The privacy under the official edict, even the officials of the imperial court thought that Ningzhou only sent the Ministry of Industry to build the embankment.When Chen Juncong's carriage arrived in Ningzhou, no one greeted him naturally.

"Call-"

The driver saw the closed city gate ahead and had to stop his horse.

"Lang Jun, the city gate is not open."

In the clear sky, the gates of Ningzhou City are tightly closed, but there are still guards on duty on the city walls, as if guarding against something.

Hearing this, Chen Juncong lifted the curtain, took a glance and said conveniently, "Slam the door."

According to the officials, the city gate is presumably to prevent the victims from fleeing, which has aroused the vigilance of other state capitals.It's a pity that the magistrate of Ningzhou has all kinds of precautions, but in the end, he keeps everything secret.

As expected, the coachman got out of the carriage and walked over. With the whip in his hand, he threw it at the city gate with red lacquer and copper nails.

"Snapped--"

The clear and loud voice was very harsh outside the empty Ningzhou city. The dozing defenders got up in shock, leaned on the city wall and looked down, only to see a carriage and the driver who didn't know what to do, and immediately cursed angrily, " Are you tired of working? Where did you come from? Get out of here!"

There were ugly long marks on the vermilion lacquer on the city gate, the coachman took away his whip and scolded back more viciously than the defenders, "I'm blind to your dog eyes, my master is something you can't humiliate!"

The defenders are used to being arrogant in front of ordinary people, when have they ever been scolded like this.Startled at first, then took the bow and arrow with a sneer.

"Since you don't leave, the arrows in my hand don't have eyes."

Feathered arrows resting on the bow, because of the advantage of standing at a high place, the defenders easily aimed at the coachman, and they really planned to shoot and kill the civilians easily.

What a big dog!

The coachman opened his angry eyes and couldn't help but get angry, "You..."

Seeing that Yujian was about to leave his hand, the defender saw a hand protruding from the curtain of the carriage, with a shiny golden object hooked on his finger.

"What? Still want to openly bribe?"

Even from a distance, the defenders can see that it is gold.He smiled contemptuously, but still did not take away the bow and arrow.As soon as he changed his mind, he wanted to shoot the two of them first, and then go down to get the gold.

"and many more!"

Just about to let go of the strength in his hand, he was suddenly stopped by the guard next to him.

The guard turned his head, but saw that the always domineering guard took off the long-range goggles hanging on his waist and put them in front of his eyes to look closely at the gold in the man's hand.His face turned pale immediately, and he slapped him angrily, saying the exact words of the coachman.

"Blind your dog eyes!"

He was fine just a moment ago, but now he loses his temper for no reason.The guard felt that he was wronged and refused to admit it, and asked, "General, why is this?"

At this moment, the guard wanted to throw this idiot off the city wall, panting heavily: "Where is the gold, it is clearly a goldfish bag!"

As soon as the words fell, the defenders who had felt aggrieved at first turned pale with fright, and stopped talking.

What is a goldfish bag?It can only be worn by officials who are at least the fourth rank or above.You can't see it in ordinary local and state capitals in this life, at most you can see a whitebait bag.

The goldfish bag, which should only be seen in the capital now, unknowingly ran to Ningzhou, and they had ghosts in their hearts, so it was self-evident why.

While terrified, the people in the carriage below finally spoke out, and what they said almost scared the guards and generals out of their wits.

"Chen Juncong, deputy envoy of the Third Department of Planning and Provincial Affairs."

The voice was full of confidence, just a few short words made the calves of the guard who were still high-spirited before could not stop trembling, and asked tremblingly, "General... General... Yes, it's the third division." people..."

Since the restructuring, the third department built by the government is also called the Ministry of Finance because it is in charge of finance.Pei Lian, the envoy of the third division, was also known as "planning".It is said to be in charge of finances, but in fact it has taken half of the power of the imperial court.The current New Party is as dazzling as the scorching sun, untouchable.When you meet a small official of the third division, you have to be polite, and the deputy envoy of the third division is even more extraordinary.

Everyone understands one thing.

There are not many people who can make the deputy envoy of the third division bump to Ningzhou.But the only few people, even if the magistrates and judges of Ningzhou have come forward, it is not enough to see.

Disaster is imminent!

