One Curtain Wind Moon Nine Heavens

Chapter 306

People can't bear to talk about it, and when Luo Yan came back to report, seeing her speechless appearance, she guessed that it was the old acquaintance who was poisoned.

The strange thing is that the magistrate of Nanzhou was lying in the forest waiting to die in night clothes.

I have heard a saying that three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflake silver.According to previous records, he is upright and honest, he won't be a thief if he can't bear it?

"It's really destined!" Yuan Zhao squatted beside the man to look it over, and asked Luo Yan softly, "What kind of poison is it? Can it be saved?"

"Yes, when you were a child, it was much more difficult than him. Years have passed, and the poison is still the same poison, and it has not improved." Luo Yan complained, took out a few medicine powders from his pocket, and skillfully mixed them to prepare the antidote on the spot.

When coming to Nanzhou, all kinds of medicinal powders are indispensable, and the soldiers who stayed at the farm even learned the identification of medicinal herbs from Luo Yan, which delayed their return to Beijing.

The masked county magistrate probably only cared about how to deal with interpersonal relationships, and didn't know much about poisons.Among them was a poison that Yuan Zhao encountered the last time when he was a child, and the home of the local Orion had its antidote.

Of course, people in the city don't understand the customs of the country, and people in the country don't understand the convenience of the city, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Seeing that he took the medicine, his eyelids trembled, and he was about to wake up.With those two male guards around, it was inconvenient for Yuan Zhao to have any interaction with each other.He ordered Luo Yan to leave some antidote for him, and they left before the other party woke up.

"Your Highness, don't you want to report to the official?" A male guard was puzzled.

"He is an official. I met him in Beijing. He is upright and upright. He was released as an official by the emperor's order." She was originally relegated, but she ambiguously said that he was the emperor's confidant who was ordered to go to the countryside to investigate unannounced. Intervene."

These two bodyguards are the eyes and ears of the emperor. It is not easy to be promoted from the personal soldiers of the Shaoyang camp to the personal guards based on their strength.It's rare for her to leave the capital, and she only takes her confidants with her, which means that she knows who the emperor's eyes and ears are, which is not good.

She won the emperor's trust not only because of her military skills, but also because of her ability to judge people's hearts.

As the emperor's confidants, they dared to report her every word and deed to the emperor.But they never dared to let the emperor know that they accidentally discovered the strange behavior of another person who was suspected of being the emperor's confidant among the people.

Knowing too much is easy to be short-lived, and the two of them are already the target person's confidantes.

When the emperor ordered her to be overthrown, as confidantes, they naturally made a great contribution and had a bright future.Before that, any side details can be ignored, lest all previous efforts be wasted.

Perhaps, when she collapses, it's not too late to bring up the old story again...

During this trip, there were less than a hundred soldiers and guards in total.

In the afternoon of that day, Yuan Zhao returned to Beijing with a dozen guards, and the rest stayed at the farm.It was a rare trip to Nanzhou, she didn't visit relatives and friends, and the two Ayunniang who used to serve her at the general's mansion were no longer in Nanzhou.

He was transferred to another place by Uncle Ji Wu.

On the way, when staying overnight at the posthouse, Luo Yan sent Yuan Zhao the current situation of the county magistrate.

It turned out that he was the daughter of a nobleman who was forced to marry.

However, that woman is really virtuous and never dislikes his relegated status.Seeing that he was treated coldly everywhere, and his official duties were blocked, which delayed many plans to benefit the people.They asked him whether he was dedicated to the people, or for the reputation of incorruptibility.

For the latter, there is no need to bother, and it can be achieved by continuing to act according to his character.If it is for the former, he must join forces with others to achieve the goal of making a living for the people.

As for the money obtained from corruption, whenever natural disasters and man-made disasters occur, the imperial court's disaster relief funds can reach less than one-tenth of Nanzhou's.He took out the greedy money for disaster relief, and set up another account book to record it in detail.

