It only took five days for people from the state to come and find Wang Zheng, starting from the time the county reported the case. Considering the traffic conditions of that era, this could be said to be a non-stop process.

In front of Wang Zheng was a tall and majestic general with three long beards that gave him a somewhat elegant temperament. He came here with two followers, which showed that he was very confident.

"I am Wang Chengguo, currently serving as the recorder and military officer of Xialongzhou in Lizhou Road. According to the report from the county magistrate, the county magistrate has never returned since he came here. What do you have to say about this matter?"

Wang Zheng looked at him and said with a smile: "If your Excellency asks me this question, then I have nothing to say."

Wang Chengguo narrowed his eyes and asked seriously, "What do you mean by having nothing to say?"

Wang Zheng still had a smile on his face. "It means exactly what it says. I don't know anything."

Wang Chengguo opened his eyes sharply and shouted, "It is obvious that the county magistrate and his son were both murdered by you, how could you not know that?"

He was so confident just now, but he turned around and ran away without even saying hello. I really want to chase him and beat him up."

After hearing Wang Zheng's specious words, Wang Chengguo was very angry and pointed at Wang Zheng and shouted, "You~."

If you don't believe me, just keep on being so arrogant and see if I dare to do anything to you. "

Luo Wu was dumbfounded. He asked in disbelief, "No way, he really dares to send troops here?"

If you are willing to pay more money, maybe I will go to Longzhou with you."

Wang Chengguo looked at Luo Wu with disdain, then turned to Wang Zheng and said, "I want you to follow me back to Longzhou to investigate this matter. What do you say?"

Seeing the actions of the Ba people, Wang Chengguo immediately stopped talking, flicked his sleeves, jumped on his horse and left quickly.

Wang Zheng nodded and said, "It is my duty to assist local officials, but under what pretext did you recruit me? Although I am not talented and do not hold any official position, I am a member of the inner court and have my own duties. I dare not leave here without a reason."

Hearing Wang Zheng say this, Luo Wu became a little nervous. Yes, if he really wanted to bring troops here, people would always be able to find a way. Then they would execute him first and report later. As long as there is no evidence, who would redress his grievances?

If they really mobilize the army, we should be prepared to flee, so as not to flee in panic like a lost dog. "

Even so, as long as I hide in the deep mountains and old forests, he won’t dare to continue to encircle and suppress me. Otherwise, it’s hard to say who will live and who will die.”

Aren't you afraid of pushing them into a corner? If they really dispatch troops to encircle and suppress you, you, with only seven or eight hundred people, are no match for them."

Or if we can get in touch with the higher-ups and send troops here in the name of inspection, wouldn't that also achieve the goal? In any case, it's always right for us to be more cautious, right? "

There was already a cold light flashing in Luo Wu's eyes. If he was not really unwilling to leave his ancestral land, he would really want to kill this dog official immediately.

Before he could finish, Wang Zheng interrupted, "What do you mean by you? I advise you not to talk to me in such an overbearing manner. With your position, I really don't dare to do anything extreme.

Wang Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't believe it. You really think you are something. Are the troops supported by the court your private army? Otherwise, how can you transfer them whenever you want?

Luo Wu said unconvincedly: "He only has 1,800 soldiers. If it weren't for his strong armor and powerful weapons, I wouldn't be afraid of him.

As for other methods, don't even think about it. It's a waste of time. Don't even talk about assisting in the investigation. I don't have time. I have a lot of things to do here. It costs hundreds of copper coins every minute.

Luo Wu moved closer to Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng was able to remain calm, but the smile on his face had disappeared. He sneered and asked, "What do you mean, sir? Frame-ups are unacceptable."

You've wasted my time and caused losses to the Empress. Are you willing to compensate me?

Upon hearing this, Luo Wu immediately took off the spear head of his sickle spear and looked at Wang Chengguo with a grim smile, looking eager to try. The other Ba people followed suit and took off the spear heads one after another.

Wang Chengguoli shouted, "Wang Zheng, you are deeply involved in this case. I asked you to cooperate with the investigation, but you dared to refuse. Do you think such a small tribe of Ba people can protect you? Do you believe that I can mobilize troops and kill all the Ba people here in an instant?"

Wang Zheng laughed dumbly and said, "Forget it, what's the point of this other than venting some anger?

Let me be frank, if you want me to go to Longzhou, you must either get the Longzhou governor to issue an arrest warrant, in which case I, Wang, will naturally surrender. Or you can send your army here, and then I, Wang, will naturally not be able to resist.

A look of pity flashed across Luo Wu's face, and he said to Wang Zheng, "This guy looks so righteous, but I didn't expect him to be so cunning.

Is this the reason you dare to come here alone and with such a fierce attitude? But I am telling you now that I am already very uncomfortable. If you are still so aggressive, although I dare not kill you, I can still beat you up and make you lose face.

The more Luo Wu thought about it, the more possible it seemed, and he immediately made arrangements in a hurry.

Wang Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Who knows? What if they have a way to circumvent the imperial decree?

Wang Zheng also started to go back to Jiangxin Island. The river water had risen a little. Although he could still walk across, he had to be careful. In case he slipped on the road, there was a risk of falling into the river.

Zhang San and Li Si followed Wang Zheng back together. Zhang San asked, "Master, if that clerk really dares to bring troops here, what should we do then?"

Wang Zheng walked forward with his head down. After a while, he said, "What else can we do? We have to run for our lives. We can't beat them in a fight. What else can we do if we don't run for our lives? I don't know what happened to the two letters I asked you to send. Will Chang'an send someone over? We should have reached Chang'an a long time ago. If we hurry, the people they sent should be here soon, right?"

Li Si asked in a sullen voice, "Master, what did you say in your letter to Chang'an?"

"Nothing much, I just figured out a way to make yellow paper, and I can make some money, but now someone wants to rob it, the situation is urgent, so I asked them to send someone over."
