The world's first county magistrate

Chapter 247 Zhao Kingdom Emperor
Zhuo Mu has made up his mind that he must avenge his son.

So Zhuo Mu resigned from the woman, and went to the palace to report the matter to the emperor by himself.

Soon a carriage came out of Zhuo Mansion and rushed to the palace.

Zhuo Mu is the general of Zhao State, and Zhuo Mu did a lot of things for Zhao State when the country was in chaos.

Relying on his own strength, he forcibly expanded the state of Zhao to the present level.

Moreover, Emperor Zhao respected Zhuo Mu very much.

And also gave Zhuo Mu a lot of privileges.

So when Zhuo Mansion's carriage arrived at the palace, almost all the way to the green light.

Isn't that crap?

The relationship between Zhuo Mu and the current emperor is known to everyone in Kyoto, and this is the general of Zhao Guo, who has commanded hundreds of thousands of Zhao Guo's troops.

Even if it wasn't in the palace, as long as they heard his name Zhuo Mu, people would already be scared.

Zhuo Mu walked in the palace with strides, and soon he ran into an old acquaintance.

"Isn't this General Zhuo? I'm afraid he entered the palace today to find the emperor, right? What's going on with this fast-moving man?"

A father-in-law spewed out several questions after seeing Zhuo Mu.

Zhuo Mu stopped and looked at the father-in-law.

"It turned out to be Eunuch Yun, just right, tell me where the emperor is? I have something important to discuss with the emperor."

Zhuo Mu's face lit up when he saw Eunuch Yun.

This Eunuch Yun is the emperor's personal eunuch, and I am afraid that he should be referred to this eunuch for everything.

Moreover, Eunuch Yun has been with the emperor for decades, so he can be regarded as an old man in the palace.

Eunuch Yun walked up to Zhuo Mu and smiled faintly.

"The emperor is in the imperial study right now! Seeing that the general is in such a hurry, then our family will not delay the general. It happens that our family still has something to do, so the general can go by himself."

Eunuch Yun said silently.

Zhuo Mu bowed his hands to Eunuch Yun: "Then Eunuch Yun will go and do it first, I know the way myself."

Zhuo Mu also said slowly.

Eunuch Yun is a celebrity around the emperor. Under normal circumstances, many officials respect Eunuch Yun.

After Zhuo Mu finished speaking, he went straight to the imperial study.

Meeting Eunuch Yun was just a small episode.

Zhuo Mu came to the imperial study room and knocked on the door.

Soon after, a dignified voice came from the room.

"Come in!"

Zhuo Mu knew that this voice was the voice of the current Holy Emperor.

Zhuo Mu hurried into the imperial study.

"The final general will see the emperor!"

After Zhuo Mu came to the side of Emperor Zhao, he quickly knelt down and said respectfully.

Emperor Zhao Guo was reading the memorial at this time, when he heard the voice, he raised his head and took a look, and found that it was Zhuo Mu who came, and put down the memorial slowly.

"It turned out to be General Zhuo, you bastard, how did you know you were coming to see me in the palace today? Or did you know you came to see me because of something?"

The emperor looked at Zhuo Mu and joked.

Zhuo Mu immediately lowered his head after hearing this: "The general is terrified!"

The Emperor Zhao waved his hand and said impatiently, "What is your relationship with me? Don't I know what kind of person you are?"

"And did I say no courtesy? You just stand up?"

Zhuo Mu smiled embarrassingly when he heard Emperor Zhao's words: "Nothing can be hidden from the emperor's eyes, and the general will indeed ask the emperor for something."

Zhuo Mu said with a smile, but he didn't mention a word about Emperor Zhao's request.

Emperor Zhao didn't say anything, but looked at Zhuo Mu curiously and said, "Tell me! I want to see what makes you come to me and beg me in person."

Zhuo Mu slowly came to Emperor Zhao's side.

