Chapter 632: The magistrate of Shangyuan County trembles
At this time, the county magistrate Wang An had no idea that a disaster was coming.
He sat on a chair and looked at the file in his hand, not taking this matter to heart at all.
The master next to him had already noticed something was wrong, and he stood in front of Wang An respectfully.
"Master Wang, the man we drove away today said something huge happened in the temple, and there were many corpses. I think you should send someone over to take a look."
Wang An frowned slightly when he heard his master's words.
He was furious when he looked at the file in his hand, and he was slapped on the table hard.
"I am the county magistrate. Everything you do must be approved by me. Now if I don't ask anyone to check, no one will dare to go."
The master was stunned for a moment.
He also didn't think about why this matter would become so difficult.
Wang An just wanted to investigate the truth of the matter as quickly as possible.
But now they can see clearly that things are not that simple.
From the beginning of the arrangements, these plans seemed to be stronger than they thought, and these people had their minds set on them from the beginning.
Someone died in the temple, this matter is not trivial.
Nowadays, there are rumors in the court that Zhu Yuanzhang is observing everything clearly.
If the matter of incognito private visits falls on them, Wang An's black hat will not be saved at all.
The master couldn't bear it anymore, so he gave Wang Anzai some reminders.
"No matter what, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is secretly visiting the entire Ming Dynasty. If he knows that something like this happened in our Shangyuan County, no one will take care of it."
"I'm afraid that when the time comes, your Excellency will also be affected."
After the master's reminder, Wang An suddenly realized that the matter was indeed very serious, but he had already beaten the people away. What happened to the temple?
He didn't know at all.
Wang An suddenly felt a little panicked.
Zhu Yuanzhang's private interviews in various places, if it is really found on his head, he may be implicated.
Wang An thought about it carefully.
"Then you go and find that person now. Then we can ask clearly what is going on."
Wang An has no other options now. When he made the arrangements, he actually knew it better than anyone else.
If at this juncture, he is really implicated, I am afraid he will be severely punished by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Now he doesn't dare to have anything to do with officials.
What Zhu Yuanzhang hated most was forming cliques for personal gain.
He has no way to stabilize the current situation, so he has no way to solve all these problems.
However, at this time, Zhu Han and He Fengyu had already arrived in Shangyuan County.
This is very different from the upper line he imagined.
Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang had spent a lot of time in Shangyuan County before, but when they saw the people living a stable life.
Zhu Han had mixed feelings in his heart. During the previous battle, the people were in dire straits.
Now they can finally take a breather, but they didn't expect that the murders would happen one after another.
"Master, it's going to get dark soon. How about we find an inn to stay in and then go to the government office early tomorrow morning."
He Fengyu was worried about Zhu Han's health. He couldn't let anything happen to them at this juncture.
Zhu Han was caught in the rain a few days ago and kept coughing. He Fengyu even gave Zhu Han some medicine.
Zhu Han heard He Fengyu's words and shook his head gently. Now is the time when his life is at stake, and he cannot let others be favored.
What's more, Zhu Yuanzhang and Gao Fei are still waiting for them in the temple.
"Let's go to the government now. I don't believe they don't care about the lives of the people at all."
What Zhu Han hates most is that someone would cause him greater worries because of this incident.
For the sake of the people all over the world, this murder case in Shangyuan County must be investigated clearly, and justice must be given to those in the temple.
When Zhu Han and He Fengyu came to the county government office, they set up the county government office's gatekeeper. They gritted their teeth and stepped forward to beat the drum.
Soon there were two government officials in the county government office.
"What are you doing here?"
The officer's attitude was very tough and he stepped forward to arrest He Fengyu.
He Fengyu stood in front of them and stared at these people intently.
"I've already told you that this is the county government. If anything happens, get ready as soon as possible."
Zhu Han stood behind him and saw the two ferocious government officials in front of him. They were so angry that they had to deal with life-threatening matters, and now they were deliberately causing trouble for them.
Faced with the current situation, they will not waste time.
