Li Guolou calmed Huang Tian for a while, he naturally had a kind face, and the lies he said in his mouth were easy to believe. Huang Tian would only nod in recognition of Li Guolou's actions, and go to the landlord Lao Cai Huang to eat and live in a good house, which is called not entering the tiger's den and getting a tiger. The demagogic rhetoric made Huang Tian believe that since the official mission came, he would never return empty-handed, and when the inspection was completed, Huang would be arrested and put into the yamen.

Huang Tian's eyes showed a fierce light in his nodding, and he admonished: "Chief Li, people like Huang Kaohao are all lowly embryos, as long as a hundred big boards are beaten, it is guaranteed that all the water in the bamboo tube will be poured out." Official, you must not be soft-hearted. ”

Li Guolou pretended to be confused, nodded and smiled, and said, "Hmm! It is reasonable, I will definitely not let go of the rich and unkind Huang Kaohao, Huang Tian, you go home first, and there will be good news for you tomorrow. ”

Huang Tianshi showed a happy expression and said: "Then good Chief Li, I rely on you, your heart is really good, and Jin Zhutou is also a good person." It's not like our officials here at all, or the officials around the emperor are good officials, so honest and love the people. ”

Li Guolou's face was a little hot and dry by Huang Tian's words, everyone has a kind side, and they want to be good officials when they are officials. But people are selfish, and he has never met a good official who is not a corrupt official.

Li Guolou was carrying two hot eggs, and he was still holding an egg in his hand to peel off, and Jin Erzi and Huang Bing were also eating eggs while walking. Li Guolou turned his head and glanced at the child who was following behind him, and raised the egg in his hand.

Xiao Heipi seemed to struggle for a while in his heart, and finally ran to Li Guolou, spreading one hand outstretched.

Li Guolou took out the two eggs in his arms, put them in the child's hands, and said: "Little Heipi, you have the potential to be a fast catcher, but if you want to be a fast catcher, you can only follow and chase this trick, you still have to have knowledge, go home and study hard." You know? ”

Xiao Heipi raised his head and said in a childish voice: "I won't study until next year, Chief Li." ”

Li Guolou laughed and said, "Little Heipi, you are quite powerful, you even know my surname." ”

The little black skin said triumphantly: "I also know that your subordinate is called Jin Erzi." ”

Jin Erzi also smiled and gave Xiao Heipi an egg, which he had already eaten the last one.

With the benefits of three hard-boiled eggs, the little black skin walked on the sheep intestine path openly, and two catchers followed on both sides. In this way, Li Guolou has another subordinate named "Zhang Gazi" in Huangcun.

Li Guolou asked teasingly: "Zhang Gazi, are there any bad people in your Huang Village?" ”

Zhang Gazi glanced at Huang Bing, "Hey, hey, hey!" The laughter kept stopping, which made Huang Bing lose face, and waved his hand: "Zhang Gazi, go home for dinner." ”

Zhang Gazi shook his head and said, "Huang Baozheng, I didn't say anything. ”

Huang Bing glared at Zhang Gazi viciously, telling this stinky boy to be honest.

Li Guolou asked again: "Zhang Gazi, then tell me whose yard you threw stones into." ”

"Ahh Zhang Gazi showed a surprised expression, and he couldn't believe what he had done, and Chief Li also found out.

Huang Bing glanced at him and said, "Zhang Gazi, don't worry, no one saw you throw stones, Chief Li also threw stones when he was a child." ”

Li Guolou and Jin Erzi laughed together, and the four figures on the ridge walked more briskly.

Zhang Gazi was scratching his scalp along the way, Li Guolou saw it in his eyes, and thought to himself: Zhang Gazi is a talent, use his brain until now, and when Huang Bing is not around, ask Zhang Gazi, what are the bad guys in Huang Village?

The four of them walked more than a mile and came to Jin Boran's house, where his daughter Jin Xiuyu disappeared more than a year ago and has not been heard from since.

Jin Boran's family has a total of five people, the old mother is still here, the wife is a local, and there are twins who are less than one year old, and they are still in their arms.

When Jin Boran's family heard that the official had come to inquire about the situation of their daughter Jinxiuyu, who had been missing for more than a year, they all gathered in the guest hall to confide in Li Guolou about their lovesickness for Jinxiuyu. As he spoke, the whole family cried together, and a pair of twin sons also cried loudly in the arms of their mother and father, and the whole family sang in chorus.

Li Guolou was completely speechless, he wanted to ask about the situation, but he felt that there was nothing to ask, and along the way, Baozheng Huang Bing told him about the disappearance of Jinxiuyu a year ago. This is almost out of the boundary of Huangcun, and there is a four-way intersection in front, God knows where the little girl Jinxiuyu was abducted by traffickers?

Jin Erzi was ashamed, comforted a few words, and said: "Don't worry, old woman, we will definitely get your granddaughter back, this time we are prepared, there are already clues, you just wait for the good news." ”

When the old woman heard this, she happily showed her toothless mouth, laughed dryly, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, we don't have any good things at home, let's give you a few chickens raised outside." ”

Jin Erzi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hey! Old woman, we are the fast catchers of the Beijing Division, and the eagle claws released by the emperor, how can we ask for the things of the common people. We're going to have to pay for such adorable twins. After saying that, Jin Erzi also took out a few copper coins and gave them to the old woman, which immediately won the favor of Jin Boran's family.

Zhang Gazi shouted beside him: "I'm about to celebrate my birthday!" ”

Li Guolou touched Zhang Gazi's head and said with a smile: "Zhang Gazi, I will give you benefits, I will ask you later." ”

Huang Bing was uncomfortable, and immediately showed Zhang Gazi a vicious face, he was the number one villain in Huang Village, everyone was afraid, whoever dared to provoke him, he would ask people to go to the border.

