At dusk, Wuyang County Magistrate Guo Tong arrived with nearly a hundred people.
Even from a distance, everyone could smell the pungent smell of blood.
"My lord, something is wrong here!"
The county magistrate frowned and whispered, "Is the Sixth Prince going to kill us?"
"He doesn't dare!"
Guo Tong snorted coldly and said disapprovingly: "We are all officials appointed by the court. Even if he is a prince, he cannot kill us without trial! Besides, this Sixth Prince is just a coward. Do you think he has the guts to kill us?"
"That's what I said, but I still feel something is wrong!" The county chancellor frowned and said, "It seems that a lot of people have died here. Could it be that the Sixth Prince was attacked by Zhao Heihu's group and wants to vent his anger on us?"
It would be normal for Yun Zheng to go to the county magistrate's office.
But Yun Zheng ordered people to call them here, and the smell of blood here is so strong, which is obviously a bit abnormal!
"Don't panic!"
...
...
Guo Tong laughed, "Zhao Heihu attacked his people, what does it have to do with us? We have nothing to do with Zhao Heihu."
"But he will hold us accountable for our failure to suppress the bandits!" the county magistrate reminded.
"Conquer? What can we use to conquer?"
Guo Tong snorted coldly: "If he, a prince, with so many elite cavalrymen, can't deal with Zhao Heihu, what can our two thousand county soldiers do?"
Hearing Guo Tong's words, the county magistrate was slightly stunned.
If you think about it carefully, this is indeed the truth!
There were only two thousand soldiers in Wuyang County, and it was not even fully staffed.
What can they do when even so many elite cavalry can’t deal with this person?
Thinking of this, the county magistrate was not so worried anymore.
"Don't worry! Just deal with it casually later."
Guo Tong laughed, "These princes are all idiots who have lived in the deep palace for a long time. The Sixth Prince is an even more idiot among idiots. We can easily fool them!"
"Uh-huh……"
The county magistrate nodded repeatedly, "Your Excellency is wise!"
As they spoke, they were getting closer.
At this time, they finally saw the situation on the ground clearly.
Looking at the corpses lying all over the ground, the group couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
These corpses seem to be those of bandits!
Could it be that the Sixth Prince wiped out Zhao Heihu and his gang?
With shock in their hearts, Guo Tong and a group of officials got off the carriage and trotted to Yun Zheng and Shen Luoyan who were surrounded by people.
"Your humble servant Guo Tong, the prefect of Wuyang County, pays respect to the King of Jingbei and the princess!"
"Meet King Jingbei!"
Guo Tong led all the officials, both big and small, to pay their respects.
Yun Zheng raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at the group of officials indifferently.
Looking at how fat and bloated they are, they don't look like honest officials at all.
It is estimated that nine out of ten times he is just an honest official in name only.
If you don’t check, you are all honest officials!
Upon investigation, they were all corrupt officials!
Yun Zheng raised his hand and threw Zhao Heihu's head in front of Guo Tong. "County Magistrate Guo, you should know this person, right?"
Looking at Zhao Heihu's head, Guo Tong and others were startled.
It was indeed Zhao Heihu!
It seems that the Sixth Prince really wiped out Zhao Heihu's gang of bandits!
Good thing!
Zhao Heihu had always been a major concern to them. Now that this bandit Zhao Heihu had been wiped out, they could finally rest assured.
"This is Zhao Heihu, the bandit leader of Qingyang Mountain!"
Guo Tong said this and knelt down again. "On behalf of the people of Wuyang County, I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, for helping us to eliminate the bandits and bring peace to our county!"
After Guo Tong knelt, the other officials followed suit.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for helping the people of Wuyang to eliminate the bandits!"
Everyone shouted in unison, looking like they were concerned about the people.
"Since I am a prince, this is what I should do!"
Yun Zheng chuckled, and suddenly changed the subject, "However, to say that I will give the people of Wuyang a peaceful and prosperous world is really too much!"
"Your Majesty is too modest."
Guo Tong said quickly: "The people of Wuyang have suffered from these bandits for a long time. It is because of these bandits that the people of Wuyang have been living in misery! I am incompetent and have sent troops to fight against them many times, but this group of people are so cunning that I have failed to wipe them out several times! Now that the prince has wiped out this group of bandits, the people of Wuyang can finally live in peace."
Guo Tong spoke very beautifully throughout the conversation.
He not only praised Yun Zheng's actions to eliminate the bandits, but also mentioned that he had sent troops to fight the bandits.
Didn’t he send troops to fight the bandits?
The robbers were too cunning!
Yun Zheng listened and couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.
This Guo Tong can really talk!
I'm afraid that all his thoughts are focused on making money and studying how to speak nice words?
There have been many people like this throughout history!
"This king really wants to give the people of Wuyang a peaceful and peaceful life."
Yun Zheng nodded slightly, stared at Guo Tong and said, "But if I want to achieve my goal, I have to borrow something from County Magistrate Guo!"
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
Guo Tong immediately expressed his determination, "As long as the people of Wuyang can have a peaceful life, I will donate whatever I have without the need for Your Majesty to borrow from me!"
"Really?"
Yun Zheng's mouth curled up, "County Magistrate Guo really cares about the people of Wuyang!"
"This is my duty."
Guo Tong answered righteously, and then asked: "I wonder what the prince needs?"
Yun Zheng's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said coldly: "Your head of County Magistrate Guo!"
Head?
Guo Tong's expression suddenly changed.
The county magistrate's words came true. Does the Sixth Prince really want to kill them?
After a brief panic, Guo Tong quickly regained his composure and said, "If my head can help revitalize Wuyang and let the people of Wuyang live a good life, I am willing to give my head!"
"Well, he is indeed a good official!"
Yun Zheng exclaimed in admiration, and waved at Gao He, "Go, chop off his head for me!"
"yes!"
Gao He immediately stepped forward with his sword in hand.
Seeing that Yun Zheng was serious, Guo Tong finally lost his composure.
"Your Majesty!"
Guo Tong suddenly raised his head and said angrily: "I wonder what crime I have committed?"
"You have committed no crime."
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Didn't you just say that you would be willing to sacrifice your life as long as the people of Wuyang could live a good life?"
"this……"
Guo Tong was slightly stunned, and then he realized that he had fallen into Yun Zheng's trap.
Looking at Guo Tong's appearance, Ye Zi couldn't help but gently pull Shen Luoyan, and at the same time nodded at her, as if to say: See, this is your husband's ability to set traps for others.
Shen Luoyan curled her lips, but secretly sighed in her heart.
This bastard is really sinister!
I must be more careful when dealing with this bastard in the future!
Guo Tong racked his brains to think for a while, and then said quickly: "Although I have this intention, I cannot put Your Majesty in an unjust position! I am an official appointed by the court. If Your Majesty wants my head, and His Majesty investigates, won't Your Majesty be unable to explain to His Majesty?"
Using the father as an excuse to put pressure on me?
Yun Zheng smiled and reached out to grab the sword next to him. "Do you know the origin of this sword?"
Guo Tong shook his head, "I don't know."
"Then I will tell you!"
Yun Zheng stood up slowly and sneered, "This sword was given to me by my father when I set out from the Imperial City! If this sword can be used to drink the blood of bandits, corrupt officials, and enemies from the north, it will be considered a perfect deed!"