When the yamen officer saw Zhu Han and He Fengyu reaching out, they had considerable doubts about their identities.
Then he immediately made preparations and wanted to investigate the ins and outs of this matter.
Zhu Han wants to see Wang An.
The government officials had no choice but to lead the way. By this time, they had realized that they seemed to have offended someone they shouldn't have.
Wang An was enjoying himself in the backyard. He even asked a few women to dress in gorgeous clothes and dance for him in the courtyard, without caring about the lives of the people.
When the master quickly told him that someone came to report the crime again, Wang An looked nonchalant.
"If they want to come, just come. You stopped them and we'll talk about it tomorrow morning. I don't want to go to trial now."
Wang An didn't take this matter to heart at all, but the master had already realized that something was wrong.
He quickly approached Wang An's ear and told him softly that the person coming had an extraordinary bearing and he suspected that he was Zhu Yuanzhang's person.
"My lord, no matter what the matter is, you should go to see me as soon as possible now. Otherwise, if this matter gets serious, it may have an impact on my career."
But no matter what the master said, Wang An was still a little worried. He didn't believe that Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang were fighting like that.
When I came to my own place, I was lying on the chair and wanted to continue drinking, but at this moment, there was a noise in front of me.
It turned out that Zhu Han and He Fengyu couldn't wait any longer, so they fought in. Several government officials lay on the ground and kept wailing. He Fengyu was leading the way for Zhu Han with a sword in his hand.
When he saw the scene in front of him, Zhu Han was very shocked that Wang An was so carefree and happy, and there were people drinking with him.
As a prince, Zhu Han has never experienced such leisure and elegance.
He Fengyu turned his head seriously and took a look at Zhu Han's face. He saw that Zhu Han's face was black and blue. He stepped forward and looked at Wang An condescendingly.
Wang An was a little embarrassed to be stared at by Zhu Han. He quickly stepped forward to stand up but found that his legs gave out and he knelt down in front of Zhu Han with a plop.
Upon seeing this, the master on the side quickly stepped forward to help Wang An, but Zhu Han suddenly raised his foot and stepped hard on Wang An's shoulder.
Wang An's fat body tried to stand up but to no avail.
Zhu Han looked at Wang An condescendingly, never expecting that as a county magistrate.
At this time, he still doesn't care about the life and death of the people.
There were so many murders happening outside the city and so many corpses lying around, yet he was still here just for fun.
"If I guess correctly, you are Wang An. Do you know who I am?"
When Wang An raised his head tremblingly and looked at Zhu Han, he suddenly realized that his death was probably not far away.
He stared at Zhu Han intently, feeling that his breathing was becoming weaker and weaker.
"Could it be that you are His Highness the Eagle King?"
Zhu Han snorted coldly.
"I didn't expect that your dog actually knew me. Why did you ignore my people coming to report the case, but you chose to enjoy yourself in this backyard? As an official of the DPRK, do you know your responsibilities?"
Only then did Wang An realize that he had been caught by Zhu Han.
His whole body was trembling slightly, and he quickly kowtowed and begged Zhu Han to spare his life.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know. No one came to the county government today to report anything. I have handled a lot of cases these days."
"I was just thinking about having a drink, but unexpectedly I met the prince. Sir, I was really wronged."
Zhu Han snorted coldly when he heard his words. At this time, He Fengyu, who was standing aside, could no longer stand it.
He stepped forward to look at Wang An and told him that he had sent someone to report the case in the morning.
"You'd better explain the situation clearly now. If you conceal even half a word, you will die without a burial place today."
As an official of the DPRK and China, how dare you do such a treasonous thing.
Zhu Han has already been extra open to him. If this continues, Zhu Han will naturally not let him show off.
I have thought before that when encountering difficulties, I must be well received by these officials as soon as possible, and now I have made arrangements.
Wang An felt that he was extremely urgent, and his breathing became rapid, so he quickly explained.
It must be that the people under my command were not doing things well, which was the reason why the time was wasted.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will definitely punish the people under my command, and I will never let the people's affairs fail to be implemented. Your Majesty, please calm down."
