"As expected of a general who leads troops into battle, Mr. Jin is indeed straightforward in his words."
The county guard was also a veteran in officialdom. He was just stunned for a moment before he reacted: "Since you are tired, sir, I have something to say directly."
"Please tell me, Sheriff."
In his previous life, Jin Feng hated official speech, and he was too lazy to guess the meaning of other people's words.
If you are outside, just cooperate with the county guard.
But now that there are only two of them here, Jin Feng really doesn't have the energy to spend time with him and say useless polite words.
If you have that free time, you might as well go back and tease Tang Xiaobei.
"Sir, you should know Zhou Wenyuan's identity, right?" the county guard asked.
"I know, he is from the Zhou family in the capital. It is said that he still has some status in the Zhou family."
"Since sir knows this, why do you still ask me to issue any sea arrest documents?"
The county guard simply said: "As long as the principal culprit is caught, Zhou Wenyuan is just an accessory. Sir, please listen to my advice and stop pursuing it. I will handle this matter."
"Master Sheriff, do you think I still have the final say on this matter now?"
Jin Feng said: "If I don't pursue the case, won't Zhou Wenyuan not pursue it?"
In fact, he had known for a long time that it was impossible for the county governor to issue sea arrest documents. He just wanted to test the county governor's attitude.
Now he knows the result.
This county guard is really too old and has no fighting spirit at all. Maybe he just wants to work quietly until he retires.
"Don't worry, sir. You have sought justice for the sacrificed sergeants. I will give my full support to you, sir."
The county governor said confidently: "I will write a memorial in the evening and report it to the court to punish Zhou Wenyuan. He will never dare to come to Guangyuan again."
In fact, he was in the same situation as Jin Feng. Zhou Wenyuan's behavior was like smearing daddy on his face. If he could bear it, he would not only become a laughing stock in the official circles, but also be looked down upon by everyone, who came to bully his noble association.
more and more.
Therefore, he must submit a memorial and strongly demand that Zhou Wenyuan be punished to express his position.
How the court handles it is none of his business.
As for Zhou Wenyuan, after causing such a big disaster, it would be strange if the Zhou family allowed him to get out of his way again if he was punished by a memorial.
We have to go to court anyway, so let’s just sell Jin Feng a favor.
"Thank you so much, Lord Sheriff."
When Jin Feng talked about Zhou Wenyuan, it was just an excuse.
Since the county governor is willing to pay tribute to the fire, that would be great.
"Then let's not talk about this matter. Sir, just wait for my news."
The county guard poured Jin Feng a cup of tea and suddenly asked: "I wonder what you think of Zhou Changlin, sir?"
"Zhou Changlin?"
Jin Feng was slightly startled.
We were talking about Zhou Wenyuan just now, why did we suddenly jump to Zhou Changlin?
Although the two of them are somewhat related, the topic jumps a bit too quickly.
"Sir, don't say you don't know who Zhou Changlin is?"
The county guard pushed the tea cup in front of Jin Feng: "If I guess correctly, sir, you suddenly brought so many people from Jinchuan to the county. In addition to looking for Miss Xiaobei, you probably also want to take action against the Zhou family, right?"
"Why did the Sheriff say this?"
Jin Feng was a little confused about the governor's intention for a while, so he could only refrain from answering for the time being.
"Sir asked me to speak out if I have something to say. Why did I say it, but sir pretended to be confused?"
The county guard smiled and said: "It's not right for Madam Zhou to plan to kidnap Miss Xiaobei, but hasn't she done it yet?
As the saying goes, catching a thief and catching stolen goods is like catching a thief. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for Mr. to attack the Zhou family just because of a plan? "
Hearing this, Jin Feng couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
It is indeed true that those who do not die in old age are thieves.
The county guard looked old and cowardly, but after hearing what the county guard said, Jin Feng realized that everyone underestimated the county guard.
His control over Guangyuan City is by no means as simple as he shows.
Yes, Dakang's transportation and communications were very backward. It took a long time for the emperor's orders to be transmitted from the capital to Guangyuan, so the power of local officials was very great.
He has been able to sit in the position of Guangyuan County Sheriff for so many years. How can it be simple?
"Since you know that Zhou Changlin's mother-in-law wants to attack Xiaobei, you should know that it's not that she didn't dare or didn't want to, but that she didn't find the opportunity and was beaten to the punch by Zhou Wenyuan."
Now that everything has been said, if you don't admit it, you will be treating the county guard as a fool. Jin Feng said: "You can only commit a thief for a thousand days, but there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days. If I don't care about it, how can Xiaobei still be in the county in the future?"
City life?”
"Sir, don't be angry. As far as I know, Zhou Changlin didn't know about this matter from beginning to end."
The county guard said: "I will ask Zhou Changlin to come over tomorrow and give him a beating. Zhou Changlin is a smart man. I believe he knows what to do."
Jin Feng did not answer immediately, but thought silently in his heart.
"Sir, I heard that you made great contributions on the border and could have become a general. Qinghou also supported him very much, but he chose to return home."
The county guard continued: "If I'm not wrong, your husband should not be interested in fame, but rather be interested in iron smelting and businessmanship. Am I right?"
Jin Feng took a deep look at the county guard and did not deny it.
"Since you are interested in the way of merchants, you should be friendly and make money."
The county guard said: "And once my memorial is sent, the court will definitely send someone to investigate, because something that has not happened yet, sir, is going to go to war against the Zhou family, which will leave a very domineering impression on the angels, which is really not the case.
necessary."
This was also the second thing he asked Jin Feng for.
Neither Jin Feng nor Zhou Changlin are unknown people in Guangyuan. Once the two of them fight, the commotion will definitely not be small.
The angel he is talking about is not the winged angel in the West, but the abbreviation of the emperor's envoy, which is the same position as the imperial envoy in previous movies and TV dramas.
If the angels saw this situation, it would make the emperor feel that he did not manage Guangyuan well.
"I will carefully consider your advice, but Zhou Changlin must give Xiaobei an explanation."
Jin Feng did not deal with the county guard this time, but really listened to his words.
The Sheriff is right. Too many things have happened recently. It is indeed inappropriate to attack the Zhou family because of something that has not happened yet. It is easy for others to get caught.
If the Zhou family in the capital used this as an excuse to counterattack him, he would be very passive.
"Sir, don't worry. If Zhou Changlin doesn't give Miss Xiaobei an explanation, I won't be willing to do it either."
The county guard noticed that Jin Feng's tone had begun to loosen, and immediately promised.
Having said what needed to be said and chatted for a few more words, Jin Feng stood up and left.
After leaving the Sheriff's Mansion, Jin Feng was about to mount his horse and go back to the inn when he heard a surprised shout: "Hey, Mr. Jin?"
Jin Feng turned around and saw a girl wearing a green waistband standing not far away with a smile.
