"Um?"
"Isn't this Magistrate Han?"
"Why do you come to me with such great force?"
Zhang Bao was held by Xixue's arm and walked out of the house.
Seeing Zhang Bao come out of another house, Han Yutao's face instantly darkened and he glared at the beautiful woman.
"This...this..."
"Actually... I heard that a group of bandits entered the county house. I wanted to avoid offending you, so I hurriedly brought people here."
Han Yutao hesitantly made up a reason.
"Shan you are paralyzed!"
"Leave that bitch to me!"
"She's really trying to hurt me!"
Before Zhang Bao had time to speak, he saw Lao He crawling out of the house.
"Um?"
"How is this going?"
"Why are you here, madam?"
Zhang Bao asked with a smile.
Xixue quickly stepped forward and helped Lao He up.
"Well... I heard that the imperial envoy likes to drink, so I thought of sending two jars of good wine to him, but unexpectedly, I entered the wrong room and disturbed the old man."
"It's really my fault."
When Ziqing saw this situation, she quickly reacted and stepped forward to smooth things over.
"So that's it."
"The bandits can't reach my place. As for the good wine, I must have left it behind."
"Don't bother here."
Zhang Bao said lightly.
After doing this, Zhang Bao can almost confirm it.
"Then... I will resign from my humble position."
Upon hearing this, Han Yutao breathed a sigh of relief and walked out with Ziqing.
"Just let them go?"
"It's obvious to them that this is slander!"
"To harm your reputation."
Xixue also understood the matter from the side and said to Zhang Bao.
"reputation?"
"Perhaps in prosperous times, reputation is still needed, but in these troubled times, isn't this funny?"
Zhang Bao smiled and shook his head.
"Uncle He, what happened just now?"
"Isn't your old man at a disadvantage?"
Zhang Bao helped Lao He to the bed and lay down.
"Almost!"
"I will have my reputation ruined for the rest of my life!"
Lao He shouted angrily.
"what happened?"
"Uncle He, didn't the doctor tell you not to move around as you please?"
Seeing Lao He grimacing in pain, Xixue said helplessly.
"How would I know?!"
"This bastard just went out, and I was about to take off my pants and rub them. This guy is so good, when I heard someone opening the door."
"I thought this boy had changed his mind and came back again, so I raised my head to let him rub me, but to my surprise, a girl came in!"
"I'll be a good boy!"
"I am so young, yet I am in such a catastrophic situation. I, I, I—"
Lao He was speechless.
"Forehead……"
"She is a beauty no matter how you say it. Uncle He, you are not at a loss."
"Don't think about whether it's available or not. Besides, didn't they bring you wine? Wait until you drink it yourself!"
Zhang Bao said with a smile.
"What you say makes sense. I have to say that that girl is so handsome. If you look at her figure and wearing so many clothes, you can tell she is——"
"Ahem!"
"It's okay and leave quickly!"
"Don't disturb my rest!"
Lao He was about to talk to Zhang Bao with bright eyes, but he noticed the incomprehensible look in Xixue's eyes on the side and immediately changed the topic.
"Okay, wait till night, I'll prepare some good wine and food to compensate you!"
Zhang Bao smiled and took Xixue out.
"What's going on?"
"What exactly does Magistrate Han want to do?"
Seeing Zhang Bao sit down in the yard, Xixue also sat aside and asked Zhang Bao.
"Do you still remember the palace we passed by before?"
Zhang Bao asked Xixue.
"Remember, what happened?"
Xixue was a little puzzled.
"After the palace was abandoned, where did all the eunuchs and maids in the palace go?"
Zhang Bao asked Xixue.
"ah?"
"I...don't know."
"Have they returned to Xiazhou?"
Xixue asked Zhang Bao.
"According to my opinion, the county magistrate and the two people who had dinner with us that day are probably the eunuchs in the palace."
Zhang Bao asked Xixue.
"ah?"
"This...how is this possible?"
"They... are eunuchs."
Xixue was extremely shocked.
"Yes, they are eunuchs. This matter is most likely true."
"And I heard Ashan say that the county magistrate before them seemed to have done some evil, so he was removed before the expiration of his term."
"It will be better after the new county magistrate comes."
"So I guess it is very likely that these three eunuchs conspired to replace the county magistrate."
"That's why we're in the current situation."
Zhang Bao said to Xixue.
Just now, whether it was this immortal dance method or the previous method of making people take the blame, they were all commonly used methods in official circles, but they were just a little childish.
It's like a child imitating something he saw an adult do.
It's indeed a bit strange.
That's why Zhang Bao came up with that speculation.
Those people were able to come in just now because Zhang Bao had greeted the soldiers in advance. Otherwise, how could they have barged in so unscrupulously.
All these things allowed Zhang Bao to gradually confirm the identities of these people.
But there are still many doubts.
Where have the previous county magistrates gone?
Why are they so hostile to me again?
Is it their own intention, or is there someone else behind it?
But these are not that important. If it is like what Ashan said, it doesn't matter to Zhang Bao. It doesn't matter who the previous county magistrate was or how they became the county magistrate.
It doesn't even matter if you are a eunuch or not.
As long as you are obedient and able to do things, it will be fine.
Zhang Bao has already made up his mind to look for an opportunity to give them a try and leave when Lao He is almost done. He can't stay in such a small place for such a long time.
…
Inside the Yamen.
"what happened?!"
"Why is there that old man in the house?!"
"What the hell did you do?!"
Han Yutao asked Zi Qing in his arms with some annoyance.
