After a long time of noisy and noisy family, Qi Lian finally stabilized his mood, Qi Lian felt that his heart was overloaded, subverting his three views, he had never seen such a family, he didn't know what words to use to express his mood at this time, and he wanted to doubt life, he finally received a task to show his face in front of the three princes, he originally thought that reporting a case was a very simple matter, but he didn't expect to meet this strange family, and he left himself aside for a long time, but they talked about it for a long time as if no one was there.

"Ahem!"

Seeing that time was passing little by little, Qi Lian couldn't help coughing a few times, wanting to attract their attention, knowing that he was here, he still had to report the case, as the lord of a county, he couldn't help but do his job.

Obviously, the current situation is still very clear, even if it is a small county order, it should not be a person who does nothing, but the actual situation is that he is just hanging like this, watching the county order couple eat and drink for the old man of the doctor.

Even though Qi Lian's coughing was loud enough for everyone present to notice his existence, no one paid attention to him, and only after the old man had eaten and drunk enough did he walk up to Qi Lian triumphantly and look at him condescendingly.

"Let you, a junior, ignore me as an old man along the way, and now you have tasted my awesomeness, right? See if you dare to bully the old man in the future? I told you to treat the elderly with respect, but you didn't listen, and now you are delaying so much time, do you think whose fault is it? ”

At this time, Qi Lian understood what they were doing, this old man doctor was using the official authority of the county order to make a score for himself, and he couldn't reveal his identity now, otherwise although he was just a guard, he was the object of this little county official's stammering, where would he think that he would be snubbed like this, it was really a tiger falling Pingyang was bullied by dogs, but at this time, he would definitely not get any benefit from conflicting with them, although he knew that the old man of the doctor was making trouble unreasonably, but the county order deliberately connived, and he had to sell his belief.

Now that Qi Lian understood his position, he pretended to be stupid and behaved.

"Sir, all this is the fault of the juniors! But how dare the juniors be rude to you, but the juniors really don't know how to answer your questions, I also went out with my master for the first time, and I happened to encounter a mountain bandit on the road and suffered a bad disaster, and my heart was not a taste, and I really don't know anything about things outside, do you want me to deceive you? This junior can't do it! ”

Seeing Qi Lian's sincere attitude, and as soon as he heard him mention that he had encountered mountain bandits, the county commander was a little embarrassed to accompany his father-in-law to mess around and almost delay the business, so he immediately asked Mrs. County Ling to accompany the old man to the back hall, Mrs. County Ling understood what her husband meant, so she invited her father to the back hall to drink tea, and the old man of the doctor had already achieved his goal of punishing this ignorant junior, and he also knew that it was not good to continue to disturb his son-in-law to deal with official business, so he retreated to the back hall under the steps where his daughter was eating tea.

At this time, the county order had a hint of official authority, and turned around to let the master come in with some papers, because there was no yamen public hall of the government office, but in the reception hall, so some ceremonies were exempted.

After the master unfolded the paper, prepared the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and gave the county order a prepared look, the interrogation officially began.

"Who are you? Why are you here? Come with me. ”

"Villain Qi Lian, my master Yan Gongzi ordered me to come to report the case, we were a group of business travelers, and wanted to go to neighboring counties to exchange a batch of goods, but when we walked to the hundred miles of dense forest, we encountered a group of extremely fierce mountain bandits, they had a team of well-trained beasts, they killed half of our people with ferocious beasts effortlessly, our master had to give up the goods, and led us all the way out."

Speaking of emotion, Qi Lian, a seven-foot man, had red eyes, those dead companions were his most familiar companions, the scene of everyone drinking and having fun together in the past and the picture of them being bitten by wild beasts and lying in a pool of blood alternately presented in his mind, how powerless they were in front of that group of crazy beasts, and then they escaped overnight. I didn't even collect the corpses for them, and at this moment, I am afraid that they have become the food of the beasts.

"Didn't you resist at all? As far as this official knows, you merchant guards are all more or less capable, can't even ordinary mountain bandits be defeated, and you have suffered heavy losses? ”

The county order has a headache when he hears it, and a group of mountain bandits have appeared in the place under his jurisdiction for no reason, which will give him another defeat in his political achievements, and the opportunity for promotion this year is not to be thought about, if it is not handled well, it is very likely to lose his head.

"My lord, to tell you the truth, we didn't even see the appearance of the mountain bandits, we were suddenly attacked by a group of mad beasts at dusk yesterday when we were resting for a while, and we tried our best to escape for our lives along the way, but we still suffered heavy losses, and we escaped from the forest until dawn."

Just a few years ago, the county order was frequently reported by this kind, saying that someone disappeared in the hundred-mile dense forest, but the number of people lost was small, and they themselves did not dare to send people to find it, and this matter naturally ended, and the hundred-mile dense forest has become a recognized taboo for everyone, no one dares to go, and naturally no one comes to report the case, and now this team of people should not know the taboo of the hundred-mile dense forest.

