Chapter Ninety-Seven: Return to the County Office

"Oh, ahh

Zong Jiyuan then remembered that he had told Grandpa Xiao and Miss Ji Xiaoyun that it must be the two ancestors and grandsons, who couldn't return to that small village when they saw that they were in the morning, so they rushed to this Liaodong County Ya to deliver the letter, and couldn't help but feel a little remorseful and self-reproachful.

"It's because I'm late to come back, so the adults and brothers are worried......

"Ji Yuan! It's really you, you're back! ”

As he was talking, he saw Diao Saburo running out quickly, and as soon as he saw Zong Jiyuan, he immediately grabbed her hands firmly, looking up and down,

"I'll just say, you're going to be fine! What do you think? You're not hurt, are you?! ”

"Little brother is fine, let everyone bother."

Seeing that everyone was so moved, Zong Jiyuan's heart was naturally hot.

Seeing that she was really fine, Diao Saburo immediately grabbed Zong Jiyuan's wrist without saying anything, and walked towards the main hall.

"Let's go meet the adults."

"Oh, okay,"

In his heart, he was also thinking about reporting safety to Lord He in person, but remembering that there was a Wang Yu behind him, Zong Jiyuan turned around and said,

"Brother Wang Yu also come, when I reply to the adults later, if there is anything missing, you can also help remind me."

"Well, okay then."

Wang Yu smiled slightly, and followed the two of them into the main hall together.

Originally, He Ruichang had been staying in the second hall, and since he learned that Zong Jiyuan had gone to investigate the case in person again, his heart had always been hanging. Who knew that early this morning, Grandpa Xiao and Ji Xiaoyun sent Zong Jiyuan and Wang Yu's horses back, and roughly told the story, which made people feel that the two of them were in terrible trouble.

Seeing that the adults were in a hurry like this, Diao Saburo calmed down, although he was also worried, but he was still trying his best to persuade him, and at the same time he was thinking in his heart about how to respond to the little master.

But now that he heard that Zong Jiyuan came back safe and sound, Diao Saburo rushed to the gate to greet him, and He Ruichang also rushed to the front of the hall from the second hall.

Under the bright light, seeing the anxiety on the face of the adult, a sense of apology rose again in Zong Jiyuan's heart, and he hurriedly walked a few steps and stepped forward to salute,

"My subordinates have seen adults, and I have worried them......"

"Oh, alright, alright,"

He Ruichang was also busy supporting her and said,

"It's okay if you're okay, it's okay if you're okay, come to the second hall and rest."

"Okay."

Zong Jiyuan got up and supported He Ruichang in turn, and then everyone returned to the second hall together, and each sat down, Diao Saburo was busy pouring a cup of tea for everyone, and then sat down nearby.

It was only at this time that Lord He's face softened, and after listening to what she had seen and heard in Pingliang Village, she said,

"Ji Yuan, don't do this again in the future, it's really too risky."

"My lord, in fact, this time it's just a thrill,"

Zong Jiyuan tried his best to put his expression very relaxed, and said with a smile,

"Brother Wang Yu and I only went to investigate as civilians, and basically didn't encounter anything too dangerous, and we also successfully explored the remnants of those thieves in Dongshangou."

"Higashiyamarai ......"

Hearing this, Master He couldn't help but ponder for a moment, and then asked,

"Are those people really behind these cases in recent years? They still have power? ”

"yes,"

Zong Jiyuan nodded and said,

"It is indeed the descendants of the gang of thieves back then, in the past ten years, they have not only existed, but also developed and expanded, even exceeding the previous scale."

"Yes......"

When Lord He heard this, his face became serious again,

"In that case, Ji Yuan, you even dare to go to them to investigate in person? Don't you say it's dangerous? ”

"My lord, it's okay, they don't know that I'm from the government,"

Zong Jiyuan smiled again and comforted,

"And with Brother Wang Yu from the side, didn't we come back safely. My lord, my subordinates not only found the location of those thieves, but also found out the route to their lair. ”

"Oh,"

Lord He listened, pondered for a while, glanced at Wang Yu first, nodded and said,

"Thank you Wang Yishi for your help, this official is here to thank you."

"Your Excellency is so polite,"

Wang Yu had been listening to their conversation, and when he saw He Ruichang talking to him, he said,

"However, my lord, if those thieves in the Dongshan Valley are not eradicated, they can only endanger the people of Liaodong even more. Moreover, judging from the situation observed by the grass people, the scale of their current development is so large, they will definitely not be satisfied with just doing some things like stealing chickens and dogs, and will definitely bring greater disasters to Liaodong County, Liaoyang Prefecture, and Fengtianfu. ”

"Oh yes,"

Master He listened to his words very carefully, and at the same time nodded his head lightly and asked,

"Wang Yishi, how many people can they have now?"

"Your Excellency,"

Speaking of this topic, Zong Jiyuan felt that it was better to speak by himself, and he would save some trouble such as explanations when reporting in the future, so he took over the conversation and said,

"According to the results of what Gu's subordinates heard in their lair, there are about two hundred people guarding the ground, and it seems that there are even larger ones, hidden in the shadows, according to this, there are seven or eight hundred people."

"Huh?"

Master He was taken aback and said,

"In this way, the number of thieves is at least twice as large as that of those thieves, and it seems that our county alone cannot eradicate them. At that time, it was because of the joint action with Anping County and Liaoyang Prefecture, as well as the fact that there were also civil righteous people, which played a great role. ”

Speaking of this, He Ruichang couldn't help but glance at Zong Jiyuan, and his eyes were very soft and loving.

Of course, Zong Jiyuan understood the meaning contained in this look, it was gratitude to his parents, but at the request of his parents, it was inconvenient to make this matter public, so it was not good for He Da to say it in public.

Naturally, Zong Jiyuan didn't have any sense of superiority because of this incident, but just thought about how to eradicate those murderous thieves and avenge all the people who were persecuted by them and ruined. After pondering for a while, he said,

"Then, it seems that the only way to do this is to cooperate with neighboring counties and their state capitals, just like last time."

"It's easier said than done,"

Listening to her proposal, He Ruichang actually smiled bitterly,

"For no reason, who would want to take such a risk."

"Oh......"

In fact, Zong Jiyuan also understands the "mystery" of this, but since it is not easy to do, he can only think of other ways, so he looks a little stunned on his beautiful face.
