County magistrate's mansion, backyard.

The weather is clear today and the wind is beautiful.

Gu Yuan was wearing a crimson brocade dress and had a rare leisure time to enjoy the cool air in the yard.

However, this kind of leisurely life was disturbed by a sound after a while.

"Mr. County Magistrate Zhao An, the magistrate of Wuling County, asked for a meeting!"

When Gu Yuan heard this, he frowned slightly, wondering, "What is he here to look for me?"

Although Zhao An is his subordinate, the relationship between the two is average.

Unless there is a key official business, the other party will never come to the door.

"Let him in."

Gu Yuan thought about the other party's purpose in his heart, and soon a slender figure entered the courtyard.

"Zhao An, the magistrate of Wuling County, please see Lord Gu!"

Zhao An was dressed in blue, had a elegant face and a beard.

A pair of eyes shine brightly, like two sharp swords hitting people's hearts.

He saw Gu Yuan on the seat with neither humble nor arrogant face, and bowed his hand.

But even when he bowed, he straightened his waist and a sense of high spirit came to his face.

Gu Yuan's head began to hurt when he saw the other party's sharp appearance.

Every time the other person looks like this, there is nothing good.

"Zhao An is here, hurry up and sit down."

Before Gu Yuan's body moved, the servant next to him immediately brought a chair.

"There is no need to sit down. Zhao An has to go back to handle official duties as soon as possible after he finishes his business."

Zhao An shook his head and said bluntly.

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes, and the other party's words were sarcastic to him.

The other party's county magistrate has too many official duties, but he, a dignified county magistrate, can still be so casual.

"Since Lord Zhao is busy with official duties, I will no longer be polite. What's going on with you? Tell me what you have done."

If the other party doesn't give him face, Gu Yuan naturally cannot stick to his cold butt with a warm face.

He looked indifferent, his tone was plain, and he looked like he was doing business.

Zhao An also heard the displeasure in the other party's mouth, frowned slightly, but didn't care.

"Xiaguan is here this time to ask Lord Gu if he knows the battle between the Li family and the Zhang family?"

Yesterday he got the news that the Zhang family was defeated by the Li family, but in order to collect more information, he did not immediately go to Gu Yuan.

Until today, he had found a lot of evidence and came to his door.

"Oh? There is actually this matter, can Lord Zhao tell me carefully?"

Gu Yuan was startled and asked quickly.

Zhao An has a light eyelid, but you, a county magistrate, don’t know that such a thing happened in the city.

Do you think I will believe it?

However, Gu Yuan deliberately pretended to be stupid and he couldn't question the other party, so he could only explain patiently.

"So that's it. Then the Li family, the Zhang family really doesn't take our court seriously. They fight in private. They are simply unlawful and have a great crime!"

After hearing this, Gu Yuan was furious and said angrily: "Mr. Zhao, since you have already obtained the evidence, then I authorize you to order the arrest of two people who are causing trouble!"

"Ah...this."

Zhao An was stunned when he heard this, with a hesitation on his face and did not agree immediately.

"Well? What's the secret of Lord Zhao?"

Gu Yuan saw the hesitation on the other person's face and asked.

Zhao An bowed and said embarrassedly: "Although the subordinates have collected some evidence, they are not equipped with enough personnel. The Zhang and Li families are too powerful to be unable to arrest the important criminals."

"So the official wants to ask Lord Gu to send General Arsenal Yan San to assist in the arrest."

You damn, you really want to catch me!

Gu Yuan's eyes widened and looked at the other party carefully up and down.

Why didn't he realize that this man is so brave?

"Mr. Zhao came here this time and turned out to be a borrower. There is no problem with this. I just don't know how Mr. Zhao plans to end after he catches the person?"

Gu Yuan sat down again, and he didn't dare to stimulate this man anymore, and said lightly.

"What does Lord Gu mean?"

Zhao An frowned when he heard this.

"It's not interesting. It's just that the Zhang family and the Li family are all counties of Wuling County. There are tens of millions of fertile land under it, hundreds of farms, and tens of thousands of people rely on two families to make a living."

Gu Yuan smiled, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"Your evidence is too variable and has no decisive ironclad evidence. I'm afraid it's a bit of a dream to use this to control the two companies."

"And once you can't defeat the two companies, you have to accept revenge from the storm of the two companies. They just need to speak out, and tens of thousands of people are dissatisfied with the county government, which will affect the reputation of the court."

"I don't know if Lord Zhao has considered this consequence."

Gu Yuan's voice was slow and even whispering, but it seemed like a blow to Zhao An's heart.

He did not consider these things, but what really shocked him was the attitude of the county magistrate Gu Yuan.

No matter how high-sounding the previous words are, they are actually exaggerating the two families.

His hands were hanging down, hiding under his sleeves. It was clearly early spring of the first lunar month and the sun was shining.

But he felt his hands and feet were cold, and his heart was frozen by the ice.

He came to the county magistrate's office with passion, thinking that what he got would be support.

The result is a basin of cold water.

Fortunately, he used to think that although Gu Yuan came from a noble family, he was indeed a pillar of the court and cared about the people.

Now, this is just his wishful thinking.

"It's because the lower official is not very careful, so I won't disturb the Lord's practice. The lower official said goodbye."

Zhao An left without any nostalgia, and left with Xinhan.

Gu Yuan sat on the Grand Master's chair and watched the other party leave calmly.

In terms of ability, Zhao An is undoubtedly a talent.

It’s a pity that the other party came from a poor family and was really dedicated to serving the court. He was not the same as him.

"I helped Li Yu block a disaster this time. Should I ask him for a drink?"

Although the strength of the Li family is enough to deal with Zhao An.

But this is not something he has to consider.

All he knew was that he had helped the other party.

Thinking of this in my heart, a servant suddenly came in to report.

"Sir, the Li family sent someone to deliver some specialties from your hometown."

"The specialty of my hometown? Go out and take a look."

Gu Yuan came to the open space in the front yard, and there were several large boxes on the ground.

As for the people from the Li family, they left after putting down their things.

Gu Yuan asked his subordinates to open the box and saw what was inside and laughed happily.

"Haha! I've found this specialty in my hometown very carefully. Nephew Li really knows me!"

He really wants to find the other party to have a good meal.

This time I was really just drinking, and there was no other meaning.

Here, Zhao An also returned to his residence.

When he first left the county magistrate's mansion, he was still a little discouraged.

Now he has turned his mind and rekindled his fighting spirit.

But as soon as he got home, he found a box in the hall.

His wife stood beside her, with an excited expression on her face.
