On the way back to the county office, Guan Xinrui set up two catches and went to a gambling house in the city after a short detour.

The person at the door of the gambling house was obviously very eye-catching, as soon as he saw Guan Xinrui coming, the highest of them immediately stepped forward, but when he saw the other party's sweeping eyes, he didn't shout out the name in his mouth, just smiled and saluted, and asked in a low voice.

"My lord, why are you here today, do you want to play two or not"

It's amazing that the county lord is so close, and I've never seen the county lord come to play, and the person who speaks is careful with his words.

Of course, Guan Xinrui is not here to gamble, unless it is to enjoy the thrill of winning, otherwise he needs to gamble if he wants money?

Hearing the words of the gatekeeper of the gambling house, Guan Xinrui didn't say a word, and walked directly to the alley on the side, when the gatekeeper was stunned and frowned and thought, he saw that Guan Xinrui looked back at him, and immediately hurriedly followed.

When he arrived in the alley, Guan Xinrui looked at the front and back of no one, then beckoned, and the people who followed immediately came closer.

"Let your rulers come to me."

"Alas, the villain knows!"

Guan Xinrui nodded, and left by himself after speaking, but his steps were not fast.

After walking for less than half a cup of tea, on the street in the middle of the county in the evening, a well-dressed man seemed to meet Guan Xinrui by chance, saluted him, and accompanied him for a while.

And the person who came here turned out to be the one who had infiltrated the county government several times before, and he was Chai Wang, who created the inn murder in the first place, but the murder of the inn at the beginning really had nothing to do with Guan Xinrui.

In this kind of downtown street, at sunset and dusk, the two seem to be chatting and walking normally.

After a few words of greeting, the man invited Guan Xinrui to go to the tea shop for a few words, and the latter readily agreed.

After the two of them sat down in the tea shop, the store served tea and snacks, and Chai Wang nodded to confirm, Guan Xinrui began to talk about his business in a low voice.

When he heard that Guan Xinrui briefly talked about the county government, Chai Wang couldn't help but ask.

"My lord, is the haunting of the county government true or fake?"

Chai Wang didn't mention that he had encountered a monster at all, but he had also seen the ghosts of the county government.

He even wondered if he had opened some yin and yang eyes, and he saw ghosts and demons, but fortunately, everything seemed to be normal recently, but Chai Wang was also very curious about the affairs of the county government.

It's just that the things that have been passed around are too exaggerated, even more exaggerated than Chai Wang's own suspected encounter with a monster, at least it sounds like that.

But for this question, Guan Xinrui just glanced at Chai Wang.

"Although there are indeed strange things, most of them are just false rumors, but this time my matter is more tricky"

Guan Xinrui didn't want Chai Wang to know too many details, so he directly opened the topic.

"My lord, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Guan Xinrui looked left and right at the moment, and then lowered his voice and said.

"Remember how many times I asked you to go to the mouth of the Great River?"

Chai Wang's eyes flashed slightly, he had already remembered the events of the year before last, and nodded slightly and whispered.

"Ding Fengjun?"

Guan Xinrui narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.

"Yes, that's it, but something might have gone awry. It is likely that Zhong Xingwen of the county government went to the mouth of the big river."

"What is he doing at the mouth of the Great River?"

Guan Xinrui shook his head slightly.

"It doesn't matter what he does at the mouth of the river, what he can't do there is the most important thing!"

Chai Wang nodded slightly.

"But what's the scruples?"

Guan Xinrui shook his head, and Chai Wang showed a smile on his face, arching his hand and preparing to get up.

"Wait!"

Guan Xinrui stopped Chai Wang, and said another word of advice at the moment when the other party was puzzled.

"It's better to go there and deal with it first, if it really doesn't work."

Guan Xinrui made a gesture with a knife in his hand, and then continued.

"Zhong Xingwen is the head of my county, his martial arts are good, although he is injured, he can't be underestimated, you have to be careful! After the deed is done."

"Hehehehe"

Chai Wang laughed in a low voice without waiting for Guan Xinrui to finish speaking, and there was a bit of sarcasm in the laughter.

"Don't worry, Chai, you will pay attention, but please know, Zhong Xingwen's fists and feet, not to mention injuries, even if they are alive, they will not enter the stream, and they will leave!"

Getting up and taking a few steps, Chai Wang looked back at Guan Xinrui who was sitting there.

"After the thing is done, we will talk about it after it is done!"

Chai Wang is not the down-and-out Jianghu guest who once fled, what he longs for now is not only gold and silver and temporary stability, he knows that Guan Xinrui has been to the county town, and he also knows that this Haiyu County Commander is a character, a character who can soar.

Guan Xinrui looked at Chai Wang's departing figure, just sitting there without moving, he was not annoyed by Chai Wang's actions when he left, on the contrary, he showed a little smile.

After all, if he didn't have that ability, how could Chai Wang be like this.

Besides, he was already shallowly provoking him, how could he be angry?

This kind of recklessness thinks he has a bit of intelligence, but in fact he is just a fool, but he can really use it many times!

