Xiaolong waited until he saw off his colleagues and asked them to follow his entourage Zhao Yunhai to the restaurant to order food first, and he sorted it out first and then went over, so that he could have the opportunity to call the woman in front of him and ask the reason for the matter.

"My lord! I'm afraid it's a long time to talk about this matter in detail, and the folk women simply start with the fact that the Lu family, a wealthy man here, was robbed by robbers in one night more than 30 years ago, and the head of the family also died. The Lu family is actually my mother-in-law's mother-in-law's mother-in-law at that time, and my mother-in-law married my father-in-law for three years and gave birth to a son. Among them, my father-in-law also had a very favored concubine and gave birth to a son. Because this concubine was favored and had a son, she gave birth to the desire to win Longwangshu, and managed to get rid of my mother-in-law's son. My mother-in-law wanted to kill the concubine, but my father-in-law couldn't do it. Her mother-in-law was not convinced, so she used her own financial resources to squeeze on my father-in-law's business. Who knew that my father-in-law was not a serious businessman, it turned out that he was still a robber on the mountain"

As soon as she said this, Xiaolong was startled and couldn't help but interrupt: "You said your father-in-law is a robber?" ”

The woman nodded affirmatively, "My lord! The women of the people did not dare to lie, they were indeed robbers. Please listen to the women. ”

Xiaolong sat upright, a little secretly blamed himself for not being able to hold his breath, coughed, nodded at the woman, and said, "Hmm! Go on! ”

"Yes! My lord, who thinks that my father-in-law is a robber, and he was forced to run out of patience by my mother-in-law's mother-in-law, so he had the heart to do nothing, and directly robbed their family, and killed the Lu family as a family, which is my mother-in-law's father. Shortly afterwards. My mother-in-law found out from the concubine's jewelry that my father-in-law robbed her mother-in-law and killed her father, so she wanted to sue my father-in-law for being a bandit. How do you know that my father-in-law is faster than her, and when she found out that my mother-in-law was going to the government to denounce him. I hanged my mother-in-law, saying that I couldn't stand my father-in-law's spoiled concubine and killed his wife.

Later, he announced that he had disposed of the concubine and gave it to his wife for burial, but in fact, the concubine was alive and well, and remarried in the name of someone else's daughter and became a stepwife. My husband also took the position of my sister-in-law in the name of my mother-in-law's son, and received all the dowry of my mother-in-law. She said she didn't know whether she was nervous or thirsty, and swallowed several times to foam at the foam. Because there is no one else to serve. Er Ya stood up and poured her a glass of water to moisten her throat.

The woman took a few sips of water from the teacup and nodded gratefully. Then he said: "The inside story of this incident was not known to the women of the people, until not long ago, when she met an old beggar who was hit by the carriage I was riding in and was injured, and this old beggar had many diseases because of his own diseases. I don't have long to live. In addition, he was injured, and when he was carried to the medical center, he was about to die. Who knew that before he was about to breathe, he must see the women alone.

After the old beggar had finished talking about these things in one breath, he told the truth, and he said that the actual identity of the step-mother-in-law was that of another gang of robbers.

The woman was not able to think about how terrible these things were because she was flustered, until she was suddenly awakened by a nightmare and could not sleep, and then she thought about what the old beggar had said. I realized that I had been involved in an earth-shattering event, and I would lose my life if I was not careful. It's also because the more I think about it, the more scared I become. The next morning, I ran back to my parents' house in a panic. It is estimated that the father-in-law of the migrant woman ran back to his parents' house because the migrant woman did not say hello and was suspicious, and he wanted to take the migrant woman back for interrogation. She took a breath and took two sips of tea.

Xiaolong, Xiaohu, and Erya looked at each other, they couldn't have imagined that when they first arrived here, they encountered such a shocking case before they took office. This thing is easy to touch, but as a prefect, it must be touched.

Xiaolong took a while before he spoke: "If your father-in-law had to interrogate you before, now I know that you know." If you're telling the truth, you're in danger right now. Do you know? ”

The woman put down the teacup, bowed her head, and replied in a low voice: "It is because the women of the people know that they will take the opportunity of the city gate to jump off the carriage and ask for help." If the women were brought back by them this time, whether they knew the inside story or not, they would not be able to survive. My father-in-law is suspicious and ruthless, he is a wicked man who would rather kill by mistake than misplace. ”

When Erya heard her say this, she immediately said to Xiaohu: "You must take care of the safety of this house no matter how you do it these days, and don't be careless." ”

Xiaohu nodded solemnly, the harrier he released last night came back with a reply this morning. Not only did Liu Wenzhu send a hundred people over, but even Li Dangtou, who helped Wang Shoucang send tea to the northern grassland, got the news, and also said that he would transfer fifty good people from all over the world to help them. They rode all the way, and even if they traveled day and night, they could only reach it in half a month at most.

Xiaolong beckoned Zhang Han to take the woman down and told her to keep her safe. Zhang Han was guarding the door, of course he knew the seriousness of the matter, and specially arranged for Jin Mu and Alar to guard the woman.

