Lord Zhang Fei

469 Trapped [II]

After thinking for a long time, Ba Ye couldn’t help but looked around, and said in a deep voice: “Listen up. No one can leak the news of Master Shengtian’s death. If you let me know who is going out and talking nonsense, don’t blame Ba Ye for being ruthless.”

“Yes.” Everyone immediately responded in unison.

Ba Ye continued to say: “If anyone asks about the whereabouts of the young master, you can only say that you don’t know. Whoever says you know, I will never spare him.”

“Yes.” Everyone agreed again, and Eighth Master just waved his hand, and immediately put Shengtian’s body into the space stone and hid it.

Boss Cao stepped forward and asked, “Baye, what should we do now?”

Ba Ye looked at the people brought back by Boss Cao, and then at the seven dead bodies on the ground. He couldn’t help frowning deeply, and said in a deep voice, “You wait here for the news, Lao Cao, follow me to see the old man. I will explain the process in detail, and don’t mention Shengtian.”

Boss Cao hesitated for a moment, then cupped his fists and said, “Yes.”

Ba Ye immediately waved his hand, put the corpses of the seven people into the space ring, turned around and walked out with his followers. Boss Cao turned his head to look at the group of people under him, nodded his head slightly, and followed them out.

Fei briefly told Mei’er what he saw, and then asked, “Mei’er, what do you think we should do?”

.....

Mei’er couldn’t help gritting her teeth when she heard the words: “Hmph. It’s cheap for that old bastard. It’s important that we find a way to save Fatty first.”

Fei nodded and said: “Yes, the monks can’t run away from the temple if they decided to run away. Now that we have found their foothold, we don’t believe we can run away from them. And depending on the situation, they will definitely come back here. Let’s think about it first.” Rescue fatty, and then study how to catch them all.”

Seeing that Fatty and the rest of the people were arranged in the rooms on the left and right, Fei secretly took note of Fatty’s room, pulled Mei’er, and the two turned around and left.

After inquiring all the way, the two of Fei finally found the location of Daqi Town. He saw that the gate of the yamen was not as majestic and solemn as imagined, there was not even a gatekeeper, and people went in and out, just like shopping in a vegetable market.

Was this really a government office? Fei and the two couldn’t help being startled, they saw the words “Daqi Town Official Office” clearly written on the top of the gate.

The two couldn’t help but curiously followed the passing pedestrians into the yamen. After entering the door, there is a large courtyard inside, and the circle around is full of wing rooms. There are signs written on the door of each wing room, such as taxation, escort, purchase registration, shipment registration, storage of precious items, etc. There are many people lined up at the door of each wing room.

Fei couldn’t help but wonder to himself, many departments here should be private businesses. When did the government start to operate here?

Finding a wing room marked “Consultation Service”, he found that it was relatively quiet, so Fei walked up to the person inside and asked, “Excuse me, do you have anyone in charge?”

A young man behind the desk looked at Fei and the two of them, and was immediately attracted by Mei’er’s appearance. He was slightly taken aback, and still staring at Mei’er without squinting, he asked, “What do you want?”

Fei couldn’t help coughing dryly, and took out the certificate bestowed by Emperor Longwei from the space, and said, “Go and inform your supervisors that the city lord Fei is here to take over Daqi Town, let them come and welcome them.”

The young man was stunned when he heard the words, took a look at the voucher Fei handed over, and couldn’t help but look at Fei carefully again. After discussing with the people next to him, he just said: “My lord, please sit inside, please wait a moment, I will take it to our lord right away.” Please visit f𝗿e𝙚𝙬ℯ𝚋n𝚘ν𝗲l. 𝐜𝐨𝗺

Afterwards, they let Fei and two into the back room, turn around and go out with Fei’s credentials.

After about a stick of incense, the young man came back with another middle-aged man. As soon as he entered the room, the middle-aged man clasped his fists and said, “May I ask who is Mr. Fei?”

Fei immediately got up and cupped his fists and said, “Fei is here.”

The middle-aged man quickly stepped forward and said, “Master Zhang, this is the head of the government office of Daqi Town, named Liu Qi. We adults have received instructions a few years ago, saying that this town has been given to Mr. Fei, But I have never seen Mr. Zhang come to claim it. Mr. Zhang made a sudden visit today, and my lord has not made any preparations, so I ask you to go to the back hall to have tea first, and my lord will be there soon.”

Hearing this, Fei clasped his fists and said, “Then there will be Manager Liu.”

After all, under the leadership of Director Liu, Fei and Mei’er came to the apse together. Compared with the front yard, this place is very quiet, except for a few yamen servants standing guard, no one could be seen walking around.

As soon as Fei and Mei sat down in the hall, they saw a middle-aged man in official uniform running in.

As soon as he entered the hall, the official came over to Fei with a smile on his face. When he got close to Fei, he knelt down on his knees and shouted: “Yu Wenli, the governor of Daqi town, pays homage to the city lord.”

Fei had never received such a big gift before, so he quickly stepped forward to help him up, and said: “Your Excellency, you don’t need to be too polite. How can Fei stand up to your worship.”

I saw that after the adult got up, he first returned Fei’s city lord certificate to Fei, and then waved to his subordinates, and immediately someone came forward with a stack of thick books.

Master Yu took these books and said: “City Master, these are all the accounts of the past few years since you took over Daqi Town. Including account entry, payment, taxation, profit, expenditure, etc., please read it.”

Fei immediately waved his hand and said, “No need, Mr. Fei is a very capable person at first glance, and these accounts will not be wrong because of his management.”

Master Fei couldn’t help nodding and laughing when he heard the words: “The city lord has won the prize.” He said that he would return the book in his hand to his subordinates, and the messenger immediately went back with the book in his arms.

When Fei saw this, he couldn’t help but thought: “My lord is really neat and tidy in his work. I just said it casually, and he went along with the flow, and he didn’t know how to be modest. It seems that this account must be full of holes.”

But he didn’t care about it, so he didn’t pursue it. But Mei’er looked at the lord Yu and couldn’t help frowning slightly, as if she was very dissatisfied. But with Fei present, Mei’er didn’t say much.
