Chapter 320 The Sixth Carriage

Wang Lingzhi and Zhou Zhiming walked out of the county government office side by side, the two talked for a while, and when the prepared carriage arrived, they got on the horse together, planning to go out of the city to meet Wei Wenjie, the capital of Longtingwei.Hearing Zhou Zhiming's words, Wang Lingzhi didn't intend to summon the gentry and elders of Lu County to go together, and there is no county magistrate in Lu County. Zhang Jin didn't have the habit of eating people's hearts, so he fed the warm and bleeding heart to the dog.

The carriage is the one Wang Lingzhi himself rides in on weekdays. It has been specially cleaned and the cushions inside have been replaced with new ones. Don't talk too much, just treat yourself as a dumb person.

Just when he was about to go on the road, he suddenly heard someone in the back line yell: "Who is it!"

When everyone heard the sound, they turned their heads to look, but they saw a cold arrow shooting straight at the carriage of the carriage. Zhou Zhiming's face turned cold and he ordered loudly: "Check!"

The twenty Longting guards who followed him dispersed immediately, and then saw a black shadow flashing away on the roof of the residential house.Long Tingwei deserved to be a court guard, everyone's skills should not be underestimated, and they quickly chased after the figure, almost at the moment the man jumped off the roof, the crossbows in their hands also raised I got up, but unfortunately the man moved so fast that he didn't have time to pull the trigger.

Zhou Zhiming looked over there coldly, then looked back at Wang Lingzhi.

Wang Lingzhi was taken aback by this look, and he quickly explained: "There is a giant bandit Wang Bo in Jibei County. Since the county magistrate died in battle, he knows the determination of the army and people in this county to fight to the death. , but there are still many thieves sneaking into the city, public security... this public security has not been very good."

Perhaps Zhou Zhiming knew that Wang Lingzhi was also in trouble, but he didn't make it difficult for him: "The county lord can go to meet the captain first, since the assassin is here, I can't pretend to ignore it. I won't go with you, I will lead someone to search , I have to go back and set up guards at the place where the captain is going to live. In addition, please leave a few government servants in this county, I need them to lead the way and search."

"Okay! I'll leave a few clever ones behind. If that's the case...then I'll go first, just..."

Wang Lingzhi glanced at Zhou Zhiming.

Zhou Zhiming smiled and said: "Don't worry, the county lord, I will not tell Lord Captain about this matter."

"Thank you!"

Wang Lingzhi clasped his fists gratefully, and then took the carriage and entourage out of the city, and walked south along the official road to meet Wen Jie.He walked quite urgently, as if he was afraid that the assassin who appeared out of nowhere just now would indiscriminately shoot him another arrow. As for whether he could catch that person, he didn't really care much.As for whether he is Wang Bo's subordinate or not, he doesn't care so much.It would be really stupid to use such an excuse. Anyway, the people of Longtingwei would never go to Wang Bo to argue.

After Wang Lingzhi left, Zhou Zhiming looked at the remaining yamen servants, then pointed to the courtyard where the assassin escaped and asked, "Who lives in that courtyard?"

"My lord, it's the Zhou family, a wealthy family in this city."

"Is your surname also Zhou?"

Zhou Zhiming nodded and said, "Lead the way ahead, I'll go and have a look!"

Several yamen servants responded quickly, and trotted ahead to lead the way.Zhou Zhiming urged the horse to follow behind, and after turning around a small alley, the main entrance of the Zhou family was located.The leading yamen servant smiled obsequiously and said, "My lord, do you want me to check it first?"

Zhou Zhiming nodded and said: "That's fine, but don't be rough. Although the assassin is hiding on the roof of his house, it doesn't mean he has any connection with his family. Ask carefully, I'll wait for you here .”

A few yamen servants responded quickly and ran forward, suddenly a dozen or so Longting guards in brocade clothes rushed out from the opposite street, those yamen servants knew they couldn't be provoked, so they quickly got out of the way and stood by the side of the road.Who would have thought that when those Longting guards passed by them, they would suddenly get off their horses and knock down those yamen servants to the ground with lightning speed, without using a horizontal knife, they even pulled out a rope and strangled them to death.

Zhou Zhiming made a gesture, and the corpses of those yamen servants were immediately dragged into a small alley.Not long after, a few people who changed into yamen uniforms came out of the alley again.Zhou Zhiming nodded to them, and the yamen servants went directly to the county yamen.

At this time, a man in black jumped down from the roof, holding a hard bow in his hand.

Zhou Zhiming nodded to the man, and the man quickly changed into ordinary people's clothes, turned around and walked towards the main street of Lu County.Zhou Zhiming ordered a few words in a low voice, and the remaining Longting guards immediately urged their horses to leave, and soon the alley was quiet again.

