Chapter 219: Sleek

Liu Xianling originally thought that more things were better than less, so he just forgot about it perfunctory.

But now it's different, the women's abduction case is related to his future career.

If he doesn't do his best, he won't be able to keep the black gauze hat on his head.

Liu Xianling no longer dared to slack off.

He sent all the people under his command out, from the city to the outside of the city, and then to the surrounding villages and towns and official roads, all of them had to be strictly investigated one by one.

The manpower behind him was really insufficient, so Liu Xianling simply rolled up his sleeves and went to the city gate in person, responsible for checking the people entering and leaving the city.

It is precisely because of Liu County's order to lead by example that all the people under him are working hard.

Whether it is a quick official or a high-ranking official, they are all busy at this time.

At the gate of the city, Liu Xianling stared at pedestrians with a pair of eyes like copper bells.

Everyone who passed in front of him, regardless of their identity, had to be scanned from head to toe by him.

His eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he made people's hearts furious.

Especially when he saw a young woman, Liu County Ling had to take out those portraits and compare them one by one, and only after making sure that it was not the woman in the portrait did he let people go.

When an old man led an ox cart through the city gate, Liu Xian Ling suddenly stopped him.

"Wait a minute!"

The old man had to stop and bent down towards Liu Xianling.

Liu Xianling circled around the ox cart, saw that the ox cart was full of sacks, and asked in a deep voice.

"What's in this sack?"

The old man hurriedly said: "It's just some rice grain, if you don't believe it, you can ask other officials, they have already checked it just now." ”

The little official next to him nodded and agreed: "Yes, we opened a sack just now, and it was really filled with rice grain." ”

Liu Xianling felt that only checking a sack was not enough insurance.

Who knows what's inside the other sacks?

He gave an order: "Open all the sacks and check them one by one!" ”

The officials immediately moved the sacks.

The old man hurriedly shouted: "This is really rice grain, why don't you believe me?" I often come to the city to catch the market, and many people in the city know me, so I can't lie to you! ”

However, no matter what he said, Liu County's order was unmoved, and it seemed that he was determined to check them one by one.

It's about your own future, and you can't be too cautious.

The old man was anxious.

He gestured to the nearby crowd to indicate that he needed help.

The next moment, a carriage was speeding towards the city gate from a distance.

The coachman in the carriage shouted as he tightened the reins.

"This horse is frightened, get out of the way!"

I saw the carriage rushing straight towards the city gate.

The people who had gathered near the city gate dispersed, and even the officials who had just been inspecting the ox carts were forced to retreat.

At this time, people were panicked and the scene was chaotic.

Everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, and no one noticed that the old man was walking out with the ox cart in hand.

Only Liu County Lingcha noticed the whereabouts of the ox cart.

He was alarmed, and he didn't care about the danger of being hit by the carriage, so he strode towards the ox cart, shouting as he chased back.

"Stop the ox cart! If anyone can stop the ox cart, the official will reward him with a hundred taels of silver! ”

There will be brave men under the great reward.

The people, who had wanted to hide far away, heard that there were one hundred taels, and when they landed, they were like being beaten with chicken blood, and they couldn't care about anything, and they all rushed towards the ox cart.

Even if the old man shook the whip vigorously and pumped the ox, the ox cart still couldn't go fast.

Soon the ox cart was surrounded by the people.

Liu County Ling and the officials caught up.

"Take him down to the official!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the old man drew his big knife hidden under the ox cart, jumped out of the carriage and rushed in the direction of the least number of people.

He looked quite old, but the movement of the knife was very imposing, and with his hideous expression, the people were frightened to retreat, not daring to have a hard time with him.

Liu Xian Ling shouted hoarsely: "One hundred taels! Catch him with a hundred taels! ”

In the end, it is still money that touches people's hearts.

Even though he knew that there was danger, a few men who thought they were good still stood up and tried to fight the old man.

The officials also pulled out of the official road one after another and fought with the old man.

In the end, it was the old man who was invincible with his fists and four hands, and he was defeated and tied into zongzi on the spot.

But the officials didn't do well either, and two of them were injured.

Liu County ordered the two officials to treat their injuries, and the rest of the people unloaded all the sacks on the ox cart and opened them one by one to see what was inside.

The top sacks were indeed filled with rice.

But the sacks below were filled with people.

It's a young girl.

Their hands and feet were tied, their mouths gagged, their eyes closed and motionless.

Fortunately, there is still breath, and it looks like he should just be unconscious.

Liu Xianling took out the portraits and compared them one by one, and it was determined on the spot that these girls were part of the group of lost women.

He was overjoyed in his heart, and now he has an explanation!

"Take them back and ask the doctor to heal them."

"Whoa!"

The people applauded when they saw Liu Xianling rushing to the front line in person regardless of the danger, and when they saw him rescue the girls who were abducted and trafficked.

There were also people shouting.

"Lord Liu is so powerful!"

"We hope that Songcheng can have a parent official like Lord Liu, it is really our blessing!"

Liu Xianling, who was about to go back to invite credit, stopped.

He looked at the people in amazement.

From the time he was admitted to the Jinshi and had the opportunity to become an official in the court, some people kept telling him that the most important thing to be an official is to be tactful.

Only sleek people can live long in the treacherous officialdom.

Liu Xianling thinks that he has no talent in the world, so he has no lofty ambitions.

Since he came to Wangsongcheng to take office, he has always adhered to the principle of being tactful, trying to establish a good relationship with the local squire, and trying his best to please the superior officials.

As for what the people thought of him, he didn't care.

Anyway, he will only stay here for three years, and as long as he does not make any major mistakes within three years, he will be promoted to another place to continue to be an official after the three-year term expires.

To him, the people of Wangsong City are just passing clouds and insignificant.

He didn't care about the people, and the people naturally didn't have a good impression of him.

On weekdays, when the people saw him, they were more afraid than respectful.

Occasionally, you can still hear people scolding him behind his back, and he is confused and handling cases.

But now, the people are praising him from the bottom of their hearts.

The eyes that everyone looked at him were full of worship and respect.

It seems that it was not until this moment that they really recognized Liu County's order.

Liu Xianling couldn't help but feel a little passionate in his heart.

He seems to have returned to his youth, and he looked forward to the future with his classmates, when he made a wish that if he could become an official in the future, he would definitely be a good official who could benefit one party!
