When Ding Hao walked to County Lieutenant Zhao's room, County Lieutenant Zhao's face in the room was even more frightened than just now.

His current psychology is like that of a drowning man, who is reluctant to give up even if he grabs a straw. That Qin Gongzi was in a hurry to leave, and in the suspicion of Zhao County's "Zheng Ren lost his axe", he immediately regarded him as the most suspicious person.

Unexpectedly, he brought that Qin Gongzi into the room and interrogated him with both soft and hard, not only did he not ask for anything useful, but he was scolded by the Qin Gongzi with his head and face, which made the county lieutenant Zhao nervous, the so-called Qin Gongzi was indeed not dressed like the young master of the Qin family, but he was arrogant......

If other people don't mention it, let's just talk about the Bazhou Ding family, which is also a wealthy gentry with a face in the local area, how dare he dare under his official authority? But this Qin Yiyun is arrogant and unscrupulous, could it be that he is really a member of the Qin family in Taiyuan? With these thoughts, County Lieutenant Zhao didn't dare to torture him, but only asked someone to take him down to take care of him, and he was still sulking in the room.

At this moment, Lin Jiming in Qingshui Town stood at the door and nodded and said, "Master County Lieutenant, Bazhou Ding Hao asks to see you." ”

"Ding Hao? It's someone from the Ding family again? ”

"Yes, Lord County Lieutenant."

Zhao Jie thought for a while, slowly sat down and said, "Call him in." ”

Ding Hao walked into the room, bowed to Zhao Jie generously, and said solemnly: "Xiaomin Ding Hao, I have seen the county lieutenant." ”

Zhao Jie squinted his eyes slightly, looked up and down, and saw that the person in front of him was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, dressed as a subordinate, with delicate eyebrows, and his demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no ordinary people's apprehension when they saw the officials, and he didn't feel a little puzzled in his heart: "I just saw the girl dressed as a man, I still have some wonders, how could the Ding family let a woman show up." Now it seems that this Ding Hao is the real principal......"

At that time, many small people never left their homes for ten miles from birth to death, and the biggest official they had ever seen, that is, the town's Baozheng, was occasionally blessed to see officials wearing official uniforms. A county lord is as big as the emperor in their eyes. Although the Ding family is a landlord and gentry, it is impossible for an ordinary servant to be so calm when he sees him, so as soon as he saw Ding Hao's bearing, the county lieutenant Zhao, who read a lot of people, judged him to be the young master of the Ding family.

How did he know that this Ding Hao had seen many descendants of the prefects, prefectures, and court officials, not to mention the emperor, there were many foreign emperors who could be named, and they were naturally much more relaxed psychologically, and it was impossible to be as sincere and fearful as an ordinary ordinary citizen who had no knowledge.

County Lieutenant Zhao was preconceived, so he didn't interrogate his true identity, and said directly: "Ding Hao, if you are here for the food team, then you don't need to mention it, the official seal is stolen, and it is not only the future of the official that is lost, but also the dignity of the imperial court." The Ding family is a lot of people, and the fish and dragons are mixed, but do you know that there are no small people among them? Until this case is solved, this official will not let him go. ”

Ding Hao smiled and said: "The adults misunderstood, the little people are here for the theft of the official seal." ”

County Lieutenant Zhao's eyes froze, and he sharpened sharply, and said, "How can you say this?" ”

Ding Hao said: "Xiaomin stayed in this restaurant last night, and the adults were eating in the dining hall at that time, so they must have seen it." Xiaomin stayed here for one night and found some strange things, and he didn't think there was anything strange at first, but as soon as the news of the theft of the adult's official seal came out, the more he thought about it, the more suspicious it became. Xiaomin doesn't know how to mention the prison, so I want to say it and ask the adults to refer to it. The county lieutenant is as discerning as a torch, and he must be able to see some clues from it......"

Ding Hao said slowly, but County Lieutenant Zhao's breath became more and more heavy, Ding Hao didn't finish speaking, he had already stepped in front of Ding Hao, and said impatiently: "Ding Gongzi, reporting illegality is exactly the duty of goodness, and this official is very encouraged." You have found something strange, come to this official one by one! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the restaurant, Ding Yuluo and several stewards looked at each other for a long time, and Li Shouyin said sneeringly: "Dumb, that kid went to see the county lieutenant ......, what is he going to do?" ”

Speaking of which, the deacons, the chief foreman, and the tenant head of the Ding Mansion, the highest-ranking officials they usually come into contact with are the township officials and the servant tax collectors, who are all officials with a lot of power, but they are not officials. Like the county lieutenant, an official with rank in the court, they really don't have a chance to see them when they are so big.

