As soon as this statement came out, everyone including Wu Yunxuan was shocked.
This is the Sheriff's Mansion!
The defense is tight and there are many experts.
Thirty years ago, when the world was in chaos and there were even rebellions, it would not be unusual to break into the governor's mansion without permission.
It’s just that it’s thirty years later. Since Emperor Renxuan ascended the throne, he has purged Xiaoxiao, called Daqian up and down, and made Haiyan and Heqing clear.
In such a prosperous age, how could anyone dare to be good at the Sheriff's Mansion? Is it possible that you really think you have a long life?
Huo Yan's face turned livid. He was the county guard, so if something like this happened, it was naturally his responsibility.
"Hmph! Everyone, follow me out. I want to see who Fang Xiaoxiao dares to do such an outrageous thing!"
Huo Yan stood up first and walked outside.
Wu Yunxuan glanced at his back, with worry hidden in his eyes.
Huo Yan's official career was not smooth because he offended the Yang family. But because of the relationship between the Huo family and the fact that his political achievements in Jiangnan County have always been outstanding, far exceeding those of other county governors, even if the Yang family wanted to demote him, they could not find a way.
But if today's matter is not handled well, it will definitely be a big stain on his political performance.
Wu Yunxuan shook his head, sighed, then no longer thought about it, and stood up and walked out.
The rest of the people also looked at each other in confusion.
Especially Qian Tong, the boy was clearly about to read out the name of Qian's cloth shop just now, but at the critical moment, something unexpected happened, which really made him not in a good mood.
"Let's go, everyone." But there was no choice but to follow and walk out, so as to see whether this young man was born with three heads and six arms.
However, when they arrived at the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion, everyone was stunned.
Rather than being a strong man with three heads and six arms, this young man looks more like a young man from a rich family.
The figure was slightly bloated, and he was holding a roll of plain white cloth in his hand. His round face was full of anxiety, and he was sweating profusely and explaining something to the guards.
The guard looked indifferent and just held his other arm tightly.
Seeing Huo Yan coming, he said respectfully: "Your Majesty the Sheriff."
"what happened?"
"Your Majesty, this person did not listen to the advice and wanted to force his way into the county governor's mansion. He has been captured by his subordinates."
Hearing this, Huo Yantie's face turned green and he said to the man: "I see that you are not a strong man who does evil things. If you have any reason, tell me quickly. If not, I will punish you severely!"
Shen Liangfu, who was being held with one arm and was sweating profusely in pain, raised his head when he heard this and said sincerely: "I didn't break into the county magistrate's mansion trespassing, I came to see my father."
Looking for dad?
What kind of weird reason is this?
Huo Yan frowned, but deep down he breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that this matter of breaking into the county governor's house without permission was a mistake after all.
However, just as he was thinking about what to do with this little fat man, a cry of surprise came from behind him!
"My son! Why are you here?"
"Brother, guard, let go quickly. This is my son, not a villain."
Shen Gui, who had just followed out, before he could figure out the cause and effect, saw Shen Liangfu being held captive. He suddenly became anxious and stepped forward to explain to the guards.
After hearing this, Huo Yan looked at the plain white cloth in Shen Liangfu's hand, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind!
I see!
"It turns out that he is the son of Mr. Shen's wife's family. Why don't you release him quickly?"
"promise."
Only then did Shen Liangfu break free. While rubbing his sore arms, he leaned against his father's ear and whispered softly.
Listening to his son's words, Shen Gui had a rich expression. Sometimes he frowned, and sometimes he was dumbfounded.
Finally, he gritted his teeth with a look of determination on his face.
The people behind him also followed out one after another. After they figured out that this was an error, they sat down again and continued the selection of imperial merchants.
Only this time, before starting, Huo Yan stood up and said seriously: "Do you have anything to add to your own cloth?"
"If not, I will announce the result."
Qian Tong frowned. It was basically a certainty that Qian's cloth shop would be elected as the Imperial Merchant. He really didn't understand why Governor Huo bothered to ask again.
But who would have thought that something unexpected would happen just by asking this question!
Shen Gui stood up, holding the plain white cloth in his hand, and apologized: "My lords, I'm sorry."
"The cloth selected by Shen Ji Cloth Company is not water-like satin, but brocade in the hands of ordinary people."
"Before I came, I took the wrong one because I was in a hurry."
"My son also broke into the governor's house just to deliver the cloth."
As soon as Shen Gui said this, Qian Tong knew that something bad was going to happen and stood up hurriedly, wanting to say something.
But who would have thought that Huo Yan would be one step faster!
I saw him scolding with a straight face: "Presumptuous!"
"The selection of imperial merchants is the most prosperous time for Jianghuai and Jianghuai counties! How can I allow you to play such a childish game?"
"That son of yours is even more audacious! He dared to break into the county magistrate's house for this! Do you know that for such a crime, he can be severely punished and killed on the spot!"
"But fortunately, no big mistake has been made. I think of you and the deep love between father and son, so I gave permission to Shenji Cloth Shop to replace the cloth."
"Thank you, sir. The common people know their mistakes and will abide by the law from now on." Shen Guicheng said fearfully.
Qian Tong looked at this scene, his face instantly turned pale, but he could only sit down reluctantly.
Sheriff Huo has finished saying both good and bad things, what else can he say?
"In that case, please wait a moment, we will make another selection." Wu Yunxuan also stood up and said with a smile.
In the back hall of the Sheriff's Mansion, Wu Yunxuan stroked the plain white silk and marveled.
"What a brocade! It's such a rare and good brocade!"
"The touch is cold and comfortable, yet as light as paper."
"If such brocade is made into clothing and worn on the body, it will feel very comfortable even in the hot summer."
"I don't know where Shen Gui found such fine brocade."
"Hmph, as long as Mr. Wu is satisfied, it will also prove that this evil person like me did not do it in vain." Huo Yan snorted coldly and said.
"Hey, Master Huo, what are you doing?"
"If possible, I certainly don't want to be biased."
"But the Liuyun Satin produced by Qian's Cloth Shop was, after all, the royal tribute cloth of Nanliang three years ago. If you really let this cloth become the tribute cloth of my Daqian."
"Not to mention that I can't live with my face, but now that the Holy One knows about it, Long Yan will definitely be furious."
"At that time, not only you and me, but even Lord Sinong will be punished."
Huo Yan could only sigh when he heard this.
It can only be said that Qian Tong is a good businessman, but lacks political consciousness.
He couldn't imagine how important reputation was to the royal family and Daqian!
Especially Daqian who is about to send troops to the Northern Expedition to Dayan!
What's more, the current Holy Emperor, who excels in civil and martial arts, vows to be the king of ZTE who can do great things.
Could the cloth used be the discarded cloth of the Nanliang royal family?
Whenever Qian Tong brought out other pieces of cloth, he would fully support it and would never secretly pass the news on to Shen Gui.
After all, he is the parent officer of Jiangnan County!
