Gui'an County, Houya Flower Hall.

The back flower hall is a place to entertain guests. If guests come to the county government office, the county master will meet guests in this place.

Today, County Master Song Heng sat upright on the main seat in a long blue gown, wearing a black hair crown, and although his chin and beard were gray, his eyes were bright and his face was kind.

"The two came from the mansion, but what instructions did the mansion master give?"

Song Heng held the armrest of the chair with one hand and stroked his beard with the other, looking at two young men in brocade clothes sitting side by side on the chair on the left with a smile on his face.

The young man in charge Sun Jian bowed to Song Heng: "The Lord of the Mansion asked me to come here, two things."

"First, let me wait and see if you are willing to investigate the case of the baby theft in Gui'an County."

"Secondly, there are secret reports that you may have private gangs entrenched in An County. The Lord of the Palace asked me to come and investigate in detail."

Sun Jian smiled with a smile on his lips and looked contemptuous: "Mr. Song, you need to cooperate more this time."

"Since it is the order of the prefecture, our county should cooperate with it with all our strength."

Song Heng nodded with a serious face, but he was a little angry at Sun Jian's contemptuous look.

Although Sun Jian was sent by the Duke to investigate the case, he was only a seventh-rank judge, who was one level lower than himself.

"In the case of theft of the baby, the county will order people to send the files to the two judges for review."

"As for the private gangs, if the two judges ask for something, the county will definitely help each other."

Song Heng had a serious expression and a steady voice. Even though he didn't like Sun Jian in his heart, he was sent by someone from the mansion and he still had to give the face he deserved.

"Mr. Song County."

Sun Jian stood up from the chair, looked straight at Song Heng without any scruples, and his face was full of arrogant expression: "I would like to ask your county to temporarily hand over all the officials in the county to me to dispatch."

"snort."

Song Heng snorted coldly, and no matter how cunning he was, he couldn't help it at this time.

"Can you have a handwritten order from Lord Wu Zun?"

Song Heng narrowed his eyes slightly. The so-called handwriting was written by the Duke Zun, and then stamped with the official seal of Zhenbei Prefecture.

However, in Song Heng's opinion, unless the Mansion Master is really confused, he would never have issued this handwritten order.

Sure enough, Li Jian shook his head: "Not."

"Since the unofficial emperor's handwriting is not mentioned, it's better not to mention this matter."

Song Heng looked at Li Jian with a smile, really thinking that the judge sent by the mansion could use the name of the mansion to do whatever he wanted?

"Mr. Song County Magistrate, I am here to return for your return..."

"Um?"

Before Li Jian could finish his words, he heard Song Heng snorting coldly, representing the seventh level of the realm, three solid nine-petal white lotus that appeared and circled slowly from the middle of his eyebrows.

The atmosphere in the entire flower hall was frozen instantly, and even Li Jian felt that he was under great pressure, which made him unable to stand firm and could kneel down at any time.

"Mr. Song County Magistrate and Judge Li also tried to solve the case and had no malice."

"I hope the magistrate of Song County should not be angry."

Except for the first time he said a few words to Song Heng when he was greeting him, Shangguan Zheng, who had been sitting in the chair for the rest of the time, couldn't help but sigh and bowed to Song Heng on the chair.

It was not because he was arrogant, but because the pressure that Song Heng deliberately exuded made it difficult for him to get up.

The difference between the seventh grade and the seventh grade level is actually not so big. However, he and Li Jian have just entered the seventh grade level, and Song Heng is at the peak of the seventh grade level.

The weakest ones are from the seventh grade and the strongest ones are naturally bigger.

If he insisted on holding on, he could stand like Li Jian, or even barely fight back, but they were here to investigate the case, not to have a quarrel with Gui'an County.

"I respect you, you are sent by Master Zun of the Palace, but Gui'an County is definitely not a place where you are willing to act recklessly."

Song Heng spoke in a deep voice, his face full of coldness. Li Jian really thought that he was sent by the Lord of the Mansion to investigate the case, so he could act as a mighty man in front of his county magistrate?

Not to mention that the case of theft of the baby has not yet reached the deadline given by the Duke, even if the deadline has come and the case has not been solved, the Duke can only submit a memorial to impeach him, and it is impossible to directly remove him as the county magistrate.

As the words fell, the three solid nine-petal white lotus on Song Heng's eyebrows disappeared from his eyebrows, and the pressure in the house disappeared like flowing water.

Li Jian took a deep breath, sat back on the chair with a stiff expression, and stopped talking. Now his face was completely gone.

"Come."

Song Heng shouted, his voice loud and full of energy.

At that moment, a yamen runner walked in carefully from outside. The yamen runner was serving outside the flower hall just now, so he could naturally feel the situation inside the house.

"Please go and rest."

"Later, the file for the stolen baby will be transferred out and sent to the two judges."

"If the two judges have orders, just cooperate."

Song Heng ordered that there were a few smiles on his face. He wouldn't have been really angry with the two young men from the seventh grade. The reason why he got angry just now was that these two judges could see clearly who was in Gui'an County.

Instead of what they thought in their hearts, they could use the power of the fox to pretend to be a tiger in Gui'an County.

In fact, if these two judges spoke kindly, Song Heng might not have agreed to their request, but they chose this arrogant method. If he really agreed and spread it in the future, where is the face of his county magistrate?

"Please rest for the time being for the two of you. When the county is busy with official duties in the evening, I will welcome you to the two of you after you finish your business."

Song Heng bowed to Shangguan Zheng and Li Jian with a smile on his face, and even stood up from the chair and saw him off in person. He could not tell that he was furious for a moment before.

"Stay at your fingertips in Guixian."

Shangguan Zheng bowed to Song Heng and also smiled. As for Li Jian, who was stiff and even a little blue-red, he was ignored by both of them at the right time.

After leaving the flower hall, a yamen runner led the way and led Shangguan Zheng and Li Jian to the guest room in the yamen.

After the yamen runner left, Li Jian knocked on the door and entered Shangguan Zheng's room next door.

"Are you scared?"

Li Jian looked at Shangguan Zheng with a gloomy face. Both of them came from the mansion and should have helped each other, but unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Shangguan Zheng retreated.

"You know what you were doing just now?"

Shangguan Zheng looked at Li Jian with a gloomy face and frowned slightly. He was just a naughty man and didn't know how to restrain himself in his work.

If it weren't for the order from the mansion, he would not have been willing to come out with Li Jian to investigate the case. Just like before the case was investigated, he had already offended the person.

Indeed, they were only in their early twenties and had already reached the seventh level of realm. The future is limitless, and it is definitely not comparable to Song Heng, an already elderly and exhausted immortal official.
