Because Lin Fan had confessed, all the affairs in the county were handed over to Lord Yang, the chief bookkeeper, so the porter did not go to the back office to disturb Lin Fan, who was healing, but went directly to the study to find Yang Yuanwang to report.

Yang Yuanwang was buried in the bookcase at this time, dealing with the official business accumulated by the war over the years.

Originally, these things should not have been his turn to do, but now that the county order is absent, the county Chengtian Wufeng was killed by Lin Fan again, and Lin Fan himself does not want to be involved in government affairs too much, so many things can only be handed over to him, the county government master.

Now that the war has just ended, Yongyang City is about to become a mess, and there are too many things to do. Fortunately, most of the officials survived this time, so that stability in the city could be restored in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, all this big mess would fall on him at once, and Yang Yuanwang would have the heart to die.

Although there are many things that are not yet understood, there are many official matters on the desk that need to be dealt with urgently.

But Yang Yuanwang, who got the news, could only withdraw from the official duties that made him anxious, and hurried to the gate of the county government to greet Shangguan.

Yang Yuanwang hurried all the way to the gate of the county office. When he saw the visitor, he first took a quick look at the group and identified the identity of the visitor.

Ma Qingze was wearing a five-grade civil official uniform, standing out from the crowd in a group of armored men, and Yang Yuanwang naturally couldn't admit his mistake.

Facing this kind of big man who he can't usually see, Yang Yuanwang hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Yang Yuanwang, the head of the Yongyang County Ya of Xiaguan, see the Lord of the Army!" I wonder if you are here, what do you say? ”

After all, Yang Yuanwang has a meritorious official position, and now that he has made such a great contribution, Ma Qingze is not as arrogant as he is to An Ning.

He immediately bowed a little as a courtesy: "Master Yang is exempt!" Lord Yang has made meritorious contributions to defending the city this time, and when the court in Japan is rewarded for his meritorious deeds, Lord Yang will be promoted to the post of official, and the official is here to congratulate Lord Yang in advance on his promotion. Aha! ”

Ma Qingze told the truth, the reason why this battle was able to achieve such a big victory was due to the battle of Yongyang to defend the city. As one of the chief defenders of this battle, it is inevitable that Yang Yuanwang will be rewarded.

Not only that, Yang Yuanwang's contribution will be recorded in the archives by the officials, which will have a great impact on his future career. At the very least, when facing the promotion evaluation, it will give him an advantage over others, and the chances of promotion will be greater.

"In this battle, there is a military inspection that makes Master Lin take the lead and rush to the front; There are soldiers who use their lives and are not afraid of life and death; Then there are the people who are of one heart and have the same hatred for their enemies; In this way, there is today's victory, and the lower officials really dare not take credit! Yang Yuanwang did not mean to be greedy for credit, and told everything truthfully.

And he also knew that there were so many pairs of eyes up and down in this battle, even if he wanted to reach out, it would definitely not be successful.

Ma Qingze said with a smile: "Master Yang is too modest, I heard about it as soon as I entered the city, and Lord Yang's merits are also obvious to all!" ”

After a brief greeting, Ma Qingze quickly got to the point: "Master Yang, this official is here for official business, and the gossip can be put on a later chat, where is the Lin Inspector?" ”

"In the battle to defend the city, Lord Lin was seriously injured, and he should be treating his injuries in the rear office at this time. If the adult is looking for Lord Lin to have something, the lower official will ask Lord Lin to come out to greet the adult! Yang Yuanwang already vaguely knew Ma Qingze's intentions, so he pretended to say a good word for Lin Fan inadvertently, wanting to test the attitude of the visitor.

"No need, since Inspector Lin is injured and has difficulty moving, the official will go to see him himself." After Ma Qingze finished speaking, he turned over and dismounted, and he was about to take people into the county office.

"Your Excellency, please!" Yang Yuanwang didn't dare to stop him, so he could only lead the way in front of his head and invite Ma Qingze into the county government. And judging from Ma Qingze's attitude and the fact that he didn't directly let people go in to arrest Lin Fan, I don't think things will get to the worst point.

Lin Fan of the Houya had also received news from the above at this time. He had no choice but to suppress his grief and let He Fang stay with Yuanzhi to guard Zhou Bo's body, while he took Chen Fangshu and Li Qingshan to prepare to greet him.

When Ma Qingze entered the back office, he saw wounded soldiers, busy doctors and assistants all over the ground. The air was filled with the smell of medicine and the rancid smell of rotting wounds, and the scene here was indeed a bit chaotic.

This made Ma Qingze frown a little, but he often went in and out of the barracks, and this kind of scene was still bearable.

He looked at the few people who came out to greet him, and that Lin Fan should be among them.

He asked, "May I ask who is Lin Inspector, please come out and answer?" ”

Due to the urgency of time, Lin Fan didn't have time to put on the official clothes, only wore a coat and hurried out, so Ma Qingze didn't recognize him.

This is already disrespectful to the Shangguan. If you meet someone with a bad temper, you may get mad on the spot.

"The next official is Lin Fan, he came in a hurry, he lost his appearance, and he asked the official to punish him!" Lin Fan hurriedly stood up and bowed to Ma Qingze.

Ma Qingze was indeed a little unhappy about this, but because Lin Fan was indeed injured, he didn't say anything: "Lin Patrol is injured, don't be polite!" Let's listen to the order first! ”

Now that he has seen the main master, Ma Qingze will no longer beat around the bush.