As soon as the woman left, Erya said, "It's best to ask the scouts from all over the world to come and inquire about the news." None of our men can move, lest they startle the snake. ”

Xiaolong shook his head and said, "It's okay! Fighting grass and scaring snakes has its own response, and secret investigation has its own response to secret investigation, these are not important. It is imperative that this robber, who is hidden among the people, be eliminated as soon as possible. It's best to drive them all to the mountains, and when the time comes, it's a legitimate thing to send people to suppress the bandits, so why not have any evidence? ”

Erya asked suspiciously, "Then you are going to do it?" ”

"In the name of his daughter-in-law's report that he was a gangster, he raided his house and got something from his ex-wife's mother's house, which is clear proof."

Erya hurriedly shook her head: "I don't think it's appropriate to do this, if it's not good, you will fall in it and can't turn over." Since he is a robber, he cannot hide the traces of his deeds. The scouts in the world still have some skills, if they are to investigate, once they find out something, they can still alarm the emperor above. If you act in this way, even if you make a mistake, others will not be able to arbitrarily arrange you in front of the emperor. Now that you're new here, you're still on the safe side! ”

Xiaohu nodded again and again, agreeing with his daughter-in-law's opinion: "Your sister-in-law is right, you don't covet merit as soon as you take office." You have to take your time in everything, so as not to trap yourself in it because you are in a hurry. Your first task now is to keep the produce here busy, and you have to take care of it, but you can't compromise yourself here for the sake of it. ”

Xiaolong nodded with a guilty face, accepting the advice of his brother and sister-in-law: "My brother knows what to do!" Thank you brother and sister-in-law for your teaching! Now now send her to a safe place, lest there be no rest in the house. ”

Xiaohu shook his head: "No! If they dare to come to the door to commit murder, it is better to arrest one of them, and to judge which hill they belong to, and which hill the woman's maiden family belongs to. ”

"Brother! Just interrogate those two domestic servants directly, why bother! ”

Xiaohu shook his head: "When I was at the city gate before, you didn't see it in the car behind, but I saw it clearly in front." These two people don't have any skills, either they are ordinary people, or they are little minions who don't know anything. Interrogating them may not lead to much more, it is better not to ask, it is better to use them to confuse the person into thinking that we don't know anything. ”

Xiaolong encountered such a major event when he first became an official, and he was a little dizzy, but fortunately, his brother and sister-in-law came with him to help him analyze the situation and help him make ideas, and his heart gradually settled down, and he began to think carefully about how to deploy the future arrest plan.

Er Ya was even more drenched in cold sweat, if it weren't for the fact that he had raised these orphans in advance, so that Xiaolong, who was a high school and had to be a high-ranking official, had so many helpers to protect him, he couldn't say that something like this would have killed him today. Those robbers and bandits have nothing to dare to do, killing the prefect is not that they don't dare, it's just that the prefect didn't hinder them, once they hindered them, they would give them a knife without blinking.

The three brothers, sisters-in-law, and younger brothers were thinking differently, and Tie Da's rough voice came from outside: "The owner, my lord!" The second child of the restaurant came over to say hello and said that the wine and food had been served, and the adults were invited to come over for dinner. ”

Xiaolong was the first to stand up and replied, "Got it! Have all the adults arrived? ”

"Xiao Er said that they are already seated, just waiting for you and the owner!"

Erya is a woman, and she can't go to the men's banquet, so she can only cook some food at home. After dinner, I began to think about how to place this woman, I can't keep a few boys guarding! If you keep it by your side, you will have to walk around, look at the fields, and how to open up the wasteland, cultivate, and develop agriculture and commerce!

After thinking about it, I still feel that Xiaolong is right, it is best to send this woman to a safe place, and they can do things freely here.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the Yan family's study, which was denounced by the woman, was also unprecedentedly tense: "Have you ever seen the daughter-in-law of Zhu Xiang taken away by the new prefect?" ”

The subordinate shook his head nervously: "Go back to the master!" The little ones have never seen it with their own eyes! It's a guess when I hear a few people talking about it in the city! ”

Yan Zhuxiang's eyes were red, and there was a trilling voice in his voice: "Dad! What to do? ”

Yan Dangjia's current mood is depressed beyond description, it is really unlucky. Those two useless things, how did they get people into the hands of the prefect? If you can't bring it back, can't you just kill it? A bunch of idiots who don't have long brains!

He didn't answer his son's question directly, but asked the subordinate who reported the news: "What kind of lineup is the new prefect?" Have you asked? ”

"Back to the master's words! The small one asked in detail, saying that there were more than a dozen strangely shaped carriages. The drivers were all sitting in the carts, and the reins were in their hands, and they said that they were all young and strong. There were also a dozen young and sturdy boys, who rode on either side, with hammered axes more than three feet long pinned to their waists, and quivers on their shoulders, but there were no longbows to be seen. When the subordinate said this, he looked up cautiously at the master's face, and added: "I heard that all of them have extraordinary bearings and have a bit of ability." ”

Yan Dangjia lowered his eyelids and thought for a long time before raising his eyes and saying to his son: "From now on, ask everyone to give me a good cat, and no one is allowed to act rashly." If anyone causes trouble, provoke the disaster star to come to the door, no matter who he is, all of them will die! ”

The subordinate standing in front of him listened to the master's cold and emotionless command, and his calves trembled involuntarily. (To be continued.) )
