On the way back to the county government office, Guan Xinrui dismissed two policemen and took a long detour to a gambling house in the city.

The people at the door of the casino were obviously very discerning. As soon as they saw Guan Xinrui approaching, the most senior among them immediately stepped forward. However, when he saw the glance in his eyes, he did not shout out the title. He just smiled and came closer to salute. Ask in a low voice.

"Sir, why are you here today? Do you want to play two games or not?"

It's a big deal that the County Lord is here personally. I've never seen the County Lord come to play, so the people who speak are careful with their words.

Of course Guan Xinrui is not here to gamble. Unless he wants to enjoy the pleasure of winning money, why should he gamble if he wants money?

Hearing the words of the gatekeeper of the gambling house, Guan Xinrui said nothing and walked directly to the alley on one side. When the gatekeeper stood there and frowned and thought, he saw Guan Xinrui looking back at him and immediately followed him. .

When he arrived in the alley, Guan Xinrui looked at no one in front and behind him, then waved, and the people who followed him immediately came closer.

"Let your bosses come to me."

"Alas, the villain knows!"

Guan Xinrui nodded, and after speaking, he left by himself, but his steps were not fast.

After walking for less than half a cup of tea, on the streets of the county in the evening, a well-dressed man seemed to have met Guan Xinrui by chance. He saluted and greeted him and accompanied him for a while.

And the person here turned out to be Chai Wang, who had sneaked into the county government several times before, and was the one responsible for the murder in the inn. However, the murder in the inn had nothing to do with Guan Xinrui.

In this busy street, at sunset and dusk, the two of them seemed to be talking and walking normally.

After a few words of greeting, the man invited Guan Xinrui to have a chat at a tea shop, and the latter happily agreed.

After the two of them sat down in the tea shop, the shopkeeper served tea and snacks, and after Chai Wang nodded to confirm, Guan Xinrui began to talk about his business in a low voice.

When he heard Guan Xinrui briefly talk about the county government affairs, Chai Wang couldn't help but ask.

"Sir, is it true or false that the county government office is haunted?"

Chai Wang didn't mention the suspected encounter with monsters at all, but he had also seen ghosts in the county government.

He even once wondered if he had some yin and yang eyes, seeing ghosts and demons. Fortunately, everything seemed to be normal recently, but Chai Wang was also curious about the county government affairs.

It's just that the things that were passed around were all exaggerated, even more exaggerated than Chai Wang's own suspected encounter with a monster, at least that's what it sounded like.

But regarding this question, Guan Xinrui just glanced at Chai Wang.

"Although there are indeed weird things, most of them are just rumors, but this time my matter is more difficult."

Guan Xinrui didn't want Chai Wang to know too many details, so he changed the topic directly.

"My lord, it's okay to say so!"

Guan Xinrui looked around at this moment, and then lowered his voice and said.

"Do you still remember how many times I asked you to go to the mouth of the river?"

Chai Wang's eyes flashed slightly, he already remembered what happened the year before last, he nodded slightly and whispered.

"Dingfeng County?"

Guan Xinrui narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.

"Yes, that's it, but there may be something wrong with that matter. Zhong Xingwen from the county government probably went to Dahekou."

"What's he doing at the mouth of the river?"

Guan Xinrui shook his head slightly.

"It doesn't matter what he does when he goes to the mouth of the river. What he can't do there is the most important thing!"

Chai Wang nodded slightly.

"Are there any scruples?"

Guan Xinrui shook his head, Chai Wang had a smile on his face, cupped his hands and prepared to stand up.

"etc!"

Guan Xinrui stopped Chai Wang and warned him again when he was confused.

"It's best to go to that place first and deal with it first. If it doesn't work, just do it."

Guan Xinrui made a hand gesture like a knife, and then continued.

"Zhong Xingwen is the chief arrester of our county government. He has good martial arts skills. Although he was injured, he should not be underestimated. You have to be careful! After the matter is completed."

"Hehehehehehehe"

Chai Wang laughed softly before Guan Xinrui finished speaking, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his laughter.

"Don't worry, sir. Mr. Chai will pay attention to it, but please know that Zhong Xingwen's punches and kicks, let alone injuries, are not ordinary even if he is lively and lively. I'm leaving!"

After standing up and taking a few steps, Chai Wang looked back at Guan Xinrui, who was sitting there.

"What happens after it's done, let's talk about it after it's done!"

Chai Wang was no longer the runaway wanderer he once was. Now he longed for more than just gold, silver and temporary stability. He knew that Guan Xinrui had been to the county town, and he even knew that Magistrate Haiyu was a person, a person who could rise to great heights.

Guan Xinrui looked at Chai Wang's leaving figure, just sitting there motionless. He was not angry because of Chai Wang's behavior when he left. On the contrary, he smiled a little.

After all, if he didn't have that ability, how could Chai Wang be like this?

Besides, she was just irritating him, so how could she be angry?

This kind of foolhardy person thinks he has some intelligence, but in fact he is just a fool, but it does come in handy many times!

As for whether Zhong Xingwen really went to visit an old man to learn his skills, and did not go to the mouth of the river at all?

