The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 706 Where is the Sheriff's Mansion?

—— Suzhou branch county.

At the hour of the hour, the street was noisy and bustling, and many shops were opened, and a man wearing a black gauze hat stopped in front of the steaming steamed stuffed bun shop.

The man looks dusty, and the horse beside him is the best thousand-mile red and brown horse in the station.

The owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop hurriedly put the handkerchief for wiping the table on his shoulder, and asked with a smile, "My lord, what do you want?"

"Two meat buns, take them away." The man in the bamboo hat couldn't see his face clearly, but he could only hear his voice as a very impatient person.

The boss quickly opened the steamer, and suddenly the hot air rushed to his face, hot and fragrant. Because he hadn't eaten for a long time on the road, the man's stomach inevitably growled.

Two fat and white buns were packed in a paper bag and fell into the hands of the man. The man stuck them into the veil and ate a couple of mouthfuls without caring about burning them.

One hand was rummaging for money in his bosom, but he couldn't find copper coins, so he had to give some broken silver.

The owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop paused, and when he was about to go to get the silver scale, the man said, "You don't need to look for it, just ask, where is the prefect's mansion in Suzhou Zhijun?"

"Sheriff's Mansion?" The boss, who was about to walk inside, stopped, and then stretched out his finger: "It's just ahead, if you keep walking along this street, you can see it, and the two big lions at the door are very conspicuous. "

After all, the boss held the money and cupped his hands at the man again: "Thank you, sir."

The man obviously didn't have much time to waste time here, he jumped on his horse and walked forward at a moderate pace.

Ma'er shuttled through the busy streets, and soon saw the two big stone lions mentioned by the owner of the bun shop, and the three gold-plated characters on the door plaque, the county guard's mansion, were even more conspicuous.

These days, he rushed to this Suzhou quickly, and finally saw the county guard's mansion.

After stopping, he got off his horse, and the guard of the sheriff's mansion was heavily guarded. Immediately, a guard with a knife came over to him, and asked coldly, "Who is here?"

For this question, it is obvious that the Sheriff's Mansion is easy to talk to, and no one will drive you away indiscriminately as soon as someone comes.

The man cupped his hands and saluted, and said: "I am from the capital, and I have a message to pass on to the regent, please pass it on."

As he spoke, he took out a warrant.

Hearing about the capital and the regent, the attitude of the guards eased a lot, but they still didn't intend to take over the warrant, they just said: "It's just a coincidence, the regent and my lord went down to the secret river of the palace, and they are not here now. Fuchu."

Naturally, there is no way to pass it on.

"Dark River?" The man hesitated for a moment, took back the warrant he handed out, and asked, "Do you know when the regent will return?"

"Oops!" The guard frowned and thought, then shook his head: "I don't know, I've been away for several days, so I think it's too late, why don't you stay in Suzhou Zhijun and wait for two days? "

Wait two days?The man's mood is complicated for a while, I'm afraid he can wait, but time waits for no one.

Now he has no other choice but to decide to stay in Suzhou and wait.

"Thank you." The man clasped his fists again, then got on his horse and left.

The guard watched the man leave, and then continued to stand guard. A person next to him asked, "This man came in such a hurry, maybe there is something serious."

"Then what can we do?" The guard spread his hands. Now that the regent and the governor are in the dark river under the palace, he can't get in even if he wants to pass the news.
