Listening to what the elders said, it turned out that the people ignored them for this reason, and I really don't know how this county order got into this position.

Fortunately, the county order was also arrested, and now the people don't have to be afraid of him, and naturally they are much better to them, which is a big change in attitude.

The county commander and Hong Qiang are still in prison, but the money must still be somewhere, and the money cannot be embezzled privately, but can only be handed over to the imperial court, as long as the money is found, you can return to the capital.

Chen Xiuying took his subordinates and Ruan Linlang to the county mansion, and ordered a search, the mansion said that it was not big, it was not small, but in such a poor place as Hong County, there was such a mansion that was already considered a rich and noble person.

Ruan Linlang asked all the subordinates to gather in the front yard, and after looking for most of the day, they didn't find the money, long before that, the county commander and Hong Qiang wanted to escape, they must have hidden the money somewhere else.

I don't know where the money is? The county magistrate and Hong Qiang will not tell them either.

Ruan Linlang glanced at the people in the front courtyard and rubbed his chin, "You are all from the county government?" ”

"Everyone who works in the prefectural government is here." Someone answered.

"Chen Xiuying, the county government can't find it, it must have been hidden somewhere else."

He nodded in agreement.

Ruan Linlang: "This group of people wanders around the county magistrate's mansion every day, and if the county magistrate moves things to other places, they must know something." ”

Chen Xiuying raised his head and glanced at the cowering crowd, thinking that they were all people from Hong County, and he also felt that what Ruan Linlang said was very reasonable.

"Tell me everything you know." His voice was cold, with a hint of seriousness.

Everyone couldn't help but tremble when they heard this, they were just a subordinate who could know what was going on in the master's house.

"Your Excellency, you're exalting us too much, we're just miscellaneous and don't know anything."

"Yes, please let us go."

These people suddenly knelt down and kowtowed as they spoke, Ruan Linlang knew that they were afraid of being affected by these things, and it was estimated that they would not be able to ask anything.

"Hurry up, we won't do anything to you, as long as you provide useful information, we will be rewarded." Ruan Linlang and Guan Xiao stepped forward to help them up.

But they said with a look of embarrassment. "We don't really know anything."

It's a question and three don't know.

I can only go home.

Just when they were worried, a person suddenly came outside and said that he had something to find Lord Ruan, and everyone raised their spirits.

"Tell him to come in." Ruan Qingchen waved his hand and immediately said.

The one who walked in was the subordinate of the county magistrate's mansion, Ruan Linlang and Chen Xiuying both recognized it, a young man in coarse cloth clothes, and his body was quite burly.

"Ladies and gentlemen." He knelt directly on the ground.

Ruan Qingchen walked down and hurriedly helped him up, and said softly. "What's the matter with you?"

Chen Xiuying: "It's a subordinate of the county government." ”

"Yes, I recognize it." Ruan Linlang raised her eyebrows.

"The small one is from the county magistrate's office, and today the two adults came to the county magistrate's mansion to ask what movement they saw, I don't know if what I heard that night counts as a motive."

He frowned, seemed a little nervous and scared, and looked like an honest man at a glance.

Ruan Qingchen: "Tell me what the movement is?" ”

"I was on duty that night, and it was as if I heard the prefectural magistrate and his son on the promenade saying that they would put those things on some mountain." He scratched his head and couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Ruan Linlang glanced at Ruan Qingchen, what mountain? What mountains can there be in Hong County?

"Do you want to think about what mountains there are in Hong County?"

"What mountain?" He muttered, as if thinking, patted his head and said, "It's Alexandria!" Yes, it's Alexandria, Alexandra is extremely dangerous, few people dare to go up, they might put that thing on Alexandria. ”

"Since you all know about Alexandria, why do you have to go up and put things there." Chen Xiuying asked.

"It's because Lishan is dangerous, and others are not easy to find." The subordinate said very seriously.

"What's the sinister law? Tell me about it. Ruan Linlang looked at him.

"We only dare to wander at the foot of the mountain, we don't dare to go up the mountain at all, it is said that there are many wild beasts on it, and as we walk, we may see some wolves, bears, etc., and the mountain road is also extremely difficult to walk."

It is said that Lishan is dangerous, and the county order has to put things on the mountain at the risk of death, is it to prevent others from going up to find it?

Isn't he afraid that his own people won't come back?

When they sent the next person away, they didn't forget to give him some silver taels, which can be regarded as a good clue.

"The goal now is to go to Alexandria, we just need to go to Alexandra and find out the things."

Ruan Linlang is quite right, so what if the thing in their mouth is not money, or if someone deceives them.

Ruan Qingchen: "If you want to go up the mountain, you still have to ask the locals about the situation." ”

Chen Xiuying: "I can't be 100% sure that something is on Lishan. ”

"yes, we're going to have to confirm it." Ruan Linlang rolled her neck and laughed. "To be honest, I haven't been up the mountain for a long time."

Hearing this, Ruan Qingchen's face suddenly darkened, and there was a little doting and anger in his eyes. "You are not allowed to go, I will go."

Alexandra is so dangerous, how can she be allowed to go?

"No, you can't go, you're the oldest person here and it's inconvenient, how can you go up the mountain? If you really encounter a beast, everyone can't run away, who will care about you? Ruan Linlang immediately retorted.

Ruan Qingchen frowned, the only people who are most suitable to go up the mountain here are Chen Xiuying and his subordinates, but this matter is originally for them to deal with, and this person will not be happy to go up the mountain.

Chen Xiuying: "I'll just go." ”

Ruan Linlang looked at him and said in his heart: You are naturally going to go, if you don't go, I'm afraid no one will dare to go up.

She bit her lower lip, "I think Chen Xiuying is right, but after all, this matter is something we have to deal with ourselves, Dad, you are not in good health, so let me go." ”

In the final analysis, Ruan Linlang still wants to go to Lishan. knew that Ruan Qingchen was unwilling to agree.

"Chen Xiuying, he will definitely protect me if he is so powerful, Dad, don't worry, I will be fine."

said that Ruan Linlang kept giving Chen Xiuying a look, but in fact, Chen Xiuying didn't want to take her there, and the girl's family didn't want him to protect her. So he pretended not to see it, and didn't look away.

Ruan Linlang snorted coldly in her heart alone, she didn't want her to go, she was going to go. She had always wanted to find out about it.

"Oh, Dad, Chen Xiuying didn't speak, just let go."

Ruan Qingchen raised his eyes and looked at Chen Xiuying, who didn't care, and didn't know what he thought in his heart, and looked at such a naughty daughter, and finally agreed.

It's a pity that this body is not suitable for climbing the mountain now, otherwise Ruan Linlang will not be allowed to go.
