Chapter 978: Full Assistance

After finishing speaking, Wang Cheng also turned around and walked quickly to the outside of the door.

Seeing this, the county lord of the neighboring county also looked stunned, and quickly chased forward, grabbed Wang Cheng's shoulder, and then said:

"Wang Gongzi, you say, how do you want to let go of this official this time! I'll give you as much silver as you want, as long as you let go of this official this time, don't speak ill of me in front of Lord Shangshu. ”

Wang Cheng also grabbed the hand of the county lord of the neighboring county who was on his shoulder, and then broke it open, and said seriously:

"My lord, I don't lack money, I may not be able to understand your kindness, let me tell you the truth, although I am not an official in the court, but the power given to me by Lord Shangshu is no less than your official position, so if you know each other, quickly tell the truth, otherwise, I will arrest you and correct the law on the spot, and no one dares to stop you."

The county magistrate of this neighboring county also choked up, and when he saw that Wang Cheng was also not good, he didn't dare to hide the truth anymore.

Stunned, the county lord of the neighboring county also sighed, and then also said to this Wang Cheng:

"Prince Wang, please calm your anger, it's all the official's fault, and he shouldn't hide it from you, but the official is also afraid of being questioned by Lord Shangshu! I'll tell you now. ”

Wang Cheng heard that the county lord of the neighboring county said that he wanted to tell himself the truth, he also turned around slowly, and also looked at the county lord of the neighboring county and continued to ask:

"Oh! Then tell me quickly, where are the group of fugitives who fled from Kyoto City to the neighboring prefecture now? Have you already let them out of the city? ”

The county lord of the neighboring county also said with a tangled face:

"Wang Gongzi misunderstood this official! Even if you give this official a hundred guts, I won't dare to release all the fugitives out of the city!" ”

Wang Cheng also said impatiently:

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up?"

The county magistrate of the neighboring county also immediately told the truth and said:

"Wang Gongzi, the truth is like this, last night in the middle of the night, suddenly from the gate of our neighboring county into the city to kill a group of black-clothed people, these black-clothed people are also strong in martial arts, and the guards under this official are simply not able to defeat them, therefore, they were not able to capture their group smoothly!"

Wang Cheng was also surprised, full of incredulity, and said in surprise:

"What! In the middle of the night last night, a large number of black-clothed men suddenly rushed into the gate of the neighboring county, and your guards failed to catch them! ”

The county lord of the neighboring county also nodded and said:

"Yes, Wang Gongzi, this official has also mobilized more than 1,000 guards under him, and he is simply no match for those black-clothed people with strong martial arts, and even this official has sent dozens of guards in my house to support, just to capture all the black-clothed people who are likely to be fugitives who are likely to be captured by Lord Shangshu at all costs, but there is really no way, and the guards under him are simply invincible. In the end, I could only watch the group of black-clothed people escape from the city of our neighboring county, and then, the official also sent his guards to chase after them, but they all took carriages and ran too fast, and after they all left the city gate, they all disappeared. ”

After Wang Cheng heard the truth from the county lord of the neighboring county, he couldn't help choking up, and said with excitement on his face:

"How unreasonable! Your former guards couldn't even deal with these dozens of black-clothed people, what a bunch of useless things! ”

The county lord of the neighboring county also said with a tangled face:

"Wang Gongzi doesn't know anything! Those black-clothed people are all extremely powerful in martial arts! Didn't you say that you had led the guards to hunt them down before, and there was nothing you could do with them! There is no way for a powerful character like Wang Gongzi to take them, and the guards under this official are naturally invincible! ”

Wang Cheng couldn't help but look at Tie Qingdao:

"All of them have escaped from the county seat of the neighboring county, how good is this! If they escaped from the neighboring county, they don't know where they fled, and if Lord Shangshu blames them, we will all be finished! ”

The county lord of the neighboring county also said with a tangled and excited face:

"Prince Wang, the relationship between you and Lord Shangshu must be extraordinary! There is still a family in the lower officials, you must say good things in front of Lord Shangshu for this official! This officer will definitely remember your great kindness. ”

Wang Cheng also smiled bitterly a few times, and said slowly:

"Since this line of fugitives escaped from the neighboring county, then Lord Shangshu will definitely blame him, I am now unable to protect myself, how can I have the heart to say more good things for you! Ask for your blessings now! I will continue to lead my guards out of the city to hunt down the fugitives who have escaped, and I will definitely atone for my sins. ”

The county lord of the neighboring county also immediately took out an ingot of gold from his body, and then handed it to Wang Cheng, and said with a serious face:

"Wang Gongzi, this is a little bit of caution from the official, please be sure to accept it, after returning to Kyoto City in the future, you will say a lot of good things for the official in front of Lord Shangshu, and please smile."

