Chapter XVII: Envoys of the Imperial Court
"Hey, I heard that the county guard was furious, scolded the county commander, and sent the earl's guard directly to prison, I didn't expect the county guard and the earl to have such a good relationship. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info," one of the guards said lazily.
Another guard said disdainfully: "Stupid, think about the assassination of the Earl, we actually didn't get the order to seal the city and search, the Earl was assassinated and seriously injured and was in a coma, the county guard actually sent the only guards that the Earl could mobilize to prison, what does this mean? ”
"Isn't it that the young master of the Earl's Mansion is missing, the Earl's Mansion is so chaotic, and the county guard helps punish the poor guards, it shouldn't be nothing, right? After all, the county guard and the earl are in the same year, and the county guard is not less publicized everywhere. The guard said, confused.
"Cut, don't forget that the county guard is the viscount, and the earl is the earl! Anyway, I think the county guard has a deep malice towards the Earl's Palace, not only did he not send someone to find the young master of the Earl's Palace, but he also did not order the city to be closed and hunted for assassins, you look at it, when the envoy of the imperial court arrives, the county guard will definitely have a problem!"
"It's not as mysterious as you say, is it? Since you can see that if the county guard really wants to have a problem, he won't know how to cover it up? Where can he be so arrogant? There must be a problem here!"
"Who knows, the water in here is very deep, and it is not something that we little deflated people can understand. ”
The two city gate guards were so public that they criticized the county guard and the earl, and they didn't hide it in the slightest, but not only did the two of them not care, but the various people who entered and exited the city gate didn't care, and even they took the opportunity to discuss with each other.
The Empire stipulates that no one shall be guilty of speech. But the rules stipulate that when you encounter a hot-tempered monk, you will directly destroy the city.
Although such monks will definitely be hunted down by the imperial court, because of their existence, the officials and people of the world do not dare to get involved in the affairs of the monks at all, but they dare to say the gossip of officials, nobles and even members of the royal family.
At this moment, a cavalryman with a flag on his back rushed to the city gate from the official road, whipped his mount wildly with a whip, and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way!"
"Damn, it's a herald rider, hurry, if you don't want to die, get out of the way!" As soon as the city gate guard saw the cavalry appear, he hurriedly scolded those who entered and exited the city gate.
The people at the city gate were very knowledgeable, and before the city gate guards could speak, they dodged to both sides.
The cavalry rumbled into the city gate without stopping, and the young city gate guard covered the dust for a while, and then spat out: "Phew!
"Okay, hurry over and stand at your post, the heralds are coming, and the envoys of the imperial court are definitely about to arrive. A slightly older city gatekeeper said angrily.
The guard walked towards the opposite side, and muttered as he looked towards the side of the road: "Sure enough, a large number of cavalry have come in the distance to escort a carriage, hey, doesn't it mean that the envoys of the imperial court are all flying in birds or imperial swords? And they will all be accompanied by Caixia, how can they come in a carriage like ordinary people?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Those who wield birds or swords are called angels! When they come, all the officials and citizens have to go out of the city ten miles in advance to bow down to greet them! And now it is the messenger who comes, and there are not so many awesomes! Don't you see that the county guard and the county order all these adults are coming at this time?!" Some of the older guards roared angrily.
The guard looked back into the city, and sure enough, the officials had already begun to clear the streets, and a group of fully armed city guards also ran over, and at the end there was a crowd of people in official uniforms. He stuck out his tongue, held his spear in his hand, and stood tall as a statue with a majestic appearance.
On the official road not far from the county seat of Zuofeng, dozens of cavalry escorted a slightly luxurious two-horse carriage slowly, and the imperial flag fluttered in the wind above the carriage.
As long as you are not an idiot, when you see this flag, you will dodge to the side.
This is a messenger sent by the imperial court, different from those angels who are high above, when they come, they are either rewarded by heaven and receive people to ascend to heaven in one step, or they are the great sin of extermination, and the reception person falls into hell in one step, without other exceptions.
And this kind of messenger in a carriage is a temporary position held by other officials, and without expressing their intentions, they do not know what they are here for, and the receptionist can also use various means to obtain results that are in his own interests.
Therefore, some people who think they have deep roots and are capable do not pay much attention to the messengers.
Everyone understands this, so the cavalry of the escort is a little lazy, and the chauffeur is very casual.
In the carriage, a middle-aged man with a white face and beard who looked like a wealthy gentleman was smiling and holding a small teapot, sucking from time to time.
And the young man who looked like a small guy on the side, while fanning the rich gentry, muttered indignantly with a sharp voice: "My lord, this person from Longshi County is too much, you are ......"
"Hey, our family is now a court envoy, who came to visit Zhang Ranfeng, the uncle of Zhenjun, how they entertain it has nothing to do with our family. The middle-aged man waved his hand and said in a hearty tone.
"Hey, my lord, it's not that the slave and maid talk too much, Uncle Zhenjun was assassinated, the court was angry, and the military was also angry, but why is it that whether it is the Earl's Mansion of Zhenjun or Longshi County, the matter of the assassin is vague in the past......? The little boy, while playing a fan, leaned forward a little and asked in a low voice.
"Xiao Dezi, you kid is really well-informed, Earl Zhenjun's cultivation place is so far away from Tianjing, you can still get the news in time. The white-faced middle-aged man looked at the little guy with a smile and said.
"Hehe, don't you have a lot of support from your lords?" Xiao Dezi did not panic, but said with a little coquettishness.
"Tell me what's going on, and let us see how well you control the department assigned to you. The middle-aged man said indifferently.
Xiao Dezi's face immediately tenseed, and he answered seriously, and after a little contemplation, he said: "The slave maid thinks that the assassin who assassinated Uncle Zhenjun was the work of the remnants of the shadow behind the deceased Countess of Count Zhang, and we all know what happened back then, so the insider didn't bother to hunt down the assassin at all." ”
"Well, what about the relationship between the disappearance of Zhenjunbo's son?" the middle-aged man continued to ask without commenting, sucking on his tea.
