24. Extermination
Liu Yuansi walked out of the house with a gloomy face and went to find Governor Zhang's mansion.
In the flower hall, Governor Zhang was waiting for the news of Yang Zhutou, and his heart was excited and expectant.
Thinking of the bright prospects that were about to unfold, he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, hummed a little song, and paced through the hall.
As soon as he paced back and forth, he saw Liu Envoy step in.
Governor Zhang hurriedly coughed twice, covered up the humming sound, and then greeted him, and said courteously: "Envoy, but you see Ling Qianjin?" ”
Liu Envoy nodded, arched his hand and said: "Thank you to the prefect for bringing the little girl back, if you can use Liu in the future, you can speak." ”
"It's important to make Si Yan heavy, but it's just a matter of duty, don't be so polite." Governor Zhang replied, but his heart was happy, this Liu Envoy is in charge, quite oily and watery, if it is really a time to sell him a face, then I don't know how much money will be paid.
was overjoyed, and suddenly heard Liu Envoy say: "Although the little girl has been found now, the thief is really too arrogant, I don't know if the prefect has a plan to exterminate it?" ”
Governor Zhang was stunned, now that he had just found Liu Yuan and exterminated the thieves, he didn't expect to go there.
But all the local officials, although they are angry and hateful to the robbers in this vicinity, are always a rat trap.
Or, the terrain is steep and difficult to capture; Or, there are so many people that it is difficult to exterminate; Or, they don't have enough manpower and are not strong enough, but to be honest, these officials are just taking that share of the money, who would really be willing to risk their own lives?
But since Liu Envoy Si said this, it seems that this Kou has to be suppressed.
Governor Zhang's eyes only rolled, and he said in a loud voice: "Naturally, naturally, if it weren't for the lack of manpower this time, I would have entered the village a long time ago." Rest assured that good news will arrive soon. ”
Hearing this, Liu Envoy's face finally softened slightly, and he arched his hand and said, "Thank you so much for the prefect's trouble." ”
"It should be, it should be." Governor Zhang started haha, since it is something that cannot be avoided, then, do your best to do it beautifully.
Seeing that he had responded, the envoy felt a little at ease, and he was still thinking about Liu Yuan in his heart, so he took his leave and left.
Governor Zhang saw that the back of the envoy disappeared, so he relaxed.
"Your Excellency!" Yang Zhutou's figure appeared at the door.
When Governor Zhang saw him, the worries in his mind were immediately thrown out of the Nine Heavens Cloud, and he only asked anxiously, "How is it?" What did she say? ”
Yang Zhutou entered the hall and arched his hand: "I have told her what the adults meant." She replied......" Yang Zhutou hesitated for a moment, and then said: "She said that it is okay to live in the yamen and assist in handling the case, but only one case can be handled in March." ”
"What!" Governor Zhang's eyes widened, he was still thinking about raising a person who could be useful at any time, but as a result, it wasn't like that at all!
He was angry in his heart and said, "What did she say?" ”
Yang Zhutou said: "It's just that it's limited by physical condition." After speaking, he added: "However, I heard Cheng Lan say before that she doesn't seem to be in good health." ”
"Not well?" Governor Zhang recalled her demeanor and appearance that day. It seems that there is some lack of strength, and he thinks it is just the weakness of the woman's family. But this may not mean anything, who knows if she is using this to live in a strange place?
It's really boring, Governor Zhang's heart swelled with disappointment, and he said happily: "Since this is the case, then let her dry it and then talk about it." Let's put it aside for now. ”
"Yes, sir." Yang Zhutou replied.
"By the way, there is an important matter, you hurry up and see how many people can be called in the yamen, and when you are ready, go to the village as soon as possible to arrest people."
Yang Zhutou was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said, "Okay, my lord, my subordinates will definitely step up to do it." ”
However, two days later, Yang Zhutou gathered enough men and horses to go to the village to get people.
Unexpectedly, the village was empty, and all the thieves were gone, and none of them were left.