Over the years, in Nanzhou, he got to know many knight-errants and called them brothers and sisters.

During the disaster relief, they rely on them to pretend to be night walkers who rob the rich and give to the poor outside, and give money to the victims of the disaster everywhere.The reason for the discord with the father-in-law is that he has been "greedy" so much that he has never been willing to give money to the father-in-law's family.

Even if it was the old man's birthday, the birthday gift he gave was very ordinary, which made the old man very embarrassed and felt that he was stingy.

He is stingy, and he is reluctant to waste money on valuables that are useless.If he was tempted by his colleagues, he said with a smile that he didn't know how long he would be an official, so he had to save for the future.

The old father-in-law was even angrier when he heard that, every time his daughter went home to visit her parents, she would always be scolded and ridiculed by her brothers and sisters.

The woman doesn't care, and never complains to her man, and the relationship between the young couple grows deeper.

But this time, the county magistrate received a secret report ordering him to execute a family living in Yansai.That family is a refugee who escaped from Yanshu.According to the secret report, that family is suspected to be a spy sent by Yanshu Kingdom.

The county magistrate delayed several times, but the county lieutenant came forward and locked up the family member and asked him to execute him at another day.

These were refugees, and it was not uncommon for suspected spies to be put to death.Even if they are exposed in the future, the county magistrate is not only innocent, but those with backgrounds will also be rewarded for their prudence. No one will pay attention to the real cause of death of the refugees.

If the civilians are exterminated, then things will become a big mess, and it may attract private visits from court officials in micro-services.

Knowing that there was something strange about this matter, he disguised himself and went to the prison.

But he went too late, and when he arrived, he happened to meet three men in black who broke into the prison at night, not only killing the jailer, but also all the members of the family died in the prison.

Unfortunately, he was noticed by the other party, and he was hit by the poison dart before he could dodge.

After he was rescued by Yuan Zhao and his party, when he returned to the city, he learned that not only was the family member dead, but he was also charged on the head of the prisoner.

Thankfully, his true colors have not been exposed.But he couldn't say anything, and he was convicted of the midnight massacre.

Yuan Zhao: "...what happened to that family?"

"Not found yet." So far, only the current situation of the county magistrate has been checked, Luo Yan asked, "Do you want to track it down? We have someone from Yanshu."

"Let's find out." She was curious about the reason why the other party was exterminated. "It is definitely not an ordinary insider who can send Wu Chu's officials to assist."

The county lieutenant went over the county magistrate to arrest people privately, and even dared to order the county magistrate to choose a day to execute him, which shows that the water in Nanzhou is quite deep.No wonder my father disdain to interact with Nanzhou officials back then, and Nanzhou officials dare not do anything to her father, fearing each other.

Surrounded by wolves, the county magistrate and his family live in Nanzhou. It is not easy to protect himself, and it is even more difficult to break through the encirclement.

"Is there anyone in Nanzhou? If there is, please help at the critical moment." Yuan Zhao urged.

"The two rangers who accompanied us to hunt tigers back then are still there, always thinking about the kindness of the old man who saved them." Luo Yan said, "They live in seclusion in the mountains, isolated from the world, and they said that the old man will come out when called. "

"Let's leave the safety of the magistrate's family to them."

You don't need to show up to get in touch with the county magistrate, just keep an eye out in the city, so as not to do bad things with good intentions.

Luo Yan took the order and left, while Yuan Zhao continued to read.

Until midnight, the roof crackled and crackled, and the bean-sized raindrops hit the tiles very loudly.With such a big commotion, and not being in his own mansion, Yuan Zhao couldn't sleep at all, and was still reading by the window.

Suddenly, Qinghe whispered from above his head:
"Your Highness, someone is here."

Not long after the words were finished, there was a bang, and a hidden arrow was stuck on the crossbar by the window.A piece of bamboo is tied to the arrow, and on it is stabbed with a sword the eight characters "Ping back to the left and right, if you have anything to discuss".

Yuan Zhao: "..."
