At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Xia Yun raised his eyebrows.

"Sir, what I mean is very simple. Chen Hanzhi is very likely to kill someone to silence him!"

Xiao Haiyang, who was used to the infighting in official circles, added.

Xia Yun then fell into deep thought.

What Xiao Haiyang said does make sense.

The entire prefectural government office has been closed these days.

As long as Chen Hanzhi is not a fool, he can roughly guess one or two things.

As for Jiangning Prefecture.

So they were under control of the troops under Lei Zhenlin's command, but no one could guarantee whether someone would secretly escape and report the news to Chen Hanzhi.

In this way, Chen Hanzhi might have already known the truth that Zhang Qingquan and others were imprisoned in the dungeon of the prefectural government.

"What do you think we should do?"

Suddenly, Xia Yun asked back.

Xiao Haiyang actually raised the question, so he must have a solution to it.

"Your Excellency has many brave generals and elite soldiers under his command, so why bother asking me this question?"

Xiao Haiyang smiled.

Another surprise that Xia Yun brought to him was the troops under Xia Yun's command. In his eyes, they were truly an extremely elite team.

Not only does he completely obey orders, but he also has extremely strong execution capabilities.

Hearing this, Xia Yun laughed.

"If he dares to come, this government will set up a trap to catch him!"

A gleam of light flashed in Xia Yun's eyes, and he already had a plan in mind.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the entire prefectural government office fell silent again.

However, what was different from before was that Xia Yun sent out dozens of spies, dressed in black, and distributed them to various places in Hangzhou City.

At the slightest sign of trouble, the spies would immediately report the news back to the prefectural government.

Inside the yamen.

Jiang Wenzhong, Chong Heihu and others each led their soldiers to be on high alert. Even though they were not sure whether anyone would attack the prefectural government office, they were ready to fight at any time.

As for Xia Yun, he entered the dungeon at this time.

The dozen or so corpses originally stored in the dungeon had been secretly moved out of the yamen by Xia Yun and stored in an ice cellar.

Therefore, after Xia Yun entered the dungeon, he did not smell the disgusting and pungent smell.

Soon, Xia Yun met Zhang Qingquan and others who were imprisoned.

After two or three days of treatment, Zhong Mingren's injuries have been brought under control, and at least he will not die from the festering of the wound.

When Zhang Qingquan saw Xia Yun, he immediately became excited.

"Sir, I have realized my mistake. Please let us go, sir."

Zhang Qingquan knelt on the ground, looking extremely embarrassed, and even burst into tears on the spot.

Even after the dozen or so corpses were moved away, the dark environment in the dungeon still tortured him to the point of driving him crazy.

"Want to go out?"

Xia Yun's mouth curled up slightly.

"My Lord, I want to go out! I want to go out!"

Zhang Qingquan understood the meaning of Xia Yun's words, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

He can also do anything to survive.

"Someone, open the cell door."

Xia Yun then signaled to the two guards behind him to release Zhang Qingquan directly from the cell.

"It's not impossible to survive, but you need to do something for this government."

Xia Yun continued speaking immediately.

"My lord, I am willing to take one, ten, or a hundred!"

Zhang Qingquan knelt on the ground and kowtowed frequently.

"very good."

Xia Yun nodded, very satisfied with Zhang Qingquan's attitude.

"This government needs you to return to Chen Hanzhi with a guilty conscience and find out all the evidence of his crimes. Then this government will report to the court and ensure that you will not die and will be exempted from all punishment and guilt."

Xia Yun said calmly.

Zhang Qingquan was stunned, not understanding how he could get back to Chen Hanzhi.

"Sir, I am willing to take the blame and make merit, but I don't know how to return to Chen Hanzhi's side?"

Zhang Qingquan asked cautiously.

He was afraid that Xia Yun would be dissatisfied and send him back to the dungeon.

"You don't need to worry about this. Someone will come to jailbreak the prison and we will take the opportunity to let you leave the prefectural government office."

"Remember not to reveal any flaws in front of Chen Hanzhi, otherwise you know the consequences."

Xia Yun's last sentence contained an obvious threat.

Zhang Qingquan had been an official for many years and had a family in Hangzhou.

If he found out, Zhang Qingquan did not carry out his plan after returning to Chen Hanzhi.

He would arrest all of his family members without hesitation.

"Don't worry, sir. I will remember your instructions and complete the task you have assigned me!"

After getting a definite answer, Zhang Qingquan kowtowed again.

In fact, Xia Yun's worries were a bit suspicious.

Zhang Qingquan is not a fool. After experiencing so many things, he can see clearly that Chen Hanzhi is no match for Xia Yun.

If he continued to follow Chen Hanzhi at this time, he would undoubtedly be seeking his own death!

Soon, Xia Yun left the dungeon.

Also leaving with him was Zhang Qingquan, who was wearing a hood.

No one found any trace of him.

Ten p.m.

The two spies hurried back to the prefectural government office from outside.

"Sir, a large number of strange figures have appeared outside Hangzhou City, and are climbing through chains to enter Hangzhou City."

After returning to the yamen, the spy reported the news immediately.

"Is he here after all?"

A cold snort came from Xia Yun's mouth.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Haiyang's words actually came true.

"Pass the order down. All women and servants in the government office are to hide in the back hall. Send a hundred soldiers to guard it."

"The rest of you, all get ready to kill the enemy!"

Immediately afterwards, Xia Yun issued two orders in succession, unconsciously emitting an aura of dominance.

Once the order is conveyed.

The prefectural government office, which had originally quieted down, was then filled with the sound of clashing weapons.

All the female members of the family, including Xu Wan'er, and the servants moved into the back hall and hid there. At the same time, the entire back hall was surrounded by a hundred soldiers armed with guns.

The rest of the troops, under the command of Jiang Wenzhong, all entered the ambush position.

At the same time, in order to set up a trap, the entire road leading from the dungeon to the outside world was left unguarded.

Including the yamen runners in the dungeon, all of them had already been evacuated.

Time flies and it's midnight.

With a fierce sound of killing, hundreds of Japanese pirates dressed in black rushed into the prefectural government office with knives in hand! And they attacked directly in the direction of the dungeon.

"My lord, they are coming."

In the lobby of the yamen, Chong Heihu heard the noise outside and immediately spoke.

Xia Yun, who was sitting on the armchair, had a cold look on his face.

"kill."

But then Xia Yun uttered an extremely cold word, "Kill."

The next moment, the entire prefectural government office was filled with shouts of killing!
