"Master, have mercy on me! Master, please have mercy on me!" As soon as the cloth was removed from Li Jin's mouth, Li Jin began to cry and beg for mercy.
"That's enough!" the prefect shouted angrily. Li Jin, who was already in a bad mood, became even more irritable as he cried. "If you keep howling for me, I will kill you right now."
Li Jin hurriedly closed his lips, not daring to make another sound.
"If someone comes to ask you a question, you have to give me an honest answer. If you answer something wrong, someone will ask someone to cut an object on your body." The prefect looked at Li Jin with a heart-wrenching expression.
Li Jin was extremely frightened and nodded hurriedly: "Master, just ask, if you know anything, Jin Ding should tell you everything."
"Yes!" The prefect nodded. Li Jin's cooperative attitude made him feel better.
"I'm asking you, how many waiters are there in your wine shop?" The prefect's voice was low and full of murderous intent.
"Two." At this time, Li Jin had realized that he had not offended the imposing man in front of him, but it was Zhao Fei who really offended him. He just said the wrong thing and was brought here.
After suffering this unreasonable disaster, all the old and new hatreds gathered together, and Li Jin's hatred towards Zhao Fei reached a certain point.
"Is there a man named Zhao Fei?" The prefect didn't know Li Jin's psychological changes, so he still asked in a low voice.
"Sir, there is indeed a man named Zhao Fei." Li Jin nodded hurriedly.
"Where did he go?" After hearing that Zhao Fei was indeed there, the prefect grabbed Li Jin and asked with a sinister look on his face.
"The thief Zhao Fei is from Zhaojia Village. He resigned from my shopkeeper early this morning and went home." Li Jin thought about it for a moment and then said everything. Facing the prefect's destructive aura, Li Jin felt
He is like a small boat in the stormy sea. If he is not careful, he will sink and disappear forever. To be fair, Li Jin does not want to die.
After letting go of Li Jin, the prefect thought for a moment and continued to ask: "Where is Zhaojia Village?"
"This... this little one doesn't know." Li Jin cried sadly, how did he know where Zhaojiacun was.
"Do you want to die?" the prefect shouted.
Li Jin was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder split and his pants were soaked. "Master, have mercy, master, have mercy. I really don't know where the Zhaojia Village is. I only heard Zhao Fei say it to my shopkeeper, but
I have never been there."
"Huh!" Seeing Li Jin looking like this, the prefect couldn't help but feel a little disdainful.
At this time, Wang Xiang, the anchor on the side, said: "Sir, I remember there is a city gate commander in the city. His name is Zhao Meng. He seems to be from Zhaojia Village."
"Oh?" The prefect looked towards Wang Xiang after hearing the sound, and then asked: "How can Jingrui remember such a small city gate order so clearly?"
Wang Xiang bowed and said, "I have been watching this man for a long time. He is quite brave. I would like to recommend him to you, sir."
"Yes!" The prefect nodded thoughtfully. "With Jingrui's discernment, you can see that there is something extraordinary about this person. In this case, you can ask someone to call him."
"No!" Wang Xiang obeyed the order and went down. Then he glanced at Li Jin who was crying and asked, "What about him, sir?"
"He will keep it for now, he will use it later." The eunuch didn't even look at Li Jin again, turned around and walked out.
The prefect returned to the study and waited for a while, then Wang Xiang came in with Zhao Meng. Seeing Zhao Meng behind Wang Xiang, the prefect's eyes lit up. Zhao Meng, who was wearing armor, looked extremely brave and exuded a little bit of aura.
He has a murderous aura, and he has obviously killed people before. He has a resolute face, and if he is trained well, he will probably be a good general.
The two of them wanted the eunuch to salute him first, but before Wang Xiang could introduce him, the eunuch spoke first: "I just heard from Jingrui that you were very brave, and I still didn't believe it. But now that I've met the real person, I believe it. I didn't expect this."
A brave warrior is just a small and talented city gate commander."
"Your Excellency, that's a compliment." Zhao Meng clasped his fists and saluted, without much expression on his face, but his heart was filled with joy.
"Let's not talk about this for now." The prefect reached out his hand to stop Zhao Meng, then stood up and walked over with his hands behind his back. When he came to Zhao Meng, he asked: "I heard from Jingrui, are you from Zhaojia Village?"
