Chapter 1747 Four Evils
Zhao Ning and Xia Wan's carriage was parked outside the city gate of Yanqing Pass. There were not many people and vehicles coming and going, but they all realized that although this carriage was not gorgeous enough, it was definitely recognizable.

Soon people in the city received the news, "What are you talking about? The new county magistrate has arrived at the gate of the city. This is impossible. Our people have been watching the road all the time, and we haven't found anyone?" Li Yueshan sat up straight from his chair all of a sudden, it was really hard for him to have such a fat belly, but he had such strength and speed.

"Brother, what is the relationship between us? How could I lie to you? It is true that the county magistrate is here. He is just at the gate of the city, and he will not enter the city. The carriage is marked, and the style of the carriage here is the same as ours. Different, with the appearance of a yamen servant."

"Although there is no attire or anything, it must be the county magistrate. This is trying to show us off. Let's go out and greet him quickly. At least we can't give him any excuses in the open." Landlord Sun Mingli was a little apprehensive. Said.

These two people can be said to be the overlords of Yanqing Pass. In addition to these two people, there is Yu Hongquan from Hong County, and Wu Qiu, the guard of Yanqing Pass. It is a hand covering the sky, doing all kinds of mischief, and doing all kinds of evil.

The county magistrates who came to Yanqingguan were either restricted and unable to do anything, or joined forces to become like them, or had no choice but to resign and go into seclusion. Anyway, none of them could shake the steel barrier formed by these four people.

As a result, Yanqingguan has not been able to pay taxes in full for more than ten years, and has asked the court for resources in materials and armaments year after year. In fact, all of them went into the pockets of these four people or these four families.

This time, Zhao Ning, the number one scholar in the gold department, was actually appointed to Yanqingguan, and he was also a celebrity in front of the new emperor, and even a son-in-law. Such a person came to Yanqingguan to serve as the county magistrate, which also made the four of them very nervous. So preparations were made early, but Zhao Ning and Xia Wan unexpectedly appeared outside Yanqing Pass so suddenly.

"Where are Lieutenant Hong and General Wu? We want to go together, we can't just go there, there is also the princess who was personally appointed by the emperor, this is a trouble." The rich man Li touched himself Said the big belly.

"Someone has already sent a notice. It is estimated that this meeting is already rushing to the gate of the city. If we don't start, we will be late. It is always bad." Landlord Sun and Rich Man Li are related by marriage, so the relationship is also the closest.

"Prepare the sedan chair quickly." Rich Man Li shouted quickly, and the two quickly got into the sedan chair and went to the gate of the city one after the other.

Zhao Ning and Xia Wan only waited for a little more than a quarter of an hour before they arrived at County Yu Hong Daquan and General Wu Qiu. These two men came on horseback, which was always faster than taking a sedan chair.

"My subordinate, Hong Daquan, has met the county magistrate and Princess Xiao'an. I come down late, and I hope that the lord and the princess will forgive me." Hong Daquan jumped off the horse and said on one knee. This county captain is responsible for the safety and protection of the entire Yanqing Pass. Work, of course, is under the county magistrate.

"Commander Wu Qiu, I have met Master Li and Princess Xiao'an." The status of Wu Qiu as a general is basically equal to that of the county magistrate in Yanqingguan, but with the princess Xia Wan here, Wu Qiu can only Dismounted to salute.
