one step closer to the end

"Oh! Thank you Mr. Zhang for reminding me, I almost suffered a big loss..."

Song Chizhu and Hu Xiancheng got back satisfied, and the carriage hurried out of the city again. When they arrived in the suburbs, Zhao Guanren asked, "How is the situation, what does the state government say?"

"What the fuck, I rushed over here after I found out..."

Song Chizhu waved his hand and said: "All the adults who can come from the state capital have come. Although the magistrate is not on the right track with me, he also understands that if the official's black hat is taken off, he will also be implicated, so this time he must Will fully cooperate with me!"

"Young master Zhang! Li Dian's historian has an unexpected joy..."

Hu Xiancheng said with a smile: "We found a bandit flag in his house. His wife said it was his military exploits, but it is clearly evidence of collaborating with the enemy. It just so happened that there was a businessman from the Kyrgyz country who committed crimes in the prison. Let's let his buddy Designate him as a secret agent, with all the witnesses and evidence!"

Zhao Guanren raised two fingers, and said contemptuously, "What happened to the two heads?"

"of course not……"

Song Chizhu said: "Such a big matter can't be taken lightly. When the magistrate finds out, he will be rushed to the court for [-] miles. He must pull a big man out to carry the thunder, but whether it is the Xie family or the Bian family? , you have to make up your mind!"

"If you want me to say it, take the Bian family..."

Hu Xiancheng said harshly: "The Bian family is just a Prince Duan, who stood aside 800 years ago, but the Xie family is now in full swing. Last night, the source of the corpse plague was found in the Bian's house, so we don't want to use them. , when will it be!"

"Prince Duan is not the only one on the head of the Bian family, you underestimate that old fox..."

Zhao Guanren said: "Think about it, which minister did Prince Duan have a bad relationship with? Why did the Bian family earn less and less money these years? Is it because their family's business is dying? Wrong! The money has already been handed over, and the bad relationship is just a deception. !"

"Master Chief Assistant?"

The two looked at each other in unison, Song Chizhu was even more puzzled and said: "I don't think so, Mr. Shoufu has always been serious with him every time, and it is all thanks to him that Prince Duan can fall into this position." Otherwise, he would have been the prince long ago!"

"Your information is too late. If you have nothing to do, read the mansion newspaper. It's only ten dollars..."

Zhao Guanren took out an ancient tabloid and unfolded it, saying: "Look at what is written on it, the emperor went to the mountains to escape the summer heat, and there was no prince among the accompanying personnel, and the chief examiner of the spring exam next year has nothing to do with Xia Shoufu. What does this mean?"

"The waste prince!!!"

The two spoke in unison again, this time they were really shocked, and hurriedly covered their mouths and looked out of the car.

"Praise and kill! Praise first and then kill..."

Zhao Guanren said: "Xia Shoufu holds the crown prince so high, can the emperor be his mother happy? At this moment, I think of Prince Duan. Just look at it! This kid has been excluded for so many years, and he has always done his duty. His mother is kind and his son is filial. It seems to be better than the prince who covets Lao Tzu's throne!"

The two quickly grabbed him and said in horror: "Don't dare to talk nonsense!"

"Anyway, we are already on the same boat, and anyone who has an accident will be implicated..."

Zhao Guanren said in a low voice: "Under uncertain circumstances, if we kill Prince Duan's daughter-in-law's family, he won't be able to settle the score after the fall, so no matter who we kill, we can't stand out. Don't do such offending things! "

"Young Master's quick thinking is unmatched by me..."

The two adults gave their thumbs up in admiration, and the carriage stopped while they were talking. There is a Shili Pavilion beside the official road to welcome high officials. The low-level officials and officials from Lantai County have already arrived. Dozens of people Get together and discuss in whispers.

"It came just right!"

Song Chizhu quickly took the lead and jumped down, and saw the magistrate and his party from a distance. The officials hurriedly lined up according to their ranks. Song Chizhu and Hu Xiancheng naturally stood at the front, but Hu Xiancheng unconsciously moved forward Take a few steps.

"Master Song! Hu Xiancheng is a member of the magistrate..."

Zhao Guanren leaned against Song Chizhu, and said in a low voice: "Don't be too happy, this is a good opportunity to step on you, and I will tell you the truth, I came to Lantai just to Bian Xie and his family , but with such a sudden incident, the supervisor will never come as scheduled!"

