Hou Shigui nodded and said:

"Or we think too simply, the rent reduction touches the fundamental interests of these squires.

Even if we don't talk about it, they will try their best to inquire about temptation, but they will have a lot of trouble out of thin air.

In this case, it is better to tell them frankly that there is still money to take, why not? ”

"But they won't give up like that."

Hou Shigui smiled:

"Xie Jing doesn't dare to go against me, the county government is all in the hands of the second brother, but the county lieutenant Zhang Jin is his brother, but they dare to move the county guards to attack me?

All they can do is to make some small moves to injure me, destroy my fields, or fabricate some accusations against me, and go to the city to sue me, as long as they deal with it properly, it doesn't hurt. ”

Are you still making up your charges......

Lu Xingan arranged a sentence in his heart, and saw a white-faced young man walking towards his son.

didn't want to think about it, he instinctively stood in front of Childe:

"Which one are you?"

Even Hou Shigui took a few steps back with a vigilant face.

He could see that this Bai Xiaosheng was a woman dressed as a man, except for those people who love to walk the world, who has nothing to do with women dressing up as men?

Don't finally leave a Qin woman, and another woman wants to kill me and make a name for yourself.

"Zhang Fu Ling'er, I've seen Hou Gongzi."

Is she Zhang Ling?

"Miss Zhang, is there something wrong?"

Zhang Ling didn't answer Hou Shigui's question, but just looked at Lu Xing'an beside Hou Shigui and didn't say anything.

Hou Shigui understood that he wanted to break Lu Xing'an, but Lu Xing'an was unwilling to leave:

"Brother Bao and Brother Xiang are not here, Son, you are only afraid of ......"

"Are you afraid that I won't be able to deal with a woman?"

Aren't you just going to be able to deal with Miss Qin?

Lu Xingan didn't dare to say this, so he left honestly.

After he left, Zhang Ling asked:

"Hou Gongzi, I came to ask why you rejected me, but now that my father has returned, I have to go home before him, and you come in the evening...... I have something important for you. ”

After whispering the name of the place in Hou Shigui's ear, Zhang Ling hurried away.

Only Hou Shigui was left stunned.

What do you do in that deserted place at night? Is this a tryst with me?

Hou Shigui didn't think much about it, and was about to turn around and leave, not wanting to meet Chun'er's parents walking towards him:

"Little boy...... The little boy walks slowly......"

"What do you tell your uncle and aunt?"

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, we came to look for the little boy, I just want to ask the little boy if he has ever seen my family Chun'er."

As soon as the old man's words fell, Chun'er's mother said:

"Chun'er didn't return yesterday night, let's ask around, others don't know, only some people said that they saw that Chun'er was with the little boy in the end, so they wanted to ask the little boy."

"Chun'er didn't return overnight?" Hou Shigui hurriedly shook his head and said:

"I haven't seen that girl before, but you don't have to worry, I'll send someone to ride a fast horse to find her, and I won't let anything happen to Chun'er."

Hou Shigui couldn't care about the second elder's gratitude, so he got out and went back to the house to transfer people.

Although the second elder was told, he was still not at ease, and was about to go to a few more places where Chun'er loved to go.

I don't want to meet a white-faced boy:

"Two old men, are you looking for your daughter?"

"Exactly, this son knows where my daughter has gone?"

The man's face was embarrassed, and he cautiously glanced in the direction of the Hou Mansion:

"This ...... Indeed, I did not want to say it, for fear of causing death.

It can be seen that the two of you look like this, and you can't bear it, if I say it, you need to promise me that you are not allowed to say it to others. ”

Seeing that this person really knew his daughter's whereabouts, the second elder was excited for a while, and agreed without any conditions.

Only then did the man speak:

"Yesterday, I was playing in the suburbs, and I saw your daughter being taken to no man's land by the little prince of the Hou Mansion, during which she shouted for help, and I don't know the rest."

On the Hou Mansion's side, Hou Shigui, who had just finished dispatching people to find Chun'er, was about to go to the craftsman to see how they were doing.

I don't want Chun'er's parents, who just left, to come back again.

As soon as he saw himself, he knelt down without saying a word:

"Little boy, I beg you, return our Chun'er to us, I will use you as a cow and a horse, please."

His father kowtowed like pounding garlic, and his mother cried even more:

"I'm just such a daughter, little boy, can you be merciful? Sending out the ...... of compassion"

The two of them shouted for a while, which really attracted a lot of onlookers.

However, these people have received the favor of Hou Shigui, and the gratitude to Hou Shigui in their hearts is like a reborn parent.

Besides, it's normal for Childe to do this.

Then he stepped forward and persuaded:

"The little boy can take a fancy to Chun'er, that's your blessing, and be content."

"But my family Chun'er can't see anyone alive or dead, I can't see a corpse, little boy, you let Chun'er and us meet, it's okay to be okay with each other......"

"Do so much!! Is it going to rebel or not? ”

Although Lu Xingan only protected Hou Shigui, Bao Ji and Xiang Xu, who had just rushed back to Hou Shigui's side, were angry.

stepped forward and raised his foot to kick the two elders.

Fortunately, he was stopped by Hou Shigui in time, and said to the second elder:

"Chun'er's disappearance really has nothing to do with me, but don't worry, no matter what, I will definitely send someone to find Chun'er for you."

It was only after talking about it that he persuaded the second elder to leave, Hou Shigui was summoned by his mother again, and said again that he had nothing to do with Chun'er's disappearance, so he was able to get out.

Back in the room, Hou Shigui began to think.

Recently, the small households have reclaimed wasteland, and the county has sent soldiers to clear out the nearby bandits.

Chun'er can't ride a horse, can't go too far, and there's no reason to meet bandits.

Maybe it's just that this little girl is playful, where to go, right?

Hou Shigui didn't take it seriously, after sending people out to find someone, after dinner, he came to the place where he had made an appointment with Zhang Ling to wait.

Who would have thought that he waited alone in the wilderness for half an hour, and he didn't even see a ghost.

Only then did he know that he must have been tricked by that Zhang Ling.

If it was Hou Shigui in the past, it is estimated that he would rush to Zhang's Mansion to teach that Zhang Ling a lesson.

But he didn't want to get angry about such a trivial matter.

After returning to the Hou Mansion, there was nothing to do overnight.

Early the next morning, the people who were sent out finally found Chun'er, but it was ......

At the mass grave outside the city, although the officials had sealed off the scene, they still couldn't stand the crowd of onlookers desperately squeezing in.

From time to time, a few miserable howls and cries sounded, making the scene even more lively.

Hou Shigui took Bao Ji and the others to fight the horses, and he felt that the eyes around him suddenly fell on him, and he was full of anger.

These are the people of Linben County who came to see the excitement.

Although Hou Shigui did mischief in the past, he didn't kill anyone.

But now, I heard that this poor little girl had been with him before.

You don't have to decide the case at all, you think about it with your toes, you know that this tragic thing must have been done by this guy!

Seeing that everyone dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, Hou Shigui sighed lightly and ordered Bao Ji to open the way.

After those officials saw Hou Shigui, they also automatically got out of the way.

After Hou Shigui entered, the first thing he saw was Chun'er's parents who were crying and their eyes were red.

And then there'...... Disheveled and bruised, Chun'er lay quietly on the ground, no longer shy that day.
