Chapter 206 Neither Left nor Right

Xie Yuan lowered his head and slandered from behind, Shen Liuzhen's ability to chat with anyone as a confidant is probably rare.

Just like that, Shen Liuzhen and Captain Wang walked in front side by side. The two chatted happily. Xie Yuan was dressed in women's clothes, kept his head down, clasped his hands in front of him, and followed behind with small steps.

When they arrived at the entrance of the inn, Liu Qinbing had already packed up the carriage and stopped at the gate to wait for them.

When Shen Liuzhen got into the carriage, Xie Yuan thought about his current identity, but he didn't go up, and stood at the window of the carriage.

Unexpectedly, Shen Liuzhen stuck his head out of the car window, glanced at Xie Yuan, then walked past her with a smile, and asked Captain Wang:

"Brother Wang, is it far from the county government office? If it's far away, come and sit together, it's convenient for us to talk."

"No, no, Mr. Shen, you're welcome. We'll be there in a while." Captain Wang said, walked a few steps forward, approached the carriage, and said, "I'm closer so I don't hinder my conversation."

Xie Yuan quickly gave up his position and stepped back to make room for Captain Wang.

Then Shen Liuzhen obediently opened the car window, looked at Captain Wang, and the two talked enthusiastically all the way until they reached the gate of the county government.

"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and it is inseparable to sit in the court, so I, an idler with eyes, was sent out to take a look for him. It's not a big deal." Shen Liuzhen said very flatly.

Along the way, he not only inquired about the news as much as possible, but also revealed his own identity, especially the fact that he was His Majesty's companion and grew up together.

It can be regarded as a reminder to Captain Wang and the county magistrate, and to add another bargaining chip to their own safety.

It was already dawn at this time, and the sky was glowing with a cold blue color.

Captain Wang clasped his fists and said apologetically, "Lord Shen, wait a moment, let me go in and report something."

"Okay, Brother Wang, let's go." Shen Liuzhen said with a gentle smile.

Captain Wang knocked on the gate of the county mansion and went in. Only then did Xie Yuan take a step forward and stood in front of the car window.

Shen Liuzhen looked at her side face, seemed a little guilty, and asked softly, "A Yuan, are you tired?"

Xie Yuan rolled his eyes at Shen Liuzhen directly, his voice was also very low, and his tone was dissatisfied: "What do you think?"

The light in Shen Liuzhen's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."

Xie Yuan wasn't because she was left out, or because she didn't take a car, she couldn't stand Shen Liuzhen always asking these silly questions, so she pissed him off and said:
"I'm not tired, do you treat me like you, calling me tired after walking two steps?"

"Hey... I think so too." Shen Liuzhen pretended to sigh with his sleeves in his hands.

"I know you're still asking?"

"I'm afraid you're tired."

After being silent for a while, Xie Yuan said: "There is nothing else, just keep your head down, your neck is so tired and uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Shen Liuzhen opened his eyes wide, and said with a smile: "Look up at me and talk...fool, it won't be exposed if you look up now."

Xie Yuan heard that he raised his head, raised his chin, turned his face slightly, and coldly glanced at Shen Liuzhen with his red phoenix eyes, and asked:
"Who do you call a fool?"

Shen Liuzhen was shocked immediately, his eyes wavered, he licked his lips and said, "I, I, I..."

He said so, but his eyes refused to leave Xie Yuan's face.

Because looking down from the height of the carriage, looking up at Xie Yuan with the end of his eyes, the corners of his eyes are slender, and the arcs of his eyes are more obvious.Unruly and lazy, it was so alluring that it made his heart pound.

He lay on the car window, wanting to see but afraid of being discovered.So he put down his hand, deliberately retreated, turned his body sideways and glanced ahead from time to time, and immediately stuck to Xie Yuan's body again.

Xie Yuan didn't feel it, she just wanted to move her neck while no one was around her.I'm not in the mood to care why Shen Liuzhen keeps looking at her.

Just like that, the two of them didn't speak, and after waiting for a while, there was still no movement in the county mansion, and Captain Wang didn't come out either.

"Why haven't you come out for so long?" Xie Yuan finally couldn't help asking.

"Well...the matter is a bit complicated after all, and there must be some time for people to discuss it." He paused for a while, then thought for a while and said, "This is a good thing, it shows that they are weighing and using their brains. It is better than thinking about nothing at first." , simply because we are afraid of the Xianbei people, it is better to put us in the prison directly."

But at this moment, in the county mansion, the county magistrate Liu County Magistrate here was wearing an official uniform with leather, not even a belt. The heavy weather made him sweat a lot.

Captain Wang looked at him and asked, "Master County Magistrate, what are you thinking about?"

County Magistrate Liu shook the letter in his hand, but it was more like a trembling of fear, and said: "As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Our place is under the control of the army. Offending him is no better than offending the emperor."

Upon hearing this, Captain Wang said anxiously: "Brother-in-law, didn't I explain everything to you just now? The water here is deep. Think about it, the assassin is from Xianbei. Just after he died, someone came to tip us off. Go and arrest people. This person has not been arrested yet, and this murder document ordering severe punishment for the murderer has come down. This is obviously using us as a knife. The crime of genocide is no joke..."

County Magistrate Liu said with a bitter face: "Then it won't work if you just let it go. It's not like you don't know how difficult it is for the Han people to be an official. The Xianbei people don't like you, and they want to kill you for a reason. Done. If we are so disobedient and openly disobey this order, the emperor's companion will be fine... We will never do well in the future."

"Then that person surnamed Shen must never be killed. Killing an imperial envoy is a serious crime. He must have ransacked his family and exterminated his family." Captain Wang stood in a different direction anxiously, clapping his hands at County Magistrate Liu.

"Then what do you say about this matter? Neither the left nor the right." County magistrate Liu shook the order paper, like shaking a reminder.

Captain Wang thought about it for a while when he heard this, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said: "There is one more thing, I forgot to mention, that young man named Shen Liuzhen told me from the beginning, let us send a few people, Notify several nearby military towns, saying that the imperial envoy is trapped here due to private affairs, and please ask a man named Lord Muhe to pick him up."

"Huh?" County magistrate Liu's eyes wandered for a moment, obviously not turning the corner, and asked, "So what?"

Captain Wang clapped his hands and said excitedly: "This is a trick. No matter what grievances he has with the Xianbei people, sending people to assassinate imperial envoys is not something that can be put on the table anyway. This dark Means, I am most afraid that many people will know about it. Let us follow his orders and spread the news, and then someone will stop it. As long as people come, it will be a matter between Xianbei people and Xianbei people, and it has nothing to do with small shrimps like us Already."
