Then Yao Zhizhou entered the inner hall and took his seat. Gaokan remained silent, waiting to be greeted.
The servants of the government served tea and then left.
There were two people in the hall. After taking a sip of tea, Yao Zhizhou, who was in charge, spoke, and Gao Kan listened attentively.
"Master Taiwei is in Tokyo. How are you these days?"
Hearing this, Gao Kan held up his hands and smiled and said, "I'm sorry for you, Master Zhizhou. My father is doing well. A few days ago, he even said that he would personally go to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to see his homeland."
"Your Majesty Taiwei is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He is truly a role model for us. I am a man of great respect to you when you are a low-ranking official." Yao Zhizhou sighed.
While he was talking, the official from outside came rushing in and shouted: "My lord, something is wrong. The body on the carriage is..."
When he was about to speak, the official stopped again, glanced at Gao Kan, and stopped talking, as if it was difficult to talk in his presence.
Yao Zhizhou looked at it and said directly: "What is the corpse? Just say whatever you have. Mr. Gao is not an outsider. He captured the bandits and brought them to justice. What are you doing hiding them?"
After hearing the sound, the official said: "Return, return to your lord, the body on the head is Wang Bing, the tea plantation manager of Hekou Guohuodu."
"What do you mean?" Yao Zhizhou stood up immediately after hearing the sound and looked at Gao Kan again, "Mr. Gao, I'm afraid I need you to explain this matter."
After listening to Gao Kan's taste, he stood up and said in panic: "I want Master Zhizhou to know that the thief yesterday indeed threatened that he was a person appointed by Master Zhizhou. He was fierce and wanted to kill the villain. The man was in a hurry, so he had no choice but to chop him to death without catching anyone alive."
"Why did he kill you?" Yao Zhizhou asked.
"Yesterday, the villain and his party stopped at the inn. In the middle of the night, I heard someone outside shouting, 'The bandits are coming.' I didn't understand. I went downstairs and saw a group of masked men with knives coming on horseback. They came forward to kill people and steal goods. .”
Gao Kan said with a sullen face: "The villain and his subordinates couldn't tell the truth from the false, so they had to work hard to protect themselves. Fortunately, the villain and his subordinates still had some skills with sticks, so they were able to save the lives and disperse the thieves, leaving only the leader. Next, after another fierce fight, we will take it down."
"Just as I was about to ask for a clear answer, I heard him yelling what was going on. The villain couldn't tell the difference for a moment. He thought of stabilizing the person first and then come back to Master Zhizhou today to ask for a clear explanation. Who would have thought that he actually took advantage of the villain's servants not paying attention and mentioned it The sword came to kill the villain, but the servants were all rude and lost their hands in a moment of desperation."
Hearing this, Yao Zhizhou frowned: "So, this king Bing disguised himself as a bandit and wanted to intercept and kill you and others, but then failed to intercept and kill you, then threatened him, and took the opportunity to attack and assassinate again?"
"Yes." Gao Kan nodded.
"Humph, you are a thief who deserves to be killed. I wasted all my compliments on you, but I didn't know he had such evil intentions!" Yao Zhizhou suddenly snorted coldly.
"Sir, as the saying goes, you know the face of a person but not the heart. This king is very evil and good at hiding. He is always stationed in one place and does not interact with the government. No one knows that he will do such a thing."
Gao Kan spoke and picked it clean for Yao Zhizhou.
As a king and a high official, Yao Zhizhou's subordinates disguised themselves as bandits and intercepted and killed businessmen. However, he had no idea that he would be charged with neglecting his duty of "not knowing people well and not being strict with his subordinates."
It's hard to say, it's even possible that he might even take off his official robe and drop down a few levels.
The two people talking this time were discussing this matter.
Gao Kan knew that this alone would not be enough to sway Yao Zhizhou's heart, so he continued: "Although this matter has nothing to do with Master Zhizhou, I am afraid that I will lose my words, but I do have a piece of advice."
"Oh, Young Master, are you here?" Yao Zhizhou raised his eyebrows.
