Guizhen

Chapter 224
He also meant it.

But... Should I follow the path agreed with the prince?

When Governor Mao hesitated, Cen Xiaochuan reminded in a low voice, "Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to give it a go."

Fight?How to fight?He is a not very useful magistrate who can't beat the prince at all.Prefect Mao's palm was sweating, and it was sticky like a ball of paste clinging to his heart.

Cen Xiaochuan shook his head resentfully, because Huo Tutou was in front of him and didn't say much.

Huo Butou glanced at Cen Xiaochuan, and turned his gaze back to Mao Zhifu, "My lord, look..."

Prefect Mao nodded to Huo Butou, "I'll talk to Miss Lu Wu later."

That feeling is good.Huo Butou couldn't hide his joy, and asked Mao Zhifu with his eyes: Shall we go now?
Governor Mao couldn't ignore Huo Tutou's eager gaze, and said to Cen Xiaochuan, "I'll ask someone to take you to the flower hall for a while."

Cen Xiaochuan waved his hand, "I'm a little tired, I want to go back to the inn to rest. If you are free tomorrow, come and find me. I will leave in two or three days."

He still has a stomach full of bitter water.The magistrate Mao wanted to keep him but was afraid of delaying his official business.

Seeing that he was hesitant, Cen Xiaochuan insisted on leaving.The magistrate Mao had no choice but to follow him.The two agreed to eat pig's trotters tomorrow.

Ake looked at the two of Mao Cen and slapped his thigh, "I finally remembered."

Isn't that Tang Zhao's aide, Cen Xiaochuan?He has seen the portrait of Cen Xiaochuan!Ake picked up the snail essence and left.

……

"The little one will never admit his mistake." Ake was very sure, "It's Cen Xiaochuan."

Gao Tang glanced at Lu Zhen, "It seems that Tang Zhao can't sit still."

"I don't know what's going on in Ruizhou." Lu Zhen was a little worried that Sun Ke wouldn't be able to handle it, but she couldn't spare time here to check on Tang Zhao, and she couldn't rush to Ruizhou to help as soon as possible.

"If you haven't delivered the letter, it means you haven't checked it out yet." Gao Tang looked like someone who came here, "wait patiently. They didn't have a letter over there, but we have made some progress here. Since Tang Zhao sent Cen Xiaochuan to make friends with the magistrate Mao Let’s find out what’s true, let’s just be a favor.” He took a sip of his tea and told Ake, “You and Xiaobo add up, revealing some wind that can’t be distinguished from the truth to the surname Cen. You can’t tell him to run away in vain. one trip."

Ake solemnly nodded, "I understand."

Just as Lu Zhen was about to speak, the snail spirit shouted loudly at the door: "The magistrate is here, I'll go in and report, please wait a moment."

Gao Tang clicked his tongue and praised sincerely, "What a good seedling."

The snail essence came in and said to Gao Tang, "Master Zhifu, please see me."

"Please come in."

The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and it was heard by Mao Zhifu's ears, causing him to feel a sense of dryness for no reason.This is the government office, not Wu Dewei!Has it become the main thing for Gao Tang to turn against the guest?

Mao Zhifu rubbed his cheeks, trying not to look so angry.He had no choice but to ask Miss Lu Wu for help.How should she help?Convince her to blame the Xuantian faction or try to find out the culprit?

Prefect Mao really couldn't make up his mind.The snail essence walked briskly back to the magistrate Mao, "Master Gao, please go in."

This is the blatant dove occupying the magpie's nest!The corners of Mao Zhifu's lips were slightly curved, and he walked into the room with a smile, looked up at Gao Tang first, and then at Lu Zhen, "They are all here. Are you chatting?" Before coming, he cleaned his face, rinsed his mouth and changed his clothes, but there was still light wine gas.

"Have you had alcohol?" Lu Zhen frowned, "It's best not to drink alcohol for a month after drinking the talisman water."

Cold sweat slid down Mao Zhifu's forehead, why didn't he tell him last night?I only said after I finished drinking.

"Will this... be harmful?" Magistrate Mao was afraid for a while.What if Yangshou is lost?He still wants to work hard to live to one hundred and two.

"It's not a nuisance." Lu Zhen smiled and said, "It's nothing more than one or two years of weakness."

Hearing this, Mao Zhifu's knees became soft and he hurriedly found a nearby chair to sit down, "So... amazing?"

Lu Zhen said nonchalantly, "It's okay, anyway, you'll either be in a sedan chair or take a car when you go out, it won't affect much."

Who said it has little impact?Prefect Mao squeezed his sleeves and stamped his forehead.Forget it, now is not the time to talk about this.Do business first.

"Prefect Mao has heard about it." Lu Zhen's eyebrows showed a look of sadness, "The person who poisoned him died. The death is not clear. His family has not allowed the autopsy to be opened."

"I heard." Mao Zhifu replied absent-mindedly.

"I think it must be aimed at the magistrate." Lu Zhen looked at the magistrate with sympathy, "Seeing that my uncle will arrive soon, there is not even a decent witness in the Yuyangguan case. The magistrate If your lord is dead, if you can’t find out the new case and the old case, you will be blamed for the unfavorable case.” With a long sigh, shaking his head, he said: “At that time, rumors will spread, and my uncle will also If your majesty is tired of uncle, let alone a promotion, even the assistant minister will not be able to do it. This is killing two birds with one stone."

Gao Tang looked at Lu Zhen, and reprimanded in a bad voice: "Xiao Lu! What are you talking about? This is all your imagination, how can you mention it in front of the prefect."

"No, my lord." Lu Zhen puffed her cheeks, as if she had been wronged in a thousand ways, "How can it be said that I imagined it? The person who poisoned him has something to do with the farm."

Grange?Prefect Mao let out a snort.Huo Butou didn't elaborate just now.He didn't yet know what was going on at the Grange.

"It's the Zhuangzi that I burned." Lu Zhen straightened her back, her chin raised slightly proudly, "That Zhuangzi is the prince's private property."

Magistrate Mao twisted his beard, "According to me, Zhuangzi is owned by King Liang's eyeliner in Suzhou."

"King Liang?" Lu Zhen raised her eyebrows in surprise to look at Gao Tang, "Isn't it the private property of King Wu? Why is there another King Liang? Whose is it? Wu Dewei won't even be able to figure out such a trivial matter, right? ?”

King Wu?Governor Mao's unbelievable gaze also turned to Gao Tang.Hope he can give a definite answer.Gao Tang rolled her eyes at Lu Zhen with resentment, "You are the only one who speaks fast! You can talk about the prince's business?"

Lu Zhen was extremely wronged, her eyes were red and she lowered her head, her voice was muffled, "I'm also worried that the brothers made a mistake."

One sentence touched Gao Tang's Ni Lin, "Can such a big thing go wrong?"

Come on, it's King Wu!Mao Zhifu had mixed feelings in his heart.He never expected King Wu to be so cruel.She wanted to poison him to death.

No matter what the purpose is, it is certain that King Wu wants him to die.The difference is whether to die early or die late.Anyway, he won't save his life.

Mao Zhifu felt sad.For so many years, he has devoted himself to the prince.There is hard work without credit.Where is the prince?He felt that he was useless, so he simply found someone to kill him.

Master and servant are treated like this in exchange for one game.It would be a lie to say that it is not chilling.

Instead of sitting still and waiting to die, it is better to give it a go!
Cen Xiaochuan's voice still echoed in his ears.Prefect Mao was heartbroken.

fight!
