Immediately, people knelt on the ground at the yamen gate.
Xiao Lingyue mingled in the crowd and quietly looked up, only to see an ordinary carriage parked at the yamen gate.
The guard driving the car looked familiar, he was clearly someone from King Xiang's team.
Xiao Lingyue: "..."
Now it is certain that Lord Shen most likely came under Zhan Beihan's order.
I just don't know what the purpose is.
The carriage door opened, Minister Shen got out of the carriage and said calmly: "Master Ji, please get up."
Chief Secretary Ji then stood up and respectfully welcomed Shilang Shen into the yamen.
After some polite greetings.
Shilang Shen put down his tea cup and asked casually: "Why don't you see Mr. Li, the county magistrate?"
Master Ji immediately broke into a cold sweat: "This..."
He quietly looked at the yamen servant aside. The yamen servant shook his head nervously, indicating that Mr. Li had not arrived yet.
They are all rubbish! Please ask someone for not coming here for so long!
Master Ji secretly cursed in his heart and could only bite the bullet and apologize: "Master Shen, please forgive me. Master Li accidentally caught a bit of wind and cold while handling government affairs last night. He is a little unable to get up today. He is unable to greet Master Shen in person. I am sorry. I apologize to the magistrate!"
He stood up and wanted to salute again.
Shilang Shen waved his hand: "Master Ji's words are serious. I came in a hurry and didn't inform you in advance. It's not your fault."
Chief Ji breathed a sigh of relief before he could speak.
Minister Shen frowned slightly: "Unfortunately, I still have some private matters that I would like to discuss with Mr. Li."
Director Ji hurriedly asked: "I don't know what's going on? Although I'm a low-ranking official, I'm willing to serve you."
"Master Ji must have also received the official document from the imperial court. I was ordered to inspect the imperial mausoleum. I was supposed to arrive half a month later. I hurriedly sent the letter yesterday and Master Ji was frightened, right?" Shen Shilang said politely. explain.
"Your Majesty, you are serious. You were ordered to inspect the imperial mausoleum. This is official business, and the subordinates should cooperate. How can you dare to say that you are frightened?"
Master Ji had a smile on his face.
Of course he was frightened. He almost rolled out of bed when he received the news last night.
However, the county magistrate did not allow anyone to disturb him at night, and the people he sent to report the news could not enter the gate of Li's house. In a state of panic, Chief Ji had to lead his own people to clean up the yamen. He was so busy that he did not even dare to drink.
However, Chief Ji only dared to complain about these things in his heart, while his face was still respectful: "Master Shen arrived at Yuanmu Town a few days in advance. I wonder if he has some important business? I will definitely try my best to assist you."
Minister Shen sighed: "I'm ashamed to say that I came here in a hurry not for official business, but for a private matter. I want to ask Mr. Li for a favor."
Chief Ji is also a good person. Hearing this, he immediately scolded the others: "You all go down!"
"No need." Shilang Shen said, "I just want to ask Mr. Li to show your kindness and spare one person."
When the two men were talking in the main hall, the government officials stood aside with their heads down and breath held.
Boss Zhao, Qiao Qing and Xiao Lingyue were also standing in the corner and heard their conversation clearly.
A flash of understanding flashed in Xiao Lingyue's eyes.
Master Ji cupped his hands and said, "Master Shen, please give me a clear explanation!"
Shilang Shen said: "I am leaving the capital this time with an order, and I am accompanied by a young master from the capital. He arrived at Yuanmu Town a few days earlier than me. We originally agreed to meet here, but unexpectedly, I received a message from the guard yesterday. The letter for help said that this young man encountered something in Yuanmu Town and was actually arrested by the Yamen and thrown into prison."
Chief Ji: "What, what?!"
Shilang Shen had a helpless look on his face: "To be honest with Chief Ji, this young master from the capital has an extraordinary status, and I don't even dare to neglect him, so I hurried here overnight to ask for a favor from Mr. Li of Guixian County."
Shilang Shen said it very politely, but cold sweat fell from Master Ji's forehead.
