Zhou Wanggui was dumbfounded. He had been in Youzhou for nearly twenty years.
This captain of the city gate was a familiar figure to everyone who came and went. Besides being a bit greedy, he also liked to drink. Sometimes he would take advantage of the opportunity to grope the hands and buttocks of the girls who came in and out of the city gate.
There are no other problems.
Besides, this city gate captain has been in this position for many years.
How could he be a spy from the Northern Barbarians?
This Liu Feng, it would be fine if he just killed someone, but he also slandered them.
"Why do you say that?"
Zhou Wanggui looked puzzled.
"Master Zhou, I just want to ask you one question: am I the hero who defeated the Northern Barbarians?"
"yes."
Zhou Wanggui answered without hesitation.
"What about him? Has he ever been to the battlefield? Has he ever killed the enemy?"
"It seems not."
"He just accused me of being a spy for the Northern Barbarians. This horse was the warhorse I got from the first bandit I killed. Is it my trophy?"
"Is riding a trophy treasonous?"
"And you want to kill me."
"Master Zhou, do you think he deserves to die?"
Zhou Wanggui was speechless for a moment.
“This, this…?”
"General Liu is a hero. Everyone knows this."
"Master Zhou, you should know that the Fengling Army has already returned to the capital. If the northern barbarians come back again."
"What should I do then?"
"My presence still has some deterrent effect on them."
"If he kills me today and the northern barbarians march straight in, who will defend Tianyong City? If Tianyong City falls, will Youzhou City still be safe?"
"Ah, this?"
Zhou Wanggui took a breath, Liu Feng was right.
"He's slandering a battle hero as a spy. He's just hoping the northern barbarians will break through Tianyong City and take over Youzhou."
"So, if this city gate captain is not a spy, then what is he?"
Liu Feng's analysis was well-reasoned and logical, which actually confused Zhou Wanggui.
You have to know that the entire Youzhou is composed of the emperor's people, and they are the emperor's diehard supporters.
Today, the governor of Youzhou City is a person left behind by the late emperor, and was selected to be sent here when the new emperor ascended the throne.
The emperor's absolute confidant.
Given this relationship, the absurd behavior of this city gate captain today is a slap in the face of Your Majesty.
This is not allowed.
"Master Liu is right. It's possible that someone from a certain faction in the court has sent spies here."
Zhou Wanggui touched his chin and spoke seriously.
"Okay, I already know what happened. I will report this to the Governor in person."
"If you want to go into the city, go ahead."
"I will be your guarantor for now, but according to the regulations, you cannot leave Youzhou City for the next few days and must stay at the designated inn."
"I saw the Fulai Inn."
"If anything happens, the governor will send someone to summon you."
"If you don't comply, you will be treated as a fugitive and issued an arrest warrant."
Liu Feng smiled.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Zhou."
"Why are you being so polite?"
Zhou Wanggui laughed and scolded the surrounding guards, asked them to clean up the bodies, and then went out of the city on official business.
Things finally landed smoothly.
Seeing Liu Feng coming, Wu San Tong breathed a sigh of relief and asked excitedly.
"Who was that adult just now?"
Wu Santong was familiar with Zhou Wanggui's official uniform, a purple robe. Such a uniform would not be of low rank.
Moreover, he was very polite when speaking to Liu Feng, which made Wu San Tong a little confused.
"Oh, nothing, just a salt and iron commissioner from the Salt and Iron Office."
Liu Feng said it simply.
"The Salt and Iron Commissioner, that's the Salt and Iron Envoy."
"The most powerful government office in Youzhou City is the Salt and Iron Government Office."
"When did you become associated with such an official?"
Wu San Tong was a little surprised.
I climbed up to him?
Liu Feng smiled.
A small salt and iron envoy is not worthy of Liu Feng's association.
Liu Feng waved his hand and without further explanation, he went into the city with the escort agency's carriage.
There were also many ordinary people who followed him into the city. They were all secretly looking at Liu Feng, and some were even whispering to each other, guessing Liu Feng's identity.
He was able to kill the captain of the city gate without saying a word.
He is definitely not an ordinary person. Ordinary people don’t have the courage to do this.
Soon, the people's attention fell on the carts of goods that Liu Feng was carrying.
These things were all found in ancient tombs, most of them are old porcelain and various jade and jewelry.
They were very careful when loading the truck. Not only was a large amount of straw used as padding, but it was also covered tightly.
The jewels were very heavy, so they left a noticeable rut on the ground.
The people became even more curious.
From the gold, silver and jewelry, some people guessed that it was tribute from foreign countries. Some people even speculated that it was the corpse of the northern barbarian, who was going to collect the reward.
Wu San Tong looked at so many people following him and didn't say much. They were originally businessmen and escorts.
With these ordinary people talking to each other, maybe a buyer will come to your door.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the main street. The street here was very wide, more than twice as wide as that in Tianyong City, and it was so long that you couldn't see the end at a glance.
The few of them moved forward slowly and soon arrived in front of a magnificent attic.
There are two huge stone lions at the gate, and the vermilion door panels and plaques on the gatehouse are even more magnificent.