"You dare to go to the hundred-mile dense forest, that piece has always been uneasy, I have already reported it to the court to send someone to deal with it, but there has been no movement on it, you are bold, dare to take that road, it is not easy to pick up a life, I don't think about your goods, nine times out of ten you will not come back, because I will not send my people to take risks, since you yourself are going to take that road, you have to bear the consequences."

Hearing that the county order did not intend to take over the in-depth investigation of this matter, it coincided with the meaning of the previous instructions of the three princes, originally their business was done in secret, and they could not make a fuss known to everyone, and even if the county order sent someone to investigate, it was estimated that it was more likely to lose their lives, and there was no need to increase the innocent casualties, the original intention of the three princes was to hope that the county order could prohibit others from approaching the hundred miles of dense forest, instead of letting them go to investigate.

"What the county commander said is reasonable, my son-in-law also said that if the goods are lost, forget it, let me come to report the case just in the hope that the adult can send someone to garrison the mountain, and don't let other people who don't know the inside story go up the mountain again, so as not to increase the innocent casualties, I believe that the adult loves the people like a son, and will definitely consider the safety of the people."

Since the people who came to report the case said so, as the county magistrate, he naturally didn't want to make a big deal about it, affect his promotion, and didn't want to make the people's hearts unstable, so he couldn't help but praise the head of this caravan for being a sensible and wonderful person, and he should accept it at the moment.

"Then in this case, you go back, go back and tell your son-in-law that in order to protect the safety of this side, this county order will inevitably send troops to garrison the hundred-mile dense forest, in case there are no more unknown people who mistakenly enter the dense forest again and die."

The county commander didn't expect this matter to go so smoothly, it was beyond his expectations, this Yan Gongzi is really arrogant enough, don't want the materials of a trip to the business, such a bold person, it is better not to offend himself.

Qi Lian didn't expect this matter to progress so quickly, and the feeling at the beginning was completely reversed, this county order still has some ability, although there is an unreliable old man, and he is not very reliable, but his ability to handle official affairs is okay.

"The villain still has one more thing to worry about the county magistrate."

Qi Lian couldn't help but have a headache when he thought that he hadn't gotten the medicinal materials for Di Yue from the old man at the doctor, and he still had to deal with that difficult old man, but he still had to do this.

"What's the matter? Please say, as a parent official, this official eats the king's fortune and shares the worries of the people, not to mention the troubles. ”

The county magistrate said it seriously and shook his head, thinking that his son-in-law was looking for some convenience from him because of the lack of money.

"My lord, the villain is looking for a doctor, and it is your father-in-law who took the medicinal herbs he prescribed to Miss Yue."

Hearing this, the county magistrate knew that he was thinking too much, but he was curious about how a woman could appear in this merchant team.

"There are still women in your merchant ranks? What is the origin of this girl? ”

Qi Lian didn't expect that the county order was also a gossip, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and he could only continue to make up the previous story, thinking in his heart how this family loved to listen to him make up stories so much.

"Miss Yue is not a person in our team, but the sister of our master's friend, the family is illustrious and delicate, some time ago her father and brother forced her to marry, she ran away from home in a fit of anger, and happened to be bumped into by our master, just when we were going to travel by her house, so we took her on the road with us. She was bitten by a wild beast and is now unconscious, in urgent need of a doctor's medicinal herbs. ”

Hearing that this is the origin, the injured is a delicate little girl, and the county magistrate does not want to be embarrassed, so he sends someone to the backyard to invite his father-in-law over.

After waiting for a while, but not waiting for the figure of the old man of the doctor, Qi Lian secretly sighed in his heart that this old man of the doctor would not embarrass himself again, is it easy for him to carry out a mission? If you are embarrassed by him again, you will have to shed your skin even if you don't die.

But in a blink of an eye, Qi Lian, who saw the attendant presenting the prescription, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice, this old man of the doctor is still very good at doing things, and now he doesn't have to meet him, Qi Lian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and secretly sighed that this happiness came too suddenly, he was almost a little unable to catch it, in the clouds, sure enough, he was tortured by the old man of the doctor and was a little scared, thinking that he was still a member of the Jade Dragon Army guards, thinking about it is really a little embarrassing.

It turned out that the doctor wanted to catch up with his daughter and son-in-law, so he happily gave the prescription and asked Qi Lian to find a place to grab the medicine.

After getting the prescription, Qi Lian naturally did not make any stay, for fear that the doctor would regret it, it was better to leave the place of right and wrong quickly, it was not too early to see the sky, so he said goodbye and left, found a pharmacy to grasp the medicine, and rushed to the inn where the three princes stayed with luck, in Qi Lian's worries, he finally handed over to the three princes before dark, the mission was carried out without danger, Qi Lian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
