The sixth day of October.

The snow, which had been stretching for more than ten days, finally stopped.

But the dark clouds on the horizon did not disperse.

On the morning of this day, more than ten horses and cyclists quietly left the Wei family's compound, and except for a few maids, there was only the north wind rolling in snow.

This line is Wang Shouye and others who returned to the capital.

Accompanying them to the north were Zhizhou Pu Youren, Xiaowu Moyun, scribe Xu Huaizhi, as well as Buddha light relics, demon seals and other things.

As for Zhang Siwei and Feng You, because there could be no one in the city, they had to stay in Cangzhou for the time being, and wait until the imperial court sent someone to take over before returning to Beijing.

Seeing that he had turned the corner of the street, on the second carriage, Lu Tai slowly lowered the curtains to hide the annoyance on his face.

Even if the city is in ruins and busy, that director should not be so careless-he only sent an internal guard to pass the word, and he has no intention of coming to see off the king's garrison at all!

Could it be that the guards have damaged the Buddha's light relics?

But how can things outside the world be compared with the people of a city?!

What's more, the garrison didn't expect that the demon seal was forced to counterattack in a hurry, which would cause such consequences.

The more he thought about it, the more uneven he became, Lu Tai didn't care about the bumps and swaying, he took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from his bag, spread it out to express his chest, and praised Wang Shouye's previous righteous deeds on the one hand, and denounced the world on the other.

Even if he is humble and light-hearted, he will definitely use this sword to cut a plain for the garrison!

was writing about the impassioned place, but the carriage under him suddenly came to an emergency stop, which made Lu Tai cross the raft paper with a pen of hidden front, and his previous efforts were wasted.

"Annoying!"

Lu Tai slapped his thigh angrily, picked up the curtain and was about to ask why he stopped urgently, his eyes inadvertently swept to both sides of the road, and the shouting question suddenly froze in his throat.

I saw that in the half-foot-thick snow, countless people were standing densely.

Looking ahead, near the left side of the city gatehouse, Zhang Siwei in a blue robe headed by a few squires on the left and right, holding a bright yellow Wanmin umbrella, stopped in front of Wang Shouye's carriage and horses.

Zhang Siwei smiled and bowed his hand to the car, but the squires on both sides knelt down in unison, and said in unison: "Lord Wang sacrificed his life and forgot to die, protect my city safety, this grace I Cangzhou people will never forget, I wish the Lisheng Temple to worship from afar, I wish the Lord a prosperous official fortune and many blessings!" ”

Before the words fell, hundreds of people on both sides also knelt down in the snow, thanking each other incomparably.

Lu Tai stared at all this in a daze, and suddenly retracted into the car for a while, tearing up what he had written before!

After this episode, when the convoy drove out of Cangzhou City, the spirit was completely different.

Overnight stay along the way.

Because of the snow everywhere, it was a headwind when boarding the ship to the north along the canal, and the speed of travel was much slower than when it came, until noon on the third day, when it docked at the pier of Miaoxian County.

This time, if you can't communicate in advance, there will be no pomp and circumstance for the officials to clear the field and the county magistrate to welcome you.

But Wang Shouye is also happy to keep a low profile.

Let Lu Tai stay on the dock with a large army to rest, he only took Li Rusong and Hongyu to drive into the city and go to the county government to visit Suzhi County, so as to find out the follow-up situation of the abandoned baby case.

However, at the entrance of the yamen, he explained his identity and intentions, and the first to greet him were Zhao Kui and Li Gao.

The latter is just fine, and the former appeared in the county government of Miao County, but it gave Wang Shouye an ominous premonition.

Pulling Zhao Kui to a remote place and asking, the trip to Tongzhou really encountered a setback.

However, it was said that Zhang Kui, Zhao Sanli, uncle and nephew, arrived in Tongzhou with two internal guards and more than a dozen officials, and began to secretly track down the inns and the newly rented houses.

It took about three days to finally lock down the two groups of suspects.

But before further confirmation could be made, one of the suspects disappeared without a trace.

Zhao Kui went in to investigate, and found ten corpses covered in red fruits and disfigured faces in the backyard, among which happened to be five men and five women, who should have been coerced by thieves and had to drown their flesh and bones.

