Chapter 17
The group didn't wait long, about half an hour later, a group of people marched forward, the six people in front were divided into two teams, and the official title card on the left was written-Jinghu Zhizhishi, in large characters.

The official title plate on the right reads - Prefect of Xiangyang!There are also some official ranks on the back sign, such as Xianmo Pavilion Zhishi, Taizhong Doctor, Minister of Power and Punishment, etc...

To be honest, even though Meng Gong was popularized by Meng Gong yesterday, if Qiu Zhiqing could understand the official ranks above, even the audience would not believe it!Not long after, an official dressed in a purple robe, with a fluttering three-foot long beard, and a refined and resolute face came to the scene on horseback.

There were about fifty people who came, and they didn't say a word. With a wave of their hands, teams of officers and soldiers immediately blocked the scene, and at the same time, the river was on alert!
When they came to Yu Dutou, Meng Gong, and Qiu Zhiqing, Meng Gong and Yu Dutou hurriedly saluted and said: "I have seen the magistrate in my humble position (I don't care about the title of the adult, just follow the tongue!)!" Qiu Zhiqing also saluted Said: "Xiaodao Chonghe, I have met the magistrate!"

The prefect Zhao looked at the three of them for a moment, then nodded, and said to Du: "The prefect has already known your merits, and the rewards will be distributed to the camp in the near future. The prefect will not hold you accountable for your crimes, so I will step down first." Bar!"

Yu Dutou was overjoyed and bowed to leave!Of course he had reason to be overjoyed, no matter what happened afterwards, he had nothing to do with him, so naturally he left happily!
After dismissing Yu Dutou with a few sentences, Zhifu Zhao didn't take another look at Qiu Zhiqing.Instead, he looked directly at Meng Gong, looked him up and down, and then said with satisfaction: "It's true that the tiger father has no dogs. If the old man remembers correctly, you are the fourth son of Brother Defu, aren't you?"

It can be seen that Meng Gong was very excited, his face was flushed, as if a young man saw his idol, and he replied: "Meng Gong, a humble worker, with the name Puyu, met Zhao Shuai. My father said that if it wasn't for Zhao Shuai, I am waiting for father and son, I am afraid that we will die in Zaoyang!"

Zhao Zhifu obviously liked Meng Gong very much, he was not only brave, but also nice to speak, so he couldn't help laughing and said:

"Brother Defu is too modest. If you and your father and son hadn't defended the city for three months and firmly trapped Wan Yan, it would be uncertain whether Xiangfan could survive, and no matter in the end, Brother Defu still had the strength to go out of the city to attack the enemy and defeat the enemy. Army, killed 500 enemies, and your boy even led [-] people to defeat eighteen strongholds in a row! You are a great general!"

When Qiu Zhiqing saw that the two were flattering each other, he didn't take it seriously. If they were so powerful, why didn't they regain the lost ground?This was because Qiu Zhiqing was too harsh.

Looking at what the man in the capital was doing before, and taking a peek at the leopard, we can know what the Song army is like. It is not easy to not lose the city and lose the ground!It is absolutely impossible to count on their Northern Expedition!
This side is still touting each other, and the person who counted the supplies over there has already come up with the number and reported it!
Seeing the civil servants coming, Zhao Zhifu also stopped chatting with Meng Gong, and nodded to the civil servants to say!
The clerk opened the account book and said solemnly: "Master Zhifu, this matter may not be simple. Do you think it is reported to Lin'an for a decision from the higher authorities?"

Zhao Zhifu frowned, and said displeasedly: "A little smuggling, how could it alarm the officials?"

The official did not answer Zhao Zhifu's question, but began to report the number: "This batch of weapons includes three thousand hand knives, one thousand armors, twenty thousand arrows, two hundred divine arm crossbows, and one crossbow. Thousands of..."

Prefect Zhao became more surprised the more he listened, more annoyed, and more frightened at the same time. This is definitely not something that an ordinary smuggler can do. This is enough equipment to equip an army town. Thinking about the current situation, Prefect Zhao It seems that something has been caught, and it seems that nothing has been caught...

At this moment, Qiu Zhiqing actually felt in this prefect Zhao's true energy that was not weaker than his own. He hadn't noticed it before, and it might be subconsciously thinking that these civil servants in the Southern Song Dynasty could not resist their shoulders. Can't mention it, they are all powerless people.

Unexpectedly, this magistrate is still a master!

"Have you interrogated all the suspects? Can you get something?" Zhao Zhifu wanted to see if he could find clues from these people.

The official did not hesitate: "After the interrogation, these thugs are all talented people from the north. They don't know anything about it. The only person who knew the truth was killed by the Guanghua Army who came before because of fierce resistance..."

