Chapter 896: Seizing Grain

Qi Yuanzheng pondered for a moment, "It seems Her Highness is correct; I fear that Prefecture Governor truly harbors some designs against us. His expression was a bit off last night, in my view, it's best we clarify the situation before taking any action."

Zhang Peng immediately rejected Qi Yuanzheng's suggestion without hesitation. His brow had never unknotted, and after hesitating for a bit, he still decided to speak his mind.
