Immediately, Uwe led Pu Nu, and two injured followers, out of the post house and began to go to the county government.

Chapter 132 Chang'an County Magistrate

Chang'an is the capital of the Great Zhou Empire.

The official rank of Chang'an county magistrate is higher than that of ordinary seventh-rank county magistrates, ranking fifth rank.

After all, it is the county magistrate of the imperial capital.

Greater authority.

However, a position like Chang'an county magistrate is at the feet of the emperor, and there are dignitaries who come and go.It is extremely difficult for a mere Wupin county magistrate to gain a foothold in Chang'an.

If you don't pay attention, you will provoke people you can't afford.

Therefore, most of the county magistrates in Chang'an didn't stay long, or they caused people to be demoted, or they were released, or they were flat.Officials who can leave Chang'an with a smooth transfer are considered to have backgrounds.Those who can really be promoted to the post of Chang'an county magistrate are very few, almost rare.

The current county magistrate of Chang'an is named Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan himself did not have any good background, he was only from a prominent family in Kuaiji County.However, Zhao Yan was lucky. When he was studying in the Imperial College, he was appreciated by Wu Zongxiao, the Minister of Rites, and married Wu Zongxiao's daughter.

With this relationship, Zhao Yan was able to serve as the county magistrate of Chang'an.

And has served for more than two years.

According to Wu Zongxiao's consideration, after the emperor's birthday, he suggested to the prince that Zhao Yan should be transferred to the court as an official instead of the county magistrate of Chang'an.After all, serving as the county magistrate of Chang'an may face risks at any time.

On this day, Zhao Yan was dealing with government affairs in the study.

Zhao Yan is a man with abilities.

To be the lord of a county and the county magistrate of Chang'an County, there is no ability.It's just that he also knows that there are dignitaries coming and going at the feet of Emperor Chang'an, and he can't afford to provoke many people, so he handles government affairs cautiously.

Fight for no one to blame.

Even if you want to offend, you must offend someone from King Qi's lineage.

He can't control the people at the bottom.

When Zhao Yan was dealing with government affairs, suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the study, and the attendant entered, bowed and said: "Master, a group of Huns came from outside the county government office, saying they want to seek justice."

"What, the Huns are coming?"

Zhao Yan raised his brows, and a dignified look appeared on his refined face.

The emperor's birthday is approaching, and the Huns came to the county government to file a complaint at this time, which must have involved something.Once the Huns are angered, there will be unhappiness.It would be bad if the incident spread to the court and even affected the mood of the emperor.

During this period of time, Zhao Yan had already arranged for someone to let the people of Chang'an be careful, and they must not offend the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and other envoys from Western Regions gathered in Chang'an.

Try not to provoke them if you can.

Got into a lot of trouble.

Fortunately, during this time, nothing happened.Unexpectedly, Zhao Yan was cautious everywhere, but something happened.Zhao Yan was furious, but he didn't dare to delay. He ordered people to invite the Huns to the hall.

Zhao Yan also changed into an official uniform, and followed him to the hall.

When he entered the hall, Uwe and others had already arrived.

Seeing Zhao Yan, Uwei held his head up, pointed at Punu and the two guards, and snapped: "Magistrate Zhao, this king is the envoy of the Xiongnu mission, Uwei, the Right Wise King of the Huns. This is the second son of my Xiongnu Great Chanyu, Prince Punu."

"Pu Nu is the deputy envoy of the mission. Look at his current appearance, how was he beaten?"

"Is this the etiquette of Da Zhou?"

"I brought the mission to Chang'an to congratulate the Emperor of the Great Zhou. But the people of the Great Zhou were too rampant. They not only beat up my Hun prince, but also broke the arms of the prince's entourage and crushed their finger bones. even broken ribs."

"Such a vicious person must be severely punished."

Uwe raised his head, his eyes were sharp, and he said fiercely: "If you don't give me an explanation for this matter, I will never let it go. I, the Hun Mission, would rather make a mess than seek justice."