The guard almost subconsciously yelled at the defenders in the city, "Open the city gate, open the city gate quickly!"

The people below got the password, and heard the voice shouting anxiously, they did not dare to delay to remove the copper lock and slowly pushed open the city gate.

"Go to Lord Zhizhou's mansion, and tell him that the people from the third division are here!"

The guard turned his head and held the arm of the guard who still had a slap mark on his face and commanded.

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, there was no need to urge the defenders to rush down the stone steps to Zhizhou's mansion.

Amidst the sound of hooves, the unremarkable carriage slowly entered the city.The guard watched helplessly as the hand was retracted again, and he couldn't even see the outline of his face when the curtain was shaking.

From Dingzhou to Ningzhou, Xu Shi did not deal with it in time, and the wound on Chen Juncong's back did not heal repeatedly.Just now, in order to cover up people's eyes and ears, he endured the pain and yelled out, but now he couldn't help coughing in a low voice.

"How does the owner feel?"

The coachman was aware of the Chen family's affairs, and immediately asked with concern when he heard the movement in the carriage.Seeing that he was in the city, the guard was also standing in front, and lowered his voice to prevent exposure.

There was no response for a long time.He then slightly raised his voice and asked in doubt: "Patriarch?"

There was a response this time, but it seemed to deliberately ignore the previous words, and only explained, "Let them find a house to settle down first, and ask the Zhizhou of Ningzhou to come to see me, and the others will not be let go."

The coachman thought that the head of the family skipped the topic of injuries for the sake of caution, and after listening to the order, he repeated the statement to the guard.

It's okay not to enter the city, but the first sight is shocking.

Hunger is everywhere, including the elderly and children.The doors of the shops in the neighborhood were closed.Those people were lying on the side of the road staggeringly, and when they saw the passing carriage, their eyes glowed green.The coachman felt terrified at the sight.

He was sure that if it wasn't for the defenders around him, these people would have jumped up and swallowed them alive.

The guard didn't dare to look up to see what was going on in the carriage, he just lowered his head and led the way.

The arrival of the deputy envoy of the third department has stripped Ningzhou of his face in a blatant manner.Zhizhou Hetong judged that there was no good end, and the guard rolled his eyes, thinking about it.

But he said that the defenders who had just been sent to run errands for ventilation stumbled and crawled into Zhizhou's mansion, and were stopped by the servants before entering the door, they could hear the babble of Yingyingyanyan inside.

After explaining the situation and finally going in, he saw that Lord Zhizhou was rolling into a ball with the famous courtesans in the city in the plain gauze curtain, and even the red bellyband could be seen clearly upon closer inspection.

"My lord, I will feed you~"

"What's so good about this fruit, I still have to..."

Seeing that the dialogue was getting more and more wrong, the defenders trembled and said desperately: "My lord, it's not good!"

Hu Zaixue, who was on his head, was startled by outsiders' voices, and the soft pillow on the bed was thrown on the head of the visitor, and he scolded, "Are you blind?"

I have been scolded for the same sentence many times today, the defenders are suffering and can't say it, but I hope I am really blind.Where can he wade through this muddy water?If you can't guarantee your life, you will go in.

After being reprimanded, the defenders still shouted in fear, "My lord... the capital, people are coming from the capital..."

"What did you say?"

Hearing the word "capital", Hu Zaixue suddenly accepted the idea of ​​being a prostitute, and sat up straight.

The garrison said again: "Someone is coming from the capital... It's the third division... the deputy envoy of the third division..."

"Crash-"

The celadon wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces. Hu Zaixue opened his mouth slightly in fear, almost suspecting that he was hallucinating.It wasn't until the ear-piercing sound of shattering porcelain regained his sanity that he suddenly got up and frantically gathered his open collar.

"Is it really the deputy envoy of the third division?"

Time was running short, he took the scarlet official uniform and put it on as he walked, almost tripping over his outer pants, the frightened defender hurriedly shouted "My lord official".

"That man claims to be the deputy envoy of the third division, and he has a goldfish bag, so it's true." The defender followed behind him, holding a foot-holding head in his hand.

If it was just a fluke, when the word "goldfish bag" came out, Hu Zaixue's face turned green and pale, as if he would die in the next moment.He has only a few words in his head.

Disaster is imminent!
