After a stalemate between the two sides for a while, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a middle-aged man dressed in green, with a jade belt around his waist, a tall crown on his head, a whisk in his hand, and skin as white as a woman walked out.

"According to the Queen's order, bring Wang Zheng to Chang'an for an audience."

A shrill female-like voice echoed throughout the army, causing waves of chaos.

Wang Chengguo rode up with a sullen face, bowed to Zhu Guichen and said, "Wang Zheng killed the local county magistrate without authorization. I want to take him to Longzhou for investigation."

Zhu Guichen looked at Wang Chengguo and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am Wang Chengguo, the recorder of Longzhou."

Zhu Guichen smiled and said, "Then you, Wang Zheng, and other related people should all follow us to Chang'an. The right and wrong will be judged by the public. After all, the mission of the queen cannot be delayed."

Since Zhu Guichen dared to shout it out in public, it must be true. If it is false, Zhu Guichen would surely be killed without a burial place.

Wang Zheng bowed again and said, "I dare not. I am just worried that the correspondence may lead to the leakage of secrets. I sent two letters to you at the same time.

Zhu Guichen smiled and said, "They are two loyal servants. You can tell them something. It won't hurt to wait for a while."

Just as Wang Zheng was about to get on the car, Zhang San came running over on a horse in the distance, and Li Si followed closely behind him.

Wang Zheng laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, you are just following orders, you have done nothing wrong. Just stay in Longzhou at ease. No matter what the result is, it will definitely not involve you."

Wang Zheng nodded, bowed again and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir."

Wang Zheng received his badge from Zhu Guichen, and was considered Zhu Guichen's direct subordinate. This was a relationship that Wang Zheng's adoptive uncle Wang Xian had given to Wang Zheng. Although the imperial farm was small, it cost Wang Xian most of his life savings.

Wang Chengguo had no way to resist and had to obey the order. He had already submitted once, so he was not as resistant the second time.

Wang Chengguo, who had just returned after handing over the task, had a flash of panic in his eyes when he heard Zhu Guichen's words, but he quickly lowered his head to cover it up.

Wang Zheng thought about it and nodded, "Okay, you can stay in Jiangxin Island and continue to produce yellow paper, but you have to let the Ba people continue to guard the river bank to prevent others from spying.

"We can discuss these things later. You can leave with us now. We still have to go to the county and take a few people to Chang'an. Wang Zheng, you are weak, so you can get in the car with us first and let us take you for a ride."

Zhu Guichen pointed at Wang Zheng and laughed, "Hahaha, you are a cunning guy. You presented the yellow paper but didn't tell us how to make it. You also said someone was trying to steal it. You are deliberately trying to mess with us."

Zhang San thought about it carefully and said, "In that case, the master should take Li Si with him. This way, there will be someone to help run errands. I can take care of Jiangxinyu by myself and wait for the master to come back."

Wang Zheng smiled and explained, "The man in the carriage is our supporter. I'm fine now, but I have to go to Chang'an. You don't have to worry. Go back and take good care of Jiangxinyu and wait for me to come back."

Wang Chengguo's face darkened, "I am busy with official duties and have no time to go to Chang'an."

Wang Chengguo hesitated for a long time, then bowed again and said, "I will not trouble you, sir. I will follow you to Chang'an."

Wang Zheng took a few quick steps and stopped Zhang San and Li Si. If they continued to get closer, the other party might really be rude.

If Wang Chengguo dared to disobey the order at this time, he would also suffer a bad end. This is what is called "words become laws". Even if the emperor and the empress speak in the smallest voice, it will turn into thunder when it is heard.

After Wang Zheng finished his words of comfort to the soldiers, he strode to Zhu Guichen's carriage, bowed and saluted, saying: "I, Wang Zheng, pay my respects to you, Your Excellency. It has been more than three months since we last met in Chang'an, and you have become even more glorious."

Zhu Guichen smiled and said, "How about we go to Longzhou to talk to the governor, or talk to the chief steward of Lizhou Road, and ask them to give you some time? Is that okay?"

The soldiers on both sides looked at each other, untied Wang Zheng, and bowed and said, "I'm sorry."

Hehe, someone actually reached into the Imperial Post Station, this matter needs to be investigated thoroughly."

Wang Zheng saw that Zhu Guichen's two followers had already started to draw their bows and draw their arrows, and immediately shouted hurriedly: "Don't shoot, these are my two servants on Jiangxin Island."

At the very least, you need a minister of the level of Changsun Wuji, who can still struggle if he has reasons.

Wang Zheng, who saw all this, smiled and said to the soldiers escorting him: "Did you see that? You will be in trouble if you join the army. His behavior is not in accordance with Tang law. This time when he goes to Chang'an, I will make sure he never returns."

After Zhangsun Wuji is killed in a few years, the authority of the emperor and the empress will reach its peak. By then, even the heads of the five surnames and seven clans in the world will have to keep their tails between their legs.

It can be seen from the way he addressed himself that Wang Chengguo surrendered. In public, Wang Chengguo had no choice but to surrender, otherwise he would not be the only one who would be in trouble.

With the power of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, let alone a small Wang Chengguo, even an ordinary military commander would not be able to withstand the wrath of thunder.

Zhu Guichen narrowed his eyes and said, "We did receive the letters from Kuizhou Road, but we did not receive the letters from Lizhou Road, which is a shorter distance.

Seeing that Wang Chengguo had surrendered, Zhu Guichen stopped making things difficult and said with a smile, "In that case, you can hand over the military power to your deputy, and then leave with us. The queen may be waiting anxiously, so we'd better hurry up."

Zhang San jumped off his horse and asked anxiously, "Master, where are you going?"

Logically, you should have received the letter from Lizhou Road first, and then the letter from Kuizhou Road. I wonder if you have received both letters?"

The most crucial part among these is the "Empress's oral order". In the entire Tang Dynasty, only the Empress can be called Empress. Even if it is just an oral order, it is an imperial decree.

If it's urgent, burn down the workshop to prevent the method of making yellow paper from leaking out. This method is still very important to us in the short term."

Zhang San nodded and said, "I understand. Master, don't worry. I can take care of everything."

Wang Zheng smiled and nodded, "You are smart. Although the yellow paper is important, it is not as important as human life. Remember to ensure your own safety first.

When I get to the county, I might get some silver from Cheng Bokang for self-defense. I'll write him a note and ask you to help me pay it. Can you do that?"

Zhang San nodded, "The master's handwriting is easy to recognize, I can do it."
