In fact, the military preparation road yamen is not far from the thousand households, a few steps away, Liu Chengfeng and Wang Tao with a team of lieutenants went out, in a blink of an eye to the military preparation road yamen, the military preparation road yamen saw it, immediately went in to report, must be a moment of hard work, headed by Huang Zhen, dozens of Beitongzhou officials came out together.

Huang Zhen was born quite obese, but his complexion was a little dark, and he looked shrewd and capable.

As a Messenger! It is a sure thing to end the shelf, Liu Chengfeng is a military attache of the fifth grade, while Huang Zhen is a member of the third grade, and his status is very different, even if he invites Liu Chengfeng to the banquet, it is impossible to be respectful.

Liu Chengfeng understood, waved his hands at Huang Zhen, and said, "My lord, it's too late to be humble." ”

Huang Zhen put down the shelf, smiled, and said enthusiastically: "It's not late, it's not late." After that, the officials of Beitong Prefecture introduced Liu Chengfeng, and Liu Chengfeng was a little disappointed that Wang Deli, the eunuch guarding the town, did not come.

In addition, one of the four counties under the jurisdiction of Beitong Prefecture did not come, but the local county came, and when the county came to recommend himself, Huang Zhen's face was obviously not very good.

Although Huang Zhen is a soldier, and the boss of these county orders is the prefect of Beitong Prefecture, but he treats himself, and the eunuchs don't come, after all, they are people in the palace, and everyone is not subordinate to each other, so it depends on the interest of others. But it was a county order, and he had a treat, but he hadn't come so far, and Huang Zhen's face was naturally not good-looking.

He asked the county lightly and said, "Isn't Wuqing County very busy with official business?" ”

The county man was a little nervous, and said, "Not busy, not busy......"

Huang Zhen's face became even darker, and he said, "Since that's the case, then why didn't Zheng County Order come?" ”

The county Cheng's face was pale, but he didn't fall into the well to Zheng County's order, and said in fear: "Early this morning, I said that I was coming, and I specially called someone to let the lower officials come to the city together. ”

Huang Zhen snorted coldly, didn't say anything more, changed his smile at Liu Chengfeng, and said, "Let Liu Qianhu smile." ”

Everyone entered the military preparation road yamen together, the military preparation road yamen does not look magnificent, the flower hall in the backyard has been set up tables and chairs, four or five large tables, dozens of seats, Liu Chengfeng and Huang Zhen sit in the chairman's seat, Zhou Tai, the governor of Beitong Prefecture, is accompanied by Liu Chengfeng's next position, and the rest of the county orders of the three counties, everyone sits down, but is not in a hurry to eat wine and food, in this silent hall, Huang Zhen and Liu Chengfeng began to greet each other.

"Liu Qianhu is from Beijing, are you used to living in Beitongzhou? The official knows that something has happened to Qianhu recently, and he is on the cusp of this storm, Liu Qianhu should be careful, if there is a place where he has a companion to help, he just say hello. ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled and thanked him. Huang Zhen waved his hand solemnly and said, "What is this?" Since everyone is an official in Beitongzhou, Liu Qianhu came to Beitongzhou this time, how could the old man be indifferent? Beitong Prefecture is not peaceful, and I, the procurator, also have a great responsibility. ”

After Huang Zhen finished speaking, Liu Chengfeng raised the cup to toast Huang Zhen, Huang Zhen picked up the cup and took a sip gently, stopped after tasting it, and said: "There is a disease in this palace, you can't drink more of this wine, don't blame Liu Qianhu." ”

Huang shook the cup, and the officials in the flower hall began to drink one after another, and the previous silence was suddenly broken, and it became more lively.

Zhou Tai, the prefect who was sitting opposite Liu Chengfeng, also drank a glass of wine, and said to Liu Chengfeng with a smile: "According to the envoy, I have been worried about labor for Beitongzhou in the past few years, and my health has become worse and worse, for example, I almost fainted in the Yamen of the Bingbei Road some time ago, and after four or five days of recuperation, my body has improved. ”

When Zhou Tai said this, Huang Zhen's face seemed a little cold, as if he blamed Zhou Tai for being too talkative, but Liu Chengfeng was a little interested in this matter, and said, "Oh? Fainting? Liu Chengfeng has a little medical skills, if the inspector is not suspicious, can he tell me about the condition? ”

Zhou Taidao: "The condition is nothing, it was fine a few days ago, but on that day, his face was very pale, and he fainted all of a sudden." ”

"Suddenly pale?" Liu Chengfeng was stunned for a moment.

Huang Zhen coughed and said lightly: "Governor Zhou, do you have more words?" ”

Zhou Tai smiled and didn't say anything more.

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but glance at Huang Zhen strangely, only to see Huang Zhen's face ruddy, speaking of which, there are many symptoms of fainting, but it should never happen to people like Huang Zhen, fainting is mostly caused by anemia or low blood pressure, but where does Huang Zhen's face look like anemia now? Unless...... He had lost a lot of blood, but ......

Liu Chengfeng smiled lightly, feeling that he was too careful, who is Huang Zhen? How can a dignified member of the court lose too much blood?

