Chapter 180 – A Strong Dragon Cannot Suppress a Snake on the Ground (2 / 2)

Jun Qian Hao walked in, holding a bundle in his hand, and when he came in, he saw her draped in a cloak, and after he put the bundle down, he did not speak and turned to leave.

When Mu Zi Yan saw him like this, her eyes flashed with a flash of ghostly light, then she went forward and opened the bag, then she saw that inside were brand new soft boots, she looked at them and could not understand.

Zhang Zong also walked in at this moment, looking at the soft boots placed on Mu Zi Yan’s table, and then looking at Mu Zi Yan, “This was specially ordered by Third Highness to be made.”

“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “I don’t need it.”

“You’ll know if you try it.” Zhang Zong said with a smile.

“I know without wearing it.” Mu Zi Yan looked at Zhang Zong, “I know by looking at the workmanship, there must be something padded here, so that walking will not tire your feet.”

“En.” Zhang Zong nodded his head and responded, “I know that your two maids are capable, I think that the two of them haven’t gotten around to making it for you yet”

“How did you get to be a lobbyist,” Mu Zi Yan asked in disbelief.

“Going out, why do you need to be so clear,” Zhang Zong is considered to be a non-conformist, in addition to the rules of etiquette, he will certainly comply with the outside, for these he feels that there is no need to be so serious.

The corner of Mu Zi Yan’s mouth turned away, “I know, it’s just that I’m different from you, and when I do accept it, the meaning in it becomes different.”

“It’s me who didn’t think it through well.” Zhang Zong understood now, so he did not say anything more.

Mu Zi Yan continued, “Big Brother Zhang, you should rest early, this town will remain for a few more days.”

“Somehow, I always feel that something will happen.” Zhang Zong continued, “Smokey, it’s going to be a year, and when you go back, you should be at maturity.”

“How come Brother Zhang is always thinking about my maturity,” Mu Zi Yan said with a low smile.

“That is a major life event ah, if the third prince really went back and made great achievements, he incidentally asked for a decree to give marriage, how should you” This is Zhang Zong’s biggest worry.

“What if he can’t make it back,” Mu Zi Yan sneered.

“He can’t go back” Zhang Zong’s brows furrowed, “Then wouldn’t I not be able to go back as well”

“I’m just joking.” Mu Zi Yan laughed lightly.

“Then you also rest early.” Zhang Zong sighed helplessly, turned around, and left the house.

Mu Zi Yan glanced at the soft boots and put them away, then placed them on the table, turned around and lay down to rest.

The next day, she went out of the guest room, holding the bundle in her hands, and when she saw Jun Qianhao come out, she returned it to him, “Third Master, I won’t be needing this.”

“Oh.” Jun Qianhao saw that she had really returned it, but with a faint smile, he lifted his hand to take it, drew the cold sword at his waist, and then he twisted the soft boots to pieces.

Mu Zi Yan did not think so, just followed him out down the stairs, Zhang Zong was already waiting for the two of them, the three of them then went out of the inn, since they were roaming the streets.

Zhang Zong stood at Mu Zi Yan’s side, looking at the bustling streets within this town, turning his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, the two of them whispering.

And not far away from the sound of coaxing, Jun Qianhao walked in the forefront, lifting the step will go forward, and so on, will see a woman fell on the ground, aside an old man lying down, there are two pugnacious man toward the old man a little punching and kicking, and at that moment will be the woman fell on the ground grabbed up, directly taken away.

When Zhang Zong saw this, he was so angry that he wanted to go forward to stop it, but he was stopped by Mu Zi Yan.

Jun Qianhao’s eyes were slightly condensed, and he had since sent someone to follow him forward.

Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at him, “I’ve seen less of this kind of bullying.”

“Too bold.” Zhang Zong shouted in a low voice.

The people on the side have looked at the old man lying on the ground spitting blood, nose and face, but no one to go forward to help, but surrounded by a pointing.

“Still really doesn’t know how to die.” One person muttered from the sidelines, “Even the grandson of the Lord Governor dares to mess with it.”

