The two came out of the restaurant, Feng Yan brought two escorts dressed as subordinates to follow behind, and the group ate wonton fritters on the side of the road.

The wontons drizzled with sesame oil smelled fragrant and tasted even more fragrant, Xiao Xixi was happy to eat two bowls in a row, and refused to stop until he couldn't stuff anything in his stomach.

When she raised her head, she saw that Leng Mo Dye had finished eating and looked at her silently.

Xiao Xixi stood up as if nothing had happened, and said to Leng Moran: "Big brother, let's go." ”

Cold ink dyeing: "......" is this a big brother?

However, he looked at Xiao Xixi's slightly luxurious clothes, and it didn't seem appropriate for her to pretend to be an entourage?

He hadn't thought about that when he was choosing his clothes just now.

The group stopped in front of the county yamen, and Leng Moran showed his documents to the official guarding the door, and the official invited people to the yamen.

"Our adults went out and will be back soon, Lord Xiao wait."

Leng Mo Ran had no objections, and waited at the reception under the leadership of the officials, and after the other officials of the county government came to see the ceremony, they continued to sit and wait for the county order.

After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, Xiao Xixi sat a little uncomfortable, Leng Mo Dye gave her a look, Xiao Xi Xi immediately sat up straight, and learned to drink tea with cold ink dyeing.

There was movement outside, Xiao Xixi looked over, and saw a middle-aged man with a thin figure and wearing an official uniform walking over, strangely, this person was also leading a donkey.

Xiao Xixi: ???

Leng Mo Ran also looked over, his eyes met the donkey's big eyes, and for a moment he heard the donkey's heart.

He had tried before, but he couldn't hear the animal's voice.

Leng Mo Dye was quite calm, stood up and walked outside, greeted the county order, and took a closer look at the difference between the donkey and the donkey.

Xiao Xixi also followed.

Tao Xianling was combing the donkey, and when he saw the two of them coming out, they were unfamiliar faces, so he couldn't help frowning lightly and asked, "I don't know who the two are?" ”

The official hurriedly introduced the identity of Leng Mo Dye to Tao County Order.

As soon as he heard that it was an official from Dali Temple, Tao County immediately saluted, "I don't know if Master Xiao is visiting, and the officials are not welcome." ”

"Master Tao doesn't have to be polite, the sudden visit of this official is really abrupt."

It was the first time for Xiao Xixi to see Leng Mo Ran so polite to people, and he couldn't help but look at him in surprise, but found that he was staring at the donkey's eyes.

Xiao Xixi: ??? What is the reason why I feel that my eyes are not cured by cold ink for a moment?

At this time, Leng Mo Dye had already taken his eyes off the donkey's body.

He had confirmed that he could indeed hear the donkey's heart.

This donkey is no ordinary donkey.

In its previous life, it was the wife of this Tao County Commander.

And looking at Lord Tao's attitude towards this donkey, it shows that he already knows its identity.

Although it was the first time he had seen such a magical thing, Leng Mo Ran was quite calm, after all, seeing that he had the ability to read minds, such things could happen, and it was not uncommon for people to be reincarnated as donkeys after death.

After Leng Moran and Tao County Ling exchanged pleasantries, the two went back to the house and sat down together to discuss the recent disappearance case in the county seat.

Consistent with the news obtained from the restaurant Xiaoer, a total of 12 women have disappeared in the county recently, except for the proprietress of the Cao family's bun shop, the rest are unmarried women between the ages of 13 and 17.

He just went out with the donkey to the victim's home to inquire about the situation.

Leng Mo Ran asked: "Has the case of the proprietress of the bun shop been investigated separately?" ”

"That's not true," Tao County ordered, "due to the large number of people who have disappeared recently, when Cao Ji came to report the case, the official sent a government official to inquire. Cao Ji claimed that his wife suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night, and that her clothes were still there, and that her disappearance was consistent with that of other lost women. ”

Leng Moran pursed his lips and was silent, he saw the mind of the owner of the bun shop, and knew that there was something wrong with this matter, but there was no evidence, and there was no way to punish the murderer for a while.

He asked, "I wonder if Master Tao has any clues?" ”

Tao Xian Ling couldn't help but sigh, his eyes were deeper: "I've been investigating around recently, but I don't have any clues, that person committed the crime at night, there are no witnesses, and there is no news of the missing woman, and the official doesn't know what to do for a while." ”

Leng Mo said: "The official's wife was almost murdered by thieves last night. ”

Tao County Ling was so shocked that he almost fell off his chair, the wife of the court official, if something happened in the county under his jurisdiction, his black gauze hat was estimated to be lost.

Although he didn't care too much about the things outside his body, this county order was so good, and he didn't want to leave his post like this.

Tao Xianling immediately asked with concern: "I wonder if Mrs. Xiao is okay?" Where do you live, if you want to, it is better to come to live in the county office. The county government was guarded, and the murderer didn't dare to reach into the county office. ”

Leng Mo Ran didn't think that living in the county government was a good thing, on the contrary, it might be more eye-catching, so he politely declined Tao County's proposal, and took advantage of the situation to mention that his men were fighting with the murderer, who disappeared near Maoping Lane.

Tao Xian Ling frowned and said: "Maoping Lane is full of old and weak women and children, if the thieves get in, it is likely to hurt the people, so the lower officials will send people over there to keep an eye on them." ”

Leng Mo Ran stopped him, "Don't worry, I want to ask my lord, there are no people who can commit crimes living in this alley?" ”

Tao Xianling was stunned, obviously he didn't think about it for a while, but the official beside him reminded him: "My lord, Liu Juren lives in Maoping Lane." ”

Tao Xian Ling glared at him, and the official shut up, and he explained to Leng Moran with a smile: "There is a scholar surnamed Liu who lives in Maoping Lane, he is honest and dutiful, and he is very famous in this county, so he will not do such a thing. ”

At first glance, even Tao County Ling recognized Liu Juren, which is enough to show that he is really famous.

Leng Mo said: "This official wants to go with the official to see Liu Juren's house." ”

Tao County's order is quite difficult, although they are officials, they can't go into people's homes to search at will, right?

Leng Moran added: "This official can change into the clothes of the officials and go with the other officials, pretending to be an inquiry. ”

Tao County Ling saw that Leng Mo Dye had taken a step back, so he agreed, asked people to prepare a dress for Leng Mo Dye, and went to Maoping Lane with the officials to inquire about the people's situation door to door.

In order to avoid startling the snakes, Tao County's order gave the following excuse to ask if there was enough clothing and food for the winter, and if not, you could come to the county government to pay on credit.

In order to maintain, the county government also opened a credit business, and the people who could not eat could come to the county government to rely on the household registration to owe grain and cloth on credit, and return the money after earning it, and the interest was very low.

At the same time, the county government also wants such people to live and not freeze to death and starve to death.

As for whether he can pay it back, Tao County Ling doesn't particularly care, as long as people are alive, there is hope, and he also wants to give these people a hope.

After the opening of the credit business, the grain and cloth lent out in the past two years have basically been returned, and the results are quite good.
