After Jiang Taohua was taken back to the prefectural government by Wang Dafu, she was treated as a distinguished guest, and Wang Dafu treated Jiang Taohua like an ancestor.
Wang Dafu's tigress wife knew that Wang Dafu redeemed Jiang Taohua and brought Jiang Taohua back to his mansion in order to please Prince Jin, so she did not cause trouble for Jiang Taohua and was very respectful to her.
After Jiang Taohua stayed in Wang Dafu's mansion for three days, Jin Wang Long Jingyan's convoy arrived in Jiangzhou City on the afternoon of the fourth day.
Wang Dafu took his men to the city gate to greet him early. After waiting for about an hour, he finally saw the Prince of Jin's convoy arriving.
The leader was a man with a baby face wearing black clothes, and there was a carriage behind him.
Behind the carriage followed twenty guards riding tall horses. The guards were all dressed in black, with belts and swords. They looked majestic and imposing, and seemed extremely difficult to mess with.
The coachman was a tall and strong guard dressed in black. He had a sword at his belt and looked like a warrior.
Wang Dafu led his men to greet him and knelt in obeisance, "Jiangzhou Governor Wang Dafu greets His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin."
All his men knelt and saluted.
In the carriage, Long Jingyan sat with his eyes closed, resting. Hearing the sound of greetings coming from outside, he opened his eyes and said in a light voice, "Get up."
Hearing the sound of getting up from the carriage, Wang Dafu led his men to get up and cautiously said to the baby-faced man in the lead, "I have prepared accommodations for His Royal Highness Prince Jin. Please follow me to the residence."
This statement was exactly what they came here for, and Han Sui nodded without hesitation.
So Wang Dafu led Long Jingyan's convoy to his residence.
The carriage stopped at Wang Dafu's mansion, and all the guards riding black horses dismounted and stood neatly beside the carriage.
Han Sui, the leader, dismounted and said respectfully to the people in the carriage, "Your Highness, we're here."
A slender hand lifted the curtain of the carriage from the inside, and then a man, about twenty years old, came out of the carriage.
The man was wearing a dark-black suit with a brocade belt of the same color tied around his waist. His black hair was tied up and fixed with a golden crown.
He is extremely tall, with facial features as deep as a knife, angular contours, sharp black eyes, and a cold, arrogant, lonely and noble temperament. He has unparalleled nobility and domineering.
After seeing Long Jingyan's appearance, Wang Dafu thought to himself that the rumors were indeed true. His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin was truly a man of pine and cypress appearance, with the dignity of a noble king and the fierceness of a battle-hardened killer. He was so awe-inspiring without even being angry that people dared not look directly at his face.
Wang Dafu sighed inwardly, then stepped forward and said, "The sun is scorching. Your Highness, Prince Jin, please follow me in and rest."
Long Jingyan looked indifferent, and said "hmm" lightly, his tone full of indifference and alienation.
This Prince Jin seems difficult to get along with. Wang Dafu thought to himself, but he remained calm on the surface. He led Long Jingyan and his group into the mansion and personally led them to the separate courtyard he had prepared for them to rest.
"The prince likes quietness and doesn't like to be disturbed. Please leave." Han Sui said to Wang Dafu indifferently.
Wang Dafu nodded and agreed respectfully, "Yes, yes, I will withdraw now."
After Wang Dafu left, Han Sui came to the room where Long Jingyan lived. "Your Highness, I have asked Wang Dafu to leave. Your Highness, would you like me to send someone to monitor Wang Dafu?"
Long Jingyan's face was as cold and solemn as a knife. "Tell Ziming and Ziwu to monitor Wang Dafu. Report any signs of trouble to me immediately."
He was originally stationed in the northwest and was returning to Beijing to celebrate his father's birthday. On the way, he met a middle-aged couple who stopped him and complained to him.
He sued the Jiangzhou prefect for bullying people, corruption, selling illegal salt, and disregarding the lives of the people.
That's why he came here, ready to investigate all the bad things Wang Dafu had done and to expose all the people behind Wang Dafu.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang Dafu was also very worried that Long Jingyan would investigate him. After returning to his room, he called over his trusted confidant, Ah San, and said, "Ah San, tell everyone below to behave themselves and not do anything illegal."
"Yes, sir."
After giving instructions to Ah San, Wang Dafu called the housekeeper Liu and asked him to prepare a welcoming banquet for Long Jingyan.
After giving instructions to the housekeeper, he asked Xiaohong, the little maid who served him, to inform Jiang Taohua to prepare well and perform her talents for Long Jingyan at the welcoming banquet tonight.
Jiang Taohua listened to the servant's message and nodded, "I understand. You can leave now."
"Yes, Miss Jiang."
Xiaohong responded respectfully and then left.
After she left, Jiang Taohua began to prepare for tonight's performance.
