Just after noon, Xiangzi returned to Fuyuan, he did not enter the city, but went directly to the hut in the back ditch.

The hut remained silent, and when the door was opened, it was so quiet that only the chirping of crickets was inside. The ice pot is cold, and there is no trace of vitality.

Shoko glanced blankly at the room, and finally stopped at the red bloodstain.

His heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, and a faint pain gradually permeated his body and mind. He couldn't help but lean down and put his hands on the vivid bloodstain for a long time.

Xiangzi is a person who studies Buddhism in the end, and he is more relieved of the grievances and grievances in the world. As the saying goes: gathering and dispersing are all fateful, and clutching is always about feelings.

Shuzhen's sudden departure, it is false to say that he left no trace in his heart, but he knows that the affairs of the world are not controllable by human forces. To a large extent, it is subject to the mandate of heaven. That is, the so-called "everything is predetermined, and nothing is up to anyone." ”

People can only do their best and obey the destiny of heaven. You won't feel excessive pain and disappointment when things don't go your way.

For this reason, not only did he not blame Shuzhen, but he added some respect to her. He felt that Shuzhen loved him, but she endured the pain of separation and resolutely left. There is only one reason, and that is her steadfastness and persistence in the faith she pursues.

In her heart, Shoko sincerely wishes her to become the most recognized parishioner of Allah, and may Allah bless her.

Xiangzi let go of Shuzhen's worries and devoted herself to her work.

The housing prepared for him by the yamen used to be only used for lunch breaks, and as long as there was nothing important at night, he would not live here. Shuzhen left, and he simply moved over completely. Now Coke has broken the Liu brothers, not only can they pester Xiangzi to guide martial arts sooner or later, but also have one more gossip at night.

Just after lunch, Principal Kong rushed into the yamen in a rage, saying that his cousin had been robbed by bandits in Shuixigou, and the old lady was so anxious that she was angry.

As soon as County Magistrate Liu heard that it was a big deal, he hurriedly got up and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. Explain what happened. ”

Principal Kong gasped for a while, and said with a depressed expression: "My cousin is studying in Dihua, the school is on vacation, and I am catching up with my classmates in the Provincial Taxation Bureau. Na Cheng thought, when the car arrived at the mouth of Shuixigou, he let a group of bandits rob him. They didn't want money, they didn't want their lives, so they kidnapped their cousin alone. ”

County Magistrate Liu asked eagerly, "Senator Wang?" ”

Principal Kong said angrily: "You are scolding my mother at my house." ”

County Magistrate Liu hurriedly waved to Xiangzi, and Principal Chongkong said, "Go!" Go to your house. ”

As soon as County Magistrate Liu entered the door, he was reprimanded by Senator Wang: "How are you the county magistrate?" The bandits in the territory dared to rob the car of the provincial office in broad daylight. It's too daring, it's just lawless! ”

County Magistrate Liu hurriedly bowed down with a smile on his face and said: "It's the subordinates who have no way to govern, which makes the senators frightened, and the subordinates are guilty." ”

Senator Wang waved his hand irritably and said, "If you are frightened and not frightened, quickly find a way to save people!" Someone hijacked me from my car, how can I explain to the Kong family? ”

County Magistrate Liu immediately said: "Please rest assured, I will organize the police force and set off overnight to find the whereabouts of the kidnappers." A satisfactory explanation will be given to the senate. ”

As he spoke, he hurried towards the door.

Senator Wang pulled his throat and shouted behind him: "If you are Miss Kong, don't follow your hair." You, the county magistrate, are gone! ”

County Magistrate Liu is as anxious as a lost dog. When he returned to the county office, before his butt was next to the chair, he yelled at Liu Chao to find Director Zhang to come to discuss the matter.

