The ancestor is here, she is here with space

Chapter 261 Decision Meeting

Fang Deyong's eyes lit up when he heard these words: "What mother means is..."

Lin Congyun sneered: "What I mean is that we can obey the court's arrangements on the surface and make good arrangements for the handover. But secretly, we can use our connections and influence in Bianyun Pass to continue to control the situation here. In this way, no matter who the court sends to serve as the governor, they will only be our puppets."

Fang Deyong was delighted after hearing this, "Mom is really smart! I'll make arrangements right away!"

At that time, after Lin Congyun used the seal of the Second Prince to help Fang Deyong take the position of Governor, in order to ensure safety, he specially found a person with the same surname in Bianyun Pass to forge his identity.

Moreover, after dealing with Mo Yunqi, they also found some human skin masks made by him, which also made some changes to Fang Deyong's appearance. Therefore, people who came from the capital did not recognize him as the third son of General Fang.

After resting for two hours in Fang Deyong's residence, the imperial envoy took the new governor to the government office in Bianyun Pass.

The new governor was named Shen Lexuan, and he was an official transferred from the capital.

He was about forty years old, with a gaunt face and a look of dignity.

Although he was exhausted from the long journey, he did not show any sign of fatigue. Instead, he began to take over the affairs of Bian Yunguan in high spirits.

However, just as he was about to summon all the officials from Bianyun Pass, he was told that these officials had already been summoned in advance by Fang Deyong.

Shen Lexuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

But he did not show any abnormality, just nodded lightly to show that he understood.

Afterwards, accompanied by the imperial envoy, he went to the welcoming banquet prepared for him by Fang Deyong.

During the dinner, Fang Deyong was very enthusiastic and thoughtful. He not only gave a detailed introduction to the situation and customs of Bianyun Pass, but also took the initiative to offer to fully assist Shen Lexuan in taking over the affairs of Bianyun Pass.

Although Shen Lexuan had some doubts in his heart, he agreed without showing it on his face.

After the welcoming banquet, Shen Lexuan was arranged to rest in the mansion that had been prepared long ago. He sat in the study, his face darkening.

After thinking for a moment, he called out to the door, "Someone come."

A man in black pushed the door open, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together and asked, "What do you want, sir?"

Shen Lexuan said in a deep voice: "Go check Fang Deyong's situation in Bianyun Pass and his relationship with those officials. I want to know as soon as possible."

"Yes." The man in black responded and retreated.

Early the next morning, Shen Lexuan summoned a group of officials from Bianyun Pass, preparing to meet with them formally and discuss the handover matters.

However, what he did not expect was that when these officials saw him, although they appeared to be very respectful, their eyes revealed a subtle sense of alienation and vigilance.

Shen Lexuan knew in his heart that these officials had obviously been bribed by Fang Deyong and were wary of him as the new governor.

He was not angry about this, but instead became more determined to find out Fang Deyong's background.

In the following days, Shen Lexuan pretended to be friendly with Fang Deyong on the surface, but secretly sent people to investigate and collect evidence everywhere.

However, what surprised him was that no matter how he investigated, he could not find any improper transactions between Fang Deyong and those officials.

Everything seemed to be reasonable and there were no flaws.

However, the more this happened, the more Shen Lexuan felt that things were not simple.

He knew that he had been turned into a puppet. If he did not find a way to break the impasse as soon as possible, his days in Bianyun Pass would become increasingly difficult.

One day, Shen Lexuan was thinking about countermeasures in his study when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Shen Lexuan said in a deep voice.

The door was pushed open, and a man in black flashed in and knelt in front of Shen Lexuan: "Sir, there is a clue."

Shen Lexuan was immediately cheered up when he heard this: "Speak!"

The man in black whispered, "Our people have discovered that Fang Deyong would secretly go to a deep forest outside the city every once in a while. However, the strange thing is that our people would get lost after following him in."

"Oh? Is this true?" Shen Lexuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is there anything special in the deep forest?"

The man in black shook his head and said, "Not on the surface, but our people discovered that the deep forest seemed to be set up with a formation."

"Formation?" Shen Lexuan was stunned, and then a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "In that case, there is indeed something wrong with Fang Deyong. You continue to send people to keep an eye on him, and report to me immediately if you have any news."

"Yes." The man in black responded and retreated.

Shen Lexuan stood up, walked to the window, and stood with his hands behind his back. He looked at the sky outside the window, with a determined light in his eyes.

"Fang Deyong, I want to see what the hell you are doing."

In the following days, Shen Lexuan continued to maintain a good relationship with Fang Deyong on the surface, but secretly stepped up the investigation.

He specially found a master who was proficient in formations and went to the deep forest outside the city to check. After some investigation, the master confirmed that there was indeed a formation in the deep forest, and it was a very sophisticated maze formation.

After Shen Lexuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Fang Deyong was just a temporary governor at the border, how could he know such a sophisticated formation?

He felt that things were more and more complicated and decided to meet Fang Deyong in person.

On this day, Shen Lexuan brought a team of people to inspect the border. After two days of inspection, they arrived near the deep forest.

He did not go directly into the deep forest, but patrolled the surrounding area.

During the inspection, he pretended to be very interested in the deep forest and asked to go in and take a look.

After hearing this, Fang Deyong's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible panic, but he quickly concealed it.

He smiled and said to Shen Lexuan: "Lord Shen, you don't know that there are many wild beasts in this deep forest, which is very dangerous. Moreover, the terrain inside is complicated and it is easy to get lost. I think we should not go in."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lexuan smiled and waved his hands, saying, "Master Fang is right. However, since I'm here, how can I return empty-handed? I think it would be better if I ask Master Fang to accompany me in to take a look."

After hearing this, Fang Deyong's eyes flashed with hesitation. He didn't want to take Shen Lexuan into the deep forest, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse.

After all, Shen Lexuan was the new governor sent by the imperial court, and he couldn't blatantly disobey orders.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Deyong gritted his teeth and nodded, "Since Lord Shen is so interested, I will accompany you on this journey."
