Chapter five hundred and forty-eight dangerous people
Chapter 548 Dangerous People
At this time, it was still dark.《》
A layer of light green smoke floats over the county town, like a ribbon, surrounding the streets and alleys.
There was no one on the bumpy streets. Beside the streets, the edges of the stone bricks were also covered with a layer of white frost.
In the corner of the wall, drops of cold dew condensed on a withered yellow wild grass.
In this misty morning light, there is a beautiful light shining.
The breeze blew slowly with a chill, and the clothes fluttered, feeling slightly cold.
The fat county magistrate stood respectfully in front of the Yuelai Inn, quietly closing his eyes, waiting for the door to open. Behind him, a group of officials kept sniffing and looked at the closed door eagerly.
It was a cold winter day, and before he knew it, the fat county magistrate's eyebrows were covered with a layer of white frost.
Well, it seems that I can remember the sound of even and deep breathing, continuous and accompanied by low snoring.
The master next to him frowned and was about to turn around and scold him, "Which bastard rushed to sleep at this time? Isn't this a slap in your face?"
However, the moment he turned his head and saw the crystal clear saliva flowing out of the corner of the fat magistrate's mouth next to him, the master was immediately stunned.
However, he admired his boss's ability.
The ability to sleep while standing up without being blown by the wind is unique in the world.
However, this time is obviously not a good opportunity to show off your sleeping skills.
After the master saw that the door was still closed, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then stretched out his elbow to bump the master's stomach.
After being pushed twice, the fat magistrate, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up.
Then he raised his hand and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth. Without saying a word, he cupped his hands and clasped his fists, then bent at ninety degrees and said respectfully: "I'm here to meet the emperor!"
Behind him, those officials who were so sleepy that they kept yawning saw their master bending down. They didn’t understand what was going on, and they all followed the master’s bending down and handed over their hands.
The master was left standing there stupidly.
"No..., Master!" The Master was dumbfounded and quickly waved his hands to explain. Seeing these officials who knelt down and kowtowed without seeing anything, the Master couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I haven't come out yet, you...
"
Before I finished speaking, I heard a pleasant-sounding voice coming from behind me: "Oh, I overslept for a while, I'm sorry. Please encourage me!"
When the master heard the sound, his body trembled and he turned his head with difficulty.
Seeing the scholar in a long gown looking at his master with a smile, the master was stunned and didn't know what to do for a moment.
When he saw the emperor's master looking towards him, the master quickly saluted, knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed with his hands in a panic: "Young man, I have seen you, sir!"
"As officials in the same dynasty, there is no need to be like this. Get up!" Lu Heng smiled, raised his hand, and said to the nervous master in a natural manner.
After hearing this, a group of officials straightened up.
The fat magistrate took advantage of the fact that the Imperial Master was not paying attention, raised his eyebrows at the bitter-faced Master beside him, and smiled proudly.
Hey, I go to sleep, but my ears are still alert. Otherwise, can I become a master?
Beside me, the master looked downcast as if he were mourning his heir.
"Since we're here, let's have a meal here together!" Lu Heng glanced at these officials who were well-dressed but thin. After smiling, he turned around and said to the shopkeeper who was trembling with fear.
: "Store, are you still not welcoming customers?"
The little old man's body trembled, and he woke up as if from a dream. Then he flew up and kicked the waiter on the butt: "If you don't take care of all the adults, why are you standing there?"
The waiter nodded hurriedly, like a chicken pecking at rice. He turned around and ran towards the inn. (《》)
"It's open, busy!" the waiter shouted as he ran. He was so excited that he didn't look at his feet. He almost tripped over the threshold of the door.
After stumbling to regain his balance, the waiter ran into the kitchen without stopping.
After a while, smoke rose, and the aroma of food gradually filled the lobby of the inn.
Not long after, the waiters in the shop were singing and serving wine and food to the officials who filled the hall.
Suddenly, the deserted hall became extremely lively.
The fat magistrate hasn't come to his senses yet. He was originally here to greet the adults and then treat them to a meal. However, why did the adults suddenly treat him to a meal?
"Sir, sir, here's a drink to you and your wife!" The fat county magistrate picked up the wine cup, stood up, looked at Lu Heng and the beautiful woman beside him, and stammered.
Lu Heng smiled, picked up the wine cup, raised it, and drank it all in one gulp.
Beside her, Su Qianqian had finished her glass of wine, with a touch of red on her pretty face, which made her look particularly charming.
Seeing Lu Heng turning his head and staring directly at her, Su Qianqian felt shy and glared at him fiercely.
I seem to be thinking of that embarrassing move last night.
Lu Heng stretched out his hand and pressed the small hand on his waist, then held it tightly in his hand and never let go.
Su Qianqian blushed and struggled for a moment, but finally had no choice but to let him go.
