The servants of the yamen were greatly surprised. Apart from the emperor and a few important officials in the current Song court, who else would dare to come to the Nanya office so arrogantly to call the governor to see him?

The head of the team was cautious by nature, and asked tentatively: "I didn't ask for advice...Who are you?"

"Xu Zizhen."

Several yamen servants were startled, and they all pulled out their knives to surround Xu Zizhen. Last night, Kaifeng Mansion dispatched more than 30 arresters, but they were all crippled in the end. They are all rare, but not long after the day broke, the principal culprit who was hunted down by them came to the door by himself, how could they not be surprised.

Xu Zizhen was very calm, glanced at the servants, and hummed: "Why, are all the servants who can be in the southern government like this? I don't have time to talk nonsense, let your governor come to see me."

All the yamen servants looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally fixed their eyes on the squad leader. The squad leader gritted his teeth and thought for a moment, then turned around and entered the gate with a stomp.

……

Xu Bingzhe has been very aggrieved these past few days. Originally, he was transferred from that poor place in Qinzhou to Kaifeng Mansion. It should be a great joy for him. These two mansions are not at the same level at all, but after entering Jingzhao Mansion, It seemed that things were going wrong for him all the time. First, his old mother and wife met a liar in Jingzhao Mansion, and they were used as gunmen to defraud silk cloth worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. , there is no reason to say other than losing the full amount of money, the key is not here, my old mother didn't know if she was in a hurry after being cheated, and actually slapped the most beloved concubine of the left-behind adult on the spot. Xia really caused a lot of trouble, and in the end it was his old friend He Fuyin who came forward to talk and lose more money before giving up.

Originally, this matter had already made him unhappy, but he did not expect that yesterday, the first day he officially took office, he received news that a fugitive prisoner appeared in Bianjing, and after investigation, he turned out to be in Lanzhou Xu Zizhen, who escaped abruptly from him in front of the Jincheng Pass outside the city, was the person whom his benefactor, Mr. Wang Fu, took special care of to kill. How could he dare to be negligent, so he ordered two squads of Kaifeng Mansion, a total of 36 people, to hunt him down. , As a result, Xu Zizhen didn't get a single hair on his leg. On the contrary, all the arresters were injured.

It was a loss of face to encounter this unlucky incident on the first day of taking office, and it made him extremely annoyed. Xu Bingzhe didn't sleep well all night, and he woke up early this morning thinking about sending someone to hunt down Xu Zizhen again. Then he tortured him well before killing him, so that he could vent the bad breath in his heart.

At this time, Xu Bingzhe was frowning in the inner hall and meditating, but he heard someone coughing lightly outside the door: "My lord, there are people outside the house asking to see you."

Xu Bingzhe was thinking about something, and asked casually, "Who is it?"

The team leader outside the door stammered: "Xu...Xu Zizhen."

With a bang, the study door was suddenly opened, and Xu Bingzhe stood inside the door in shock and anger: "Who are you talking about? Xu Zizhen?"

The team leader was startled, and said in a muttered voice, "Exactly."

Xu Bingzhe was so angry that his eyes popped out: "Don't you know who Xu Zizhen is? He even came to sue the government? Why don't you take it with me first?"

"My lord, forgive me. I naturally know about Xu Zizhen, but...but he seems to have something to tell my lord. I don't dare to act rashly. It's better for my lord to interrogate myself." The level, the words are simple and clear.

Xu Bingzhe also calmed down immediately. Although he is a treacherous official, his brain is good after all, and he thought of the key point in a second. He still came to Kaifeng Mansion to meet him by name, is he crazy?Or is there a big backstage?

He made a judgment in an instant: "Bring him to the inner hall."

"Yes."

It didn't take long for Xu Zizhen to follow in, and the four yamen servants at the side followed him, but surrounded him in four corners. Xu Zizhen didn't care about it, and walked calmly. Confused, looking at Xu Zizhen's confident look, which god is behind him?

Xu Zizhen walked up to him and smiled slightly: "Master Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time, you look good."

Xu Bingzhe's face sank: "Hmph! Xu Zizhen, counting how courageous you are, this government is going to arrest you, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Zizhen suddenly waved his hand and interrupted: "Come on, don't give me a bureaucratic accent, you can read this before we talk." He said and threw a silk brocade bag.

Xu Bingzhe grabbed it. It was a small silk bag with a bright red background, and the word "ang" was neatly embroidered on the mouth of the bag. When he opened the bag, there was a folded letter paper inside. He opened it suspiciously, but suddenly His complexion changed drastically—there were only a few lines on the letter paper, but none of them he could understand, but he could tell that this was Jurchen script!

He put away the letter paper abruptly, pointed at Xu Zizhen and said in a trembling voice: "You..."

Xu Zizhen smiled coldly, and interrupted him again: "Master Xu, since you already know who I am, why don't you invite me into the inner room to talk?"

Xu Bingzhe took a deep breath, turned sideways and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Xu, please."

Several yamen servants looked at each other, they were all dumbfounded, but when they were in charge of the affairs of adults, if they couldn't figure out what they couldn't understand, they just pretended they didn't see it, but Xu Bingzhe immediately gave them another wink and asked them to follow along with him. When he came in, he didn't have the courage to talk to Xu Zizhen alone, even if it was just a few yamen servants, anyway, these people wouldn't talk about it everywhere, and besides, he wasn't afraid to talk about it.

As soon as he entered the inner hall, Xu Bingzhe gave Xu Zizhen the upper seat, with an extremely respectful expression, and said in a low voice: "Forgive me, my lord, I don't know Jurchen literature, so I don't know what this letter is about, and who wrote it. Please, my lord, inform."

Xu Zizhen sat down loudly, raised his legs and gave him a sideways glance: "This is a letter written by Wanyan Ang, the young prince of the Dajin Kingdom. The content is very simple, just let me come to Bianjing to have a look. What do you want to see specifically?" You don’t need to know, just cooperate with me and don’t make trouble for me.”

"Young...young prince?" Xu Bingzhe gasped. He didn't know Jurchen, but he knew who the young prince was. Wanyan Ang is the youngest younger brother of the current emperor of the Kingdom of Jin. , has a very good reputation and connections in the Kingdom of Jin, but he didn't understand all of a sudden, when did Xu Zizhen, a fugitive from the Song Dynasty, become the young prince of the Kingdom of Jin?

Xu Zizhen knew what he was thinking at a glance, and said with a sneer, "Is it strange? I am a golden man, and I mixed in Lanzhou to make Song and Xia fight more lively. Besides, I spent so much effort to get Wen Chengyan's Trust me, I was about to be introduced to King Kang, but you ruined the young prince's plan, Master Xu, what should you do?"