“Rather rare.” Zhang Zong whispered.

Jun Qian Hao raised his eyebrows and turned his eyes to watch Mu Zi Yan go up to that old man, lifting his steps to help him up, but was stopped by Jun Qian Hao, signaling the guards behind him to help that old man up and carry him directly to the nearby medical center.

Mu Zi Yan was standing quietly behind her since, after a while, she saw the guards who followed her forward come forward to report, Jun Qian Hao’s eyes flashed with a cold light, turning his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, “This Governor’s residence and Marquis Mu’s residence are quite the friends.”

“I know.” Mu Zi Yan responded frankly.

“What do you think should be done about this matter” Jun Qian Hao but threw the dilemma to Mu Zi Yan.

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “And how”

“Aren’t you afraid that the Marquis Mu will be implicated,” Jun Qianhao felt that she was acting too calmly.

“The Governor’s Office is the Governor’s Office, the Marquis of Mu is the Marquis of Mu, and not involved, it is hard not to be the grandson of the Governor’s Office is the Marquis of Mu is not” Mu Zi Yan know what is implicated, but now is not to the point of being implicated.

Jun Qianhao hooked his lips and smiled, originally thinking to scare her a bit, but did not realize that she in turn knew more than he did about the stakes, and he could only sigh in secret.

Zhang Zong stood aside without saying a word, but thought to think, the strong dragon can not suppress the snake, not to mention the sky high emperor far away, this governor is a bully since this place, since it is not subject to constraints, if really pursued, this Western Transportation Governor seems to be in the Prince’s place.

When Jun Qianhao saw Zhang Zongzheng looking at him, he smiled faintly, “The Crown Prince’s party.”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lightly, “It seems that this first stop has run into big trouble.”

“What’s the trouble,” Jun Qianhao said in disbelief, “Even if he’s bigger, can he still get past me?”

Mu Zi Yan nodded slightly, “That’s true.”

“Go pay your respects.” Jun Qianhao said and turned to leave.

Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at Zhang Zong, “I would like to see what this Third Prince is capable of.”

“Smokey ah, you have to be careful.” Zhang Zong whispered.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded, “It is to beware, this Western Transportation Governor is not one to be messed with.”

“Yes.” Zhang Zong nodded his head and responded, “I’ll be able to block it for a while.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows and hooked her lips in a light smile, “What are you blocking”

“What if this hot potato is thrown to me when the time comes,” Zhang Zong, however, could not trust Jun Qianhao.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes and stared at Jun Qian Hao’s back, nodding her head in approval, “It would be.”

“Yes, I can’t suppress this Western Transportation Governor.” Zhang Zong sighed, “A big official can crush people.”

“Haha.” Mu Zi Yan couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Jun Qianhao stopped walking and turned to look at her, his eyes flashing with a flash of doubt, “What are you laughing at”

“The weather is good.” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at the sky and said faintly.

Zhang Zong couldn’t help it now, forcing a smile and twitching the corners of his mouth a few times one after another.

When Jun Qianhao saw that she returned this casually, he slowed his pace and proceeded to walk beside her, “I also feel that the weather is good this day.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows, then she saw him stride forward.

Zhang Zong couldn’t help but sigh, “See, Smokey, you’re considered to be completely targeted by him.”

“Stare at it then stare at it.” Mu Zi Yan said in disbelief.

“You are quite open-minded.” Zhang Zong couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, if he were to be stared at in such a manner, 80% of him would have already become annoyed.

Mu Zi Yan does not take this person seriously, since he does not care and will not be annoyed, the big deal is to treat him as air.

As Jun Qianhao traveled to the Governor’s Mansion, the guards accompanying him had already come forward to hand the paperwork representing his identity to the guards guarding the door.

Not long after, will see a person personally out, dressed in official robes, tall and powerful, now already over half a hundred years old, but still spirited, she remembers that this Western Transportation Governor was originally from the grandfather’s barracks out.

