After not seeing each other for more than three months, Jiangzhou City has changed again. When Ling Xin'an stepped into Jiangzhou City, it was still early summer when he left. Now it is much more lively and prosperous. With the support and cooperation of Jiangzhou City, major chambers of commerce have created

The prosperous city that emerged has finally begun to take shape thanks to their efforts. The streets are clean and tidy, and have been widened a lot. There are more pedestrian passages on both sides, bonsais and flowers are planted at the corners of the streets, and the roads have also been decorated with ferocious flowers.

Lanterns made of animal skins only need to be lit by the chamber of commerce responsible for making them at night. They are everywhere along the way, and the fee is paid by the roadside chamber of commerce in a small amount every month, so there is no need for each chamber of commerce to make their own lanterns in front of their shops.

It seems to cost more, but it is more trouble-free and beautiful.

The streets are full of dazzling things, and more and more goods are being sold in the same market or chamber of commerce. The excitement of Jiangzhou City has just begun.

Ling Xin'an entered Jiangzhou City without revealing his true face, otherwise he was really worried about being recognized again, so he wore a veil and came to the door of Ling Mansion.

There is no one guarding? Looking at the empty Ling Mansion, Ling Xin'an frowned slightly. There were no guards in front of the Ling Mansion, and no one could be seen. Entering the inner palace, there was no cheering or enthusiasm as expected, and a deserted view.

Less than one person.

Ling Xin'an took off her mask and sat in the hall. The entire Ling Mansion was surprisingly quiet at this time.

There was no one in sight, and no maid came over. According to the past, if Xia Xiaoyu was at home, she would definitely be the first to come out to greet her. Even if she wasn't there, Xiao He wouldn't have been there for a long time.

Ling Xin'an just sat like this, with no one in sight. After a quarter of an hour, Ling Xin'an stood up and walked towards the government office.

The government office was still the same, but when Ling Xin'an's figure appeared at the door of the government office, the two detectives on guard looked at Ling Xin'an's figure, their eyes widened, and then tears flowed down uncontrollably.

"Sir, you, you are finally back!" After saying that, the two of them knelt down with a plop and burst into tears: "Please, my lord, save Master Duan as soon as possible!"

Ling Xin'an looked at them and recognized them. One was Lei Bing and the other was Zhao Hu. He said calmly: "Get up. What happened in the government office? Come with me and tell me."

After saying that, he was about to go in, but his hands were held by Lei Bing Zhao Hu. Zhao Hu said, "Sir, you can't go in?"

Ling Xin'an stood still, turned around and looked at him doubtfully: "Why can't I enter my official office?"

"Sir, you, you, you have been dismissed. At this time, Jiangzhou Prefecture is Mr. Wang." Zhao Hu said.

Ling Xin'an looked at the two of them and smiled: "Since there is a new government office, shouldn't it be more important to go in and pay a visit? After all, I am also the previous government office!"

After that, he ignored the two of them and stepped in. Lei Bing and Zhao Hu looked at each other and followed.

The government office has not changed, but the people inside have changed. When Ling Xin'an's figure appeared in front of the lobby, he heard an angry shout: "Who is it? How dare you break into the government office without permission, stop!"

Ling Xin'an looked around and saw a group of unfamiliar police officers standing in two rows, staring at him with murderous expressions.

In the lobby, there was a man in his early twenties sitting. Hearing the sound, he looked up and his eyes met Ling Xin'an's.

This person is Wang Qin, the new government official of Jiangzhou City. When he saw Ling Xin'an, a light flashed deep in his eyes, and the shock on his face flashed past, and then he smiled and said: "You are so presumptuous that you don't even look at it."

Who does it look like? Please come in quickly!"

After that, he walked down from behind the desk and said with a smile on his face: "Master Ling, Wang Shanqin pays homage to Master Ling!"

Ling Xin'an cupped her hands and said: "I don't dare to take it seriously. I didn't expect that Ling had been out for inspection for more than three months, and when he came back, he found that he had been dismissed. I wonder if Mr. Wang has any documents?"

Wang Qin said: "Master Wu, bring the documents up."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a fat man walking over with a double beard and a fair face with a faint cold look. Ling Xin'an glanced at him and said, "This Chief Wu seems to have come to the wrong place?"

As soon as he said these words, Master Wu's expression changed dramatically, and he instantly returned to his original state: "Lord Ling is joking, I will follow Lord Wang to take office. I will go wherever he goes."

Ling Xin'an said calmly: "It seems that the two of you really have a deep friendship. It is rare to see such colleagues who advance and retreat in the same direction."

Master Wu smiled softly and said, "It's Mr. Wang's great love."

With that said, he took out the document and said: "We are investigating Jiangzhou government office Ling Zhian. During his tenure, he disappeared for no reason, neglected government affairs, neglected the government, failed the emperor's favor, and was dismissed from his post. Wang Qin, the government office of Jingzhou government, will be summoned immediately.

After taking office, I hope to work hard and serve the imperial court."

Ling Xin'an knelt down and took it, looking at the date, it was an official document issued by the official department of the Great Zhou Dynasty a month and a half ago. This was a formal and authentic document, and there was no fraud.

"Sir Ling, I also received the official document from the Ministry of Personnel. I just took up my post a month ago. I thought I would be able to hand over to you in person, but you are not here, so I can only wait until today!"

Ling Xin'an said: "Since the officials feel that Ling is not capable enough, there is nothing wrong with sending an adult to manage him. He who is capable will take his leave."