"It's like this. A few days ago, Quanzi discovered that the county magistrate of Zhen'an County, Tianguang County, secretly colluded with Chu State, and has been doing business with Chu State, so he asked to send troops to round up the county magistrate of Zhen'an County."

Zhuo Mu said slowly.

Emperor Zhao nodded silently after hearing this: "I also know about this matter? Didn't I already agree?"

Emperor Zhao looked at Zhuo Mu with some puzzlement.

Zhuo Mu also nodded vigorously: "Yes, the emperor has indeed agreed."

"But Quanzi led his soldiers to round up the magistrate of Zhen'an County and was killed!"

Zhuo Mu said sadly.

Emperor Zhao was also taken aback when he heard this!
"What! Killed?"

"Yeah!" Zhuo Mu nodded, "Gouzi led [-] private soldiers to round up the magistrate of Zhen'an County, but the entire army was wiped out!"

"The general thinks there must be tricks in this! Otherwise, it is impossible to fight five thousand private soldiers with the impoverished Zhen'an County. There must be traces of Chu State!"

Zhuo Mu will speak out his thoughts.

Emperor Zhao frowned slightly when he heard this.

He knew Zhen'an County, which already belonged to the border of Zhao State, and also bordered with Chu State.

If the county magistrate of Zhen'an County really has contacts with Chu State, it may be the most convenient place.

And what Zhuo Mu said was not unreasonable, Zhen'an County was on the border of Zhao State, so the nearby counties were very poor and it was impossible for them to defeat [-] private soldiers.

Even one thousand private soldiers may be enough for them to drink a pot. How could five thousand private soldiers be wiped out?

If he was asked to say it, he would definitely believe that there must be traces of Chu State in it.

"Is this true?" Emperor Zhao asked, frowning.

Zhuo Mu nodded quickly: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely true!"

Emperor Zhao still frowned and nodded.

"That's good, I'll send people from the Black Water Prison to investigate now!"

Emperor Zhao thought for a long time, and finally decided to send someone to investigate.

"Wait a minute!" Zhuo Mu hurriedly stopped the Emperor Zhao's movements. He looked at the puzzled eyes of the Emperor Zhao, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I will finally want to settle this matter by myself."

"Regardless of whether the magistrate of Zhen'an County really has contacts with Chu State, he has already killed the dog of the last general, and also killed the minister of Zhao State."

"Not only that, but in the face of the roundup, the magistrate of Zhen'an County resisted the order and killed all the private soldiers. This has violated Zhao's law and is enough to convict him."

"So the general requested that the general take him back with his own hands and let the emperor deal with him."

It is impossible for Zhuo Mu to let the emperor of the Zhao Kingdom mobilize the people in the Blackwater Prison. Although the Blackwater Prison is the most authoritative place in the Zhao Kingdom, and all of them are the emperor's cronies, Zhuo Mu still wants to solve the murderer of his son himself.

Emperor Zhao looked at Zhuo Mu with a smile, and he could naturally see the little thought in Zhuo Mu's heart.

But seeing that Zhuo Mu had lost his son in middle age and was the general of Zhao State, Emperor Zhao agreed with Zhuo Mu's idea after thinking about it.

"Okay, then you will take this traitor back to the capital!"

Emperor Zhao said with a smile.

Zhuo Mu was overjoyed when he heard it from behind, and quickly knelt down.

"Kneel down and thank the emperor!"

Emperor Zhao looked at Zhuo Mu and quickly waved his hands. He also knew how Zhuo Mu felt when he lost his son.

His son was not born to his wife, but the son who accidentally had an affair with a woman when he was guarding the border.

But the key point is that the woman died of bleeding after giving birth to the child. Zhuo Mu brought the child to the Zhuo Mansion after she knew about it, and she always cared for the child and gave the child the best things.

Of course, this is also because Zhuo Mu's wives all gave birth to daughters, and only this one son.

Now that his only son has been killed, this feeling is hard to understand.
