But unfortunately, he didn't see any change in expression on Zhao Xin's face.
Instead, Li Cunxiao, who was standing behind him, sneered, then suddenly walked to the side as if nothing had happened, and stretched out his hand to press on a wall, without seeming to use much force.
The wall suddenly cracked with a snap.
This action not only changed Zhang Yuan's expression, but also shocked Cao Zishuo and Nan Wuyou.
If Li Cunxiao punched a crack in the wall, they would be surprised, but not that much.
They may not be able to do it themselves, but they all know someone who can do it.
But Li Cunxiao was not hitting, but pressing, and it looked very relaxed, as if he was not using any strength at all.
It was as if the wall had cracked on its own.
What a great power this is!
You should know that this is the wall of the county magistrate's office. It was built in the same way as the city wall, using yellow rice paste mixed with rammed earth.
Its hardness is incomparable to that of ordinary houses.
If someone like this really punches you, the whole house will probably collapse, right?
Just as Li Cunxiao walked back to Zhao Xin calmly, the soldiers from the county magistrate's office finally surrounded the door.
With a loud bang, hundreds of swords and guns were pointed at Tang Siru and Ma Jianming who were still guarding the door.
They were naturally the two people who had lifted the door curtain before.
One of them held a gun and the other held a knife. They both looked a little nervous, but neither of them retreated a single step!
"Who are you? How dare you... Hey, aren't you from the Jinyiwei Hundred Households? How dare you?!"
The soldiers and officers of the county magistrate's office were furious when they saw that they dared to show their weapons.
But then he recognized the two people.
I was shocked and surprised.
Just recently, they learned that there seemed to be a fight within the Jinyiwei Hundred Households Office, and both sides disappeared.
There was also talk that Cao Xiong, the eunuch in charge of the imperial East Factory, had come to Dahuang City, and it seemed that the incident had happened because of him.
However, he didn't expect to see these two people here. They actually dared to run to the county magistrate's office and make trouble. The captain couldn't help but get furious.
But at this moment, Zhang Yuan inside the door suddenly turned around and shouted to the outside: "Back off!"
"Lord?"
The officers were all stunned when they suddenly heard Zhang Yuan's voice asking them to retreat.
"Didn't you hear me tell you to leave?"
Zhang Yuan snorted again and called himself "Gu".
Zhang Yuan was the prefect of a county and also held a noble title, which made him a vassal state. Naturally, he was qualified to be called "Gu", but he usually liked to have idle conversations.
He is good at Huang-Lao techniques.
I always hang out with some famous people, so I seldom use this term to refer to myself.
When they heard him use this self-proclaimed name, several officers were stunned.
Then Zhang Yuanyou said, "Everyone, please step thirty steps away from the inner hall. No one is allowed to approach.
Also, guard the gate of the County Magistrate's Mansion. No one is allowed to enter or leave. No one is allowed to leak what is happening here. Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be killed without mercy!"
At this moment, Zhang Yuan's manner seemed to have some of the majesty of a county governor.
Although the officers were surprised to hear this, they did not dare to disobey orders.
They all answered "yes" in unison, and then there was another sound of armor clattering, and they all retreated within thirty steps of the back hall.
Everyone inside and outside the flower hall couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The only three people who didn't show any change in expression at the scene were probably Jiang Gonglan, Zhao Xin and Li Cunxiao.
Of course, there were also people in the crowd who pretended to be relieved, but in their hearts they secretly despised Zhang Yuan for being useless and being scared like this.
This person is naturally Cao Zishuo.
I'm not disappointed, I just think it's too easy. And I feel like it can work just like this.
However, he didn't know that Zhao Xin had already done a lot of homework and preparation, and had a better understanding of Zhang Yuan than he imagined, which led to this action.
But it's not really that hard and rough.
It can be said that from the moment he appeared on the stage, to the moment he entered the door and faced Zhang Yuan, every action, every sentence, and even every expression was mentally rehearsed countless times in advance.
Otherwise, he wouldn't dare take the risk.
Of course, Cao Zishuo definitely couldn't see these. Not only could he not see them, but no one else knew either.
Everyone just saw Zhao Xin sit down and remain silent throughout the whole process, just looking at Zhang Yuan quietly.
Until Zhang Yuan turned over and bowed, saying: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yuan, the Marquis of Huating, the Governor of Dahuang County, pays homage to the Emperor!"
Mr. Ning also bowed down in a hurry, but he just lay on the ground, trembling with fear and not daring to speak.
Zhao Xin then chuckled, "Marquis Huating, how long has it been since we last met?"
Zhang Yuan was taken aback by this nonsensical statement, and then he swallowed subconsciously and said, "The last time I saw Your Majesty was on the birthday of the late Emperor, when Your Majesty was still in the palace. It has been five years now.
"When I saw Your Majesty again today, you were already soaring high in the sky, your demeanor even more majestic than before. I almost didn't recognize you."
"Haha, yes, it's been so long, don't you miss me? I won't see you even if I'm in the palace!"
Zhao Xin said with emotion, it felt like they were just chatting about family matters.
However, Zhang Yuan, who was lying on the ground and never heard the words "stand up" or "please stand up", suddenly broke out in sweat on his forehead.
His expression changed repeatedly, and after a moment, he explained in a somewhat dry voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. How could I not miss you even for a single day while I was away from home? It's just that at that time, there was... there was..."
He was halfway through his speech when he suddenly felt he couldn't continue.
When the emperor ascended the throne, as a county governor of the vassal state, he should naturally go to the capital to congratulate him.
But not all county magistrates will go.
