Chapter 199
Jiang Yan, who had recovered from the "blow", carried all his belongings and walked out of the city.
When she passed by a bookstore, she saw at a glance the bookshelves that she had polished to a shine and the books that had been rearranged, and then the shopkeeper gave her a cunning smile.
Jiang Yan blinked and looked away. She couldn't outwit this middle-aged man, so she gave in.
When they were almost at the city gate, it was already past noon, and Jiang Yan discovered that there were still many people gathered near the city gate.
If the shops along the street provide ordinary people with a communication wall for private communication, then every county gate, market entrance and exit, and other crowded places have official bulletin boards.
Jiang Yan quickly walked to the edge of the crowd and listened attentively to the content of the announcement read aloud by the people in the inner circle and the vernacular translation of it.
The full text of the announcement was 837 words, and it took her a full quarter of an hour to listen to it.
When the repetitive content sounded again, Jiang Yan ran to the city gate as fast as she could. She had a bad feeling that if she was delayed on the road any longer, she would never be able to return home.
-----------------
Commander Mo had just finished practicing martial arts in the morning when the rare guest Governor Han Ping came to discuss the matter in detail.
He originally thought that he came to make a fuss about the disposition of Wu Guipin and Wu Fusui, but he did not expect that Governor Han would present him with a handwritten letter.
Commander Mo unfolded the paper, confused, and was immediately shocked by the contents. He shook the paper, looked at Governor Han, and asked, "Could this be written by you?"
After receiving Han Zhishi's affirmative response, Commander Mo stared at him and looked him up and down for a long time. Finally, he asked in disbelief, "Are you crazy or just can't get over it? You want to break up with the Wu family?"
To be honest, if Wu Dande had not forced the unknown Han Ping to the position of Governor of Zhongyuan Prefecture a few years ago, Mo Xian, a general who had been guarding the border for a long time, might not have known that there was such a fifth-rank civil servant in the capital.
When he was transferred to Zhongyuan Prefecture as the governor, Mo Xian's impression that Governor Han Ping was Wu Dande's loyal lackey was deeply rooted to this day.
The chief officials of all the prefectures in Northern Jin knew that for every important decision made by Han Ping, the governor of Zhongyuan Prefecture, he had to write a letter to seek Wu Dande's opinion; Han Ping was extremely tolerant and forgiving towards the Wu family.
Not to mention that Wu Dande was going to send troops into Zhongyuan Prefecture not long ago to search for some officials and their families who had escaped from the capital, so Han Ping secretly helped them. If Mo Xian's subordinates had not arrived in time to drive them out of Zhongyuan Prefecture, who knows how much killing would have been committed.
Now Han Ping suddenly publicly declared that "Wu Shande is a traitor and a villain, and the whole world has the right to punish him." Governor Mo did not believe it at all, but he could give it a push.
Commander Mo stood up and walked in front of Han Ping. He pressed down on his shoulders with both palms and said with a smile: "Would the governor be willing to play in the dungeon of my governor's office for a few days?"
Han Ping's expression was impassive, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. With this attitude, could he say no? He had already prepared himself for detention by coming to the Governor's Mansion and presenting such a handwritten document.
Han Ping raised his eyes and asked, "Will the governor punish me?"
"The Governor is a distinguished guest, so naturally he won't."
"Then lead the way."
-----------------
Within just half a day of posting the letter of appeal from Han, the governor of Zhongyuan Prefecture, the entire letter had reached the ears of the chief officials in the capital and neighboring prefectures.
For a moment, everyone was either shocked or sneered.
In the imperial city, Wu Dande still didn't know that Wu Fusui and Wu Guipin had been detained by Mo Xian and traded to other people.
With an expressionless face, he tore up the copied letter of complaint in his hand and scattered it all over the floor, then suddenly smashed the table and ornaments in the room to pieces.
Wu Shande vented his anger for a while, then stared with a sinister look at the little emperor who was howling in fear.
After a long while, Wu Shande ordered, "Go and deal with those who betrayed me."
