Chapter 608: The Xie Family of Hengzhou

"Rule of law is the foundation of a country. Mr. Huaiying's arrival is a great honor for Hengzhou."

"I intend to appoint Mr. Huaiying as the judicial officer of Hengzhou, in charge of criminal law litigation. What do you think, Mr. Huaiying?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ye nodded, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Your Highness is so kind to me, how dare I disobey your orders? As the judicial officer, I am willing to devote all my efforts to repay your kindness."

Di Renjie was slightly stunned, then he calmed down and replied with a bow.

"Great! With Mr. Huaiying's help, Hengzhou will surely be able to enjoy a harmonious political and social environment, and all industries will prosper. Zhaoxuan, you have made an invaluable contribution this time!"

Su Ye laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became more harmonious.

"My Lord, you are too kind. It is my duty to recruit talented people for Hengzhou."

"Huaiying's talent is beyond the reach of Yan. I believe that with his assistance, Hengzhou will become more prosperous."

Gao Ying on the side smiled modestly and waved his hand.

Seeing that his lord valued Di Renjie so much, he felt very relieved.

"Huaiying, I've been telling you, wouldn't it be a shame if your abilities were buried in books?"

"Now the lord has high hopes for you, you must show your strength and don't let me down."

He patted Di Renjie's broad shoulders and smiled.

"Haha, rest assured, Zhaoxuan. Since I have decided to serve as an official, I will do my best to live up to the expectations of my lord and Zhaoxuan."

Di Renjie smiled warmly, bowed slightly, and said confidently.

The three of them smiled at each other, and the tacit understanding and trust between them were quietly established at this moment.

Su Ye raised his glass, and the three of them drank together to celebrate this important moment.
"Huaiying thanks Your Highness for your kindness. I will do my best until my death."

Di Renjie's voice was firm, as if it was a commitment to the future and a statement that he had no regrets about his choice.

He has been entrusted with such an important task right after arriving. If this isn't his real father, then what is he?
Di Renjie himself was not the kind of person who was indecisive, and now Su Ye took him, a person he had never met before, to his full attention.

The loyalty in his heart instantly reached the maximum. If Su Ye could see the loyalty, the energy bar representing Di Renjie's loyalty would probably explode at this moment.

Gao Jiong was watching this scene from the side, and he felt very relieved. He finally didn't have to work like a beast of burden anymore.

Just as Su Ye, Di Renjie and Gao Jiong were drinking together in a lively atmosphere, two elegantly dressed and distinguished figures slowly walked out from the crowd. They were Xie An, the head of the Xie family, a prominent family in Hengzhou, and his nephew Xie Xuan, who was known as the "treasure tree of the Xie family".

They were surrounded by a group of old bureaucrats from Hengzhou, and they were obviously quite prestigious among the local dignitaries.

Xie An had a smile on his face and walked steadily, his every move showing the demeanor of a patriarch of a large family. Xie Xuan followed closely behind him, his young face revealing a charm that combined sharpness and talent.

"Your Highness, Mr. Gao, it's been a long time since we last met. Xie and Xuan'er are here to congratulate you."

"In the battle of Hengzhou, Your Highness was wise and brave, and Lord Gao made strategic plans. We all admire him very much. Now that Hengzhou has been brought under Your Highness' command, the Xie family will certainly help you and seek common development."

The two men walked up to Su Ye and the others, bowed respectfully first, and then Xie An spoke, his voice gentle and elegant, yet powerful.

"Mr. Xie, you are too kind. Hengzhou is fortunate to have the help of the Xie family."

"I have heard of Mr. Xie's name for a long time. Seeing him today, I find that his reputation is well-deserved. The Xie family's treasure tree is also flourishing. There is a lot to look forward to in the future."

Upon hearing this, Su Ye glanced at the two men of extraordinary appearance and the bureaucrats who were waiting eagerly behind them, and raised his glass in response.

"Mr. Xie, nephew Xie, it is a blessing for Hengzhou that you two can come. Mr. Xie is a famous scholar of the time, and the Xie family is full of talented people. In the future, Hengzhou's government affairs will need your support and cooperation."

Gao Ying also nodded slightly at the side, with a friendly attitude.

Even Gao Jiong had to pay some attention to the Xie family, a prominent family in Hengzhou. "I am a newcomer, but I have heard of Mr. Xie's name. I hope Mr. Xie and my nephew Xie will give me some advice."

Although Di Renjie had just arrived, he had long heard of the reputation of the Xie family, so he spoke politely at this moment.

"General Di, you are too kind. The Xie family has lived in Hengzhou for generations. We should do our best to assist Your Highness and General Gao and work together to govern the place well."

"Xuan'er, you also come up to meet the adults."

Xie An smiled and nodded, his eyes lingering on Di Renjie for a moment, as if he was quite interested in this new judicial officer.

"Although Xuan is young, he knows how to serve his country."

"I would like to follow Your Highness and Mr. Gao to learn how to govern a country and contribute my humble efforts to Hengzhou."

Xie Xuan stepped forward at the right time and saluted.

"Great! Ambition is not limited by age. I am very pleased that Xie Jiabaoshu has such ambition."

After hearing this, Su Ye was overjoyed.

He had been looking forward to meeting Xie Jiabaoshu for a long time, who defeated Qin's millions of soldiers with only 80,000 soldiers and became a famous general through the ages from a young master of a famous family.

The group of old bureaucrats behind Xie An secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw how harmonious the Xie family and the new master were.

After all, for them, family interests and local stability are equally important.

Gao Ying was standing aside, and seeing the harmonious atmosphere, he was secretly happy.

The support of the Xie family, the local boss of Hengzhou, is crucial to stabilizing the situation in Hengzhou and promoting various reforms.

For a while, there was laughter and discussion at the banquet.

However, in this harmonious atmosphere, there is one corner that seems particularly out of place.

Gongsun Ba, the female general who had recently followed Su Ye to capture the city, was heroic and should have been a beautiful scenery at the banquet.

However, at this moment, she frowned, looking helpless, and her eyes kept turning to the two junior brothers beside her - Xia Gengshi and Shebishi.

These two young men, who had just graduated from a remote and barren sect in the mountains, had never seen such a luxurious scene.

They were immediately stunned by the luxurious banquet scene and lost themselves in it. Cutlery in their hands flew around, food flowed into their mouths like water, and they ate heartily, completely ignoring the sidelong glances of people around them.

"You two, calm down!"

Gongsun Ba finally couldn't help but yell in a low voice, with embarrassment and a bit of anger in her tone.

In such occasions, their behavior and conduct represent not only themselves, but also the reputation of the school behind them.

The behavior of Xia Gengshi and Shebishi was undoubtedly discrediting her and their school.

Upon hearing this, Xia Gengshi and Shebishi seemed to wake up from a dream. They quickly put down the food in their hands and looked at their senior sister with embarrassment, with oil stains still on their faces.

They had been practicing in the mountains since they were young. When had they ever seen such a sumptuous banquet?
For a moment, I forgot my composure and lost my composure.

Seeing this, Gongsun Ba sighed inwardly.

These two junior brothers have pure hearts, and only think about fighting and killing. They don't understand the ways of the world at all.

Although what happened today made her lose face, she would not despise them for it.

No matter what, he is still my junior brother. What else can I do?
I can only pamper her.
