Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Back at home, dinner was already prepared.

They were waiting for Fang Zheng to start eating. Seeing Fang Zheng return, Xiao Tao hurried up to take his things.

Taking the sword, Xiao Tao was immediately surprised: "Wow, what a beautiful sword, Young Master, where did you get it?"

"Put the things away first, we'll talk after dinner."

As soon as Fang Zheng sat down, Bai Yi quickly said: "I'll go get the rice!"

These days, she was getting more and more skilled as a maid, almost instinctively.

Although Fang Manor didn't pay much, the benefits were good, and the food was good.

Usually, Xiao Tao would direct the other maids to work, while Bai Yi followed her around, shopping whenever they weren't strolling the streets.

Life was wonderful!

Sometimes she felt lost...

Once everyone had their rice, they began to eat.

The others ate in small bites, while Zhang Biao held a rice bowl piled high and devoured it like crazy.

Fang Zheng sat next to him, feeling a little nauseous. Today's play was too eye-searing, so he put down his rice bowl and watched the others eat.

Xiao Tao asked with some doubt: "Are you going to eat? Why aren't you eating? Is the food not good today?"

Bai Yi became nervous, as she had prepared the food today.

Fang Zheng composed himself, then said: "I have something important to announce. I will be going out of town."

"I've already made arrangements. I'll take two people with me, and the rest will return to Peach Blossom County. Don't stay in the capital."

Upon hearing this, everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks, except for Zhang Biao.

With quick eyes and hands, Zhang Biao saw that everyone else had stopped and grabbed five dishes with his chopsticks, stuffing them full into his mouth.

He didn't care, anyway, he would definitely have a share wherever they went.

Xiao Tao blinked her big eyes: "Where are we going? Are you taking me?"

Fang Zheng waved his hand: "No, you're going back to the county."

Hearing this, Xiao Tao lowered her head, looking dejected.

"Young Master has been demoted! I am now the Vice Prefect of Jianjiang, and I have to report to Jianjiang within a month. Zhang Biao and Lu Fa will come with me, and the rest of you will return to the county."

"That's it, don't stare at me, eat your food!"

Xiao Tao listlessly picked at her food, dejectedly saying: "Being demoted must be because the newspaper made the Emperor unhappy."

"Young Master, you've regressed. We never did things twice before."

"This time you created that newspaper and messed with people twice. The officials must all hate you."

Fang Zheng gave a wry smile: "Do you think I wanted to mess with them!"

After speaking, he turned and went back to his room. After a while, he took out a letter and slammed it on the table.

"Let Xie Xian and the others do something. If they can't, then they should come back. They're still lingering there!"

"A bunch of bandits, hooligans! Damn it, they can't get rid of their stinky habits, and I have to clean up their mess!"

"When they come back to the county, hang them all on the city wall for me!"

Zhang Biao mumbled: "Ah, got it."

Xiao Tao unfolded the letter and was shocked.

"They went to rob again! Shen Zhaoxuan is there too?"

Fang Zheng said angrily: "If it weren't for them, would I be in such a hurry? Starting a cult! When there's no food to eat, they'll all become rioters if they can't be controlled."

"They've gotten so bold, they really think their little tricks can go against the government!"

"If I don't find a way to raise food for them, the fire will eventually burn to Peach Blossom County!"

Xiao Tao put down the letter, curiously asking: "Then, what are you replying to them?"

"I replied, originally thinking that the imperial court's batch of grain would be sent over, and the situation would be alleviated, so I told them to come back directly."

"Now it's good, I have to make a trip myself."

After speaking, Fang Zheng suddenly chuckled: "Hey, these bastards, they can always come up with something new for me!"

"If we're going to do it, then let's do it, what's there to be afraid of, let's continue eating."

Bai Yi opened her mouth wide, as if she had heard something incredible.

What exactly do these people do? They're so carefree! It seems that I still haven't understood them after being here for so long.....

Not long after, Zhang Biao finished the leftovers, without wasting a single bit.

The few people sat at the table, picking their teeth, and chatting.

Fang Zheng said triumphantly: "Come on, Xiao Tao, bring my sword over here, I'll let you all feast your eyes today!"

Xiao Tao turned to get the sword and placed it on the table, and everyone gathered around.

"Look! Take a good look! The Qian Kingdom's imperial sword, even His Majesty loves it very much, how about it, haven't seen it before?"

The scabbard was carved with dragons and phoenixes, and various precious jade stones were inlaid on it. The hilt was a golden dragon carving, which looked extremely majestic.

Everyone looked at the sword and praised it.

"Wow... so many gems are inlaid on it, it must be worth a lot of money."

"Not as good-looking as glass!"

Bai Yi stared at the sword, feeling waves of sadness in her heart...

Father Emperor's sword... it's Father Emperor's sword.

She had asked Father Emperor for this sword many times, but he never gave it to her.

Past memories surfaced in Bai Yi's mind, and her eyes were slightly red. Her hand involuntarily reached out towards the sword.

Before she could touch it, a large hand snatched the sword away first.

Zhang Biao held it in his hand and kept playing with it.

He said disdainfully: "Heh heh, fancy things, I don't think it's useful!"

"It's not worth mentioning compared to my divine weapon!"

After speaking, he drew the sword with a clang!

A flash of sword light passed by, the sword body was forged from mysterious iron, and the blade was extremely thin, with a faint cold light.

Everyone's heart trembled.

Good sword! Even someone who knows nothing about swords can feel its sharpness when encountering such a peerless sword!

Bai Yi's heart began to tremble violently.

It's this sword... that's right, everything from the outside to the inside is right!

Memories once again crashed into her heart.

Bai Yi tried hard to suppress the emotions in her heart, for fear of appearing too excited.

But Fang Zheng still saw it.

He asked curiously: "Xiao Bai, why are you shaking?"

Bai Yi forced a smile: "This sword is a little scary..."

Zhang Biao grinned: "Look at your little courage! You're afraid of this, Young Master, why don't you let me test how the sword is!"

"Test it!" "Test it quickly!" "This is a treasure sword, no mistake!" Everyone clamored.

"There's nothing to test about its sharpness. Even the most broken iron sheet can be sharpened extremely sharply. Whether it's good or not mainly depends on the rigidity of the sword body! This is too thin, I don't think it will be good."

Hearing Zhang Biao's words, Fang Zheng felt something was wrong, and he raised his hand, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Before the words could come out, Zhang Biao had already drawn the sword and discarded the scabbard.

He held the sword body with both hands and bent it hard!

"Clang!" With a loud noise, the sword body broke in response!

Zhang Biao carelessly threw down the broken blade: "No, I guessed right! Sure enough, it looks good but is useless! It's vulnerable to heavy armor!"

".................."

Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became strange.

They looked at Zhang Biao, and then looked at the broken blade... again and again.

Fang Zheng was still raising his hand, staring at the broken sword for a long time, suddenly wailing: "My Imperial Sword!!!"

"Zhang Biao! Is this how you test a sword!?"

"If you want the master to die, just say it directly!"

"Zhang Biao! You want to kill the young master!"

Zhang Biao suddenly realized after seeing everyone's hostile eyes, and silently put down the sword hilt: "I didn't use much force, it just broke, the rigidity is really not good....", after speaking, he got up and slipped away, his pace getting faster and faster.

Fang Zheng's face stretched out for a long time and followed, and the others also got up one after another, no longer eating!

In the same place, only Bai Yi was left alone, staring blankly at the broken sword on the ground.

Tears finally flowed down.

Her heart also broke with the sword..........
