Chapter 73 Kill with A Borrowed Knife

However, in just one day, everyone nearby knew that a group of rugged men came to Fanggu City would help the old lady across the street. After helping the old granny, she began to beat people up in the street and beat up a few. It was said that the person who was beaten up on the day went to Fanggu goverment to complain. Fanggu goverment had also sent people to their apartments, but they did not wait for anyone to return. Later, they heard An Zheng had gone to the Military Ministry and then to the Martial Arts Academy.

Fanggu govermant’s people waited for a full hour before they returned. They could only go back and tell An Zheng to come to the magistrate court.

An Zheng must go, though he didn’t like that place.

It was true that the capital officials were arrogant. And who could become a local magistrate in capital? Of course it’s the people who know the most.

In the six ministries of the capital, officials wearing red official clothes were able to easily meet a few of the rank 4 and 5 people in the street. If he couldn’t handle these yamen, he wouldn’t be able to handle the magistrate of the Fang clan. Everything had to be considered to be thorough, and it would come from both sides. Therefore, the Prefect of the Fang Gu Prefecture could never underestimate them. This was because those who sat on this official position would often rise up quickly. To say that he could not change his body, he became a important official in the imperial court.

However, the current magistrate, Xu Zhengsheng, was quite unlucky because he had caught up with a bad time.

Ever since the death of the King, the Empress Dowager had taken over the imperial court, and all of her rights had been taken over by the Su family. There was no way the imperial government could give Xu Zhengsheng any place to go. So no matter how good he was, he had little chance of promotion. When he had just entered the Prefectural Prefectural Insion, Xu was in high spirits. Because he knew very well that as long as he did well, he would soon be transferred to a higher position.

Zhuge Yan, the right prime minister, had been transferred up from the location of the magistrate’s manor. At the most glorious time, the sect had been born in the wilderness. However, as soon as Empress Dowager Su was in charge, Zhuge Yan’s rights gradually disappeared. The imperial court’s power gradually moved to the hands of lest Prime Minister Su Mao. Empress Dowager Su’s two younger brothers, Su Mao, was top officials of the civil service. It was said that soon her other brother, Su Zong, was to be appointed general, and that his rights were above general Fang Zhiji. The key point was that the two brothers were not even with her blood, and her real brother was king of Zhao.

Who is Fang Zhiji? It was a grand character that had been personally invited by the previous king, and that was called being a byword. And who was Su Zong? It is said that he did not understand lead soldiers.

Therefore, Xu Zhengsheng was very annoyed. She felt that she should think of some way to get out of this annoying Fanggu goverment. He’d made a lot of money these days, and he’d made a lot of things, but he hadn’t heard anything.

Now he was annoyed by Gou Zhanli’s affairs. He wished he could tear away the peaceful struggle that had just appeared.

But he couldn’t, because he hadn’t figured out what An Zheng was, and why he had attracted such attention. During the war, the troops were the heaviest, so Xu Zhengsheng didn’t dare to take the risk of favoring him in the slightest. Besides, Gou Zhanli was still in the prison, and he had sent people twice to get back. This morning, he heard that An Zheng had leveled up the Dafang agency with people. He hadn’t even left a single person, and all of them had all gone.

How could a young man from the outside world have such guts if he didn’t have a hard background?

Therefore, when the people outside came in to talk about the dispute, Xu Zhengsheng, even if he didn’t want to see this young man, had to welcomed him personally.

The light in the living room dimmed a little, so that when Xu Zhengsheng saw An Zheng, he looked at it carefully for a moment. He had heard that An Zheng was a teenager, and he hadn’t thought of being this young. He looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old. But An Zheng’s face was slightly older, but he was only fifteen.

“”My lord.””

An Zheng bowed.

He had an official position on him. Although he wasn’t in the military, he was still at level six. A rank six official who sees a rank five official doesn’t need to bow in respect.

“”As expected of young talent.””

Xu Zhengsheng gave a sincere smile and quickly walked two steps forward to support An Zheng’s arm with his hands. “”You don’t need to be so courteous. Please come here and just understand the case.””

“”My lord is the leader of the people of Fanggu City. You must have a busy official business, and you can also take the time to personally receive a lowly position. This humble position is truly shocking.””

Xu Zhengsheng’s impression of An Zheng was greatly improved. He thought that An Zheng was a person who was domineering and domineering. After meeting him, he felt a bit more comfortable in his peaceful manner.

“”Ai, I really do have a few things in this seat, so it’s fine for my opponent to teach me … Gou ZhanLi is such a heaven defying scum, and I can’t blame him. Luckily, you noticed this person’s sinister nature. Otherwise, how many people would be killed? “”

An Zheng sighed and said, “”You don’t know who’s good, but no one would have thought that such a thing would happen. I just arrived in the capital and gave my lord a lot of trouble, I’m really sorry. “”

Xu Zhengsheng hurriedly said, “”Being an official in the same dynasty, you are so polite.””

An Zheng put a box on the desk and said, “”This is some of the local specialties from the south. It’s not much of anything, but it’s rare in the capital.””

Xu Zhengsheng’s smile became even brighter. “”Why are you being so polite? Since you know me, we should meet more in the future. Don’t you think that you’re too polite?””

An Zheng said, “”Yes, I won’t dare to make another trouble next time.””

Xu Zhengsheng laughed out loud, “”Alright then, since it’s just some local specialty, I’ll accept it. I’ve arranged for a banquet in Deyue restaurant, I will go with you. I’ll introduce some of my colleagues to you. After that, everyone is familiar.””