Zhang Gazi was quite bold, stuck out his tongue at Huang Bing, and made a grimace, this is the ignorant person is fearless.

Leaving Jin Boran's home, on the four-way road, Li Guolou and Jin Erzi explained a few words, and he had to go door to door to see, and let Jin Erzi go to the family near Jin Boran's house to inquire.

Li Guolou turned to Huang Bing and said, "Don't worry, Huang Baozheng, I won't break your rules." But could you please mark the families that are not marked on the map? It saves me from having to do correction work all the time. ”

Huang Bing said angrily: "You have a lot of business, bring it!" ”

When he took back the brown paper map, Huang Bing was angry again, the map had been marked by Li Guolou, and the spots were all marks.

Li Guolou hurriedly said: "Huang Baozheng, I still have a bone fan, which I will give to you at night." ”

Huang Bing was dissatisfied: "I also like that diorama." ”

Li Guolou's face twitched, and he said embarrassedly: "That's my personal belongings, there is only one piece, I'll see what is in the box to give away." ”

Huang Bing looked up and down at the foreign Li Guolou, wanting to squeeze out some oil and water, this is what he is best at, since the chief is a soft persimmon, how can he let go of the opportunity to make a small fortune.

Huang Bing said with a smile: "Chief Li, your pair of military boots are very good-looking, I'll go back and help you wash them as a souvenir." ”

Li Guolou hurriedly said: "Huang Baozheng, then you are not allowed to turn over my box." ”

Huang Bing shook his head and said: "Chief Li is late, yesterday our civil team leader has already seen everything, he knows what you have." ”

Li Guolou asked, "Huang Baozheng, who is the leader of your village's people's team?" ”

Huang Bing pointed to his nose and said happily: "That's me." When outsiders come to our village, I don't want to find out. ”

Li Guolou could only shake his head, this is the disadvantage of drinking together, so that everyone has no dignity, just like Jin Erzi, he is not afraid of him now.

Waiting for Huang Bing and Jin Erzi to leave, Li Guolou packed up the map, tucked the household registration book around his waist, looked at Zhang Gazi beside him, and said, "Zhang Gazi, now tell me the object of your suspicion." ”

Zhang Gazi looked up at Li Guolou and said suspiciously: "Chief Li, how do you know that I have a suspicion?" ”

Li Guolou smiled and said, "You have been following me, don't you just want to tell me your guess?" ”

Zhang Gazi glared at Li Guolou and sighed: "Chief Li, you are like a roundworm in my stomach, if you are my father, I would not dare to lie." ”

Li Guolou said a lie: "It's good that my son looks as cute as you." ”

Li Guolou gave Zhang Gazi twenty Tongzhi brothers, and the child's twenty copper coins are already a big number, and after listening to Li Guolou's words of patting the horse, Zhang Gazi already has the murderous aura of dying as a confidant.

Zhang Gazi pointed to a house in front of him with his small hand and said: "Chief Li, that family is a foreigner, named Jin Fengyu, who never works in the fields, and can still have money to pay taxes and silver, and their whole family is like human traffickers." ”

Li Guolou looked at the tiled house in front of him, and had a guess in his heart, this kind of family must come from the wrong way, and the Jianghu people were born, so they should be retired here. The name "Jin Fengyu" must be fake, and the household registration is also fake. In your hands? Maybe there's a bloody case. But since Jin Fengyu washed his hands in a golden basin, he went to turn over other people's old accounts, which did not conform to the rules of the rivers and lakes, and he would offend the officials here. Local officials have already received benefits and obtained fake household registration information for "Jin Fengyu", and he is not guilty of offending a large number of local forces.

Li Guolou nodded and said, "Well, Zhang Gazi, you are quite good at looking at people, and what other families do you think are suspicious." ”

Zhang Gazi was a little fluttery, and smiled: "Hmm! There are several. The house where you saw two big black dogs in the yard in the morning was not a good person. Yellow bastard, we all call that person Huang Badan, he is the lackey of Huang Bing, very fierce and fierce, Huang Baba, seeing you low eyebrows, usually the most unpleasant thing in the village, and likes to take advantage of little girls, or the leader of the militia team. The bad things that the yellow bastard did in the village can't be wiped clean with ten pieces of butt paper. ”

Li Guolou remembered the appearance of that person, his face was full of meat, and when he smiled at him, the muscles on his face were shaking stiffly, and he almost scratched him out of the list of suspects, what is the name of this bastard, Li Guolou hurriedly looked through the household registration booklet. Oh! It's called "Huang Juewu", Li Guolou wrote down a note again.

Li Guolou nodded with satisfaction and said, "Zhang Gazi, it's good, go on, and think about who else in your village is suspicious." ”

Zhang Gazi began to talk endlessly, expressing all the depression suppressed in his heart, as long as he reprimanded his family, he said bad things about others. Some people even get close to the courtyard wall and scold their children angrily, as if their children were thieves. There are also people who believe in cults, secretly kowtow to the little wooden people, and recite incantations, which were also exposed by Zhang Gazi. There are five families who meet at night a few days a month, probably because of the spies of the Twist Army, but unfortunately there are people on guard at the door of the house, so he can't hear what the people in the house are saying.

Li Guolou opened his mouth wide to listen to Zhang Gazi's story, which surprised him, a small village has so many secrets, people who spread cults, weirdos, spies of the Twisted Army, hackers in the rivers and lakes, everything happened outside the imperial city, what kind of people did the Qing Empire raise? Could it be that the missing little girl became a priest of the cult? If it was a gang crime, how could he investigate? The evidence has long been wiped out. If Huang Bing came to the last paragraph in the evening, he would have to add a few more suspects on hand, Li Guolou's face became painful, but he still took notes hard.
