The Golden County Magistrate

The room was instantly as quiet as death!

Zheng Yan opened her mouth wide, staring at the two people entangled in front of her, and two red clouds rose on her pretty face.

She always treated the county government as her own home, and broke into the door more than once or twice, but this was the first time she saw this scene!

After all, who would have thought that Chen Yan would do Lu Qing'er here in broad daylight...

Lu Qing'er blushed with shame and shrank behind Chen Yan.

"Captain Zheng, can you knock on the door before you come in!" Chen Yan was also embarrassed and hurried to cover up.

"Ah!"

Zheng Yan suddenly woke up, screamed, turned around and ran away with a red face!

"Hey, at least close the door!"

Chen Yan shouted.

"Close it yourself!"

Zheng Yan's embarrassed cry came from outside.

Chen Yan shook his head when he heard it.

This girl is getting more and more disobedient!

After a long while, Chen Yan, who had tidied his clothes, left the room and closed the door.

Zheng Yan, who was waiting outside, still had a red face. She didn't dare to look at him, and turned her head away and said, "The man surnamed Bai finally woke up. Do you want to interrogate him?"

Chen Yan was very excited: "Of course I will! Let's go!"

With that, Chen Yan walked out.

Zheng Yan didn't leave, but looked at the next room curiously and asked, "Sir, what's in that room?"

She loves sweets and is particularly sensitive to this aspect. Even across the room, she still smelled a sweet fragrance that made her excited, and naturally became curious.

Chen Yan said without looking back: "Let's talk about it later!"

Zheng Yan had no choice but to follow him.

Not long after, the two came to the prison of the county government.

Once upon a time, this prison was overcrowded.

But after Chen Yan took office, fewer and fewer people were arrested, and now this prison is much vacant.

All offenders were sent there as free labor, which was considered as labor reform.

However, a few days ago, a special "guest" appeared in the prison.

Chen Yan walked to the door of the cell at the end, and a yamen runner hurriedly said, "Sir!"

He took the key and opened the cell door.

Chen Yan nodded and stepped into the cell.

On the prison bed, a pale middle-aged scholar lay, his chest was covered with dried blood, his mouth was stuffed, his eyes were half open and half closed, and he was extremely weak.

If Xun Yufei was here at this moment, he would recognize that this person was the "missing" Bai Xiang!

Last time Tang Yun was assassinated, Chen Yan initially thought it was just revenge by the enemies of Zhou's Chamber of Commerce, so he didn't want to care too much.

Who knew that afterwards, Zheng Yan secretly came to tell him that there were accomplices of the other party outside the yamen, and they fled after discovering that the plot failed, and she had sent someone to secretly watch them.

Chen Yan didn't take it too seriously at first, but since he had a cooperation with Zhou's Chamber of Commerce, he might as well do a favor and capture the man as a gift to Miss Zhou.

Therefore, he asked Zhang Dabiao to send two soldiers from the Nafu Camp to capture Bai Xiang without anyone noticing.

But he never thought that he would find something unexpected just after he captured the man.

Chen Yan recognized him at a glance. Wasn't this guy the follower of the man who called himself Tang Shuo last time?

He felt a little nervous and said to himself that it was not good.

Last time he pretended to be stupid and drove the other party away, but he didn't expect to catch this guy again by mistake.

No need to ask, this guy must have been instigated by the guy who called himself King Yan to assassinate Miss Zhou.

But there is no reason. Zhou's Chamber of Commerce is a civilian organization. What grudge can it have with that guy?

While he was thinking, Bai Xiang suddenly yelled, "Don't even think about asking me about the whereabouts of the prince." Then he bit off his tongue and committed suicide on the spot!

Fortunately, Chen Yan knew some first aid and tried to control the bleeding for Bai Xiang as quickly as possible, and found a doctor to treat him.

But this guy still went into shock due to excessive blood loss, and was in a coma for many days, and only woke up now.

Chen Yan was a little amused.

This is not an assassin, but a dead soldier!

Besides, he didn't intend to force the other party to ask about the whereabouts of the "prince", so why was he so anxious!

However, this incident also made Chen Yan temporarily give up the idea of ​​giving him to Miss Zhou.

So he hid this person in the prison, where no one would come, and it was an excellent place to hide people.

Chen Yan had some questions and had to ask this person clearly.

Since the other party claimed to be a rebel, why did he target Zhou's Chamber of Commerce and Miss Zhou?

Could it be that the Zhou Chamber of Commerce is not only related to the imperial court, but also to the current empress?

In order to prevent Bai Xiang from biting his tongue again, Chen Yan did not ask anyone to take out the herbs in his mouth, and still stuffed it in.

"Don't be afraid, I don't want to ask you anything." Chen Yan directly played the friendly card to put the other party at ease.

Bai Xiang's eyes revealed some surprise, and he hummed.

Chen Yan was prepared and asked the yamen runners to takeBring paper and pen, and said: "If you have anything to say, write it on the paper."

Bai Xiang struggled to hold the pen and dip it in ink, and began to write on the paper.

"You dog official?"

Chen Yan read out the words one by one, and his face turned green by the end!

He saved the other person's life after all, and this guy didn't know how to repay his gratitude, so what about repaying kindness with resentment!

Zheng Yan, who was beside him, held back her laughter, stared at the words on the paper, and continued to read: "I will never betray the prince... Prince? What prince?"

She didn't know that Tang Shuo had brought people to the county government, and looked at Chen Yan in shock.

Chen Yan didn't say anything, snatched the pen, and ordered the yamen runners: "Watch him, don't let him die!"

Leaving the prison, Chen Yan had a gloomy face and didn't say a word.

Zheng Yan rarely saw him with this expression, and couldn't help asking: "Sir, what happened?"

She was one of Chen Yan's most trusted people. At this time, she thought again and again and told him what happened that day.

Zheng Yan's face changed after hearing this, and she couldn't help but say: "Why do I feel that the guy might really be Yan..."

Chen Yan interrupted her: "It doesn't matter whether it's true or not, what's important is that he is a scourge! Whether your master can defend this Qingshan County depends on you!"

Zheng Yan asked in confusion: "What does your master mean?"

Chen Yan lowered his voice: "You go in person, even if you turn Qingshan County upside down, you must find that scourge!"

Zheng Yan has been very idle recently, and she was immediately refreshed, and said proudly: "Don't worry, master! As long as he is still in the scope of Qingshan County, I will definitely catch him back for you!"

Chen Yan said with a dark face: "Who told you to catch him! I want you to find him and send him away as far as possible, the farther the better!"

Zheng Yan was stunned: "Ah? This is obviously a great opportunity to make a contribution!"

Chen Yan knocked her on the smooth forehead.

"You really want your master to leave Qingshan County right away, right?"

"If this achievement is reported to the court, I guarantee that I will not be able to sit on the position of Qingshan County Magistrate for three more days!"

"I hide day and night and guard night and day just because I don't want people to notice me."

"You are so eager to send me away!"
