And he also stubbornly adheres to the belief of monogamy, so under this belief, he naturally expresses contempt for polygamy.

Xi Zien thought back and felt that when Li Jicai heard that he had many concubines, how did the disapproving and disgusting gaze make Xi Zien feel uncomfortable.

If a person is always thinking about the bad things of another person, thinking about his shortcomings.

Then the person's unpleasant behavior on weekdays will be infinitely magnified.

Then from the general dislike at the beginning to the annoyance, I will even go to great lengths to figure out where this person is and what is unlikeable.

The well-deed-deed person with a broken mouth will even list him one by one, and then spread it to others, and tell it to others.

Generally speaking, these situations tend to occur in those who are narrow-minded, or who like to listen to gossip, gossip, and have bad minds.

Although Xi Zien has been following Qi Qingchu for a long time, there is still no fundamental change in his nature.

It's not that he targeted Li Jicai, it's just that he put the comfortable life of the capital for no reason, but he had to go to the deep mountains and old forests to find someone.

And the premise of finding someone is still in His Majesty, and he had to send someone for the sake of his own face, so he thought of him as an idler.

In the eyes of His Majesty he is an idler, and in the eyes of other ministers, he is also an idler. Although he himself thinks so, he still feels uncomfortable when he is actually put in front of people like facts.

This kind of unhappiness was grafted onto Li Jicai's body, plus all kinds of things that happened before. Xi Zien's mood has changed greatly.

"Are you the head of this village?"

Xi Zien sat on the main seat and looked at the village chief kneeling underground with a proud expression.

"Yes, the old body is the village chief of this fork ditch village." The village chief replied respectfully, he didn't dare to take the initiative to ask questions, according to the rules, he would answer whatever the adults said.

You must not go beyond it, if you anger this big official, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The village chief also saw that among the entourages who were following Xi Zien were the officials who were in charge of their Chagouzi Village.

Although they had not seen them once or twice in ten years, the village chief had a good memory and recognized them, and the eyes in which they looked at the village chief were also implied with warning and sternness.

The village chief knew a little in his heart, if this senior official was not here to inspect work or something, then he came here for something.

It's just that what can run to such a poor country like them can't help but make people curious.

The villagers of Chagouzi Village were gathered around the entrance of the village, and they could not enter the place where the village chief was, and naturally they could not hear the village chief's conversation.

It's just curious onlookers, but they are also waiting patiently, and when the village chief comes out, they can know what the officials came to Chagouzi Village for.

"Let me ask you, have you been in your village recently, and there are people with scars on the necks of a man and a woman?" Xi Zien waved his hand impatiently and asked directly.

Originally, it was enough for the officials below him to do this, but he was so bored that he personally met with the village chief.

The village chief should be very honored.

The old village chief was stunned by this question, how could he be so good?

"Recently, I don't know when did you mean it?"

"About a month ago." Xi Zien made a rough estimate in his heart, and it was estimated that it would take about a month before and after Li Jicai was kidnapped.

One month? The village chief pondered in his heart, their Chagouzi Village has always been very closed, and no outsiders have ever come in, and if any vendors come in to sell goods, it is an extremely rare thing.

On weekdays, the villagers arranged for them to go to the city to purchase, and then brought them back, pulling ox carts, not horse-drawn carts.

I think that if outsiders enter Chagouzi Village, they will definitely find out immediately. It seems that there is really no one man and one woman that adults are talking about.

The village chief pondered it carefully, and then said solemnly: "My lord, our Chagouzi Village has always been relatively closed, there are no outsiders on weekdays, and the people who come and go are acquaintances. ”

After a pause, the village chief seemed to think of something. If there is a man and a woman coming in and out this month, then it is not someone else, it is the Wu family.

The boy of the Wu family seemed to have brought a woman back, saying that he was a woman he met in the city, and the poor family was very pitiful when he was alone, so he brought it back.

It seems that she will get married soon, but this woman has not shown up much, as if she is at the Wu family's house all day.

The Wu family's home was originally on the hillside, not under the mountain, so they had less contact with the villagers.

As for whether there is a scar on the neck, it is really hard to say, no one has seen it, after all, the neck, it is also winter, and the clothes worn by each other are also very thick, if you want to know whether there is a scar on the woman's neck, you have to pull off the clothes to see.