However, the Governor of Western Transportation in his previous life was a diehard loyalist of the Crown Prince, and then the Crown Prince fell, and he fell with him.

Mu Zi Yan saw Western Transportation Governor Zhang Qian step forward and kneel on one knee, respectfully saluting, “I see Third Highness.”

“There is no need to be polite, Senior Zhang.” Jun Qianhao said with an imaginary support.

Zhang Zong looked at the Western Transportation Governor in front of him, with whom he was in fact a member of the family, while Zhang Qian saw Zhang Zong since then, and went forward and said, “So it’s Lord Zhang of Beijing Zhaoyin.”

“My humble servant has met His Excellency the Governor.” Zhang Zong arched his hand.

“This must be Second Miss Lu,” Zhang Qian said politely as he looked at Mu Zi Yan.

When Mu Zi Yan saw how easygoing Zhang Qian was, she didn’t dare to be arrogant and bowed respectfully with her eyes downcast, “My daughter, Lu Erniang, has met the Governor General.”

“I’ve heard that Miss Lu Er is as good as God at solving cases, it just so happens that this official has a tricky case here, I wonder if Miss Lu Er can help” Zhang Qian’s tone became more and more easy-going.

When Mu Zi Yan saw him say this, she whispered, “My daughter came with the Third Highness by decree, so she should listen to the orders of the Third Highness.”

Jun Qian Hao saw Mu Zi Yan did not take matters into his own hands at this moment, his eyes flashed a soft light of satisfaction, and he laughed lowly and said, “The Palace is on a tour in light clothing, but it’s just a casual game, and I didn’t expect to run into something interesting when I passed by this place.”

“I don’t know what Your Third Highness thinks” Zhang Qian looked at Jun Qianhao and asked.

“Since Governor Zhang has a request for you, just go by yourself.” Jun Qianhao said in a low voice.

Zhang Qian directly over him to ask about Mu Zi Yan, this is not in his eyes, but fortunately Mu Zi Yan vigilant, otherwise he face what is left!

Mu Zi Yan felt that Zhang Qian should not be at this time to make trouble, it must be too long to be the head of the ground, really forget the courtesy of the ruler and the minister.

Zhang Qian did not expect this Lu Erniang to be on the side of the Third Prince, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.

Zhang Zong said at this moment, “Your Third Highness, Lord Governor, my humble servant was ordered to accompany you, and His Holiness had given my humble servant a separate decree, that during the tour, if you encountered any tricky cases, they would all be investigated by this official personally.”

Zhang Qian heard secretly screamed bad, he was thinking of making things difficult for the three princes, where there is really what tricky case, now Zhang Zong but inserted a foot, he knew that Zhang Zong nature straight, especially in the face of difficult cases will be completely exposed, did not expect to really so.

Jun Qianhao saw Zhang Zong say so, and then smiled brightly, “Father has decreed that this is the business of Senior Zhang, so there is no need to ask for instructions from this palace.”

“Yes.” Zhang Zong just didn’t want Mu Zi Yan to be aggrieved, he could sort of see that this Qian was by no means a good person, if he didn’t step in, he might not know how to make things difficult for Smokey.

Mu Zi Yan looked at Zhang Zong with a light smile, knowing that today’s Zhang Zong is a bit more mindful than before, at that moment, Zhang Zong went to the Yamen with Mu Zi Yan, while Jun Qian Hao entered the Governor’s Mansion and exchanged pleasantries with Zhang Qian.

Zhang Zong looked at Mu Zi Yan, “This is strange.”

“Governor Zhang is taking a shot at the Third Prince.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly.

“Just why are you handing the ladder to the Third Highness” Zhang Zong asked in disbelief.

“This journey also do not know how many dangers will be encountered, this is only the first time will be so tricky, and I am only a folk girl, how can in front of the third prince wantonly” Mu Zi Yan looked at him and said, “If I really did that, back to the capital in the future all the fault can be mine. “

“Hey.” Zhang Zong sighed, “You girl is so young, you always think deeper than me.”

