Chapter 205 The Ability to Chat

In the light of the torch, the face of the captain of the official dispatch turned blue and white, regret and hesitation coexisted, and he didn't know how to end it.

After a while, he bite the bullet and asked, "Are you Shen Liuzhen?"

Shen Liuzhen took a step away from behind Liu Qinbing, bowed his hands politely and performed the etiquette of a Confucian scholar, obediently said:

"Yes."

The captain's complexion immediately improved, and he thought: Even if this is a big man, he is also a good talker, so he shouldn't be targeting him because of what he said just now.

The captain pretended to be in distress, handed back the road sign with both hands, and said in a low voice:

"Master Shen, to tell you the truth, someone made a special trip to report that you killed the Xianbei people. Maybe everyone has already filed a complaint in the military town. If the military town comes to ask for someone... I have to bring people to chase you again.

We are soft-spoken, and we are all Han Chinese. When the time comes, there is no basis for what we say, and no one will believe what we say. How about you take someone to the county government with us and wait for a while, and tell those Xianbei people in person? "

Shen Liuzhen stood there, hesitated for a while with eyes lowered, and said:

"It's okay to go with you, but I have something important to do, so I can't delay it. Why don't you ask the captain to send someone to send a letter to several military towns around, saying that the imperial envoy is stuck on the road due to private affairs, please Inform Prince Muhe to send someone to pick him up."

When the captain of the official post heard this, he was stunned.

If he was still a little skeptical just now, now he really believed that Shen Liuzhen was an imperial envoy.

Although this imperial envoy was not at all like an imperial envoy, but he dared to invite all the Xianbei people from the surrounding military towns, it must be true that gold is not afraid of fire, it is true.

And I didn't say it just now, I stayed here because of a private matter, so I definitely can't use the pomp of an imperial envoy to settle the private matter - it is reasonable.

Thinking of this, the captain of the officer's post bent even more, and quickly said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will send a few more horses, and I will send your letter as soon as possible, so as not to delay things, you see... Let's go."

Shen Liuzhen spread his arms, and said politely: "Please wait outside the door for a while, you see, we woke up in the middle of the night, our clothes were disheveled, and our bags were not packed..."

"Oh, that's right...we're waiting outside, you can do whatever you want." Upon hearing this, the captain of the official dispatch quickly turned around and walked out with the people. He didn't forget to be considerate when he left, and closed the door behind him.

Liu Qinbing turned his head to look at Shen Liuzhen, and asked:
"Do you really want to go with them? Since someone reported it, there may be someone behind me. I don't think it's safe to just follow them."

Shen Liuzhen was not in a panic, and walked back calmly, picked up the clothes on the table, put them on, and said while wearing them:

"They wanted to kill me, but they sent people to assassinate me at night, which shows that they didn't have the guts to come out. Since they didn't have the guts to come out, I found out my identity and whereabouts in several nearby military towns. They It’s not good to do it again.”

Liu Qinbing thought for a while and asked again: "Since the assassination failed, what's the point of reporting it? Is it possible that they will link up with the county government here, deliberately deny your identity, and sentence you to an unjust prison to show your black hands. When we arrive at the people's house The county government is heavily guarded, and I have no ability to keep you out."

Xie Yuan had been listening from the sidelines. She kept Shen Liuzhen's words in mind, lowered her head and neither spoke nor raised her eyes. At this moment, she suddenly said:

"I don't bring bows and arrows, and I don't have a horse. At most, I can escape by myself, and I may not be able to protect you."

Shen Liuzhen glanced at her lowered head, suddenly laughed, and said softly: "A Yuan, you performed well just now, no one noticed you, please keep it up."

Hearing this, Xie Yuan turned his face slightly, raised his eyes and gave him a white look, then lowered his eyes again.

Shen Liuzhen wanted to pack his things, and Liu Qinbing hurriedly helped him pack and pack.Shen Liuzhen straightened her clothes and hair, and said:

"The officials from outside are not stupid. They are cautious and flexible. With such people as subordinates, there is a high probability that their county magistrate is not a fool."

Shen Liuzhen paused, then said:
"It doesn't matter even if he is confused. I will give him a few hints to let him know that the disputes here are not something they can get involved in, and they might be killed. The county magistrates are generally Han people. They are not like Xianbei people. The relationship is not that good."

Xie Yuan said nothing more.Shen Liuzhen has always been good at trying to figure out and use people's hearts, and she has no desire to speak out.

Liu Qinbing carried the packed baggage on his back, and said very bluntly:

"That's fine, as long as you make up your mind, I will listen to you." He directly went to open the door with his burden on his back.

The officials outside the door were still waiting for them, holding torches and lining up.

The corridor was not that wide, and Liu Qinbing walked past them with two packages on his shoulders, saying:

"Please make room for me, the other room hasn't been cleaned yet."

After he passed.Shen Liuzhen and Xie Yuan came out of the door empty-handed one after the other.

The captain of the official post smiled at Shen Liuzhen, and said to the people behind him:

"Go and lift the corpses inside and bring them back together."

"Yes." The two went in.

Shen Liuzhen took Xie Yuan and walked downstairs.While walking, he said to the captain who was beside him:

"I came here in a carriage, and I will have to trouble you to run errands later. It's been hard work."

The captain smiled and said: "They are all on duty, not hard work. Master Shen, don't blame us. We are just a few small shrimps who obey our orders. We can't help ourselves to support our family. Please forgive me if I offend you."

Shen Liuzhen smiled with the corners of his lips hooked, gentle and sincere, looked into the other's eyes, and said with emotion: "I understand, the world is difficult, and everyone's life is not easy."

Hearing what Shen Liuzhen said, the captain immediately felt good about it.

Now that they were getting closer, they saw that the young man Lang Sheng had such a good face, his big eyes were black and white, he looked clean and kind, and it was rare for him to be so understanding when he was in power.

With the addition of hatchbacks, even though the captain has met many people and is an experienced person, he still feels that this young man has a rare character and is very popular.

"Thank you Master Shen...hahaha..." the captain said with a shy smile.

"You don't need to call me Mr. Shen, I'm young, so I don't know the name of the elder brother of the official messenger?"

"My name is Wong."

"Oh... Wang is a common surname, I don't know but it comes from the Wang family?" Shen Liuzhen asked as he walked.

"Hey... the ancestors may have been relatives for five lifetimes, but now they can't be climbed." Captain Wang said.

"It can't be said that the bloodline of the family is full of dragons and phoenixes. Brother Wang is not an idler when he listens to the conversation... My teacher is from the Xie family. I have really seen the profound heritage of the family..." Shen Liuzhen said Follow the people while chatting with Captain Wang.

Xie Yuan followed behind him with his head slightly lowered, listening to Shen Liuzhen's nonsense, and after a while he found out the county magistrate's name and background.
