Wang Xian and others didn't really want to leave, they just said that to show off. After waiting at the foot of Taiyuan City for a long time, they finally waited for their fellow travelers...the team of the Taiyuan prefect came galloping from a distance.
Soon they arrived. As soon as Magistrate He saw the Wang Ming flag, he immediately got off his horse and bowed.
In the past, Wang Xian would have quickly dismounted to support him and say a few polite words like "Sir, don't be too polite." But this time, he remained motionless on the horse, just looking at the sweating man with a half-smile.
He Zhifu
"The imperial envoy actually recovered?" Magistrate He said with a surprised look on his face.
"Yes, thanks to the miracle doctor arranged by Master Futai." Wang Xian looked at him and said, "Why does Futai look unhappy?"
"How could it be? It's too late for me to be happy." Magistrate He hurriedly twitched the corners of his mouth and said with a happy expression: "I just didn't expect to meet you here, sir. It's really unexpected." He said strangely: "Why don't you, sir?
Going into the city?"
"Your Majesty, you are loyal to your duties." Wang Xian smiled and said, "What should I do if I can say all I can to you, but you won't let me enter the city?"
"They are too courageous." Hearing this, Magistrate He said angrily: "After entering the city, they will definitely not be able to eat and carry around."
"That's not necessary, let's hurry into the city first." Wang Xian said with a faint smile: "We have been here in the ice and snow for a long time, and the brothers are all frozen into popsicles."
"Yes, yes, yes, enter the city, enter the city." Magistrate He hurriedly rode forward and shouted towards the city: "A bunch of dogs, they have eyes that cannot recognize Mount Tai, why don't you hurry up and open the door for the imperial envoy?"
"Ah, are you really the imperial envoy?" the prefect spoke, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city quickly opened the city gate and knelt down by the road to apologize to Wang Xian.
Wang Xian didn't even look at these soldiers and generals, and rode into the city with Magistrate He. Behind him, a thousand cavalry were also going into the city, with no intention of stationing in the military camp outside the city!
"This" Magistrate He immediately said, "I'd better ask a large group of guards to station outside the city."
"No need, my cabin is big enough to accommodate more than a thousand people." Wang Xian said with a faint smile.
"No, I mean, so many officers and soldiers stationed in the city," Magistrate He said while wiping sweat, "it will cause uneasiness among the people..."
"There are tens of thousands of troops stationed in the military camps in Taiyuan City. One thousand more is not too much, and one thousand less is not much." Wang Xian said indifferently: "Don't fool me with this excuse."
Magistrate He clearly felt that Wang Xian's attitude had undergone earth-shaking changes. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain: "No, no, it's just that according to regulations, to station troops in the city, we need the consent of His Highness the King of Jin.
"I don't have a garrison, these are my guards." Wang Xian said coldly: "According to regulations, an imperial envoy can bring up to five hundred guards, and double the number when patrolling border areas. Shanxi is a border area, and my number of one thousand just fits the bill.
Regulations." He paused and said, "Guards, of course, can only protect you if you are by your side."
"The safety in the city is naturally the responsibility of the lower officials. Don't worry, sir."
"It's better to rely on yourself." Wang Xian said with a smile: "In this world, you can't rely on anyone except yourself."
Wang Xian's sudden foul language made Magistrate He stunned... In his impression, Wang Xian was a nerd who talked a lot. Why did he look like a different person when they met again? Could this be his true face?
Seeing that Magistrate He did not stop him, the city guards had no choice but to let all one thousand guards into the city.
The thousand troops were neither too many nor too few. The soldiers rode on war horses, forming two long snake formations, and slowly drove into the city. They still looked very oppressive.
At least Magistrate He was so overwhelmed that he couldn't breathe... It's not that there were many soldiers, but he could clearly feel the fierce murderous aura of these guys.
That murderous intent was clearly directed at him...
Over at the imperial envoy's camp, they had heard that Wang Xian had returned safely. Erhei, Zhou Yong and others, who had been waiting in the camp for more than half a month, ran out to greet them with joy. Wang Xian laughed and said, "I have recovered from my illness and gone out to take a rest."
Is it worth your excitement?"
While he was talking, he arrived in front of the gate of the residence. Wang Xian got off his horse and smiled at Magistrate He: "Come in and sit down?"
"No, I can't..." Magistrate He subconsciously hesitated at first, then thought of his mission, so he had to change his words: "Okay, okay."
"Is it so difficult? Just forget it if you don't want to come in." Wang Xian said coldly, "Let's just stand at the door and talk."
"Yeah, that's fine." Facing the arrogant and awe-inspiring imperial envoy, Magistrate He was really frightened to go in.
"My illness has delayed even the emperor's mission." Wang Xian actually stood at the gate of the carriage house and said condescendingly to Magistrate He at the foot of the stone steps: "Have you received any orders from Beijing recently?"
"There really is a purpose," Magistrate He said helplessly: "The imperial court is responsible for verifying whether the cause of death of the old concubine is the same as what the Jin Palace announced." He sighed inwardly, things are really unpredictable in the world, this was quite sensible at the time.
