"This is the Black Tiger Army? Is Young Master here?"
Seeing this, Xiao He was shocked.
Naturally, he had already received the news that the Thirteenth Young Master was coming here.
However, he did not expect it to be at this critical juncture.
Xiao He glanced at Xia Houying and sighed in his heart.
He knew that this Xia Houying was likely going to suffer.
If the Thirteenth Young Master were to find out about this, Xia Houying might be severely punished.
With Xiao He's status, he couldn't be biased, so he released Xia Houying at this moment.
"Quickly go and call the county magistrate, county deputy, and county captain over. Tell them that the Thirteenth Young Master is here.”
Xiao He quickly ordered his subordinates to report to the county government.
As for now, they were quietly waiting for the arrival of the Thirteenth Young Master and the others.
In a short while, the mighty team had already arrived in front of Xiao He.
To be honest, Xiao He's legs were trembling when he saw the murderous aura of the Black Tiger Army.
"Chief Official Xiao He greets Thirteenth Young Master!”
Xiao He quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
As for the minor officials beside him, they all knelt down.
"Stand up. Why are you doing this?”
A dignified voice rang out.
Xiao He and the others quickly thanked him and stood up.
Only now did Xiao He dare to look up.
A man with an imposing appearance and extraordinary demeanor slowly walked out of the carriage.
"Is…is this the Thirteenth Young Master?”
Looking at Zhao Tian's demeanor that was like a banished immortal, Xiao He was convinced in his heart.
For a moment, Xiao He didn't know what to say.
Zhao Tian frowned as he thought to himself.
In history, Xiao He was very capable and smart. Why did he look a little stunned now?
Seeing Zhao Tian frown, Zhang Han thought that Zhao Tian was dissatisfied with Xiao He's performance and immediately berated him.
"Young Master is asking you a question, why aren't you answering?”
Zhang Han's voice rumbled like thunder, scaring Xiao He so much that his body trembled.
Only then did he come back to his senses and quickly told Liu Bang everything he had heard.
"Oh?"
? Zhao Tian smiled playfully and turned to look at Xia Houying.
"In this case, Xia Houying will be severely punished.”
? Xia Houying was already trembling when he sensed Zhao Tian's aura.
But now, it was related to his life and safety.
Xia Houying didn't know where he got his courage from, but he immediately started crying.
"Young Master, you are wise. I was wronged. Xiao He colluded with Liu Bang to harm me.”
If Xia Houying wasn't still being held, he would probably have to crawl to Zhao Tian.
Zhao Tian waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to let go.
"Wronged? Do you know the punishment for lying in front of me?”
Zhao Tian revealed a dignified expression, but he couldn't help but think in his heart.
Wronged?
This Young Master naturally knows that you've been wronged.
However, if I didn't set up this trap, you guys wouldn't be fools. How could I casually harvest your loyalty?
Xia Houying ran up to Zhao Tian and kowtowed three times.
"If this lowly one deceives Young Master, this lowly one is willing to be dismembered by five horses.”
"I admit that I raised that horse to death, but…I never said those words. I'm telling the truth!”
Zhao Tian nodded slightly.
"Alright, I'll give you a chance!”
"Zhang Han, send the Shadow Secret Guards to investigate this matter. I want to know the truth as soon as possible. Also, capture Fan Kuai and Liu Bang.”
Zhao Tian's words were extremely dignified.
"Yes!"
Zhang Han immediately left.
He wasn't worried about this at all.
After all, it was just a formality.
Wasn't this matter arranged by them from the beginning?
As for Xia Houying, he was extremely grateful at this moment.
He had never thought that the Thirteenth Young Master would be so reasonable and fair!
He even had the urge to die for his friend.
Seeing Xia Houying's gratitude, Zhao Tian was very satisfied.
This was what he wanted.
Zhao Tian immediately turned around and returned to the carriage.
This group of people headed towards Pei County's government office in a grandiose manner.
However…
"Strange?"
Xiao He was a little puzzled.
He had already sent someone to inform the county magistrate and the others.
Logically speaking, the county magistrate and the others should have come to welcome the Thirteenth Young Master.
But now, they had already arrived outside the county office, but the county magistrate and the others were still not there.
An ominous feeling rose in Xiao He's heart.
"Where are the county magistrate and the others? Why didn't the Thirteenth Young Master come to welcome him?”
Zhang Han took a step forward with an unhappy expression.
His words were filled with the power of a grandmaster.
Immediately, the officials in the county government ran out in fear.
One of the men, who looked to be in his forties or fifties, stumbled over to Zhang Han and fell to his knees.
"Your…Your Excellency, I'm the chief clerk of the county government. The county magistrate…they were drunk with the chief of the Si River Pavilion earlier, and now…they're drunk until they're unconscious, so…so they couldn't welcome Young Master in time. I…I hope you can forgive us!”
