Chapter 201 The Aggrieved Lord Prefect

The next day, a piece of today's news spread throughout Jincheng, instantly causing panic among the people in Jincheng.

The Ji family in Jincheng was murdered by a crowd in the middle of the night!

"Master, we quietly sent people to check the Ji family, and found that the people who killed the Ji family were ruthless. The maid was even raped and killed by Ji Qingrun.

Yuan Bohan frowned when he heard the words of the dark guard. If it was Helian Guanyu, he would never have such a big hand. It would be another group of people. It is estimated that the people who exterminated the Ji family killed Ji Xiangming people.

Yuan Bohan nodded lightly when he heard the words of the dark guard, and said, "Don't worry too much about the Ji family's affairs, is there any news from Yuan Jian?"

Hearing Yuan Bohan's words, the dark guard felt a little embarrassed under the black cloth, and immediately said, "No..."

Yuan Bohan's face darkened instantly when he heard the answer from the dark guard. What the hell is Yuan Jian doing? It's been a whole day and night, and yet no news has come back!

Did something really happen?
Yuan Bohan rubbed his sore brows.

"Master, there is one more thing. Today, when my subordinates sent people to conduct a secret search, they found that there are unfavorable rumors circulating in Jincheng. The people are talking about it."

Yuan Bohan's eyes sank when he heard the words of the dark guard, this black hand stretched too long!
"Master!" The steward's voice came from the door.

Yuan Bohan waved his hand at the dark guard in front of him, and the dark guard disappeared into the room in an instant.

"Come in!" Yuan Bohan called out the door in a cold voice.

The steward walked in dragging his battered body, saluted Yuan Bohan with bared teeth, and said to Yuan Bohan, "The head of the house, the magistrate came to see you for something."

When Yuan Bohan heard the steward's words, his eyes were full of coldness, and then he said in an unhappy voice, "No see!"

The current Yuan Bohan doesn't have the time to deal with the court officials, maybe the assassination has something to do with the court officials.

The steward looked at Yuan Bohan helplessly, and said: "The little one told the magistrate, but he said that he must see the head, if the head doesn't see him, then he will break in!"

Yuan Bohan's face darkened when he heard the manager's words, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Since there is someone who is not afraid of death, then I want to see how courageous he is!"

After Yuan Bohan finished speaking, he flung his sleeves and left the room.

The steward looked at the back of Yuan Bohan leaving with strong anger, and lit a candle in his heart for this courageous magistrate.

In the lobby, the new magistrate Mr. Xu was sitting anxiously on a chair. To be honest, he really didn't want to get into this muddy water, but if he didn't do it, it would be difficult to keep the black hat on his head.

Mr. Xu sighed silently in his heart, he really didn't know what kind of bad luck he had, because he came to this small Jincheng to be the magistrate and there would be no big things, who would have thought that there would be big things involved here, really Helpless and powerless.

Master Xu complained in his heart, when he saw Yuan Bohan coming in with a cold expression on his face, he immediately stood up and said, "Master Yuan!"

Yuan Bohan gave a faint "hmm", sat on the chair, and said in a cold voice, "Why is Zhifu Xu coming?"

Seeing Yuan Bohan's stern face, Mr. Xu's scalp became a little numb, and he said immediately: "Master Yuan, it's about the guards of the Yuan Gate guarding the city gate, can you ask Mr. Yuan to remove these people? Otherwise, it will affect the travel of the people."

"Heh!" Yuan Bohan sneered when he heard Master Xu's words, and asked, "Did people from Yuanmen hurt the common people?"

"That... that's not true." Master Xu thought for a while, but it seemed that there was no news that people from the Yuan Sect had hurt innocent people.

"Since there is no one, why should I withdraw?" Yuan Bohan's mouth curled up contemptuously.

When Mr. Xu heard Yuan Bohan's rhetorical question, he choked immediately and felt a sense of annoyance. After all, he is also an official of the imperial court. Although the Yuan family is not simple, it is just a commoner. Yuan Bohan is so arrogant that he dares to speak like this !

When Master Xu thought of this, his face suddenly became serious, and he said to Yuan Bohan: "Master Yuan, your actions have already touched the law of the king. If others, like Master Yuan, bring guards to control the city gate without permission, then it's still a good idea." What do you want our government to do? Are you trying to rebel?"

"Rebellion?" Yuan Bohan stood up when he heard the word Master Xu said, the coercion exuding from his body made Master Xu tremble a little, he subconsciously took a few steps back, only to hear Yuan Bohan sneered and said: "Master Xu, if I rebel, will your life still be guaranteed? Can you still stand here and talk to me? Huh?"

When Mr. Xu heard this, the soles of his feet felt cold, and he shivered from head to toe, "Yuan... Master Yuan, I'm just joking, just joking."

"A joke?" Yuan Bohan walked towards Master Xu.

Master Xu only felt the coercion emanating from Yuan Bohan's body, which made him a little out of breath. Even when he saw him on the peak, he didn't feel this way. It made him so scared that he really didn't know how to answer Yuan Bohan's words. up.

"Yuan... Master Yuan..." Mr. Xu showed a flattering smile on his face.

"Master Xu, the shop of Huo's family was smashed, and Huo Jiancheng disappeared. As an official of the imperial court, you have not given an explanation to the head of the two cases!" Yuan Bohan said to Master Xu in a cold voice.

