Magistrate Yang looked down at a book of poems as if he didn't see the person standing in front of him. His contemptuous attitude made Gao Gao very unhappy.
But Gao Gao didn't have the courage to get angry at this time. He was all thinking about why his superior was unhappy. No matter how much he thought about it, he still couldn't figure it out.
"Magistrate Yang, I, Gao Wenyao, pay my respects to you." After waiting for half an hour, Gao Wenyao couldn't help but salute again.
Magistrate Yang flipped through a page of the book, cast a cold sidelong glance at Librarian Gao, and asked slowly, "Do you know why I asked you to come here?"
"Yes, I don't know."
"You don't know?" Magistrate Yang threw the book of poems in his hand on the table. The pen holder fell on the table with a bang.
"Please don't be angry!" Gao Wenyao hurriedly saluted.
Magistrate Yang was a newly promoted official after Great Zhou annexed Great Yan. He was originally an official of Great Zhou, while Grand Historian Gao was an old man from the old capital. Both of them were not familiar with each other, and as Magistrate Yang had always been an inconspicuous person, he had always been gentle and courteous when dealing with people. In front of Librarian Gao, he had never lost his temper like this before.
Gao Wenyao clenched his fists and his muscles twitched.
Magistrate Yang's face was gloomy and his eyes were full of resentment. He stood up angrily and pointed his trembling finger at Gao Wenyao. After a long time, he suppressed the reprimand that was about to come out of his mouth and said in a low voice, "Gao Wenyao, do you think I don't know what you're doing secretly?"
Gao Wenyao shivered and lowered his head even more.
Magistrate Yang walked around the table and slowly walked to Gao Wenyao.
From Gao Wenyao's angle, he could only see the boots on Magistrate Yang's feet.
"I don't care who you contact in private, who you ask for, and who you do things for. I don't want to get involved. But you have to have a sense of propriety when you do things. You have to know who you are working for and to what extent!
"I won't report it to the imperial court and I don't want to help anyone. But don't push your luck. What you're doing now has seriously affected the public order under my jurisdiction. "
Dianshi Gao finally understood.
It seemed that Magistrate Yang knew that he was secretly loyal to Lord Zhennan.
He was a Dayan to begin with, and used to be an official of the Yan dynasty. While the County King of Yan was now the King of Zhennan, he still had the blood of the royal family running through his veins. Warden Gao had been ordered by the King of Zhennan to capture Madam Zheng.
He just didn't expect that something like that would happen to his son. Now, he was lying at home half-dead, crying all day long.
He also felt that regardless of whether it was Qian Gui kicking and injuring his beloved son, causing him to go and capture him and inciting public anger, or killing two death row prisoners in prison and causing the wealthy families to come and put pressure on Magistrate Yang, it was all premeditated.
That old woman had been locked up for quite some time and had not contacted the outside world. However, Dianshi Gao could not convince himself that it was just a coincidence.
Now that he heard Magistrate Yang's words, Librarian Gao's mind became clear.
It turned out that Magistrate Yang also felt that these things had something to do with him imprisoning Madam Zheng? What was Madam Zheng's background? Where did she get such power from?!
However, how could Librarian Gao dare to admit it even though he thought so?
In front of Magistrate Yang, an official of Da Zhou, if he admitted that he had followed the orders of the Yuchi Yan, wouldn't it be the same as participating in some unspeakable activities? Would he still want his head in the future?!
"Sir, did you misunderstand something? I work for the imperial court wholeheartedly and dare not have any selfish motives. Why would I work for others? "
Magistrate Yang sneered, "A straightforward person doesn't resort to insinuations. Do you want me to make everything clear?"
Librarian Gao's heart thumped.
Magistrate Yang's tone turned gentle, "Fine, you should know what I mean. There's no need to say more. Just deal with the aftermath as soon as possible and don't affect me. I believe that with Librarian Gao's ability, it will be a piece of cake for you to deal with the current situation. "
Sweat appeared on Librarian Gao's forehead. He nodded and said, "Yes, I will do my best to deal with it as soon as possible!"