Of course it was possible, but Guan Xinrui didn't reveal a single bit of it to Chai Wang.

If he couldn't find it for a while, Chai Wang would definitely search more carefully in the tension. If it turned out to be a misunderstanding, it would be a misunderstanding. Naturally, nothing could be better. As for Chai Wang, he would have his own way to fix it.

After doing this, Guan Xinrui breathed a sigh of relief.

The human matter was settled, but the ghost matter was still somewhat worrying. Guan Xinrui wanted to visit Taoist Xue again.

Guan Xinrui was sitting in the tea shop, drinking tea and eating snacks, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. He didn't realize what happened to the Taoist when he first saw him that day, thinking he was a swindler and a liar.

I didn't expect that he was really capable.

Such an expert is rare to see. Now he has just presented the dragon scales to King Xin. If the results are outstanding this time, it will please both King Xin and the Holy One. His ambitions in the future will not be limited to the little Haiyu. county.

And such an expert will definitely be of great use.

There is another point that Guan Xinrui is not willing to admit deep down in his heart, that is, he has done too many things to his detriment and is feeling flustered!

Guan Xinrui sat in the tea shop for half an hour, seemingly thinking about many things. He waited until the sky was getting dark and the tea shop was about to be finished before he checked out and left.

After Guan Xinrui left, a man in a green shirt with long hair in the corner of the teahouse looked at his back.

This man has an extraordinary bearing and a handsome face, but Guan Xinrui and Chai Wang just didn't notice him at all.

Perhaps only the old shopkeeper in the shop still noticed this person, and he walked over while wiping his hands at this moment.

"Sir, it's getting dark, so we have to close, look."

The man smiled and raised his head.

"Okay, let's check out now. By the way, the rice cakes in your store taste very good. Pack half a catty and give it to me!"

"Hey, of course it's possible!"

The man nodded, took the rice cake wrapped in dried lotus leaves, paid the bill and then walked out of the shop. It was Hui Mian who had transformed into Yunlai.

Yunlai was looking far into the street at this moment. Guan Xinrui had already gone far away but could still see clearly.

This man is really smart, sinister and vicious. For some reason, Yunlai reminds of Chu Hang.

It can be said that they are all outstanding people who have entered the officialdom. Chu Hang's intelligence gradually emerged and was very purposeful, but that purpose was to devote his whole life to the country, the people, and the country.

And Guan Xinrui has outstanding intelligence, but he is simply a bad person!

Maybe Guan Xinrui once had ideals and ambitions, but now they are obviously gone. Such a person may really be able to sit in a high position in Daegu, but he will definitely be a disaster for the people and the country! ——

Although Chai Wang didn't take Zhong Xingwen's martial arts seriously, he still cared very much about what Guan Xinrui said.

Long Lin, Wei Meng, gambling houses and other other matters were put aside for the time being. Chai Wang packed up and left Haiyu County that day.

There are many roads to Dingfeng County in Dahekou. Even if there is only one road, it is difficult to intercept a person on the road. But now that you know the real purpose of the other party, it will be easier. After all, you are going to that place!

Rather than chasing after each other, it is better to say that Zhong Xingwen and Chai Wangdu were just rushing.

Zhong Xingwen set out a few days earlier, but even if he knew the relatively specific address, he still needed to find directions from time to time.

Chai Wang set out a few days late, but he was going to a place he had already been to. He was familiar with the roads, and with his outstanding martial arts skills, even though he might not be as hardworking as Zhong Xingwen on the road, the process was still very fast.

This is a mutually invisible pursuit and race. Chai Wang knows Zhong Xingwen, but the latter does not know the existence of the former.

But maybe it was a sense of responsibility and justice, maybe it was the fear of hesitation and fear that made him shrink back, or maybe it was some other reason. Zhong Xingwen had always had a sense of urgency since he set out.

This sense of urgency prompted Zhong Xingwen to hurry up at any time along the way, not daring to rest for a while. Most of the time he just slept on carriages and boats, or even stayed in inns if he could.

From Haiyu County in Beihai County to Dingfeng County in Dahekou, it was almost two thousand miles. Zhong Xingwen didn't know how many people he had asked and how many roads he had missed.

But sleeping in the open air day and night made up for the time wasted on some wrong roads and detours.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!”

Amidst the sound of the water becoming slightly turbulent, a boatman on a small boat patted the boat's shed with his hand.

“Bang bang bang”

"Sir, we have arrived at the mouth of the river!"

Zhong Xingwen, who had been sleeping with his clothes on, opened his eyes almost immediately, sat up directly from the cabin, then walked out of the cabin to the bow.

"It's just ahead. Dingfeng County goes west from the mouth of the river and follows the road."

In Zhong Xingwen's eyes, there was the outline of a pier in the distance. It was still dark at the moment, and there were many lanterns lit on the pier.

"Woohoo. Woohoo"

A gust of cool wind blew, and Zhong Xingwen, who had just woken up, couldn't help but shiver from the cold. During this time, he was walking and his body was a lot weak.

But everything must be worth it, even if I am wrong!