"But, my lord, if you say a man and a woman......" said the village chief, hesitating, intermittently uncertain.

After Xi Zien heard what he said at the beginning, he didn't even want to listen to the rest of the story, and waved his hand directly, indicating that he knew that the village chief could go out.

The official next to him was waiting for this moment, and seeing that the big official no longer wanted to talk to this ignorant little people, he rushed up directly from the side, and then dragged the old village chief out with one person on his side.

The old village chief hadn't had time to finish the rest of the words, so Xi Zien couldn't hear about Wu Mian.

If he could have listened to the old village chief's words, maybe not so many things would have happened later. Maybe he has succeeded in getting Li Jicai back.

But the world is unpredictable, can everything be as imagined? This is obviously impossible.

After the village chief was kicked out, Xi Zien pinched his temples and looked at the flattering and smiling officials around him, and suddenly felt extremely disgusted.

Why should he suffer in such a place? If you want to enter Chagouzi Village, you need to climb a mountain.

In order to show his demeanor, Xi Zien didn't let people carry him all the way up and down the mountain. Instead, he relied on his two legs and climbed up alive.

When has he come so far? The soles are very hard, and the feet that are worn are blistered. Although the officials next to him all looked at him with admiration, Xi Zien felt that he really wanted to die to save face.

So now he sits in his chair and doesn't want to move half a step.

After a moment of silence, Xi Zien gave an order, regardless of whether the village chief said that anyone had come into the village. He couldn't let it go.

I'm here, and I'm sure I'm going to take someone to do a good search.

"Explain it, let them go door-to-door, pigsty, cattle pen, sheep pen, whatever the pen is for me to search, and if you find any suspicious person, bring it directly to me.

In addition, it is said that it is a man and a woman, but it is not confirmed whether there are actually several people or whether they have accomplices.

If you find a suspicious woman, a woman with a scar on her neck is not tall, and a thin and weak woman is brought over, do you know? “

Looking at this chagouzi village, it is not very big, if he finds that the woman with a scar on his neck is brought directly to him, he can tell at a glance whether it is Li Jicai or not.

Xi Zien probably wouldn't have dreamed of having a scar on his neck, but the person with a lame foot is Li Jicai.

Since the adults did not mention that the woman they were looking for was lame, if she was lame, it would be a more obvious feature, rather than a scar on her neck.

This caused trouble for the subsequent search, of course, this is something that no one expected, after all, it was not Xi Zien who personally went to find someone.

Among the people present, the only person who has seen Li Jicai is Xi Zien.

Xi Zien's close guards brought not his own, but those sent to him. And the maids and guards who serve their daily life are still on the other side of the mountain.

After hearing Xi Zien's order, the subordinates didn't dare to delay more, and directly carried it out.

Except for a few people left to protect Xi Zien, the others went from house to house to search for people.

After the village chief was kicked out, he naturally explained to the villagers, saying that these people came to find people, not to embarrass them.

The words of the village chief are authoritative to the villagers, so although the villagers are a little panicked and scared, they all gather together, but they are much calmer in their hearts.

Because no one else had entered the village during this time, they did not see any suspicious people moving around the village.

Among these villagers, Wu Mian was also mixed in.

At that time, he was collecting firewood on the mountain, but later someone spread the news that something had happened at the bottom of the mountain.

So Wu Mian followed everyone back to the bottom of the mountain and went straight to the entrance of the village.

I have to say that when Wu Mian saw those officers and soldiers, the first thing he thought of was to escape, and immediately fled from Chagouzi Village with Li Jicai.

He knows many mountain trails, and if he leaves from the middle of nowhere, there is still a chance to take advantage of people's inattention, and there is a great chance.

But his home is here, his mother is here, and Li Jicai is also here, which means that everything he has is here, if he runs away, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Wu Mian really didn't expect those people to be able to find here, this side is so remote, so remote and almost isolated from the world, I really didn't expect that they could be found like this.

Wu Mian in the crowd lowered his head and felt empty, he didn't even dare to look into the eyes of those people, lest the other party find out his panic and fear.

Wu Mian already had a ghost in his heart, and when the village chief was carried out by others, he waved his hand to everyone and explained that these officers and soldiers were just here to find people, not to deal with them, Wu Mian's heart sank, and the hearts of others were much more relaxed.
