The chief officer looked at Qu Yutang's determined expression, pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and stood aside helplessly.
If someone can sit in the position of an official, he must be capable, patient and adaptable.
If he was an imperial envoy and was treated so badly by a small local official, he would have taken the officials and rushed in to kill him.
Since Magistrate Deng had not openly said that he wanted to rebel, he did not believe that Magistrate Deng would really dare to kill the imperial envoy.
After killing the imperial envoy, there is really no turning back for Governor Deng.
He couldn't understand why Qu Yutang was so patient and forced them to suffer for so many days in Qianhuang City.
Now he was blocking the gate of the prefectural yamen, and was being ignored by the small prefect. He couldn't swallow this humiliation.
Qu Yutang clenched his back teeth and clenched his hands tightly behind his back.
He will make Deng Yushan repay today's humiliation a thousand times in the future.
He must go before Emperor Tianwu and sue Deng Yushan for the crime of disrespecting the emperor.
Just as Qu Yutang was thinking about the scene of Deng Yushan being beaten with fifty boards by Emperor Tianwu and dragged out to be beheaded, Deng Yushan, who had eaten and drunk his fill, walked out at a leisurely pace.
"Oh, isn't this Lord Qu? I'm sorry for not welcoming you. What a sin!"
Deng Yushan was quite polite in his words, but he showed no guilt in his actions, and he didn't even salute Qu Yutang.
Qu Yutang took a deep breath and glared at Deng Yushan.
"Lord Deng is so arrogant! I'm afraid I don't have the qualifications to enter the prefectural government office."
"Haha!" Deng Yushan twitched his lips and smiled, "Master Qu, you are too kind."
"Please come in, Lord Qu. My prince wants to see you."
Deng Yushan saw that Qu Yutang was very angry and was too lazy to talk to him.
He has so much else to do.
King Qianhuang will have to go out for something soon, so who has so much time to chat with Qu Yutang?
"Your Majesty!?" Qu Yutang looked at Deng Yushan in confusion. "How come I didn't know that the Prince had arrived?"
Before he came to Qianhuang City, he was absolutely sure that no prince would come.
After he arrived in Qianhuang City, he never saw any prince coming to Qianhuang City again.
The prince’s trip would certainly be a grand occasion. If the prince came after him, he would not be unaware of it.
Deng Yushan raised his eyebrows in surprise and smiled, "Master Qu will know when he goes in."
Good heavens, Qu Yutang has been spending so many days in Qianhuang City in vain.
After so long, I still didn’t know that there was a Qianhuang King in Qianhuang City.
He was now truly certain that the officers were actually working, and they didn't even intend to hear such public news.
That's really funny.
He always thought that Qu Yutang already knew that there was a Qianhuang King in Qianhuang City, so Qu Yutang had been hiding in the post station and could not come out.
The relationship has been going on for a long time, but this guy still doesn't know about it.
The reason why Qu Yutang stayed at the post station for so many days is that he must be sick.
"......Okay!" Qu Yutang looked at Deng Yushan in a daze, and nodded after a long time.
Now that he was there, he went in to see which prince it was.
As Qu Yutang walked towards the gate of the prefectural yamen, a group of officials immediately followed him.
Deng Yushan frowned and looked at the dozens of officials, "Sir Qu, have your men wait in the yard."
How can it be possible for so many people to go to King Qianhuang's courtyard together?
The prince doesn't meet everyone.
Qu Yutang paused, frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at the chief official.
"Just wait at the door!"
The chief officer moved his lips twice, met Qu Yutang's eyes, and immediately swallowed his words of rebuttal.
"Yes! Your Excellency is waiting at the gate of the prefectural government office."
Qu Yutang nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at Deng Yushan, "Let's go, Lord Deng."
Deng Yushan curled his lips and smiled, "Please come in, Master Qu!"
Qu Yutang snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and strode towards the prefectural government office.
Deng Yushan raised his eyebrows, put his hands behind his back and followed with a smile.
At this moment, he was particularly curious about Qu Yutang's expression when he found out that King Qianhuang was Chen Yong.
It’s a pity that he couldn’t see this scene.
He could only send Qu Yutang to the door of King Qianhuang's study.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy, Lord Qu, has arrived!"
Deng Yushan walked to the door of the study, bowed and shouted towards the room.
"....Come in!"
A low voice came from the study. Deng Yushan looked at Qu Yutang, who was puzzled and dissatisfied.
"Master Qu, please come in!"
Qu Yutang looked at Deng Yushan deeply, raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then gently pushed open the door.
When he walked into the study, he saw a man sitting at the desk reading a book.
Qu Yutang frowned. Looking at the back, he really couldn't tell which prince it was.
"Your humble servant Qu Yutang pays homage to His Majesty!"
No matter which prince he is, he still has to observe proper etiquette.
He is not like Deng Yushan, who is so bold and disrespectful of the imperial power.
Qu Yutang shook his sleeves, knelt down respectfully and bowed deeply.
Chen Yong raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned around and put the blueprint on the table, looking at Qu Yutang who was lying on the ground and bowing, with a smile on his face.
"Qu Yutang, long time no see!!"
Qu Yutang was slightly stunned. Hearing the slightly unfamiliar voice, he looked up at the desk in confusion.
The moment he saw Shen Yong's face, Qu Yutang suddenly stopped.
His eyes widened in shock, his mouth open wide enough to fit two eggs.
“You…you are…”
Qu Yutang stared straight at Chen Yong, his bulging eyeballs motionless, and after a long while, he squeezed out those two words that made him unbelievable from his trembling mouth.
“Shen…Shen Yong!!?”
How is it possible!!!?
After saying these two words, Qu Yutang felt like he was hallucinating.
How could Chen Yong appear in Qianhuang City?
The Shen family is on the road to exile.
Oh, yes, he heard that the Shen family injured the palace guards and escaped, but it was impossible for them to gain a foothold in Qianhuang City so quickly.
Looking at Deng Yushan's respectful attitude towards Chen Yong, it was obvious that he had already joined Chen Yong.
Then the expansion of the city wall of Qianhuang City started because of Chen Yong's arrival.
Thinking of this, Qu Yutang was even more shocked.
The time doesn't match. It wasn't long ago that Shen Yong left the capital. How could he have arrived in Qianhuang City?
Qu Yutang was confused. He stared at Chen Yong in a daze, his mind a mess.
Could it be that the person in front of me just looks like Chen Yong, but is not actually Chen Yong?
There are many similar people in this world, maybe he was mistaken.
