In their opinion, the reason why this young inspector was promoted so quickly all the way was, to put it bluntly, not because he relied on his royal status.

Just caught up with a few big battles and played some roles, and the promotion in the future was logical.

If it was really as rumored, the northern Daei cavalry was defeated, and the prince Fuso who came from afar was defeated in Kyoto City, and the dignity of the Daliang royal family was maintained.

With such a talent, if he didn't lead his troops to the north early, continue to fight against the Darong army, and recover the lost territory, how could he still come to Dongzhou and participate in the war to pacify the pirates and pirates, the two are not of the same magnitude at all.

To put it bluntly, don't you just want to make some military achievements in Dongzhou, but to go further and prepare for entering the ranks of the national princess?

Their governor has been fighting with pirates for more than ten years, and even if he suffers a crushing defeat this time, it doesn't mean that his command is not good.

There is no merit, there is also hard work, with these people, has been at the forefront of the fight against pirates and pirates, at this time this overseer came non-stop, most of them were afraid to seize power.

Compared to Wu Dingguo's bent thinking about how to recover the lost two counties, the most important thing at the moment is to deal with this imposing inspector who came to ask for the crime.

The nine counties on the Dongzhou front, if they really want to be seized by this person, can they still defeat these pirates and pirates? This is what the county guards are worried about.

Several county guards spoke one after another, Wu Dingguo nodded slightly, he was silent for a while, and said softly.

"Your kindness, the old man understands it, the fiasco of the front-line war, no matter what, as the supreme commander of the front, I am responsible after all."

"This time the inspector came, whether it was to seize power, or to dismiss the old man and investigate it, the old man admitted it, this is what I deserve, if I do this, at least the old man will feel better, and he can barely be worthy of those dead soldiers."

"Asking for the guilt is asking for the guilt, but the two places that were lost are still the top priority, you are all front-line officials, you don't need to say more from the old man, you should be able to distinguish which is more important."

"If the loss of these two counties is not recovered as soon as possible, once those Japanese slaves gain a firm foothold and then continue to increase their troops, the other seven counties will be threatened at that time."

"For the safety of the rear, the two counties that were lost, no matter what the cost, must be recovered no matter what."

"Governor, but—"

Hearing Wu Dingguo's statement, several county guards under him still couldn't help but open their mouths to dissuade them.

They have worked with Wu Dingguo for many years, and they know very well what Wu Dingguo's character is, and they must not be seized of power because of a mistake.

And at this time, it is really necessary to temporarily change the general, and replace it with a useless supervision envoy who only knows how to make military achievements, and the Dongzhou front line is over.

But no matter how many county guards tried to dissuade them, they were all stopped by Wu Dingguo.

His attitude was very resolute, one hand stretched out, looked at the people present, and said coldly.

"Okay, about the old man's affairs, you don't need to say much, if anyone is saying anything for the old man, all military law is involved, from now on, what we have to do is to do everything possible to recover the two lost counties."

"What Governor Wu said, what he said is reasonable, I was very moved to listen to it, and I admire you very much."

At this time, I don't know when, outside the mansion, a faint voice suddenly sounded.

"Who!"

Several county guards looked tight, held the hilt of their knives, stepped forward, and stared at the gate.

If you want to enter the Haicheng Prefecture Mansion, you have to report it in advance, and this indifferent voice sounded almost silently, without giving them any time to prepare.

Just when everyone's expressions were tense, outside the door, the figures of Su Qi'an and Xie Cang walked in one after the other.

"Put away the knives, this person is the Dongzhou Inspector, I'll see the Inspector." Zhong Liang, who was standing next to Wu Dingguo, hurriedly spoke.

The eyes of several county guards flashed, the hand holding the knife was released, and then they clasped their fists and saluted Su Qi'an who appeared.

Seeing this, Su Qi'an waved his hand casually, and then strode into the mansion, found a place, sat down, glanced at everyone, and said softly.

"I'm sorry that the envoy didn't let the soldiers at the door report, and I caught you off guard, so don't be so restrained, sit down."

Hearing this, the county guards immediately sat down, but their expressions were still tense and did not relax at all.

Su Qi'an didn't say anything, he could understand, looked at Wu Dingguo on the side, and said softly.

"What Wu Dudu said just now, I was quite moved by the envoy, since Wu Dudu has such an awareness, I guess there is no need for the envoy to say anything."

"The battle on the front line in Dongzhou has caused such a big loss, as the governor of Dongzhou, he should be punished heavily, according to the law of Da Liang, the frontline war was defeated, and he lost the land of two counties, so he should be beheaded according to the law!"

"Wait, Inspector, the subordinate has something to say, your guilt is too much, and it is unfair to the Metropolitan Governor."

"That's right, although this war was a fiasco, it will not lead to the execution of the Grand Duke, if you really want to execute the Grand Duke, then let's execute it with us."

As soon as Su Qi'an's words fell, immediately after, the county guards on both sides all stood up one after another, looking indignant and standing up for Wu Dingguo.

Wu Dingguo, who was watching this scene, had a little meaning in his eyes, and he scolded coldly, "Shut up the old man!" If you still think that the old man is your Grand Governor, shut up!"

