Chapter 13

In the hall.

Guan Xihui suppressed the scene and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, one or two hard-necked goods suddenly emerged:

"The relatives and peers were harmed last night, and we are naturally very heartbroken.

But what does this have to do with us?

It was clearly your patrol guards who were negligent, so they were taken advantage of by the villains."

"That is, that is."

"Exactly this reason."

The hall, which had been led by someone, gradually became chaotic again.

At this time, a roar came from outside the door:

"The villains who killed people last night were all masters of entering the Dao, and the few who appeared moved like flying birds, and the swords split the air.

Even the heavy armor elites of the imperial court would die if they encountered them without forming a large formation.

Two years ago, our Guard Station wanted to recruit a few more teams of patrol guards and buy formation diagrams to practice armor soldiers.

Which one of you opened your mouth to support it?

Didn't you all say that the gold and silver wealth transported to the mainland family must not be reduced by a single point?

Now you are settling the account, who should this be blamed on!"

The roaring person had a square face, big mouth, nose like a hanging gall, nine feet tall, and was imposing.

When he was angry and looked at people, his eye sockets seemed to be splitting, and his eyeballs seemed to be jumping out, scaring people to death.

It was Zhang Yan's other confidant, the other Flat Star Commander of the Guard Station, He Kaihai.

Legend has it that he has the blood of the Sea Barbarian Ancient God, has a "Divine Cong" in his body, can enter the sea without dying, and hunt whales and sharks just like ordinary things, which is quite bluffing.

After all, a small rich man who is pampered and expensive, in the case of living on an island for many years, even if he cultivates to enter the Dao.

Encountering a barbarian with low IQ, full of martial virtue, and legend has it that he can swim freely between islands and land, it is best not to offend him.

It's not that I'm afraid of him, but it's not worth it.

So the hall finally became silent.

Guan Xihui began to ask the case according to the status of the people.

The content did not mean to be difficult at all, it was completely a formality.

So many people died overnight, you are in charge of public security and didn't make records for the relevant personnel, is this appropriate? It's not appropriate, right?

Just ask like this, record like this, and the car-wheel words take turns to say.

After asking the several Stewards, skipping the Head Clerks and Senior Clerks, it was Zhang Gui's turn.

"Little brother Zhang Gui, I ask you.

People died in your courtyard last night, were you too scared to report to the official, or didn't you know?"

Zhang Gui was startled and answered: "Back to the words of the Commandant Guan, I really don't know about this."

"Don't know, so much lime was sprinkled in the courtyard, and such a strong smell of wine, can't you see or smell it?

Could it be that the villains made trouble in the market last night, you are young, and you didn't pay attention because you were panicked?"

"Yes, I didn't pay attention.

Yesterday, after I was assigned a residence, I took a nap for half a day, and went to the street to find something to eat when the sky was just dark.

As a result, the street became chaotic while I was walking.

Later, the patrol guard brothers asked the idlers to go home, and I went back to sleep.

I didn't pay attention to anything."

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, at such a young age, encountering such things when first entering society, it's no wonder you are panicked.

Clerk Xu, write down the words, let little brother Zhang Gui draw a sign, and let him go."

Such an easy hall trial, even if Zhang Gui was Guan Xihui's biological father, I am afraid it would only be like this.

Zhang Gui arched his hands and said thank you, walked out of the Town Guard Station in a daze, and felt a sense of panic in his heart.

For people who are smart enough, knowledgeable enough, courageous enough, and lucky enough, no adversity is terrible.

Just meet the move.

What is terrible is that the situation suddenly becomes completely contrary to common sense, making people unable to understand and unable to predict.

You must know that the unknown tailwind can turn into the most terrible headwind at any time.

Just like this, Zhang Gui returned to the East Market Town Hall with worries, and even forgot that his stomach was still hungry.

The clerks of the Town Hall had already eaten lunch and were squatting in their rooms drinking tea to digest.

Seeing Zhang Gui appear, no one came out to greet him.

No flattery, no difficulty, just treated as invisible.

The two Head Clerks of the East Market were both descendants of the Pingyang Zhang Family.

One was fat and big-eared, named Zhang Qishan, and the other was even fatter, named Zhang Huai.

By the window of the upper side room of the second courtyard.

Zhang Qishan looked around at Zhang Gui, walked into the main hall without saying a word, and spat, "Little bastard, you are rampant when you get your wish.

Relying on being the friend of the Steward, you treat us Head Clerks so coldly.

Really don't know the power of 'the county official is not as good as the current manager'."

"Power, what power, don't look for trouble yourself." Another Head Clerk Zhang Huai said very spinelessly: "Steward Bajin is powerful, right?

Isn't it that he was divided into a piece of cake overnight, and then inexplicably lost his head.

I said long ago that Luan Ya is a place where the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

No one knows which cloud has rain, it is best to be kind to others.

He doesn't ignore us, we don't ignore him for the sake of face.

Why get angry, why be fierce, it's unnecessary."

"People fight for a breath, Buddha fights for a stick of incense.

Zhang Jiujiang, this kid, has a top scholar brother, we dare not fight, why even a person without background..."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw Zhang Jiujiang break into the courtyard with big strides, and although he knew he couldn't hear his words at all, he shrank his neck and closed his mouth.

In the courtyard, Zhang Jiujiang walked into the main hall in two steps.

Seeing Zhang Gui who was pacing around the stove fire, he said: "Dagui, something big happened!"

"Great." Zhang Gui's eyes lit up upon hearing this, "It seems you know what the variable on me is.

Tell me quickly."

"You are a commoner who hasn't studied the imperial examination classics, what variable can you have? It's Zhang Jiuqing, that guy Zhang Jiuqing has had good luck again.

Got engaged to the only daughter of Lord Huaihe."

"What does that have to do with me?"

"I have to say this slowly." Zhang Jiujiang calmed down and poured himself a cup of tea.

He moved a chair, sat down by the stove fire and said: "In the morning, didn't Zhang Yan call the Stewards to lecture?

I thought that if I wanted to borrow Zhang Jiuqing's power to return home, you..."

"What are you doing, Jiujiang!

Didn't I say don't make your own claims."

"But you treat me as a brother and give me advice, how can I stand by and watch your situation."

Zhang Jiujiang might be unclear about small things, but he is not a coward about big things.

"Good, good, you are not a coward about big things, continue." Zhang Gui said powerlessly.

"You interrupted me, and what I wanted to say was forgotten.

In short, I waited until Zhang Yan finished stabilizing people's hearts with chatter.

When he sent sweet dates to one person, one person, I mentioned Zhang Jiuqing unintentionally.

Pretending to mention how powerful he is.

And said that besides me, his uncle, Zhang Jiuqing is closest to you, and loves you the most.

Because he hoped you would have a good future, he walked through the back door and sent you to Luan Ya with me.

As a result, Zhang Yan didn't expect to hear this, and directly promoted you to a Head Clerk."
