The night deepens.
A quiet courtyard in Qinghe County.
The originally dark yard suddenly lit up.
Someone's voice rang out:
"Feng Yang, how is it? Have you found the master?"
The man named Feng Yang was wearing a blue shorts and had a resolute face, but he looked so ordinary that he seemed like he would be lost in a crowd.
He shook his head and sat down: "I asked around, but no one has seen the master."
"That doesn't make sense! Master, although his martial arts skills aren't that high, we're holding those people back, so Master shouldn't run into them."
Feng Yang clenched his fists and tightened his jaw:
"We can't delay any longer. I'm going to the county government office tomorrow and ask them to help me find it. They're more familiar with the county town and will definitely find it faster than us."
Another person frowned, somewhat disapproving:
"But the master said he wants to go on a private visit in disguise. If he notifies the county government..."
"If the master wants to punish me, I will take it! The most important thing now is to find the master!" Feng Yang's face was cold and stern.
However, his words caused dissatisfaction among another person:
"No, what do you mean by that? What do you mean you're the only one who's responsible? Are we still brothers?! Forget it, it's more important to find the master first! If the master wants to punish us, we'll all bear the responsibility together!"
Several people's faces looked a little ugly.
They were assassinated on the way and were forced to separate from their master.
I've been searching for two days, but I still can't find any trace of my master.
*
The next day.
The morning light is dim.
The drum of complaint in front of the Qinghe County government office was struck.
Wu Youyi, the magistrate of Qinghe County, was sleeping soundly on his concubine's bed.
Hearing the drumbeat, he woke up with a frown: "Someone come!"
"Sir." Someone answered from outside.
"Whoever is banging outside, get out now and don't disturb my sweet dream!"
Having said that, he turned over, hugged his concubine and prepared to continue sleeping.
The man outside was silent for a moment, then said in a trembling voice:
"Sir, you...you'd better get up first!"
Wu Youyi's face darkened.
Now I can’t sleep.
He turned over and stood up: "What's the matter?"
"Sir, someone is beating the drum to protest."
Wu Youyi said impatiently: "Then drag him away and give him a few spankings. Do I even need to tell you about this?!"
“But…but…”
Wu Youyi was very annoyed by his hesitant tone.
He simply stood up and said: "Wait!"
The concubine was also woken up long ago.
Now it was softly pressed against his back.
Seeing that he was about to get up, she got up and changed his clothes.
After she put on her clothes, Wu Youyi hugged his concubine's soft waist:
"Wait until Master comes back."
The concubine smiled coquettishly, poked his chest with her slender and soft fingers, and glanced at him seductively:
"Then please come back soon, don't keep me waiting too long~"
Wu Youyi squeezed her hand, brought it to her lips and kissed her: "Let's go."
"Take care, sir~"
Wu Youyi strode away.
As he walked out of the door, the smile on his face faded, and he glared at the yamen runner who came to report:
"It better be something extremely urgent! Otherwise, I'll skin you alive!"
The yamen runner gave a bitter laugh:
"Sir, the one beating the drum of complaint is wearing armor and holding a certificate. I... I really don't dare to stop him!"
In just a short while, the sound of the drums of injustice outside became louder and louder, and his heart was lifted up.
The county magistrate's face changed. "Holding an official certificate? What kind of official is that?"
"This... Sir, I can't read..."
There are very few people who read books nowadays.
He is just a yamen runner, why does he need to know how to read?
Wu Youyi was filled with anger and couldn't help but kick him:
"I'll deal with you later!"
The yamen runner had a bitter look on his face and could only nod repeatedly.
There was no requirement for yamen runners to be literate before!
Outside the Qinghe County Government Office.
The drum of grievance suddenly sounded, attracting the attention of many people.
Many people stood far away, pointing in this direction.
Feng Yang held the official certificate in one hand and knocked on it with the other.
A yamen runner beside him kept persuading him: "Please stop knocking, my master will be out soon. Please, stop knocking..."
The yamen runner wanted to cry.
In the past, although they were not very domineering in the county, at least everyone in the county had to respect them.
Such a person suddenly came today and started beating the drum to complain without saying a word.
He originally wanted to hold the other person back, but the other person just took out an official certificate.
Although he was illiterate, he had seen what the official looked like.
How could he dare to go up and pull the other person?
I can only beg the other party to stop using his magical powers.
But the other party ignored him.
"Who is making so much noise here?"
The yamen runner was getting extremely anxious when he heard the voice of his master.
have to!
My heart is completely dead.
He quickly stepped aside to make way for his master.
"Are you the magistrate of Qinghe County?"
Feng Yang looked at him sideways.
"It's me." Wu Youyi raised his chin, put his hands behind his back, and said with authority, "Who are you?"
Feng Yang threw the drumstick casually and threw it back into the drumstick slot.
He clapped his hands, opened the officer's pass, and stood tall: "I am Feng Yang."
Wu Youyi took a closer look.
On the official certificate, beneath the bright red imperial seal, were sixteen characters written in a flamboyant style - Feng Yang, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Palace Guard, Third Rank.
Feng Yang, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guards? !
Isn't that the general who guards the Regent?!
Wu Youyi's heart trembled.
