"Tie them all up and give me County Magistrate's Residence. I want to see what kind of talent this Qi County county magistrate is."

After all the men in black were beheaded, only the officers and soldiers wearing official clothes remained.

Jiang Yunsheng ordered his men, preparing to take these people to County Magistrate's Residence to investigate the crime.

A large group of people walked in the direction of County Magistrate's Residence.

Jiang Nuan naturally would not miss this good show and followed it secretly.

After walking for a while, County Magistrate's Residence arrived.

At this time, the concierge had already begun to doze off. When Leng Buding saw a large group of people, he was so frightened that he suddenly woke up.

"Who are you? This is County Magistrate's Residence, and you are not allowed to be presumptuous!"

He said in a stern tone.

Be good! How come they have such a large group of people! If they are here to cause trouble, how can he cope with it alone? Oh my God! Someone come and save him!

How about he report to an official first?

No, no, why do the people they have look so familiar? They seem to be the officers and soldiers in their Ran County Yamen!

Looking at the dying officers and soldiers in Shadow Guards's hands, the concierge's cold sweat flowed downwards. What should I do? It seems that I have encountered a tough problem today!

"Hurry up and tell your county magistrate to come over and see me!"

Jiang Yunsheng took out the royal token to the concierge and shouted sharply.

As soon as the concierge heard this, he immediately rolled into County Magistrate's Residence.

After a while, a sleepy man came out rubbing his eyes.

"Well... what happened? Why were the officers and soldiers arrested? What kind of person did this?"

He said before his mind came to his senses.

[Guagua, what's going on with this county magistrate? Why doesn't he look like Jing Kingdom?]

Seeing his performance, Jiang Nuan felt something was wrong, so he asked Guagua.

[Host, you are right, he is indeed not from the Jing Kingdom, but Ran County is controlled by the Jing Kingdom. He is just a puppet under Jing Kingdom people.]

Guagua explained.

[Huh? Is that so? Tell me in detail.]

Jiang Nuan continued to ask.

[His name is Zhong Feiwen, he was a Jinshi during the late emperor's period, and was sent here after the previous county magistrate Ran County died unexpectedly.

As a result, after arriving here, he was smart and immediately discovered something was wrong, but unfortunately, by this time, the people from the Jing Kingdom had already developed their claws on him.

Either surrender to the Jing Kingdom and become a Great Xia Traitor, or just be a puppet to deal with the court.

Not wanting to be Great Xia Traitor, he chose the second path. From then on, he became a mascot of Ran County, and all affairs were not under his control.

The only thing that can be said to be relatively lucky is that the Jing Kingdom people felt that it would be too arrogant to kill another county magistrate. In addition, he was relatively honest, so there was no fear of his life. They even gave him food and clothing, in case he accidentally died.

But honesty is just his disguise, he has done a lot of things behind the scenes!

He has been at Ran County for twenty years now, and the people at the Jing Kingdom have become less defensive about him, which is enough for him to do something.

In order not to hurt the people of Ran County, he has never dared to pass on the news. He was afraid of alerting others, so he could only slowly cultivate his own team. Now the scale is not small, and he has the ability to compete with the people of the Jing Kingdom.]

Guagua continued.

[Wow, then he is quite powerful. He can cultivate his own team under such circumstances. I think even if Imperial Father and I didn't come to Ran County, he would have been able to successfully kill all those undercover agents!]

In Jiang Nuan's opinion, the fact that he was able to do this under such a devastating start is already very good.

[That's for sure, this twenty-year plan is no joke, but if he had a choice, maybe it would be more beneficial to him if you Imperial Father didn't come.

According to the original historical trajectory, his plan should be implemented one month later, and then all the undercover agents of the Jing Kingdom would be caught.

When the news spreads, not only will he have no fault, he will even be able to get some credit.

But he seems to be unlucky. He met you Imperial Father when he was about to succeed. Now you Imperial Father have labeled him as Jing Kingdom and are ready to start liquidation.

At this time, even if he jumps out and says that his heart has always been with Great Xia and he has put in a lot of efforts for it, you Imperial Father probably won't believe it and will only think that it is his excuse.]

The butterfly effect brought by his host can be good or bad, but just from Zhong Feiwen's point of view, he is really unlucky.

When he was about to succeed, others simply finished what he had planned for a long time in one go, and even tried to blame him. He wanted to prove that it was still a bit difficult for him, and speaking out about it would make people collapse.

Zhong Feiwen, who could hear the voice of his heart, felt that his heart was already freezing at this moment.

How can he prove his innocence?

Jiang Yunsheng, who was originally planning to come to investigate and accuse, was silent for a moment.

Based on his understanding of himself, it is true that even if Zhong Feiwen told the truth, he would most likely not believe it.

Fortunately, now that he has Nuan Nuan's inner voice, he will not have wronged a good person.

"Are you Ran County Magistrate Zhong Feiwen? I think you need to explain to me. I just inspected you Ran County today, and ended up being assassinated by a group of men in black at night.

After a while, your officers and soldiers came over, but they turned a blind eye to the men in black who were obviously problematic. Instead, they pointed the finger at me and wanted to arrest me. Tell me what you should do?"

Although he already knew that he had difficulties, Jiang Yunsheng still asked in order to cover up his inner feelings.

"Your Majesty, I have finally waited for you. When I first arrived at Ran County, I was controlled by the people of the Jing Kingdom. This control lasted twenty years.

I can't touch everything about Ran County. I can only leave County Magistrate's Residence when the county magistrate is required to intervene. Even the number of times I go out in a year can be counted on one's fingers."

Zhong Feiwen started to speak in what looked like a complaint, but was actually an explanation.

He did not do those bad things, and he will not take the blame.

He is just a mascot, but he can't command those undercover agents.

"Although I have always been under the control of the Jing Kingdom, I have been working hard and finally figured out who Jing Kingdom's people are in Ran County. Now the list is placed in the secret room under Chen's bed!"

"Jiang Yi, go get the list he mentioned."

Jiang Yunsheng immediately gave the order.

Soon Jiang Yi came over with a small notebook.
