Qi Hongkuo lowered his voice slightly, and said mysteriously: "When we were digging a well yesterday, we inadvertently dug up something amazing, so we asked you about the case of the Chai family's annihilation." ”

Hearing this, the green tendons on Ge Pu's forehead couldn't help jumping, but he still had to force his composure and asked, "I don't know what amazing things the adults dug up there?" How do you get in touch with the Chai family? ”

Qi Hongkuo saw that Ge Pu was pretending to be confused, and he was so angry that he was about to lose his anger.

He secretly squeezed his hands in his sleeves, and said with anger in his anger: "What we dug up by the well is piles of gold!" Those gold utensils weigh dozens of pounds, and there are all kinds of dishes, chopsticks, cups and saucers, which is simply eye-opening! ”

When Qi Hongkuo said this, Ge Pu's eyes showed a fierce light that was not obvious, but he, like Qi Hongkuo, was trying his best to control his emotions.

Qi Hongkuo saw that Ge Pu's eyes had changed a little, and said in his heart that he might not be able to stand the stimulation of the gold artifacts falling into their hands.

Qi Hongkuo continued: "The bottom of those gold objects is printed with the words 'Chai Fu Zhenbao'. The Chai Mansion that can afford to use these many gold tools must be a wealthy and noble family, so we inquired about the Chai family by the way. Originally, we needed silver for disaster relief, and this silver came in time! ”

Qi Hongkuo's last sentence is almost killing Ge Pu!

He never thought that those gold artifacts would fall into the hands of the Qincha.

Ge Pu secretly gritted his teeth, still acting.

"Huh? There was so much gold in that place! In this way, these gold objects should be Chaifu's. I really didn't expect that gang of bandits to keep such a hand! ”

Qi Hongkuo asked again: "Lord Ge, since someone dares to stop us from digging a well in your name, they must be afraid that we will find these gold artifacts, right?" Do you really not know anything about these gold objects? ”

Ge Pu shook his head with an embarrassed expression, "Xia Guan is really wronged, I really don't know anything!" ”

Qi Hongkuo couldn't stand him like this anymore, and suddenly changed his words, and said angrily: "Originally, we thought it was a good thing to find the gold artifacts, but we were afraid that we didn't dig up all the gold artifacts in a hurry, so we sent some officers and soldiers to guard there." But we never thought that when we passed by there this morning, more than a dozen officers and soldiers guarding there were actually killed! ”

Speaking of this, Qi Hongkuo's emotions could no longer be suppressed, and he suddenly stood up excitedly.

"Actually, how can such a thing happen?"

Ge Pu also stood up.

He saw that Qi Hongkuo was about to get angry, and was about to say something to coax Qi Hongkuo, Wan Lin also stood up.

Wan Lin changed the subject: "We have caught a thief guarding there last night, he is one of the people who pretended to be the villagers to make trouble. We suspect that it was his accomplices who killed the officers and soldiers! ”

"What?" Ge Pu first asked in shock, and then couldn't wait to ask, "Then did he confess anything?" ”

Wan Lin shook his head regretfully, "I didn't expect that man's mouth to be so hard, we all tortured and interrogated him, and he still refused to say anything!" ”

"Ahh This is tantamount to complicity! Lord Wan, Lord Qi, you must let that person speak, otherwise this official will be implicated innocently for no reason. ”

Wan Lin said in embarrassment: "Although the killing of officers and soldiers and other complicity in rebellion, but the top priority now is to alleviate the drought, this incident happened suddenly, we just interrogated and interrogated first, if it is too difficult to pry his mouth open, let's take him first and then continue the interrogation." ”

Hearing Wan Lin's words, an extremely complicated look instantly flashed across Ge Pu's face.

He seemed to be delighted, suspicious, and puzzled.

The wonderful look on his face was seen by Wan Lin.

Those officers and soldiers were killed by Xiong Ersheng and others.

Xiong Ersheng and the others knew that these officers and soldiers were not easy to deal with, so they resorted to a trick and released poison darts when they were defenseless.

They didn't find Zhuang Liu, and guessed that Zhuang Liu should have been arrested.

But although Xiong Ersheng had the courage to kill officers and soldiers, and they also knew that hidden arrows hurt people, they did not have the courage to go to the county government to rob the prison.

After Xiong Ersheng brought people back to report to Ge Pu, Ge Pu was also very entangled in Zhuang Liu's arrest.

These dog-legged men under him are not skilled enough to enter and leave the county government at will, if they have to let Xiong Ersheng and others rob the prison, not only will they be completely exposed to the risk of him, but it is not worth it.

Even if Zhuang Liu confessed, as long as Ge Pu did not admit it, and then took the opportunity to curry favor with Wan Lin and Qi Hongkuo, they might not simply listen to Zhuang Liu's confession.

After Ge Pu quickly thought about it in his heart, the whole person relaxed.

"Since the two adults know it in their hearts, then the lower officials are not afraid that they will frame them."

Ge Pu also peeked at Qi Hongkuo when he spoke, and found that he didn't seem to be so annoyed.

