Chapter 58: The Case
More than a dozen?
Li Mingyun lowered his bright eyes and was silent.
And he spent more money, more than a thousand taels of silver.
It was thanks to that Zhou Gongzi that she could think of this very quickly.
has a solid family background, has a lot of silver tickets in his hand, and doesn't like her...... There is only one person.
"Qin Ruxin."
She spat out three words in a low voice.
When Chunyu heard this, he clenched his fists in anger.
"The maid has long felt that she is not a good person! Miss, let's go to the Qin Mansion to find her and ask for clarification! She huffed.
Li Mingyun waved his hand: "This is just my guess, don't be impulsive." ”
Chunyu suddenly fell silent and looked at her with blinking eyes.
"Xue Guard." Li Mingyun raised his head, "In the past two days, you have gone to the Qin Mansion to investigate, and if there is anything strange, you will report it immediately." ”
Xue Yan responded, and was just about to leave, but was stopped by Li Mingyun again.
"You just said that there is still a group of people who want to kill that Zhou Gongzi, right?"
"Well, a few people saw that they couldn't deal with him, so they fled."
Li Mingyun said "oh" and waved at him: "You go." ”
As soon as Xue Yan left, Chunyu saw that his young lady was still thinking, and he was a little puzzled.
"Miss, is there anything wrong with Childe Zhou?"
"A little." Li Mingyun looked at her and said, "He has high martial arts, even those killers can't beat him, but he said that his money was robbed by mountain bandits." Mountain bandits, are they so powerful? ”
As for why he was hunted down, that's his business, and he doesn't need to delve too deep.
Chunyu had a good impression of Zhou Gongzi, who saved her young lady, and was busy speaking for him: "It may be that there are a lot of mountain bandits, and they can't be beaten...... Ran. ”
It seems to make sense.
Li Mingyun nodded, that Zhou Gongzi looked like this kind of person who could not be beaten and ran away.
Of course, she didn't think he was cowardly, on the contrary, it was the way of a smart person.
You can't go toe-to-toe with these outlaws, because the killer may not care much about his own life, but people like them can't.
If she died, her father and mother would be sad, she would not dare to die, and she could not die.
So this time, she was really lucky.
"Sister! Sister! Li Mingwei shouted at her not far away, "I learned this trick, come and take a look!" ”
The crisp sound swept through the empty martial arts practice ground and spread to every corner.
The boy jumped up excitedly, his words full of pride and joy.
Little children, so nice and carefree.
Li Mingyun smiled and walked over.
……
……
"Auntie, do you mean that your granddaughter Hui'er went to Gwangju City half a month ago, and there is no news?"
Li Zhihuai asked, glancing at the old woman's house.
Old tables and chairs, dusty walls, and a pungent smell of fat powder blowing in the air.
This is a poor family, there are only three people in the family, the old man is the son of an old woman, and he also has a daughter named Hui'er.
The big man worked hard outside, and Hui'er was considerate of her father, so she learned the craft of making fat powder from the aunt next door, and sometimes went to Gwangju City to do business to earn a little money.
Half a month ago, this Hui'er took a large bag of fat powder to Gwangju City early in the morning, but she hasn't come back yet.
"Yes, sir." The old woman wiped her tears, "They all said that Hui'er ran away with the family, but I know that my granddaughter will never say goodbye without saying goodbye like this, she must have had an accident......"
Li Zhihuai was silent for a moment and asked, "Why don't you report to the official?" If someone in the family is missing, the government will send someone to investigate. ”
If you disappear without reason and the time is too long, you can report it to the authorities.
This is what the law of Dasheng does.
The big man next to him was indignant: "Where do they care about these things, last time Uncle Niu reported that his daughter was missing, they didn't dare to let him go, and said that he would look for it himself." ”
"Anyone else missing?" Li Zhihuai wrung his eyebrows, looking very serious, he looked to the side and lowered his hand to try to hide his pawn, "Does the county government really care about this?" ”
Although the tone was gentle, it was a little sharp, and the pawn was sweating behind his back, and explained in a panic: "Master Li, what they say can't be trusted, if something really happens, how dare we not investigate?" ”
"Nadongjie Niu Da later said that his daughter was not missing, but married to another place......
