Chapter 204

Everyone's concern has also been let go, the masked man stood there, because he had no idea what his expression was like with the mask on.

Xiaoxue walked up to him, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I broke the strings of this guqin, what's the matter?" She looked aggrieved, tears were about to drip, and she wanted to win sympathy.

"It's broken, you can fix it, I've already given it to you, and it's up to you to handle it!" The masked man said lightly, without looking at Xiaoxue, he walked back to his room.

Hua Wushuang and Hua Wuhuan looked at each other, and immediately smiled, tacit understanding.

Xiaoxue stared at his back in a daze, and then shouted towards his back: "Well, I will cherish it well, I will really cherish it!"

Dongfang Qing immediately walked to Murong Jie's side, knelt down on one knee, and said very respectfully: "See Your Majesty, I am Dongfang Qing, the son of Dongfang Family, one of the four major families in Chazhou."

"You are Dongfang Qing from the Eastern family of the four major families in Chazhou!" Murong Jie said lightly, with a flash of light in his eyes. Now the four major families are vying for the position of governor of Chazhou. Hearing that the former governor of Chazhou fell ill and died, but no one could tell what the disease was. The competition among the four major families for the governor became more and more fierce, and even the imperial court could hardly control the momentum.

"One of the four major tea ceremony families, the Oriental Family, the signature tea is oolong tea, right?" Murong Chong said calmly. Each of the four major families has its own signature and has business relations with the Hua family. He will come here first, so it makes sense.

"Well, yes, when I came from Chazhou, I was escorting a batch of tea, but I was intercepted by the so-called bandits on the way, and I escaped." Dongfang Qing replied respectfully.

"Then, how did the governor of Chazhou die?" Murong Jie asked lightly.

"Your Majesty should know that for a long time, Chazhou was separated from the jurisdiction of the central government and was jointly managed by the four major families of Chazhou. Surely His Majesty knows this, right?" Dongfang Qing replied respectfully.

"En." Murong Jie naturally knew that when he was not emperor, he just gave them this opportunity.

"People from the four major families go around to buy people's hearts. If they can't buy them, they will kill them. Among them, the Nangong family is the most powerful. I guess the governor was framed to death by them, and now they want to re-elect a new governor. Elections will be held at this year's Tea Ceremony." Dongfang Qing still replied respectfully.

"It's actually like this..." Xiaoxue was a little surprised. She thought that the so-called four major families were only competing in business, but she didn't expect to want to fight for power. Greed is human nature, and selfishness is human instinct.

"It's lawless, isn't it?" Hearing what Xiaoxue said, Dongfang Qing smiled sarcastically and said, people's desires are endless, as long as there are better things, things that you haven't got, why don't you go for them?Greed is just human nature.

"Except for members of the four major families, no one dares to take over the position of governor of Chazhou," Dongfang Qing continued, "Although our Dongfang family also has this ambition, but I don't, so I used the guise of delivering tea, I rushed to the imperial capital with the official seal and jade pendant of the governor. Fortunately, those who chased and intercepted me did not kill me, and I still met the Holy One as I wished." Dongfang Qing said while holding the official seal and jade pendant in his arms. He took it out and put it in front of everyone.

"Is this the official seal and jade pendant held by the Governor of Chazhou?" Murong Chong looked at these things and said in a low voice.

"Well, now the competition among the four major families is intensifying, and each family is starting to fight openly and secretly." Dongfang Qing had already stood up and said slowly to them.

"Then what do you want us to do, directly stop the fight between the four major families? I'm afraid this is not an easy task?" Murong Xuan said aloud, thinking that his purpose of coming here is not just for this, right?
"I want the Holy One to appoint someone to take over as governor of Chazhou as soon as possible, so that at least the people of the four major families will calm down a lot," Dongfang Qing replied calmly.

"Then since you have no second thoughts, why don't I send you there!" Murong Jie said lightly. This sentence was half-truthful and somewhat tentative. He was originally one of the four major families, so he would naturally lean towards his own family. Maybe this is also a game, a scam.

"Of course I can't, my lord has to send someone who can't be faulted by anyone and who is not from the four major families to take over this position." Of course Dongfang Qing knew that he also had the intention to test himself, but he really didn't have that kind of intention. Straightforward, with nothing to hide.

"Then what are you going to do? Didn't the people in your family ask you to find ways to gain the trust of the emperor, and then get the position of governor yourself?" Murong Chong said in a deep voice. Although he said this, he had already determined in his heart that at least this People have absolutely no second thoughts about the royal family.

"I, of course I will go to Chazhou. I don't want to interfere with the family affairs. In fact, the family members have told me to do so this time, but I don't like it so I won't do it. This is why those so-called thieves chased me down. The reason, hehe... Now that I am back in Chazhou, although I can't help you much, there are still many things you can do," Dongfang Qing said lightly.

"Well, then I order you to tell me the secrets of the four major families in Chazhou after you return to Chazhou. I will send an impeccable governor there on the day they hold the tea ceremony meeting, and they will still be the governor of the tea ceremony. Choose by yourself," Murong Jie said flatly, he already had a good candidate in his mind, it just needed time.

"I take orders!" Dongfang Qing replied very seriously, but he seemed to have a candidate in his heart.

So the matter was settled, everyone accompanied Xiaoxue back to the house in the rose garden, and they were waiting for Xiaoxue to cook for them.

"Really, it's so late, and I cook for you, I really don't feel sorry for me at all. I have contributed the most and contributed the most today." Xiaoxue complained with some dissatisfaction on the side. I just want to eat...

"Little Xue'er hasn't had your meal for a long time, of course she won't give up this opportunity." Murong Xuan said to Xiaoxue with a bright smile on his lips.

"Tch, I remember cooking at someone's house before, it was hard to swallow, hehe." Xiaoxue thought that when she first came to this world, she had to cook for them, and Murong Xuan was helping to do it, but in the end... Made it spicy and salty...
