() Early in the morning, it was a little hot and humid in Chenji County after the rain.

I saw that outside the gate of the county seat, I looked at it from a distance, and there was a team of well-equipped figures that were particularly eye-catching, and when I got closer, I saw that it was the imperial soldiers sent by the emperor to protect Gu Ziyuan, but they didn't encounter a killer, so they came to Chenji County faster than Gu Ziyuan.

I don't know how long they have been standing, but when they came here, they couldn't wait for Gu Ziyuan, and they couldn't find them, so they thought that they might be in trouble, so they could only turn back and look for them.

It is their task to protect Gu Ziyuan, if they don't see Gu Ziyuan arrive in Chenji County, what awaits them is the emperor's punishment and anger, so they won't care about Gu Ziyuan's life or death.

The other side.

Because they couldn't distinguish the mountain road at night, Bai Rong and Xia Changqing walked to the steep place, so they had to pause and wait until daytime, and then the two of them rode off to the nearby county seat.

Under the condition that Xia Changqing repeatedly assured Granny Pan that she was safe, Bai Rong decided to find Gu Ziyuan to come back first, and then the two of them would find a way to go back to Panjia County to help Granny Pan.

In order to let Gu Ziyuan know where she was, the first way she thought of was to ask the county people to help find someone nearby, now that Gu Ziyuan's life and death are uncertain, Bai Rong is also anxious, if Gu Ziyuan just fled elsewhere and learned that someone in the county was looking for him, he should also come over to check the situation.

Otherwise, she will look for it alone, I am afraid that it will be a needle in a haystack, and it will delay the critical time.

She took Xia Changqing to the outside of the county magistrate's mansion to find the county magistrate, after all, only he had the ability to call on all the county citizens to help, but they were a step late, and the county magistrate had already moved to the public court to prepare for the trial.

Bai Rong told Xia Changqing on the road that he and Gu Ziyuan were chased on the road, and now Gu Ziyuan's whereabouts are unknown, if you want to find him, with help is the fastest way?

The two hurried over again, gave money to the official to report, and saw the county order here.

When the county magistrate learned of her request, he didn't care much about these things, "Why does this official want to help you?" Don't get in the way, I'm going to adjudicate the case. ”

Bai Rong blocked his way, "It's better to do this, I'll help the adult judge this case, if the judgment is good, how about the adult help me once?" ”

The county magistrate wanted to refuse Bai Rong's ridiculous words and deeds, but he thought that it was boring anyway, so it was better to watch the play, so he agreed to Bai Rong, but also proposed that if Bai Rong was not judged well, he would ask for it

Pay 1,000 taels of silver to let her go.

is really a corrupt official who eats meat and does not spit out bones.

When it came to the court, it turned out to be a simple case of stealing, no wonder this official was so lazy and didn't want to judge the case at all, probably facing this kind of boring case every day.

I saw the county commander sit down on the seat, waved his hand to signal Bai Rong to start quickly, and yawned. And a peasant household under the hall was holding the right hand of a weak scholar, holding on to it, and the scholar was still holding the evidence of the crime in his hand, a golden ring.

Bai Rong glanced at them and asked the farmer, "How did he steal your things, can you tell me?" ”

The peasant was stunned for a moment, and then quickly testified: "As I was walking down the street, a hand came into my bag, and I caught it, and when the others saw him, they saw him holding my things in his hand." ”

The scholar didn't dare to raise his head, and his speech was a little hesitant, "Yes, he grabbed my hand, I didn't do anything, and this thing is not what I want to take, but he also stuffed it." ”

When everyone saw this, they all felt that the scholar was empty-hearted.

The farmer scolded: "Am I sick, and I still have to stuff you with such expensive things?" It's clear that you've exposed yourself, and now you still want to quibble and get away with it! ”

The scholar was so pale that he couldn't speak.

Bai Rong continued to ask, "Then how much do you think this ring is worth?" ”

The farmer did not hesitate and said: "This is handed down by my ancestors, at least a few hundred taels of silver." ”

"Do you dare to test it? If it's really that valuable, then I'm willing to help him lose money to you. Bai Rong raised her chin, and sure enough, the farmer's face changed, her eyes began to dodge, and she asked, "Don't you dare, why?" ”

She knew how inferior this ring was, how could it be worth it?

The peasants, in turn, began to quibble: "You, you are a gang, you deliberately joined forces to deal with me!" ”

"Now it's a quest for justice, and no one is messing around with you." Bai Rong Zhengse said, "Everyone sees that this scholar's left hand is a cocoon, and his right hand is as white as a girl, which means that he is used to using his left hand, even if he wants to steal things, then why does he not use his left hand but use his right hand, isn't this a fool's behavior?" ”

To put it bluntly, he just looked good at bullying and was framed by the farmer.

The scholar finally held back his words: "I, I didn't steal the east

West, I'm left-handed, people don't believe it, I can show it. ”

After getting the consent of the county order, the scholar wrote on the spot, only to see his left hand holding the pen neatly, and wielding ink like a divine help, but it took a long time to write a majestic couplet.

If you have such a flexible left hand, why steal with your right hand? It is indeed an incomprehensible reason, so what the farmers say is even more suspicious.

Seeing that everyone concluded that it was the conspiracy of the farmers, the farmers were hindered by many people watching, and ran away after apologizing.

The case was settled quickly, and the county residents were very curious when they saw such a powerful girl for the first time, and the case was judged so quickly.

"Much, thank you, girl." The scholar was grateful to Bai Rong for his help.

"You're welcome, don't fall for it next time." Bai Rong said, looked at the county order in the public court, and said lightly, "My lord, what you promised me can be fulfilled, right?" ”

The county ordered the officials to leave the rest of the place without onlookers.

In front of everyone's eyes, Bai Rong closed the case, and the county magistrate was very surprised, although he was not convinced, he could only order with a straight face: "Come on, help her post a notice and call the county people to help find someone." ”

I didn't expect this little girl to be so smart, so what, whether he helped to find it or not, it's not useless.

The county magistrate then snorted coldly, "But the official said well, the county people here will not help you in vain, if you don't have money to reward, no one will pay attention to you." ”

"As long as I find someone, I will be rewarded, and I will never joke." Bai Rong then took out a few silver tickets from her sleeve and put them in front of the table of the county order, pretending to be respectful, "Thank you for helping me this time." ”

When the county commander saw Qian's eyes open, the expression on his face was different in an instant, and he nodded with a smile, "Where is it, if there is anything next time, just come to this official, and the official will definitely help Miss again." ”

Although Bai Rong didn't like it here, fortunately, the county order did what it said, and soon posted a notice to encourage the county citizens to find someone.

The county residents didn't care about these things, but after seeing the rich bounty, they also took action, and for a while, every day, some county residents could be seen going out to the neighborhood to look for traces.

Bai Rong and Xia Changqing did not stop, and followed those county residents every day to find Gu Ziyuan's whereabouts.
