Gu Rao first took Bie Ye to the restaurant to freshen up, changed into clean clothes, and after a full meal, he boarded the boat with him and went home.

What they didn't know was that not long after they boarded the boat, a handsome man with a foreign face rushed to Donghuang County and went to the Yamen.

After learning that the man had been released, the man sat on the horse and gave the county magistrate a meaningful look.

"Good luck to you."

After saying this, he rode away.

Xin Guanghui wiped the sweat from his forehead, and cursed in a low voice, "Why do one or two eunuchs come to meddle in the affairs of this county?"

"It's too disrespectful to the official!"

"This is the official's territory. It's fine for the prefect of Ningzhou to intervene. What's the matter with the prefect of Guan Bingzhou? He wants to come all the way here?"

As a small county magistrate and a bigger sesame seed, he can only play wild in Donghuang County. Outside of Donghuang County, he is nothing and can't afford to offend anyone.

The master next to him looked suspiciously at the group of people going away.

It wasn't until the county magistrate twisted his arm that he came back to his senses.

Xin Guanghui glared at him dissatisfied, and said dissatisfiedly, "I was talking to you just now, are you deaf?"

Master scratched his head.

"What did your lord just say?"

These words earned Xin Guanghui a slap in the face.

"Why do I have such a stupid master like you, you can change someone if you want!"

The master begged for mercy, "My lord, please be kind, the villain was just shocked by Master Liu's appearance just now."

Xin Guanghui showed a disgusted expression.

"You are a big man, why do you pay so much attention to a man's appearance?"

Suddenly realized something, moved away from the master, rubbed the goose bumps on his arms, and asked disgustedly, "You don't like men, do you?"

The master's expression was indescribable.

"how is this possible?"

Even if he really has that kind of obsession, it is impossible for him to fall in love with you, a middle-aged man with a greasy face and big ears. Of course, he dare not say this.

He was afraid of being scratched alive by Xin Guanghui, who became angry from embarrassment.

"The little one is just a little surprised at Master Liu's youth."

"Although I haven't met Mr. Liu, my brother works under Mr. Liu. I heard him mention that Mr. Liu is in his 40s. I thought he was a middle-aged man. I didn't expect Mr. Liu to take care of him so well. Next year looks so young."

Xin Guanghui was stunned for a moment.

"Forties?"

Master nodded.

"Exactly!"

"Although it does sound a bit absurd, the little one is absolutely not lying. The little brother is really working under Mr. Liu. So it's possible that he doesn't know how old Mr. Liu is?"

His brother was very talented since he was a child. Although he had no ability to earn fame, he was still appreciated by Mr. Liu and became his disciple.

On the contrary, he himself has no ability, his reading is half-baked, and he does everything he does. He has been a wine bag for most of his life, and he has no ambitions and ideals. He is satisfied with being a teacher in a small county all his life.

It was because of his brother's relationship that he had the opportunity to become the magistrate of Donghuang County.

Xin Guanghui frowned.

Of course he knew that Master Liu's brother was working under Mr. Liu, so he couldn't be mistaken, and he was confident that Master would not dare to deceive himself, let alone lie about this matter.

But, it's ridiculous!
"I haven't heard that the prefect of Bingzhou has been replaced. It's impossible for him to be in his 40s with that tender face!"

The master was also taken aback.

"Could it be that it has only been changed not long ago, and you haven't had time to get the news, sir?"

Suddenly, I was a little worried about my elder brother.

The elder brother only wrote back to him last month, and the letter did not mention the promotion of the prefect of Bingzhou. Now that the prefect of Bingzhou has changed, can the elder brother continue to work for the new prefect?
Although the man just now was young, he was very deep, making it hard to see what he was thinking, so he shouldn't be easy to get along with.

Xin Guanghui waved his hand.

"What does it have to do with this county magistrate, even if he hasn't been replaced yet?"

After that, he left.

At this moment, a young servant ran to Shiye and handed a letter into the master's hands.

Seeing the signature, the master felt relieved.

It's a letter from my brother.

After opening it and reading it, his pupils shrank violently, he immediately squeezed the letter paper tightly, and raised his head to chase the county magistrate who was walking slowly because he was too fat.

"Sir, it's not good!"

"Bingzhou has fallen, and the prefect of Bingzhou is dead!"

Xin Guanghui was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.

"Dead... dead?"

"Then the person just now was...?"

"ghost?"

The master said anxiously, "The blue sky is bright, how could there be ghosts? The person just now should be a fake who picked up the eunuch's identity token!"

Xin Guanghui slapped him again.

"An important thing like an identity token is carefully hidden when it is not in use. How could it be left outside and picked up?"

His brain was finally wise for a while.

"Since the prefect of Bingzhou is dead, his identity token should have been taken away by people from Lingguo. The person just now should be from Lingguo!"

The master was so shocked that he took a while to digest the news.

"However, even if the identity token of the prefect of Bingzhou is taken away by people from Lingguo, it should only be obtained by people with high status in Lingguo. He only brought a team of ten people, and he dared to come to our Eastern Emperor. Isn't the boundary of the county too arrogant?"

Xin Guanghui's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yup!"

"This is a great opportunity to make meritorious deeds! Since that man dares to bring so few people here, let's let him go forever!"

"Come on, I want to write a letter to the prefect!"

"Hurry up!"

That person must be still on his way now, and he didn't leave the boundary of Ningzhou so soon. As long as I let the prefect know about it before he leaves, and the prefect sends troops to arrest him, I will have made a great contribution, maybe Is expected to be promoted!

No matter how bad it is, you can change to a richer place to be a county magistrate!

After the letter was finished and sent out, Xin Guanghui was in a good mood, and pretended to be concerned, "Your brother works under the prefect of Bingzhou. The prefect is dead, so he won't..."

He patted his career on the shoulder.

"I am sorry for your loss."

The master smiled and shook his head.

"My elder brother deserves to die. The day before the city gate of Bingzhou was forced, he happened to be sent out by the prefect of Bingzhou to handle some errands. Only then did he have the opportunity to write to me to tell me the news."

After Bingzhou was occupied by the people of Lingguo, the city gate was closed, and the people inside couldn't get out at all. His eldest brother is still hiding in the homes of the local people.

only……

Although he escaped by chance, what if the people of Lingguo go crazy and find them?
"Lord County Magistrate, for the sake of the young one telling you this news, can you send a few people to protect the safety of the youngest brother, and take him to Donghuang County for a while?"

Xin Guanghui nodded perfunctorily.

"it is good."

"The officer will send someone to pick him up."

Then he turned his head to look at the yamen servants, and casually pointed to the two who looked a little thinner, "You, and you, you two go pick up his elder brother."

He didn't know if the team just now would come back. If he did, he would have to keep more people around him to protect his safety.

At such a critical moment, he didn't want to send out someone who could protect him.
