i don't want to be emperor

"Brother, did something happen in Liangcheng?" Gu Nianyun, who was sent by Qin Yi to inquire about the news, stopped a pedestrian who had just come out of the city and asked him about the situation in the city.

Perhaps it was because of being stopped for a long time, the passers-by had a very unfriendly expression, but when he saw Gu Nianyun's appearance clearly, his tone suddenly softened: "The night before yesterday, the prefect's house was patronized by some thieves, The family members were also almost injured by those thieves. The magistrate was furious and immediately searched the whole city for these thieves. In the past two days, everyone who went out of the city will be carefully questioned and checked, especially if they brought luggage. Open the luggage for those soldiers to rummage through."

Speaking of this, the passerby sighed: "The two taels of silver I carried in my bag were confiscated by the soldiers guarding the city."

Gu Nianyun nodded, and asked again: "What about the person who went in?"

The passer-by shook his head: "They want to prevent the thieves who broke into the prefect's house from escaping, but they didn't check the people entering the city." Seeing that Gu Nianyun seemed to want to enter the city, the passerby could not help but remind him, " Girl, don't blame me for talking too much, you are so beautiful, if you enter the city at this time, maybe you will cause some trouble."

Gu Nianyun smiled at him, smiling so that passers-by turned their heads away in embarrassment, and thanked him: "Thank you for your reminder."

After thanking the passerby, Gu Nianyun walked back to the tree where the horse was tied, and told Qin Yi the news he found.After Qin Yi learned of Liangcheng's current situation, he immediately thought of the three people who should be in the city at this time.I always feel that this matter may have something to do with those three guys.

Before entering the city, Qin Yi listened to the opinions of passers-by and asked Gu Nianyun to cover up his appearance.Gu Nianyun covered his face in a good manner, and also put on a cloak to cover his figure by the way.

When entering the city, although he also attracted some attention from the guards because of his hidden appearance, but under the money offensive of the two, and the two of them were entering the city instead of leaving the city, the guards did not. Do more difficult, put two people in.

Not far after entering the city, I saw a group of people gathered around a wooden board, seeming to be discussing something, and it looked very lively.

Qin Yi squeezed in with Gu Nianyun, and found that the wooden board was probably Liangcheng's notice board, with many old and new notices and arrest warrants pasted on it.

As for the ones posted in the most conspicuous position, one can tell at a glance that they are the newly posted arrest warrants, and the appearances of Hu Yin and the three of them are clearly identifiable.

The artist who drew the arrest warrant is skilled.

Just as Qin Yi guessed before, these three people were wanted as robbers who broke into the magistrate's mansion.

It seems that these three people were involved in some troublesome things when he was not around.Now, where would those three be?If Liu Qingxuan is really the kind of person who can do anything after leaving the mountain, they may have already left the city in disguise by this time.

However, he also said before that he would rendezvous in Liangcheng, and he had been out for such a long time, and he hadn't heard of the existence of such things as disguise, so he didn't have the ability to directly cross such a high city wall. The three of them should still be hiding in the city at this time.

In any case, let's find an inn to stay and talk about it first.

On the way to the inn, Qin Yi and the two also saw patrolling soldiers passing by them from time to time, holding the arrest warrant they saw on the wooden board in their hands.

They are so eager to find Hu Yin and the others. Could it be that the prefect here has been discovered by those three people and needs to be silenced?Speaking of which, who is the magistrate here?

Because he didn't want to be the emperor, Qin Yi never knew the officials of Qin State in this life. To be honest, he didn't even remember the names of those officials in the court, let alone other places. official.

Just when Qin Yi and the two were looking for an inn to live in, Xi Muqian, the magistrate of Liangzhou whose name Qin Yi did not remember, was furious in his mansion.

The middle-aged man standing in the living room had a clear face, and there were several deep nicks between his brows. Coupled with the angry expression on his face at this time, the hearts of those kneeling under him trembled.

"You bastards!" Xi Muqian flicked his sleeves, staring at the three kneeling on the ground, "It's been two days, and you haven't even found their shadows! I think you don't just want this body on you Convinced, you don’t even want your head, do you?”

The three of them, who were fully aware of how powerful Xi Muqian had in Liangcheng, trembled, and the person at the front immediately opened his mouth to explain: "My lord, my subordinates have completely sealed up Liangcheng, and those thieves definitely did not escape. It should, no, they must still be in Liangcheng."