……

……

Wang Lingzhi led his entourage and walked straight along the official road, and it didn't take long to meet Wen Jie's brigade.When Wang Lingzhi saw the teams of soldiers from the Sui Dynasty, Wang Lingzhi took a deep breath.I thought that this article was really a big ostentation, a eunuch went north, unexpectedly brought so many elite soldiers.

It's just that he didn't dare to show it on his face, and stood humbly by the side of the road after dismounting.

When Wen Jie came up on horseback, Wang Ling recognized him at a glance.Although I just glanced at him 11 years ago with trepidation, there are very few men in this world who are more beautiful than women. Coupled with the dark aura that seems to be inherent in Wen Jie, it is indeed unforgettable.

"Your Majesty, Wang Lingzhi, magistrate of Lu County, pay my respects to the Captain!"

Seeing Wen Jie approaching, Wang Lingzhi immediately gave a deep bow.

"Are you the magistrate of Lu County?"

Wen Jie glanced at him, frowned slightly and said, "How do you know it's me?"

Wang Lingzhi didn't hear the meaning revealed in this sentence, maybe because of nervousness, maybe because of fear, in short, if he was careful enough, he would definitely think of something from this sentence.It's a pity, how could he be calm at this time?In fact, the moment he saw Wen Jie, his hands were shaking all the time.

"The lower official should have greeted the captain early, but it has been raining for several days, and the lowly position is afraid that it will affect your rest, so I waited until today to come out of the city to pick you up. Please forgive me, the captain."

Hearing what he said, Wen Jie didn't suspect anything, he smiled faintly and said: "I'm sorry to bother the county magistrate, I planned to visit after entering the city, but I didn't expect you to be well informed, if that's the case, then You and I will enter the city together."

"The lower officer knows that you must be exhausted from a long distance, and you have experienced the rain, so you specially brought a carriage here. If you don't mind, Captain, please get in the car. It is only three or five miles from here to the county seat. My lord, please rest in the car for a while."

Wen Jie thought that this person was a sensible person, but he was afraid that the county magistrate had arranged some other scenes, such as the common people lining the road to welcome them, so he had no objection to the carriage.He was originally a very quiet person, and he was a little annoyed when he thought of the scene where the people gathered around the roadside to see his appearance and talk about his appearance, so he simply got off the horse and got into the carriage, then turned around and said to Wang Lingzhi: "I am really tired. Now, call me after you arrive at the county government."

The meaning of this sentence is obvious, it is telling Wang Lingzhi not to arrange any welcome ceremony.

Thinking of Zhou Zhiming's words before, Wang Lingzhi said that Wen Jie is indeed a quiet person.Fortunately, I gave Zhou Zhiming a bag of money, otherwise, if I sent many people to welcome him according to the custom of welcoming the boss, it would be counterproductive and annoy the most favored eunuch.

After Wen Jie got into the carriage and sat down, he suddenly sniffled, and then realized that sandalwood was still lit in the carriage, he smiled slightly, and thought that Wang Lingzhi was careful.The carriage started and shook slightly. After all, Wen Jie was already in his fifties. It was inevitable that he would be a little tired from the march these days, and sandalwood would help sleep, and the slight shaking of the car would also make people feel sleepy, so he I couldn't help but feel sleepy.

In the slight shaking, Wen Jie slowly closed his eyes.

The team restarted, Qing Yuan and Huang Luan rode on horses, one left and one right followed the two sides of the carriage.In front is a team of Longting Guards leading the way, and behind them is a large group of people.Originally, Wang Lingzhi was still thinking about whether he could also take the opportunity to get in the car and get close to the captain. If possible, please ask him to say a few words in front of His Majesty to transfer him to another place, even if he is not promoted and transferred to Jiangnan. Well, this Jibei County is really messed up.

But after looking at those awe-inspiring Longting guards and the cold faces of those two beautiful girls, he still didn't dare to get close, so he had to follow the carriage back.

He was thinking in his heart, should the welcome banquet be more luxurious or simpler?

Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

The carriage compartment in front of him was torn apart, and a figure jumped out of the carriage.

This was so sudden that everyone was taken aback.

Qing Yuan and Huang Luan immediately got off their horses and rushed over, only to see Wen Jie holding a long, narrow and sharp steel knife in his hand, standing in the middle of the official road, squinting his eyes slightly, his face was a little pale, and his figure was even shaking a bit.

"Sandalwood is poisonous."

Wen Jie looked at Wang Lingzhi who was stunned and fell off the horse, sighed and said softly.

……

……

Wen Jie smashed the carriage into pieces with a single blow, his arrogance was unmatched.The horses around the carriage jumped to the side in fright, and many cavalrymen fell off because they couldn't control the horses.

During the Sui Dynasty, lower-level officials did not have to kneel and salute when they saw superior officials. Even when the emperor was in court, the officials did not have to kneel and salute.But when Wang Lingzhi woke up, his legs softened and he knelt down involuntarily.His body was trembling violently, his face was pale.
