Chapter 142: Cleaning up

The guard swallowed hard, if this matter continues to be entangled, it will not be beneficial to the prefect or the adult.

In order to divert his attention, he pointed to the man kneeling on the ground and said, "This person dares to sneak into the Li Mansion late at night to steal, and this matter must not be stopped." I'll go and report to the prefect and take him into custody!" ”

Li Wenyuan stretched out his big hand, his face serious.

"This matter must be reported to the prefect, this person's theft is a trivial matter, if you have other ideas, wouldn't it be harmful to the people in the city!"

The people around were still pointing at the man on the ground, but when they heard Li Wenyuan's words at this time, there was still something unclear. This man is not from the Central Plains, who knows what thoughts he has in his heart when he comes here!

When the guard heard this, he was also shocked in his heart, and at this moment he didn't care about anything else, so he hurried to the prefect and hurriedly went to find the prefect.

At that time, the prefect was in his study, frowning at the man in black kneeling on the ground in front of him.

"What do you say, there's a guy missing?"

The man in black knelt on the ground, and he was the secret guard of the prefect.

He lowered his head and replied: "Yes, he didn't show up last night, and when he arrived, his subordinates didn't see him, and he didn't find him when he went out to look for it." ”

The prefect's brow furrowed even deeper.

"I haven't come back yet, but what's the trouble? If someone else finds out who he is, that's bad! The prefect couldn't help but sigh, he never thought that such a thing would happen at this critical juncture.

The evening was fine, and the errands were not obtrusive. But now in broad daylight, where can he find someone? If something really happened to him, he couldn't get out of his place now. He has also seen the strength of those people.

The prefect didn't know what to do for a while, and he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

The man in black was about to say something when there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then there was a knock on the door of the study.

The prefect was startled by the knock on the door, and he shouted, "Who is it?" ”

The voice of the guard came from outside: "My lord, it's a subordinate, there is an accident outside the gate, many people are gathered around, Master Li is also here, I need you to go in person." ”

The prefect's brows are all wrinkled, a bunch of people? Li Wenyuan, that guy is also there? His instincts told him that this was not a good thing.

The guards couldn't hear the prefect's response for a long time, and called tentatively: "My lord? ”

The prefect came back to his senses and glanced at the man in black, who nodded, dodged, and disappeared into the study.

The prefect coughed and said, "Come in." ”

The guard pushed open the door to the study, sweating profusely and repeating it again.

"What the hell is going on?" The prefect looked at the guards in a hurry, where was the usual calmness.

Could it be that Li Wenyuan sent something strange?

The guard took a breath and said, "Master Li brought a thief over, I hope you can personally come forward to deal with this matter." ”

"Thieves? What thief? For some reason, the prefect's heart suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Go and take a look, it's too lively outside at this time, and my subordinates are afraid that if they delay like this any longer, they will rush in."

When the prefect heard this, he only felt a little incredible. ”

It is difficult for these ordinary people to dare to trespass on the prefect. They must not come in, and if they find that the prefect inside is so extravagantly arranged, then the image of thrift and thrift that he has worked so hard to build up over the years will probably be ruined.

Therefore, the prefect didn't bother to ask too much, and hurriedly followed the guards to the gate.

Outside the door, the people were still scolding the man in black on the ground with righteous indignation, the man on the ground couldn't say anything at this time, his expression was a little wooden, except for a pair of eyes looking at the ground a little distractedly, there was no extra movement.

There were brave civilians who walked over and kicked him, but the man didn't react superfluously.

When the people saw this, they were more confident, and they stood in front of him one after another, and some even spat at him.

In fact, it is not to blame that the people are so angry, after all, this appearance is obvious, not from the Central Plains. Who else could there be around here, except for the race on the border? They used to burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil, and I don't know how many innocent people they have hurt.

If it weren't for the elders who came forward and sent people to suppress it, where would they have a stable life?

But now, in this city. What does it mean that there are people who shouldn't be there? Could it be that their peaceful days are coming to an end?

Although the people didn't say anything on the surface, they have to say that the appearance of this "thief" did make some of them panic.

When the prefect hurriedly walked out, he saw such a scene, many ordinary people in a circle, attacking someone. The man inside was so tightly surrounded that he couldn't even tell who it was.

