"How is this possible?" County Magistrate Zhang subconsciously let out an exclamation, and raised his hand to grab the letter in Lu Qingyi's hand.

Lu Qingyi's fingers shook slightly, and he directly took the letter back into his arms: "How is this impossible?" Could it be that County Magistrate Zhang knows something that no one knows? ”

"Don't be joking, my lord, I just said it casually." A slightly embarrassed expression appeared on County Magistrate Zhang's face, as if it was really his own problem just now.

But from the incident just now, Lu Qingyi could already be sure that this matter had nothing to do with him. Now is not the time to be investigated, Lu Qingyi can only nod: "I thought that County Magistrate Zhang knew something?" Looks like I'm thinking too much. ”

"Aren't you two going out of town? Let's go. County Magistrate Zhang crossed the topic and rushed out of the city with two people.

As early as when Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi entered this county seat, they came in from the side close to the Chu State, but the place where the bandits were was on the other side.

The jurisdiction of the city gate here was much looser than that of the side where they came in, and a few people went out without even interrogating. Maybe County Magistrate Zhang's face is too big.

But if you think about it carefully, how can a military figure stationed outside have anything to do with County Magistrate Zhang.

By the time a few people arrived at the place, it was already noon, and after Lu Qingyi arrived, he found that bandits were rampant here for no reason.

The trees on both sides are very tall, and when you look at them from a distance, you can only see the shadows of the trees, but you can't see the human figures. In this kind of place, unless you are very familiar with the terrain, I am afraid that you will get lost when you come in. Moreover, under the cover of this tree terrain, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"There are bandits on these mountain bags here, but they are all relatively small bandit dens. We have a big bandit den here, but it's on the hill inside. County Magistrate Zhang looked at the mountain in front of him and said slowly.

Lu Qingyi nodded, they came today to see the terrain, and if they really want to do it, they must lead the army. Seeing the current situation, it is not easy to exterminate the bandits.

Fortunately, according to their previous inference, what the second prince was able to mobilize was not a big bandit den.

"That's all for today." Lu Qingyi said slowly.

County Magistrate Zhang was a little puzzled: "Don't you need to continue looking?" We finally got here. ”

"Does County Magistrate Zhang want to go up and send him to death? It's said that this is a bandit's den, and just a few of us still want to destroy people? Shen Xi laughed lightly, this sentence was sarcastic, and it seemed to be a greeting.

Shen Xi's words have reached this point, what more can County Magistrate Zhang say? smiled awkwardly: "Then let's go back." ”

The three of them just walked around the city, and after they went back, County Magistrate Zhang left under the pretext of having something. Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi wandered around the county endlessly.

That kind of thing happened last night, but today there is no trace of it during the day, and people on the street come and go, as if they don't know what happened yesterday.

Lu Qingyi felt strange in his heart, the people have always been afraid of the dark forces, how could they be so quiet?

Walking into a restaurant, Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi did not choose the upstairs box, but sat in the hall in the middle. It's a good place to get people here.

Shen Xi cautiously looked back and forth, and then came to Lu Qingyi's side: "Can we really hear the news when we sit here?" "Reading.com

"That kind of thing happened, and the reaction of the people was really weird. Even if we can't hear anything useful, we can get a glimpse of it. Lu Qingyi said slowly.

It's time to eat, and it's not bustling with people. Lu Qingyi's table itself can seat four people, and this is not a shopkeeper who walked over with a man.

The man was dressed in ordinary clothes, and as soon as he sat down, he opened his mouth to Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi: "The two of you shouldn't be locals." ”

Lu Qingyi looked at himself, after yesterday's incident, all the clothes on his body had been changed, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Oh? Where did you see this, little brother? ”

A slight smile appeared on the little brother's face, and he only heard him speak: "We are located on the border here, and almost everyone has a knife on them, but you don't have them. ”

Shen Xi smiled lightly: "It should be more than that." ”

"The girl is smart, although this is a very key judgment point, but it is not the only way to judge." The little brother had an unfathomable smile on his face.

"Your expressions are not what we have here." The little brother said slowly.

Hearing him say this, Lu Qingyi smiled and didn't say anything more. Living in one place for a long time will naturally be tainted with the specific characteristics of that place. And he himself is a guest from afar, if it is the same, it is really strange.

This little brother is talkative at first glance, and it is more convenient to ask from him than to eavesdrop on the news from somewhere else.

I only heard Lu Qingyi ask out loud: "Does the little brother know what happened last night?" ”

"What happened last night? I don't know what happened last night, do I? Seeing the mysterious expression on Lu Qingyi's face, the little brother naturally became a little more cautious.

Lu Qingyi blinked, deliberately creating a nervous mood: "Last night, bandits came in and killed a lot of people in the restaurant. ”

"It can't be." As soon as Lu Qingyi finished speaking, the little brother interrupted him directly, and he waved his hand: "No wonder you are from other places, it is impossible for those bandits to kill people when they come." ”

"Why is that?" Shen Xi was a little puzzled when he heard this.

The little brother squinted his eyes and said slowly: "Those bandits are not outlaws, but they can't survive at home, so they become bandits." And they killed people for money, and they were to go to jail. ”

"But yesterday, I saw with my own eyes the people who died all over the place." Lu Qingyi had a vague guess in his heart, but it was not clear enough.

The little brother didn't respond anymore, just waved his hand: "Anyway, you know, those bandits can't kill people, and they won't harm people." At most, they will ask you for money, and they will only look for rich people. ”

Lu Qingyi nodded, the situation was a little flustered yesterday, and he didn't pay too much attention to it. Now that I think about it, it seems that there is something wrong with the death of those people yesterday.

There was a lot of worry about eating a meal, and the guess in Lu Qingyi's heart gradually became clear, and Shen Xi didn't say much when he looked like this. After eating, she asked, "Did you guess something?" ”

"There's probably a bit of speculation." Lu Qingyi pursed his mouth slightly: "If I'm not mistaken, yesterday's series of events should be the bureau set up by County Magistrate Zhang." ”
