Guizhen

Chapter 220 Resolve
Is he unable to control his official position, or even keep his head?Prefect Mao swallowed his saliva.A good night's sleep clears his mind a lot.

But it was also because of this that Mao Zhifu felt deeply terrified.If the prince abandons the pawn to protect the handsome man, then he is the one who was abandoned.

Seeing the slight change in Mao Zhifu's face, Song Xiao couldn't help laughing, "What are you afraid of?" His tone was relaxed, as if he was saying "the weather is fine" and "the food is delicious".

Is it that obvious?Magistrate Mao squeezed out a smile, "I'm not afraid. It's just...someone poisoned the government office last night. If it wasn't for Wu Dewei's vigilance, the consequences would be disastrous."

Hearing this, Song Xiao's face turned black.

Wu Dewei is really in the way.Why can't they die for good people?A bunch of nosy bums.

Look, the prince was also frightened.Prefect Mao reassured: "Fortunately nothing major happened."

Song Xiao rolled his eyes and the magistrate said, "If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed. You are also a lucky one."

Not to mention those who are lucky or not.But please get over the hurdle in front of you first.Magistrate Mao gave Song Xiao a wry smile, "Let Wu Dewei investigate the person who poisoned him. That...the case of Yuyang Temple must be concluded before the arrival of Lu Qin."

Song Xiao hummed, and signaled Mao Zhifu with his eyes to continue talking.

"The remnants of the Xuantian faction are bold and reckless." Mao Zhifu showed a flattering smile, "First, they bloodbathed Yuyang Temple, and then set fire to the farm that was linked to Prince Liang's residence."

Song Xiao twitched his brows, and asked slightly surprised: "Is there any connection with Prince Liang's Mansion?"

"That's right." Magistrate Mao said with a firm expression, "King Liang's eyeliner here is nothing more than to wait for an opportunity to do harm to you, my lord. King Liang is really going too far."

Song Xiao thought for a moment, then slowly nodded, "Just check it out as you wish. I guess it will take ten and a half months for the imperial envoy Lu to arrive. It's enough for you to check it out."

"Lu Wu's domestic goblin said that envoy Lu Qin has already set off." Mao Zhifu straightened his face and said solemnly: "It's not too late. If you have a conclusion earlier, the lower officials can have a clear conscience about those souls who died in vain in Yuyang Temple."

What a clear conscience.Song Xiao couldn't help chuckling, "Don't forget that there is Lu Wu. Although she was picked up, she is also the niece of the envoy Lu Qin. Can she just watch you fooling her uncle?"

Prefect Mao's complexion changed slightly.How could I forget this.I accidentally remembered the Tianshan snow lotus and 3000-year-old ginseng I gave to Lu Zhen, and I felt a dull pain in my chest.He was not even willing to taste the taste of the Tianshan snow lotus that was the size of a sea bowl.Lu Wu really dared to open his mouth like a lion!
"I don't believe it..." Magistrate Mao obviously lacked confidence, "Then show the evidence to convince her."

"The remnants of the Xuantian faction know spells." Song Xiao bent his lips, and looked at the magistrate Mao with deep meaning in his eyes, "Ordinary government officials can't catch it at all. Lu Wu has to go out in person."

There must be no remnants of the Xuantian faction.But Peng Laizi can get rid of Lu Zhen under the guise of the remnants of the Xuantian faction.When Lu Guan arrives, he will push all the blame away.

Mao Zhifu frowned and quickly let go, let go and frowned.Did the lord want to use a trick to make Lu Guan impatient?If Lu Guan is impatient, he must find someone to vent his anger on.And he was the unlucky guy who vented his anger on Lu Guan.The prince really wanted to let him go.

"Your Majesty, go back and find a way to convince Lu Wu." Magistrate Mao stood up and left his seat, "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about this matter."

He really had to come up with a plan.Keeping the official position is the second most important thing, and saving one's life is the only serious thing.

Song Xiao hummed, "Go."

Mao Zhifu left Wu Wangfu anxiously.This trip is not wrong.At least find out the real intention of the prince.But...it's useless to know.The emperor's old son is the prince's own father, and if something goes wrong, it's because the people below didn't do their best.Just rubbing a few officials will pick the prince clean.

He must not sit still.Want to find a way out, but... how can there be a way?

Prefect Mao got into the car and closed his eyes tiredly.The wheels moved forward slowly, and the magistrate Mao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, why not...write a letter to ask Cen Xiaochuan what he meant?
He and Cen Xiaochuan had known each other for a while.Cen Xiaochuan was also a Jinshi.But instead of setting foot in officialdom, he returned home to serve his parents.Cen Xiaochuan had advised him more than once before that the king of Wu was not a wise master, and told him that he might as well be a county magistrate and wait for promotion.Even if you don't get promoted to the magistrate for a lifetime, it's much better than looking at King Wu's face.However, magistrate Mao thought that Cen Xiaochuan was jealous of his official career, so he laughed at what he said and ignored it at all.The two of them also gradually lost contact.Later Cen Xiaochuan voted for Mr. Tang.I met him several times during dinner parties, but Cen Xiaochuan was not warm to him.There is no need for him to put his hot face on someone's cold ass.

This is what makes the authorities obsessed and the bystanders clear.At this moment, magistrate Mao secretly hated himself for not listening to Cen Xiaochuan's advice.If you listened to Cen Xiaochuan's words, even if you are still a small county magistrate, you don't have to worry about your life.Prefect Mao also hated himself for being single-minded.In order to repay the prince's kindness, he devoted himself to serving the prince without any second thoughts.Right now, the prince is clearly unreliable.He has no one else to rely on.

It's too late to regret, it's too late to regret!

Mao Zhifu was so upset that he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

……

Tang Zhao clamped the letter between his fingers and laughed dumbly.

"Old Gao couldn't hold his breath at all. What does Lu Guancha Yuyangguan's murder have to do with me?" He raised his eyebrows and looked at Taoist Qing Qing who was sitting cross-legged with slightly drooping eyes, "Didn't you help me find a beauty who matches my horoscope? ?”

Taoist Qingjing exhaled turbid air, looked up at Tang Zhao, "It's really not easy to resolve this calamity."

Tang Zhao looked nervous, "Could it be...can't resolve it?" He panicked all of a sudden.If it can't be resolved, wouldn't the sky want to kill him?
"Your Excellency, don't worry." Taoist Qingjing raised the dust in his hand, "You have absorbed Ning's luck and made your official career prosperous. Now this catastrophe is just a small blockage that was expected."

"That's what you told me before." Tang Zhao nodded, "Of course I don't worry if you're here. But...it's too late if you don't resolve it." He unfolded the letterhead to Taoist Qingjing, "Your Majesty sent an imperial envoy to investigate The case of Yuyangguan, how can we know if Ning's family will be investigated together? And in Ruizhou... I don't know if Qi Fengnian will be as restless as Lao Gao."

"So what if you can't hold your breath?" Taoist Taoist twirled her snow-white long eyebrows, "Just doing a ritual can make your luck flourish again. No one can do anything to you."

"Really?" Tang Zhao asked impatiently, "How long will it take to find a beauty with a matching horoscope?"

"Don't be restless, my lord." Taoist Qingjing's eyes were clear, with a smile on his lips, "The one I'm looking for this time is someone with profound morality. In short, he is a warlock."

Warlock?Tang Zhao showed embarrassment, "I'm not good at Longyang. This...is really hard for me."
