Jingzhao Mansion, back yamen.
The magistrate was panicking as he paced around the room anxiously.
From time to time, he would rub his hands and mutter.
"I'm in trouble, I'm in trouble. I, I really…deserve to die!”
"This, what should we do? It's over, it's over, it's completely over this time!”
"Old Master, what exactly happened to make you so panicked?”
At this moment, a woman walked over and asked.
"Get lost, you know nothing!"
"I've caused a huge disaster today!”
The magistrate cursed with a long face.
When the woman heard this, she frowned."Master, what kind of disaster can make you so afraid? Could it be that you provoked some high-ranking official?”
"Sigh!"
"This is much more serious than offending a high-ranking official!”
"Do you know who the fortune-teller we captured today is?”The governor asked.
When the woman heard this, she was slightly startled.
"He's just a swindler and a charlatan, isn't he?" Could it be that he has another identity?"
"Sigh, he doesn't have any other identities, but, but his relationship with the current Emperor, Duke Qi, Duke Cai, and Duke Lu is all extraordinary!”The governor said.
"What? What was that? There's actually such a thing?"
The woman who was originally extremely calm.
After hearing this, he was also shocked.
"Then, then, then…Sir, could it be that His Majesty blamed you?”
"Blame? Hmph, if it was just blame, would I be so worried? You don't know that His Majesty and the Duke of Qi personally came to settle the score with me today!”The governor said in fear.
Hearing this.
The woman was dumbfounded.
Never in her wildest dreams would she have thought that a fortune-teller would know Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuji.
Not only that, but they had a deep friendship.
Now, the governor of the capital city had captured the emperor's friend.
Wouldn't this ruin his future?
Instantly, the woman's eyes turned red and tears fell.
"Old, old master, this, this, what should we do? If His Majesty blames you, then, then wouldn't your official hat be…Oh right, Old Master, did you release that fortune-teller?”the woman said.
"Release?"
"If I could, would I be so anxious?”
"It's because Duke Zheng said that this case must be tried impartially and the truth must be found out in order to give Mr. Han justice. Otherwise…even if he was released, it would be illegal!”The magistrate said with a sobbing tone.
The woman was completely dumbfounded.
He fell straight into the chair, his eyes staring blankly.
However, at this moment, a bailiff walked in from outside the door.
"Sir, Duke Qi is here!"
"What?"
When he heard this, the capital governor's body trembled.
He almost fell to the ground.
His face was extremely pale in fear, and his entire body trembled non-stop.
"It's over, it's over. Duke Qi came to see me personally. This, this is most likely to settle scores with me. Madam, this, this, what should I do?”The magistrate said.
However, just as he finished speaking.
The woman beside him was still sitting there with her eyes fixed.
She probably didn't even listen to what he said just now.
Seeing this.
The magistrate looked extremely anxious.
She was even more anxious in the room.
He didn't know whether to go or not.
At this moment, if there was a crack in the ground, he would have crawled into it…
"What? The magistrate is so powerful. I came to see you, but did I have to personally find the back yamen?”
At this moment.
A low voice was heard.
Instantly, the capital governor trembled in fear.
He quickly looked outside.
It would have been better if he didn't look, but the person who came was Zhangsun Wuji.
She was walking straight towards him with her hands behind her back.
Seeing this, the capital governor felt like crying.
However, he still gritted his teeth and walked out, kneeling on the ground.
"Duke of Qi, spare me! Duke of Qi, spare me!”
"This lowly official, this lowly official truly does not know the identity of that Mr. Han. Otherwise, even if this lowly official were beaten to death, this lowly official would never dare to bring Mr. Han here!”
"Duke Qi, please put in a good word for me in front of His Majesty…"
He looked at the magistrate kneeling on the ground, crying and begging for mercy.
Zhangsun Wuji's expression was also extremely gloomy.
"Mr. Han is a peerless talent of the Great Tang and a favorite of His Majesty!”
"How dare you bring him here without asking for the reason? You even want to force him to confess in front of His Majesty?”
"Gou Daren, oh Gou Daren!"
"Did you eat the heart of a bear or the guts of a leopard?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the magistrate's expression changed, and he felt his hands and feet become extremely cold.
"This, this…This humble official, this humble official is muddle-headed. Duke Qi, save me!”
"Humph!"
"This time, no one can save you. The only one who can save you is Mr. Han!”
"Get up. I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself. Whether you can grasp it or not depends on yourself!”
Then, Zhangsun Wuji's tone changed and became much gentler.
Hearing this, the magistrate seemed to have seen the light of dawn and quickly got up from the ground.
"Immediately send someone out to secretly follow the eldest daughter of the Sun family and that lover!”
"If your luck is good, you might be able to reap some rewards tonight.”
"If not…"
Zhangsun Wuji did not finish his sentence.
He turned around and walked out.
Looking at Zhangsun Wuji's back, the magistrate hesitated for a long time before he came back to his senses.
"What? Yes, yes, yes, thank you for your guidance, Duke Qi!”
Zhangsun Wuji, who had already walked to the door, smiled lightly.
"No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Mr. Han!”
"What? Yes, yes, yes…"
It was not until Zhangsun Wuji walked out of the yamen for a long time.
The magistrate was still bent over and didn't stand up for a long time.
