The Prodigal Son of the Empire

From stepping into the boundary of Yangzhou.

You can feel obvious changes, Yangzhou is more prosperous than before, and there are more people.

It seems to have learned the news in advance.

As people entered, more and more people were watching.

And that's just outside the city.

"I'm coming!"

"This prodigal son has been away for more than a year, which is really a big change."

"Nonsense, you dare to call him a prodigal, now you should call him Sir Wang, he is now the minister of military aircraft, I didn't see so many troops, they all belong to him!"

"Minister of Military Aircraft, what kind of official is this?"

"I heard that he is an official bigger than Xishan Province."

"Oh, I have already said that Wang Kang is amazing. The prodigal family has lost a lot of money, and the prodigal family has lost a powerful official!"

The surrounding people whispered non-stop, watching the excitement, but they did not dare to get too close, after all, there are so many Pingxi troops, but it is true, ordinary people are not afraid...

"Hey, I'm finally back."

Wang Kang raised the curtain of the car and looked outside, a sense of familiarity also lingered in his heart.

It was also more than a year ago that he came to this world and started his journey here. Now that he has a family and a job, he is naturally full of emotion.

At this time Zhou Qing came to report: "Young master, the governor of Yangzhou brought people to greet him. He is right in front. Look?"

"The governor of Yangzhou?"

Wang Kang asked suspiciously: "This is outside Yangzhou City, so I ran so far to meet him."

"Yeah, right in front."

"Okay, then I'll go and have a look."

The key to welcome them several miles out of the city is the local officials. Unlike other places, Wang Kang doesn't want to be a wolf with a big tail.

"Just sit here."

Wang Kang talked to the two girls and got out of the carriage.

"Greetings, Lord Wang!"

"Greetings, Lord Wang!"

Before he had gone far, four or five people greeted him. They were all in their forties and fifty years old, but he had never seen them before.

After leaving for such a long time, I didn't expect that there would be a big change of blood. The former governor of Yangzhou was Dong Yiwu, and that was his earliest enemy. I don't know what happened now...

"Next is Gong Hongcai, Governor of Yangzhou!"

The leader was a man in official uniform who interrupted his thoughts.

"It turned out to be Mr. Gong. Mr. Lao came so far to meet him."

Wang Kang also responded with a smile, without showing the slightest arrogance.

It was obviously Wang Kang's attitude that made him a little flattered, and hurriedly said: "This is all as it should be."

"Let me introduce you to the adults."

Gong Hongcai pointed to several people beside him and introduced them one by one, all of them were the chief officials of Yangzhou City.

"I have seen Mr. Wang."

"I have seen Mr. Wang."

Although they are much older than Wang Kang, they dare not neglect Wang Kang in the slightest.

"My lords, you don't need to be too polite. Yangzhou is my hometown. I am going home. Since I am going home, there are not so many rules."

"A grown-up is young and powerful, but he doesn't have the slightest airs. He is really a role model for my generation!"

"Yes!"

"My admiration for my lord is really like a surging river, endless!"

Several people started a series of complaints, wishing to write a poem for Wang Kang immediately...

Hearing Wang Kang was a big head. He had heard too many such words along the way, and he was really tired.

He doesn't like it, and even dislikes it, but this is the national conditions, especially in the officialdom...

As the saying goes, if he doesn't reach out to hit the smiling person, he can only be patient and go through this formality.

"That... my lords, should we go back now?"

Wang Kang couldn't take it anymore, so he interrupted.

At this time, Gong Hong said: "Master Wang, in fact, we have an unfeeling request."

"Unkind request?"

Wang Kang froze for a moment. It turned out that he was asking for something. In fact, it was understandable. Along the way, it was not that he did not encounter everything he passed.

"Master Gong can talk about it."

After all, he is an official from his hometown, so it is not too much, and Wang Kang will not refuse.

Gong Hongcai said: "Actually, there are a few people who have been convicted. I want to ask Mr. Wang to make a decision..."

"The convicted person, let me make a decision?"

Wang Kang didn't react for a while, what kind of request is this.

Although he is a high-ranking and powerful person now, he doesn't want to meddle in local affairs and make people talk.

"Come on, bring it here!"

Before he could open his mouth, Gong Hongcai waved his hand, and immediately a few soldiers escorted several people over.

There are four people in total, all wearing prison clothes, wearing shackles on their feet, and barefoot, with long hair hanging loose...

Why did you bring people here?
