Qingyun County.

Located under Qingyun Mountain, but it is a prosperous mountain city, Qingyun County is surrounded by mountains, which medicinal herbs, furs are the favorite things of the rich family, every winter and autumn, there will be businessmen to buy furs, medicinal materials, but also Qingyun County is famous in the south of the Yangtze River.

Qingyun County is three feet high, there are patrols stationed, there is a military camp outside the city, it is the only military camp in the jurisdiction of Qingyun County, and it also makes Qingyun County a solid city.

On the eighth day of the first month of March, close to noon, the city gate had already been opened, and a moat four zhang wide and three zhang deep surrounded Qingyun County, like a jade belt, shining in the warm sun of early spring.

At the city gate, chariots and horses came and went, caravans and people came and went, making the two-zhang high city gate look a little narrow.

A team of ten patrol soldiers pressed the handle of the sword, wearing patrol clothes, standing at the gate of the city, patrolling the people who came and went, and if there was a slight mistake, they would come forward to interrogate, which was quite strict, and also caused a large group of people to be blocked at the city gate, noisy and shouting.

"Childe, Fu Bo, I asked clearly, but it was the county treasury that lost 10,000 taels of gold last night, and the county government was shaken, so it will be more severe than usual. Zhang He hunched his waist and stood in front of Ning Wujian and Fu Bo.

Ning Wushuang looked left and right, and when he saw the tall city wall, he couldn't help but smack his lips, Ning Bowu was carrying a lacquered mahogany box and an iron rod, and followed closely behind Ning Wujian, and beside them, there were five or six scholars with books on their backs, with a sour atmosphere.

Fu Bo bowed slightly, looked at the sternly interrogated patrolman, and touched his white beard, "No wonder, 10,000 taels of gold is not a small amount, if you lose it, the punishment from above will not be able to keep the black gauze hat." ”

"A few of you, come here......" At this time, a mighty general with his hand on the hilt of his sword looked at Ning Wuqian and a few people, and shouted.

"Where are you from, what are you doing in Qingyun County?"

Fu Bo walked over with a few people, and said with a smile: "General, I am the general manager of Zhangjia Town, and these are all students who are going to take the county exam. ”

As he spoke, Fu Bo quietly took out a piece of silver and quietly handed it to the general, "Please also ask the general to make it convenient." ”

Weighing the weight of the silver, the general's gloomy face showed a hint of a smile, "It turned out to be someone from Zhang Yuanwai, go in, if you encounter any suspicious people, please tell the government immediately, there will be a reward." ”

"Thank you, General......"

Fauber smiled, glanced at the man behind him, and walked towards the city gate.

"Wait......"

Suddenly, a grim voice came from the crowd, and immediately, I saw a Yin Owl scribe wearing a green scarf and a clean blue robe come out of it, holding a black feather fan in his hand, two rat whiskers, and a treacherous look in his eyes.

"Isn't this the old dog of Zhang Dayuan's family? Coming with a bunch of unfinished things? It's really embarrassing for you, and it's embarrassing to be in this Qingyun County. ”

The scribe spoke harshly, and looked at Fabber with hatred in his eyes, as if he had a common hatred.

Ning Wujian frowned, Zhang He stepped aside, and said in a low voice: "Childe, that person's name is Zhao Lian, he is the counselor of the county government, and the elder brother of Mrs. Zhao, twenty years ago, after Mrs. Zhao died, the Zhao family and the Zhang family turned against each other, and Zhao Lian has always been unable to get along with the Zhang family. ”

However, he had also heard of the grievances between the Zhao family and the Zhang family, and his face was gloomy and shouted: "Counselor Zhao, the city gate is not in the hands of your county counselor, and you and the Zhang family's grievances should not be brought here." ”

Zhao Lian smiled coldly, glanced at the general, swept his gaze, noticed Ning Wushuang and Ning Bowu, his eyes narrowed, his feather fan shook, and he suddenly shouted, "General Li, the thieves are those two, why don't you take it quickly?"

Hearing the word "thief", the city gate patrol suddenly gathered over, drew their swords out of their sheaths, and made a sonorous sound, and the swords were dazzling, and even the general suddenly looked at Ning Bowu and Ning Wushuang.

"Thief?" Ning Wushuang was surprised before he could react.

Fu Bo's eyes flashed with anger, he looked at Zhao Lian, and shouted angrily, "Zhao Lian, don't be embarrassed, you, the counselor, are still the master who helped you get it." They are the people of my Zhang family, I see who dares to move!"

At this time, Fu Bo was furious, like an angry tiger, and that momentum made the battle-hardened generals take two steps back, and they were secretly frightened in their hearts, such a powerful old man.

"Okay, did you hear it left and right, I'm an official, but it's sealed by the imperial court, what does it have to do with your Zhang family, if today's family surname is Li, not Zhang, could it be that the Zhang family wants to rebel? This person dares to defy the laws of the imperial court, shield criminals, and contradict the imperial court officials!

Zhao Lian's "rebellion" hat was buttoned down, which suddenly made Fu Bo's face change, he knew that the county government had always been dissatisfied with the Zhang family, and he had long wanted to get rid of it, after all, the official didn't want to see that there was a more powerful character than himself in his power.

It's just that Zhang Yuantai scattered his wealth to avoid disasters, and his name of benevolence and virtue was quite prestigious, so the county was scrupled, but if he put on a "rebellion" hat, even if it was a relative of the emperor, he would have to raid his house and destroy his family. Moreover, Fu Bo didn't know if Zhao Lian did this, whether it was the meaning of the person behind it.

Ning Bowu and Ning Wushuang are just Ning Wuji's entourage, for Fu Bo, if he can keep the Zhang family, it is nothing to hand over Ning Wujian to Lu, at most he sighs a few words.

His face was gloomy, Fu Bo's eyes flickered, staring at Zhao Lian coldly, like a vicious tiger that wanted to eat people, Zhao Lian looked at each other, without fear, his eyes were cold, like a poisonous snake, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and the feather fan shook gently.

"General Li, haven't you forgotten that the county order asked me to be responsible for tracking down the gold, but I have a transfer order in my hand, and besides, I saw what General Li just received, right? Could it be that General Li and these people are in the same group?"

The general surnamed Li's face changed again and again when he heard this, and secretly scolded Zhao Lian for being a mad dog, how to catch and bite whom, but he knew that he had to make some decisions at this time, otherwise he would be charged with "colluding with thieves", even if there were people behind him, he would not want to be involved.

"Left and right, take down all the people!" The long knife was unsheathed, and General Li was murderous, transferring all his resentment towards Zhao Lian to Fu Bo and his party.

Fauber's eyes closed, his hands were bruised, and his body trembled.

Zhang He's calves and stomach swirled, trembling, and he looked at Ning Wuji, how could he take a county test and turn it into a disaster of swords? Those few scholars who followed the Zhang family were even more pale, far away from Ning Wujian and a few people, and even worse, sat directly on the ground.

Ning Wushuang looked at the wolf-like patrols and shouted that they were wronged, but unfortunately, these patrolmen were obviously not ordinary servants, they only listened to the general's orders, and flew up, seeing that Ning Wushuang and Ning Bowu were about to be arrested, a cheer came out.

"Wait a minute......"
