Chapter 271 (1/2)
271 Wanted criminal of the Imperial court (1)
“Fushun bodyguard agency?”
Zhu guangxiao, who was standing not far away, asked as if he was seeking confirmation. He attracted the attention of everyone, including Governor Zhang.
“You know about this escort agency?” Governor Zhang asked with a frown.
“The Fushun escort agency is the caravan we met on our way to Yunzhou,” Zhu guangxiao replied.”They were massacred by bandits. The Fushun bodyguard agency has another name, the Fushun Chamber of Commerce.”
As he spoke, he looked at song tingfeng and Xu Qi ‘an, the two b * tches. That day, it was these two people who pushed the responsibility around and finally threw the job to him.
He was in charge of returning the relics of the Chamber of Commerce’s owner, Zhao long, to his family. Following the address, he found this Fushun bodyguard agency.
“Maybe they knew that the governor had returned from his inspection, so they specially came to thank him.” A silver Gong guessed.
If they hadn’t exterminated the mountain bandits and taken back the goods, the Fushun escort agency would have suffered a huge loss.
Hence, it was understandable that the rest of the bodyguards and Zhao Long’s family came to see the governor to express their gratitude.
This was the first good deed that Governor Zhang did when he first arrived in Yunzhou. He stroked his beard and chuckled,”Then let them in.”
Soon, three middle-aged men wearing thick green cotton clothes, black boots, and rat-skin hats came in under the guidance of the Huben guards.
On their chests, the words “Fu shun” were embroidered in red.
The three of them were empty-handed, as their weapons had been confiscated at the door.
Xu Qi ‘an narrowed his eyes and glanced at the three men. The bearded man was in the Qi refining realm, and the other two were in the essence refining realm.
“I’m Zhao Rui, the new head of the Fushun escort agency. Nice to meet you, Governor Zhang,” The bearded man bowed and cupped his fists.
In Confucian etiquette, one only knelt before the heavens, the earth, the sovereign, the parents, and the teacher. When people saw officials, they only needed to bow, and there was no need to kneel. Of course, there was an exception when they were in court.
No wonder he was at the Qi refining stage. He was the new head of the bodyguard agency … Only those in the Qi refining stage could run a big bodyguard agency … Xu Qi ‘an retracted his scrutinizing gaze.
“What is your relationship with Zhao long?” Governor Zhang nodded.
“Zhao long is my elder brother,” Zhao Rui said with a pained heart,”when we heard the news of his death, our family cried out in grief. I thank the governor for avenging my brother.”
After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed.
Governor Zhang accepted the kowtow calmly, thinking of consoling him with a few words and then saying some nice words to send him away.
Unexpectedly, after Zhao Rui got up, he said,”I came here not only to thank the governor for his kindness, but also to escort you.”
A bodyguard?
The crowd was stunned. They looked at the three of them again and realized that they were wearing the bodyguard’s clothes and not casual clothes.
“Why do you say so?” Governor Zhang asked after some deliberation.
Zhao Rui cupped his fists,”yesterday, a mysterious guest came to the bodyguard agency and said that he wanted to mail an” object “to the governor.” The guest also said,”that, that is a wanted criminal by the Imperial court, and he asked me to hand it over to the governor personally …”
“I know that this matter is against the rules. The wanted criminal should be handed over to the Yamen. But … He’s giving me too much.”
A wanted criminal of the Imperial court … Provincial governor Zhang turned his head and looked at Jiang Luzhong and Xu Qi ‘an. Jiang Luzhong’s eyes were filled with both astonishment and anticipation, as if he had realized something.
On the other hand, Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes were cloudy and unfocused, and she was not concentrating.
It was really unwise for Ning Yan to choose to advance to the spirit-refining realm at this time … Governor Zhang cursed in his heart, but he immediately thought that an ordinary person’s limit was ten years old. Normally, Xu ningyan should have been promoted successfully when he arrived in Yunzhou.
Who would have thought that he would be so outstanding?
“Bring him up!” Governor Zhang said in a deep voice.
Zhao Rui accepted the order and left the courier station with his two companions. He went straight to the carriage parked at the door. There were more than a dozen young and strong bodyguards guarding the carriage.
Seeing Zhao Rui come out, the young bodyguards understood. They dragged out a man with a sack over his head from the carriage and escorted him into the courier station.
The man’s foot seemed to have been injured before. He limped and limped, and it was extremely inconvenient for him to walk.
When they entered the station, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the man with the sack over his head. Xu Qi ‘an and a few others who knew Liang Youping’s strength were the most eager to see him.
Governor Zhang stood up and pointed at the man with The Gunny Sack over his head. His voice was a little urgent as he said loudly,”Quick, quick, take down the sack …”
Without the need for the guards to step forward, Zhang Rui tore off the sack first, revealing the man’s face.
His face was thin, his skin was rough, and his light brown eyes were extremely sharp.
Liang Youping, commander of the emissary division, experience of the division.
The Qi gang member who was on the run, the one who gave the account book to Xu Qi ‘an.
“I’ve worn out my iron shoes in. long search, but. ‘ve found it without any effort …” Governor Zhang muttered. He took a deep breath and ordered,
“Verify your identity!”
A copper Gong stepped forward, pinched Liang Youping’s face, and examined it carefully. He reported, “”It’s the real person.”
