467: Chapter 250: Felt It (Please Subscribe)_2 467: Chapter 250: Felt It (Please Subscribe)_2 Does this governor, who can barely keep his own position, possess such capability?

Sikong Chan remained silent, placing a bright red invitation in front of Xiahou Dong.

“What is this?”

Xiahou Dong was puzzled.

He picked up the invitation, opened it, and became even more confused, “Is this a ‘Geng Tie’?”

But in his heart, he was even more perplexed.

Why did Sikong Chan want him to see a ‘Geng Tie’?

A ‘Geng Tie’ is an engagement letter exchanged between the families of a bride and groom during the betrothal.

It includes the full name, birth details, ancestry, and the three generations of each family.

Xiahou Dong immediately sensed something was off.

The groom’s name on the ‘Geng Tie’ was none other than Governor Sikong Chan himself.

As for the bride, she was a woman named Mu Dong’e.

“Mu Dong’e?” Xiahou Dong furrowed his brows slightly, then his expression turned stern, “Lord Governor, may I ask what relation this Miss Mu has with that Eunuch Mu in the palace?”

Sikong Chan smiled faintly, leisurely sipping his tea, “This lady is Eunuch Mu’s niece.

I’ve already made a marriage arrangement with the Mu family, taking Miss Mu as my second wife.”

Upon hearing this, everyone in the elegant room couldn’t help but change their expressions.

Bao Butian and Cao Xuan were shocked and exchanged glances.

The governor had just lost his wife and had already arranged a second marriage, additionally becoming involved with Eunuch Mu from the palace.

Xiahou Dong also looked at Sikong Chan, his gaze exceedingly complex.

This man had many connections with the Eunuch Party but always kept a safe distance, leaving much room for maneuver.

Today, however, he had sold himself to the Eunuch Party, and for a handsome price at that.

He put down the ‘Geng Tie’ in his hand, his face regaining a measure of respect, “May I know what Lord Governor would like from this humble official?”

Now that he was engaged to the Mu family, Mr.

Governor would surely be more tolerant towards Sikong Chan.

Even the East State Eunuch would not be too harsh on Sikong Chan.

Indeed, this man now had the influence to affect the selection of the next governor.

Sikong Chan’s expression gradually became stern and menacing, “I would like your clan brother, Mr.

Governor, the East State Inspector, to determine the charges against Chu Xisheng and Tie Xiaosheng as quickly as possible and to issue a Black List for a statewide manhunt!

The sooner, the better, preferably within half a day!”

Normal procedures could not be completed so quickly, especially for someone like Chu Xisheng, who wielded great power and influence locally.

The East State Inspection Department would have to follow complex procedures, verify repeatedly, and consider carefully.

However, if the East State Inspector lent his assistance and made an exception for him, the task could be completed within half a day, or even less.

Sikong Chan’s body leaned forward slightly, imposingly fixing his gaze on Prefecture Governor Xiahou Dong, “Brother Xiahou, if the Inspector General could see to this matter, then afterwards I could not only give you half of the canal shares held by Iron Banner Gang but also transfer their Black Iron Ore mine to the Xiahou family!

In addition, I could also present you with 600,000 taels of Demon Silver as a token of gratitude.”

Prefecture Governor Xiahou Dong did not agree immediately; he furrowed his brows, weighing the pros and cons.

It must be said that the governor’s offer was very sincere, and it tempted him greatly.

However, just as Xiahou Dong was considering his response, the young son of the East State Inspector, Xiahou Shen, suddenly spoke up, “I accept these terms on behalf of my father!

But the 600,000 taels of Demon Silver, you must give to me first.”

Prefecture Governor Xiahou Dong frowned heavily, looking at his young clan nephew, “Shen’er, this is a serious matter, not to be rushed into.

How can you agree without consulting your father?”

Xiahou Shen sneered coldly, “You were tempted just now, weren’t you, Uncle?

Stop the act.

I have my own ways to persuade my father.

Chu Xisheng has committed numerous evils in Xiushui County, resisted the government, and plotted rebellion.

Which of these is not a capital offence?

My father having him labeled as a rebel and putting him on the Black List is completely justified; no one can fault him for that!”

Xiahou Shen knew that this matter could cause ongoing turmoil in East State, but what did that have to do with their Xiahou family?

His father was simply fulfilling his responsibilities.

Prefecture Governor Xiahou Dong’s expression changed slightly.

He stared at Xiahou Shen, seeing the hatred in his eyes, and finally, he sighed lightly, without a word.

“Good!”

Sikong Chan issued a soft commendation, “Young Master Xiahou truly understands the bigger picture!

It’s a pity I can’t drink alcohol, otherwise I’d toast a big cup to that.”

He then looked meaningfully at the new Chief of Xiushui Jin Yi Wei, Bao Butian.

“I heard that Chief Bao and the former Chief Li were colleagues for many years?

To my knowledge, Chief Li lost his position due to the Iron Banner Gang.

If the Inspector General issues an arrest warrant, can Xiushui and the East State Six Gates spare no effort to capture this man?

For the peace and well-being of the scholars and citizens of East State, please ensure that Six Gates eliminates this scourge!”

Chief Bao Butian thought for a moment, then bowed with his hands clasped, “Once the Inspector General’s warrant is issued, it is Six Gates’ duty to comply!”

Sikong Chan nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Cao Xuan.

But Cao Xuan remained calm, clasping his fists, “Lord Governor, I shall not involve myself in this matter.

As you are aware, our current priority with the Police Pool of Blood is the Rebellious God Flag and the Lie King’s Treasure.

However, please rest assured that I shall keep today’s discussions strictly confidential.”

In his heart, Cao Xuan was extremely conflicted.

The Xiushui Jin Yi Wei had already invested significant resources in Chu Xisheng and West Mountain Hall.

He had even dragged the special envoy from the Capital City Heavenly Government into these murky waters.