Wang Cheng also looked at the ingot of gold in the hands of the county lord of the neighboring county, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "Yo! Adults can take out this ingot of gold at will, presumably you are doing the county order in this neighboring county, and you have not scavenged the people's fat and people's ointment! ”

The county lord of the neighboring county also said with a tangled face:

"Wang Gongzi's words are to torture the official, although the official has been an official in this neighboring county for many years, but the official has always acted in accordance with the instructions of the imperial court, where dare to go too much to loot the people's fat and people's ointment!"

Wang Cheng also slowly stretched out his hand to take the ingot of gold from the county lord of the neighboring county, and then said:

"Okay, since you are so generous, then I will go back to Kyoto City in the future, and it will be very difficult for Lord Shangshu not to say good things for you! Your Excellency, please rest assured, Lord Shangshu, I will find a way to exonerate the crime this time, but I am going to go out of the city now to continue to pursue that line of fugitives, you have to send me some more guards, I am going to divide into several ways to hunt down that line of fugitives, and I must capture all of them back to Kyoto City and hand them over to Lord Shangshu. ”

The county magistrate of the neighboring county also nodded, his frowning brows also stretched, and he said seriously:

"This is naturally to listen to the arrangement of Wang Gongzi, and this official will order to gather his guards, as long as the official can be mobilized, he must be handed over to Wang Gongzi to take to hunt down the key criminals of that line, and strive to atone for his crimes, and help Wang Gongzi smoothly arrest all the key criminals who escaped and return to Kyoto City."

Wang Cheng also put the gold in his hand on his body, nodded and said:

"Alright, my lord, hurry up and gather his guards, without further ado, I have to hunt down the fleeing group of fugitives as soon as possible."

The county magistrates of the neighboring county did not dare to slack off, and immediately shouted outside the door:

"Someone's coming!"

One of the guards quickly walked into the room.

After entering this room, the county lord of the neighboring county also ordered to the guards under him:

"You hurry up and gather all the guards of the county government to come and assemble them at the gate of the mansion, quickly!"

The guard also clenched his fists and said:

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will go."

When he had finished speaking, the guard also turned around and walked out of the room quickly.

The county lord of the neighboring county also looked at Wang Gongzi and said with a serious face:

"Wang Gongzi, look, what else do you have to order, as long as the official can help, he must do his best."

Wang Cheng was also stunned, and said casually:

"No, you just need to send a few more guards to help me."

The county lord of the neighboring county also nodded and echoed:

"That's certain, please wait a while, the guards will be gathered soon to come outside the gate of the mansion."

Wang Cheng also choked up, and then walked outside the door.

The county lord of the neighboring county also hurriedly said:

"Wang Gongzi, you must be hungry all the way to the neighboring county, this official will let the subordinates prepare some good wine and food for you, you can eat and drink and then go to hunt down the fugitives!"

Wang Cheng also put down a sentence and said:

"No, I haven't been in the mood to eat or drink without catching the escaped criminals."

The county lord of the neighboring county also immediately followed Wang Cheng out of the door and continued:

"In that case, the official sent the prince to the outside of the mansion."

In this way, Wang Cheng and the county lords of the neighboring county walked together in the direction of the outside of the gate of this mansion.

Soon, both of them also walked out of the mansion of the county lord in the neighboring county.

After leaving the gate of this mansion, the county lord of the neighboring county saw that there were also a large number of guards on horseback at the gate of this mansion, and he also knew that these guards were brought by Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng also saw that from time to time a large number of guards were running outside the gate of the county lord of this neighboring county, and began to assemble.

Wang Cheng also frowned, with a solemn expression.

The county lords of the neighboring counties also stood by Wang Cheng's side, quietly waiting for his guards to gather outside the gate of this mansion.

The guards who could be assembled under the county lords of this neighboring county were also quickly all assembled outside his mansion gate.

Wang Cheng saw that all the guards who came to assemble had been assembled, and he also looked at it, and estimated that the number of guards assembled under the county lords of this neighboring county was only two or three hundred at most.

Wang Cheng also looked at the county lord of the neighboring county and asked:

"Is that all there is to the guard?"

The county lord of this neighboring county also looked at the guards gathered under his subordinates, and he also suddenly looked embarrassed, and said to Wang Cheng:

"Wang Gongzi, to tell you the truth, after fighting with that group of black-clothed men last night, the guards under this official also suffered heavy losses! There weren't many guards in the first place, plus the guards who were killed and wounded last night, and now there are only so many that can be mobilized. ”

Wang Cheng also choked up, sighed, and said:

"Forget it, since that's the case, then I won't embarrass you, I'll take my guards out of the city to hunt down the fleeing fugitives."
