At noon on the same day, Deng Zhen and Cao Baihu left Lanxi with their troops and went north to return to Beijing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Yu Shaobai followed Wu Chun and sent him to the junction of Lanxi and Pujiang.

"Dad, everyone is far away, let's go back too." Wu Zichu said out loud.

Wu Chun looked at the team that was going away, and sighed in his heart, he was busy all day, and in the end, he didn't get anything in his mind.

"Yu Shaobai, what did Deng Zhen tell you just now?"

Yu Shaobai smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that one day, if you go to the capital, remember to come to him, he invited me to drink." This is what Deng Zhen said, but half of Yu Shaobai didn't, Deng Zhen hoped that Yu Shaobai would keep a secret for him and not tell outsiders about his abduction. If only he had said this earlier, now he had told Wu Zichu.

"Shaobai, the carriage is coming, let's get in the car, it's too cold outside." Wu Zichu saw the carriage on the official road and waved at Yu Shaobai, who followed him into the carriage.

Wu Chun looked at the back of the young man, and sighed again in his heart: "Yu Shaobai...... The old man can't see through you more and more......"

……

Yu Shaobai rode into the county seat in a carriage, and when he returned home, Zhan Xing stepped forward and asked, "Childe, are you back."

"Well, how about I let you do it?"

"Rest assured, you're all done. By now, Wu Chun should have gotten the news. ”

Hearing this, Yu Shaobai nodded slightly and looked in the direction of the county office, "Father-in-law, I have prepared a big gift for you." ”

Lanxi County Yanei.

Wu Chun had just gotten out of the carriage when he saw Wang Zhutou running over.

"Wang Zhutou, what are you in a hurry about?"

Wang Zhutou wiped the sweat on the top of his head, and arched his hand and said: "Qiyu County Zun, just now when the yacha was searching for fellow thieves in the forest, he found the corpses of a group of black-clothed people, presumably those thieves."

Oh?

Hearing this, Wu Chun's face was overjoyed. I really want to come to something. He was still worried about the thieves and accomplices in Lanxi just now, and last night the matter was so big, he had to tell the court, and the court would definitely let him catch the thieves. I didn't expect this group of guys to die, what a blessing.

"Quick! Take the official with you! ”

The king jumped into the carriage and hurried towards the city gate with a whip.

The carriage soon came to a forest path, and the yacha cordoned off the surroundings. Wu Chun followed Wang Zhutou to the reeds not far away, where more than 20 corpses were lying on the ground.

"Hmm~" Looking at the dead person, Wu Chun almost vomited, these people turned blue as if they had been poisoned.

"What's the matter?"

"Lord Prefectural."

"Have you seen all these corpses?"

The old man arched his hand and said, "Every corpse has been examined, and there are knife wounds, sword wounds, and wounds left by bows and arrows. But they were all poisoned, and I think these weapons were fed poison, and the time of death should have been a moment last night. ”

The hour of the child...... At that time, it happened to be the time when Deng Zhen was taken captive, and it seemed that these dead bodies might really be those thieves.

"County Zun, these people are a little strange in their deaths, officers and soldiers kill people, but they never quench poison on weapons,"

Wu Chun nodded slightly, Deng Zhen was abducted last night, the officers and soldiers in the restaurant were all drugged, the yacha were all sleeping at home, and the officers and soldiers in the post house didn't know, so they didn't come, so who killed these thieves?

"Was it the Liangxiang Inspection Division that killed it?"

Wang Zhutou said: "The inspection department was not transferred last night."

Oh? This is really strange, the court officers and soldiers of the entire Lanxi County did not make a move, but this group of thieves died in the reeds, who did it?

"Lord County, what should we do with these people?"

Wu Chun came back to his senses, looked at those corpses and couldn't help but smile, he couldn't help but think too much. Isn't it okay to be able to make a difference? It doesn't matter who killed him.

"The county government has a meritorious service in killing the thief, and the county order rewards you with a penny."

Hearing this, Wang Zhutou was stunned for a moment, and then comprehended. "We are just acting on orders, and if we can catch these thieves, they are all led by adults."

Although Wang Zhutou's words were strange, Wu Chun was quite satisfied, waved his hand and said: "Okay, take them back and parade through the streets, so that the people of Lanxi will know that the yamen has caught the thief."

"The little one understands."

Wu Chun immediately got into the carriage, was in a much better mood, and asked the groom to drive back to the city.

Half an hour later, the yacha took the corpses into the city through the south gate, and the people gathered around the streets to watch the bustle, pointing at the cart.

A familiar figure walked out of the crowd and entered Yu's house, where Yu Shaobai was sitting in the room chatting with Ruyu.

"Childe, those dead bodies have already entered the city."

Yu Shaobai nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Does Wu Chun take the credit on himself?"

"Yes, now the people are praising him. I saw that he was full of smiles, and he was in a good mood! ”

"Caught this group of thieves, even if it is a dead person, it is enough to add a touch of color to Wu Chun's political achievements, and it is strange that he is not happy."

