In a certain courtyard, Zhang Maoan rubbed his hands anxiously, walking back and forth in the lobby.

Seeing Xiao Yuanlang coming in from the outside, his eyes lit up, he took three steps in parallel, and grabbed his sleeve.

"Prince Wang, are you back? How is the situation outside?"

Xiao Yuanlang glanced expressionlessly at his hand holding his sleeve, and a flash of hostility flashed in his eyes.

Flick his hand away with the handle of the fan.

The tone spoke lightly.

"Master Zhang, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that the rumors outside are too tight. Now besides Zhou Shu and Wen Yuting, there is also Sun Yao who is secretly watching you."

"The next merchant, how can he have the ability to send you out of Xiangzhou City?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the light in Zhang Maoan's eyes dimmed.

She followed behind him step by step, saw that he sat in the chair in a leisurely manner, bent down quickly and poured a cup of tea, and handed it to him.

"Young Master Wang, since you can have someone rescue me from the county office, you must have a way to send me out of the city."

He smiled obsequiously and complimented him in a low voice.

Xiao Yuanlang played with the fan with both hands, noncommittal to his words.

Seeing the play, Zhang Maoan's posture became more humble, and even squatted down at his feet to beat his legs.

Xiao Yuanlang was very disdainful of his soft-boned and lack of ambition.

With sarcasm in his eyes, he slowly retracted his legs, avoiding his hand beating his legs.

"Master Zhang, you are the magistrate of the county. How dare you trouble me to serve you as the next commoner merchant."

"My lord, you are my savior, you deserve it." Zhang Mao'an squeezed out a flattering smile with that greasy face.

There was only a slit left in the eyes, but when he smiled again, he immediately squeezed into a ball with the fat on his face, leaving only a small black spot.

Xiao Yuanlang gave a half-smile, holding the handle of the fan and nodded between his eyebrows.

"Master Zhang is such a respectful and virtuous corporal, he is a good parent officer. Even if I risk my life, I will definitely help Master Zhang escape from death."

His words are tantamount to giving Zhang Maoan a reassurance.

Immediately nodded and kowtowed to thank him, without a trace of literati style.

Xiao Yuanlang stared at his fat body and narrowed his eyes.

Then he stretched out his foot and kicked him on the shoulder.

Zhang Maoan was kicked three steps away, but he was not annoyed, he was still smiling, like a dog, he used both hands and feet, and crawled to his feet after a while.

"My lord, if you like it, kick me a few more times."

As he spoke, he held Xiao Yuanlang's right foot with both hands, and greeted himself.

It's boring, it's boring.

The corners of Xiao Yuanlang's mouth drooped immediately, straightening into a straight line, there was no warmth in his eyes.

stared at him like a dead man.

Zhang Maoan was flustered by his staring eyes, and he was in a cold sweat.

Except for his heavy breathing, there was no sound in the hall, it was quiet, deathly silent.

It took about half a cup of tea.

The confidant quickly came from outside, walked up to Zhang Maoan, knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Yuanlang, and complained.

"Master, it's done."

"Very good." Hearing this, Xiao Yuanlang held the fan and tapped his palm, his voice was extremely joyful, "This time, Zhou Shu is busy again."

Hearing that he was so happy, Zhang Maoan raised his head from the ground and glanced at him cautiously.

As soon as his small mung bean-sized eyes lifted his eyelids, Xiao Yuanlang caught him straight.

Xiao Yuanlang smiled, ignoring the fear in his eyes, and said with a loud smile: "Master Zhang, the matter of you going out of the city is over."

Zhang Maoan didn't understand how he could leave the city by himself.

Although he didn't understand, he couldn't help being happy when he heard that he was able to leave the city.

After thanking Xiao Yuanlang and getting his approval, he got up from the ground wiping his sweat and sat on a chair beside him.

Fang Cai really scared him to death.

Zhang Maoan wiped his sweat while thinking about the rest of his life.

His mouth was very parched, seeing Xiao Yuanlang talking with his confidants, he had no time to care about himself.

Picking up the teacup in hand like a thief, he took a sip.

Just as the warm tea moistened his mouth, before he could swallow it, Xiao Yuanlang called his name.

"Master Zhang."

"I'm here!" He was startled.

He hurriedly swallowed the tea in his throat, and choked because of his haste.

"Cough, cough cough—"

Xiao Yuanlang frowned unexpectedly, covering his face with a fan.

This time, Zhang Maoan didn't even dare to cough.

He covered his mouth with both hands desperately, suppressing the itching in his throat.

A big fat face was flushed.

Seeing his funny appearance, his confidant almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

Because of Xiao Yuanlang, he was forced to hold back.

Xiao Yuanlang squinted at his confidants beside him, his voice was cold, "Laugh if you want to."

The confidant shook his head, but when he saw Zhang Mao'an in the blink of an eye, he couldn't help it and laughed out loud.

"Hahaha--"

Zhang Maoan was ridiculed mercilessly, he dared not speak out, now that he is under the fence, even a servant dares to disrespect him.

After he goes out, he must...

"Master Zhang, what are you thinking so engrossed in?"

Before he could finish thinking about the rhetoric and thunderous tactics that must follow, Xiao Yuanlang interrupted him with a deadpan expression.

Of course he dared not tell the truth.

"I'm just thinking about how to thank you, Mr. Wang?"

Xiao Yuanlang stared at his expression, and said "Oh" half-believingly, without delving into the truth of what he said.

Tapping the center of his eyebrows with a fan, he said in a little distress: "If Mr. Zhang really wants to thank me, now is a good opportunity."

Zhang Maoan: "What good opportunity?"

"The mountain behind Siyi County has collapsed." He answered the wrong question.

Now, Zhang Maoan was even more confused.

The mountain collapsed, what does it have to do with him?
Seeing the confusion in his heart, Xiao Yuanlang winked at his confidant.

The confidant immediately understood, took a step forward, and said to Zhang Mao'an: "Master Zhang does not know something. There is a cave on the mountain behind Siyi County. It is three feet high and bottomless. There was an explosion in that cave this morning. There was a lot of scrap iron left at the site.”

If so, click till now.

Zhang Mao'an had been the county magistrate for more than ten years anyway, so he immediately understood what was tricky.

Where is that cave?That was evidence of Sun Yao's treason.

Seeing that he understood, Xiao Yuanlang waved his fan and asked: "Master Zhang, you have been an official for decades, can you figure out the reason?"

He pretended to be confused, pretending to understand, and wanted Zhang Maoan to take over the job himself.

He said to "ask" him for help, but if he dared not agree, let alone going out of the city, it is not known whether he can survive today.

Zhang Maoan quickly calculated in his heart, and after calculating the priorities, he dragged his fat body to Xiao Yuanlang, and bowed to him.

"That guy Sun Yao has been entrenched in Xiangzhou for many years. He extorted violently and acted like a dominator. He even dared to make a decision on the relief money sent by the imperial court. I am in a low position, and I have no choice but to be threatened by him. Now he is actually Dare to forge weapons privately with the intention of plotting rebellion, as a citizen of Daliang, I must not just watch him ruin the country and bring harm to the people."

Xiao Yuanlang waved his fan nonchalantly, "Master Zhang is a man of integrity, I admire you."

"As for the next merchant, if you want to expose Sun Yao's conspiracy, you can only rely on Mr. Zhang."
