"Don't be rude to Lu Engong!" Hou Kaishan shouted, if it was in the past, according to his cautious temperament, he would definitely say: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

But today's events made him chaotic, and his perception of the Tang State government fell to the bottom, and he let his son scold the government on the street.

Lu Yuan knew that there must be a reason for things, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, you might as well tell me what happened after entering the yamen, and I will help you analyze it." ”

Hou Kaishan nodded, and said everything he and his son said after entering the county office, Xing Zhutou's question, and his own answer.

After Lu Yuan thought about it carefully, he suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him, and he said solemnly: "Brother Hou came to Ningguo County to find his daughter?" ”

Speaking of his daughter, the big man's eyes turned red again: "Don't hide it from Engong, the little girl has been missing for more than two years, and the villain has been looking for more than two years. ”

Lu Yuan said slowly: "In my opinion, the reason lies with Brother Hou's daughter. ”

Hou Kaishan's eyes widened suddenly: "Engong means that my daughter is missing and Tang Guoguan is ...... And what does it have to do with them? ”

Lu Yuan nodded: "Other than that, there is no other explanation." ”

Hou Yue said angrily: "Daddy, let's go and ask the dog official, maybe we can find out the whereabouts of my sister." ”

Hou Kaishan shook his head, he has been wandering in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he knows the truth that the people do not fight with the officials, his daughter is gone, and he doesn't want his son to die.

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Hou, if you continue to stay in Ningguo County, you are only afraid of danger. ”

Hou Kaishan smiled miserably: "The villain knows, go back and pack up, and the villain and Xiao'er will return to Chu State." ”

Lu Yuan said solemnly: "If Brother Hou can trust me, it is better to go to She County, and maybe someone will help Brother Hou find his daughter." ”

Hou Kaishan took a closer look at him, saw that he didn't seem to be joking, and said in a deep voice: "The villain's father and son's lives were saved by Engong, how can there be any truth that can't be believed in Engong, the villain will go back to clean up, and he will go to She County tonight." ”

He is an old Jianghu, and he vaguely guesses that Lu Yuan's identity is extraordinary, and seeing that he didn't say it explicitly, it is inconvenient to ask more.

After separating from the father and son, Lu Yuan led Lu Yutong to the inn, thinking about Hou Kaishan along the way.

He speculated that Hou Kaishan's daughter was abducted by a human trafficking organization, and Xing Zhutou was likely to be implicated in this organization.

He knows very well that there are probably big figures behind this kind of human trafficking, and at the moment he has no official position and no position, so he can't help at all, so it is better to wait for himself to take up the post of county magistrate of She County, and then slowly investigate it is not too late.

While thinking about it, there was a sudden pull in his hand, and when he looked back, it turned out that Lu Yutong stood still again.

Following her gaze, Lu Yuan saw the maltose stall again, and he smiled: "Do you want to eat?" ”

Lu Yutong didn't answer.

Lu Yuan smiled: "I remember just now when I said that I would buy you another ball, you obviously shook your head, since that's the case, let's go." ”

Lu Yutong glared at him, withdrew his small hand from his big hand, and walked forward with small steps, not looking at the maltose stall again.

Lu Yuan said in a loud voice: "Boss, have one." ”

After hearing this, the little girl quickly ran back, stretched out her little hand, and held Lu Yuan's big hand.

After the vendor saw Lu Yuan, he smiled and said, "Xianggong, you are really cheering, and the villain will give you a big share." ”

Lu Yutong's little face showed a happy smile after hearing this, this was the first time Lu Yuan had seen her smile so happily, and he didn't want it to be because of a small piece of maltose.

Back in the inn wing, after sitting for a long time, I heard heavy footsteps in the corridor.

"Tuk tuk tuk", there was a knock on the door, Lu Yuan opened the door and saw that it was Mu Shun who came back.

Mu Shun handed over the two small ingots and said, "My lord, the matter is done." He bowed to Lu Yutong and said, "Hello, Miss." ”

Lu Yutong tilted his head to look at him, looking a little confused.

Lu Yuan was curious: "How did you do it?" ”

Although he is a modern person, he also has the memory of the original owner of the body, and he really can't figure out how Mu Shun solved this matter so quickly.

Mu Shun said with a smile: "I asked Uncle Wang's family to help, they will pay for the two taels of silver first, and when the landlord comes back, they will go to the landlord to ask for a deposit." ”

"But the family surnamed Wang who lives next door to me?"

"Not bad."

Lu Yuan is even more strange, in his memory, the original lord Lu Yuan is arrogant, he doesn't want to make friends with ordinary people, and he is very cold to the neighbors around him, why is the family surnamed Wang willing to help him?