Director Zhang, it seems that he has had a few drinks at noon. His face was slightly red, and he walked in the door sleepily, yawning and muttering, "What's the matter, I don't let people sleep at noon." ”

County Magistrate Liu yelled at him angrily: "Sleep! Sleep! Sleep! You know in one day, eat and sleep! Shuixigou went out of the bandits, robbed the car of the Provincial Office, and kidnapped Miss Kongjia. ”

Director Zhang seemed to have suddenly sobered up. He let out an "ah" in surprise, his little eyes rolled, he scratched the back of his head suspiciously, and muttered: "I haven't heard of it, are there bandits in Shuixigou?" ”

County Magistrate Liu waved his hand impatiently and said, "It's useless to talk about anything now, let's quickly mobilize the police and equip it." Rush to Shuixigou with all your might, and it is important to suppress bandits and save people. ”

Director Zhang, with a cowardly face, muttered: "Can you just rely on those few broken guns in the police station to instigate people?" ”

County Magistrate Liu glanced at him in disgust, and shouted angrily: "Even if you gnaw your teeth, you have to save people!" ”

Seeing that County Magistrate Liu was already in a hurry, Xiangzi stepped forward and said, "Otherwise." Director Zhang, you deploy the police force first and set off before dark. Liu Chao and I can go first, and when we find out the number of bandits, we will meet at the mouth of the ditch, and then make the next step. ”

County Magistrate Liu seemed to calm down, and hurriedly said, "This is the best." This operation, under the full command of Xiangzi and the close cooperation of Director Zhang, let's go and prepare! ”

Er Liu has been with Xiangzi these days, not only has his fist and foot kung fu made great progress, but even the short gun has been practiced well. When I heard that I was going to fight bandits and save people with Xiangzi, I was naturally gearing up and full of joy.

Shoko tied the stone bag and straddled the twenty-round shell gun, and was about to step on the road. But when he saw Principal Kong, he hurried over.

He leaned into Xiangzi's ear and whispered, "The situation has changed a little, my old lady, I want to invite you to come over." ”

Xiangzi Chong Er Liu said, "You go to the south gate first and wait for me." ”

With that, he and Principal Kong rode to Kong's house.

Mrs. Kong had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and when she saw Xiangzi dismounting, she hurriedly greeted her and said, "Oh, I heard Qingwen often say that your martial arts character is first-class, and the Kong family has a problem, I'm afraid only you can solve it." ”

Shoko smiled kindly and said, "Please tell me something, as long as I can do it, I will do my best." ”

The old lady sighed lightly and said, "The bandits just came to say that they want a ransom of three thousand, and only one person is allowed to go into the ditch to ransom people." If you want to call the police, tear up the ticket immediately.

I think it's better to exchange the ransom for insurance, but we also have to prevent bandits. Therefore, the burden of ransom in the ditch is none other than you. I hope you can be generous, and the Kong family will be grateful. ”

Xiangzi smiled happily and said, "As long as there is a letter from the bandits, it will be easy to do." You prepare the money first, and I will leave after talking to County Magistrate Liu. ”

Mrs. Kong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, smiled kindly, and said, "The money is ready." ”

As he spoke, Kong Qingwen handed the money bag to Xiangzi.

Xiangzi groaned slightly, and said, "You let someone drive a carriage to follow me, and the young lady can sit after the redemption." ”

The old lady smiled and said, "It's still thoughtful." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly beckoned someone to set up a car.

Xiangzi turned around and walked towards the door, turned his head before going out and said, "Let the car go first, don't wait for me." ”

After listening to Xiangzi's story, County Magistrate Liu also breathed a sigh of relief.

He stroked Shoko's shoulder with a concerned expression, and said earnestly, "It's all up to you this time." This matter is very important, not only the matter of Miss Kong, but also the province. If you don't get it right, I, the county magistrate, will have to do it. ”

Xiangzi smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, county magistrate, I will do my best." ”

County Magistrate Liu kept sending Xiangzi outside the yamen, looking at his figure in the distance, and then walked back to the county yamen with trepidation.
