Chapter 125: A Woman of Unknown Origin
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing completed the investigation of the cottage, and by the way, they also released a group of abducted women in the cottage, and asked these women to report the situation in the cottage to the county government of Yanshan County.
After completing all this, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing went home.
On the way back, Xiaoqing was still muttering: "Sister, you and I will simply kill the leader in the cottage and let the Black Wind Village fall into chaos, so that the brother-in-law can easily destroy the Black Wind Village." ”
"I said that we can't use our methods, the official really wants to prove his ability, we have to respect his choice, our duty, just to help him investigate the intelligence, it is best to be helpful to him, if it doesn't help, we can do our best, this is what we should do!" Bai Suzhen looked very knowledgeable and said.
Xiaoqing stuck out her tongue and went home together.
After going back, Bai Suzhen acted as if nothing had happened.
It wasn't until the next morning that Xu Xian woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he felt as if he had fallen asleep, the room was quiet and the sun was shining.
Xu Xian arrived in the courtyard, but saw Bai Suzhen coming over with a wooden support, and there were porridge and side dishes on the wooden support, all of which were prepared for Xu Xian's breakfast, and the steaming porridge looked very warm.
"Madam, ...... you" Xu Xian looked at Bai Suzhen, he felt as if something had been ignored by himself, because he slept too drowsy yesterday, and he slept directly until dawn, and he hadn't understood many things yet.
Bai Suzhen said with a smile: "The official has just gotten up, so I washed up briefly, and the concubine has prepared breakfast for you, and then go to the county government after eating." ”
"Hmm." Xu Xian nodded, hurriedly went to wash, and was about to eat breakfast when he came back, when suddenly Xiaoqing entered the backyard.
Bai Suzhen frowned and said, "Qing'er, is there something?" ”
Xiaoqing glanced at Bai Suzhen, and then said: "Back to the old man and his wife, someone from the county government came outside, saying that he was looking for the old man to have something to do, and something in the yamen." ”
"Alas!" Xu Xian could only put down his chopsticks and sighed lightly, "It seems that this meal is not needed, let's go back to the county government first, and come back if you have time at noon." However, in the past few days, in order to calm the affairs of Heifeng Village, I will probably be very busy, and the lady does not have to wait. ”
"Officials, go quickly, business matters." Bai Suzhen looked very virtuous and personally sent Xu Xian out of the backyard.
Xu Xian arrived at the main gate and saw Huang Chong, Du Yong and others, these people looked as if something big was coming.
Xu Xian asked, "What's the important thing in the yamen?" ”
"My lord, that's the case, early this morning, some women from the Black Wind Village came to the south of the city, saying that there was a chivalrous warrior who rescued them, and there were more than a dozen people, because they didn't bring weapons, plus it was a female stream, so we put the people into the city for the time being, but they were still in the urn city, and we needed to deal with them personally, so we didn't dare to bring people into the city casually, to prevent assassins or Black Wind Village." Huang Chongdao.
Xu Xian glanced at Du Yong, yesterday Xu Xian arranged for Du Yong to guard the Lu family, early in the morning there was a woman from Heifeng Village in the county, Du Yong, as the leader of Du Jiazhai, naturally wanted to go over to check.
"Let's go, let's see!"
Xu Xian didn't ask much, so he took Du Yong, Huang Chong and others to the south of Yanshan County.
When he arrived at the city wall of Yanshan County, he saw that in the small urn city, more than a dozen women were hiding in the corner, looking very scared, as for whether there were fine works and assassins among these women, Xu Xian could not find out from the city wall.
Xu Xianxin said: "No wonder I think something is wrong, I slept too well yesterday, maybe the lady did something secretly, the so-called hero, won't it be the lady herself?" ”
"My lord, are you going to ......," Huang Chong asked.
Xu Xian was about to order the city gate in the urn city to open and welcome these women in, but he saw a carriage coming in the distance, judging from the system of the carriage, it should be the carriage of the Zhu family among the three major families in the city.
When the carriage stopped, an old gentleman who seemed to be an accountkeeper came down from the carriage, forty or fifty years old, with a goatee, and a long robe that was just gray and fluffy, reflecting that he was a Confucian scholar. You can't let anyone in......"
Xu Xian looked at the old account room that walked up to the city and said, "Who are you?" ”
"The contemptible person is from the Zhu family, my lord heard that someone is coming from outside the city, in order for your gambling contract to be successfully completed, these people must not be put into the city, so as not to bring trouble to Yanshan County." The old bookkeeper looked very anxious.
Huang Chong scolded: "What do you want to do, do you need to point out?" ”
The old account room said twice, still a little arrogant, and said: "I heard that it is a person from Heifeng Village, yesterday the adult just said that he would level Heifeng Village within five days, and today someone claims to be a female slave who escaped from Heifeng Village, and adults can also be gullible?" My lord is also for adults, if adults don't appreciate it, then they are enemies of the local squires and families in Yanshan County! ”
This person gave Xu Xian a hat when he came up, which also made Xu Xian realize that some families in Yanshan County should have secret contact with the bandit camp outside the city.
Xu Xianxin said: "The talent has just arrived, and I just got the news here, how could the Zhu family get the news so quickly?" To put it bluntly, there are still people secretly tipping off the news, or these women should be carrying some secrets. ”
"What the official is going to do, I know it in my heart, go back and tell Zhu Dangjia that the official has thanked him for his kindness!" After Xu Xian finished speaking, he waved his hand directly and said, "Open the gate of the urn city and welcome everyone in, but you must send people to check carefully to prevent assassins from being mixed with them!" ”
After speaking, he first went straight down to the city, after Xu Xian came down, but seeing that the dozen or so women had already entered the city, these women were hiding in a corner of the city gate, and when they saw the official army, these women were also very afraid.
"You don't have to worry, this is already the county seat, and no one will be unfavorable to you!" Du Yong stepped forward and said, "Now we will send someone to check on you, if the inspection is correct, we will arrange a place for you to live, you can rest assured, where did you come from, where will we send you back, and you are only temporarily living in Yanshan County." ”
A woman asked from afar, "Is the magistrate here?" ”
Du Yong became nervous, and someone asked the magistrate, that was for a purpose, they were all afraid that the woman was an assassin who came to assassinate Xu Xian.
Xu Xian waved his hand, took a few steps forward, and said, "I am the magistrate, what is the matter with you?" ”
The woman took out something that looked like an official document from her bosom and said, "This is the hero who saved us yesterday and asked us to transfer it to the adult, saying that it is useful for the adult Pingshan thief." ”
