Rebirth: Miss Xiao doesn’t want the heir apparent anymore

"Then what happened to the death of the county magistrate of Baocheng? Who did it?"

Liang Shoubei lowered his head and replied: "It was Zhang who did it before he left. Zhang said that this person has evil intentions and only knows how to prey on people and bully the people. It would be a disaster to keep him."

Hearing this, Mu Chennian frowned. This was really confusing. I thought he wanted to occupy the land and become king, but he didn't expect that he abandoned Raocheng and cleared up the troubles surrounding the city when he left.

It is said that he went to the east, and it does not seem like he was going to seek refuge with the foreign country. Mu Chennian combined with what was said in the letter about Xiao Zixi's father, and the nearest city to the east was where Xiao Chang, the general who protected the country, returned. The small border town where Liu Pengcheng was stationed was now stationed. The letter said that he was going to kill a person. Could it be...

He said that he learned from Xinjiang, and Mu Chennian boldly guessed that he was a spy sent by Xinjiang.

Xi'er told herself that the death of her father-in-law was related to Liu Pengcheng. Liu Pengcheng sent a letter to Jiang State, revealing his father-in-law's whereabouts, and Jiang State sent people to assassinate his father-in-law.

Could it be that Zhang Taishou knew the conspiracy involved? When the emperor's uncle went to provide disaster relief, he met Xi'er's parents. Zhang Taishou also brought them back from there. They should know each other.

"Chen Nian."

Mu Yunshen's call pulled Mu Chennian out of his memories.

"Chennian, what did the letter say?"

Mu Yunshen asked with a complicated expression. After Mu Chennian read the letter, his expression felt a little wrong.

"Nothing, he just told me some past events and asked me to bring a letter back to my mother."

Mu Chennian did not say anything about his suspicion that Governor Zhang was a spy from Xinjiang.

Mu Yunshen didn't ask any more questions. It was probably more than just these things. There must be some things that were inconvenient to talk about.

"Liang Shouwei, you continue to look at the city gate. The king is temporarily in charge of the city."

After listening to Mu Chennian's instructions, Liang Shoubei replied respectfully: "Yes."

It was true as Zhang Taishou said, Mu Shizi would not embarrass him. Originally, he wanted to go with the army, but he had a family, and Zhang Taishou refused to let him go. He assured him that Mu Shizi would never embarrass him. Let him stay in the surrounding city.

After a few days, the city slowly regained its vitality.

Governor Zhang led an army of [-] people to Yuncheng where Liu Pengcheng was stationed.

The soldiers guarding the gate of Yuncheng saw the army pressing down from a distance and hurriedly closed the city gate. The guard on the city tower asked sternly: "Who is coming?"

Prefect Zhang replied with a cold face: "Zhang Zhihe, the prefect of the city, told Liu Pengcheng that I have come to seek refuge with him."

The people on the tower looked at each other and talked quietly. One of them came down from the tower, probably to report to Liu Pengcheng.

Inside Yuncheng City

General House

"General, Zhang Zhihe, the governor of the surrounding city, came to the outside of Yuncheng with his troops and horses, saying that he wanted to join the general."

Liu Pengcheng, who was practicing his gun, was stunned for a moment when he heard the soldier's report, and then frowned. What did Zhang Zhihe want to do when he suddenly came with an army of [-] people?

"Go, go meet him."

Liu Pengcheng came to the city tower with his deputy, looked down at Governor Zhang, and asked with a solemn expression: "Prefect Zhang, why don't you stay in the surrounding city and come to Yuncheng?"

"Brother Pengcheng, I don't know that there are constant natural disasters circling the city and I can't stay any longer. Zhihe came here to join you." Zhang Taishou said with a smile.

"As the leader of a city, how can you ignore the people and abandon the city and flee?"
