As soon as Zeng Peiying finished speaking, two rows of samurai-robed warriors holding swords rushed in outside the yard, standing unstoppably on both sides of the passage from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard!

These warriors are all majestic and upright, as if they were inaccessible to heavenly soldiers!

Zeng Peiying immediately stepped out of the threshold and looked at the guard in front of him in panic.

The magistrate was already scared and his legs were weak, shaking and wondering where to look.

At this time, four powerful warriors walked in from the outer courtyard. The man in front of them had a strong and heroic body and a young face. He had a jade crown on his head and a spot between his fingers, and only an ordinary bone fan was held in his hand.

His pace was not very slow, nor very fast, but he just stood out from the noble spirit of his nine-five-noble masters and his unsightly dominance of the world!

Under these phoenix eyes, the magistrate seemed to be pressed by Mount Tai. He knelt on the ground with a thud, his forehead hitting the ground, and his brow sounded!

"I deserve to die. I don't know that the Lord has arrived. I hope the Lord will forgive me!"

Zeng Peiying also knelt down immediately: "I am the gentle minister Zeng Peiying, welcome the emperor!"

The emperor stepped into the threshold and looked down at the heads of the two: "This yamen is quiet. What are the two sirs busy with?"

The magistrate was hesitant. Zeng Peiying couldn't understand the emperor suddenly appeared here, and asked about the intention behind this sentence, but he didn't think about how to answer.

Han Jun walked up and replied, "If you want to go back to the emperor, before the emperor comes in, the magistrate, who was sorry for being disturbed by Zhao's guards and could not fall into his pocket, suggested that Lord Zeng, who was highly prestigious in the capital, give him some color to him after he returned, preferably offend the sage. Lord Zeng was worried and needed to find opportunities."

When Han Jun said this, his tone was exactly the same as the previous tone he had reported to the emperor, calm and ordinary. But when Zeng Peiying and the governor heard this, they immediately broke their courage!

What they said in the yamen actually made the guards beside the emperor hear everything!

"Emperor! Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty!"

The magistrate kowtowed like pounding garlic! His voice trembled into trembling strings.

Even though Zeng Peiying was promoted to the third rank, he would not be as useless as a magistrate, but he was really panicked! It was already heartbreaking to see the emperor suddenly appear here. Han Junshu heard his conversation with the magistrate. Is this just a coincidence?

Of course he wouldn't think so naively. The emperor must have come here long ago, that is, everything that happened in Cangzhou these days, the emperor knew about it?

He swallowed a few saliva and stabilized his beating heart: "The emperor asked Rong Chen to explain that Wei Chen did not participate in the 3,000 taels of silver mentioned by the prefect. I didn't know Lin Zhihuan at all before coming to Cangzhou. Lin Zhihuan came to him through the prefect, but Wei Chen did not do anything for him!

"What I said to the magistrate just now was just a few jokes. What Zhao Shiwei did was reasonable and well-founded, and was to help the weak. I remember the king's law in my heart, and it was impossible to make false accusations and retaliation against Zhao Shiwei!"

Although the magistrate saw the emperor for the first time, he had already been shocked by Tianwei. When he heard Zeng Peiying say this, he had guessed that the emperor knew everything, so he immediately argued for himself: "The emperor clearly understands! Lin Zhihuan came to him, and he made up a lot of reasons. The envoy believed that Wu Lanfeng was really unfaithful. The weak minister took him to see Lord Zeng!

"But the documents with Wu family did not include that clause, and the Wei minister confiscated their money, but sent him out! Beg the emperor to take a clear look!"

"Mingcha?" The emperor took the big letter from Han Jun's hand and asked them to throw it away: "Why do you two look carefully first? Is it clear that I have found out? Or what else is there that I don't know? Please remind me again?"

A thick stack of paper sprinkled into flowers on the ground, and the handwriting exposed on the face was so familiar that it instantly swept away the blood on both of their faces, almost stopping breathing!

The emperor stepped on it with his feet wearing gold cloud shoes, as if he was stomping on their hearts, livers, spleens and lungs, making them unable to breathe in an instant!

"Five years ago, you came to Cangzhou to take office. The first money you received was a birthday gift from the Lin family of 500 taels of silver notes. From then on, the Lin family has been repeatedly filial to each other regardless of birthdays and holidays. Even if you are cautious and have no trace left, the people around you will not know. Do you think they will tell the truth in front of my guards?"

The magistrate sweated like rain, and his whole body twitched uncontrollably.

"After collecting money from the Lin family, of course, I have to do business for the Lin family. So Wu Lanfeng has proposed reunion several times, but you refuse to show up. You didn't even ask about the death of the child in Wu Lanfeng's belly. The dispute between him and the Zhang family was even worse.

"So, now you tell me whether the death of Wu Lanfeng's brother has anything to do with the Lin family? What other activities did Lin Zhihuan do to seize the Wu family's property? How much did you participate in this?"

The emperor's tone was not heavy at all, and it was even light and slow, but the governor was like a dehydrated fish in such a gentle tone, panting as if he was pulling a bellows!

"The emperor is clear! When Wu's younger brother died, Weichen had not been transferred to Cangzhou. I really don't know! I only know that in order to get the property that Wu Lanfeng was about to inherit, the Lin family forced a Liu family to Lin Xie! Wu Lanfeng really ignored Li Chen, but I did not participate in other matters!"

"If you don't know, then go and check it out!"

The bone fan in the emperor's hand was supported on the table with his sudden cold knife words. The sound of the bone fan exploded like thunder in the quiet space!

He stretched out his other hand to pick up the jade pendant on the table, then glanced down: "While I haven't issued an order to ward you off the court, now follow General Han to the Lin family and figure out all the things you don't understand."

The magistrate lay down on the ground and couldn't move.

Zeng Peiying gritted her teeth and glared at him: "Why don't you go quickly!"

Then he shook out a broken "following the order", and then used all his strength to get up from the ground and retreated from the threshold.

When he raised his foot, he tripped on the threshold and fell under the corridor. He hurriedly got up and walked out of the yard with his hat in three steps!

The movement from the box here reached the backyard. He Zong, who was asking someone to pack his bags, heard that the emperor was coming, and immediately rushed forward as soon as he lifted his butt. He happened to bump into the magistrate who had come out of the way. After both of them were shocked, He Zong glanced at Han Jun behind him and quickly walked into the yard.

"I am late to pick up the emperor, I deserve to die!"

The emperor glanced at him kneeling on the ground, reached out to take the tea handed over by the guard, withdrew his gaze and took a sip, then looked at the painting hanging on the wall.