He said with a straight face: "I was ordered by the Ministry of Tang Jun: Lin Fan, the military attache patrol envoy, killed Yongyang County Chengtian without defects, which violated national law, and immediately detained him and waited for the court to send him down!" ”

"Lin Patrol, offended!" After reading Shi Qiuming's order, Ma Qingze gave him a look, and several accompanying sergeants took care of Lin Fan, but these people didn't move, they just separated him from everyone.

Ma Qingze said to Lin Fan again: "Lin Inspection, from my personal point of view, I deeply admire Lord Lin's actions. Moreover, Lord Lin killed Tian Wufeng for a reason, and before I came, the Governor repeatedly instructed me to be kind to those who have meritorious service. Therefore, only the forest inspection cooperates, don't make us embarrassed, and we will not be difficult for the forest inspection. ”

"And Shibutang will truthfully report the defense of the city of the forest inspection to the imperial court, and I believe that the imperial court will deal with the forest inspection fairly. But the law of the country is difficult to violate, and before the court's handling is decided, it is still necessary to grieve the forest inspection! ”

Lin Fan personally didn't care, from the beginning he knew that there would be today's result.

He bowed his hand to Ma Qingze and said: "My lord, the sinner is responsible for the crime, so he naturally obeys the court. It's just that the sinner still has some personal matters to deal with, and I ask the sinner to forgive me some time, and the sinner will ask the sinner to ask the adult for the guilt later! ”

Ma Qingze will not embarrass Lin Fan because of these things: "Lin Patrol, please!" ”

Lin Fan bowed to him, and then looked at Chen Fangshu, Wang Hu and the others.

Chen Fangshu and the others already knew that Ma Qingze was here to detain Lin Fan, and they were secretly crying at this time.

Lin Fan smiled and comforted them: "What are you crying about? It's not anything

The big thing is just to go in and stay for a few days. Trust me, it's going to be fine! ”

Then he began to arrange the future matters: "After I leave, Fang Shu and Brother Wang Hu, the affairs of the inspection department will trouble all of you." Now that most of the brothers in the inspection department have been killed or injured in battle, in addition to recruiting people and rebuilding the inspection department, you must also do a good job of giving compensation to the brothers and not make everyone feel cold. If the money is not enough, you can go to Deyue Tower to find the white shopkeeper, take some out of her first, and then pay it back after I come out! ”

"Also, Uncle Zhou's future affairs have to bother everyone. Put incense on the pillar for Uncle Zhou for me, and burn more paper money by the way. Yuanzhi is still young, and now he has no relatives, so please take care of this child more. ”

Chen Fangshu and others tearfully agreed.

Lin Fan looked at Yang Yuanwang again: "Yongyang has become a mess now, it stands to reason that I shouldn't trouble Lord Yang anymore." But before I come out or the new inspector arrives, I also ask Lord Yang to take care of the inspection department when it is in trouble! ”

"Lord Lin, don't worry!" Yang Yuanwang also nodded in agreement.

The matter was over, Lin Fan said to Ma Qingze: "My lord, you can go!" ”

Ma Qingze snorted and instructed his subordinates: "Take Lin to inspect and go to the prison." ”

Lin Fan was under the custody of two armor soldiers and walked to the county jail.

"Subordinates send off your lordship!" Wang Hu followed Lin Fan for the longest time and had the deepest feelings, and he took the lead in kneeling down towards Lin Fan.

"Greetings, sir!" As soon as he knelt, Chen Fangshu, Li Qingshan, and all the wounded soldiers present who were still able to move all of a sudden knelt on the ground.

Their kneeling has nothing to do with their status, just to thank Lin Fan for everything he has been doing for Yongyang, for everyone and the people.

Xiao Yuanzhi, who heard the news, also rushed out at this time, hugged Lin Fan tightly, crying and not letting go, tears kept flowing, unwilling to let him go.

Lin Fan rubbed his head: "Yuanzhi, don't be sad. Didn't Uncle Zhou just say, you will be an adult in the future, and you have to try to learn to grow up. And the first thing a person has to learn if he wants to grow is separation. It's the same with Uncle Zhou, and it's the same with me. ”

Yuanzhi's eyes were already red and swollen from crying, but he didn't dare to stop it anymore, he gently let go of his hand and kept wiping his tears. This kid has been hit too hard today and it's hard for a kid to accept.

Lin Fan rubbed his head again, wiped away the tears on his cheeks with pity, and then prepared to turn around and leave.

Yuanzhi looked up at Lin Fan's back, his eyes full of sadness and reluctance.

At this time, someone leaned against the wall and walked into the back office step by step, and he knelt down the first time he saw Lin Fan, crying: "Young master, I'm back!" ”

Lin Fan's face showed joy, and he walked quickly to the man and helped him up. kept saying, "Coming back?" It's good to be back! ”

An Ning saw the big and small injuries on Lin Fan's body, and said tremblingly: "My lord, I'm sorry, I'm late to come back!" ”

Lin Fan comforted him: "It's not too late, it's not too late!" If you can come back before the city is broken, how can you say that it is late? ”

In any case, An Ning came back safely, which made Lin Fan let go of a big stone in his heart.

He waved his hand goodbye to everyone freely, and without further delay, under the supervision of the sergeant, he walked towards the direction of the prison.