In particular, the county lieutenant is in charge of the administration of justice in a county, has the great power to mobilize the people to arrest thieves and thieves, and has the great power to seconded officers and soldiers to suppress bandits. When these deacons who looked like old people in the countryside saw the county lieutenant Zhao with a gloomy face, their legs and stomachs trembled suddenly, and they couldn't dodge, they really couldn't figure out which tendon was wrong with the dumb who had always been wooden.

Ding Yuluo knew that Xue Liang had always been good friends with Ding Hao, so he turned his suspicious gaze to him, Xue Liang smiled innocently, scratched the back of his head and said, "Dumb...... Since the high fever has subsided, it seems like a different person, and he looks more stupid than before, and I am quite worried about him. ”

He saw that everyone's faces were a little strange, and he knew that he had said the wrong thing, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he had to pick up a bun and try his best to block his big mouth.

The people in the entire restaurant waited quietly, and after a while, Lin Jiming in Qingshui Town came out from behind, and the shopkeeper Qiu hurriedly went up to inquire, and learned that there was no official seal, and everyone's faces suddenly fell. After a while, a group of people from behind walked out with a shuttle gun, everyone subconsciously stood up, and when they saw the people who came out later, they couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock, especially the people of the Ding family, everyone was stunned.

Just now with a gloomy face, as if everyone owed him hundreds of dollars and hadn't paid it back, at this time, there was a rare smile on his dry face, and what made people drop their jaws was that he actually held Ding Hao's hand, and was as affectionate as two brothers, and walked in from the backyard shoulder to shoulder.

The two of them entered the restaurant and stood still, Ding Hao's eyes glanced to the side, Zhao County Lieutenant understood, his eyes immediately turned to the person, smiled yin, only waved his hand slightly, and the eight sharp shuttle guns brushed the ground and stabbed out, startling the peach blossom eyes that were watching the excitement with flaws, and hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Belch, be careful, you ...... What are you doing here? ”

"What for?" County Lieutenant Zhao paced over slowly, staring at him with a pair of gloomy eyes, and a sinister smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Say, where is the official's seal?" ”

There was a commotion in the hall, and the peach-eyed young man was even more stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he shouted at the sky: "My lord, the student is wronged, really wronged." How can the loss of the official seal of the adult be blamed on the student. The student stays in Bozhou, lives in Bozhou, the family background is innocent, the father operates oil and rice medicinal materials in Bozhou, and opens more than a dozen shops. ”

County Lieutenant Zhao's tone was even more cold: "Oh? In this case, this Spring Festival, why are you not at home to serve your parents, and you are going to this Qingshui Town alone? ”

Bisu said: "The students traveled to the world, and they were originally thinking about returning to the Spring Festival, but they didn't want to get caught in the cold on the road, and they would be treated for a long time, so they delayed the trip." Isn't this a starry night and rushing back to his hometown? ”

County Lieutenant Zhao sneered: "Clever words, do you want to deceive the official?" Come, search him for me. ”

Immediately pounced on the two people, in front of the county lieutenant Zhao searched the body of the peach blossom eye, the wall was full of grievances, standing proud, the two people were searched from head to foot, even the hair did not let go, but still did not find his official seal, the original look of the county lieutenant Zhao suddenly became a little anxious.

The people in the restaurant looked at it coldly, and they didn't believe in the judgment of County Lieutenant Zhao, the young man in front of him had clear eyebrows and beautiful manners, and he really didn't look like a rooster and dog thief. And seeing that he is dressed very luxuriously, except for the sheepskin robe, the brocade robe and jade belt inside, and the jade ornament around his waist, he really looks like the son of a big family.

Ding Hao watched coldly, staring at Bisu's every move, and even the slight changes in his eyes did not notice anything unusual, and his heart was a little shaken: "Did you really see it wrong?" ”

Seeing that there was nothing to be found on Bisu's body, County Lieutenant Zhao couldn't hold his breath anymore, and asked to the side, "Has his room been searched?" ”

Someone on the side replied: "Back to the adult, the villain has searched carefully, and he has never shown a place." ”

County Lieutenant Zhao frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Shopkeeper Qiu, has this person ever deposited his belongings on the cabinet?" ”

Shopkeeper Qiu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, but ...... When I stayed overnight last night, the belongings were deposited here with Xiao Lao'er, and it didn't seem to be ......."

"Less nonsense, take a look."

