Outside the prefect's mansion, a middle-aged man in his early 40s, with a common appearance and a dark complexion, was pacing back and forth.

This man is Fei Qing, the prefect of Yueyi county.

His eyes are a little small, not big, giving people the feeling of squinting in general.

At the moment, Fei Qing's face was full of worry. When the southern barbarians made trouble, he saw that he could not resist it, so he ordered the people to flee and not stay in the city. In addition, Fei Qing also fled qiongdu county and hid in the countryside.

When Meng mastiff took the army north to Chengdu, he didn't come out. When Meng mastiff returned to qiongdu county with his army, Fei Qing didn't come out. He was hiding all the time.

When the news of Zhang Xiu's extermination of the southern barbarians came back, Fei Qing came out. But when he arrived in qiongdu County, Zhang Xiu's army had been stationed, and Zhang Xiu was sitting in the prefecture.

The news worried Fei Qing.

After all, he did not organize the soldiers to resist the southern barbarians, but fled directly.

Fei Qing stood at the gate of the yamen, pacing back and forth. From time to time, he looked up at the gate of the prefect's mansion, and wanted to know if anyone came out to inform him.

After waiting for a long time, no one came, which worried Fei Qing.

Is the king of Qin going to deal with him?

"Step on it! Step on

All of a sudden, a sound of footsteps came from the gate. When Fei Qing heard the sound of footsteps, he immediately picked up his spirits, and then stood up straight with his head held high.

A soldier came out, looked at Fei Qing and said, "Your Highness is busy with government affairs now. Now wait for your highness

"Yes, yes!"

Fei Qing quickly thanks.

He walked two steps forward, came to the soldier, took out a brocade bag from his sleeve, handed it to the soldier's hand, and said: "it's a small idea, it's not a respect. Please accept it."

"No!"

The soldier shook his head.

They are the bodyguards around Zhang Xiu, and their treatment is excellent. He got Wang Yue's arrangement to inform Fei Qing. He is not willing to accept this money. If he is held responsible, he will not be able to get away with it.

Fei Qing was embarrassed.

Give people money, the other side does not accept.

It's embarrassing.

But the soldier didn't pay attention to Fei Qing and turned to leave.

After Fei Qing saw this, he didn't worry too much. At least Zhang Xiu arranged for a reply. With the passage of time, two quarters of an hour soon disappeared. By this time, Fei Qing was worried. After all, two quarters of an hour had passed.

That's enough to handle a lot of things.

Feiqing went to ask the porter, but the porter did not know. He didn't get any news, so that he was very nervous, especially the more it came to the end, the more nervous he was.

After all, Fei Qing doesn't know what Zhang Xiu will do with him.

While feiqing is waiting, Zhang Xiu receives the latest news about feiqing sent back by the royal guards. According to the information from the royal guards' visit, Fei Qing, the governor of Yueyi County, has been in Yueyi County for nearly seven years, which was arranged by Liu Yan earlier.

During his first year in office, Fei Qing had a lot of heart, intending to reorganize Yueyi county.

However, in the first year of governance, he encountered several setbacks, and even more, he was robbed by the southern barbarians, which destroyed all of Fei Qing's arrangements. In particular, Yueyi County itself is barren and difficult to govern.

Later, Fei Qing ruled by inaction, almost handing over the government affairs of Yueyi county to the assistant officials below.

If Fei Qing is incompetent, it is not.

When Fei Qing first took office, he was enthusiastic and willing to govern the local area. He had certain ability.

It's just that he's a little lazy.

If Fei Qing is corrupt, perverts the law and exploits the common people, Zhang Xiu will directly deal with Fei Qing. However, Fei Qing never bullied the common people, demanded bribes or bought or sold officials during his administration of Yueyi county.

Generally speaking, he is an honest and upright official.

But he just didn't do it.

Fei Qing's root lies in his laziness and self abandonment. He thinks Yueyi county is poor and unwilling to think about it. In the end, the whole Yueyi County passed for several years, which was not good or bad, just so common.

Then Meng mastiff, a southern barbarian, led the soldiers to kill him. Fei Qing first ordered the people to evacuate, and then he also fled.

It's only now.

Zhang Xiu did not get angry after reading all Fei Qing's materials. Although people like Fei Qing are lazy and have not done anything, they still have a good nature and can be saved.

Wang Yue said: "Your Highness, Fei Qing is still outside the mansion. Can you see him?"

Zhang Xiu's eyes narrowed and asked, "how do people comment on Fei Qing's style?"

Wang Yue said: "it's neither good nor bad, but it's medium. However, some businessmen have a good impression on Fei Qing. Compared with Fei Qing, during his term of office, he did not arbitrarily plunder people's fat and cream, and he did not arbitrarily levy taxes, so there was little pressure on businessmen. "

Zhang Xiu nodded and nodded, and she already had a worry in her heart.Even though Fei Qing was lazy before, because he had been in Yueyi County for so many years, his understanding of Yueyi county is incomparable. So under this premise, Zhang Xiu is willing to save some.

It depends on Fei Qing, how to prepare.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiu repeatedly said, "let's hang him for another hour."

"Here it is

Wang Yue nodded and answered.

After Wang Yue left, Zhang Xiu continued to read the news about Fei Qing. Compared with Zhang Xiu, Fei Qing at the gate of the prefect's residence is eager and nervous.

It's cool in September.

But on his back, there was already a cold sweat coming out and wet his clothes.

Feiqing wants to come forward and ask the porter to report again, but he thinks that Zhang Xiu has an arrangement before, and he doesn't dare to disturb Zhang Xiu. He is just a small county governor, in front of Zhang Xiu, it is even the atmosphere dare not breathe.

Feiqing's waiting time is getting longer and longer.

A heart, but also sink down.

In his mind, he recalled his scenes in Yueyi county. If he worked hard and did his best in Yueyi County for several years, and even resisted the southern barbarians, Fei Qing would not have to worry.

Because I have a clear conscience!

But now it's different. He didn't resist the southern barbarians at all. He even muddled along these years and didn't accomplish anything. So he was very frightened and worried that he would be dealt with by Zhang Xiu.

Fei Qing's heart, and even had the idea to leave.

Don't be an official.

But in the end, I didn't have this temper. I was still honest at the door.

Time goes by little.

More than an hour passed quickly, Fei Qing and so on already had some backache. But he was still standing at the gate of the prefect's mansion, looking at the deep gate of the prefect's mansion, and his face became more and more desolate.

Fei Qing is very familiar with the prefecture.

But now it's all over the place.

"Step on it! Step on

All of a sudden, footsteps came from inside. A soldier came out, took a look at Fei Qing and said, "Fei Qing, follow me. The king of Qin wants to see you."

"Here it is

Fei Qing keeps up quickly.

He was happy in his heart. At the same time, his heart was beating, and his heart was more nervous. He followed the soldiers and asked carefully, "little brother, I don't know how the king of Qin is feeling now."

He didn't ask much, just asked Zhang Xiu's mood, in order to judge Zhang Xiu's attitude towards him.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

The soldier didn't give Fei Qing a word in front of him.

As Zhang Xiu's bodyguard, the soldiers have such confidence. Even Fei Qing's official position is much higher than theirs. But these pro guards, who work around Zhang Xiu, don't have to pay attention to Fei Qing.

Feiqing was dumb when he heard the soldiers' words. For a moment, he didn't know how to speak, but his heart became more nervous. After a while, I came to the study.

The soldier waved his hand and turned away.

Feiqing guldong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and straightened his clothes. Then he raised his hand and knocked on the door and said, "feiqing, the prefect of Yueyi County, please see your highness."
