At this time, both the prefect Zhang Juxian, the transfer envoy Lu Shouyi, the criminal and prison envoy Zhang Mu, and the Changping envoy Zhou Yun all received the news that the imperial driver had arrived in Xingzhou.

In an instant, everyone was preparing to march out of Xingzhou City with officials of all sizes from the yamen.

After leaving the city, Lu Shouyi saw Zhang Juxian and asked, "Your Majesty is really here?"

"Xiaguan has received the gold medal."

Lu Shouyi said: "I also received the call, but why was there no movement at all before?"

"The lower officials have no way of knowing."

The sun was scorching hot, and everyone was waiting outside the city.

At this time, Zhao Ning had already led a large force of people to approach Xingzhou.

Seeing that he was almost arriving in Xingzhou, Liu Wangxun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

These villains are really stupid, they dare to follow me to Xingzhou.

You know, Xingzhou is garrisoned by imperial troops.

Zongze, the commander-in-chief of Hebei and Hedong, deployed strategic depth on the central line. From Zhaozhou to Huazhou on the north side of the Yellow River, the Forbidden Army was deployed in every state capital.

It is hundreds of miles deep from north to south, and the sergeants train day and night. It is no longer comparable to those idiots in the past.

Once these villains arrive in Xingzhou, they will definitely alert the garrison troops, and by then, no matter how powerful they are, they will be done with it.

Thinking like this, Liu Wangxun felt quite reassured.

He endured the pain and said to Zhao Ning: "Hero, Xingzhou is ahead of us. With so many people coming together, I'm afraid the Xingzhou officials will be alarmed and the situation will become tense. It's not good. How about you come with me, bad guy?"

Xingzhou goes to see Magistrate Zhang, and the rest will stay here for the time being?"

Zhao Ning said: "No need, the Magistrate Zhang you mentioned has already come out of the city to greet us."

Liu Wangxun was a little confused. Magistrate Zhang personally went out of the city to greet him?

Liu Wangxun's right hand was still in severe pain and he couldn't think calmly. He just hoped that Zhao Ning would follow him into the city as soon as possible so that he could be saved.

Not long after, we arrived at a place more than ten miles outside Xingzhou City and saw a crowd of people waiting in front of us.

Liu Wangxun took a closer look and saw that those people were all wearing official uniforms. Among them were the prefect Zhang Juxian, the general judge of Qin Wei, and the transshipment envoy Lu Shouyi.

There was even a Xingzhou garrison under the command of Zhang Jun.

Are all the core officials of Hebei West Road here?

Why are they here suddenly?

Zhao Ning arrived at the front on horseback. When the officials saw these people dressed like this, they didn't react for a while.

But Zhang Jun, the first dog-licking general, had already taken action. He immediately walked to the front and knelt down directly: "Your Majesty, Zhang Jun, my emperor is in peace!"

Everyone saw Zhang Jun kneeling, wouldn't it be bad if he didn't kneel?

So they all knelt down.

At the same time, I was scolding Zhang Jun for being such a licking dog. How could he kneel down when he saw His Majesty?

Lu Shouyi and others had naturally seen the holy face before, and immediately said: "I will see you, Your Majesty."

Only then did the other officials realize that the heroic-looking young man among the crowd was actually the emperor, and they immediately followed up and said: "Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

Liu Wangxun on the other side was immediately dumbfounded. He was even dumber than when he saw Jing Chao chop off Wang Rende's head.

Zhao Guanren turned out to be...

Yes! Zhao!

Liu Wangxun instantly felt like he was struck by thunder.

He never expected that the young man in front of him turned out to be from the Zhao Guan family!

Coaxing Zhao Ning to go to Xingzhou is the only effective way to escape.

But now it seems...

There is no way to escape. Not only is there no way out, but what we will face next...

Liu Wangxun was so desperate that he could no longer imagine it.

He quickly got off his horse and knelt in front of Zhao Ning: "I didn't know that it was His Majesty's holy chariot who came here. I deserve death!"

Everyone turned their attention to Liu Wangxun, and then they discovered that Liu Wangxun, a soldier who joined the army, actually came to Xingzhou with His Majesty the Emperor.

And looking at His Majesty’s outfit, he is paying a private visit incognito!

Zhao Ning glanced at Zhang Jun at the front. This guy was Zhang Jun, one of the four Zhongxing generals of the Southern Song Dynasty who was as famous as Yue Fei, Liu Guangshi, and Han Shizhong in history.

"Everyone is free of charge."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone stood up, but Liu Wangxun did not stand up.

Zhao Ning smiled and said: "Zhang Tongzhi, I finally see you."

As soon as Zhang Jun heard what Zhao Guanjia said, he immediately said happily: "I am lucky to be able to meet the holy face in my lifetime."

"You guarded Handan before and did a good job. I am very satisfied."

"We are all sharing your Majesty's worries, and I will not hesitate to die!"

Give a few candies to those who have soldiers in their hands first. Zhao Ning is quite sure about this.

Zhang Jun is a dog licker, and a scumbag like Zhao Ning really likes to have more dog lickers.

Zhao Ning looked at Zhang Juxian with lowered eyebrows and said, "Prefect Zhang."

Zhang Juxian's heart skipped a beat and he quickly stepped out of the queue and said, "I'm here."

"Do you know why I suddenly arrived in Xingzhou?"

"I am stupid and I don't know. Your Majesty is coming, but I am not able to welcome you from a distance. I deserve death!"

Zhao Ning's expression changed instantly, and he shouted loudly: "You really deserve to die! I can't wait to crush you to ashes now!"

Zhao Guan's family suddenly went berserk, frightening the officials present and feeling at a loss, especially Zhang Juxian.

Zhang Juxian said quickly: "Your Majesty, I wonder what I did wrong?"

"Ask your sergeant to join the army!"

Liu Wangxun put his head on the grass and buried it with his long sleeves, shivering and not daring to say a word or even take a breath.

Seeing this attitude, Zhang Juxian roughly guessed that maybe Zhao Guan's family knew about tax collection.

But he was not sure that it was about tax collection, so he decided to bite the bullet and refuse to admit it.

"Your Majesty, please make it clear!"

"Liu Shicao!"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty is here!"

"What did you say before? Is Sindh Government exempt from tax?"

Liu Wangxun was sweating profusely and said quickly: "Report...I'm reporting back to Your Majesty. It was Magistrate Zhang who said that Xinde Prefecture is not exempt from taxation. It was Magistrate Zhang who asked his ministers to go to Julu to handle taxes!"

"You are talking nonsense, Your Majesty, he is so bloody!"

"You still dare to quibble. If I hadn't seen with my own eyes how the officials and gentry of Julu extorted money from the people, I would still have no idea about the taxation of Xinde Prefecture!"

"Tell me! Someone came to Xinde Prefecture to complain before. Who beat him to death at the gate of the prefecture's Yamen?"

Liu Wangxun said quickly: "It was also done by Magistrate Zhang."

"You are talking nonsense! Liu Wangxun! I have no grievances against you, but you dare to slander me!"

At this time, Lu Shouyi, the transshipment envoy, came out and said: "Your Majesty has just arrived in Xingzhou after a long journey. It's better to go back to the palace to rest. After settling down for a while, it won't be too late to interrogate him. Besides, the officials have to greet your Majesty. What's the matter?

, we can talk about it after we return to the city."

Zhang Mu, the prison chief, also came out to smooth things over. He said: "Your Majesty, all the officials on Hebei West Road are here. If you have anything to do, you can go back and talk about it. The discussion at this time may not have a good impact..."
