Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 670 Expedited Processing

At this point, Zheng Jie realized a problem.

This old vine can come out, but it may not be able to go back.

Although what he said earlier was meant to scare Lao Man, it also made sense.

Who can guarantee that he can come and go without anyone noticing?
Since that's the case, let's take this opportunity to take down those few who are unruly.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jie glanced at Luo Mao, then turned and left.

Luo Mao understood what he meant, and followed a couple of steps slower. Before leaving, he told Lao Man to wait there.

Once outside, in a secluded corner, Zheng Jie waited for Luo Mao to catch up and asked, "How did you manage to get this person?"

Luo Mao replied, "Does Your Excellency still remember that man from Xiaoshan Town yesterday? He often deals with the people of Xunxian Town and once had the opportunity to enter it. I sent him deep into Xunxian Town, and fortunately he fulfilled his mission and brought the man out without delaying Your Excellency's important business."

"Where are the people from Xunxian Town now?" Zheng Jie asked.

"Wait at the county office for orders."

"Summon them."

"Yes."

Luo Mao personally brought the man over. It was clear that Luo Mao had given him some training on the way. As soon as the man arrived in front of Zheng Jie, he knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "This humble subject, Qingfu, greets Your Excellency, the Prefect."

"Tell me in detail how you found the person and how you brought them out of Xunxian Town."

"Yes, yes," Qingfu said. "This morning, Lord Luo came to see me and asked me to find Lao Man. I had no choice but to try to find a way to go to Xunxian Town."

Fortunately, someone in Xunxian Town had ordered a basket of grain from me earlier, and they hadn't come out to pick it up yet, so I used the excuse of delivering the grain to sneak in.

After finding Lao Man, I told him that the men were looking for him, and after much persuasion, he finally agreed to come out with me. However, he was too sentimental to take the main road, so he led me down a secluded path.

"Did you run into anyone on the way?" Zheng Jie pressed.

"No." Qingfu answered affirmatively at first, but then became uncertain, "Isn't that right?" Zheng Jie kept a straight face, thought for a moment, this matter couldn't wait.

Since the other villages showed no intention of changing their ways, he had no reason to resort to force.

He refused to believe that after dealing with a few ringleaders, the others would remain incorrigible.

Zheng Jie said to Luo Mao, "Keep an eye on Lao Man, treat him well with good food and drink, and don't let him run away."

After giving his instructions, he turned to leave.

Luo Mao took two steps to catch up, "Sir, where are you going?"

"Weishan Camp".

Luo Mao immediately understood Zheng Jie's intention and said to Qing Fu beside him, "You should go back first. Don't run around during this period of time, and don't say anything carelessly. If the people of Xunxian Town hear about this, the county will hold you accountable!"

Qing's father left the county government office with a deathly pale face.

Meanwhile, Zheng Jie and his men rode swiftly along the official road straight to Weishan Camp.

When Song Qingfeng heard that the prefect of Liangzhou had come to his door, he couldn't help but feel surprised.

Why this sudden visit, without even sending a message beforehand? Is it urgent, or is it just another one of those idiots?
"Invite him in."

Soon his subordinates led Zheng Jie inside. When Song Qingfeng saw the man who entered, his eyes lit up. The man was a rare sight to be seen with such a handsome appearance.

Although I had heard about it before, it was still different from seeing it with my own eyes.

"Prefect Zheng." Song Qingfeng stood up to greet him, though he was still somewhat wary, he was very hospitable on the surface.

Just because of his face, he's willing to give the other party some face, as long as their request isn't too unreasonable.

"General Song," Zheng Jie said, bowing. "Please forgive my sudden visit."

"Prefect Zheng, is there something urgent that you have come here?"
