Many couldn't help but chuckle when they heard the Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture was going to arrest someone, thinking the Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture was trying to be funny!
Jiang Yi was currently a favored figure beside Prince Matthew. If he dared to arrest Jiang Yi, Prince Matthew would surely not let the Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture off the hook.
At that time, it was hard to say whether the Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture could keep his position.
Besides, there were so many people from the business world present. Grand Governor Barry, Grand Governor of Ximeng Prefecture, and Grand Governor of Nanmeng Prefecture were all here. They were eager to get the Tian Sheng Group project, so naturally, they wouldn't stand by and watch him arrest Jiang Yi.
Because if Jiang Yi were arrested, the sweet potato convention would not be able to proceed.
"Jiang Yi, I don't actually want to fall out with you!"
"How about this! Let Dongmeng Prefecture have a share in the sweet potato project. Since you spoke disrespectfully to me, I won't bother with it. Otherwise, you know the consequences! I always keep my word, and I will arrest you if I say so!"
The Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation and directly threatened Jiang Yi.
The Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture had threatened the wrong person. Jiang Yi did not fall for this kind of tactic at all.
"I hate it the most when people threaten me. I now officially announce that any company and enterprise from Dongmeng Prefecture is prohibited from participating in the sweet potato project!"
Jiang Yi said directly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture's face immediately showed anger.
He did not expect Jiang Yi to not give him any face at all.
The Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture thought his status as a Grand Governor was enough to intimidate Jiang Yi, but he did not expect it to be completely useless!
"That's great! Since Dongmeng Prefecture is banned from participating in the sweet potato plan, the other three prefectures will have more enterprises and companies participating in this project!"
The Grand Governor of Beimeng Prefecture wore a gloating expression.
"That's right, let Dongmeng Prefecture watch the other three prefectures get rich! At that time, Dongmeng Prefecture will be envious, but it will be useless! Dongmeng Prefecture brought this upon itself!"
The Grand Governor of Nanmeng Prefecture also grinned.
This made the Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture look very displeased.
And the bosses of the companies and enterprises from Dongmeng Prefecture in the audience could no longer sit still.
Originally, they had a chance to participate in the sweet potato project, but because of the Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture's disturbance, they had completely lost their opportunity.
"Grand Governor, we can't miss this opportunity! Once we miss this opportunity, we can only watch the companies and enterprises of the other three prefectures get rich!"
"Most of the sweet potato farms in Dongmeng Prefecture are suffering from a disaster. If we participate in this project, this problem can not only be smoothly solved but also drive Dongmeng Prefecture's economy. We absolutely cannot miss such a golden opportunity!"
"That's right, if the problem of sweet potato infestation cannot be solved, Dongmeng Prefecture's economy will be affected more and more, and eventually, it will become unmanageable!"
...
The bosses from Dongmeng Prefecture spoke to persuade the Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture.
"Shut up, all of you!"
The Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture roared angrily.
He also wanted Dongmeng Prefecture to participate in the sweet potato project and solve the problem of sweet potato infestation.
However, he was a proud person and did not want to apologize to Jiang Yi in front of so many people and beg Jiang Yi.
The Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture was determined not to apologize for the sake of his pride, even if it meant death.
"Jiang Yi, if you insist on going against me, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
After the Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture finished speaking, he directly called his secretary and sent people to arrest Jiang Yi.
The Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture had his own calculations. He planned to arrest Jiang Yi directly, let Jiang Yi know his power, and then Jiang Yi would beg Dongmeng Prefecture to participate in the sweet potato project!
In this way, Dongmeng Prefecture would not only join the sweet potato plan but also save his face.
The Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture preferred to use such tough methods. He had always succeeded when he used such methods, and he believed he would succeed this time too.
Face, sometimes, is fatal.
He still did not know that Jiang Yi was a favored figure beside Prince Matthew, nor did he know that the sweet potato project was ordered by Prince Matthew. By obstructing the sweet potato project, he was essentially opposing Prince Matthew. Sultan Novel Network
When everyone saw that the Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture was really going to make a move, they all became uneasy!
Especially Grand Governor Barry, Grand Governor of Nanmeng Prefecture, and Grand Governor of Beimeng Prefecture.
The Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture's actions were harming their interests, so naturally, they would not allow it.
The company and enterprise bosses in the audience would also not agree.
"You are deliberately sabotaging, you are too shameless! Today, with the three of us Grand Governors here, and so many entrepreneurs here, I'd like to see how bold you are to arrest Mr. Jiang!"
Grand Governor Barry said sternly to the Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture.
"That's right, we absolutely will not allow you to arrest Mr. Jiang!"
The Grand Governor of Beimeng Prefecture and the Grand Governor of Nanmeng Prefecture also expressed their stances.
Even the people in the audience expressed their dissatisfaction with the Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture.
His actions were completely harming everyone's interests.
The Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture had incurred the wrath of the masses.
"Hmph!"
The Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture snorted coldly, then said in a deep voice.
"Even with the three Grand Governors here, what does it matter? Dongmeng Prefecture is my territory, I have the final say. Whoever I want to arrest, I can arrest, and none of you have the right to question me!"
These words made the three Grand Governors very angry.
The Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture's purpose was to force Jiang Yi to submit, to make Jiang Yi afraid, and then to proactively invite Dongmeng Prefecture to participate in the sweet potato project.
Jiang Yi looked calm and did not take the Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture seriously at all, because the Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture's actions, in his eyes, were no different from courting death!
After nearly ten minutes, a large group of armored soldiers rushed into the square, as many as several hundred people, all fully armed.
The entire square was surrounded.
The Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture was not joking; he was serious!
"Jiang Yi, I'll give you one more minute to consider. You just need to apologize to me and beg me, and I won't bother with you!"
"Otherwise, I will arrest you. If you fall into my hands, let alone your project, you won't even be able to save your own life!"
The Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture said to Jiang Yi with a grim expression.
"You will pay the price for what you have done today!"
Jiang Yi said calmly.
"Stop pretending. Even the three Grand Governors can't save you now. Who else in these four prefectures can save you?"
The Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture sneered.
The Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture did not take Jiang Yi seriously and intended to deal with Jiang Yi as he pleased.
"Time's up!"
The Grand Governor of Dongmeng Prefecture stared at Jiang Yi and then shouted to the armored soldiers behind him, "Arrest Jiang Yi. If he dares to resist, don't hold back. Also, whoever dares to obstruct, arrest them all!"
"Yes!"
Several armored soldiers walked directly towards Jiang Yi.