When Mr. Xu heard Yuan Bohan mentioning this matter, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. It wasn't that he didn't want to investigate and deal with it as soon as possible, it was just that he was pressured from above to let him sit on the sidelines on these two cases. Well, he can only make up such an explanation.

Yuan Bohan saw the guilty look in Mr. Xu's eyes, he smiled coldly, and then said: "Since Mr. Xu is not capable of handling these two cases, I don't mind helping you! The guards at the city gate, I will definitely not Will withdraw!"

"Master Yuan, you!" Hearing Yuan Bohan's words, Mr. Xu stared and blew his beard. Yuan Bohan is too arrogant!

"What about me?" Yuan Bohan squinted his eyes and looked at Master Xu, the dangerous look in his eyes made Master Xu's feet go limp with fear.

Mr. Xu laughed a few times uncomfortably, and said in a trembling voice: "Since...since Yuan...Dang Yuan took action, then...I can't ask for it..."

Master Xu admitted that he couldn't deal with Yuan Bohan, this guy was too scary, if he said one more thing, maybe his head would not be guaranteed, the black hat could be thrown away, and if he lost his life, what else would he do?
Master Xu immediately compromised with Yuan Bohan.

After Yuan Bohan heard Master Xu's words, he snorted coldly, then shook his sleeves, "Master Xu, no hospitality!"

After Yuan Bohan finished speaking, he left the hall in a cold air.

Master Xu looked at the back of Yuan Bohan leaving, he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the bean-sized sweat from his forehead, Yuan Bohan, it was terrible, no wonder the former prefect of Jincheng was fooled by this guy Come down, and the court wants to get rid of Yuanmen.

Seeing Mr. Xu's terrified look, the steward at the side saw a mocking look in his eyes, stepped forward and said to Mr. Xu with a half-smile: "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, the master is in a bad mood these days. If the matter is not resolved early, the head of the family will be even more angry, and then...hehe, you know."

Master Xu twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard the manager's words, and then said: "I...I will catch those troublemakers as soon as possible, and find Mr. Huo at the same time."

Hearing Mr. Xu's words, the steward nodded with a smile and continued: "Also, Mr. Xu, there are rumors that our Yuanmen is not good. We have to ask Mr. Xu for help. After all...you are from Jincheng." Parents officer!"

When Mr. Xu heard what the steward said, he almost wanted to swear, what kind of parental officer is he!Even a small member of the Yuan Sect dared to talk to him like this, which made him very annoyed.

Master Xu knew that at this moment, he was on his territory, if he made a mistake, he might not be able to get out of Feihe Tower.He suppressed the unwillingness in his stomach, and said to the manager in front of him: "Don't worry, I will stop the rumors."

The manager obviously didn't believe Mr. Xu's words, and continued to ask: "I don't know how you can stop Mr. Xu?"

Master Xu stared at the steward dissatisfied, "I still need to tell you what I do?"

"The little one doesn't dare!" The steward looked at Master Xu who was in front of him with authority, smiled lightly, and said without fear at all: "The little one just thought of a way to help the adults."

"What way?" Master Xu frowned.

"The method is actually very simple, as long as Mr. Xu posted an announcement at the gate of the city, telling the people that the reason why the guards of Yuanmen were guarding the gate was to assist Mr. Xu in arresting the imperial court's criminals. Recently, some unknown people in Jincheng entered I hope that if people see strangers, they will come to Feihe Tower to report, and then Yuanmen will reward the people who assist in handling the case."

Master Xu's mouth grew bigger when he heard the steward's words, this... this is simply absurd!Where did the imperial court come from, the people of Yuanmen are really shameless!If he really posted such an announcement, wouldn't the people in the city panic?

Not only that, the common people also thought that their government was not good at handling the case, and they had to rely on the Yuanmen to be talented. By then, the Yuanmen had gained a good reputation.

The more Master Xu thought about it, his heart ached.

The steward looked at Mr. Xu's heartbroken face, and said with a half-smile, "Mr. Xu, it's a good idea, isn't it?"

"Good! Very good!" Master Xu gritted his teeth when he heard what the steward said.

The steward smiled lightly, "Since that's the case, then are you doing this, Mr. Xu? If you don't, alas!" He shook his head, "I really don't know when the master's anger will disappear."

Threats, naked threats!
Master Xu was so angry that his body trembled, he really wanted to kill this guy in front of him, dare to threaten him!
"My lord, are you in poor health?" The steward looked at Master Xu's livid face and asked pretendingly puzzled, "Is this going to happen or not?"

"Okay!" Master Xu burst out a word from between his teeth.

The steward smiled, nodded in satisfaction, and said to Mr. Xu: "The young one will go back to the government office with the adults, and see the adults finish this matter, and then the young ones will be able to explain to the master."

"You...you want to follow me back to the government office?" Master Xu narrowed his eyes.

"That's natural!" The steward nodded affirmatively. He was also afraid that the magistrate in front of him would make a promise here, and then leave Feihe Tower, which would forget about the promise.

Mr. Xu felt a sense of powerlessness at this moment, so he could only ask the steward to go back to the government office with him. After he wrote this notice by himself, he had to go to the city gate to paste the notice in person, accompanied by the steward, according to the seal of the magistrate. Notice.

Master Xu felt that he had become the most aggrieved magistrate in history!
