Yongzhou is the Lower Governor's Office, which is in charge of the military and political power of the ten states.

Although limited by the total population, the economy of these ten states is far from being comparable to that of the Central Plains states.

However, relying on its dense water network and convenient transportation extending in all directions, it still has a lot of advantages in developing the economy.

However, Xie Changxing himself was very resistant to being sent to Yongzhou as an official, so he didn't care much about it.

Since he came into contact with Zhang Xin, he has only been dedicated to the pursuit of personal interests, so the entire Yongzhou has been run by him.

After Duan Zhixuan entered the territory of Yongzhou, he immediately dispersed the people and horses.

He himself led more than 1,000 people straight to Yongzhou City, while the others went to other states to arrest local officials.

At present, Lingnan West Road is completely rotten.

Except for the westernmost part controlled by the wingmen and barbarians, there was no one to intervene in, and there was no clean official to be found.

Therefore, Duan Zhixuan didn't have to arrange the arrest route too seriously, just pushed all the way to Luofu Prefecture.

At this time, Xie Changxing had no idea that he was in trouble.

He had already inquired about the information in Guangzhou Mansion through his own connections.

However, no information was received about the imperial court's intention to do so.

Therefore, he is still waiting for Zhang Xin to deliver the latest news to him, hoping to resume the smuggling trade as soon as possible.

However, at this time, he didn't know that Zhang Xin, who he was counting on, had already gone to Zhenla to do legitimate business at this moment.

Today, Xie Changxing has felt that his right eyelid has been beating non-stop since early in the morning.

Therefore, he had no intention of going to the mansion to sit in the hall, but locked himself in the study, bored, flipping through a book.

Just as he felt his mind getting more and more bored, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the front yard.

Xie Changxing, as the governor of the shepherd side, knew a little about military affairs.

Therefore, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, he immediately judged that there were quite a few people in this line.

Just when he stood up with a little confusion and wanted someone to inquire about the situation outside, a loud shout suddenly came from the front yard:

"Where are you waiting for the sergeant from? Why did you suddenly surround my Yongzhou Mansion?

Don't you know that such an act violates the law of the Tang Dynasty? ”

After hearing this, Xie Changxing's face immediately changed.

He walked quickly to the door to go out to see what was going on, but at that moment a voice came from outside again:

"Blind your dog's eyes, you don't know it in front of the Governor of Guangzhou Duan?

If you don't get out of the way quickly, it will affect the official duties of the Grand Governor and cut off your dog's head carefully. ”

This voice came out, and the four guards standing at the door suddenly felt their legs go limp, and they knelt on the ground with a "plop".

And Xie Changxing, who had just walked to the door of the study, turned pale with a swipe of his face.

"It's coming! It seems that the previous speculation has come true. ”

Before he could think of what he should do, the voice outside came again:

"Where is the history of Yongzhou Thorn? Why don't you come out quickly to greet Governor Duan? ”

This shout directly plunged the entire front yard into chaos.

It didn't take long for Xie Changxing to hear the sound of the door opening.

At the same time, the records of his subordinates joined the army and hurriedly appeared in the backyard.

"Governor Xie, Duan Zhixuan, the Metropolitan Governor of Guangzhou, has come to the door in person, I need to hurry up to greet him."

The record joined the army and said from afar.

"Alas!" Xie Changxing sighed after hearing this, and then walked to the front yard.

If you want to hide now, you definitely can't hide, so you just go and meet that Zhixuan first.

As for the ending, I'm afraid I can only resign myself to fate.

Xie Changxing's pace was very fast, but even so, when he walked to the front yard, Zhi Xuan had already led people in.

"Governor Duan came from afar, and the officials failed to greet him in time, so I hope your lordship will not blame."

Xie Changxing immediately bowed his hand after seeing Duan Zhixuan coming from afar.

At this time, he had already seen Duan Zhixuan's slightly cold face, so the tension in his heart had almost reached its peak.

Before he knew it, a lot of sweat was oozing from his forehead.

Duan Zhixuan did not return the gift after receiving Xie Changxing's salute.

I only heard Duan Zhixuan speak: "It seems that the rumors are really true, Lord Xie is really unintentional about government affairs now."

I didn't even bother to sit in the hall. ”

Xie Changxing saluted again and said: "The Metropolitan Governor misunderstood, and the officials happened to rush to the backyard to make it easier. ”

Duan Zhixuan sneered after hearing this, but he did not continue to dwell on this topic.

He had already asked Yongzhou Beijia about Xie Changxing's whereabouts just now.

At that time, the other party just told himself that Xie Changxing was in the backyard.

Just from the other party's attitude, it can be seen that this Xie Changxing obviously has not sat in the hall.

At this time, Zhixuan had already walked in front of Xie Changxing.

He didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he took out the arrest warrant issued by Li Zhi directly from his arms.

"Xie Dudu, all the things you have done have been known to His Royal Highness King Jin.

The Governor of Bendu is here today to bring you back to Guangzhou and hand them over to His Royal Highness the King of Jin to personally send them down. ”

Duan Zhixuan held the arrest warrant in front of Xie Changxing and said.

"Duan Dudu, is there any misunderstanding here? Xia Guan has been conscientious since he became an official, and has never done anything that violates the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

How could His Royal Highness the King of Jin listen to the words of outsiders and arrest the lower officials for interrogation? ”

After Duan Zhixuan's words were finished, all the officials in the courtyard fell into a panic.

Only Xie Changxing barely suppressed the fear in his heart and spoke.

After listening to his words, Duan Zhixuan spoke: "How His Royal Highness the King of Jin does things is beyond the scope of my subordinates.

If Xie Dudu really has a clear conscience, why is he afraid to follow this official to the end? ”

Xie Changxing said: "This official is an official of the imperial court sent by His Majesty, how can he take this official away from his post just by his Royal Highness's words?" ”

Duan Zhixuan lowered his eyelids and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin came to Guangzhou to settle all matters related to the Tang Sea Trade at the behest of His Majesty.

If Xie Dudu thinks that His Highness has no right to deal with it, he can confront His Highness face to face.

As for now! It was better not to resist, lest his swords and soldiers lose their eyes and hurt Xie Dudu's life. ”

"This..."

Xie Changxing couldn't find a reason to refuse for a while, so he quickly turned his head and looked at the other officials on the left and right.

But he didn't want the other people to bury their heads in their chests like frightened quails at this time.

"Hey!" Seeing this situation, Xie Changxing could only sigh helplessly.

I only heard him open his mouth and say to Duan Zhixuan: "Since this is the case, the lower officials will follow Duan Dudu.

By the way, let's see who is falsely accusing the innocence of the lower officials. ”

Duan Zhixuan said: "Since Governor Xie is so sensible, the work of this official is easier to do." ”

After saying this, he said to a general behind him: "Come on! Bring a few adults back to Guangzhou safely. ”
