It was warm in March, and after the rain, the horse's hooves stomped through the mud. Pedestrians on the road were busy avoiding it, but they were still splashed with mud and water. They exclaimed in a low voice and cursed in chaos. They looked up at the team of people and horses headed straight to the city gate ahead.

This was a group of more than forty cavalrymen, with swords in their hands and crossbows tied on their backs. The mottled armor did not dim in spring, but instead flashed with a heart-wrenching light. It split the road like a sickle and the city gate. It drove straight into the sky and no one dared to stop it.

"It is the one who hunts down the Qin thief party."

"They have the Shangfang Sword, so they dare not stop it."

"What kind of Shangfang Sword? Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand it. That's called a military order."

"Anyway, they just kill whoever they want... So, the Black Armor Guard has arrived here? It's so scary."

The people who were eager to enter the city in front of the city gate caused some chaos, but the verification was still strict.

"Don't worry, sir." In the government, three officials said to the general standing in the hall, "We have been verifying the city gates here, and all the faces are registered."

The magistrate of the government office also took out a thick booklet.

The general said: "It is not possible to only check the city gates, but also to search the entire mansion, and never let go of every village from door to door."

The three officials looked at each other.

"But, haven't the Black Armored Guards been cleared?" The prefect hesitated, "We haven't found any more recently in our territory. This is a massive search for disturbing people."

Tongzhi and Tongzong also nodded, especially now it is time to plant spring.

"We will investigate the city gate strictly, and the wanted notices are all sent to the county, town and township. Please rest assured, if there are suspicious people, etc..." They said, but they were interrupted by the general before they finished speaking.

"Now it's not just searching and arresting the traces of the Black Armor Guard and Xue Qing." He said.

No? Then what are the searches and arrests? The officials are puzzled.

"Kill the Black Armored Guard." General said.

......

......

The door of the official hall was slammed and the officials who walked by stopped in surprise and looked at the four armored cold-faced soldiers outside the door guarding.

The officials apologized to the officials around them.

"Magistrate Wang, it seems unfortunate that the magistrate cannot see him now." He said.

Magistrate Wang was at least twenty years old, and was elegant and elegant. He smiled and said, "I'll come again next day."

The official who led the way said: "I think I'll finish it here soon. How about the magistrate Wang coming to my place for tea first?"

Magistrate Wang thanked: "Then I'll bother you."

The official said repeatedly how could it be? He was a Juren and always felt a little ashamed in front of these Jinshis. However, this young Jinshi did not have the slightest arrogance, and he did very well in official duties, was diligent and not confused, honest and not reckless, and was unanimous in his post for half a year. Such officials must have a great future in the future, and of course they must make good friends.

"Minister Wang is from Chang'an Prefecture, right?" The official led Minister Wang to the side, chatting casually.

Magistrate Wang responded: "From Chang'an Prefecture."

"What a coincidence, I just said that it is local tea from Chang'an Prefecture. Do you want to try it and see if it is authentic?"

"OK."

Magistrate Wang followed the official, looked back at the four soldiers outside the prefect's hall, and withdrew his gaze and crossed the threshold.

......

......

"Sir, aren't the officers and soldiers who have eliminated the Black Armored Guard?" The prefect asked in a low voice.

Tongzhi and Tongzong also looked at the general, curious and seemed to guess something.

The general said: "No, it's the rebel Xue Qing."

The rebel Xue Qing killed the rebel Black Armor Guard... Three officials looked at each other, and this kind of relationship...

"Not only that, Xue Qing was so ruthless." He said to the official, "and these things were left behind." He took out a piece of paper and handed it over.

The prefect took it, and the magistrate and the magistrate also surrounded him. The three of them looked shocked when they saw the words on the paper.

"It turns out..." They blurted out and swallowed all the words back to their mouths.

The general said: "Xue Qing is more than one person, but a group of people. They may be hiding as horse bandits and bandits. Now they want to search their traces, but this matter must be concealed."

The three officials looked at the words on the paper again. Such things were really hard to publicize, and their expressions were a little complicated. Things had reached this point.

"Yes, we understand." They said in a stern manner. "We will rewrite the arrest documents to investigate the bandits and horse bandits, and not let go of any strange and suspicious person."

After discussing some details, the general said goodbye to continue the inspection. The prefect sent it out in person. When he returned to the hall, the Tongzhi and the Tongzong were still shocked by the news.

"I really didn't expect that things would be like this." Tongzhi said.

The magistrate said: "It seems that what she said in front of the palace gate was true."

