The sound of the teacup shattering was especially clear in the night, and it traveled even further.

After hearing the sound of the teacup shattering, Xu Bai stood in the corner and left with satisfaction.

Magistrate Zhang held the letter in the brightly lit room with trembling hands.

The contents of the letter were written on the paper. When he finished reading all the contents, his hands trembled and his eyes were filled with anger.

The content was very simple. It was to tell him that the Lin family planned to submit the bribery records to the capital and wanted to drag him down from his current position.

Moreover, the Lin family had used other reasons to deliver the goods through the Dragon Conqueror Bodyguard Agency in order to be cautious.

In addition to this letter, there were also a few pieces of paper with the records of bribery.

From County Magistrate Zhang’s point of view, the contents were exactly the same. It was recorded from beginning to end.

He didn’t know who sent the letter, but if that was the case, then his official position was over.

“Who sent it?” County Magistrate Zhang thought.

After thinking for a long time, he temporarily gave up thinking about the source of the letter.

Is it important who sent this letter?

Of course it was important, but there was something more important right now.

That was to quickly block the transmission of the account book!

There were priorities, and County Magistrate Zhang did not intend to wait any longer.

He couldn’t care less. He stepped out of the door and shouted in the courtyard.

“Men!”

The county government of Great Chu also had bailiffs on duty at night, and they lived in the backyard.

Following Magistrate Zhang’s shout, a sound came from the backyard. Then, several bailiffs ran out.

A few of the bailiffs were in a hurry and didn’t even put on their clothes properly. They put them on as they ran.

“Go to the Dragon Conqueror Bodyguard Agency and secretly bring the escort master here. “County Magistrate Zhang said, “We must take advantage of the night and not alarm anyone. We must keep this matter a secret.’”‘

The bailiffs looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, but hearing that the county magistrate was so serious, they knew it was a big deal and quickly left.

After the bailiffs left, County Magistrate Zhang returned to the house and burned all the papers.

Looking at the paper that had turned into ashes, County Magistrate Zhang fell into deep thought and thought about other things.

Who sent him the letter?

What was the purpose of this person?

After this crisis was resolved, he would investigate this person.

At this time, Xu Bai had already returned to the Bodyguard Agency. He changed

into ordinary clothes, took off his coat, and lay on the bed.

He carefully recalled the contents of the letter. After confirming that there were no loopholes, he smiled with relief.

In the letter, he mentioned the Dragon Conqueror Bodyguard Agency once again, but he did not mention it at all. He only said that the Dragon Conqueror Bodyguard Agency had accepted a set of escorts.

“He should be coming soon. “Xu Bai closed his eyes and thought that it was almost time.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, someone knocked on the door of the bodyguard agency.

“Who is it? Knocking on the door in the middle of the night.” Xu Bai put on his coat and walked out of the door. He opened the door and pretended to be surprised.

As soon as the door was opened, the bailiffs rushed in and surrounded Xu Bai.

“Daren has secretly summoned you. Bring the escort and follow us to the county government. “One of the bailiffs said.

Because it was a secret, they didn’t even bring torches. It was pitch black outside.

“What? Ah! Alright, alright, wait for me.” Xu Bai walked into the room and took the empty wooden box with him.

“Let’s go!” The bailiff said and led the way.

A moment later, in the backyard of the county government.

When Xu Bai arrived at the county office, he bumped into Magistrate Zhang.

County Magistrate Zhang asked the others to leave, leaving Xu Bai alone.

“Give it to me.” County Magistrate Zhang was straightforward as he stretched out his hand.

Xu Bai pretended to be at a loss.” Sir, this is an escort. The biggest taboo in our line of work is…”

“There’s a big problem with this thing. Are you trying to disobey my orders?”County Magistrate Zhang interrupted impatiently.

He couldn’t care less now. Destroying things was the most important thing.

Xu Bai shrunk his neck and pretended to be afraid. He carefully handed the wooden box over.

County Magistrate Zhang opened the wooden box and found that it was empty.

‘What happened? What about the things inside?” His expression was filled with anger.

Xu Bai was stunned. Then, he said,” Sir, I don’t know either. I’ve never touched this thing before. No, there was a lock hanging on it. How could it disappear?’”‘

“Don’t you know that there’s no lock on it?”County Magistrate Zhang’s expression turned from anger to gloominess.

The account book was gone. What was that person thinking?

He could not figure it out.

It was still here last night. You guys were so anxious just now that I didn’t pay attention to it. It’s over, it’s over. It’s gone before we even started. The Escort Agency is hopeless…” Xu Bai took two steps back. His face was very pale, and his shoulders could not help but tremble.

Xu Bai had vividly portrayed the look of fear and despair on her face.

Actually, he could have done it even simpler.

However, if he wanted to get rid of the bodyguard agency, he had to do the opposite.

County Magistrate Zhang slowly calmed down after his anger subsided.

He looked at Xu Bai, who had a frightened expression on his face, and tried his best to keep his tone calm.” Alright, it’s none of your business. Go back quickly. You can’t tell anyone about this. Do you understand?” Pretend that it never happened.”

Too many things had happened tonight, especially the fact that the box was empty. County Magistrate Zhang had a guess in his heart.

The mysterious person who had informed him might have taken the account book away quietly.

As for why she took it away, she probably wanted to catch him.

He couldn’t think too much now. He had to settle the matter first.

As for the bodyguard in front of him, he definitely could not let him expose the matter. He had to stabilize it first.

He wanted to deal with the Lin family first!

He would first remove this thing that harbored evil intentions and then think of a way to deal with that mysterious person.

The Lin family wanted to use the bodyguard agency to get the things out, so the situation in the bodyguard agency had to be stabilized.

“But my lord…My escort…” Xu Bai whispered again.

“Let me tell you, what’s important now is not your thing. This thing is very likely to be stolen goods. I have to slowly verify it. “County Magistrate Zhang started to threaten him.

Xu Bai quickly shrunk his neck and agreed, indicating that he would never expose himself.

“You can go first.” County Magistrate Zhang waved his hand.

Xu Bai nodded. It was as if this place was the crater of a volcano. He didn’t dare to stay and quickly left.

After Xu Bai left, County Magistrate Zhang’s face was still gloomy.

No one knew what he was thinking, and no one knew what he was planning.

The night wind was very cold. Apart from the gloomy look in County Magistrate Zhang’s eyes, there was also a hint of ruthlessness.

Xu Bai walked out of the yamen until he reached the Bodyguard Agency. His expression did not change until he closed the door behind him. Finally, he could not help but smile.

The fish had taken the bait..
