"Bring the stuff up!"

As Zhang Rang finished speaking, several constables from the back office carried the two wooden boxes in under the curious gazes of the crowd.

"Open the box and let them see!"

Zhang Rang then signaled to the constables to open the wooden box, revealing the clothes inside.

"Huh? Isn't this the uniform of a palace attendant under the Commandant of the Capital Region?"

Everyone crowded around to take a look, and Xiahou Cai couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation, recognizing the clothes at a glance.

"Hehe~, not bad! These clothes were sent to us yesterday by an assistant from the Sili government office! He said it was to assist Prefect Yang in his work and that he had specially recruited your guards to participate in this matter!"

Zhang Rang chuckled and shifted the blame onto Jia Xu.

"I see! If that's the case, then there's no problem!!"

Xiahou Cai nodded in relief. The Sili government did indeed have the right to mobilize some non-official personnel to handle local cases.

Moreover, in their view, Zhang Rang probably wouldn't dare to do anything under Yang Qiu's name.

Seeing that no one suspected anything, Zhang Rang laughed and said, "Alright! Take these clothes back and give them to your guards to change into! Then have them gather the rest of the guards and wait for orders from the Prefect's Office!"

"We take our leave!!"

Everyone agreed in unison, and then left with the clothes.

"Zhang Changshi, those clothes?"

After everyone left, Yang Biao looked at Zhang Rang with a puzzled expression.

Those clothes were clearly made secretly by Zhang Rang, so how did they suddenly become the work of an official in the Sili government?

Zhang Rang laughed and said, "Hehe~, Prefect Yang, don't worry. Commandant Yang did send an assistant, but he's too slippery. He wants to hide behind us and do things his own way, but we're not going to let him have his way!"

As he finished speaking, Zhang Rang's lips curled into a cold smile. Jia Xu's willingness to come to see him must mean he had received orders to eliminate the local powerful clans.

Zhang Rang concluded that even if Yang Qiu knew about this, Jia Xu would neither dare to confront him. The evidence was found by those aristocratic families, and the Youzhou troops were mobilized by Jia Xu himself! It seemed as if he hadn't done anything!

Jia Xu has no choice but to take the blame!
