"Master, there's an old woman at the door outside who wants to see you, and she has a dime IOU from the Sanitation Department in her hand."

Wang Lanling was painting the scenery in the courtyard, and after hearing Hu Sangbao's words, he put down the drawing board in his hand.

"What are you looking for me? If you want money, just give it to her, why bother asking me. ”

Wang Lanling is not short of money in his hands, and he now supports dozens of customers and pays salaries to hundreds of people.

Compared with the ancient aristocracy with thousands of guests, Wang Lanling is not even a small family at present.

Hu Sangbao said: "I gave her money, but she didn't want it, saying that the little grandson was lost, and the family refused to look for it, so I came to ask the master." ”

After hearing this, Wang Lanling stood up, "Let's go out and have a look." ”

Hu Sangbao happily followed Wang Lanling out, and said as she walked: "The people in her family have gone out to look for it, saying that they were still playing with other children's children in the north of the city at noon, and when they came back, they said that they would go to the toilet, and everyone else had come back and hadn't come back." ”

Wang Lanling glanced at the sky, it was about four or five o'clock, and it was not long before it got dark.

The two of them quickly came to the door of the house, and soon looked at an old woman who was lying down the steps.

There were two women beside the old woman, and after seeing Wang Lanling come out, they quickly knelt down and said, "Lord Wang! ”

Wang Lanling said: "Get up and speak, I have already heard about the matter, and I haven't seen it for a while, why are you so anxious?" ”

The old woman quickly said anxiously: "My little doll has always been very obedient, and will definitely come back when eating, I also asked his brother to look for it, but I didn't find it after looking around, my stupid sons don't take it seriously, but I'm in a hurry!" ”

Wang Lanling nodded, walked over and took the folded IOU that the other party was holding in his hand.

"A basket of greens, three catties of nepeta, five catties of beans and a dime." Wang Lanling said the things on the IOU, and handed the IOU to Hu Sangwei casually, "I'll do this next, Sanghui, go and pass on my order." ”

"Tell the city patrol division, and every child who leaves the city should be carefully inspected at all the four city gates."

"Prepare the car, take them to the Environmental Sanitation Department, let Hu Guiqiao draw the boy's appearance, and hand it over to the people at the post station to look for it separately."

Hu Sangbao quickly said: "Okay! ”

Wang Lanling looked at the old woman again, "Can it often happen that children disappear in the city?" ”

The old woman said excitedly: "There have been several times! I've heard about three of them this year, and there are a lot of people from the countryside, and we don't know each other, so the little baby was deceived and followed. ”

"Villains do not distinguish between villagers and county people, it lies in the heart." Wang Lanling corrected this erroneous concept and said: "Now there are people in the city and county, and they will come to assist in this matter, time is pressing, you go to the Sanitation Department with her first, and I will go to the City Patrol Division." ”

"You also have a few people in the house, if the children come back, let people go to the sanitation department to say something."

The old woman and daughters-in-law quickly thanked her, followed Hu Sangbao into the carriage, and went to the Sanitation Department not far from here.

Hu Guiqiao and others all have mastered primary school culture, including portraits.

They can quickly draw a stranger they have never met before.

Wang Lanling can't do this, his primary school diploma is obtained by connections.

Wang Lanling soon went to the county office, but the county order was not here, saying that he had gone to the mining area to inspect.

Wang Lanling went to find the people of the City Patrol Division again.

Qian Maocai was drinking tea and reading the newspaper in the public room, and when he saw Wang Lanling coming in, he said with a smile: "Why is Director Wang here?" It's really a rare guest, and it's far away. ”

The relationship between the Environmental Sanitation Department and the City Patrol Department was okay, and it almost started a fight at the beginning, but the two sides later did not violate the river water, and there was more cooperation, and the relationship gradually became more harmonious.

Wang Lanling said directly: "Today, an old woman came to my house to beg me, her grandson was lost in the city, I have promised to help her find the child, and I came here to ask Lord Qian to make it convenient." ”

"What's so hard about that?" Qian Maocai didn't care at all, and said casually: "I haven't moved my body for a long time, I'll help you with this." ”

Qian Maocai rolled up his sleeves and revealed his sturdy arms, "Let's go, I'll take you to see our city patrol dog!" It's much more diligent than your sanitation department! ”

There is no shortage of talent in Heishui County.

There is no shortage of dogs.

Wang Lanling followed Qian Maocai to the side courtyard of the City Patrol Division, and as soon as he entered the courtyard with iron cages on both sides, he heard the manic barking of dogs.

