Chapter 21: The Two Faces of the Prefect

"Is it deliberately making a show for the girl? But what is his purpose? ”

"Maybe it's to get closer to us?" While speaking, Qiao Xiya saw Bai Ning, who was walking in front, suddenly glanced back at her, and the raised corners of her mouth made Qiao Xiya suddenly feel that the hairs on her back stood up.

"It's not like ......" Qiao San, who was walking with his head down, didn't notice all this, and said to himself, "Girl, do you remember the broken carriage on the top of the mountain?" Qiao San said softly, "If it weren't for Bai Gongzi's suggestion to ride a horse, I'm afraid the girl would have flipped down the mountain with the carriage." I don't think Bai Gongzi is a bad person. Qiao San remembered the look in Bai Ning and the words that seemed to be suggestive.

"I always feel like there are many pairs of eyes behind me staring at me, watching my every move, every word and deed." Qiao Xiya hugged her shoulders tightly, even though it was already the scorching sun at this time, Qiao Xiya was still trembling with the fear spreading from the bottom of her heart.

"Don't think about it, girl, I was scared last night. Why don't you go and meet the dumb goddess doctor, it's easy to rest well when you're out of the house, and it's good to let her prescribe a few calming prescriptions. ”

"Then wait until you see the prefect of Huizhou before going to the Rejuvenation Hall."

~~

"Stop! Who? Under the leadership of Mei'er, everyone walked through the streets and alleys to the gate of the yamen of the prefect of Huizhou, and the arrival of everyone made the officials at the yamen inevitably a little nervous.

Mei'er smiled and smiled at the servant: "Tolerance is blessed, these are guests from other places, and they want to see the prefect for important matters."

The official looked at everyone, and the look on his face was very impatient: "Stand back, you guys are waiting here, I'll go to my master." After that, he dragged his steps very reluctantly and walked slowly inside.

After about a cup of tea, the official slowly returned to the door, looked everyone up and down, and squinted his eyes and said: "This is the Huizhou Yamen, not a restaurant and teahouse, my lord is afraid of noise, you can only go in two people, you can discuss."

"Tolerance," Mei'er took a few steps forward and stood in front of the official and blessed her, "You are good, let them all go in, this hot day is standing at the door of the yamen, and it doesn't look good, right?" Let them all in. As she spoke, Mei'er shoved a small piece of broken silver into her hand.

The official pinched the broken silver in his hand, looked at the sun, threw it into the air a few times, weighed the weight, looked disgusted, and sneered: "The girl doesn't have a lot of money, so it's better for the girl to keep her own tea." Anyway, don't look at everyone anymore.

"Mei'er." Qiao Xiya called Mei'er back, "Forget it, we don't need everyone to go in, just me and Bai Gongzi can go in." ”

"Xiya, I'll accompany you in." Yao Mingxi pulled Qiao Xiya's sleeve.

"Brother Mingxi, the luggage I brought out is very important, and I can rest assured that I have you. What's more, Bai Gongzi wants to find his sister, how can he not go to meet the prefect? Don't worry, this is the prefect's yamen, and it will be fine. Qiao Xiya's smile made Yao Mingxi not insist any longer.

"Hatsuun, watch out for yourself." Bai Ning explained to Chu Yun inexplicably, and then walked into the gate of the yamen by himself.

"You stand for a while, I'll go back when I go." After Qiao Xiya instructed a few words, she also walked into the gate of the yamen.

"If you want to find your sister, just go and look for yourself, what are you doing when you come to find this official?" As soon as Qiao Xiya stepped into the lobby, she listened to the prefect in the hall think of two or three sentences and sent Bai Ning away.

"As a parent official in Huizhou, how can you speak so irresponsibly," Bai Ning glared angrily, "Abducting people is a felony in Daning, why is it like losing an ordinary object in your eyes!" ”

"Bold!" As soon as Wu Minchu raised his hand, he snapped, and the shocking wood was slapped on the case, "You grass people, dare to roar in the court here!" Come on! Drag him out to the official and beat him twenty! Wu Minchu's two goatees trembled slightly on his lips.

"Wait." Qiao Xiya hurriedly spoke to stop it.

"Who are you?" was stopped by someone's words, Wu Minchu's mood was extremely bad, he couldn't wait to ask anything, so he dragged Qiao Xiya out with him. But Qiao Xi Yatong's dress up and down and his own aristocratic temperament made Wu Minchu have to ask a few more questions.

"The little girl also came to Huizhou to find someone." Qiao Xiya raised the corner of her mouth and sneered, seeing that Wu Minchu was angry and wanted to have a seizure, Qiao Xiya slowly added, "I am ordered to find someone." With that, he held the gilded token in his hand in his hand.

The bright gilt token made Wu Minchu's face change and change, and in the end, he squeezed out a hint of laughter: "It turned out to be a distinguished guest, Wu Mou had no eyes, and he collided with the two, and I ask the two to bear with me." As he spoke, he turned out from behind the case, walked down, clenched his hands into fists, and shook at Qiao Xiya and Bai Ning.

"That's it." Qiao Xiya frowned with some disgust, "Is the prefect still ready to let us go and find it ourselves?" ”

The girl laughed. Wu Minchu walked in front of Qiao Xiya, and when he saw the relief of the pig on the gilt token, he knew that it was an official of Dali Temple who came to investigate the case in front of him, he smiled stiffly, raised his hand to wipe the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, "The girl must have just arrived in Huizhou, and the lower official ordered someone to arrange a place for the girl to live, and in the evening, the lower official personally set up a banquet to wash the dust for the girl." ”

"You don't have to eat." Bai Ning, who was on the side, interrupted Wu Minchu coldly, "Find out all the reports of all the missing people here in the past two years, and then arrange two horses with better temperaments." ”

"Yes, yes, yes," Wu Minchu looked at Bai Ning, and responded again and again, "The next official will arrange it." Here it goes. ”

Looking at Wu Minchu's trembling back as he turned into the back hall, Qiao Xi Yaden breathed a sigh of relief, and Bai Ning laughed softly on the side: "It turns out that Miss Qiao's momentum just now was all pretended."

"Bai Gongzi is very familiar." Qiao Xiya glanced at Bai Ning.

"Harm!" Bai Ningle let out a loud voice, "I'm also in a hurry." By the way, the card in your hand ......" Bai Ning glanced around and lowered his voice, "Is it real or fake?" ”

Qiao Xiya handed over the token: "It can't be fake, it can't be fake."

The gilt token was shining with gold, and the relief of the pig was full of royal majesty, Bai Ning returned the token to Qiao Xiya: "You are really sent by the emperor today?"

Qiao Xiya nodded: "Don't worry, Bai Gongzi, we will definitely find your sister."

"Girl, childe." As soon as Qiao Xiya's words fell, the prefect Wu Minchu was followed by a person who looked like a master and came to Qiao Xiya, "Dare to ask the girl, what is your surname?" ”

"Little girl Qiao's." Qiao Xiya looked coldly at Wu Minchu's pug.

"Bai Ning." Wang Jun reported his name.

"Miss Qiao, Bai Gongzi, Fang is the lower official has no eyes, and the lower official will arrange for the three classes and six rooms of the Ya to go out to find someone tomorrow, and everyone in the entire Huizhou prefect is obedient to the two dispatches, and there is no other word." Wu Minchu looked humble at this time, as if it was not him who was domineering just now.