As for whether Zhong Xingwen really went to visit the old-timers to learn skills, he didn't go to the mouth of the river at all?

Of course, there is such a possibility, but Guan Xinrui did not disclose the slightest hint to Chai Wang.

If you can't find it for a while, Chai Wang will definitely find it more carefully in the nervousness, if it is a misunderstanding in the end, it is a misunderstanding, naturally it is better, as for Chai Wang, he also has his own way to round the past.

After doing this, Guan Xinrui also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The human matter was solved, but the ghost matter was still a little worried, and Guan Xinrui wanted to visit that Xue Daoren again.

Guan Xinrui sat in the tea shop while drinking tea and eating snacks, his eyes were full of thought, and he didn't realize what happened when he saw the Taoist for the first time that day, thinking that he was a god stick liar.

I didn't expect it to be really capable.

Such a master is rare to see, and now he has just dedicated the dragon scales to King Xin, if the results are outstanding this time, it will please both King Xin and Shengshang, and his ambitions in the future will not be limited to the small Haiyu County.

And such a high person will certainly be of great use.

There is another point, Guan Xinrui is not willing to admit it in his heart, that is, he has done too much bad things and is panicked!

Guan Xinrui sat in the tea shop for half an hour, seemed to be thinking about a lot of things, and waited until the sky was getting darker, and the tea shop was about to make proofs before checking out and leaving.

After Guan Xinrui left, a man in a green shirt and long hair in the corner of the tea house looked at his back.

This man has an extraordinary bearing and a handsome face, but such an outstanding man, Guan Xinrui and Chai Wang just now didn't notice it at all.

Perhaps only the old shopkeeper in the shop still noticed this person, and he also walked over while wiping his hands at this moment.

"Guest officer, it's getting dark, we're going to close too, you see"

The man smiled and looked up.

"Okay, let's settle the bill, by the way, the rice cakes in your store taste very good, pack half a catty for me!"

"Hey, that's okay!"

The man nodded, took the rice cake wrapped in dried lotus leaves, and walked out of the shop after settling the account.

Yunlai looked into the distance on the street at this moment, Guan Xinrui had already walked away but could still see clearly.

This person is really smart, extremely sinister and vicious, I don't know why, it makes Yunlai think of Chu Hang.

It can be said that they are all outstanding people who have entered the officialdom, and Chu Hang's intelligence and talent are gradually revealed, and they are also very purposeful, but the purpose is to do their best for the country and the people.

And Guan Xinrui is already intelligent, but he is a bad embryo at all!

Maybe Guan Xinrui also had ideals and ambitions in the past, but now it is obviously gone, this kind of person may really be able to sit in a high position in Daegu, but it is definitely a disaster for the people of Li! ——

Although Chai Wang didn't take Zhong Xingwen's martial arts seriously, he still cared very much about what Guan Xinrui said.

Other things such as dragon scales and strange dreams and gambling houses were temporarily suppressed, and Chai Wang packed up and left Haiyu County that day.

There are many ways to go to Dingfeng County in Dahekou, even if there is only one road, it is difficult to say that you can intercept a person on the road, but since you know the real purpose of the other party, it is easy to do, after all, you have to go to that place!

It's not so much catching up, it's better to say that Zhong Xingwen and Chai Wangdu are just in a hurry.

Zhong Xingwen set off a few days early, but even if he knew a relatively specific address, he still needed to find his way from time to time.

Chai Wangwan set off a few days late, but he went to a place he had already been, and he was familiar with the road, coupled with outstanding martial arts, even if he was in a hurry, he might not have Zhong Xingwen's hard work, but the process was extremely fast.

This is a mutually invisible chase race, Chai Wang knows about Zhong Xingwen, and the latter does not know about the existence of the former.

But maybe it's a sense of responsibility and justice, maybe it's the fear of hesitation and fear that makes him retreat, or maybe it's something else, Zhong Xingwen has always had a sense of urgency since he set off.

This sense of urgency prompted Zhong Xingwen to hurry up at any time along the way, not daring to rest for a while, and many times he just slept in the carriage and boat, and even stayed in the inn if he could.

From Haiyu County, Beihai County, to Dingfeng County, Dahekou, it is a journey of almost 2,000 miles, and Zhong Xingwen doesn't know how many people have missed the road.

But the wind and food, sleeping day and night, make up for some of the wrong roads and detours and wasted time.

"Bang la blah"

Amid the sound of the water, which became slightly turbulent, the boatman on a small boat patted the shed of the boat with his hand.

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Guest officer, the mouth of the river has arrived!"

Zhong Xingwen, who had been sleeping in clothes, opened his eyes almost immediately, sat up directly from the cabin, and then walked out of the cabin to the bow of the ship.

"It's ahead, Ding Fengjun is going west from the mouth of the river to the road."

In Zhong Xingwen's eyes, there was the outline of a pier in the distance, and it was not yet dawn at the moment, and many lanterns were lit on the pier.

"Woohoo. Woohoo"

A cool breeze blew, and Zhong Xingwen, who had just woken up, couldn't help but shiver from the cold.

But it's all worth it, even if I'm wrong!