It was Li Wenyuan, who stood outside the crowd, and saw the prefect at a glance, and he said meaningfully: "Prefect, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed." ”

When the prefect heard this, his mouth twitched.

"Although it is true that I haven't seen Brother Li these days, the letters you have sent over these days have made Lord Ben think of you all the time."

Between the words, there was a hint of mockery.

Li Wenyuan was still smiling, as if he hadn't heard it.

"It is an honor for Li to be remembered by the prefect. Today, Li did not come for this matter, but last night, Li caught a thief, he actually dared to steal to the Li Mansion, if he also treated the prefect like this one day, wouldn't it be upside down? Li considered this layer, and quickly arrested the thief, and arrived here early this morning, counting on the adult to administer justice. ”

When the prefect heard Li Wenyuan say this, he couldn't help but pout in his heart.

It's just a thief, why bother making such a big fuss and getting involved with yourself. But if it is really as he said, even the Li Mansion dares to steal, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not run to the prefect to make trouble in the future. In this case, a thief, what is the difficulty of cleaning up?

If this is the case, this Li Wenyuan no longer writes to himself every day, and he will be happy to be idle. Although the prefect was angry with Li Wenyuan, there were so many people around, the prefect naturally wouldn't say anything.

He only nodded, and said, "Since they have all bullied Brother Li's head, how can Lord Ben sit idly by?" Who is that thief, so daring, he deserves to be punished! ”

When Li Wenyuan heard the prefect's words, he was immediately relieved.

As soon as the adult's words came out, Li was deeply moved, maybe Li really misunderstood the adult, how could such an adult who thinks about the people make such a dirty. Dirty. What about the dirty thing? ”

The prefect's brows jumped, why is it a little uncomfortable to listen to this?

But it doesn't hurt him to say that.

"Brother Li can think like this, Lord Ben is also very pleased, after all, Brother Li's daughter was injured, and Lord Ben is also very worried, you are so anxious to go up and find the wrong person, it is understandable, Lord Ben didn't care."

The smile on Li Wenyuan's face remained unchanged.

"The prefect has such a broad mind, but Li can't compare to it in his life, no wonder the adult can come to this day, Li is really admired, the adult is indeed relying on real skills!"

Prefect: ......

Why is this even more awkward? But what the problem is, he can't say.

The prefect decided not to dwell too much on this topic, and it was he who was uncomfortable to continue, but if the misunderstanding between the two of them was resolved, it would be a good thing.

Although he hates Li Wenyuan very much, no matter what, Li Wenyuan is also the richest man, and it is always a good thing to have one more friend and one less enemy.

Therefore, the prefect said in a deep voice, "Where is the thief?" Since Brother Li has come in person, Lord Ben will naturally sell Brother Li a face. Today, Master Ben will teach him a good lesson! ”

The two of them have been talking for so long, and the people around have long noticed the appearance of the prefect, and when they heard him ask, everyone automatically got out of the way and said to the prefect: "My lord, the thief is here!" ”

The prefect looked at the indignant expressions on the faces of the common people, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This Li Wenyuan is really not an ordinary person, but just a few words have resonated with everyone. If he could, he didn't want to be an enemy with Li Wenyuan. If it really happens in the future, this Li Wenyuan can also help him.

Thinking of this, the prefect secretly made a decision in his heart.

In that case, why didn't he take the opportunity to take advantage of this incident to win over Li Wenyuan? This Li Wenyuan is also a character, there is no need for him to make a mess of losing both.

Thinking of this, Lord Ben strode over, and said majestically as he walked: "Lord Ben wants to see which thief is so bold that he even dares to break into Brother Li's territory, and today Lord Ben will definitely teach Brother Li a hard lesson!" Give Brother Li an explanation! ”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding people couldn't help but applaud the prefect.

"It's worthy of being a prefect, broad-minded, and so kind-hearted, we misunderstood adults before!"

"It's not, maybe it's all a misunderstanding, now as long as I can teach this thief a good lesson, it's fine!"

"Your Excellency is truly unusual, no wonder it's our Adult!"

The bursts of praise around made the prefect's heart, which had been hurt for many days, finally comforted, and even a little fluttering.

"Ben-sama wants to see, which bastard it is-"

The prefect took a closer look, and happened to meet the godless green eyes of the black-clothed man on the ground, and his words suddenly choked in his mouth and stopped abruptly.
