Thinking of this, Luo Guo couldn't help but glance at Han Du.
As expected of someone who holds a title at such a young age, his skill and scheming are truly staggering!
Luo Daisi was still young and couldn't understand the conversation between the two. She tilted her little head in confusion and threw it behind her.
The local county magistrate and his people came to Han Du first.
Back in time two hours ago, the county magistrate was sitting under the shade of a tree in the backyard of the county government office, drinking tea and enjoying the cool air.
When you are an official, you do not cultivate your yamen. If you cultivate your yamen, you are not an official. This is a sentence that every official in the Ming Dynasty will be mentioned by people who have experienced him when he first becomes an official. Under the mysterious atmosphere created by the people and gods in the past, all officials firmly believed in this and regarded it as a standard.
Therefore, although the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than ten years, the county government in front of us still completely inherited the previous dynasty. In addition, it has never been repaired, so many places in this county government office have mottled walls and rotten wall roots, giving it a shabby appearance.
"Master, it's not good, it's not good."
The housekeeper ran into the backyard yelling.
"What are you yelling for? What happened? The house was set on fire?" Magistrate Zou couldn't help scolding him.
What he is most proud of is his Qi nourishing skills. As the saying goes, Mount Tai collapses in front but remains unchanged.
Since the superiors are doing something good, the people below will naturally flatter them and do what they like. Therefore, in the county government office on weekdays, whether it is several chief officials or ordinary subordinates, they all look calm and composed.
Of course, these people do things slowly and slowly like Magistrate Zou.
When the housekeeper saw that the magistrate was still sitting on the chair and drinking tea calmly, he suddenly said anxiously: "It's much more important than burning the house down, my God. You'd better get up and have a look. The court has sent someone."
"People from the imperial court?" Magistrate Zou reluctantly put down his tea cup and muttered: "It's not time to collect taxes yet. Why did the imperial court send people here?"
The housekeeper couldn't bear it anymore, so he rushed forward and helped Magistrate Zou up and walked to the county government hall.
As soon as Magistrate Zou came to the court, he yawned and asked before he could see who was coming from the court: "What on earth is going on?"
Suddenly I caught a glimpse of a military general sitting on a chair with a big horse and a golden sword. Taking another look at this man's clothes, Magistrate Zou was suddenly startled. He quickly lowered his posture and bowed his hands in a salute, "Your Majesty, Zou Xing, has seen this general before."
Zhang Chao looked at Zou Xing and sneered twice. He walked staggering and yawned profusely. If this guy had been one of his soldiers, he would have killed him long ago.
These civil servants are really fancy but useless.
But firstly, he couldn't care about Zou Xing, and secondly, there were still urgent things to do. Zhang Chao did not argue with Zou Xing, and immediately stood up, with a serious look on his face, and said: "The navy attacked Zhang Chao as a guerrilla, and we are here on the orders of Jing Haibo, asking you to summon all the working craftsmen in the county immediately."
He took out the official document from the Ministry of Industry and handed it to Zou Xing, "This is the official document from the Ministry of Industry. Please take a look at it."
Zou Xing quickly took it with both hands and opened it. The content asked him to obey all Jing Haibo's requests. I carefully looked at the large seal of the Ministry of Industry to make sure it was authentic.
Zou Xing put away his writing, nodded with an apologetic smile, and replied: "I obey, I will make arrangements immediately. May I ask the general, where is Jing Haibo now? I just happened to go to see him."
"Of course you can pay your respects if you want," Zhang Chao smiled meaningfully, "but this general also brought you a gift."
"A gift?" Zou Xing was stunned when he heard this, then came back to his senses and said with a smile: "The general is too polite. It's a shame that the subordinate is waiting for you at a distance. How dare you trouble the general to prepare a gift?"
Zhang Chao did not explain to Zou Xing, but turned out and quickly brought Lu Jian in and threw him at Zou Xing's feet.
"Lv Jian," Zou Xing recognized him at a glance, his face darkened, he raised his head and asked, "General, what do you mean?"
Zhang Chao clapped his hands and said: "This is a gift for you. This person intends to assassinate Jing Haibo and is guilty of conspiracy. Magistrate Zou, what do you think of this gift?"
To assassinate Jing Haibo is a grave crime! Zou Xing's eyes were filled with shock at every word, but he and Lu Jian really had something to do with each other. When he first came here as the county magistrate, Lu Jian gave his youngest daughter to him as a concubine in order to curry favor with him.
Now if Lu Jian really committed the crime of treason, Zou Xing would not be able to escape either.
At this time, Zou Xing could no longer care about Lu Jian. If people say it is an assassination, then it is. Although he didn't think Lu Jian had the courage, it didn't matter now.
What matters is how he extracts himself from this matter.
After only hesitating for a moment, Zou Xing quickly smiled apologetically and said to Zhang Chao: "Thank you so much, General. This gift really made Xiaguan very grateful. General, please tell Jing Haibo that Xiaguan has always enforced the law impartially and has never been unjust." He is a good man, but he will not let go of a bad man. Please wait a moment, general, and let me make arrangements before going to see Jing Haibo."
Zhang Chao calmly sat down again and waved his hand, "You can do whatever you want, but hurry up. Jing Haibo hates waiting for others."
"General, don't worry, I have always acted vigorously and resolutely." Zou Xing bowed to Zhang Chao and took two steps back.
He turned around and shouted loudly: "Come here, take this traitor down to me, put him in jail, and wait to be punished."
The surrounding government officials immediately gathered around and lifted Lu Jian up to drag him out.
Lu Jian was shaken and continued to wake up a little. The first time I saw Zou Xing, I had to say something.
However, Zou Xing quickly signaled to the head catcher next to him. The head catcher understood the situation and rushed forward and touched Lu Jian's chin.
Lu Jian couldn't say a word immediately, and was dragged away while struggling on his hands and feet.
Zou Xingyou made arrangements for the recruitment of corvees, and then took the county's magistrate, governor, Dianshi, Jiaoyu and others along with Zhang Chao to visit Jing Haibo.
"Zou Xing, the lower official, pays homage to Jing Haibo. I am late to welcome you, please forgive Jing Haibo." Zou Xing stood in front of Han Du and bowed respectfully.
Han Du glanced at the fat old man in front of him and asked casually: "Are you the county magistrate here?"
"It's the lower official." Zou Xing quickly replied, and he couldn't help but be extremely surprised when he saw that among Jing Haibo and the others, there were two ordinary people, an old man and a young man, standing inside. What on earth is going on? Could it be that Jing Haibo has just arrived and the two of them are already fawning over each other?
Thinking of this, Zou Xing couldn't help but feel envious, and he fell in love with Jing Haibo. From then on, his life was never the same.
Even Zou Xing put down his arrogance at this moment and greeted Luo Guo with a smile.
