Daohua followed Xiao Yeyang back to his residence only to see Lord Wu talking with the Hidden Guards. She expressed her surprise, "Why is he here?"
Xiao Yeyang lowered his voice, "Although I can mobilize the local military forces, my experience is still too shallow. Some things and people are hard to suppress. To prevent the village's affairs from leaking out, I sent someone to inform Lord Wu and asked him to come and take charge."
Originally, after handing over the gold mine matter to Chen Hong, Governor Wu was supposed to return to the capital. Who would have thought he was delayed for several days visiting friends and happened to encounter this affair?
It was also his good fortune, for although he did not discover the iron mine and the armament factory, when the time came for rewards based on merit, he would surely not be lacking a share.
Intrigued, Daohua asked, "Is his official rank very high?"