The dogs raised by the farmers are for food, and the dogs raised by the big families are for the housekeepers, such as the dogs raised by the City Patrol Division, which are used to do things.

Wang Lanling looked at the giant wolf dogs in the cages on both sides, these were more like wolves than the wolf dogs of the Sanitation Department, with longer teeth and sharper eyes.

The dogs of the Sanitation Department basically quieted down when they saw their owners, and the dogs here still barked when they saw Wang Lanling and Qian Maocai and a few guards with knives.

"Quiet!" Qian Maocai kicked on the railing of the iron cage to let the surrounding dogs know his identity.

Wang Lanling did not wear an official uniform, but he stood beside Qian Maocai, and the status of the nearby followers was clear at a glance.

Qian Maocai said to Wang Lanling: "I lead two dogs, both of which are puppies raised by me, and I am the best at finding things!" Just take the child's clothes and smell them, and you'll find them all the way! ”

Wang Lanling nodded and stood there quietly.

Soon the iron cage opened, and a wolf dog that had been locked up for a long time ran out excitedly, and directly stood up and pounced on Qian Maocai.

Qian Maocai was old and strong, hugged the giant dog and touched the dog's head, patted it a little, and then hugged the other dog.

Both of them were gray-white giant dogs, and when they came out, they wagged their tails excitedly, and then they lowered their heads and sniffed around, and soon raised their heads to pounce on Wang Lanling.

Qian Maocai quickly grabbed the neck of a big dog, pressed the dog to the ground, and punched the dog's head.

The big dog let out a wailing sound, and the other big dog didn't dare to approach Wang Lanling.

It's just that nonsense is useless, they are better at barking than people.

Wang Lanling saw a lot of dogs, and knew the difference between dogs and dog owners very well, and said to Qian Maocai: "Time is pressing, when the matter is resolved, I will invite Lord Qian and the brothers who helped, as well as these two dogs to eat." ”

Qian Maocai stood up and said with a smile: "It's all a small matter, Lord Wang, please take a look!" Walk! Let's go! ”

Wang Lanling followed a few people and walked outside, and did not ask whether the city patrol department had taken care of the previous cases of children getting lost.

That kind of thing is obvious.

The City Patrol Division needs Wang Lanling to come over before he can dispatch the most elite talents and dog talents.

The Department of Sanitation is similar, the old woman herself went to ask for help, no one would help with great fanfare, and she didn't have that right.

Wang Lanling said that the people in the Environmental Sanitation Department had to temporarily stop the rest of the things and go to this task.

At the same time, because of Wang Lanling's relationship, those people in the city who didn't take this matter seriously took it seriously.

***

"Stop! Check!"

As soon as Hu Zhong and the others approached the city gate of Heishui County, they found that there were more guards here, not two of them, but five or six people standing.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Musheng quickly said: "I am an official and businessman in Muzhou, what happened in this county?" ”

When the soldiers defending the city heard this, they said: "There is a child lost in the city, and Lord Wang has ordered all the gates to be strictly checked, and many people in the county are searching from house to house. ”

When the shepherd heard that it had nothing to do with him, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, I don't know whose family lost the child?" ”

The soldier defending the city said: "It is an ordinary family, that person's family borrowed a dime from Lord Wang when he was short of food for his conscription, and this time he went to Lord Wang with a receipt, and Lord Wang took over the matter. ”

A soldier next to him said: "Now the adults and children in the city are helping to find people, and until we find people, we will all have to stay here." ”

"Good work." The shepherd said politely: "A few of us are going to enter the city to see the county order, and if the car can't enter, forget it, let's go in." ”

The soldier said: "The county order has gone to the mining area, you go to Lord Wang, the caravans in Shanzhou have seen him!" ”

The shepherd was not in a hurry to enter the city, but stood here and continued to talk: "Your side is different from the rest of the city, and the defenders of the city elsewhere are not willing to talk to us. ”

The soldier was a little embarrassed when he said this, and said: "You don't have to interfere with our work, it's okay to talk, since Lord Wang started the conscription, many people go into and out of the city every day, we can do a convenient thing and give a convenience, but when there is something to do, we have to do business." ”

The shepherd was very surprised, and the quality of the people inside could be seen from the quality of the soldiers guarding the city.

Unlike the officials and businessmen in Shanzhou, Musheng is very polite.

He said politely: "We are still followed by a lot of cattle and sheep, I don't know if Heishui County is willing to buy them." ”

The soldier didn't know about this, but he still said, "You go to Lord Wang, he can solve anything!" ”

"Other people's watermelons can't be sold, but Lord Wang bought them, and whoever finishes their work can go to the melon field to pick a watermelon, and adults and children can go back with a watermelon after finishing their work."

