Chapter 2213: Someone from the Third Prince

If Liao Mingzhong wanted to stay in Huaixi, then let him stay. After all, their imperial envoy had only a hundred people in total. Aside from the handymen, there were seven or eight core members, so they could keep an eye on him.

If he was in a hurry to get an explanation, they could just find an excuse to delay.

Could it be that he still dared to cause trouble in Huaixi? If he really did, it would be easy to handle.

That was indeed a good idea. Shao Yunduan nodded in agreement.

When he saw Liao Mingzhong again, he could not wait to ask about it. Shao Yunduan sighed and expressed that he needed more time to think.

This Huaixi province was not his alone. Many brothers had worked hard to build this province. It was a stable and peaceful place that everyone had worked hard to achieve.

At the very least, everyone could ensure that their family, relatives, and friends could live a stable life in Huaixi province. If that was the case… who knew?

Liao Mingzhong hurried to reassure him, “Lord Shao, you don’t need to doubt that. The Emperor values you very much, and the people of Huaixi are also his people, so the Emperor wants the world to be peaceful! That will never change!”

Shao Yunduan smiled. “That is true, but what if? No matter how wise the Emperor is, he might still be influenced by villains. The Second Prince is an example, and I have to be careful when making decisions. After all, this is not a small matter, don’t you think so, Lord Liao?”

Liao Mingzhong was frustrated.

How could he not understand what Shao Yunduan was thinking?

He was simply too ambitious and had thoughts he shouldn’t have!

On this point, Liao Mingzhong and the Sun family had the same opinion. Did Shao Yunduan really think he could conquer the world just because he occupied a small Huaixi province? What a joke!

Did he really believe he could succeed with such a grandiose plan? It was clear he was a frog at the bottom of a well!

“The Emperor has an imperial decree here. He even said that if you need it, the Emperor can give you a gold medal. Lord Shao, the Emperor values you deeply, which is not something a traitor like the Second Prince can compare to. Lord Shao, please think twice. The empire is not finished yet, and it will not be easy for outsiders to take over the world. I’m sure you know that.”

“Lord Shao, you are a smart person. I don’t think you would pursue such a fantasy and ruin your reputation for ten thousand years.”

Shao Yunduan smiled. “I would never do such a thing, so you don’t have to worry about me. Lord Liao, you are a loyal man, so you should consider something else. For example, the Prefect of Hangzhou is not a good man. He is greedy and despicable. Even if he surrenders, you should advise your master not to trust him too much.”

“Otherwise, I’m afraid disaster will happen sooner or later.”

Liao Mingzhong’s expression changed slightly, and he felt inexplicably uneasy.

Ever since the Third Prince took over Jiangning, the Prefect of Hangzhou had been the most experienced and influential among the officials who surrendered. The Third Prince had indeed thought highly of him, praising him countless times in public. The rewards given to him during the New Year were also top-notch. He had even accepted his youngest daughter, Liu Ying, as Consort Shu and doted on her.

As for Prefect Liu, he was indeed not a good person. Not only did he fail to show any signs of caution and humility, but he also became arrogant and complacent because of this. He had already caused many of the old officials to be dissatisfied and complain in private.