After that, Ling Xin'an was about to leave, but Wang Qin's words came from behind again: "Master Ling, please stay!"

Ling Xin'an turned back, looked at him, and said calmly: "Master Wang, what are your orders?"

Wang Qin looked at him and said with a smile: "Master Ling, you can't leave my house!"

"Oh?" Ling Xin'an turned around and said, "Ling has been dismissed from his post as acting agent. Does Mr. Wang still want to rectify the law on the spot?"

Wang Qin said: "How dare you? It's just that Wang discovered something that shouldn't have been discovered in the more than a month since he took office."

Ling Xin'an's eyes flashed with cold light, and she looked at Wang Qin, who looked at Ling Xin'an with a smile on his face: "Master Ling, you are also from a famous family. You should be dedicated to serving the court, but you are acting like a fool and colluding with merchants.

In order to seek wealth and profit, and deprive the people, I have sent people to investigate how many people have been plundered by Mr. Ling during his tenure."

Ling Xin'an said: "So, have you detained or killed the people in my Ling Mansion? Where is Chief Duan?"

Wang Qin said: "Sir Ling, I am also an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Naturally, I enforce the law impartially and do not distinguish between right and wrong. They will not be executed until they fully explain themselves."

Ling Xin'an nodded and said: "Master Wang is really an upright official. I wonder if Master Wang has found anything?"

Wang Qin said: "Master Wu, look at what crimes Master Ling has committed?"

Master Wu bent down slightly and took out a piece of paper from the desk and said: "Ling Zhi'an, the former Jiangzhou government official, committed four crimes. The first was massacring prominent families, the second was colluding with officials and businessmen, the third was plundering people's wealth, and the fourth was

Neglect of duty.”

Ling Xin'an smiled and said: "Master Wang, Ling looks like he has committed a very serious crime!"

Wang Qin sneered and said: "Sir Ling, for the sake of you and me being colleagues, it would be better for you to just restrain your hands!"

Ling Xin'an looked at Wang Qin and Chief Wu and said, "Two of you, should Ling ask a question or not?"

Wang Qin was confused, looked at Ling Xin'an, and said with a smile on his face: "Sir Ling, please ask."

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs asked you to come to Jiangzhou City to take up the post, but did they ask you to investigate me?"

As soon as these words came out, Master Wu's face changed drastically, and Wang Qin also looked stunned. He looked at Ling Xin'an and was speechless for a moment.

"It seems that there is no more!" Ling Xin'an sighed: "Ling thought that people from the official department dared to risk the disdain of the world and do such a thing openly."

Ling Xin'an looked at him and said, "Master Wang, you also come from a family of officials, why do you do this? Ling really can't figure it out, can you help clear up Ling's doubts?"

Before Wang Qin could answer, Master Wu said coldly: "Master Ling, you have blatantly violated the laws of the Zhou Dynasty. Master Wang has arrested you and brought you to justice in order to set the record straight and bring peace to the people of Jiangzhou. Isn't this what the officials of the Zhou Dynasty should do?"

Something?"

Ling Xin'an nodded: "Master Wu is right. Lei Bing and Zhao Hu, follow the order and close the door for me. I want to confess properly. No one else is allowed to enter the government office for the next thing."

Lei Bing Zhao Hu said: "Yes, sir!"

Wang Qin and Chief Wu looked shocked and said, "Come here, capture the prisoner Ling Zhian for me!"

Whoosh...

Two rows of detectives immediately surrounded Ling Xin'an, while the latter looked at Wang Qin and Chief Wu and sighed: "Master Wang, don't blame me. If you want to blame, I can only blame you for being too greedy!"

…

Outside the gate of Jiangzhou City, there was a beeping sound. Hundreds of cavalry were rushing towards Jiangzhou City. The leader at the front was undoubtedly Captain Huang Sheng, who was galloping over at high speed and desperate.

At Jiangzhou City Gate, the soldiers guarding looked at the hundreds of mighty cavalry with murderous faces. Their expressions changed drastically. They were about to light the beacon tower, but they heard the voice of Captain Huang Sheng: "Open the door quickly, Jiangzhou Mansion."

There is civil strife in the government office, so I, the captain, will go in immediately to rescue the government officials."

When the guards heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded. There was civil strife in the government office, but no news came from the government office. You must know that the reason why the Zhou Dynasty separated the garrison troops from the government office was to guard against rebellion by the government office or the garrison.

"Master Huang, I didn't receive it," the guard on the left said.

"I have received a letter from your lord, take it!" After saying that, he threw a letter over and it read: "There is civil strife in the government office. Come quickly, Ling!"

The guard looked at the letter and suddenly shouted excitedly: "Yes, yes, it is Master Ling's handwriting!"

The guard next to him heard this and quickly grabbed the letter, and then he was equally excited: "It's really Master Ling, he's back, why don't you hurry up and open the door!"

After saying that, he turned around and opened both sides of the door, completely forgetting to return the letter to Captain Huang.

In the busy street, the deafening sound of horses and cavalry suddenly rang out. Before passers-by could react, they heard the voice of the garrison troops: "Everyone, please get out of the way immediately. Quickly get out of the way."

Hundreds of cavalrymen marched neatly and loudly with a cold and solemn force in Jiangzhou City. It was like huge thunder striking the hearts of the people in Jiangzhou City, shaking them with thumping thumps.

Like a galloping tiger, it rushed towards the government office in an instant. When the men and horses disappeared before their eyes, the people in Jiangzhou City realized that these cavalry were heading towards the government office.