"Since the person is still in the city, why can't you find it?!" Xi Muqian became even more angry. He couldn't help but grabbed the teacup on the table behind him and threw it in front of the three of them. There are a lot of people in your position. If you can't catch anyone within three days, I will let someone who can catch someone take your place."

Looking at Xi Muqian's sinister eyes, the three of them answered yes repeatedly, and then they said "Get out!" ' In the roar, he ran out of the living room in a desperate manner.

After the figures of the three people disappeared completely, Xi Muqian gradually suppressed his anger. After a while, after completely calming down, he called the housekeeper to his side and asked, "How are Madam and Xin'er?"

The housekeeper bowed slightly: "They are still in a coma, but the master said that they will be fine."

Xi Muqian breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine." Having said that, he had the urge to grit his teeth, "If it weren't for those damned..."

"My lord, be careful." The butler reminded him from the side.

Xi Muqian closed his mouth, and after a while, he sighed: "This time, it really hurt them both."

Qin Yi and Gu Nianyun quickly found an inn that looked good, and after they moved in, the two of them began to discuss what to do next.

The three of Hu Yin are now wanted by the whole city, and it should not be so easy for them to find them, so instead of looking around aimlessly, it is better to find out why they are wanted by the magistrate first.

As for how to figure it out, the easiest way is naturally to ask the person concerned.

Compared with the last time when he had no preparations for a private visit except money, the empress dowager gave Qin Yi some things before coming out this time, so that he could get some convenience without revealing his identity.

If I had to say it, I probably gave him a status similar to that of an imperial envoy.However, any minister who knows something about the affairs of the capital will naturally guess about his identity after seeing the things in Qin Yi's hands and contacting his age.

This approach naturally has advantages and disadvantages, but generally speaking, it can be regarded as adding a layer of protection to Qin Yi, making ministers who have guessed his identity or not have scruples about him.When there are scruples, even if it is because of certain things, they will subconsciously hesitate. In this way, the hidden guards following Qin Yi are given the opportunity to do something, which can be said to be quite well-intentioned.

Qin Yi thought clearly about the empress dowager's carefulness in giving him these things, but he didn't intend to refuse.In the past, he was not good at rejecting other people's kindness, but now, he didn't want to refuse.

Before going to the magistrate's mansion, Qin Yi and the two also inquired a little about the character of the magistrate here. It was also at this time that Qin Yi found out that the magistrate of Liangcheng was named Xi Muqian.

Six years ago, after earning enough money, the previous prefect of Liangcheng chose to leave Liangcheng, a city that was not rich enough, and transferred to another richer city to become an official. At that time, he was transferred to succeed the prefect of Liangcheng. Yes, it is Xi Muqian.

Unlike the previous magistrate, Xi Muqian's actions were quite low-key, so low-key that the residents of Liangcheng didn't know that the new magistrate had taken office until he opened the court for the first time.

Although the previous prefect of Liangcheng had already left, he was used to dominating under his leadership, and his lackeys who oppressed the people did not leave with him.The people originally expected the new prefect to clean up the atmosphere in the prefect's yamen, but later found that although this prefect was not as greedy as the previous prefect, it could even be said to be quite good-tempered. It is also mainly made of mixed mud.

The magistrate Xi usually treats the people with a very kind attitude. If he encounters the officials who oppress the people, he will reprimand him aloud.And those officials and officials always nodded obediently and admitted their mistakes in front of Xi Zhifu, as if they would never do it again.However, after Prefect Xi left, they would immediately change back to their original attitude, even worse.

It is precisely because these people have never messed around in front of the magistrate Xi, Xi Muqian always looks puzzled when facing the complaints of the people against the officials, and the people gradually accept that he is a muddled magistrate The settings, and did not ask him to solve this problem.

Under such circumstances, the prefect Xi's reputation among the people is not bad. Everyone thinks that although this prefect is a little incompetent, he is indeed a good person, much better than the previous prefect.

After hearing the news in the hall, Qin Yi turned to look at Gu Nianyun and asked, "What do you think of the magistrate of Liangcheng?"

Gu Nianyun frowned: "There is something wrong with this magistrate."

Qin Yi asked with interest: "Oh? How can you see it?"

Gu Nianyun thought for a while, then shook his head giving up: "I don't know, but I just think there is something wrong with him."

Qin Yi smiled when he heard the words, and said: "You didn't read so much court information for nothing." Although he still has the limitations of people in the world and doesn't understand the specific situation, he has cultivated a certain degree of political sensitivity.

Hearing Qin Yi's words, Gu Nianyun was slightly taken aback. Is the other party accusing him of spying on the court news, or is he praising him?
