On the other side, after Lu Baichuan left, he still felt a little uneasy, and hurriedly went home to the study, wanting to see some of the ledgers he had hidden before, who knew that the secret grid was opened, and it was empty.

Storm Tian Lin was stunned in an instant, he remembered clearly before, and put everything in this dark compartment.

This dark grid was made by himself after working hard for more than half a month, and even his wife and children didn't know that there was this dark grid, so it can be said that things are foolproof when they are placed in it.

But now, it's gone.

Storm Tianlin couldn't bear to take two steps back, but he quickly reacted, gritted his teeth and shouted a name: "Lu Baichuan!" ”

It was definitely Lu Baichuan who did it!

Otherwise, why did he go to check his county office, he didn't receive any news before, he thought that he was behind in the news, but he didn't expect Lu Baichuan to come for him.

He closed the door of the dark compartment, slapped it on the table, and shouted, "Someone! ”

Lu Baichuan must not be allowed to leave alive, at least those account books and letters must be snatched back and destroyed, otherwise not only will his life be difficult to protect, but the officials who are good friends with him will not be able to escape, and when the time comes, will his whole family still have a good life?

A little guy ran in, and he said uncontrollably: "Take someone to check Lu Baichuan's whereabouts, bring more people, and find it and kill him directly!" ”

The little guy didn't know what was going on, but whatever his master commanded, he did it, and immediately went to check Lu Baichuan's whereabouts.

As a county order, there is information about everyone who enters the city, and it is not troublesome to check it, so the little guy immediately locked down the village where Lu Baichuan and the others stayed, and brought people to chase after them.

However, they were still a step slow, and when they arrived in the village, Lu Baichuan and his party were already empty.

The little guy who took the lead was good, grabbed a villager and asked viciously, "Where have the people who lived here before?" ”

The villager had sold tea to the Emperor, and remembered that the Emperor was good, and when he saw that these people were not good people, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't know them." ”

"Dare to lie, Lao Tzu will kill you!"

The little guy threw the villagers to the ground, and the villagers were scared, but they still shook their heads: "The villain really doesn't know, that group of people came to the village to take shelter from the rain last night, and when the rain stopped, they left, and the adults spared their lives!" ”

The road was very muddy, with all kinds of footprints and wheel prints, and it was very messy, and there were no clues to be seen, and the villagers thought, so that they could not go to trouble the nobles.

Seeing that he was trembling with fright, the little guy felt that he really didn't know those people, and no longer embarrassed him, but he didn't leave, and asked the villagers to take them to the village chief's house.

If an outsider enters the village, the village chief must know about it, and it is most appropriate to ask the village chief.

The villagers didn't dare to resist, thinking that the village chief was so smart that he would definitely be able to think of a way to deal with it, so he took them with him.

The courtyard door of the village chief's house is open, and there is a little girl squatting and playing in the mud at the door, hearing the movement, she stood up and looked at the person with some fear, and was about to run home, but someone stepped forward and grabbed the collar and lifted it, and the jade plate hanging on her waist was torn off.

The color of the jade plate is very good, and at first glance, it is not something that this kind of poor family can use, but there is no special lettering on the jade plate, and it is estimated that Lu Baichuan gave it to the child casually.

Then, this just shows that Lu Baichuan must have been in contact with the village chief's family.

"Where is the person who gave you the jade plate?"

Cui Niu was very uncomfortable being carried, and the person in front of her was so fierce, she bit her lower lip and couldn't hold back her crying.

Her mother heard the crying and ran out to see, and when she saw her daughter being carried, she was so frightened that her legs went limp.

"Adults spare your life, Cui Niu is still a child, please raise your noble hand!"

She saw the jade plaque in the man's hand sharply, and regretted that she had not put away such a valuable thing in advance.

I thought that I would let Cui Niu be happy and happy first, and be more touched by the nobility of the nobles, and then take it off and put it away when I went to bed at night, but I didn't expect this to cause trouble.

"I want her to live and tell the whereabouts of those people, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill her!"

As he spoke, he lifted Cui Niu high, and Cui Niu was scared and cried even more fiercely.

Cui Niuniang was stunned, she didn't know what to say for a while, the villager who was forced to lead the way just now turned his mind quickly, and said loudly: "Cui Niuniang, I told these adults that those people came to escape the rain last night and left, the adults don't believe it, you go and call the village chief to come out and explain, even if you give me ten guts, I don't dare to lie!" ”

The little guy glared at him viciously: "Did I ask you!" ”

Cui Niuniang reacted, hurriedly went in to find her father-in-law and came out, and quietly confessed to her father-in-law.

The village chief didn't know who these people were, but listening to the accent was their local, and looking at their clothes, although it was a subordinate costume, but the fabric was also a good material, and the forces behind it were either rich or expensive, thinking of what Lu Baichuan said that the people of the imperial court would come to check, he thought of these people who were estimated to be county orders, and immediately said politely: "Adults have worked hard, do you want to go into the house and drink a bowl of hot tea?" The immature child is not sensible, and he collided with the adults, and asked the adults to disturb her once, and the villain was determined to teach. ”

The little guy is a person from the county order, and he will not easily fall out with the people unless he has to, and the village chief has a very good attitude, an adult on the left, an adult on the right, shouting that they are a little fluttering, and they are also thirsty when they come to chase Lu Baichuan, so they put Cuiniu down and followed the village chief into the house.

After entering the house, the village chief asked Cui Niuniang to take Cui Niu back to the room to hide, let his son go to make tea for these people, and sat down with everyone and told him what happened yesterday.

"They came to hide from the rain, and they thought that my tea tasted good, so they bought it, and the adults saw my little granddaughter close their eyes, so they gave a jade plaque, and after receiving the jade plaque, I left them for a meal, and after the rain stopped, they left, as for where to go, where to go, it is not clear."

As he spoke, the village chief also took out a small bag of tea left in his house, held filial piety in both hands to the little guy who took the lead, and said: "That adult likes it very much, and bought the rest of the tea at home, and there is only such a small bag left, if the adult likes it, why don't you take it back and taste it?" ”

The little servant accepted it unceremoniously, and the village chief asked tentatively, "I wonder what happened to the adults tracking down those people?" That wouldn't be some kind of criminal, would it? If so, wouldn't the villain have done something bad with good intentions? Our county magistrate is a good person, I can't do anything to be sorry for the adults, if the adults are in need, I can gather the strong men in the village to help find ......"

The village chief's son said next to him that he had learned that his father's brain, being a village chief was a condescending talent.

In a simple sentence, he cleared his suspicions and slapped the sycophants of the county order.

Anyway, how did his father recognize these people who were county magistrates?

Those people were really useful, and after drinking the tea, they didn't embarrass them, got up and walked out, and said: "Yamen affairs, you don't mix it up, and pay more attention in the future!" ”