"You mean, Master Supervisor doesn't want to go into muddy water..."

Song Chizhu narrowed his eyes, Zhao Guanren sighed and said: "Doing business for the royal family, it's easy to offend your colleagues, but it's not easy to move your head. The supervisor is also walking on thin ice, but if he doesn't come, I will be in big trouble, Bian Xie and his family I'm afraid you're going to kill me!"

"They dare! Little merchants dare to rebel..."

Song Chizhu glared and said: "Don't worry! I am definitely not an ungrateful person. Qian Tongzhi who came with me is my uncle's student. I will introduce you later. First, I will fulfill your post of classic history and have an official status. Let me see who dares to touch you, killing an official is tantamount to rebellion!"

"Thank you, my lord! I can rely on you to support me during this time..."

Zhao Guanren paid a salute pretending to be pleasantly surprised, just in time the magistrate and his party came over, most of the officials were on horseback or on foot, among them there were only three carriages, led by more than a dozen cavalrymen in black leather armor, staring at them sullenly .

"Not good! Why is the black guard here..."

The expressions of Song Chizhu and the others all changed, and they stepped forward to greet them in three steps at a time. Zhao Guanren deliberately lagged behind and grabbed a familiar official, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with the black-clothed guard?"

"The Holy Majesty's guards, they can go straight to the sky..."

The little official said nervously: "The black-clothed guards and the white-clothed guards belong to the Jingdu Guards. The white-clothed guards are responsible for investigating major cases such as collusion with the enemy and treason, and the black-clothed guards are responsible for arresting and reviewing. Presented to the Holy One, people call it black and white impermanence, evil star!"

'I wipe!Isn't this Jin Yiwei...'

Zhao Guanren walked to the side of the official road with his head down. All the officials in the state capital got off their horses and carts, and everyone looked very serious.

You can tell from the color of the official uniform that the man in the red robe is Wang Zhifu, a strong middle-aged man in his 40s, with a sword hanging from his waist like a general, and the man in the green robe is Qian Tongzhi, who is obviously a frail scholar. The people in the three carriages did not get off.

"Uh-huh!"

Wang Zhifu kept his hands behind his back and didn't express his opinion. Naturally, he didn't dare to express his opinion easily, but he didn't know what Song Chizhu said. He suddenly asked in doubt: "Zhang Tiansheng? This name sounds familiar!"

"Young master Zhang! Come here quickly, I have met the magistrate..."

Song Chizhu hurriedly turned around and called Zhao Guanren, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang's family is full of loyalty and loyalty. He is a hero and good general. When I say his elder brother, you will definitely be impressed. His elder brother is the deputy general of General Huwei. He is a fifth-rank official. Zhang Tianbao from Flying School!"

"Oh! So it's Zhang Tianbao's third brother..."

Wang Zhifu suddenly realized: "Zhang Tianbao died in the battle back then, and his second brother Zhang Tianyang rode thousands of miles alone to take revenge with only twelve guards. He cut off more than a hundred of the enemy's heads, and finally died of exhaustion. He hated the frontier. I can be considered a legend!"

"Where is Zhang Tiansheng? Take your life..."

There was a sudden shout, and a person jumped out of the third carriage, jumped up in the air and stabbed Zhao Guanren with a knife. Zhao Guanren, who was trying to figure out the plan, was stunned. He subconsciously pulled out Wang Zhifu's saber, and threw his hand into the air. .

"When~"

The opponent swung the long sword away with a single blow, but the moment she tilted her head, Zhao Guanren had already pushed Wang Zhifu out. At the same time as Wang Zhifu exclaimed, the opponent also hurriedly retracted the sword and turned it over.

"Beware!"

I don't know who yelled, but this yell was definitely not to remind Zhao Guanren. As soon as the assassin slipped past Wang Zhifu and landed on one leg, a dagger was suddenly thrown at her abdomen. Dirty tricks.

"Wow~"

A handful of sand suddenly splashed on the opponent's face, and the opponent screamed and lost his figure. Not only was he hit in the lower abdomen by the dagger, but his eyeballs were also sprinkled so that he could not see. Kick the dagger in the abdomen.

"stop!"

A black shadow suddenly shot from the horse, and unexpectedly set off a strong gust of wind, which knocked a group of officials to the ground, and directly punched Zhao Guanren.