Zhao Yan's face changed drastically.

He is not without eyesight. The bright red five finger marks on Pu Nu's face, the red and swollen cheeks like a pig's head, and the air leakage from his grinning mouth make his scalp numb.

Think about it, feel pain.

Zhao Yan saw Pu Nu's bodyguard's hanging arm again, his clothes were stained with blood, and his expression was painful and ferocious.Seeing this scene, Zhao Yan couldn't help shivering.

The arm was abruptly broken.

The phalanges of the five fingers were pinched and broken.

So cruel!

Zhao Yan withdrew his gaze and said solemnly: "Youxian King, who is so bold to beat up Prince Punu and Prince Punu's followers like this. Specifically, what happened."

Uwe explained: "The general thing is that Prince Punu took his entourage and went to the border of Chang'an to play. When passing through Shangyuan Village on the east border of Chang'an, it was almost noon, and he went to the village for dinner."

"During the meal, I saw a woman in the village who had a good conversation, so I asked her about something."

Uwe looked angry and said: "Prince Punu was talking with the woman, unexpectedly a group of people rushed out of the village, a man named Wang Qi took the lead, beat Prince Punu, and even beat the prince's entourage into pieces. Seriously injured."

Zhao Yan frowned.

He didn't believe in the so-called going to the village to eat or talk. It was definitely Pu Nu who went to snatch the woman.

He had heard about Pu Nu robbing people for a long time.

It's just that Uwe said that in order to reverse black and white.

Zhao Yandao: "Prince Punu, what is Wang Qi's identity? Are they people who live in Shangyuan Village?"

Pu Nu shook his head and said: "They are not from the village, they are guests in Shangyuan Village. They are going to come to Chang'an. Magistrate Zhao, you must give me an explanation. Never give up."

Uwe also said: "Yes, the Huns must give me an explanation."

Zhao Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, after all, he was not a rich man, but someone who came to Chang'an.If he was from Chang'an and dared to take action against the Huns, he would most likely be a powerful person.

He can't afford to mess with such a person.

Zhao Yan turned his mind and asked, "Youxian King, how do you plan to arrange it?"

Wu Wei said in a deep voice: "Wang Qi was able to overthrow Prince Punu's personal guards. His strength is not simple. Therefore, the county government must send troops to arrest him. Of course, this king will also personally go to help."

After a pause, Uwe continued: "Prince Punu is going back first, and Wang Qi, a ruthless man, is already on his way to Chang'an. Please county magistrate Zhao, immediately mobilize troops to the east gate of Chang'an to stop Wang Qi A group of people, arrest them all and bring them to justice."

Zhao Yandao: "I will send the order now."

Immediately, Zhao Yan issued an order to gather the servants of Chang'an County Yamen, and then left the county Yamen to the east gate.

Uwe and Punu also followed.

When the group arrived at the gate of the city, they waited quietly.

Pu Nu waited for a while, feeling a little impatient, and said: "Youxian King, Wang Qi must have already entered the city."

"How can it be so fast."

Uwe shook his head and said: "You just returned to the city, and you found the magistrate Zhao when you came back. They are staying in the village, and there must be follow-up arrangements. It is impossible to arrive so soon. Don't worry, the person who hurt you , cannot escape."

Pu Nu nodded and waited quietly.

After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, two carriages appeared on the official road in front of them, and they were driving.When Pu Nu left Shangyuan Village, he saw two carriages at the entrance of the village, and when he saw them now, he immediately said, "Here we are, those two carriages."

Zhao Yan also cheered up.

He was even more angry in his heart, and he was very polite, why did he provoke the Huns.

Even more involved him.

Zhao Yan was upset, so he planned to punish him severely.He waved his hand and ordered: "Come on, stop the people in the two carriages and bring them here."

"Yes!"

The yamen servant got the order and immediately went forward quickly.

