"Yes! Yes! Yes, Mr. Chen Yi, I also hope that you can say a few good words to His Royal Highness Prince Chen."
County Magistrate Pei never dreamed that one day he would be able to deal with princes and nobles, and even meet the legendary prince!
My little daughter has just reached the age of marriage. If she can win the favor of the prince, why would I worry about not being able to rise step by step?
County Magistrate Pei was in a good mood, thinking about his own things, and didn't notice Chen Yi's increasingly furrowed brows or the abnormally quiet environment nearby.
"County Magistrate Pei, what are you doing? Did you hear what I said to you? Why do you have that expression?"
The corner of Chen Yi's mouth twitched violently, and he turned around to see a hint of spring on County Magistrate Pei's face.
"No! Nothing! Mr. Chen Yi, I heard it, and I will definitely live up to my mission."
County Magistrate Pei was a little nervous, feeling like he had done something bad and was caught.
"County Magistrate Pei, how long has it been since the people you sent out to investigate been gone? Why is there no news coming back for so long?"
Chen Yi felt that the atmosphere around him was very tense. It had been so long and there was still no news. Could something have gone wrong?
"Master Wu, please come here. I want to ask you, how long have the people you sent out been gone? Why is there no news yet? What's going on?"
When County Magistrate Pei heard what Chen Yi said, his heart was beating fast. He had given full authority to Master Wu to handle this matter, so if there was anything, he would have to find him first.
"Reporting to the county magistrate, after receiving your message.
I immediately sent someone to investigate, and they've probably been there for about two quarters of an hour. I didn't dare to neglect it, so I sent my confidants to investigate."
Master Wu wiped the cold sweat from his head. In fact, he lied.
When County Magistrate Pei came to find him, he was in his concubine's bed, so he completely forgot about the villain's attempt to inquire about him.
When I remembered it later, I asked someone to go. At that time, Yuan Yi and others had already set out for Panlong Village with County Magistrate Pei.
"Master Wu, what's wrong with you? Why are you sweating all the time? Are you hiding something from me and not telling me the truth?"
County Magistrate Pei is also a shrewd man, and Master Wu's every move is not so easy to escape his eyes.
"Sir! What I said is true, I didn't lie to you! How dare I lie to you about such an important matter?"
Master Wu felt a chill in his heart as Magistrate Pei looked at him coldly and questioningly.
He really didn't dare to tell the truth, otherwise his life might be in danger.
"County Magistrate Pei, you'd better discipline your subordinates. If something goes wrong, it will be difficult to explain to the master.
These bandits kill people without blinking an eye, and it is your duty to wipe them out.
But you allowed it to continue to expand and develop to its current level, and this is your dereliction of duty.
I haven't caused you any trouble yet, and I haven't held you accountable yet.
If you succeed in wiping out the bandits this time, it will be your time to make amends.
If this operation fails, you'd better be careful about your official hat."
Chen Yi thrust the sword in his hand into the soil.
The sun's rays shone on the sword, making it look even shinier in the sunlight. However, the sun's heat could not take away the frost on the sword.
"Master Chen Yi! I will definitely remember this! I will definitely remember this! Please say a few good words to me in front of the prince!
I will send someone else to find out what is going on, don't worry."
When County Magistrate Pei saw the shiny sword in front of him, he felt that his life was hanging by a thread.
My life could be in danger at any moment, and I really can't just die like this. This prince is not someone you can easily mess with.
"Pei County Magistrate, please think carefully about this matter. This is very important.
This group of bandits actually dared to rob the prince and intended to murder his life.
If something really happens to the prince, you will have a few more heads to lose."
Chen Yi began to add a sentence, making County Magistrate Pei realize the seriousness of the matter and not to take it lightly or be careless.
"Master Chen Yi, you are right! I will not neglect this matter.
I will keep your words in mind and immediately send someone to investigate the situation again. I will report to you as soon as I have any news."
County Magistrate Pei was sweating profusely. He felt that if he hadn't handled this matter well,
I'm afraid my official career is really coming to an end.
County Magistrate Pei walked to the back and soon arrived at the place where Master Wu was ambushing. He was ready to convey a message to Master Wu and ask him to send someone to find out the news as soon as possible.
But when he saw Master Wu's leisurely posture, a nameless anger suddenly rose in his heart.
"Master Wu, what are you still standing there for? What time is it now?
You still have the mood to enjoy the scenery here, you really don't want to live, right?
Why don't you find someone quickly to investigate the situation? What are you still standing there for?
Maybe I was too relaxed with you? You are here to eliminate bandits, not to have fun."
County Magistrate Pei transformed his fear into grief and indignation, and vented it directly when he saw Master Wu.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Your Excellency, County Magistrate, I will go right away! Right away.
I will definitely arrest those who are incompetent and hand them over to you for personal punishment."
Master Wu nodded and bowed, not daring to delay at all. He immediately found two people with better skills to find out the specific situation of "Panlong Village".
Master Wu bowed slightly and slowly backed away, looking as humble as he could be.
"You two, come out right now and be careful!
Go and find out the situation quickly, and report back as soon as you have any news. Don't waste time."
Master Wu raised his neck, showing no trace of his humble look just now.
In front of the two officers and soldiers, he pretended to be arrogant.
Then he raised his voice, waved his hands and spoke loudly to the two people.
The people in front of him had long been accustomed to his attitude. In their eyes, Master Wu was just a villain who was trying to curry favor with the powerful.
From time to time, he would rely on his position as a legal advisor and act like an official in front of them.
They also extremely despise such people in their hearts, but they have to choose to compromise again and again.
"Yes! Yes! I obey your command! I will definitely investigate it carefully, please rest assured, Master Wu."
The two officers bowed and replied. Master Wu nodded slightly, very pleased with their attitude.
The two officers and soldiers disguised themselves simply, dressed up as farmers, and began to walk towards Panlongzhai.
As they walked, they discovered a problem. When they reached a rocky area, they felt several pairs of eyes staring at them from behind.