"Boom~"

Zhao Guanren dodged the punch nimbly, but he didn't know that the opponent's punch knocked him over. At the same time, he smashed Wang Zhifu's carriage with one punch. The carriage exploded from the middle like a grenade, scaring The horses galloped wildly and neighed.

"Hmm~"

Zhao Guanren fell to the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood, but he turned over and jumped up extremely quickly, snatched the steel knife from the waist of a yamen servant, jumped out and shouted: "You black-clothed guards want to kill you!" Shameless, you have the guts to single out with me!"

"you……"

The black-clothed guard who took the shot was stunned. This guy had a bronze medal in his waist. He was obviously a captain. His shoulders were big and his waist was like an iron tower. He looked at Zhao Guanren in surprise and said, "Zhang Tianbao is so good at martial arts. Don’t have any profound energy?”

"Wouldn't Xuan Qi break the law? The young master can still kill the female assassin..."

Zhao Guanren wiped the corners of his mouth aggressively, and the other party quickly looked at the bewildered female guard in black. The dagger didn't pierce her leather armor, but stuck in the outer layer of leather, but another kick would definitely kill her. The other guards in black were dumbfounded.

"Little thief! I'll kill you..."

The female guard in black threw a water bottle into her eyes and rushed towards Zhao Guanren furiously, but Wang Zhifu jumped up and shouted angrily: "Stop everything, Li Baihu! What are you trying to do? Hurt the court order officer on the spot, Mrs. Is it lawless?"

"Lord Zhifu, please calm down, Lord Qianhu..."

The captain of the black guard clasped his fists in embarrassment and bowed. Unexpectedly, the little girl had a higher official position than him, and the little girl pointed a knife at Zhao Guanren, and said angrily: "Zhang Tiansheng! You wait for me, and I will make a new debt when the time comes." Count with you, let's go!"

Chapter 0432

"My lord! Your lord has a lot of them. I really didn't do it on purpose. It's completely instinctive..."

Zhao Guanren kept bowing and saluting. He was holding Wang Zhifu to block the knife just now, but if the girls were so skillful, they would have almost opened him up, and caused him to roll in the dirt. Several officials were also in a panic, accusing him of leaving. The black guards.

"It's okay, it's okay! I am also a martial arts practitioner, and I know this is the instinctive reaction of a martial artist..."

Wang Zhifu patted the dirt on his body, said he was fine but his face was ugly, he shook his head and said: "These guards in black are really lawless, not to mention killing people in the street and hurting many officials. One of them!"

"Master Zhang! Your skills are really amazing..."

A small official gave a thumbs up and said: "The one just now is the deputy of the black guard, Tan Qingning, Tan Qingning, Mr. Tan's mentor is the commander of the black guard, a well-behaved teacher who has turned out to be a high-level apprentice, and it is rare to meet an opponent at a young age. I thought I almost died in your hands!"

"Exactly! The black-clothed guard is nothing more than that..."

Others also echoed: "If it wasn't for those hundreds of households to stop me, Tan Qingning would have to be gutted, but Mr. Zhang is so skilled, why can't he be mysterious? I heard that your Zhang family's internal strength is also top-notch. Could it be Mr. Zhang?" Is it impossible to be born with blocked meridians?"

"no!"

Zhao Guanren waved his hand and said: "My elder brother said that our family's internal strength is more than strong and stamina is insufficient, and he wanted to find a better method for me, but how did I know that my two elder brothers died in battle one after another, I was discouraged and had no intentions. I have practiced martial arts, so I don't have that... profound energy!"

"It's a pity! If you practice from a young age, those hundred households will definitely not be your opponent..."

Everyone shook their heads and sighed, Song Chizhu hurriedly asked everyone to get on the horses, the magistrate Wang's carriage was smashed, and he could only squeeze into the same car with Hu Xiancheng, and Song Chizhu winked again, and led Zhao Guanren to the car He got Qian Tongzhi's carriage.

"Hello, Master Tongzhi, Xiaosheng has met adults..."

Zhao Guanren got into the car and saluted with a smile. He had just made up for it this morning, and he finally understood that Fu Tongzhi was a fifth-rank official. Similarly, the prefect is also a political enemy who is fighting openly and secretly.

"Master Zhang! Do you recognize Tan Qingning..."

Qian Tongzhi stroked his goatee elegantly, Zhao Guanren shook his head and said, "Don't say I recognize it, I've never heard of this dominatrix, but why did she attack me so hard?"