"My lord, Meng is indeed from Zhaojia Village." Zhao Meng answered honestly, but there was a trace of doubt in his heart. He didn't know why the prefect asked this question.
"Since you are from Zhaojia Village, do you know that there is a young man named Zhao Fei in Zhaojia Village?" The prefect became more and more anxious as he spoke, and when he mentioned Zhao Fei, there was a little anger on his face.
"But there is this person. This person left the city and returned to the village before the Lord entered the city." Zhao Meng was secretly surprised. He did not expect that Zhao Fei's name would actually appear in the prefect's mouth. But seeing the fierce look in the prefect's eyes, he should
Not a good thing.
"What?" the eunuch asked in shock and anger. "You actually let him slip under my nose." The eunuch was angry and angry. He didn't even think about it. Even if Zhao Fei was standing in front of him at that time, he would know the young man in front of him.
Who is it? But after thinking about it, I felt that I had made a mistake. The prefect shook his sleeves and continued to say to Zhao Meng: "Since you know this person, I have something for you to do. If you do it well,
, I remember that this county still lacks a captain."
The meaning of the prefect is self-evident. How could this leader Zhao Meng not be extremely happy? He was promoted from a small city gate commander to a captain. Zhao Meng hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you for the promotion, my lord. What can I do for you, lord?"
You can let Meng do it as much as possible, and Meng will not hesitate even to the death."
"Well!" The prefect squinted his eyes and looked at Zhao Meng in front of him. The prefect was very satisfied with Zhao Meng who knew current affairs.
"I want you to find some trustworthy people and bring me the heads of Zhao Fei's family." I saw the vicious look on the prefect's face, and his eyes were filled with shocking murderous intent. Even Zhao Meng, who had killed people before, didn't
I can't help but feel a little scared.
"No." Zhao Meng felt a little timid and intolerable at any time, but when he thought about his successful career in the future, the timidity in his heart was replaced by a burning passion.
"Okay! Go down, I'm waiting for good news for you. Remember, don't let me wait too long." The eunuch narrowed his eyes and said.
"No." Zhao Meng kowtowed here and was about to get up and go out when he heard the eunuch behind him say again: "Remember, you did it neatly and beautifully."
"Please don't worry, my lord!" Zhao Meng turned around and clasped his fists in salute. After Zhao Meng left, the prefect was still a little worried, so he said to Wang Xiang, "Jing Rui, go and take a closer look, if there is anything wrong elsewhere."
"No." Wang Xiang took the order and came out.
"Hahaha, I will kill your son-in-law's family to see who dares to marry your daughter." Everyone in the study room left, and the prefect said with a gloomy face.
Let's talk about Zhao Meng. When he came out of the prefect's mansion, he began to think about how to handle the things assigned by the prefect. Zhao Fei's family had no sympathy for what they were about to face. He blamed them on their unlucky circumstances and offended the prefect. They used their
My head will be used as a stepping stone for my promotion. The more Zhao Meng thought about it, the more excited he became, and he could not help but clenched his fists with his hands.
Just when Zhao Meng was excited, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. It turned out to be Wang Xiang, the chief clerk. Zhao Meng hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you so much, chief clerk, for your support. I will never forget it."
Wang Xiang helped Zhao Meng up and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. You and I will be officials in the same court, and there will be no distinction between you and me from now on."
"Master Wang, it's too early to speak. I haven't figured out how to do it cleanly and beautifully. How can I compare with you, the host?" Zhao Meng complained, not only to kill people, but also to do it cleanly.
It’s really difficult to do it quickly.
"What's so difficult about this?" Wang Xiang thought for a moment and then said.
After hearing Wang Xiang's words, Zhao Meng's eyes lit up, his face lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "I hope the chief clerk can give me some advice."
"Come here." Zhao Meng obeyed the instruction and put his ear to it. Wang Xiang whispered a few words to Zhao Meng's mouth. After saying that, Zhao Meng looked a little unbearable, and then he said: "Master Secretary
,Is this really the case?”
"Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters." Wang Xiangzhi said softly, and the unbearable look on Zhao Meng's face was replaced by a firm lock.
Seeing Zhao Meng's change, Wang Xiang couldn't help but nodded.