"It's not a good thing you guys did!" The big man walked up to the pawn with a hideous face and scolded, "You suspect that his daughter ran away with someone else, causing others to point fingers at the Niu family, where can they still tell the truth!" ”
Spit Xingzi spat on the pawn's face.
"That's the case." Li Zhihuai stood up with his hands in his hands and looked at him coldly, "It seems that he is too idle on weekdays, and he has forgotten what is serious." ”
"You go back and tell Master Zhang, Master Pei has already said that there are no idlers in the yamen, if you feel that there is nothing to do, it is better to resign as soon as possible!"
The pawn wiped the beads of sweat from his head, and then immediately slipped away and rushed back to report the incident.
"Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely send someone to investigate this matter immediately, and you can wait at home with peace of mind."
Li Zhihuai said, and ordered two guards to stay here, one to inquire about the situation, the other to send a quick letter to Gwangju, and he took Alin out to Lu Wu's ancestral house.
The old woman and the big man hurriedly thanked him, tears glistening in his eyes.
……
……
"My lord! My lord! Oh no! ”
The pawn hurriedly ran back to the county office, and he didn't even have time to catch his breath.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Gonglian sat leisurely on a recliner and drank tea.
The fragrant smell of tea fills the room.
"There are two Diao people to sue, Master Li ......"
"Alright." Zhang Gonglian waved his hand, "I already know about this." ”
He put the teacup down and straightened out his clothes and stood up.
"Frizzy, I thought something was wrong!"
The pawn lowered his head and looked scornful.
After a while, he asked again, "My lord, what should we do now?" If the above blames it, I'm afraid it's not good......"
"Hmm." Zhang Gonglian nodded, "It's time to find someone, it's been missing for so long, and it won't work if you don't look for it." This kind of trivial matter should not have bothered Master Li, people came to Zixian County to investigate the case, not to help us deal with these small problems. ”
A good official who is considerate and considerate of the people is probably like this.
He smiled.
The pawn lowered his gaze and retreated.
Peng Ao happened to walk in from outside, and when he saw this, he hurriedly asked, "My lord, is there something going on on Master Li's side?" Why are you coming back now? ”
"What could happen to him?" Zhang Gonglian sat down and continued to drink tea slowly, "Someone is missing, and we want to send someone to find it." ”
The disappearance of people is not a big deal for Peng Ao at this time, he didn't pay attention to it, but now this matter makes him a little irritable.
"Your Excellen......cy," he asked tentatively, "what do you think of my affair with Lu Wu...... How will the Gwangju government decide? ”
"How?" Zhang Gonglian glanced at him, "You can come how you want, is it possible that you have done a fake?" ”
He smiled faintly and said: "It is clearly written in black and white, now that Lu Laishan is dead, and the house is mortgaged to you, what are you afraid of?" ”
Peng Ao bowed his body again and again.
Seeing his frightened look, Zhang Gonglian smiled again.
"Aren't you afraid that Lu Lai Mountain will come to you at night? Looking at your righteous appearance, I thought you weren't afraid of anything. ”
"Peng Ao, you still haven't learned the way of being an official. In the face of the people from above, no matter who it is, even if it is a small soldier, it can't be such an attitude, maybe one day, he will say bad things about you in front of the superiors, then you won't have a chance to be promoted? ”
"Your Excellency has a point." Peng Ao hurriedly surrendered his hand, "Aren't I taking the lead, I'm afraid that something will go wrong." ”
"Who knew that Lu Wu would dare to flee to Gwangju overnight, otherwise, how could there be anything now!"
His eyes flashed with resentment, and he gritted his teeth and scolded Lu Wu several times for causing him here.
"He should have been eradicated and dealt with in the first place! That Diao Min, and his Lao Tzu, are not good things! If you give me the house, it's just stubborn, and you will kill yourself! ”
"Now I'm still being investigated, and I'm worried about ...... all day long"
"That's it!" Zhang Gonglian interrupted him, "What's the use of just scolding people!" It's happened, and you should be thinking about how to fix it now, not how it was before! ”
Peng Ao's face was red and he was speechless.
"Stand down." Zhang Gong even glanced at him, "All of them are impatient, purely embarrassing the county government!" ”
Peng Ao didn't dare to argue, and hurriedly withdrew from the house like Fang Cai's pawn.
