Chapter 12: To Save the County Zun (2)

"It's two errands."

The official who brought Chai Zhanwen here just now said.

"The villain's name is Xiao Bingwu, and he manages the officers in the county government and is responsible for the arrest."

"Originally, I was going to arrest those two groups of thieves with the county lord today, but the county lord asked me to stay in the county office, which is quite strange in this regard."

"Well, where are they? I would like to know what they say. ”

Chai Zhanwen's implication was to bring those two errand servants here to inquire.

"They ......," Xiao Bingwu hesitated slightly.

"Master Qiqichai, they are being treated in the hall of the county government, their faces are all blue and purple, and it is not easy for the villain to think that they can escape from the thieves and report the news."

"Well, did you ask about the specifics?" Chai Zhanwen said.

Song Zhizhi said to Chai Zhanwen: "Master Chai, you can sit down and ask slowly." ”

Song Zhizhi poured Chai Zhanwen a cup of tea, and when Chai Zhanwen sat on the chair, Song Zhizhi pushed the teacup on the table in front of Chai Zhanwen.

Chai Zhanwen bowed in to express his gratitude.

Song Zhizhi sat down on the other side of the table.

He pointed to Xiao Bingwu, who was standing on the threshold, and said, "Seriously answer the question that Master Chai asked just now." ”

"Yes, Lord Xiancheng." Xiao Bingwu said respectfully.

Xiao Lujun walked behind Chai Zhanwen and stood, although there were also chairs there, Xiao Lujun didn't want to sit down.

In fact, Chai Zhanwen didn't want to ask carefully.

He simply asked a few questions: "Where does the prefectural magistrate live now?" How many of those two thieves were there? Did they demand ransom from the county government? But what I want to know most is why the prefectural magistrate decided to arrest those two thieves himself? ”

"Master Chai, the villain will answer your last question first."

Xiao Bingwu would feel that this master might be younger than him.

But this Master Chai was personally invited by the county order, and his identity is unusual, and even the county is very respectful of him.

Xiao Bingwu continued: "The county magistrate also doesn't want them to threaten the safety of the people in the county, and there are many businessmen in the county, maybe the county magistrate also thinks of solving this matter quickly." ”

"It does make sense."

County Cheng Song Zhizhi twisted his beard and said.

"The two thieves have not yet demanded ransom, and according to the reliable information of the two officers, there are seventeen of them."

"The county lord was locked up in a cave outside the county seat by them, so we must go and rescue the county lord! What's more, the servants in our county government were all injured by thieves, and this revenge will be avenged. ”

Xiao Bingwu continued to answer Chai Zhanwen's last few questions.

At this time, Chai Zhanwen asked Xiao Lujun on the side, "Don't you think we can catch those thieves?" How about you leading the way now? ”

"I'm afraid this is not appropriate, how can a daughter of my family be a guide to catch thieves?"

Xiao Lujun refused, and she didn't think Chai Zhanwen should have mentioned it in front of so many people.

As soon as Chai Zhanwen heard it, he knew that Xiao Lujun's previous mention of arresting the thieves was untrue.

It's just that the reason why Xiao Lujun said that should be for some reason.

Now Chai Zhanwen's own thoughts are that the county magistrate has not really been arrested.

It is not even certain whether those two gangs of thieves actually exist outside the county.

Therefore, Chai Zhanwen thinks that this is a play directed and acted by the county magistrate, and the purpose is to make everyone believe that he was caught by thieves.

But what is the real purpose of the prefectural magistrate's actions?

Chai Zhanwen thinks that the most likely reason now may be that there are thieves in the county office.

And the prefectural magistrate just wants to find out this person!

Chai Zhanwen thought that he was going to help the county magistrate find out the details, and Xiao Lujun probably knew something.

That's why Xiao Lujun said that he was going to catch the thieves, and he also wanted to make Aridu meritorious.

Now it seems that it may be that Xiao Lujun already knows who the fine work is!
