"The next time we meet again, I believe that the agreement between you and me today has already begun to take shape."
Zhu Yue cupped his hands and said to Zheng Kongming.
"Thank you, Brother Zhu!"
Zheng Kongming stood behind Zhu Yue and sent Zhu Yue out.
As soon as Zhu Yue and others came out, they saw Han Ba and several people standing beside the carriage, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
Zhu Yue didn't say anything.
Instead, he got into the car directly and waved goodbye to Zheng Kongming. After the car had traveled a few miles, he leaned out of the car window and waved to Han Ba.
Han Ba has been waiting anxiously for a long time.
Seeing Zhu Yue's greeting, he quickly urged the horses to come to the side of the carriage and drive abreast.
"What's going on?"
"Looking panicked?"
"Those who achieve great things must be careful not to reveal their true feelings to others."
Zhu Yue said slowly.
"yes!"
"My lord taught me a lesson."
Han Ba took a deep breath, lowered his head and said.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Zhu Yue asked.
"grown ups!"
"After receiving news from the court, the imperial envoy sent to Sanhe County, Heyang County did not return!"
Han Ba stepped forward and whispered.
"oh?"
"The imperial envoy is missing?"
"Where's the county magistrate?"
Zhu Yue asked Han Ba.
"After my subordinates got the news, they sent people to Heyang County to inquire. According to the news, the county magistrate named Zhang was indeed escorted out of the city that day. When my subordinates searched along the road, they only found the damaged carriage.
, I guess it was robbed by bandits."
Han Ba continued.
"estimate?"
Zhu Yue said calmly.
"this……"
"Subordinates deserve to die!"
"My subordinates failed to investigate well, please punish me!"
Han Ba was immediately sweating profusely and his back felt chilly.
"It has already happened. Even if I punish you, it will be useless."
"Besides, after you received the news, you immediately went to inquire about it. This is already commendable. You are much more mature than before."
"It's just that we must be careful when encountering problems in the future. Everything must be based on evidence, not your guessing. Otherwise, we will be the unlucky ones in the end."
Zhu Yue waved his hand and said to Han Ba.
There were no mood swings.
"yes!"
"Thank you, sir. Please keep this in mind."
Han Ba wiped the sweat from his forehead.
I am extremely grateful to Zhu Yue.
"You have to think about it, what kind of bandits dare to rob the emperor? If there are such powerful bandits, how can Sanhe County be so stable?"
"Besides, the bandits are just trying to steal money. What do they want from people? If there are no bodies, it means they are after people."
"Maybe it's just a play performed by County Magistrate Zhang himself."
"It's really interesting. For such a person, no wonder Chen Dadao wanted to take him under his command and promote him to the county magistrate, regardless of the risk of offending Ge Hong."
"I remember, that person's name seems to be Zhang Bao, right?"
Zhu Yue thought for a while and asked Han Ba.
Unexpectedly.
Zhu Yue could only rely on Han Ba's few words to deduce that this was Zhang Bao's self-directed and self-acted escape plan.
And a dignified governor.
I actually remember the name of an acting county magistrate so well.
This person is really amazing!
"right!"
"I fell into the hands of this person that day."
Han Ba was still frightened by the previous confrontation with Zhang Bao.
"The imperial court will not pay attention to this matter for the time being. Let Chu La handle it."
"I just want to give Chu La a warning to be careful about things in Sanhe County. Now that Chu La has been brought up, he needs to practice more."
"I hope he won't disappoint me too much this time."
"..."
Zhu Yuefeng said calmly.
It's as if this matter is a trivial matter.
See Zhu Yue's reaction.
Han Ba, who was still a little flustered, calmed down instantly.
yes!
There are adults here, are you still afraid that a small county magistrate will turn the world upside down?
Your Excellency is a person who can turn his hands into clouds and his hands into rain!
Han Ba was thinking as he drove his horse forward, taking the first step towards Heyang County.
…
Yunzhong County City Gate.
Several horses galloped towards this side.
The soldiers guarding the city watched the coming people from a distance.