Lu Heng picked up the wine cup, took a sip, turned his head, looked at the fat county magistrate sitting next to him, and asked lightly: "Did you ask anything yesterday?"
When the fat county magistrate heard this, his body suddenly shook and he stood up as he spoke.
Lu Heng shook his head and pointed with his chopsticks at the chair he sat on: "Sit down and talk!"
The fat magistrate nodded gratefully, and after sitting upright, he glanced around and said in a low voice: "Replying to my lord, after receiving your order yesterday, I immediately put down my bowls and chopsticks, and did not even bother to eat or even put on my clothes."
Even though they were not dressed, they went directly to the lobby, and then ordered the county police officers to gather at the county government office within half a stick of incense. In the meantime, although the official was hungry, he still could not bear to drink a sip of water, let alone
Eat a steamed bun. After the police officers were due, the official immediately began to arrange the arrest plan. Originally, the official wanted to go with the police officers, but considering that the county government needed a heavyweight to be in charge, he had no choice but to
Staying in the Yamen, feeling guilty as the policemen take risks to arrest people, I feel uneasy!"
Listening to the fat man describing what happened, he was praising himself like a flower. Lu Heng couldn't help but admire that for every boss, he has his subordinates.
Yesterday, Lu Heng was quite surprised and even a little shocked when he saw the cleverness of those detectives in arresting the spies.
What kind of person could teach such a shameless policeman?
However, now that he saw this fat man, Lu Heng was immediately in awe.
Sure enough, the strongest has its own strong opponent, and every mountain is higher than the next!
However, now the fat county magistrate's face is red, and the extremely excited narrator tells how he was so worried and how he cared for his subordinates yesterday. As he spoke, his saliva flew everywhere.
Even Su Qianqian on the side frowned, glanced at the dishes on the table, and put down her chopsticks with a look of regret.
"Ahem!" Lu Heng saw that the fat man was getting happier and happier as he talked. Feeling dissatisfied, he just interrupted him and said, "Master Ran, can you tell me the key points?"
"The key point?" The fat man was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized it. He reached out and patted his forehead, picked up the teapot and took a sip, and then said with high spirits: "Finally, the lower official shook his body and showed his domineering attitude. Those few
Xiao Xiao's disciples..."
"Let's get to the point!" Lu Heng coughed, tapped his fingers heavily on the table, and frowned at the fat man.
The fat man who was talking excitedly was startled by the emperor's cold shout. He quickly stopped talking, raised his sleeves and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and condensed his words into one sentence: "They are Shu."
His Royal Highness’s people!”
"People from the King of Shu?" Lu Heng was not surprised by this answer. After hearing this, he just raised his eyebrows, smiled slightly, took a sip of the wine in the glass, looked at the fat magistrate and said, "What else did they say?
"
"They are not sure about your identity, sir, they are just suspicious. However, according to their account, His Highness the King of Shu has said that anyone who is suspected can be killed!" When Fatty County Magistrate said this, he also felt sorry for the King of Shu.
His Highness has a vicious mind.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, we will kill anyone who is suspected. This method of killing a thousand people by mistake rather than letting one go is still vicious!
The fat magistrate raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his head, then continued: "They originally wanted to poison me in the past few days, but unfortunately your guards were too powerful and they didn't succeed!"
"This is the testimony that the official typed out from the mouths of the two spies yesterday! Sir, please read it!" The fat magistrate turned around warily, glanced at his colleagues at the other table, and secretly took it out of his arms.
A piece of crumpled paper was handed into Lu Heng's hands respectfully.
After doing all this, the Fatty County Magistrate raised his head and secretly looked at the Imperial Master in front of him. After reading this testimony, he saw that this gentleman was as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened. But... The Fatty Magistrate
After seeing the flash of smile at the corner of the emperor's mouth, he suddenly felt cold all over.
At this moment, he suddenly realized.
This gentleman is a great man who just burned to death 300,000 Turks in a fire in Shuofang, causing the Turks to flee in panic and shocking both the government and the public!
Looking at the Imperial Master with a calm face and far-reaching eyes, I remembered the tragic war that the Imperial Master personally directed.
The fat magistrate was afraid and couldn't help but lower his head.
"It seems..." After a moment, Lu Heng came back to his senses. He folded the testimony and hid it in his sleeve. He picked up the tea and blew the hot air. He turned around and smiled slightly: "Follow me.
Aren’t people who are together in danger all together?”.
A ray of cold light flashed through his eyes as calm as water.
In an instant, Fatty Magistrate's whole body was as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
He seemed to see a scene where the moon was dark and the wind was high, flames burned the sky in the palace of the King of Shu, and blood flowed into rivers.
The breeze blew into the hall, carrying the intoxicating aroma of wine.
However, the fat magistrate shivered as if he was trapped in a thousand years of ice.
