In fact, there was no need for them to spread the news. The news of Zhao He's departure had already spread in Dahuang City. At least many people involved already knew about it.
This was not because the county officials were well-informed, nor was it because Zhao He had made arrangements in advance.
But Zhao Dang had no intention of hiding it at all.
As soon as Zhao He left, he immediately led his men and horses in a high-profile manner and headed straight for the Dahuang City Posthouse.
There was no concealment along the way, and the officials were surprised at first, wondering why the Prince of Qi was replaced?
After asking around, I found out that Zhao He had already left.
Things turned out just as Zhao Xin and others had expected.
These people originally thought that Crown Prince Zhao He was their new master, and from then on they were the King of Qi's people.
Naturally, no one would buy Zhang Yuan's account.
No one even came to visit the county magistrate's office. He spent the whole day drinking and feasting with Zhao He in the prince's camp.
He completely regarded himself as a subject of the Prince of Qi.
But they didn't expect that Zhao He would leave without even saying goodbye.
In fact, it’s not Zhao He’s fault. He was also caught off guard by Zhao Dang’s arrival.
When he left, he pretended to leave sadly, so naturally he couldn't go to greet the county officials in a high-profile manner.
Besides, it was impossible for him to tell all his plans to these people. What if they bought him out?
But in this case, these officials couldn't help but panic.
Now they have even abandoned Zhang Yuan, and originally planned to become the vassal of the King of Qi in the future.
When the army of King Qi arrives, they will naturally be considered to have surrendered, and they will certainly receive a lot of rewards.
But now Zhao He is gone, and was squeezed out by another prince. This feels a bit unreliable.
The first reaction of the officials was to visit Zhao Dang immediately.
They are all princes anyway. Since the crown prince is unreliable, the seventh prince is the same.
It must be said that although Zhao He's move of switching from open to covert successfully allowed him to hide from the open to the dark, its drawbacks were also revealed here.
If Zhao Dang had been a little smarter and shown respect to these people at this time, then these people whom he had worked so hard to win over would have been used as a wedding dress by Zhao Dang.
However, this seventh prince, despite having the princess's protection and the favor of the King of Qi, still couldn't defeat Zhao He. There was a reason for this.
This person actually ignored these officials when they came to visit him.
I even felt that these people were so blind that they were willing to join forces with that bastard Aha, and they were definitely not good people.
This kind of trash should get away from me.
Moreover, he is now in a hurry to find the owner of Hangjiabao and get the treasure of Emperor Yu. Then his father will naturally know how useless Ah He is.
As for the officials of Dahuang County, as long as my father's army arrives, will they dare not surrender? In this case, why should I pretend to be nice to them?
Only Ah He is afraid to do his job and spends all day doing useless things.
It has to be said that Zhao He probably had already seen through the Seventh Prince a long time ago, so he was fearless.
However, this would put these officials in a difficult position. They were about to surrender, but suddenly there was no target for surrender. What should they do?
At this moment, Zhang Yuan's men arrived and issued an order to summon all county officials to the county magistrate's office to discuss recent major events in the county.
When everyone saw this decree, they were surprised that the prefect of Qingtan suddenly became concerned about the important affairs of the county.
If it were before, no one would buy it.
But now everyone is feeling anxious and uneasy.
If the surrender fails and the former lord summons you, and you don't go, then both sides will lose everything.
If the Prince of Qi is really useless, then Zhang Yuan can be a way out.
Thinking of this, many officials hesitated for a moment and then walked into the county magistrate's office one after another.
At the same time, Zhao He, who was hiding in the Duwei Mansion, also received the news that Zhang Yuan had summoned all the officials and was also surprised.
"I don't know if Zhang Yuan took the wrong medicine, but he suddenly remembered to gather all his officials to discuss something important. Haha, that Qingtan County Magistrate actually knows about the county's major events."
Captain Zheng Hong, who also received the news, could not help but sneer.
Although he was also one of the giants in the county, he was actually Zhang Yuan's subordinate. Not only was his salary only two thousand stones, but Zhang Yuan was the prince with two thousand stones.
In terms of subordinate relations, he also has to respect Zhang Yuan's leadership to a certain extent.
But he was very disdainful of Zhang Yuan.
Zhao He held the letter in his hand, but couldn't help frowning and shaking his head when he heard the words.
"If I'm not mistaken, the person giving orders in the County Magistrate's Mansion is probably no longer Zhang Yuan."
"If it's not Zhang Yuan, then who is it?"
Zheng Hong was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Didn't they say before that someone broke into the County Magistrate's Mansion? It's very likely Cao Xiong, the eunuch in charge of the East Depot who was said to have appeared in Dahuang City."
Zhao He frowned slightly and said nothing, but the eunuch next to him made a guess.
Although this person was just a eunuch, he was also Zhao He's confidant. Moreover, relying on his age and the long time he had accompanied Zhao He, although he was loyal to Zhao He, he was a little eccentric when facing other people in Zhao He's faction.
He actually interrupted in such an occasion.
However, although Zhao He's subordinates gave him some face for Zhao He's sake, no one really cared about him.
Zheng Hong was subconsciously startled and said, "Cao Xiong? No way! Even if Zhang Yuan is a loser, he is still a local lord. How could he obey the orders of a eunuch?"