"Isn't that General Song?"
"Why are you so panicked?"
"Did anything else happen in Sanhe County?"
A soldier said loudly, pretending to be confused.
"Sanhe County?"
"What's the meaning?"
Another soldier next to him didn't understand what it meant. He heard the movement and came over to ask.
"I heard that General Song went to Sanhe County this time to inquire about General Zhang and his team."
"You don't know?"
"It is said that after General Zhang and his friends left, no news came back."
"Maybe something happened."
The soldier said in a very showy manner.
"How do we, the little soldiers, know about this kind of thing?"
"Can't you see that your brother still has this way?"
"To know these things."
Several soldiers nearby came forward and said.
A flattering look on his face.
"It's just so so, what's the point?"
"It's just that my sister is the concubine of the current magistrate of Yunzhong County. Speaking of which, I can be regarded as the brother-in-law of our county magistrate."
"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."
The soldier waved his hand nonchalantly.
The slightly raised corners of his mouth could not be suppressed no matter what.
Watching Song Mingli approach the city gate.
The county magistrate's brother-in-law hurriedly greeted him.
"Hey, General Song, what happened in Sanhe County?"
The county magistrate's brother-in-law asked with a smile on his face.
"Go away!"
"Don't stand in my way!"
Song Mingli didn't even respond, and swung the whip towards him. The county magistrate's brother-in-law quickly dodged, and Song Mingli rushed in directly.
A group of government officials at the door were left covering their mouths and almost suffered internal injuries from holding back.
Inside the Yamen at this time.
Li Mu was sitting in front of a beautiful woman.
During the recent period, Li Mu has been really depressed.
Simply marrying a few concubines will bring bad luck!
But Li Mu has always been thinking about the beautiful woman left behind by Xie Yunsong.
Before.
This beautiful woman is a prostitute in a brothel. She is known as a prostitute who sells her art but not her body.
When Li Mu was not yet the county magistrate.
I once tried to buy this girl's first night with a lot of money, but I didn't succeed.
That kind of aloof and proud posture simply made Li Mu intoxicated.
Who admits it.
A few days later.
When the waiter was closing the window on the second floor, the wooden pole supporting the window fell down and hit Xie Yunsong on the head.
Xie Yunsong was almost beaten to death.
Xie Yunsong was immediately furious.
At first glance, she turned out to be a pretty little beauty.
Xie Yunsong then lay on the ground and fainted.
Then there was this delicate little beauty who had no choice but to promise to marry Xie Yunsong.
When Li Mu found out about this.
Like a bolt from the blue.
This was also a very important reason why Li Mu made up his mind to betray Xie Yunsong.
Now Xie Yunsong has run away.
This beautiful woman naturally fell into Li Mu's hands.
But Li Mu didn't want to be tough.
What I love is this aloof style in a beautiful woman.
Just like when I rejected myself before.
Li Mu was intoxicated.
"Xie Yunsong is already dead. Just obey me. Do you want to remain a widow to him for the rest of your life?"
"As long as you agree to follow me, I will give you whatever you want!"
Li Mu said to the beautiful woman in a sincere tone.
The beautiful woman frowned and said nothing.
"I'm telling you, my patience has its limits."
"I heard that there is a father in your family, right?"
"What do you think would happen if we put him in prison?"
Li Mu had seen this for several days, but the beautiful woman was still indifferent, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
He said coldly to the beautiful woman.
"you--"
The beautiful woman had tears in her eyes and turned to look at Li Mu angrily.
But I don't know.
This expression of anger, tears, and resentment greatly stimulated Li Mu's sense of superiority.
"Today, you must obey!"
“You have to obey even if you don’t obey!”
"Otherwise, I will put your father in prison and torture him to death!"
"Now, kneel down for me!"
"Kneel down in front of me and take off your clothes!"
Li Mu said with a sinister smile.
The beautiful woman had tears in her eyes and finally lowered her head.
A pair of hands gently untied Li Mu's clothes, and he knelt in front of Li Mu, just as he was about to untie Li Mu's clothes with his hands.