Zhan Xing smiled: "These colors are not all given to him by you, Childe."

"Alas, what's so good about being a county order, if it weren't for the gentleman's appointment that Wu Chun and I had for a year, I wouldn't have been too lazy to use so much scheming to seek an official position, and the life of officialdom would have been difficult, let alone this era."

"Husband, what do you mean by that?" Ruyu asked suspiciously.

Yu Shaobai knew that they couldn't understand, and he couldn't explain it clearly to them, so he had to speak: "It's nothing, now that my official matter is solved, I'll wait for the documents from the court to come down." However, I expect Wu Chun to think about scoring a brace next. ”

"Childe, what do you mean?"

Yu Shaobai smiled: "Wait and see, it's not a few days before the Spring Festival, I'm afraid this guy won't stop."

"Spring Festival?"

Seeing their puzzled looks, Yu Shaobai remembered that he had used the word Spring Festival wrongly, and there was no such word in the Ming Dynasty, and the day of the Spring Festival was called the New Year by them.

"Don't ask me why, it's about to be the New Year now, my mother is now like losing her soul, this is not good, I have to make my mother happy. In this way, the New Year can be regarded as the New Year. ”

Ruyu asked: "But how can I make my mother happy, she has less to talk about now."

"The pain of losing a child will never be forgotten for the rest of my life. We can only say that let my mother be happier, so that she is not lonely or lonely, when people are alone, they will think of the past, and the more they think about it, the more sad they are. ”

"Then I will talk to my escort more in the future and don't let her be lonely." Ruyu said softly.

Yu Shaobai smiled, "Do you remember the drama I rehearsed for you in Hangzhou Mansion?" ”

"Of course I remember, you mean to rehearse a drama for your mother to make her happy?"

Yu Shaobai nodded and said, "That's what I mean." Anyway, I have nothing to do these days, write the script well, and invite the shadow puppet troupe, which will definitely make my mother happy. ”

"Is that still talking about Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian?"

"No, no, no, this is not suitable for the atmosphere of the New Year, nor is it suitable for my mother. Since it is a lively picture, the most lively thing is the havoc in the Heavenly Palace, so I will let the troupe perform a havoc in the Heavenly Palace. After Yu Shaobai said this, he walked into the back room, and Ruyu gave her ink on the side. Although he seems to have forgotten one thing, making a big fuss in the sky is indeed hilarious, but it doesn't necessarily work for women. But he didn't expect this scene to make Yu's mother happy, he just hoped that the atmosphere of the family gathering together would make Yu's mother feel warm.

In the next few days, in addition to stealing Wu Lingrou, Yu Shaobai basically went back and forth between the Yu family and the drama team, he had to do this himself, and he couldn't let Yu's mother know in advance.

And just when Yu Shaobai was busy in order to make Yu's mother happy, Wu Chun was not idle, and the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, he personally took the inspection department of the two townships and the yacha to Qingyang Mountain, five miles east of Pingdu Town, Lanxi County.

This place was originally barren and uninhabited. After the locust plague not long ago, a group of displaced people fell on the grass on the mountain, and built a cottage, Wu Chun had just handed over the county order and government affairs, and he couldn't pull away to exterminate it, and then Deng Zhen came, so it was delayed again.

"Wu County Order, in front of Qingyang Mountain." A middle-aged man who walked in front turned his horse's head and came to Wu Chun's carriage, his name was Wu Hao, and he was the new inspector of the Lingquan Township Inspection Department. It can also be seen from his surname that this guy was promoted by Wu Chun because he was from Wu Chun's own family.

Wu Chun sat in the carriage, vomited from the rugged mountain road, poked his head out of the curtain of the car, and looked at the mountain peak not far away, "This is Qingyang Mountain?" It's arrived. ”

He got out of the carriage, and by this time the procession had stopped. Wang Zhutou and Zheng Qianjun, the inspector of the Longquan Township Inspection Division, also came to the carriage.

"Prefectural Honor~"

Wu Chun looked at the young man in front of him, dressed in coarse clothes, and asked, "Wu Inspector, who is this?"

"This is the right-hand man of the lowly position. I ordered him to disguise himself as a homeless person and infiltrate the cottage to find out the news. ”

Oh?

Wu Chun had never suppressed bandits, and he didn't know anything about these things, so he said with a smile: "Wu Patrol is witty, the ancients said: know yourself and know yourself, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." What do you know in the cottage? ”

"Go back to the county. The villain stayed in the cottage for a few days, and I found out all the places inside. There is only one entrance and exit in front of the cottage, and there are two people sentry at night. The number of those copycat thieves is only more than 40 people, some of them are men who used to farm in the village, and some are thieves in the streets and alleys. ”

Hearing this, Wu Chun suddenly felt much more relieved, and his voice couldn't help but be much louder. "Yes, now that you know their details, this official doesn't want to attack head-on to avoid causing casualties to the government, what are your plans?" (To be continued.) )
