Xin'an magistrate Zhou Guan, the days of the recent period can be summarized in one word, that is, to make joy in suffering.

Not to mention that he was forced to get involved in the open and secret struggle between the East Factory and the Jinyiwei, he was caught between the two ends and was angry. He was forced to pay 500 taels of silver to avoid disasters, which made him feel deeply hurt.

And he thought that the Xianyou Princess Zhu Jinxuan would only stay under his rule for three or five days at most, and there was no sign of leaving yet.

This made him, who had originally planned to make up for the 500 taels of silver he had paid after Zhu Jinxuan left Xin'an County, and could only helplessly continue to suppress this thought in his heart, not daring to have a slight evil thought.

However, in recent times, my life has been so frustrating and thorough, but I have found fun.

His source of fun is Dongchang.

Although Zhou Guan, like the soldiers and yamen runners under his command, did not believe that the East Factory would make such a big mistake.

After all, as an official with relatively high qualifications, he also experienced the period when the East Factory and the West Factory were rampant during the late emperor's dynasty. This is why he was so cautious and quickly agreed to Li Yu's request after seeing Li Yu before.

The tiger will never lose its power, not to mention that the East Factory is just weak now and has not yet died like the West Factory.

But as relevant news continued to spread, Zhou Guan gradually believed in the authenticity of the news.

Three people become tigers. Even if there are fake news, they will naturally believe it if there are too many people talking about it.

And I was convinced that Dongchang was really fooled by a group of people in the martial arts world this time. After the treasure escorted was stolen, Zhou Guan couldn't help but gloat.

Unfortunately, always relative.

Zhou Guan felt that although he had paid 500 taels of silver for no reason and had to continue dressing up his grandson now, he was losing money and avoiding disaster.

Even if he is a little frustrated now, as long as Princess Xianyou Zhu Jinxuan leaves Xin'an County under his rule, everything will still return to normal. Apart from the five hundred taels of silver, he can say that he has no loss. Even if it is the five hundred taels of silver, Zhu Jinxuan can take it back immediately after leaving.

But the East Factory was obviously not so lucky.

As the highest commander in charge of a county, although Zhou Guan is not as well-informed as Tianji Pavilion, he will not be missing anything he should know.

In addition to the news that his subordinates who were flattering and swearing clerks tried their best to inquire, he could also get the latest news from his colleagues in Yanzhou Prefecture next door.

Just like those third and fourth-rate little people in Xin'an County who like to make friends everywhere, Zhou Guan, who was a Jinshi, had to be a sixth and seventh-rank official who had been a Jinshi all his life, liked to do the most, and hugged the thighs of the court officials and contacted colleagues of the same level of the same background.

The protection of officials and officials is obviously much more complicated than the literal meaning.

Therefore, in the entire Xin'an County, the person who knew the most secrets of this sensational incident must be Zhu Jinxuan and Bai Shier, but the third one is not necessarily Tianji Pavilion.

After knowing so many secrets, you will naturally be able to understand the situation of Dongchang at this time.

Therefore, seeing Dongchang so unlucky, his previous depression was completely thrown behind him.

At this time, he only hopes that the stolen treasures will escape as far as possible, and it is best that the Dongchang will not be discovered in this life, so that the Dongchang will take off a layer of skin even if he does not die.

As for those treasures.

Haha, even if it is retrieved, it will not fall into his Zhou Guan's hands.

Enjoy joy in suffering.

Extreme happiness leads to sorrow.

Unfortunately, the next idiom Shanlong made Zhou Guan, who had just found some fun, instantly fell into a situation similar to Dongchang.

...

"Get out of the way, let go out of the way, let go out of the way, the magistrate is here, let go out of the way!"

The Jianghuai Association is still crowded at this time, but compared to the situation where everyone had a little flattering on their faces and a lot of desire in their eyes not long ago, the crowd was filled with fear and anxiety.

If Qingjiang Gang had not rudely prohibited anyone from leaving, I was afraid that they would have already fleeing like frightened birds and beasts at this time.

Even so, when Zhou Guan, wearing an official uniform, entered the lobby of the Jianghuai Association under the opening of a group of yamen runners, the crowd couldn't help but stir.

Thousands of years of official-centered thinking have made the saying "the people do not fight with officials" a famous saying, and even ordinary civilians will feel a sense of fear when they see officials.

This is true for ordinary civilians, not to mention the knights of the world who have never been favored by the court by force.

Therefore, seeing Zhou Guan in official uniforms, these people in the martial arts world immediately felt uncomfortable.

However, if they know that there is any abnormal movement at this time, they may be arrested as prisoners, and they also know that they should calm down at this time.

Therefore, the commotion quickly subsided, and the hearts of the Qingjiang Gang members around him were restored to their stomachs.

Zhou Guan was invited by them. If these people in the martial arts world do not abide by the rules and bump into Zhou Guan, they will also be in trouble.

...

"Laojia, is there something happened in the Jianghuai Association? Why is even the magistrate coming?"

Outside the Jianghuai Association, Bai Shier, who was half-dragged by Zhu Jinxuan to visit Xin'an County, happened to be outside the Jianghuai Association. Seeing such a big noise, he naturally became interested immediately. While stopping to observe, he asked the pedestrians who were obviously watching the fun.

"I don't know much about this. I also saw that so many people gathered here to see it."

It seems that passers-by didn't seem to have been there for too long than Bai Shier. After hearing Bai Shier's inquiry, he shook his head gently.

"Hey, Zhou Bapi has always been a good deal. If he can work for him, it must be related to money. I think, maybe the people from the Jianghuai Association wanted to stay with Zhou Bapi last year, so they spent a lot of money to invite him over."

Although the passerby who was asking Bai Shier shook his head with a confused look on his face, gossipers have never lacked this land from ancient times to the present. A passerby who also heard Bai Shier's questioning was immediately spoken on the side.

"Tsk, I'm just talking nonsense without knowing anything."

But obviously, he met his opponent today.

"I came here on my own initiative this week."

"How is this possible? Can Zhou Bapi still have time to have money?"

"Nonsense, people died in Xin'an County, and they were killed in broad daylight, in full view of everyone. Will Zhou Bapi dare not come?"

"What? Is it dead?"

At this moment, the onlookers around who were also unaware of the truth immediately surrounded him.

"Who died? And who killed it?"