Xue Qing's words of calling me the real emperor in front of the palace gate have spread to the level of officials like the prefecture. The court's explanation for this matter was a conspiracy of Duke Tan of Qin, and the rebel words were not credible.

Now the unreliable rebels have eliminated the Black Armored Guard and have shown that they are incompatible with the Black Armored Guard...

Then that sentence is naturally not Qin Tan Gong’s conspiracy, but it is what Xue Qing said...

She is the real princess.

The wind in March blew, and the prefect shuddered.

"Ha, what are you talking nonsense! What is she true!" he shouted in a low voice.

The judge hurriedly said, "I mean the fact that she said that in front of the palace gate is true, either she is the real emperor."

This time, Tongzhi also shouted and stopped.

The more I explained, the more troublesome it became. The judge stomped his feet and said, "I'll write a notice for investigation now." Let's stop talking about it.

The Tongzhi also asked for his resignation to do things, and at the same time he also digested the shocking news with his confidant master, but the prefect did not stop him.

"This matter is very important, please keep it confidential." He reminded, "After the investigation notice is written, you and I will also check it out."

Tongzhi left after answering the news.

The prefect looked down at the paper in his hand again. A few sentences were written on the paper. Among them, the two sentences of Emperor Baozhang's destruction of traitors and pretending to be punished by Emperor Baozhang's devils. It would make people have different interpretations when they saw it. The last sentence was straightforward and naked in the face, making you unable to think about it even if you think too much.

The Song and Yuan dynasties stole the country, and the real emperor was among the people.

Hiss... The prefect couldn't help but take a breath.

The sound of footsteps came from outside with a sir.

The prefect was slightly frightened and subconsciously clenched the paper in his hand. The sound of paper kneading sounded in the hall, and the footsteps also stopped. Two officials stood outside the hall and looked over. Neither of them were strangers. One was a civil servant in the government office, and the other was a new magistrate who came last year.

The prefect took the paper in his hand and restored his expression.

Magistrate Wang bowed and shouted to the master, saying, "The official came to tell the master about the summer tax this year." He added, "I mentioned it to the master during the New Year, and the master asked me to come at this time."

The prefect thought about it and said, "Come in."

.....

.....

The officers and soldiers traveling through the streets and alleys in the city caused a lot of inquiries, and the government office became busier than before.

Three civil servants rushed out in a hurry, surrounded by more than a dozen servants, and someone almost collided.

The civil servants were angry and wanted to scold them. They looked up and saw a dressed in an official robe. They swallowed the words of anger. Then they saw the young face of the visitor, and smiled on their faces...

Although they were a small magistrate, they were not allowed to be slow in their background.

"Minister Wang, didn't finish Xia Sheng's affairs yesterday?" A civil servant took the initiative, "The magistrate is in the back hall."

Magistrate Wang was holding a few paper bags in his hand and said with a smile: "No, I'm finished talking. Today I'm here to meet Lord He." He raised the paper bag in his hand. "I tasted his Chang'an Mansion tea soup yesterday. I didn't feel very authentic. I just took it with him to try it." Another smile, "You guys will try it all after you finish your work."

The civil servants all laughed and thanked each other, and Magistrate Wang took the initiative to move aside.

The civil servants no longer said politely: "We are going to post notices." They hurriedly dispersed to the streets, from the government office to the streets and then to the city gates, and they would receive them in their respective counties and towns.

When I saw the government posting a notice, the people on the street gathered quickly, some were lyrics loudly, and some were literate people who read it themselves.

"... Recently, there have been bandits and horse bandits in the territory...."

“…Whoever has any idle strangers must report it…”

"...The government mobilized officers and soldiers to search and obey orders and do not stop them, otherwise it will be a party to discuss it..."

The bandits and horse bandits have always existed, but they are scattered in the countryside, and the government sends notices to arrest and search warnings. It must be that something big has happened and a big evil has been done. The people on the street are surprised and frightened. Have the bandits and horse bandits in the territory been so rebellious?

The city was suddenly noisy and noisy.

There was a place where people were also listening to the notices on the wall.

"...The black armored guards in the territory have been eradicated today, so everyone can rest assured..."

Some people passed by and heard a babbling sound, turned to look over. He had just come from the other street and had just finished listening to the notice there, but the content...

Is the content of the notice different? The readout voice continued to come over there.

"......I tell everyone that the Black Armor Guard is a remnant of the traitor, but Xue Qing is not a rebel. The Song and Yuan stolen the country, and the real emperor is among the people..."

ha?
To be continued...