"This thief, Wang Bing, has committed a heinous crime. Master Zhizhou is aware of everything and recognizes his evil intentions. He kills his relatives without caring about himself and sends people to arrest him. Unexpectedly, the thief knew that a disaster was coming, so he sent his subordinates to become bandits, but he still refused to die. He actually committed a crime at night and was finally arrested on the spot by the officials sent by His Majesty!" Gao Kan said.
"Young master said so..."
Yao Zhizhou was satisfied in his heart, but he still pretended to make excuses on his face.
Gao Kan understood clearly and continued: "The villains are just businessmen passing by occasionally. They just happened to see the adults understand the righteousness and capture the thieves."
"Well, thank you, sir." Yao Zhizhou nodded.
"That's how it is." Gao Kan also smiled.
He said that in the future, Yao Zhizhou would handle the matter of the king's marriage. Without Gaokan and other personnel, he left a paperwork certificate, left the government office, and continued on his way.
Suddenly, I found an inn in the city to stay.
While eating, Lin Chong said worriedly: "Sir, will there be something going on with Yao Zhizhou?"
"There is no need to worry, Coach Lin. I have already told Lord Zhizhou that he will understand and everything will be fine." Gao Kan said with a smile.
"That's good. After all, Wang Bing is Yao Zhizhou's subordinate, and he also holds the title of Tijuan. The disappearance of his head this time is not a trivial matter." Lin Chong thought.
After hearing this, Lu Zhishen, who was sitting next to him, drank a bowl of wine and just slapped the table and said: "Such a bandit is the person who should be killed. It's just the right time to kill him. Why should he worry about it?"
"Brother, I don't know. Are there any laws and regulations in the Song Dynasty..." Lin Chong was about to explain, but was interrupted before he finished speaking.
"What about the laws and regulations of the Song Dynasty? Do you want to protect the bandits who deserve to be killed, but not the beloved people who are passing by?"
Lu Zhishen said and took another sip: "If you rub the bird like this, you will kill every one in the Sa family!"
Seeing Lu Zhishen getting more and more angry as he talked and drank more wine, he was afraid that something would happen again, so Gao Kan also tried to persuade him.
No one saw that there were three people at the table next to him, and his expressions were cold when they heard their words.
When they were about to finish eating, Gaokan had his carriage and horses ready, then came out of the city and continued walking to Huangmen Mountain. Nothing happened.
Until we were far away from the city and entered the mountain forest path, the sky was getting dark.
Just as he was thinking about finding a convenient place to settle down, suddenly a figure flashed in front of him, and three or five people jumped down from the tree, all of them holding knives.
Looking again, there were people coming out with knives on the left and right.
Seeing this, Lin Chong first raised his gun to guard the high ridge and said: "Sir, be careful, there are thieves!"
The rest of the people also quickly gathered around and were on guard. Only Lu Zhishen, holding a Zen staff in his hand, remained unfazed.
Then I saw the first person in the group to step forward, holding a simple knife in his hand, pointing directly at Lu Zhishen and saying: "Master, do you know grandpa?"
"Where did you come from, you dare to call yourself a master, and block the road in the middle of the night. I'm afraid I'm tired of living. Come over to Sajia to see you off!"
Of course Lu Zhishen was not afraid, he said coldly.
When the bandit leader saw this, he became even more angry and cursed: "You are such a badass. I have been listening to you scolding me like this in the city. Now that you are in this situation, you still want to show off your strength. Today I will let you know how powerful Grandpa Pu Dao is. How dare you?" Don’t dare to scold me, Brother Green Forest!”
While talking, the bandit leader mentioned the Pu Dao and killed the future.
Lu Zhishen didn't say much. He waved his Zen staff and greeted him. The two of them were instantly at one point.
After fighting for more than ten rounds in a row, they found that although the bandit leader was not as good as Lu Zhishen in martial arts, he was more agile in body and moved like a rabbit in the wind. Lu Zhishen could not hold him down for a while.
The rest of the people looked wary, but Gao Kan's eyes flickered.
Seeing Lu Zhishen force him back with a Zen stick, he avoided Lin Chong and took a step forward: "Hero, stop it. May I ask, is this hero Oupeng with Moyun and Golden Wings in Huangmen Mountain?"
Hearing this, the bandit leader stopped and asked directly: "Who are you? Do you know grandpa?"