Lu Yuan asked the question, Mu Shun was stunned, and said with a smile: "They learned that the adult is going to be a big official, so they are naturally willing to help." ”

Lu Yuan thought that this would make sense, and his doubts were dispelled.

After a while, Qin Li also came back, and he smiled: "My subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored, and they have found a good trust, and when the adults take office, send someone to notify them, and they will come to help you move the furniture." ”

Lu Yuan asked about the price, and Qin Li said: "These trustees know that the adults will go to the county order, and they are willing to consign them for the adults for free." ”

Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "No, you take me there, and I'll make it clear to them face to face." ”

Qin Li's eyes rolled and said: "Your Excellency is arrogant, your subordinates admire you, it's better for your subordinates to give them the money." ”

Lu Yuan nodded and said, "It's okay, you go and ask the price, pay them according to the price, the money will be advanced first, and I will give it to you later." ”

"Subordinates receive orders."

Seeing that he was still standing in place and didn't leave, Lu Yuan wondered, "Is there anything else going on with Master Qin?" ”

Qin Li said with a look of embarrassment: "There is something in my subordinates, I don't know if I should talk about it?" ”

"Say it."

"When my subordinates came back, when they passed by Wang's house, they heard someone in the house slandering the lord."

Lu Yuan glanced at Mu Shun and asked, "What are they scolding me, tell me the truth." ”

Qin Li lowered his head and said: "They say that adults bully others and bully the weak, and they will definitely be a dog official in the future." ”

Mu Shun glared at Qin Li fiercely, and said angrily: "Bastard, it is obvious that they said that they would take the initiative to help, but they dare to face each other, don't worry, my lord, wait for me to reason with them, and ensure that they don't dare to talk nonsense again." ”

Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "Let's go together." ”

Mu Shun stopped in front of him and said hurriedly: "My lord, just let me go for this kind of trivial matter." ”

Qin Li shouted: "Mu Shun, do you dare to commit the next offense?" ”

Mu Shun didn't dare to say anything, and retreated to the side.

Lu Yuan led Lu Yutong, followed by Qin Li and Mu Shun, and headed towards the small courtyard.

Standing outside the door of the king's house, he did not hear the insults, he knocked on the door, and after a while, the door opened.

It was a young man who opened the door, and after seeing Lu Yuan's appearance clearly, his face changed greatly, and he said in a panic: "Lu Xianggong...... Is there something wrong with Lord Lu? ”

Mu Shun said loudly: "Lord Lu came to look for you, of course there is something, don't invite Lord Lu in!" ”

"Shut up!" Lu Yuan shouted.

Mu Shun saw Lu Yuan angry for the first time, and he suddenly didn't dare to squeak.

Lu Yuan knew that this young man was Uncle Wang's youngest son, named Wang Xiaolang, and asked, "Is your father at home?" ”

Wang Xiaolang panicked: "Daddy is at home, adults, please come in." ”

Entering the small courtyard, Wang Xiaolang shouted loudly: "Daddy, second uncle, Lord Lu is here!" ”

As soon as the voice fell, seven or eight people suddenly poured out of each room, and one of them was a tall old man in his fifties who was Uncle Wang.

His heart sank, and he said in his heart: "It's bad, I'm afraid that it wasn't the mother-in-law who scolded him, but he heard it." With a smile on his face, he said, "The villain has seen Lord Lu." ”

Lu Yuan said gently: "I haven't been appointed as an official yet, so the uncle can just call me by name." ”

Qin Li, who was standing behind him, frowned, and said in his heart: "I don't know if he is pretending, or if he is really a good official who loves the people." If it's the latter, I'm afraid that life won't be easy in the future. ”

Uncle Wang smiled, but he didn't know how to answer.

Lu Yuan suddenly noticed a red mark on his face and asked, "Uncle Wang, what's wrong with your face?" ”

Uncle Wang waved his hand again and again: "It's okay!" It's okay! ”

Lu Yuan sighed, he had already guessed what was going on, he took out two taels of silver and handed it over: "Uncle Wang, please give me my rental contract." ”

Uncle Wang was shocked, but Wang Xiaolang saw the opportunity quickly and ran back to the house to take out the rental contract.

Lu Yuan bowed his hands and bowed: "Today's incident is that my subordinates acted rudely, and Lu Yuan is here to make amends to you." ”

Seeing his attitude, Uncle Wang finally believed that he was sincere in making amends, and he smiled and said: "My lord, you give me the contract book, take the silver taels, and the villain is willing to help the adult check out." ”

Lu Yuan said: "I understand the uncle's kindness, I have other ways to do this, uncle don't worry, Lu Yuan will leave." ”