“Let’s not talk about this, it’s better to finish the errand and leave early.” Mu Zi Yan faintly said and finished, obviously not very interested in this kind of thing.

“What about the old man’s business,” Zhang Zong asked in disbelief.

“How many eyes and ears are here, I’m afraid that we’ve been watched since we arrived, it’s hard to guarantee that the old man isn’t doing a show.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, “I always feel that things won’t be so simple.”

“Can’t it be that the Crown Prince wants to take advantage of this,” Zhang Zong finally thought of the key point now.

“Not unlikely.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice.

“It is not advisable to stay here for a long time.” Zhang Zong said, and the two of them immediately rushed to the government office.

He has the official seal, the government offices since they do not dare to slow down, Zhang Zong and Mu Zi smoke since the busy day, where there is a tricky case, mostly trivial chicken scratch, wait until after the treatment, Zhang Zong’s whole face is iron blue.

Mu Zi Yan smiled down, “Alright, go back first.”

“Hmph.” Zhang Zong snorted coldly, “What is all this”

“Compared to the capital’s, this is indeed nothing.” Mu Zi Yan said in relief.

“If it weren’t for the urgency of the situation, I would have definitely done away with this incompetent prefect.” Zhang Zong coldly snorted.

Mu Zi Yan, of course, knew Zhang Zong’s temper, and said in a low voice, “These are just perfunctory, if you really want to take out your anger, it’s not without a solution.”

“Looks like you have an idea,” Zhang Zong said with a smile as his eyes flashed with a ghostly light.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan smiled and nodded, “But now we have to go to the Governor’s Mansion first.”

“Good.” Zhang Zong then revealed a smile, and the two of them left together.

Zhang Qian since the banquet, but also invited the singers to come to help, Mu Zi Yan and Zhang Zong went to the time, far from the hall dance girls enchanting, light and dance, Jun Qian Hao is half squinting his eyes to see is very focused.

However, Mu Ziyan knew that his mind was not on this at the moment, but rather on how to deal with Zhang Qian.

Seeing her enter, the corner of her mouth hooked up in a faint smile, “How’s it going”

“Back to Your Highness, it’s all done.” Mu Zi Yan returned truthfully.

“Sure enough, he is a godly hand at case solving.” Zhang Jin raised his voice in admiration from the side.

Zhang Zong stood at the moment and waited until he was seated, his face still gloomy.

Zhang Qian knows Zhang Zong’s temper, afraid that the things within the government office have been discovered by him, Zhang Qian is also a little uneasy at the moment.

Jun Qianhao saw Zhang Zong’s cold face and asked in a low voice, “Lord Zhang looks vaguely angry.”

“Hmph.” Zhang Zong then got up, seemingly unable to bear it, and continued, “Third Highness, this prefect is too incompetent, saying that it is a tricky case, but taking some old cases, and still some insufficient cases to perfume the minister.”

“Oh,” Jun Qianhao’s eyes slightly raised, turning to look at Zhang Qian, “Governor Zhang, didn’t you say just now that it was tricky?”

“Perhaps that prefect misunderstood what I meant.” Zhang Qian at this moment more and more annoyed Zhang Zong, but also sure of one thing, this Zhang Zong is definitely a chauvinistic, even if the back with the three emperors left, but also will not favoritism.

Mu Zi Yan could see Zhang Qian’s temptation, but she did not say much, instead, she lowered her eyes and picked up the tea and sipped it lightly.

Zhang Zong snorted coldly, “If that’s true, then what about this tricky case”

“Don’t be angry, Senior Zhang, this official will send someone to ask.” Seeing Zhang Zong like this, Zhang Qian then said.

“Lord Governor, if there is no tricky case, is it hard to believe that Lord Governor is teasing his subordinates” Zhang Zong looked straight at Zhang Qian and asked in a deep voice.

Zhang Qian’s face was cold, and he said in a low voice, “This official will not do such a thing since.”

“That’s good.” Zhang Zong was also not polite, and half of the pent-up anger in his heart was sort of eliminated.

