I am the parent official of Ziling County. Who do you think you are, a little county captain?
The magistrate of Chu County was furious. An Daoming didn't come earlier or later, but he appeared just when he was about to tell Chen Chang and Wang Huan the details of Ziling County. He had obviously heard some rumors and came to help him.
A stumbling block.
Before this, although Magistrate Chu had obeyed the advice of the two young men from Jiangling, he did not hand over the real information. He was mainly worried about the power behind An Daoming. Behind Wang Huan was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Prince Consort of the court.
Sorry, but this does not mean that he, a small county magistrate, will be able to hug this big tree.
Magistrate Chu does not lack political wisdom. The battles in the court are turbulent. Who can guarantee that Wang Wei will stand firmly on his side at the critical moment? After all, the court is more about the exchange of interests. For one's own side.
It is a normal thing to sacrifice his little county magistrate for interests.
Magistrate Chu has been testing Wang Huan and Chen Chang's attitudes.
To a certain extent, he hopes that An Daoming will be related to Lou Qingyi's disappearance, so that he can use the power of the court to eliminate An Daoming and others, so that Ziling County can live up to his reputation as a parent official.
County Magistrate Chu was so angry that he was blue in the face at An Daoming's wanton and unreasonable behavior. He stretched out his hand to grab the wine bowl in An Daoming's hand. Although he was a civil servant, he was not a scholar without the power to tie a chicken. There were still some problems in his hands.
With great skill, I grabbed the rim of the wine bowl in one fell swoop.
The two of them grabbed half of it and tried their best at the same time, but neither of them could lift even half of it, and most of the wine in the bowl spilled.
Suddenly, An Daoming let go, and Magistrate Chu didn't expect it. He leaned back suddenly, half a bowl of wine spilled on the sleeves of his robe, and he almost fell to the ground, so embarrassed.
An Daoming laughed ferociously: "Since the county magistrate likes this bowl of wine, I will not take away the favor from you."
Chen Chang looked at these two people. No wonder An Daoming never showed up. It turned out that they had been on the same page for a long time. Now in front of him and Wang Huan, they didn't shy away and just broke into each other.
Chen Chang knew that this would not be of any benefit to them, so he pretended not to understand and laughed: "I came to Ziling County for the first time. I didn't expect that there are such banquet games here. It's really an eye-opener." Lieutenant An County
Now that you’re here, let’s sit down and drink together.”
Regarding An Daoming, Chen Chang has not found out the details, and it is inconvenient to offend him face to face. The best way now is to be a peacemaker.
Judging from what we know so far, Magistrate Chu seems to be moving closer to them. An Daoming's purpose is unknown, so taking this opportunity to show his kindness to An Daoming might be a good way to paralyze him.
Chen Chang has a very flexible mind, and this peacemaker must do it even if it temporarily makes Magistrate Chu sad.
An Daoming is not just here to join in the fun, his purpose is to find out the truth.
Just now, I just gave Magistrate Chu a warning, and also let Chen Chang and Wang Huan know who owns this Ziling County.
An Daoming snorted coldly and found an empty seat next to Magistrate Chu and sat down.
Magistrate Chu was feeling angry, but there was nothing he could do for a while.
However, he was not completely discouraged, but was waiting to see what would happen next.
Wang Huan's identity is known to only Magistrate Chu and Mrs. Chu in Ziling County. This is also the cleverness of Magistrate Chu. Don't you An Daoming want to cover the sky with one hand in Ziling County? Then I will give it to you.
A chance to hit the wall.
The more arrogant you are now, the worse you will lose in the future.
County Magistrate Chu cleared his throat and said to An Daoming: "Captain An, there has been a kidnapping case in this county. These two young gentlemen came from Jiangling to investigate the case thoroughly. Since you are no longer in serious condition,
Okay, this county will give you full authority to investigate the case. This county gives you three days to solve the case, find Miss Lou, and bring the culprit to justice. If you exceed the time limit, this county will only ask you!"
Since you can go to banquets and drink, your health will naturally be better, so I will throw this hot potato to you.
An Daoming sneered and said: "My lord, County Magistrate, I'm afraid this is not good. I am not familiar with the details of this case. Within three days, the deadline is three days to solve the case. You might as well just take An's body."
The official clothes were taken off."
"You..." County Magistrate Chu was furious.
An Daoming said coldly: "I am here today to cleanse the dust of the two young gentlemen. If you force the case to be handed over to me, let alone whether I will agree or not, I am afraid that the two young gentlemen will
I won’t agree to it either.”
"This..."
Magistrate Chu originally wanted to win the game, but he didn't expect that An Daoming wouldn't accept the move at all.
When Chen Chang and Wang Huan saw the two of them arguing, they couldn't interrupt.
Wang Huan leaned her head over and said, "How long are you going to drink this wine?"
There was a complaint in his tone. I originally wanted to get some useful information from Magistrate Chu, but now it seems that it has become a pure entertainment.
Chen Chang knew that she was worried, but An Daoming's appearance was unusual. The two of them left the table as soon as they arrived, which was not good.
Wang Huan said angrily: "Since you like drinking so much, just stay here with them. I'll take the first step!"
Chen Chang acted like a rogue: "If you leave, and if this guy surnamed An has any bad intentions, wouldn't I be in danger again?"
"You..." Wang Huan wanted to slap him in the face. When did she become his bodyguard?
Chen Chang winked at her, signaling her to calm down.
Afterwards, Chen Chang raised his wine glass and said to Magistrate Chu and County Lieutenant An: "Two adults, come here, I would like to propose a toast to you two adults!"
Magistrate Chu and Lieutenant An looked at each other, snorted coldly, and raised their glasses at the same time.
The three drank it all in one go.
"My two gentlemen, I understand what you just said. You both have good intentions. How about this, the county magistrate is familiar with the case, and the county magistrate is still responsible for the case. The county captain is very important in arresting the thief and the murderer. If you are good at something, you will have the county captain to help you. I wonder if this suggestion is good?"
In this way, both of them really had no objections.
Magistrate Chu wants to rely on this case to climb up the Wang family's tree, and Lieutenant An is unwilling to stay out of the matter. By letting him participate in this case, he can legitimately learn more information.
After that, it was another round of pushing cups and changing cups.
Chen Chang looked at the unkind faces of Magistrate Chu and Lieutenant An, and sighed secretly.
In the world, Northern Zhou, Northern Qi, and Southern Chen are fighting.
During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, two cousins, Emperor Ming Yu Wenyu and Yuwen Hu, were fighting.
In the Northern Qi Dynasty, Gao Yan and Gao Yin's uncle and nephew were fighting for imperial power.
Among Nanchen, cousins Chen Qian and Chen Chang are also fighting for imperial power.
The Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Later Liang Dynasty were also fighting.
Specifically, in this small Ziling County, the county magistrate and the county captain are also fighting.
Where there are people, there is struggle.
Fighting back and forth is nothing more than power and profit.
At this moment, Wang Huan whispered to him: "I'm going to go out and take a breath."
Chen Chang replied: "Be careful!"
I don’t know if she really wanted to take a breather or if she just wanted to go out for convenience. It’s not convenient to ask more about her daughter’s family.
Wang Huan confessed her crime and got up to go out.