Zhu Han looked at Wang An and pulled his legs back. When he sat on the chair and looked at Wang An, he asked him to kneel in front of him.
"I don't want to talk nonsense with you right now. How about arranging for someone to investigate what's going on outside as soon as possible?"
"The murder of those monks in the temple was definitely a conspiracy. If you can't even handle this, I don't think you need to stay any longer."
Zhu Han has made it very clear that he will never let anyone continue to cause trouble for him.
I have thought before that when I come to Shangyuan County, there will definitely be a lot of problems.
I never thought that a mere official would dare to act so boldly.
Zhu Han looked at the dancing women who had been dispersed long ago, as well as the drinks on Wang An's table, and felt even more angry.
After this incident was over, he actually wanted Wang An to walk around without food.
Wang An did not dare to delay, and quickly arranged for Ya Yi to go to the temple Zhu Han mentioned and start investigating.
Zhu Han and He Fengyu didn't take him seriously, and they rushed back to the temple first.
However, at this time, Zhu Han discovered that something was not good about Zhu Yuanzhang and Gao Fei.
Both of them looked a little pale, and their bodies were extremely weak when they sat on the chairs.
Zhu Yuanzhang had sweat on his forehead, and his tone was weak when he looked at Zhu Han.
"Why did you come to the government just now? Have you come to investigate? It has been delayed for several hours. Do they care?"
As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he raised his hand and rubbed his sore forehead. For some reason, his body was so hot that he felt so hot that he had a severe headache. He had to force himself to ask Zhu Han about his situation.
Zhu Han quickly stepped forward and saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was so uncomfortable, and his heart tightened.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Gao Fei, what happened after we left just now."
Gao Fei coughed several times, then his vision went black and he fainted.
He Fengyu's glasses were in bad condition, so he quickly stepped forward and gently placed his hand on Gao Fei's wrist, detecting that his pulse was beating very weakly.
He immediately realized something was wrong. When he looked at Zhu Han, he suddenly had a terrible suspicion in his heart.
"When we entered the cellar last night, Gao Fei was the first one to go in, and I also found out that those monks were poisonous. I think Gao Fei might have been infected by the plague."
Zhu Han suddenly became nervous.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Gao Fei suddenly developed high fever, and they had to investigate quickly.
We can't let the two of them get hurt like this.
Zhu Han wanted to continue asking about Zhu Yuanzhang's physical discomfort.
It became increasingly difficult to speak. Zhu Han quickly stepped forward to help Zhu Yuanzhang up, and He Fengyu handed him a handkerchief.
"Master, there is currently no way to tell whether it is a plague or not. Please cover your mouth and nose first and don't have too much contact with them until I develop an antidote."
Zhu Han can no longer control that much. To him, the plague is not that important, it is just some minor hysteria.
Even if it turns into tuberculosis, as long as an antidote can be developed, that is more important than anything else. Zhu Yuanzhang is the king of a country, and he must not be affected here.
"Wang An and his people will be back soon. Hurry up and order people to stop them outside first. Don't let them break in."
"Otherwise, when the plague spreads, many people may be implicated."
He Fengyu quickly followed Zhu Han's instructions and arranged for people to block Wang An's arrival outside the temple gate.
At this time, Wang An had already led many government officials to the temple, but found that He Fengyu would not let them in.
Wang An instantly felt good about himself, as if he had been tricked.
"What on earth is going on? We were allowed to come all the way here but not allowed in. There must be something shady in this temple."
"Your Majesty, didn't you say that? Let us investigate, but you won't let us in. Why is this?"
Wang An's voice was very loud, which made He Fengyu hate him even more. The master on the side quickly stepped forward and pulled Wang An aside.
"Master Wang, we can't make false claims now. Since the prince has arranged for us to wait here, we can just wait for the prince's order."
"You must not hold back your words, otherwise the prince will really tell you what you said."
Wang An's expression changed instantly, and he stepped aside without daring to say anything more.
He didn't want to implicate the nine clans, so he could only wait for the news quietly.