This move now has the meaning of 'shooting oneself in the foot'.
But the decree has been sent to Wang Xian's house a long time ago, and it is impossible for him to change his mind...
"Oh, I got it." Wang Xian said nonchalantly, "But I have to finish my errands first." He scratched his head and laughed loudly after a while: "Look at my memory. Before I fell ill,
, where have we progressed?"
"It's time to interview the relevant officials." Magistrate He said.
"My memory is really good." Wang Xian smiled and hit each other with his hands and said: "I would like to ask you to go and inform me. The relevant officials will come to the camp tomorrow to be questioned." He said with a cold face: "Whoever dares to be late will be punished.
Just wait for the ginseng.”
"Yes." Magistrate He responded hurriedly.
"Go." Wang Xian waved his sleeves and congratulated the prefect as if he had been granted amnesty. He didn't take a few steps, but he heard the imperial commissioner behind him saying coldly: "Also, I need a batch of prison cars. They must be strong enough and keep warm.
…It’s freezing cold here, so we can’t cut corners, otherwise the prisoners will freeze to death before they can reach the capital.”
"Yes..." Magistrate He turned around with some difficulty, swallowed his foam and asked, "How many... that... prison cars do you need, sir?"
"A few cars are not enough," Wang Xian said calmly: "Let's rush to make 200 cars first. I think they are enough, but we will tell later..."
"Two, two hundred cars?" Magistrate He almost twisted his neck, his eyes almost popped out of his head and asked: "Is it still enough?"
"Haha, are you prepared?" Wang Xian said with a cold smile: "Master Futai doesn't look good."
"Haha..." Magistrate He said with a bitter smile: "Anyone who hears that a prison is going to be raised will not look good."
"Why do I feel so excited?" Wang Xian said with a sinister smile: "As long as the prison van is not prepared for me, I think the more the better."
"Your Excellency, your views are really unique." Magistrate He secretly scolded him for being a pervert several times, and hurriedly left.
After returning to the camp, the first thing Gu Xiaolian did was to take a shower. In the more than 20 days since she left Guangling County, the girl's family had not had the opportunity to take a shower. She had already become impatient and impatient...
The last time Wang Xian took a bath was ten days earlier than Miss Xiao Lian, but he remained calm and had no intention of taking a bath. Instead, he went into the study room to talk with his brothers.
Zhou Yong and Erhei were dazzled when they briefly talked about their experiences during this period. The latter complained, "You didn't take me with you last time when you went to the Gobi Desert, and you didn't take me with you this time when you went to the snowfield. Do you think you're going to do that?"
I'm a burden
"I think you are a resentful woman. How many times have I told you that the division of labor is different?" Wang Xian scolded with a smile, and said with a gloomy expression: "I am worried about Master Xianyun now. I don't know if he is out of danger.
"It must be no problem, he has such a high level of martial arts." Zhou Yong said hurriedly, Erhei also nodded in agreement and said: "Cats have nine lives, Master Xianyun has ten lives, and the people of Wutai County are all dead.
, he will be fine."
"I hope so." Wang Xian smiled bitterly and said, "What about you, what do you want to tell me?"
"There really is," Erhei's eyes flashed, he came close to Wang Xian's ear, and lowered his voice and said, "That Gou San has been found..."
"Really?" Wang Xian said in surprise.
"Actually, we didn't find him, he came to him himself." Erhei looked at Wang Xian with a look that was almost like looking at Zhang Shenxian from Fuyang County.
"Haha, everything is under control." Wang Xian immediately said, "Where are you now?"
"My subordinates secretly took him into custody," Zhou Yong said softly, "There are people watching him twelve hours a day."
"Very good." Wang Xian nodded. With Gou San in hand, he has a greater chance of taking the initiative.
"Sir, do you want to see him now?" Zhou Yong asked.
"Don't worry yet." Wang Xian said softly: "Let me tell you about the next arrangements first..."
After hearing Wang Xian's plan, Zhou Yong and others were shocked and said: "Your Majesty, you really need so many prison cars. My subordinates thought you were trying to intimidate Magistrate He."
"I understand." Wang Xian said calmly: "Anyway, we want to make it big, so why not make it the biggest? How can we shock the emperor if it is not the biggest? If the emperor is not angry, how can we turn this game over? So we are not afraid this time
If the matter is serious, I'm afraid that it will start in the same way but end in the end..."
"Isn't it possible?" Zhou Yong said: "Now that we have all the witnesses and material evidence, how can it be possible that it starts but ends?
"So you've been walking around in public for nothing," Erhei said angrily, "You actually asked such a childish question."
"How could I be naive? I also know the tricks in Gongmen," Zhou Yong said angrily: "But you are so clear-eyed, sir, and you have the king's order flag, how can you be fooled by a group of ugly people? You can definitely catch them." He was anxious,
His mouth was actually much smoother than usual.
"Let's see step by step." Wang Xian sighed, showing a hesitant look that was inconsistent with his previous strength: "It's hard to say who will have the last laugh in this game." He felt that his words were too demoralizing.
, he cheered up and said word by word: "I only know one thing, that is, you will succeed without regrets, and you will succeed and lose."