Zhao Kui led people to check all night, but he couldn't find any clues that could prove the origin of the gang of thieves, and he was worried that there would be a misunderstanding in Tongzhou Mansion, so he hurriedly withdrew to Miao County.

After returning to Miao County, he was not idle, and carefully reviewed the major and minor affairs in Tongzhou several times, and finally confirmed that it was not the people who went to Tongzhou who leaked the hide, but there should be other internal ghosts, who secretly contacted and informed those thieves.

"In the past few days, we have been investigating the spies with Su Zhi County, but we have found a few suspicious people, but there is no evidence this time, and secondly, those people have also been officials in Miao County for a long time, even if they collude with those people, I am afraid that they may not be able to know the origin of the other party."

After listening to these words.

Wang Shouye was also helpless.

Originally, he folded the book in Cangzhou Mansion, and he still wanted to sprinkle sulking on those well-dressed beasts, who would have thought that it would be such a tiger-like ending.

At this time, the official who went to Tongyu hurried back, saying that Su Zhixian had prepared wine and food in the backyard, and asked Wang Shouye to move to a while.

Wang Shouye really didn't have the mood to eat and drink.

But doubling the respect for the county officials of the 'hometown' is also one of the unspoken rules of these years, and he doesn't want to break the rules rashly.

So I had to reluctantly cheer up and go to the backyard, accompanied Su Zhixian to eat a few glasses of water and wine, and exchanged opinions on the abandoned baby case.

According to Wang Shouye's meaning, it is already a surprise anyway, so it is better to simply report to the top and completely lay out the matter on the bright side.

In this way, although it may not be possible to trace the whereabouts of those thieves, at least it can be above board, and the countermeasures can be arranged at Liuli Bridge to avoid a recurrence of the tragedy.

As for the initial plan of 'misleading the public', it was temporarily put on hold and kept in case of emergency.

Wine over three rounds of food over five flavors.

In the name of being anxious to return to Beijing to unload his errands, Wang Shouye said goodbye from the county office, and saw a more beautiful carriage parked behind his car.

And near the left side of the carriage, Li Gao, with a sad face, was standing side by side with a delicate little woman.

Seeing Wang Shouye staring at the little woman, Li Gao hurriedly trotted up, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Brother, I really don't blame me for this, I went to Zhang's house for a banquet that day......

"Shunyi Fang Zhang's family?"

"Isn't that his house!"

Li Gao patted his thigh, and said with a sad face: "Just because I ate a few more cups with that second child, I don't remember how I went back to the yamen, but when I woke up the next day, this woman was lying in my bed!" ”

"Sent by the Zhang family?"

"No, no, no!"

Li Gao shook his head and said: "The Zhang family gave five hundred taels of silver, but it was for you - the niece of this woman, Wang Liu'er, was the one I taught on the dock, and he was afraid that I would trouble him again, so he secretly sent his niece to my bed!" ”

Wang Shouye looked suspicious: "You didn't take the initiative to ask for it, right?" ”

"How is that possible!"

Li Gao jumped three feet high, and pointed at the little woman with a backhand: "How can I look at this person who wants to have no breasts or no ass and no ass?!" ”

Well......

Looking at this guy's usual behavior, it is indeed a European party.

And although the little woman is a little beautiful, her chest is flat.

Nodding, he reluctantly accepted Li Gao's explanation, and Wang Shouye asked casually: "Then what are you going to do with her?" ”

"At first, I wanted to send her back, but I was afraid that her husband would not be able to tolerate her, so I thought about it......"

"Wait!"

Wang Shouye's eyes widened in astonishment: "She has a husband?!" ”

"No, we've been married for more than a year!"

"Then how dare Wang Liu'er send her to your bed?"

"Her husband's family doesn't seem to be running a serious business, so naturally she doesn't dare to offend Wang Liu'er, so she ......"

"Don't do that."

Wang Shouye sighed and said helplessly: "Let Wang Liu'er ask his husband for a seal and repair the book, and bring people back to the capital first." ”

What's going on!

He hit a wall everywhere, but Li Gao picked up a woman in a daze!