"It should be related to your second brother..."

Qian Tongzhi said with a smile: "Before Tan Qingning's accident, she fought with your second brother in Ningzhou. I guess she was defeated, so she blamed you. She didn't really want to kill you just now, but just wanted to vent her anger on you." Otherwise, her sword energy can take your head from a distance!"

"Alas~ the eye of a girl is as big as the eye of a needle..."

Zhao Guanren sighed helplessly, and Song Chizhu immediately took over the conversation, praising him as if he were his own son, and described his "great achievements" in detail, even reading out the poems he made up.

"Wonderful! I never thought Mr. Zhang would have such a literary talent..."

Qian Tongzhi's bookish anger immediately came out, and he discussed with Zhao Guanren in high spirits, but Zhao Guanren didn't know the deep meaning of the poem, he thought there was a sentence that was suitable for the occasion, and he read it, anyway, he just nodded what Qian Tongzhi said.

"My lord, it's absurd! The article is natural, it's a skillful hand, it's pure and flawless, that..."

Zhao Guanren suddenly thought of another line of poetry, but he forgot the second half after reading it, but Qian Tongzhi's eyes lit up, and he said pleasantly: "A good sentence is naturally made, and it is a wonderful skill. It really makes Qian feel like a poem. Enlightenment, but what's the last sentence?"

"Remnant poems, remnant poems! I didn't think about it..."

Zhao Guanren smiled awkwardly: "Master Qian is also a great talent, why don't you just add the last sentence for me, how about we work together?"

"I have to think about it carefully, and I must not insult this masterpiece..."

Qian Tongzhi picked up a folding fan and kept beating his head, but his level was obviously limited, so he didn't think of something suitable for a long time.

"Haha~"

Song Chizhu suddenly smiled and said: "I was also fascinated by this poem, but unfortunately I only read the moonlight in front of the bed, which is suspected to be frost on the ground. These simple poems, how about this, Mr. Zhang will come up with some more poems." Old work, let me wait to open my eyes again, okay?"

'Nimma!You know Li Bai's poems, luckily I didn't choose simple ones...'

Zhao Guanren was secretly taken aback, obviously there was an earlier time-traveling senior, otherwise, where did Tang poetry come from, so he asked carefully: "Master Song, don't be modest, for example, you should be very clear about the source of being too cold at a high place. Bar?"

"Of course I know, Shui Tiao Ge Tou, I often listen to songs..."

Song Chizhu nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, Zhao Guanren immediately swallowed a mouthful of spittle, fortunately the old man didn't come with three thousand ancient and modern poems, otherwise he would have given away his secrets.

"Hmm~"

Zhao Guanren coughed lightly, and said: "Last night, I sent out a poem out of emotion and changed a poem blindly. Don't laugh at me after listening to it, you two. The smoke cage is cold, the water is moon cage sand, Yebo Lantai is near Bian's house. The merchant girl I don't know the hatred of the subjugated country, but I still sing the flowers in the backyard!"

"Ok?"

Both of them were stunned, and Zhao Guanren was startled, thinking that he had been exposed for plagiarism.

"Young master, this poem is thought-provoking..."

Qian Tongzhi cupped his hands and said, "Although the word subjugation cannot be mentioned lightly, the corpse plague in Lantai County is as fierce as it is said, and it is not alarmist. Besides, the incident occurred in Bian's family, which is one of the few wealthy households in Ningzhou. , if you take the lead in rebellion, there will be endless disasters!"

"It makes sense!"

Song Chizhu also said: "These profiteers only care about earning black-hearted money. They don't care about the country of the Dashun Dynasty. If you want me to say that the Bian family has to kill everyone to make an example, of course! It's not up to us to kill or not, after all. They are also Prince Duan's in-laws!"

"If it is true that the Bian family is in trouble, Prince Duan will definitely kill his relatives..."

Qian Tongzhi made a chopping gesture, Song Chizhu and Zhao Guanren looked at each other, changed the topic and began to talk about other things, and arrived in Lantai County in a short while, according to Chengwei's report, the black-clothed guard had already taken the lead Into the city, went directly to the scene of the incident.

"Go quickly! You can't let those black impermanence frame you..."

Song Chizhu patted the carriage anxiously, and the group rushed to the scene of the incident immediately. When they arrived, they saw the black-clothed guard, who was asking the nearby residents with a pamphlet.

"Huh? What are you guys doing..."