"Yes, yes", the shopkeeper hurriedly took the key to open the box, the box is made of elm tower, the wood grain is tangled, it is not easy to split, and it is not easy to saw, it is very strong, and the outside of the box is also wrapped in a very thick layer of iron, this box alone weighs more than 100 pounds, and it is firmly fixed under the counter with nails.

He used the key to open the three locks inside and outside, took out the package stored in the wall, and brought it to Zhao County, who tore off the burden and poured a table with a sigh, gold leaves, silver bills, jade and silver rings, and two pieces of crimson silk.

County Lieutenant Zhao opened the silk and took a look, Ding Hao also craned his neck to look, and before he could understand what was going on, Ding Yuluo had already taken a sip, and turned his head slightly dizzy.

It turned out that the two pieces of crimson silk were actually two women's personal things, a belly wiped with mandarin ducks playing in the water, and a bandeau with lotus flowers out of the water, all of which were women's close-fitting clothes. There was a burst of laughter in the restaurant, and Bi Su's face was red, and he said angrily: "Lord County Lieutenant, although you are an official, you can't humiliate students like this, Sven sweeps the floor, really Sven sweeps the floor!" ”

County Lieutenant Zhao scolded: "Bad luck! As if an evil thing had touched his hands, he quickly threw away the two women's dirty clothes, and when he turned his head to look at Ding Hao, his face was a little unhappy: "Ding Gongzi......" His voice was also a little depressed.

Liu Shiyi and the others were inexplicable when they heard it, when did this dumb become a son, and it was called out of the mouth of Zhao County Lieutenant, it was a dignified court official.

Ding Hao has been staring at Bisu's demeanor and has never found any flaws, but when Zhao County Lieutenant dropped the woman's profane clothes, he finally found a trace of suspicion, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, and a smile appeared on his face.

After all, Zhao County Lieutenant is an old official in the officialdom, but because he lost his own future, this is a big mess, in fact, he is still extremely shrewd, and when he turned his head and saw the smile on Ding Hao's face, he was stunned at first, and his expression immediately eased.

Ding Hao's gaze slowly moved down from the face of the embarrassed Bi Su, and fell on the plate of steamed buns in front of him that had never been eaten, and said with a faint smile: "My lord, this wall boy cares about that plate of steamed buns very much, he doesn't care about the gold and silver rolling on the table, as if he is afraid that the adult will touch the plate of steamed buns to the ground." ”

Zhao County Lieutenant heard the sound of the strings and knew the meaning of elegance, and leaned in and grabbed the plate of buns in front of Bisu. Bisu's face changed greatly, he shouted, raised his arms, and two silver bills smashed into the face door of Zhao County Lieutenant, and then a diagonal willow bent down, bowed down and changed steps, taking advantage of Zhao County Lieutenant to pounce forward, those shuttle guns avoided to reveal the gap, and a forward roll turned away like a spirit mouse, the neatness and flexibility of that skill is really breathtaking

"Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk ......" Bi Su rolled to the door, his hands on the ground, his hips raised, a posture quite similar to a modern 100-meter sprint just came out, and a dense array of feather arrows were shot in front of him, the tail of the arrow was buzzing and trembling, the nearest arrow was only half a foot away from the tip of his finger, if he jumped out a little faster, he would become a porcupine at this moment.

Bisu was so frightened that he fell to the ground as soon as his knees went limp, and the four pike spears behind his back immediately pressed against his back. Before entering the restaurant, Lieutenant Zhao had already instructed Li Zheng to make preparations, he was originally a thief, if a thief escaped from under his nose when he was prepared, wouldn't it be a joke.

Lieutenant Zhao didn't reply, swept aside the table full of gold and silver and women's intimate clothes, took the plate of buns, swept it slightly, and picked up the big vegetable bun that had been bitten and carefully broke it. With a "horn click", a copper seal fell on the table, and County Lieutenant Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up.

The seal is square, two centimeters long, tile-shaped buttons, cast in brass. The right side of the copper seal is engraved with the casting time, the left side is engraved with the casting mechanism, and the top of the seal is also engraved with the word "Shang" to indicate the up and down direction of the seal. The printing surface is engraved in Yin.

In the Song system, the official seal of the state and county officials above the level is called the seal, and the official seal of the county bureaucrats is called the official seal of the lower level. The official seals at all levels were uniformly cast by the Great Song Dynasty Wensi Academy, and the new officials took office to issue seals, and the old officials stepped down and handed over the seals. This newly cast Linqing County Lieutenant Seal is the one stolen by Zhao County Lieutenant: "Linqing Lieutenant Record".;