Now the songs and dances that had been helping to cheer up could not be danced on since, and then they retreated, and all of a sudden the usual silence was restored, while Jun Qianhao did not speak again.

After half an hour, they see the next person to report, that the government Yin is also personally brambles to ask for forgiveness, is his momentary slip of the tongue, and there is no tricky case.

Zhang Qian was about to rebuke, Zhang Zong but preempted the opening, hard to the magistrate reprimanded the bloody head, and then went to the government office with Mu Zi Yan, all the files one by one to countercheck all over the place.

That prefect was too scared to make a sound, but instead followed behind Zhang Zong with his eyes downcast, on tenterhooks for the rest of the night.

Waiting until dawn the next day, Zhang Zong put the list of cases on the public case, staring at the magistrate, “What is this?”

“Back to Your Excellency, these cases have been closed.” The prefect raised his eyes to look at a word truthfully back.

“Case closed,” Zhang Zong coldly snorted, “you say, this above physical evidence can be sufficient”

“This was only human evidence at the time, as for that physical evidence, the human offender had already confessed, so the case was finalized.” The prefect secretly grumbled and whispered back.

“Tell me,” Zhang Zong said as he looked at Mu Zi Yan.

“Yes, Your Honor.” Mu Ziyan then took the case back up, and then looked at the governor and said, “How can we conclude the case without physical evidence and the witnesses’ words are not quite true, there are a lot of doubts inside.”

“This,” the prefect was dumbfounded by the question and could only lower his eyes in silence.

Zhang Zong then one by one will have doubts about the dossier turned, questioning, until dark, the government office has two eyes, footsteps floating, until the send away these two gods, then fainted on the ground, no gas.

Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at Zhang Zong’s face that was so smooth, and said with a light smile, “How does it feel?”

“Very good.” Zhang Zong nodded with a smile.

Mu Zi Yan continued, “This is just the beginning.”

“That prefect is so hasty in deciding cases, and I don’t know how many false and unjust cases he has made, I will definitely report this matter.” Zhang Zong said indignantly.

“There can be a few people in this world who aren’t succumbing to power” Mu Zi Yan looked at him, “You’re inevitable.”

“I understand, but those who are officials should put the people first, even if their abilities are limited, they cannot disregard human lives.” Zhang Zong coldly said.

Mu Zi Yan nodded her head slightly, “You have to think clearly, this Prefect was personally promoted by the Governor of Western Transportation.”

“Hmph.” Zhang Zong coldly snorted, “So what.”

Mu Zi Yan lowered her eyes and smiled lightly, “You can do as you please.”

“Dismissed and investigated.” Zhang Zong said in a low voice, and then he went to the Governor’s Mansion with Mu Zi Yan.

Zhang Qian was informed of what happened in the government office, which inevitably stored anger, but can not be angry in front of the face of the three emperors, after this toss, he could not wait for the three emperors to hurry up and leave only good.

Nonetheless, Jun Qianhao refused to leave and waited until Zhang Zong handed over the folders before he left with Mu Zi Yan and Zhang Zong.

Zhang Qian finally couldn’t stand it anymore and lost his temper for a long time, so he wrote a secret letter and sent it back to the capital.

Jun Qianhao rode his horse and turned his eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, “This was your idea, wasn’t it”

“That would also require Third Highness to cooperate.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “Otherwise, the Third Prince is afraid that it will be difficult to even get out of this first level alive.”

“You underestimate me.” Jun Qianhao sneered.

“Consider it as me not wanting to cause trouble.” Mu Zi Yan was of course clear that Jun Qian Hao would use his method to leave, however, it was bound to cause a lot of trouble, otherwise the Emperor wouldn’t have decreed for Zhang Zong to follow along with her.

“This move of yours can be worse than causing trouble.” Jun Qian Hao had to be impressed with Mu Zi Yan, without bothering to use a single arm, he was able to chop off one of Zhang Qian’s arms, making Zhang Qian not dare to act rashly.
