"Dong...Dongdong!"

The dull and loud sound of smashing the door made the tables and chairs in the house tremble. Lu Botao poked his head out of the beauty's arms with great anger and shouted to the outside of the door: "What's the matter!"

"Report to the city lord, Xia Xun asked for a visit!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Botao couldn't help but frown and kept complaining: "Is this Xia Xunzhang playing with me? He won't come to invite him to the banquet, and he won't stay in the mansion prepared for him. Now that I'm so late, why are I disturbing me?"

He said no, but Lord Lu's body was very honest, but after a while, he had sat up from the warm quilt and put on his clothes and pants quickly.

After a while, Lord Lu opened the door with dissatisfaction on his face and asked the soldier who came to inform him: "Did Xia Xujian say what happened?"

The soldier was frightened and said repeatedly: "I heard from the people from the Judgment Department that Xia Xunzhang was assassinated by thieves in the inn tonight!"

Lu Botao's eyes suddenly widened, and the annoyance in his heart was thrown aside, and he said anxiously: "Why didn't you say it earlier! Where is Xia Xunchao now? Hurry up! Take my official to see him!"

It was not until this time that Lu Botao regretted it, and he crawled out of the bed slower.

A great patrolman was assassinated on the territory of Jinling City. If this matter reached the emperor's ears, his position as the city lord would not be preserved!

It is true that Jinling City belongs to Quanzhou, and Xia Sheng is a Jiangzhou patrol. Logically speaking, Xia Sheng has no absolute jurisdiction over Lu Botao, but after all, he was an inspector personally appointed by the emperor. Not to mention Lu Botao, even the magistrate of Quanzhou would not dare to be arrogant in front of Xia Sheng!

Now Xia Sheng was assassinated on the first day of his arrival in Jinling City. Fortunately, the person was not seriously injured. Otherwise, Lu Botao would have to even get his head in, let alone the position of the city lord.

After knowing the seriousness of the matter, Lu Botao's forehead immediately felt a hot sweat. He was blown by the cold wind in the autumn night, causing him to tremble all over his body.

I don't know if it's cold or scared.

Finally, after half a stick of incense, Lu Botao met Xia Sheng who was leisurely drinking tea in the city lord's mansion, and Kang Wuwei who was as deep as water on the side.

Lu Botao took small steps and trotted to Xia Sheng, saying repeatedly: "The official has met the patrol envoy."

Xia Sheng nodded, gently put down the teacup in his hand, and smiled and said, "It's not bad, at least I haven't finished this cup of tea."

Upon hearing this, Lu Botao's heart suddenly felt cold, and he smiled on his face, and said in a low voice: "The inspector does not know that the lord will come to visit late at night. If you are not in a hurry, I hope you will atone for your sins!"

"Well..." Xia Sheng looked at the fear and fear on City Lord Lu's face, and said slowly: "I believe the city Lord has already known the matter. I wonder what you are going to do next?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Botao immediately stood up straight and spoke with a solemn look on his face: "The official did not expect that there would be such a rampant thief in my Jinling City who dared to do sneaky things to the Lord! Please rest assured, I will definitely give you an explanation within three days!"

At this time, Lu Botao suddenly realized that the rumored inspector was so young, and he couldn't help but feel some contempt in his heart.

What's more, Lu Botao is not stupid. Before Xia Xunzhang left the territory of Quanzhou, someone dared to attack him, which shows that the other party is definitely not small. For Lu Botao, offending an unknown powerful force for an unnamed boy who temporarily led the inspection and was responsible for offending an unknown powerful force.

After being able to sit in the position of the Lord of Jinling City for so many years, Lu Botao has long learned to speak to others and speak to others when he sees ghosts, but in an instant, he has already thought of a countermeasure.

In his opinion, even if such a little guy gets the title of the emperor and has a prosperous career, he is still a little baby with no hair. How could he compare with the old bird he has been soaked in the **** for decades?

Wouldn't it be easy to fool such a little Lord Xia?

Therefore, the strategy adopted by Lu Botao is the method of dragging the word.

He heard that Xia Xunzhang was in a hurry to Jiangzhou, and he probably wouldn't stay in his Jinling City for too long. Even if he didn't find anything after three days, could Xia Xunzhang stay with him and not leave?

As long as Xia inspected and left, Lu Botao would have a lot of things to do.

It would be okay if the assassin had no identity and background, but if the other party was not someone he could move, he might as well find a scapegoat, write a memorial, and apologize to the emperor for his crimes.

As for whether this patrolman will encounter other accidents in the future, it is nothing to do with him!

Lu Botao thought very well, but unfortunately, Xia Sheng didn't even take his tricks.

Not to mention that Xia Sheng was not a good person, just talking about Kang Wuwei on the side, that was also a resourceful old fox. He was fooled by his seemingly sincere but perfunctory attitude.

So the next moment, Xia Sheng directly grabbed the teacup at his hand and smashed it in front of Lu Botao's feet.

"Bang!"

The ceramic fragments splashed four times, and the remaining tea stains left ugly brown spots on Lu Botao's official robe, which made Lu Botao's face change drastically.

"Three days? Do you think I have a lot of time? I'll give you one night. After dawn, if you haven't captured the assassin, I'll dismiss you from your post and investigate!"

Lu Botao was completely confused. The development of this situation was different from what he predicted!

"Stop your anger..." Lu Botao quickly knelt on one knee and said repeatedly: "Stop your anger! ** time is too hasty, please give me some more grace!"

However, this time, the one who answered him was no longer Xia Sheng, but Kang Wuwei on the side.

"Master Lord, if I were you, don't waste time here. Now there are only two hours left before dawn. Maybe you don't know if you are not in the capital. Our Lord Xia has always been the one who is the only one. If you can't catch the murderer within two hours, the position of this city lord may end here..."

After a pause, Kang Wuwei kindly reminded Lu Botao: "By the way, the murderer is an old man in his seventies or eighties, and a girl who looks like a ** year old. The two seem to be grandfathers and grandchildren. The people from the Judgment Office have already begun to investigate, so you can go quickly."

Lu Botao's face turned red, he looked up at Xia Sheng, and said in a sad voice: "Sir!"

However, Xia Sheng turned a deaf ear to Lu Botao's wail, but slowly leaned his body on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and looked like he was asleep...