"There are too many sauces in the city, and Wang Lanling helped sell them to the county, and they all made money."

"The fruit of the farmer's house will rot in the forest when it is ripe, and it is also the king who collects it and makes wine, and distributes it to everyone in exchange for money."

"As long as it's not a sick cow or a sick sheep, Lord Wang will definitely give you convenience."

Mu Sheng inquired for a while, and found that the people here lacked a good impression of the official city department and the city patrol department, and he opened his mouth and closed his mouth to be Lord Wang.

They came in from the south gate of Heishui County, so they didn't see the bustle of the north gate.

The inspection of the shepherds by the city guards is mainly a routine, because the other party comes with a large number of people and animals, and always checks the ID card and certificate.

After entering the city gate, Mu Sheng, Hu Zhong and others saw a banner after passing through the dark corridor.

"Welcome to Blackwater County!"

Hu Zhong looked around and found that the city inside the city walls was much cleaner than the county seat in Muzhou, and there was no special difference.

There were a few passers-by walking nearby, and Hu Zhong felt that he should be looking for the person who had lost the child.

Chun Yuping said: "Mu Shou, it's such a big deal to lose a child in Heishui County, if only we could do the same." ”

Musheng didn't say anything, this kind of thing can't be mobilized unless it's the kind of big man who loses his child.

"Our side is different from this side, this side has been too peaceful for a long time, there are not so many things, and our side has too many things, which is more troublesome."

Mu Sheng's explanation was not agreed by everyone, and Hu Zhong felt that this was not the case.

There are some things that they can do there, but they are willing to do them.

Not to mention losing a few children, even if it is a dead person, it is basically a corpse that is thrown in a mass grave outside the city and buried, and nothing will be investigated.

Muzhou is very chaotic, very chaotic, and the roads are not very peaceful, so they are all equipped with rifles.

Some people have lived in chaotic and lawless places for a long time and have adapted to it.

Some people have lived for decades and only yearn for a peaceful life even more.

However, Muzhou people are Muzhou people, and it is basically impossible for them to leave Muzhou.

The people of Muzhou are also divided into many species, including pioneers, exiled criminals, locals, and various eastern aliens.

"Shepherd, look at those words!" Chun Yuping saw something strange.

Musheng and the others all looked there.

【Toilet location ←】

Musheng felt very strange, "It seems to be a convenient place, but it just so happens that I am uncomfortable riding a horse, and I used to pee." ”

Chun Yuping said: "I'll go too." ”

So a few people walked in the direction of the arrow, and the sky gradually darkened, and they met many people from the county on the way.

When Mu Sheng and the others entered the luxurious toilet in Heishui County, they were shocked and felt like they had walked into the office of a senior official, and the two dogs on the other side also barked at a private house.

Qian Maocai and the others, who had long been ready to go, did not hesitate and kicked in directly, and several big men directly kicked the wooden door to rot, and the people behind quickly followed the fish scales in.

With the angry shouts of Qian Maocai and others, as well as the sound of screaming and barking dogs, the matter had a result.

Wang Lanling stood outside the door, and there were not only his guards nearby, but also many onlookers who spontaneously followed.

"Who lives in this house?" Wang Lanling inquired.

A neighbor next to him quickly said: "My lord, this family lives with a couple surnamed Liu, who do circus and breathe fire in the circus troupe. ”

Wang Lanling doesn't watch the circus, so he doesn't know about this.

But soon the people and the dogs inside came out.

Qian Maocai said with a relaxed face: "There are a few children inside, when I went in, I was tied hand and foot and thrown in the yard to dry, the one you are looking for is no problem, and there is no damage to the body." ”

Wang Lanling nodded, "There is Lord Lao Qian, then I will send the child home, and the matter of convicting the prisoner will be Lord Lao Qian, and tomorrow I will hold a banquet at home to entertain Lord Qian." ”

Qian Maocai said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" ”

Wang Lanling said to Tian Yuanfang beside him: "Far away, go back and train the dog of the Environmental Sanitation Department." ”

Qian Maocai was even happier, and said with a smile: "This is not easy, the dogs of the City Patrol Division have been raised since childhood, and they have been trained since they were young. ”

Qian Maocai didn't mean anything else, he just wanted to say how powerful the dog he raised.

Anyway, these two dogs have done a great job, Wang Lanling will invite someone to eat tomorrow, and then invite the dog to eat. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