"Governor, we didn't say this originally, but the Inspector has taken too much responsibility for you, you have paid for the Dongzhou front line for so many years, we see it in our eyes, if we behead you just because of this mistake, it is unfair."

"If even a loyal minister like the Metropolitan Governor is beheaded, what is the point of us living? Hmph, it is only a matter of time before Dongzhou is captured."

"That's right, since it comes to this, I don't care, no matter if the Overseer kills us or cuts us, I also have to say what is in my heart."

"The front line of Dongzhou cannot be without the Metropolitan Governor, if the Metropolitan Governor is killed, you will be the sinner of Da Liang, that is, you will destroy the Great Wall, and we will also follow the Metropolitan Governor."

"Please think again!"

Speaking of this, all the county guards present knelt down in unison, and their faces were full of attitudes towards death.

Seeing this, Zhong Liang's eyes flickered, hesitated for a moment, and also half-knelt on the ground, pleading with Su Qi'an.

Wu Dingguo looked at this scene, it was angry and angry, he was really afraid of this supervision envoy, and he really executed all these subordinate officials with his hands.

If he dies, he doesn't think there's anything, but once these generals and county guards who are the mainstays of the front line are executed, I'm afraid that the Dongzhou front line will really be over.

Although he and Su Qi'an had a holiday and had a conflict because of Fan Chong's death, and he looked down on Su Qi'an very much, in order to keep these subordinate generals, Wu Dingguo had to pull down his face and beg Su Qi'an to think twice.

Just when Wu Dingguo was about to speak, Su Qi'an, who had not spoken, laughed.

"Hehe, it's really a good loyalty, in the Daliang states, I can see this scene, but there are not many."

"Get up, it seems that you are all an impatient, and you are only half listening, so impatient, is it that in your eyes, you are such a villain?"

Hearing Su Qi'an's words, the crowd of people who were half-kneeling on the ground showed surprised looks, and then slowly got up.

"Haha, it seems that the image of the envoy is very bad in your hearts."

"The envoy said that according to the law, it should indeed be beheaded, but unfortunately, in Dongzhou, the envoy is the supreme person in charge, and it is the envoy who is responsible for it, and it is not your turn to come forward to deal with a few of you."

"In view of the fact that there are many reasons and complexities in this front-line war, Wu Dingguo, the governor of Dongzhou, will not be transferred until the land lost in the two counties is recovered, and will continue to serve as the governor of Dongzhou, and make meritorious contributions until the land of the two counties is recovered."

"As for the county guards, the same is true, they will not be punished, and they will be punished and meritorious service."

As soon as these words came out, these county guards and Zhong Liang were stunned, they didn't expect that this inspector not only did not kill them, but directly forgave them.

You must know that in the rear, the caravan route of the Shen family master's subordinates was discovered, and they were all ordered by Su Qi'an to raise tens of thousands of grain and grass

, I didn't expect them to be exempted from punishment in the end, which is somewhat incredible.

Even Wu Dingguo, with a slight shock in his eyes, looked at Su Qi'an with a dead gaze, he couldn't figure out what this inspector wanted to do.

"Why, are you not satisfied with the envoy's disposition? If so, the envoy will do what you think?"

Hearing this joking, everyone present who came back to their senses shook their heads again and again, and opened their mouths to express the wisdom of the envoy.

Touted by everyone, Su Qi'an waved his hand and said softly, "Okay, this matter is over, but I hope you don't really think that this matter is over, if the two counties don't take it back, not only you, but even the head of the envoy will not be protected, you should go back first, the envoy still has important matters to discuss with the metropolitan governor."

"I'll let you know when the policy is ready."

Su Qi'an's words made everyone present look uplifted, since this inspector dared to speak like this, it showed that he came with confidence.

Although I really want to know Su Qi'an's next move, after all, the identity is there, and Su Qi'an has issued an eviction order, which must be very important, and it is really inappropriate to continue to stay.

Anyway, they are not in a hurry, and when Su Qi'an and Wu Dingguo's discussion is over, they will naturally know when the time comes.

Everyone got up one after another, clasped their fists and saluted the two, and then turned to leave, Zhong Liang on the side also got up, nodded at Wu Dingguo and Su Qi'an, and then left.

As everyone left one after another, only Su Qi'an and Wu Dingguo were left in the mansion.

The first to speak was none other than Wu Dingguo, who clasped his fists and bowed to Su Qi'an.

"Supervision makes adults have a lot, and the old man remembers it, but the old man has never owed favors to others in his life, and he does not disdain to owe favors."

"If the Inspector is really capable of recovering the two lost counties, the old man is willing to die, and this can be regarded as the last thing the old man has done to make up for the people of Dongzhou."

Wu Dingguo said very sincerely and sincerely, Su Qi'an saw it in his eyes, a smile appeared on his face, he glanced at Wu Dingguo seriously, and said with a chuckle.

"Hehe, the Metropolitan Governor's temperament is really upright, worthy of being a great Liangzhu stone that coexists with Fan Lao, no wonder Fan Chong admires you so much, now it seems that this envoy believes."
