then spoke to the two of them.
"I recalled the recent rotation schedule. The captain the envoy mentioned might be in the provincial capital today. I have just instructed the butler to inquire about him, and he will be back soon." He opened the tea lid, took another sip, then closed his eyes and rested, unwilling to speak again.
Seeing the tense situation in the hall, Loran Hill shook his head secretly. He didn't dare to blame Bu Moyin. After all, there was a difference between the main and the secondary. He could only pick up the tea beside him, drink it in small sips, and then wait slowly.
[Bi Hai Qing] (Excellent Gold): Originated from exceptional tea trees (Gold Grade) on islands in the South China Sea, this tea is roasted through several special techniques. It was presented as tribute to the emperor and often given to ministers as a reward. It has a calming and calming effect, relieving anxiety and providing moderate benefits for spiritual practice. (Gain the [Calming Level 3] effect, lasting two hours.)
Seeing the information displayed in front of him, Loran Hill also became a little interested. He slowly drank the tea and wondered whether he should cultivate some tea trees himself in the future.
While waiting, the sky outside gradually darkened. At the butler's instruction, waiters brought in tall copper candlesticks one after another and placed them in the hall, illuminating the room brightly, just like daylight.
At this time, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard outside the hall, and some sounds of armor colliding could be heard.