Qiu Zhiqing was sure that this guy must have collected money, what does it mean to resist fiercely and be killed by the head of the head?That guy is obviously killing people to silence him, okay?But this matter is beyond his meddling with this little shrimp!

Meng Gong slandered him as a "broom star", but now it seems that he is the real "broom star"!
Qiu Zhiqing secretly made up his mind to leave this source of trouble as soon as possible after the blockade is lifted!Although by mistake, he broke through a smuggling case involving the Kingdom of Jin, which made him very happy.

After all, it is impossible to rise up and lead the people of Song Dynasty to resist foreign oppression, but finding out one or two traitors is also very satisfying, isn't it?

But it seems that the situation is not very good now, you can know a thing or two by looking at the expression of the prefect Zhao...

The news that Zhao Zhifu cracked a large-scale smuggling case quickly spread in Xiangyang and Fancheng. At this time, a group of people who were walking towards the pier stood still when they heard the news. The two mustaches are jumping and jumping!

The thick palms creaked, and suddenly there was a thunder in the sky. Xiangyang and Fancheng on both sides of the Han River seemed to be the center of a storm. Black clouds gathered quickly, and a heavy rain swept across the land without warning!
The majestic figure of the man with the square face stood upright, looked up at the gloomy sky, flicked his sleeves, and said, "Go back to the inn!"

While walking, he ordered: "Check it out for me! I want to know the details of the incident before sunset, and there must be no mistakes!"

The entourage left behind, a group of people came in a hurry, and then turned back in a hurry. Today is the Ghost Festival, and people who got up early have already lit incense candles at the door. Can't get out.

When the wind blows, the unburned pieces of paper are flying around, reflecting the group of people going away, adding a bit of weirdness...

At the beginning of Xiyun, the pavilion was sinking, and the rain was about to come and the wind filled the building.

As soon as the thunder came out, the mountain wind followed, and the rainstorm also came as scheduled!

This huge ordnance smuggling case, like this thunder, woke up the half-sleeping Xiangyang City!The servants shuttled back and forth, and the green robes, green robes, and red robes kept coming and going.

None of this has much to do with Qiu Zhiqing. Qiu Zhiqing, who originally planned to stay away from this whirlpool of right and wrong whenever he had a chance, was dragged into the water by Meng Gong, a good teammate, in the end!

After moving this batch of ordnance to the magistrate's office, the magistrate Zhao wanted to take Meng Gong back to the magistrate's office. He called it a good treat, but he was actually afraid that he would be retaliated and died in Xiangyang City. After confessing, he was taken back to the mansion for resettlement.

Apparently, Zhifu Zhao also knew that this matter was unusual. Thinking about it, he was able to get such a large amount of ordnance, and he was able to pass through many hurdles before being smashed by these two stunned young men at the time of final shipment. Think about the joints I shudder...

Could Meng Gong not know this?If he didn't know what the officialdom of the Song Dynasty was like, he wouldn't voluntarily resign from all positions after making great contributions to the sky, and go home to retire in peace and have a good death!
That's why after Zhao Zhifu proposed to let him live in the magistrate's government office, knowing that it was a kind of protection for him, he dragged Qiu Zhiqing who didn't deserve this kind of treatment into it, and finally let Qiu Zhiqing Live in the Xiangyang government office together with him!

Among them, only Qiu Zhiqing himself was still in a daze, and he didn't know what to do.At the end of noon, Qiu Zhiqing couldn't hold back after all.

Asked: "Brother Puyu, how can you pull me in? Zhifu Zhao obviously doesn't like Xiaodao very much, you don't talk, you continue to report on your work when it's over, I continue to travel around, we both get what we need, and get what we want , wouldn't it be nice?"

Meng Gong poured himself a cup of tea, then pushed the teapot in front of Qiu Zhiqing, indicating that he wanted to drink it himself, and after taking a few sips to moisten his throat, Meng Gong said Shi Shiran:
"Ming people don't talk dark words. You saw it on the pier before. Some of the people in the crowd were not ordinary people at all. I just saw that there were several who were wrong. If they were targeted by them , Tsk tsk~ Prefect Zhao is protecting me, and I am protecting you!"

As he spoke, he drank a few more sips of tea on his own, and then continued: "We are indeed impulsive about this matter, hey~ I don't know who I shouldn't have offended, it's really a big headache..."

"Stop! It's you who was impulsive all the time. I wasn't impulsive. I didn't do anything. You were the one who dragged me into a martial arts competition last night. You were the one who broke people's things. You were the one who rushed out to kill people today, so!"

Speaking of this, Qiu Zhiqing stretched out his right hand and index finger, pointed to his chest, made a soft sound, and then continued: "I am wronged!"

Meng Gong spread his hands: "Who will believe it? Just wait, today's Hungry Ghost Festival is destined to haunt ghosts and monsters!"