Of course, An Zheng wouldn’t have fallen out with the Fanggu Goverment this early. He wanted to make use of this guy to confuse his own background.

“”Look, I’ve just went back from the Martial Arts Academy, then come to the magistrate court. I haven’t even changed my clothes. May I go back and change clothes first, then wait for your lordship at Deyue restaurant? “”

Xu Zhengsheng laughed, “”That’s good. Since it’s like this, go back first. We’ll meet later.””

An Zheng got up and left, smiling when he went out.

He just gave something, and this guy didn’t say anything about Gou Zhanli. In fact, he was very clear that he had crippled Gou, and Xu Zhengsheng was uncomfortable. If he wasn’t close to Xu Zhengsheng, it would be strange if he could be a head constable. However, Xu Zhengsheng was not a waste idiot. He knew the seriousness of things. An Zheng gave him a step down, and of course he came down the steps.

In fact, from entering the door to leaving, An Zheng and Xu Zhengsheng didn’t even say too much. However, this process was very important.

After An Zheng left, Xu Zhengsheng opened the gift box and discovered that there was an East Pearl and an account book.

The East Pearl was the size of a child’s fist. Without thousands of silver taels, it would not be able to buy it. Xu Zhengsheng was very pleased with the generous of An Zheng. As he opened the ledger his face changed again, it’s from the Dafang agency. It was clear that he had taken a lot of money from the agency. When, how many times, it was clear.

“”Gou Zhanli, you bastard!””

Xu Zhengsheng slapped the table and walked around the room several times.

The door creaked open and someone from outside entered the room. Private assistant Liu Sui came in. He immediately closed the door after seeing Xu Zhengsheng’s appearance. “”What happened?””

Xu Zhengsheng pointed at the account book on the table. Liu Sui quickly walked over to pick it up and look at it. When he saw the East pearl, he understood what was going on. “”did An Zheng sent over this?””

Xu Zhengsheng said, “”He personally sent it.””

Liu Sui let out a long breath, “”That’s alright, it means that this young man knows the seriousness of the situation, and also understands how to act. He personally sent the account book to you, and added an East Pearl. His attitude was clear, he didn’t want to have any irreconcilable conflicts with you. Therefore, stop this matter of Gou Zhanli. “”

Xu Zhengsheng said, “”I also think so. This An Zheng has personally come to the door. He has a very high regard for me, and his manners and demeanor also have the bearing of a name. His background is not uncommon. If he handed the book to the troops, it would be a robbery for me too. Empress Dowager Su was afraid that her subordinates didn’t have much of an official status. She wanted to arrange a person for herself at the same time as she wanted to see the sewing. If I fall, the empress dowager’s people will immediately be the magistrate. “”

“”So, this person can be a friend.””

Liu Sui said, “”There seems to be an uncountable attitude towards the age. This kind of age is impossible without the cultivation of a great family. Therefore, I still feel that we should contact this person more and be at least friendly. “”

Xu Zhengsheng nodded, “”Go send someone to the Deyue Restaurant to change the menu. I’ve set a table of ordinary dishes before, telling the people of Deyue Restaurant to change into the best. “”

Liu Sui bent over and said, “”I’ll make the arrangements.””

He took two steps, then turned around and said, “”Gou Zhanli, you can’t leave this person alive … I can go to the troops and send some silver into the prison, let him die there?””

Xu Zhengsheng waved his hand, “”Go ahead and arrange it. This ingrate is ungrateful. Without me to take care of him, can he have today? He actually dares to remember my accounts? He obviously doesn’t have a good heart. “”

Liu Sui nodded, “”Sure, then I’ll make arrangements as soon as possible.””

On the street, An Zheng and Du Shoushou walked side by side.

“”An Zheng, why did you send that rotten thing the east pearl? That fellow must be a corrupt official, how else would he be able to support a subordinate like Gou Zhanli? “”

Du Shoushou asked.

An Zheng asked, “”Should corrupt officials like this die?””

“”Yes!””

“”But I can’t kill him right now because he will involve us all. You and I think of Xu Zhengsheng as an enemy, but because of that East Pearl and account book, Xu Zhengsheng no longer treats us as enemies. “”

An Zheng said, “”Let the enemy treat us as friends, It’s just a East Pearl. With the group divided into groups, Xu Zhengsheng would most likely be in contact with a corrupt official as well as him. All of the men in the Military Ministry were real men. Later on, Xu Zhengsheng gave us information. We can understand more news and insider information in Fanggu. What a good spy, this East Pearl worth it! “”

“”Isn’t there another account book? That’s Xu Zhengsheng’s life,”” Du said.

“”It’s a fake.””

An Zheng samiled, “”The book was written by crazy Qu.””

“”Oh my god, you’re not afraid of him finding it’s fake.””

“”Do you think Xu Zhengsheng will remember how much money he gets from the agency?””

Du gazed blankly for a moment, then slapped An Zheng’s shoulder and said, “”F * ck me … Old fox!””

An Zheng laughed, “”You’re too polite. There’s no room for a man like Gou Zhanli to live. Make Xu Zhengsheng to kill Gou Zhanli, even better than we do it ourselves. “”

Du Shoushou said, “”Why didn’t I find you were so sinister?””

“”How can I let you see things like that? You were thrown a rock in the toilet last time, I won’t say anything.””

Du Shoushou said. “”Um, right... Holy sh * t!”” You threw the rock! “”
