The escort process was unimaginably smooth, and there was no ambush as imagined.
Before sunrise, the group arrived in Fengshui County safely. The arrest of the Feishabao water bandits shocked the entire county government, and the city gate was opened before dawn. The county magistrate Rong An personally led everyone in the county government to greet them at the city gate.
The whole county mobilized with unprecedented enthusiasm.
Zhuang Weizhe had a sullen face and stood proudly like a victorious hero. He accepted the praises and compliments from all directions with peace of mind.
"These military masters have worked hard and achieved great results. The subordinates will immediately report this matter to the emperor to ask for credit for the military masters." Rong An smiled and bent his eyes and bowed to the end, sincerely convinced.
"The military masters have worked hard all night and are exhausted, so why not go to the post house to rest first. At noon, the officials and the government will hold a banquet to welcome the military masters." Rong An raised his head and smiled with his face.
"Yeah." Zhuang Weizhe said with a cold smile: "That's it."
"I am the county magistrate Fu Yun. Please follow me to the inn for the military lords." Fu Yun said with a smile on his face: "I have already prepared a room for the military lords to ensure that they can be comfortable.
Feel comfortable and feel at home.”
Zhuang Weizhe twisted his neck and felt tired: "Then hurry up and stop talking."
Fu Yun didn't feel embarrassed and smiled enthusiastically: "Master Jun, please."
"Leave the prisoner to your subordinates." Rong An glanced at the mighty water bandits behind Lin Chu: "Master, just rest and don't worry about it anymore."
"That's fine." Lin Chu nodded: "Lin Changxi, you and Zhong Si go to the prison with Master Dianshi. After the handover is done, hurry up and meet me at the inn."
After saying this, the young man's cold eyes quickly glanced at Zhong Si.
Zhong Si responded in a low voice, and a cold light flashed quickly in her eyes. However, her expressionless face never attracted attention.
That ray of light disappeared into nothingness.
Fengshui County is close to Beijing, and everything in the county government office is comfortable and complete. At noon, the county magistrate Rong An personally welcomed Zhuang Weizhe and Lin Chu into the government office.
There are banquets and banquets in the courtyard, and the faint aroma of wine fills the air privately.
Rong An looked at Zhuang Weizhe, with a smile reaching his eyes: "Why is Third Young Master Zhuang here alone? Where are the brothers you brought with you?"
"Them?" Zhuang Weizhe raised his eyebrows with disdain in his eyes: "They are just servants of the generals, how can they be qualified to sit with me at the table?"
"Neither do you!" The man glanced sideways at Lin Chu with a bright gaze.
Rong An's smile froze, and he touched his nose when he saw the tension between the two sides. He coughed to cover up his embarrassment: "Since we are colleagues, we are also friends. Let's eat and drink well, and forget our grudges with a smile."
"What grudges do I have with her?" Zhuang Weizhe sneered: "Does she deserve it?"
"Excuse me, sir, please set up another table. I disdain to sit at the same table with these vulgar people."
"This...this..."
Zhuang Weizhe's deterioration was beyond Rong An's expectation. There were two people around him. One was the confidant of Da Sima and the other was the beloved son of the chief minister. Who could he offend?
Rong An quietly wiped his sweat and looked at Lin Chu for help: "Master Lin Liu, what do you think?"
I wish this man wouldn’t be so mean!
"Ayan, did you sleep well just now?" Lin Chu turned his head and looked at Duanmuyan, whose face was ashen. His soft voice resolved the anger in the little girl's eyes, but he also completely ignored Zhuang Weizhe and Rong An.
"Not really." Duanmuyan shook his head: "The bed is too hard, damp and uncomfortable."
"What about you?" Lin Chu looked at Xiang Su and asked.
"I can't sleep." Su Wen said calmly: "I just lay down and heard the next door snoring like thunder, grinding my teeth and farting. It's too noisy."
Lin Changxi was very surprised, her peach blossom eyes revealed her surging desire for knowledge: "Isn't Zhong Si living next door to you? She still has this habit?"