Magistrate Yang nodded and waved his hand, indicating that Librarian Gao could leave. He then returned to his previous position to look at the poetry collection.
Librarian Gao bowed his head and retreated. Only when he left the study did he let out a sigh of relief. He was led out of the Yang Estate by a servant.
When he exited the corner gate, a gust of cold wind blew in his face. Only then did Dianshi Gao realize that his entire body was covered in sweat. The sweat on his forehead was dried by the cold wind, causing him to shiver from the cold. He hurriedly withdrew his sleeves and shrunk his neck as he quickly left.
However, he had only taken five or six steps when he heard the sound of horse hooves and the rolling of wheels behind him.
Librarian Gao curiously looked back and saw two carriages stop in front of the Yang Estate.
These two carriages were ordinary oil wall carriages. The carriages looked neither new nor old, and there was nothing special about them.
However, the horses pulling the carriages were actually Ferghana horses with shiny fur!
What surprised him even more was the eight tall and strong men following beside the carriages.
The eight men were all strong and sturdy, and their movements were light and graceful. Librarian Gao had also practiced martial arts before. With one look, he could tell that these people were experts in both internal and external martial arts. Even if there were ten of him, he would not be able to win against one of them.
These bodyguards were even more valuable than Ferghana horses!
What kind of family would be able to afford such bodyguards?
Librarian Gao stood in the corner and curiously craned his neck.
He saw a bodyguard knock on the door, and the doorman quickly entered the estate.
Not long after, he saw Magistrate Yang and a few female figures flash past the corner gate.
Following that, the main gate of the Yang Estate actually opened!
One had to know that the main gate would not be opened under normal circumstances!
Librarian Gao was even more curious. He hid himself in the corner and stared at the carriage intently.
He saw the warm curtains of the carriage being lifted by a white hand, and a woman wearing a green cloak peeked out from inside.
That woman was sixteen years old, and her hair was combed into two rings. She wore a green dress and was dressed like a maid. Her appearance was indescribably beautiful, and she stood there charmingly, like a lotus blooming in summer. Even Librarian Gao, who had seen many beauties, could not help but suck in a breath of cold air when he saw that beautiful maid.
That pretty maid lifted the warm curtains and leaned forward to support him.
Following that, he saw a tall young master dressed in a white robe and a sable fur cloak get out of the carriage.
When he saw the young master's appearance, Librarian Gao even forgot to breathe!
He had only thought that pretty maid was a peerless beauty, but who would have thought that this young master's appearance was a hundred times better than that maid's!
Taking a closer look at the young master's walking posture and figure …
How was this a young master? It was clearly a tall and handsome woman dressed in men's clothing!
Librarian Gao had never seen such a beauty before, and he could not help but be stunned.
Not only Librarian Gao, but even Magistrate Yang, who led his family to the door to welcome them, was also stunned at this time.
The woman walked up to Magistrate Yang and saluted him in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing. She was graceful and elegant. She didn't look feminine in men's clothes, but she didn't look manly or vulgar at all. Her voice sounded noble and self-restrained, and it was very appropriate to reveal a bit of friendliness.
"Uncle, nice to meet you."
Magistrate Yang finally came back to his senses, coughed, and returned to his normal appearance. He stretched out his hand to support her: "Miss Qiu, please don't be so polite."
"Uncle is too polite, just call me Feishan." Qiu Feishan turned to look at the magistrate's wife behind Magistrate Yang. "Aunt, nice to meet you."
The magistrate's wife was still a little confused, and there was some suspicion and inquiry on her plump round face. She politely squeezed out a smile and said: "Don't be so polite. It's cold outside, let's talk inside the mansion. "
"Exactly." Magistrate Yang nodded.
Magistrate Yang and the magistrate's wife led Qiu Feishan into the mansion first.
The doorman was busy removing the threshold, and the servants and guards drove the carriage into the Yang mansion from the front door, and then the gate was closed with a bang, completely blocking Librarian Gao's sight.