Chapter 133

A group of yamen servants, more than thirty people.

Everyone rushed forward, and after a while, they surrounded the two carriages.

The leading yamen servant shouted: "Who is Wang Qi, get out immediately."

Hearing the voice of the yamen servant, Wang Qi raised the curtain of the carriage door, saw Pu Nu at the gate of the city, and immediately laughed.

Really shot.

Wang Qi got out of the carriage, stood proudly, and said, "My son is Wang Qi."

"Take it!"

The leading yamen servant, without further ado, gave the order directly.

The accompanying yamen servants stepped forward immediately.

"stop!"

At this moment, Ke Liang and Lin Yuanchong yelled at each other.

The two are dressed in extraordinary clothes, and their demeanor is even more outstanding.Although the servants of the Chang'an County Yamen are quite arrogant, they know how to read their words.Seeing that the visitor's attitude was unusual, he immediately stopped.

Pu Nu looked angry, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Old man, get out of here immediately, hinder Chang'an County Government's law enforcement, and arrest you together."

Zhao Yan followed up.

He looked at Lin Yuanchong and Ke Liang, and found that they didn't know each other, so he said: "You two old gentlemen, I came to arrest people because Wang Qi beat up the Hun prince viciously. This is a big matter, please take care of the two old gentlemen." Don't meddle."

Zhao Yan looked at Wang Qi again and said, "Take it!"

A group of yamen servants moved forward again.

Ke Liang and Lin Yuanchong wanted to reprimand, but Wang Qi stopped them with his eyes.

Wang Qi and other yamen servants rushed in front of him, and the moment the yamen servant made a move, Wang Qi shot back directly.Wang Qi's yamen servant was the first to punch Wang Qi, but Wang Qi dodged sideways, and then landed a punch on the yamen servant.

The yamen servant screamed and was knocked to the ground.

The rest of the yamen servants have already rushed over.

Wang Qi kept punching and kicking, and kept shooting.In a short time, all the government servants were defeated.

Dozens of yamen servants all fell to the ground.

Uwe didn't let his personal guards take action for the time being, and said: "Magistrate Zhao, this person is really daring. Even the officials of the Chang'an government government dare to knock down on the ground. If this person resists the government, that is rebellion. You Report immediately and mobilize the army to take him down."

Uwe is extremely cunning.

Although he had his own troops, he didn't let his own people take action, but borrowed a knife to kill people.

If things get serious, Wang Qi will undoubtedly die.

Zhao Yan frowned slightly, because Wang Qi in front of him decisively overthrew all the yamen servants.This incident alone proves that the other party's identity is not simple, otherwise how dare he do anything to the servant at the feet of the emperor.

Zhao Yan said in a deep voice: "Wang Qi, do you really want to rebel if you take action against the court servants?"

Wang Qi snorted coldly, and said lightly: "Zhao Yan, Zhao county magistrate, since you saw me, you have never asked a word, never took the initiative to understand half of the case, on the contrary, you have a vicious look, and directly ordered arrest .”

"Now, it is even more that I rebelled."

"As the county magistrate of Chang'an, it's really ridiculous to act like this."

"The capital of Chang'an, at the foot of the emperor, you, the county magistrate of Chang'an, are the parents and officials of the people. You don't want to be the master of the people. Instead, you help the Huns everywhere and help the tyrants."

Wang Qi said coldly: "Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan, you really don't deserve to be the official of the parents of Chang'an people."

Zhao Yan's heart skipped a beat.

Who is coming?

Those who dare to say that have a difficult identity!So much so that Zhao Yan was even more hesitant at the moment.

Seeing Zhao Yan's hesitation, Wu Wei urged: "Magistrate Zhao, report the matter first, and mobilize the army to take him down."

How dare Zhao Yan act rashly.

If you move again, it will be dangerous.

At least you have to find out the situation clearly before you decide whether to make a move, otherwise you will be the one who suffers in the end.
