Zhao Jin suddenly remembered something, "So, it was Mingrui's mother, the previous head of the Ming family, who rejected the county guard in the first place?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Seng Fan was about to leave, but he stopped when he heard this and looked at Zhao Jin with some doubts.
Zhao Jin pondered for a moment, and then said: "Tell Mingrui that his mother still refused the county magistrate even to death, and ask him if he wants to see the Ming family's reputation ruined by Sun Ruijie."
What Zhao Jin did not say was that he suspected that the county guard was also involved in the death of Mingrui's mother.
Can Sun Ruijie alone control the entire Ming family in such a short period of time?
Zhao Jin and Bai Wu did not stay any longer. After giving instructions to Seng Fan, Zhao Jin stood up and left.
After that, they had a tough battle.
Two hours later, Zhao Jin and Bai Wu stood at the gate of Guanlong County's government office.
The yamen guard in front of the door immediately shouted sharply: "Where are you coming from? This is the government yamen! Leave quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jin's face suddenly turned cold, and his sharp and cold eyes fell on the Yamen Guard who had just scolded him, forcing him to take a step back.
Fang Fang took a step back, and the Yamen Guard came to his senses. He became angry and was about to draw his knife to give the two men a good look when a token was struck directly in front of them.
This was given by Zhao Qian. Those who hold this token can kill them first and then report them, and they even have the right to kill princes and nobles directly.
The Yamen Guard, who had been so eloquent just now, felt his legs weaken and almost knelt down in front of Zhao Jin.
Bai Wuchao took two steps forward and walked in front of Zhao Jin, "How outrageous! This is the Duke of Xuanping, who is here to investigate the case of privately manufacturing salt on your Majesty's order!"
Bai Wu's face has always been expressionless, and compared to Yang Xu, he is more cold and cold. Now his face is serious, and he looks even more intimidating.
Another yamen guard swallowed his saliva, stood up and said: "I don't know that this villain is the Duke of the country, so I ask the Duke of the country to forgive me."
Zhao Jin didn't have a good look on these bullying government guards, and said coldly: "Get out of the way."
"Yes, yes, yes!" These government guards don't have the slightest bit of arrogance from just now.
They all moved away, revealing the door of the government office. When Zhao Jin was about to walk in, the government guard who spoke later asked with a smile on his face: "My lord, will I take you in?"
Zhao Jin glanced at him and did not refuse.
The Yamen Guard breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly to the front to lead the way for Zhao Jin.
When he stepped into the threshold, he winked at the yamen guard on the side, who nodded knowingly.
Immediately afterwards, the Yamen Guard turned his head and smiled and said to Zhao Jin: "Master Guo, please come this way, please come this way."
Zhao Jin walked like a dragon and a tiger, his steps were so long and so fast that the yamen guards almost had to trot to lead the way for Zhao Jin.
As soon as Zhao Jin and others left, there were government guards walking towards the depths of the government office from another way.
Zhao Jin was taken to the flower hall where the government office entertained guests. He was not polite and sat down directly on the main seat.
As the Duke of the country, Zhao Jin should sit in the chief seat even if this is the governor's office.
The yamen guard looked on, dumbfounded and did not dare to say a word. The maid next to him did not know who Zhao Jin was. When she was about to ask, the yamen guard glared at her.
"Why don't you go and serve tea! This is the Duke of Xuanping! You've neglected me, and you can't even afford to pay for it even if you have nine lives!"
Zhao Jin frowned, a little unhappy with the Yamen Guard's words, but he didn't say anything in the end.
The maid was shocked and without much care, she quickly served tea to Zhao Jin.
In the backyard of the government office, Wang Xikang was squinting his eyes to admire an ornament in his hand.
It is a golden horse with various agate stones inlaid on it.
"Sir! Your Excellency! Your Excellency is not well!" The Yamen Guard's voice sounded.
Wang Xikang's face darkened, he put down the golden horse in his hand, and scolded: "I am very happy with you, sir!"
The reprimanded yamen guard didn't care much and said quickly: "The Duke of Xuanping is here!"
"What?!" Wang Xikang screamed, so frightened that he jumped up from his chair and took two steps forward.
Because he was in a hurry, he didn't pay attention, and Wang Xikang's sleeve robe hit the golden horse on the table.
"Clang!"
The golden horse was carried by the sleeve robe and fell to the ground. Wang Xikang immediately shouted "Hey!" and squatted down to pick up the golden horse.
However, the pure gold horse was a bit soft in texture, so a fall caused a dent in it, which made Wang Xikang feel distressed.
He put the golden horse on the table and asked, "Has Duke Xuanping entered the boundary of Guanlong?"
"No," the Yamen Guard licked his lips twice and said in a low voice, "Duke Xuanping is waiting in the flower hall now."
Wang Xikang almost thought there was something wrong with his ears, "He, how could he arrive so quickly?"
"You haven't received any news?!"
The Yamen Guard shook his head and said with a grimace, "The villain was also shocked."
Wang Xikang took a breath and saw that Zhao Jin came to the government office. He did not receive any news on the way. He did not even know when Zhao Jin arrived in Guanlong County or how long he had been in Guanlong County.
It seemed that Duke Xuanping was more difficult to deal with than he thought.
Recalling the letter from Bianzhou, Wang Xikang raised his hand to hold his hat on his head and walked outside.
"You, help me pack these things immediately."
Wang Xikang raised his finger and pointed at the golden horse. When his eyes fell on the depression above, pain appeared on his face again.
If it had been in the past, he would have held the golden horse and felt distressed for a long time, but now he didn't have this time.
Zhao Jin waited for more than a quarter of an hour, and Wang Xikang finally arrived.
"I don't know that Duke Xuanping has arrived at Guanlong. I am not able to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me!"
Wang Xikang had just stepped into the door of the flower hall and walked towards Zhao Jin from a distance.
Hearing this, Zhao Jin's expression remained calm, and the corner of his eye never fell on Wang Xikang, as if he had neither heard nor seen a living person like Wang Xikang.
Zhao Jin lowered his head and sipped the tea and sighed in his heart: The main reason was that Wang Xikang was too fat, so that he clearly didn't even look at Wang Xikang, but his big belly inevitably caught his sight.
.
Wang Xikang's expression was slightly stiff. He was bending down and holding his hands. Zhao Jin's attitude made him dare not stand up for a while.
After a quarter of an hour passed, Wang Xikang felt sore from his shoulders to his waist, and his muscles were stiff.
Wang Xikang carefully relaxed his shoulders and hands, stood up straight, and was about to put his hands down.
"Pah." Zhao Jin placed the tea cup on the table with a crisp sound.
Wang Xikang's heart almost jumped with this crisp sound.
"My officer said, is it possible that the Sheriff is up?"
Zhao Jin raised his eyes and stared at Wang Xikang, his voice slightly cold, "Is this the etiquette for Mr. Wang to meet me?"
