Wang Zhi, the magistrate of Zhangpu, who had reached a secret deal with two famous arresters from Liushemen, returned to the county government with satisfaction.

In his opinion, with the endorsement of the two famous arresters Peng Zhenlei and Ye Bi, even if Shangguan was punished for his defeat of dozens of brave soldiers but failed to successfully eliminate them, his reputation of "loveing ​​the people as much as his son" would greatly save his image and thus make Shangguan lose his temper.

He may suffer some losses for the time being, but his reputation will undoubtedly take the opportunity to improve a lot.

For an official, this reputation is far more "baby" than the losses he suffered temporarily.

Maybe I have no chance to covet official positions such as the sixth-rank magistrate and the fifth-rank magistrate, this time I may have the chance to rush for it because of this reputation of "love the people as much as my son"!

Unfortunately, his fantasy seemed to be completely disillusioned after less than one night.

Not only that, he felt a little desperate in his heart that he might not even be able to save his original seventh-rank magistrate.

...

The reason why Wang Zhi's mood instantly fell from heaven to hell is very simple.

Two ordinary people came to him at the same time.

Although the two of them were wearing extremely simple coarse cloth clothes, they seemed to be not even qualified to stand with him.

But the two tokens that could not hold back the two of them were taking out of their arms representing the identity that represented was really scary.

The Jinyiwei Qianhu.

East Factory Large Facility Head.

...

Although he has been an official for many years, Wang Zhi has not even seen the tokens of the Jinyiwei households for so many years. As for the Dongchang, which is more rampant, he has never seen a single post with his own eyes. Every time the Dongchang people appear under his rule, every time the person who appears in front of him is the lowest-level man.

But this time,

Jinyiwei Qianhu! The big head of the East Factory!

Not to mention him, a small seventh-rank magistrate, even if he is the chief official and governor in the yamen of the governor, when he sees these two tokens appearing in front of him at the same time, he is afraid that his heart will immediately miss it.

"Gudong."

Wang Zhi, who swallowed carefully, looked like he was no different from a chicken waiting to be slaughtered when facing these two "evil gods".

"Two, two, two, two, two, two, big, big, Shangguan, came here in person, don't know if you give me the order?"

Even though he had already plucked up all his courage, Wang Zhi was still timid as soon as he spoke, and the bad start made him even more nervous, so that it took him a while to finish a simple sentence.

But Wang Zhi was no longer ashamed of his cowardice at this time, because the Jinyiwei Qianhu was in his ears with a question that had no feelings but made him lose his soul.

"I heard that yesterday you sent troops to the southern mountains to suppress bandits?"

A very simple question made Wang Zhi completely panicked.

Although he was panicked, his head did not become chaotic. On the contrary, he knew that if he wanted to save his life, he had to keep his mind clear. Perhaps only one head was left in his body that could function normally.

It is precisely because of this that after hearing this question, he immediately figured out the key points.

Then, a strong impulse surged in his heart - he immediately grabbed Shen Wanan, the damn guy, and cut him into pieces.

"Report to the thousand households, yes, the lower officials have obtained the exact news. In the south, in the deserted mountains, there are bandits, and the thieves gathered to occupy the mountains, so..."

However, Chen Wanan has long disappeared. All he could do at this time was to rack his brains to organize his language, wanting to minimize his role and trouble in this matter.

"Ha, there's no need to say this nonsense."

But unfortunately, the third person in the room, Dongchang's big boss, interrupted him with a sneer.

"We are not here to listen to you're justifying your stupidity. You still have the opportunity to tell the truth. If you are still so lucky and stubborn, I believe that there must be many people under you who are willing to help you."

Hearing the other party's cold threat, Wang Zhi immediately surrendered.

Perhaps the people below didn't know the details of Chen Wan'an's persuasion to him, but they would definitely not dare to spit out a word they knew.

With the skills of the factory guards and combined with these contents, we can infer the matter. By then, they will come to see him again, but they will not be in this county government office, but in a prison that has become a temporary prison.

He didn't think that the dignified factory guards would not dare to torture him, a county magistrate.

After only a few short breaths of short measurement, Wang Zhi immediately revealed the truth like a bamboo tube pouring beans. Even if Chen Wan'an had bribed him hundreds of taels of silver before, he did not dare to hide it.

He didn't think the other party would be unable to find out because of his concealment.

Moreover, how could a few hundred taels of silver be taken seriously by the Jinyiwei Qianhu and the Dongchang big box?

"Where is that Chen Wanan now?"

"Well? Report to the two Shangguans, Chen Wanan had already escaped before the captains of Peng Zhenlei and Ye Bi of Six Gates entered the city yesterday."

Although it was strange that Yu and the other two didn't know that Chen Wanan had escaped, Wang Zhi immediately told the truth honestly.

"The person with six doors?"

The two people who were supposed to be the biggest opponents looked at each other at this moment, and the same bad expression appeared on their faces.

"They actually took the lead."

"Let's go and ask them first if they have received any useful news yesterday."

While the two of them spoke, they left Wang Zhi with a nervous expression and left the county government, which made Wang Zhi feel frightened and grateful.

"Next, I'm afraid things will become more and more troublesome."

He was temporarily out of danger, and the glory in Wang Zhi's eyes flashed. He knew that during the next period, he was afraid that he would be a human being with his tail between his tail, but it was wrong, he would be an official with his tail between his tail.

"However, what heinous crime did Chen Wan'an commit? It actually attracted the Jinyiwei Qianhu and the big man like the East Factory to come together? What is the origin of that group of powerful bandits?"

Although he understands the principle of "the more you know, the faster you die", Wang Zhi, who has personally participated in and experienced almost everything in the past two days, still couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity in his heart.

Fortunately, the life experience accumulated by time still forced him to suppress this curiosity immediately.

...

At this time, the three major yamen that were also chasing the Japanese clues finally got together for the first time.

After exchanging their own news, the three major yamen that originally planned to find out the truth in the front office alone have begun to think of cooperation under the pressure of reality.
