The lanterns are on.
The lights of Daguan City are dim, and there are beautiful scenery everywhere.
But Sima Xin, who joined the army in the Songzhou government office, was sitting in his office and study, frowning.
The sudden death of the governor Han Wentao made him feel deep fear, fearing that it would be his turn next!
Although he did not have the leverage in Cui Xiaotian's hands, and he was not a member of Han Wentao's party, one thing was undeniable, that was the person who finally caught Cui Xiaotian - it was him!
If he hadn't acted recklessly in Yanping County and accidentally arrested Cui Xiaotian and imprisoned him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be worried now.
Every time he thought of this, Sima Xin's teeth itched with hatred, wishing he could immediately run to Qizhou and slap Song Zhili, the insidious county magistrate, hard.
However, this little county magistrate is not only one level higher than me now, but with the golden peach in his hand, he will definitely become an official in the court in the future, leaving him far behind.
To this day, he still can't figure out how such a crazy and neurotic guy got into such a huge disaster, and in the end, not only did he turn the corner, but he even turned defeat into victory!
It is simply unbelievable to be favored by the Holy One...
Just as I was thinking about it, a steward suddenly came to report from outside.
"Lord Sima, there is a man outside who claims to be the Yanping County government agent and wants to see you!"
"What?" Sima Xin's eyes widened suddenly, "Yanping County? Police?"
These three words "Yanping County" were like a fish bone stuck in the throat, making Sima Xin extremely uncomfortable just hearing it.
"He said..." the steward added, "He was sent by Song Zhili, the magistrate of Yanping County, and asked to see him if he had something to ask for."
"Song Zhili..." Sima Xin gritted his teeth and said the name, his lips trembling with anger.
The steward didn't know why, but he saw that Sima Xin's face was ashen and felt that he was missing.
"Alas..." However, after Sima Xin lamented, he waved his hand and said, "Bring him in!"
"Yes!" The steward agreed and went out to fetch the people.
Sima Xin was so nervous that he took off the sword from the wall and hid it under his desk.
To be honest, he didn't know why he did this.
Soon, a young and familiar little catcher entered the house, bowed to Sima Xin, and then announced his home: "Xu Zhen, the chief catcher of Yanping County, has met Lord Sima."
How could Sima Xin not know Xu Zhen? But he was extremely curious and immediately asked with a stern face: "What are you doing here?"
As a result, something happened that left Sima Xin stunned and his head smoking.
But Xu Zhen first crossed his fingers and made a mysterious gesture, then closed his eyes and recited a mantra.
The next second, Xu Zhen made a move with his hands, and a flame burst into the air. However, Xu Zhen's face suddenly became weird and inexplicable, like a demon in the reflection of the fire.
"..." Sima Xin was completely speechless. He quickly reached out and grabbed the handle of the knife under the table, thinking to himself, luckily I prepared a knife.
"Lord Sima," Xu Zhen quickly counted with his fingers, then opened his eyes and said, "there are deficiencies in the way of heaven, but there is more than enough to make up for the deficiencies. The way of man is not the same, there is more than enough to make up for the deficiencies."
"What... do you mean?" Sima Xin was a little confused.
"Lord Sima," Xu Zhen said, "I'm here to save you!"
"You...save me?"
"Yes," Xu Zhen said, "Sir Song Zhili sent me to rescue you, because we calculated early in the morning that there was a disaster in Daguan City and Lord Sima was in trouble!"
Uh-huh!
Upon hearing this, Sima Xin became furious, immediately drew out his saber, pointed at Xu Zhen and shouted:
"You bastard! You dare to show up to me and act like a ghost. What are your intentions?"
"Don't be impatient," Xu Zhen, however, calmly continued his magic performance and said, "Do you really think that the three bullies in Yanping County were eliminated because of Mr. Song Zhili's good luck?"
"You..." After hearing this, Sima Xin suddenly felt that the sword in his hand was unusually heavy.
Yes, what happened to the county magistrate after he caused such a big stir was indeed a bit miraculous.
"I helped him calculate that," Xu Zhen said with raised lips, "We calculated correctly early in the morning that the inner guards were paying attention to Qiu Zhennong and Cui Xiaotian, so we followed the destiny and did what we should do.
"If this were not the case," Xu Zhen asked from his soul, "How could Mr. Song Zhili, who has always been obedient, do so many crazy things?"
"This..." Sima Xin felt his wrist sink again.
Yes, it was indeed difficult to understand at first, but now he could remember Song Zhili's crazy expression. In front of so many state officials, he actually dared to contradict him like that. It turned out that he was... emboldened?
"The reason Lord Song didn't take me to Qizhou is because based on the calculations of Zi Qi going north and star calculations, I guessed that something big was going to happen in Daguan City, so I came all the way here.
"Lord Sima," Xu Zhen said with a solemn expression, "You are the eye of this storm. If you don't listen to me, your head will fall to the ground at least, and a river of blood will flow at worst!"
Gulu...
Sima Xin swallowed his saliva first, and then shouted at Xu Zhen as if to cheer himself up: "Alarmist, alarmist, you just said these two words, and you want me to listen to you?"
"Lord Sima," Xu Zhen's eyes widened suddenly, "Have you encountered a crisis, or have you had something on your mind? Are you not feeling well?"
"me……"
Yes, Sima Xin was still worried about his safety just now, but his future was even more bleak.
"Believe me," Xu Zhen said, "I can make you the second Song Zhili; if you don't believe it, you can only ask for blessings!"
"You..." Sima Xin put down his saber, but his mind was running rapidly. After a few seconds, he suddenly thought of something and said to Xu Zhen, "You keep saying that I am in trouble, then you should show some skills and let me Do you believe it?
"You said I was in trouble, where did the disaster come from?"
"The disaster comes from the northeast, where Geng Jin is." Xu Zhen twirled his fingers and said casually.
The county prison of Daguan City is located in the northeast, and the prison obviously corresponds to the "gold" among the five elements.
"Prison..." Sima Xin quickly thought of the case that happened in the county prison, and secretly wondered, could it be Fang Wubing's fault?
But……
"Little catcher," Sima Xin asked again, "since you know how to make deductions, why don't you tell me... tell me about me? You say I'm in trouble, but do you understand me?"
"Born in October of the year Jiazi," Xu Zhen twirled his fingers and said in a contemptuous tone, "I have three brothers and two sisters. The birthmark is like a cloud, located on the left hip..."
Next, Xu Zhen told a lot of information about Sima Xin, and his accuracy made Sima Xin speechless.
"By the way," Xu Zhen said again, "You have been depressed recently. Stop taking medicine. Your hemorrhoids..."
"Stop, stop talking!" Sima Xin was completely convinced, because no one except the doctor knew that he had hemorrhoids.
"Sima Xin," Xu Zhen snorted disdainfully and actually called him by his first name, "Sir Song Zhili is looking for someone with a broad mind and a heart for the world. If you are such a small-minded person, your life will change again. !”
"No, no, no," Sima Xin quickly clasped his fists, "Hurry up, oh no, master, I'm just testing it out! I believe it, and I'm completely listening to you now. You tell me... what should we do next?"