Ge Pu took the opportunity to turn the topic to disaster relief, "By the way, two adults, are we going to start studying the disaster relief plan next?" ”

Wan Lin first said: "Yes, let's get to the point now!" Lord Ge, please take us around the streets, let us have a preliminary understanding of the livelihood of the people in this county. ”

Ge Pu was stunned, "You want to go around the street?" ”

Wan Lin said as a matter of course: "Yes, every time we go to a place, we must first understand the local people's livelihood, isn't shopping the fastest way?" ”

Ge Puxin said that they could go wherever they wanted, anyway, they came to their own territory, and everything was under his control.

"Oh, yes, yes, you're right! However, due to the drought, the streets are far less lively than before. There are also more people begging, and I hope the two adults are prepared! ”

Wan Lin really wanted to glare at him fiercely.

The people of Quanling County are struggling to make a living, but you are ruddy and full of spirit, is it not that you don't care about the life and death of the people?

If he could search Ge Pu's house now, Wan Lin guessed that his house would be full of grain.

"Don't worry, Lord Ge, it's the drought that has displaced many people and made them miserable, and you are powerless in the face of natural disasters. Then let's go, understand the people's situation as soon as possible, and help the people as soon as possible. ”

Wan Lin gave Qi Hongkuo a look before leaving, signaling him to hold back.

Qi Hongkuo nodded slightly and walked out behind him.

When Ge Pu saw that they were all going out, he also hurriedly followed, and ordered the officials to line up to lead the way for Wan Lin and Qi Hongkuo.

When everyone was walking on the street, Wan temporarily asked Ge Pu some questions about people's livelihood from time to time.

Ge Pu replied while thinking in his heart, and hurriedly looked for an opportunity to curry favor with the two Qincha.

"It's a vegetable market over there, right? It's not easy for the vegetable market to open normally now! ”

Wan Lin stopped at the street corner of the vegetable market.

Ge Pu didn't expect Wan Lin to be interested in the vegetable market, which was a common location for Xiong Ersheng and others.

Ge Pu immediately dissuaded Wan Lin and said: "My lord, this vegetable market is not as good as before, no one buys vegetables, and it has become dirty and smelly because of the lack of water and can't be cleaned in time, let's not go in and take a look." ”

Wan Lin didn't respond to him, but looked at Qi Hongkuo and asked, "Lord Qi, what do you mean?" ”

A fly happened to fly towards Qi Hongkuo, he waved his hand to drive away the fly, and grinned a little disgusted, "Why don't we go into the vegetable market?" ”

Wan Lin said in agreement: "Okay, let's go elsewhere to have a look." ”

Ge Pu's tense nerves instantly relaxed again, "Then let's go forward, there is a small restaurant over there, although it is not as good as the big restaurant in the capital, but the food is okay." Let's go there and rest later. ”

Wan Lin nodded shallowly, and everyone continued to walk forward.

After walking for a while, Wan Lin suddenly stopped at the door of a pawnshop.

"The pawnshop should be doing good business now, right? I want to go in and talk to the shopkeeper. ”

Qi Hongkuo also followed closely and said: "What Master Wan said is right, the most profitable shop now is probably the pawnshop." ”

The two of them were about to walk in as they spoke, and Ge Pu's nerves instantly tensed again.

"Two adults, this pawnshop is too small, I'm afraid it's ......"

Before Ge Pu finished speaking, they had already walked into the house.

The pawnshop was indeed a little smaller, and the room was full of five or six people.

The shopkeeper was dozing off, but he didn't hurry when he heard someone coming, but opened his eyes lazily.

Outside the counter, there was also a man who was dozing off in a chair and waking up at this time.

He was dreaming, and when he opened his eyes, he was about to scold the person who disturbed his dream, but he was dumbfounded when he saw Wan Lin and Qi Hongkuo.

Wan Lin and Qi Hongkuo were also stunned, they didn't expect to see him here.

Qi Hongkuo immediately shouted after seeing him clearly: "Someone! Catch this thief! He's the one who pretended to be a villager yesterday to make trouble! ”

It turned out that this man was one of those people, and Qi Hongkuo remembered his face.

Wan Lin also recognized him and couldn't help but glare at him angrily.

The officers and soldiers remembered to avenge their dead comrades, and after listening to Qi Hongkuo's orders, they rushed up and tied the man up in a knot.

"This ...... He ......"

Ge Pu was taken aback by this sudden arrest.

Wan Lin quickly said to him, "He's one of the gang who pretended to be a villager yesterday!" ”

After saying that, Wan Lin didn't ask the man at all, but walked directly to the backyard of the pawnshop.

"Ten thousand adults! Master Wan, what are you doing here? ”

Ge Pu hurriedly wanted to stop him.

Unexpectedly, Wan Lin walked quickly, and walked into a room in the backyard in the blink of an eye.

Qi Hongkuo led people to follow Wanlin closely, and squeezed Ge Pu aside.

Ge Pu suddenly panicked, and was almost so anxious that he caught up with them.

After Wan Lin walked into this room, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I can't imagine that there is such a place to escape?"