The topic naturally turned elsewhere, Huang Zhen said some of the customs of Beitongzhou, in fact, Beitongzhou is only a few steps away from Gyeonggi, what kind of customs and customs, in fact, there is not much difference from Jingshi, Liu Chengfeng felt that Huang Zhen seemed to be deliberately hiding something, deliberately looking for a topic, and diverted his attention.

He is not a fool, of course, he no longer asks the roots, so he deliberately shows that he is very interested in the customs of Beitongzhou.

After three rounds of drinking, the conversation gradually became hot, and Zhou Tai, the prefect of Beitong Prefecture, was a little booed in his heart because he had been put down by Huang Zhen before, so he said some jokes harder, which made everyone laugh.

As he was talking, a small official hurriedly came in, looked shocked, and said, "Your Excellency...... Adults ......".

This sudden sound caused the flower hall to be quiet again, Huang Zhen's face was calm, and he asked lightly: "What are you doing so roughly, what happened?" ”

The little official didn't have time to salute, so he said bluntly: "Something happened...... News has just come from Wuqing County, saying that Wuqing County ordered Zheng Sheng to be stabbed and die in his house. ”

"Ah......h

There were immediately bursts of panicked surprise in the flower hall, originally the assassination was limited to Jinyiwei and Dongchang, but now even the Wuqing County Commander was assassinated, which means that those chaotic parties have targeted the prefect and the county yamen. Everyone's life safety is not guaranteed.

Wuqing County Cheng was even more shocked, and said with a crying voice: "What's the matter...... What's the matter, it's fine early this morning, how ......"

Not only him, but even Zhou Tai, the prefect of Beitong Prefecture, was also surprised, and his spirit did not belong.

Huang Zhen's face flashed with surprise, but this surprise passed by, and then he seemed calm and relaxed, and said slowly: "Tell me clearly, how did you die?" ”

The little official said: "Early in the morning, the county commander Zheng Sheng still instructed in the house, asked someone to prepare a sedan chair, said that he was going to enter the city, and asked someone to go to the county to say hello and invite the county lord to go with him." The people in the house are ready, but waiting left and right, Zheng County's order still hasn't come out of the room, and the people outside have urged it several times, and they all feel strange, this time Zheng County's order came to Fucheng, but according to the invitation of the inspector, why is it that now, he is still delaying? So a steward knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside, and finally the lady went to open the door herself, only to find that Wuqing County Ling had died on his couch, and his chest was pierced with a dagger. ”

Everyone took a deep breath again, and the county magistrate of Wuqing County died in the internal government, which is tantamount to saying that the chaotic party wants to kill people, and it is simply impossible to prevent it.

Liu Chengfeng's brows couldn't help but twist deeply, he thought that Mingjiao Yu Ji's next target should be himself, but who knew that this time it was actually a county order that died.

What does the death of this county order have to do with the chaotic party?

Liu Chengfeng raised his eyes and glanced at Huang Zhen, who looked at him at the same time.

The eyes of the two looked at each other, and they both understood each other's thoughts.

Liu Chengfeng's eyes were to ask Huang Zhen, the death of the county order in Wuqing County should be investigated by Bingbeidao, but this matter is very likely to involve the chaotic party, so as a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, Liu Chengfeng naturally has to ask, Liu Chengfeng wants to ask Huang Zhen, whether this matter is Bingbeidao or Jinyiwei.

And Huang Zhen's eyes were a little displeased, and he seemed to be a little disgusted by Liu Chengfeng's desire to interfere in Zheng Sheng's case.

After all, Zheng Sheng was under the head of Bingbeidao, and there was such a murder, whether it involved the chaotic party or not is unknown, Jinyiwei was so anxious to intervene, it was really a bit of a refutation of Bingbeidao's face.

Immediately, Huang Zhen said lightly: "Liu Qianhu, this matter has a lot to do with it, it is very likely that it was done by the chaotic party, it is better to do this, this matter will be investigated by the prefect's yamen and the ten households, how about it?" ”

This is a compromise solution, Liu Chengfeng nodded and said, "I am willing to obey the dispatch of my lord." ”

A wine banquet broke up unhappily, and although everyone remained at home, there was a bit of panic in their eyes.

Huang Zhen sent Liu Chengfeng and others out, and when he returned to the yamen from Zhongmen, his face was very unsightly, and he called a scribe and said in a vicious voice: "This Liu Chengfeng, Kouheng hums...... will really climb up the pole, the official is just polite with him, ask him to help investigate, he really agreed, people who don't know are still my soldiers, no one has to rely on him for everything. ”

The scribe did not dare to come out, in fact, it was simple, a county order died, the court must ask about it, no matter what, you have to let the soldiers prepare for the road to let the prefect yamen check it, if it is found to be related to the rebellious party, there is no problem in directly transferring the case to the thousand households. But now that the case has not yet been decided, Jinyiwei can't wait to intervene, and when the court asks, won't he be regarded as incompetent?

Huang Zhen squinted, then smiled faintly, and said: "Since Liu Chengfeng is so anxious, then the official simply gives him some color to see, go, notify the East Factory, and explain the case to the East Factory as soon as possible, wait and see, the East Factory will not be indifferent." ”

The scribe nodded in response, "Yes." ”
