You sell swords, I go crazy, I am a father in Shengjing

"Song Yichun is not a peaceful person. He used to rely on the large sums of food taken from our city to start a new business, and now he has kidnapped Wu Kui's generals. If this continues, our city will not be ranked second. Behind a county seat?"

Among the government offices in Fucheng, three county magistrates rarely visited the prefect Zhou Zhiyuan's door together, wanting to discuss with him the matter of Qingquan.

As the head of a county, they are considered to be the top officials in Mingzhou, and they will definitely be held accountable by the court.

It can be said that they previously followed the arrangements of Zhou Zhiyuan, the prefect, and spared no effort to help extract people's wealth. This was all based on the other party being able to protect them.

Don't they know how risky this is?

of course I know!

But none of them want to develop in a promising princess fiefdom like Mingzhou. They want to be transferred to other states and counties as soon as possible so that they can serve as officials in Beijing.

However, now that Princess Zhaoming is about to fall and the fiefdom of Mingzhou is about to be taken back, why doesn't this matter develop in the direction they want?
What's the big deal for him, Song Yichun, to stand out alone?

"Look, Lord Magistrate, we are sparing no effort to follow you, but Song Yichun broke the rules and wants to take all the credit!"

"No, if we all stay in Fucheng, just wait for the imperial court to send troops to suppress the bandits, but he...hey!"

Seeing his three colleagues sighing in front of him, obviously trying to force him to put pressure on Song Yichun and Qingquan, Zhou Zhiyuan's face could not help but turn cold.

He also knew the worries of the three people in front of him. After all, if everyone did nothing and all assumed that Princess Zhaoming was cruel and unjust, the matter might be covered up.

But Song Yichun was jumping up and down here, making them unable to do anything...

If this matter was discovered by interested people in the court, wouldn't they become a springboard for Song Yichun?

"Everyone, please be patient. We have made a final decision on this matter. We will not let Song Yichun ruin our good deeds under any circumstances." At this point, Zhou Zhiyuan paused again and said:

"Don't forget that I and you are also in the same boat."

After receiving Zhou Zhiyuan's words, the three county magistrates walked out of the government office gate peacefully.

As soon as they left, Sanqi immediately walked in with the secret message sent by the Green Forest Army.

"Okay, okay, that old man Wu Kui finally has some brains! The feud between our two families can be settled later, but if we ruin the good things above, I'm afraid he and I will both lose our heads."

After quickly reading the letter in his hand, Zhou Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Wu Kui and he had thought together and wanted to eradicate Qingquan first.

He had already regarded Sanqi as a close confidant, so he did not avoid Sanqi. Instead, he quickly wrote a reply and ordered Sanqi to send someone to deliver it quickly.

However, Sanqi, who took the letter, seemed to be running very fast, but in fact, as soon as he left the house, he ducked into a corner and used the methods he learned from the organization to tear it apart.

So when the letter arrived in Wu Kui's hands, Feng Xi and Qi Xiao also received a secret letter from Sanqi.

"If Wen Xing and others had not come to defect, or if they had brought fewer people to defect, our delaying strategy might not have failed so quickly."

Qi Xiao lit the letter and looked at Feng Xi with a pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, as if waiting for her to speak.

Feng Xi commented without any pretense:
"That's not the case. What's the fun of these noobs pecking each other?" (End of Chapter)
