Chapter 570: County Magistrate Guo is exiled

Is it an imperial edict for me?

Magistrate Guo was slightly startled.

"Guo Guangliang accepts the order!" Seeing no one responded, the eunuch shouted again.

A group of them had just gone to the county government office. The people in the county government office said that Magistrate Guo was here, so they turned around. Now no one responded. Could it be that the person in the county government office just now was lying to them?

"Wei...wei minister accepts the order!" Magistrate Guo quickly stepped forward and responded, then knelt down in front of the eunuch.

The master, as well as the nursing staff and government officials who came with him, after they realized what they were doing, they all knelt down along with Magistrate Guo.

The eunuch looked at Magistrate Guo coldly, and then slowly unfolded the imperial edict.

"By God's will, the emperor issued an edict that Guo Guangliang, the magistrate of Qingyuan County, did not understand the religious etiquette, deceived his superiors and deceived his subordinates, pretended to take credit from others, hurt the hearts of the meritorious soldiers, rebelled against the enemy when they came to the city, and avoided fighting. He did not care about the safety of the people, and was in vain for the divine grace. , His crime is unpardonable, and he is now dismissed from his position as magistrate of Qingyuan County and exiled to the suburbs of Lingnan. I admire this!"

Ah, how could this happen?

After listening to the eunuch's imperial edict, Magistrate Guo's face turned pale, full of disbelief and fear.

After just knowing that this imperial edict was for him, he was still a little excited and looking forward to it despite being in a daze. Because of Qiu Yongchao's incident, he had previously assumed the credit of Wu Fan and wrote a memorial to him. Now there is an imperial edict for him. He himself was probably rewarded by His Majesty for his meritorious service in killing the enemy.

However, the content of this imperial edict was completely different from what County Magistrate Guo thought. Not only did His Majesty not give him any reward, he also severely punished him. Not only did he strip him of his status as a county magistrate, but he even wanted to exile him to Lingnan. That was A place full of miasma. In the past, few people who were exiled there could come back alive. Once they were exiled there, they would be finished.

But, how could this happen? It was completely different from what he thought.

"Father, did you see it wrong?" County Magistrate Guo said to the eunuch with a look of fear.

"The Za family still knows how to read!" The eunuch said coldly: "Master Guo, please accept the order, then follow me to the county government office, hand over your official seal, and then you should be on your way."

"No, this is impossible!" Magistrate Guo obviously still couldn't accept this fact.

How could His Majesty know that he pretended to be a military leader? When Qiu Yongchao was raiding the vicinity of Qingyuan County, he closed the city gate tightly. How did your Majesty find out?

Magistrate Guo couldn't figure it out.

The person who followed the eunuch to announce the decree saw that Magistrate Guo was not cooperating, so he immediately came over and pressed down on Magistrate Guo like a prisoner.

"No, you can't do this! I am the magistrate of Qingyuan County, you can't do this to me!" Magistrate Guo yelled out of control.

"Be honest!" The knights who followed to announce the decree were elites in the palace. This was not the first time they had performed such a task, and it was not the first time they had encountered Magistrate Guo's reaction. Seeing Magistrate Guo struggling, he immediately You're welcome to give him a few strokes.

Magistrate Guo became much more honest, but the expressions of reluctance, fear, and doubt on his face were still clearly visible.

Suddenly, Magistrate Guo seemed to have remembered something and shouted in the direction of Wu Fan's mansion: "Wu Fan, it's you! You did all this, right? Come out!"

When Wu Fan saw that those people were here to announce the decree, he returned to the mansion without anyone paying attention. He came back secretly this time. In fact, he should be in Yanyang City now. If he was captured by the palace The eunuch saw him appearing here, and he couldn't explain what he said to the old emperor's ears.

Therefore, Wu Fan had been hiding for a long time, and now he had no intention of showing up no matter how much County Magistrate Guo called him.

Hearing Magistrate Guo's call, the eunuch glanced at the Wu Mansion with slight doubts. The name "Wu Fan" was familiar to him. He saved His Majesty with his great power in the main hall some time ago. Could it be that he returned to Qingyuan County? Already?

The eunuch remembered that when he accepted the mission and came to Qingyuan County to deliver the decree, the imperial edict to reward Wu Fan was also promulgated at that time. Therefore, it was impossible for Wu Fan to leave the imperial capital before them, and they had traveled eight hundred miles along the way. Expediting, it only took a few days to reach Qingyuan County. Could it be that Wu Fan was the same?

The father-in-law thought it was impossible, and thought that it was just the same name. After all, the name Wu Fan was too common, and it was normal for someone with the same name to have the same name.

Wu Fan, who was hiding in the mansion, saw his father-in-law leaving with Magistrate Guo and others, and then came out of the mansion with a sigh of relief.

"Sir, it's okay now, that guy named Guo is finished!" Sun Liang looked at Wu Fan and said excitedly.

"Yes, your Majesty is still wise and powerful. The man named Guo wanted to usurp your merits, but he could not escape your majesty's discernment. He was dismissed from the post of county magistrate and even exiled to Lingnan. He will never come back in this life." Tang San He also said happily.

Before, everyone knew that County Magistrate Guo was unwilling to report credit to Wu Fan. Everyone was angry for a long time. They did not expect that Magistrate Guo was even more shameless than they thought. It would be fine if he did not report credit to Wu Fan. He actually wanted to claim the credit, but fortunately His Majesty's wisdom prevented him from succeeding.

Seeing Magistrate Guo end up like this, everyone was naturally very excited.

Wu Fan thought for a while, and he remembered that the old emperor asked Qiu Yongchao when he met him before. Wu Fan didn't think much about it at that time. At that time, he didn't know about County Magistrate Guo pretending to claim credit, but he never wanted the old emperor to do anything. Acting so resolutely, Magistrate Guo was punished as soon as he said it would be done.

"Okay, now that everything is ready and the matter is settled, I'll leave. Remember, if anyone asks, you just say I haven't been back, understand?" Wu Fan said to Sun Liang and Tang San.

"Yes, sir." Although Sun Liang and Tang San didn't know why Wu Fan wanted to do this, since Wu Fan told them to, they just did it.

Wu Fan nodded and asked the guys to drive the carriage out of the city. The eunuch should still be in the county government office at this time. Wu Fan didn't dare to stay here for long, lest he be exposed.

When Wu Fan was pressing the goods out of the city, Qingyuan County was in a state of gloom and chaos. County Magistrate Guo was dismissed and exiled. As the master of the dog-headed military advisor, he couldn't escape and was exiled together. In addition to them, there were also several confidants of County Magistrate Guo, so the scene in the county government office at this time was very miserable.

When Wu Fan arrived at the place outside the city where he was teleported, the eunuch who came to announce the decree could not help but be curious and went back to Wu Fan's mansion to ask about what County Magistrate Guo had just called.

Sun Liang remembered Wu Fan's instructions and only said that his master was still in the imperial capital and that County Magistrate Guo had just called another person with the same name. After hearing this, the eunuch thought it was normal and did not think about it anymore. He turned around and left, preparing to return to the imperial capital to report.
