Although the county magistrate would like Zhao Jin to eat two more pieces, but...
The county magistrate sneered in his heart: One piece is enough.
Zhao Jin's eyelids drooped, and a crumb of pastry caught his sight, and he brushed it away calmly.
The county magistrate sitting aside did not see this scene. He had been estimating the time since Zhao Jin took the cake.
He didn't know what Zhao Jin said about sending people to investigate. Did he move reinforcements to other counties?
Therefore, no matter what, the county magistrate could not wait for the investigators mentioned by Zhao Jin to return the news.
About a quarter of an hour later, the county magistrate suddenly asked: "Sir, I would like to go for a convenience."
Zhao Jin nodded slightly but did not stop him.
The county magistrate who immediately stood up and went out had a ferocious expression on his face for a moment. When he walked outside, he was greeted by the already anxious county lieutenant.
"How is the situation?" the county magistrate asked.
The county lieutenant was restless, "Sir, the mine and the miners have just been discovered!"
Hearing this, the county magistrate's expression changed drastically, "How many people does he have?"
"A lot, probably more than 10,000 people, if you add up both sides."
The county magistrate couldn't help but take two steps back, gritting his teeth, "Zhao Jin! Do you have to go against me?"
His eyes became increasingly sinister, "You forced me to do this!"
"Later, you will lead the people to surround the flower hall!" The county magistrate flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "Since he insists on investigating, I will let him go to the underworld to investigate!"
Zhao Jin in the flower hall moved his ears slightly. When he heard the slight movement from outside, he narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled.
Soon, the county magistrate came back.
At this time, his face looked relaxed, and he no longer had the anxiety he had before.
"Sir." The county magistrate looked at Zhao Jin and suddenly asked: "I don't know how long it will take to investigate the iron ore that your Excellency mentioned?"
Zhao Jin raised his head when he heard the sound, "It should be soon. Don't be anxious, magistrate."
The county magistrate chuckled, stared at Zhao Jin closely, and lowered his voice, "Then if it is true, how do you plan to deal with it?"
"Really?" Zhao Jin chewed on this sentence and murmured.
The next moment, Zhao Jin said sternly: "Of course we will act in accordance with Zhao's laws!"
The county magistrate's face suddenly darkened, and he asked sullenly: "What if this matter was ordered by the prince?"
Sure enough, there is indeed someone else behind the county magistrate.
In the Liang Prince's fiefdom, the only one who directly addresses himself as Prince is Liang Prince.
What did King Liang want with these iron mines? To make money, or to make weapons?
No matter what, King Liang deliberately concealed the iron ore, probably for the sole purpose of rebellion!
Zhao Jin stood up and put his hands behind his back. Thoughts were rolling in his mind, but his face showed no signs of change. Instead, he frowned suddenly and looked at the county magistrate inexplicably.
"Don't talk nonsense here. How could your father do such a thing?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Jin's eyes turned cold, "Is it possible that the county magistrate's words are acknowledging the iron ore matter?"
"So what if the official admits it?" The county magistrate smiled and looked at Zhao Jin, "Sir, do you think you can really do anything to me now?"
After his face was exposed, the county magistrate no longer called himself "low official".
Zhao Jin had a stern look on his face, his gaze was like a sharp arrow shooting at the county magistrate, "Why does the magistrate think that there is nothing I can do?"
"Hahahahaha!"
The county magistrate laughed out loud and mocked: "Do you want to say, sir, that you have found soldiers from other counties?"
"But……"
He drew out his voice and curled up the corners of his lips, "Before they arrive, my lord, I'm afraid your head will be gone."
Zhao Jin's face changed slightly, "What do you mean?"
His eyes moved, and suddenly he remembered something, and said sharply: "Are they those pastries?"
"Hahaha, sir, it's too late for you to realize now."
A sly smile appeared on the corner of the county magistrate's lips, "Soon, the poison in your body will take effect."
As soon as he finished speaking, the county magistrate's voice deepened, and he waved his hand and said: "Arrest this person! Pretending to be a county guard, trying to deceive!"
Suddenly, a large number of soldiers rushed in from outside and surrounded Zhao Jin tightly.
Zhao Jin looked at the county magistrate, his expression unchanged, but he tilted his head slightly, "The county magistrate thinks they can take my life?"
Zhao Jin's final tone was slightly upturned, with obvious doubts.
"Is it possible? You'll know if you try it?" The county magistrate suppressed his voice, his voice was low and deep, hiding a lingering coldness, like a slimy poisonous snake, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Zhao Jin couldn't help but frown, "You'd better shut up."
After saying this, Zhao Jin took the initiative and attacked the nearest soldier.
The fist was clenched tightly, and with the wind of the fist, it hit the soldier beside him directly.
Zhao Jin's speed was too fast and he was caught off guard. In the blink of an eye, he had already knocked a soldier to the ground.
The county magistrate's pupils shrank suddenly. He had heard about Zhao Jin's extraordinary martial arts before, but he didn't take it to heart.
A useless prince who had never learned martial arts since he was a child, looked so thin and weak that the county magistrate thought he was just bragging by those people.
After all, many children from aristocratic families are like this, they are boasted as martial arts wizards even though they have no real strength.
The county magistrate retreated to the door in panic, looking at Zhao Jin who was facing hundreds of times more soldiers and still not losing, with a gloomy expression on his face.
Let me let you be proud for a moment. Even if Zhao Jin is not at a disadvantage now, it will not be easy to break out from the siege of these people. He only needs to wait until the poison on the cake takes effect.
The county magistrate snorted coldly, Zhao Jin at that time was just meat waiting to be slaughtered!
The soldiers in the flower hall became more frightened the more they fought with Zhao Jin. There were so many people, but they couldn't do anything to one person!
As time passed, the county magistrate looked at Zhao Jin, who was still in high spirits, with surprise and uncertainty.
He, why didn't he react at all?
The county magistrate glanced around and grabbed the maid who brought the pastry. "Didn't I ask you to put medicine on the pastry? How come Zhao Jin doesn't have poisonous hair yet?"
When he ordered people to bring the cakes, he specifically explained that only the top piece of cake placed on his side was not poisonous.
So the county magistrate at that time took the lead in picking up a piece of pastry and tasting it.
This was not only to dispel Zhao Jin's suspicion, but also to avoid Zhao Jin taking away the pastry later.
The maid panicked and said, "Slave, I don't know! I mixed the powder into the medicine according to your instructions!"
The county magistrate pushed the maid away and locked his eyes firmly on Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin seemed to feel something, and took a moment to glance at the county magistrate, and said loudly with a smile: "Your Excellency, the county magistrate, is it strange that I have taken the cake, but there is no reaction at all?"
"Because," Zhao Jin dodged the attack of the soldier behind him, turned his wrist, and pierced the sword directly into the belly of the soldier behind him.
"Because, I didn't swallow it at all."
