"Captain Xu, what brings you to my office? If you have anything to offer, please speak up. If not, I have a lot of official business to attend to, so I'll be leaving."

Huang Wenzhong was quite wary of Xu Feng. He knew that everyone had underestimated Xu Feng as a son-in-law.

Both his methods and his character are worthy of praise. If possible, he would definitely win people over to his side. Unfortunately, Huang Wenzhong also understood one fact: this is impossible.

From the moment he put on the Jinyiwei uniform, the two sides were naturally on opposite sides.

"Master Huang, do you have time to handle official business? I heard that the official business in the government office is piled higher than me. Why are you so diligent these days?"

Xu Feng slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

This old fellow is famous for not doing any practical work. There is no telling how many unjust, false and wrong cases he has been involved in, and he is often criticized by the people of Gusu City.

Huang Wenzhong knew that Xu Feng was playing tricks on him, but he didn't dare to get angry.

"You are joking, my Lord. As the local official of Gusu, I naturally have many official duties on my hands, and I dare not slack off."

"I am here today to submit another official business to you, sir. The Jinyiwei Yamen can handle this matter themselves, but I think it is better to hand it over to you, sir, so as not to appear to be overstepping our authority."

Huang Wenzhong suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, the words that came out of Xu Feng’s mouth the next second made Huang Wenzhong almost jump up and curse in anger.

"Jianfengshan was plotting a rebellion and sent someone to assassinate an imperial official. The assassin has been executed, but the culprit has escaped. It would be best if your county government issues a wanted order to prevent him from escaping to other places."

Huang Wenzhong pondered for a moment before speaking.

"After all, this is a case handled by you, the Jinyiwei. It's not appropriate for the county government to suddenly intervene. How about you, the Jinyiwei, issue a wanted warrant? This is your right, and no one will accuse you of interfering."

Huang Wenzhong was reluctant again and again. Once this wanted order was issued, he and Jianfengshan would be further and further away.

Unfortunately, Xu Feng didn't give him any face at all. He came here in person today just to make the county government implement this matter.

He obviously wanted to disgust Huang Wenzhong, but Huang Wenzhong couldn't do anything to him.

"Master Huang, please don't refuse. I have other matters to attend to. By the way, this matter has been reported to the court. Please don't slack off and bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible."

As soon as these words were spoken, Huang Wenzhong stopped refusing.

Xu Feng didn't really stay for dinner, he turned around and said goodbye and left.

Before he had gone far, he heard the sound of chores coming from the house. It seemed that Huang Wenzhong was very angry.

"Sir, please be patient, the person hasn't gone far yet!"

Wang Qingshan was somewhat helpless. After the Jinyiwei entered the city, Huang Wenzhong's house had already changed two or three sets of daily necessities.

"This Xu Feng is really going too far. He's treating me like a dog."

"And Jianfeng Mountain is a bunch of idiots. It's bad enough that they did things crudely, but they actually let someone catch them."

If you want to kill someone, you have to be more decisive and send more people to kill them directly.

At least this way we won’t be in the same dilemma as we are now.

Huang Wenzhong had no idea that this matter was not instructed by Jianfengshan at all, but was just Zuo Jincheng's wishful thinking. Jianfengshan knew nothing about it from the beginning to the end.

Now that Zuo Jincheng is acting crazy, whether Jianfengshan is involved or not is just a matter of words from the Jinyiwei. Even if they are blamed, Zuo Jincheng has no way to refute it.

"County Magistrate Wang, how do you think this matter should be handled? Should we issue a wanted warrant?"

Hearing Huang Wenzhong's question, Wang Qingshan suddenly felt a headache. You knew this matter was difficult to handle, so why did you throw it to me?

But these are the things he does on a daily basis, so it is impossible for him to pretend not to hear and not say a word.

"Sir, I think we can't just issue a wanted order for Jian Fengshan. It's enough for us to directly issue a wanted order for Song Heng. This way, we can get Jian Fengshan out of it. Even if the other party sends someone to ask about it, we will have an explanation."

"Jianfeng Mountain will definitely handle the rest of the matter on their own. We don't need to worry too much. Don't forget that the person standing behind Jianfeng Mountain is him."

Wang Qingshan's words made Huang Wenzhong fall into deep thought. There was indeed room for maneuver in such an arrangement.

He didn't need to offend Jianfeng Mountain, nor did he need to care about the Jinyiwei anymore.

Both sides can have an explanation.

"Okay, you really didn't let me down. I'll leave this matter to you. Capture Song Heng as soon as possible. It would be best if we could get him before the Jinyiwei catch him."

Wang Qingshan wanted to slap himself twice. He should not have said it so clearly.

But we have to arrange it as soon as possible.

On the other side, Song Heng did not stay long after escaping and went straight back to the Jianfeng Mountain headquarters.

If you want to survive, you won't have any chance if you keep hiding outside. There might be a glimmer of hope if you return to headquarters.

"Master, save me!"

With tears in his eyes, Song Heng told Chen Yushu, the leader of Jianfeng Mountain, about his experience in Gusu City.

Chen Yushu was shocked when he heard this. He had been in seclusion for some time and just came out yesterday. He thought nothing big was happening outside. Who would have thought that before he had time to celebrate the joy of his breakthrough, he heard a bombshell piece of news. This made him want to raise his hand and slap Song Heng to death.

"You idiot! Zuo Jincheng is young and impulsive, and you're an elder in the sect, so why are you so naive? They're the Jinyiwei, do you think they're just some useless losers waiting to die from eating and drinking in the Six Gates?"

"Even if we have to take action, we should send experts. This arrangement is no different from putting your head under someone else's knife."

Chen Yushu didn't expect that he would have such an idiot under his command.

The key point is that the other party did such a stupid thing and still dared to come back for help.

"Go and confess your guilt, take responsibility for everything, and don't involve the sect. This is the best outcome."

Song Hengru was struck by lightning and thought that he would have a chance to survive if he escaped to the sect, but who could have expected the same result.

"Master, please give me a way out for my past contributions. I have brought a lot of benefits to the sect over the years."

Seeing that he was about to continue falling, Chen Yushu interrupted him directly.

"That's enough. Do you think other people have no contribution to the sect? I will arrange for someone to take good care of your wife, children and the elderly. You can leave in peace. Don't force me."

At this point, Song Heng already knew that he was doomed to die.

"Can I say goodbye to my family?"

"Go ahead, and remember not to say anything you shouldn't."

Song Heng left the sect hall in a daze. Not long ago, he was still full of vigor and vitality, but after a short time, he no longer had the same prestige as before.
