my ancient fool

Chapter 590
The official was a little distracted by the proprietress's teasing.

"What's going on?" The officer looked at Shen Yuanping and the two of them.

Shen Yuanping didn't want to waste any more time with these two people, so he took out his golden gate guard's token, "I caught these two people opening a black shop, you should be able to find the skeleton in their shop." Shen Yuanping said flatly.

"Yes, my lord!" The officer knelt on one knee and responded immediately.

"By the way, he's a man!" Shen Yuanping said quietly when passing by the official post.

The proprietress and the man collapsed on the ground with ashes on their faces, showing no sign of resistance anymore.

And the official servant seemed to have swallowed ten thousand flies, looking at the proprietress's eyes full of murderous intent.

Shen Yuanping took Mu Zhige into the city, first found a better inn, had breakfast and washed up.

The carriage needs to be customized and it takes three hours. Seeing this, Shen Yuanping decided to stay with Mu Zhige for one night and then set off the next day.

When the county magistrate heard the official report again, he was so frightened that the official hat almost fell off, "You said that person is holding a golden gate guard badge inlaid with gold?"

"Yes, my lord. That person is in his 40s, and there is a woman in her 20s right away." The official replied, not knowing why the lord was so panicked.

"Where did you go?" the county magistrate asked eagerly, holding back his beating heart.

"I entered the city, but my subordinates did not follow." The officer looked at the county magistrate with some doubts.

"Idiot, that's the head of the guard of the Duke of the Kingdom, Hurry up and take someone to search that inn for me, not even a mouse hole will be spared!" The county magistrate ordered sharply.

"It's my lord!" The officer hurriedly led the people out.

"Come here, find out where the Lord Protector is, don't offend me." The county magistrate hurriedly ordered again.

"Yes, my lord!" The people below responded.

"Military Master, what do you think the Lord Protector is doing here?" The county magistrate's voice trembled slightly.

I didn't do anything bad. Although I took the filial piety from those outsiders and rich households, I never squeezed the people's fat.

"My lord, don't panic, we haven't done anything wrong, so don't be afraid." The military division reassured the county magistrate.

"Yes, yes, yes, I did nothing wrong!" The county magistrate couldn't help comforting himself.

When the yamen servant came to report to the county magistrate Shen Yuanping's inn, the county magistrate got up and was about to go.

"My lord, you'd better change into your regular clothes before going. The Duke of the State may be visiting in private," the military adviser stopped the county magistrate.

"You're right, you're right," the county magistrate was in a state of disorientation, and hurried back to change his clothes, stumbling a bit in the middle.

After changing clothes, the sedan chair was carried by the servants, "Does the military commander need to buy some gifts?" The county magistrate asked the military commander.

"No, it's not too late to make plans after seeing what the Duke of the State is here for," the military adviser said.

"Military division, you should be more vigilant for a while," the county magistrate explained.

"Don't worry, my lord!" The military adviser nodded, but he was also very worried.

Although the adults are not considered greedy, they will not be able to withstand the investigation if they are investigated deeply. After all, they are not regarded as honest officials.

When the two arrived at the inn, the innkeeper quickly came out to greet them, "I've seen you, my lord!"

"Has the guest from room No. [-] in Tianzi come back?" the county magistrate asked in a low voice.

"Do you have anything to do with me?" Shen Yuanping asked sharply when he heard this sentence when he entered the door.

"My lord!" The county magistrate was so frightened that his calf gave way and he knelt on the ground, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

"Your Excellency, I, I, the next official, the next official is, that is..." the county magistrate said incoherently.
