Ye Ziyuan untied the red ribbon that bound her hair on her head and tied a bow around Shao Xi's wrist.

"Childe's poem mentions the ribbon that binds my hair, and the little girl left this ribbon for Childe to think about at this moment."

Shao Xi looked at Ye Ziyuan with a smile and said: "The girl must believe that the darkest hour of the night is also the beginning of seeing the light, no matter how cold and harsh the winter, there will always be a time when spring will come and the willows will be green, don't you see that this spring is coming soon?" ”

Ye Ziyuan said with a shy face: "The little girl will definitely live up to the expectations of the son, if he is lucky enough to get out of the sea of misery one day, the little girl will definitely go to find the son." ”

Shao Xi smiled but did not answer. How so? He still has a bunch of that he hasn't solved now, and he still needs Lao Wu to take care of him, and if he is with a woman by his side in the future, he doesn't know who is taking care of whom.

Shao Xi and Ye Ziyuan talked freely all night without any tiredness, while Lao Wu had already leaned to the side, leaning on the girl's lap and falling asleep, until he woke up at dawn and saw the two talking happily.

After not returning to the post house all night, Shao Xi and Lao Wu planned to go to the county guard's mansion to visit the county guard today, so the two left Lanxiufang early as soon as it was dawn. Ye Ziyuan was sent all the way to the street, and kept waving her hand to Shao Xi, who had already walked away, reluctant to give up.

The two originally planned to go back to the post house for a brief wash and then rush to the county guard's mansion, but they didn't want to see officials at all levels in the city at the gate of the post house as soon as they walked to the door of the post house. Cai Cheng saw that the two had returned, so he hurriedly greeted them.

"Two adults, yesterday the county guard learned that the two adults had arrived in Qingshan County, and this morning he summoned officials at all levels in the city to come to greet the two adults, and the county guard is waiting in the lobby of the post house at the moment, and the next official will go to inform the county keeper that your two adults have returned."

"No need, let's just go in and see Lord Gunden." Shao Xi said with a sinking face.

I wanted to go to him yesterday, but today he came to the door by himself, Shao Xi wanted to know how the parents of this place were parents.

When I came to the lobby of the post house, I saw that everyone was standing with their hands down, and only a person in official uniform was sitting in front of a table in the center of the hall.

I saw that this person was wide and fat, a light crimson official robe was slightly anxious to wear on his body, a gold belt of ten yuan, and a silverfish bag hanging from his waist. A few sparse strands of beard on a round face look like a loyal face, with fair skin, and it must be pampered all year round.

This person is Chen Mohuai, the county guard of Qingshan County.

Chen Mohuai saw the two of them walking in from outside the post house, and Cai Cheng followed behind him, so he already knew that this was the person he was going to greet today, so he quickly got up and walked in front of Shao Xi and bowed down and said: "Chen Mohuai, the official of Qingshan County, greets the two 'Jing Chengsi' adults, but yesterday it was too late and did not dare to come to disturb, so the officials of the association came to meet early this morning. ”

Shao Xi bowed his hand and saluted: "Lord Chen is really polite, as a parent official, Lord Chen is also hard enough, in fact, there is no need to come to the post house at all, we originally planned to go to the county guard mansion today to visit the county guard." ”

Chen Mohuai hurriedly bowed down again and said: "The lower officials are afraid, when the lord comes to the place under the jurisdiction of the lower officials, how can the lower officials not come to greet him?" At this time, officials at all levels in the city were waiting outside the door, and the lower officials had prepared a banquet in the house, and the officials were picking up the wind and washing the dust for the two adults, and hoped that the two adults would appreciate their faces. ”

"It's all easy to say, it's just yesterday's incident, Lord Chen must have known about it, doesn't Lord Chen want to say something about it?"

When Chen Mohuai heard this, he hurriedly bowed down, and said in his mouth: "The dog is drunk and has no form, it is because the lower official is negligent in discipline on weekdays, and collided with the two adults. ”

"Oh? Is it just negligence? Lord Chen, as a parent official, but his son molested a woman from a good family on the street in broad daylight, how can you be an official if you have not fulfilled your responsibilities as a parent? ”

Chen Mohuai was sweating down at this moment. This official is crushed to death, although the person in front of him is just a young boy, but it is the history of the four-grade supervision and inspection of the "Jing Chengsi". This is not a matter of the official level, if he goes back to visit him in front of the saint, it is a small matter to lose the black yarn, I am afraid that his father and son will not be able to escape the disaster of prison.

"I thought that the dog just collided with the two adults, but I didn't want this rebel to do such an outrageous thing, after the lower official went back, he should be severely punished, and he would never be spared, and the lower official, as a local parent official, would never condone his son as a party to the disaster!"

"As far as I know, bandits have been rampant in Qingshan County over the years, and the people have been miserable, if you wait for the people who are local officials to do nothing, it will be tantamount to adding insult to the situation for the people, how can this be the way you are waiting for officials? I hope you will wait for yourself! ”

Although Shao Xi is just an impostor, he has a good role. At this time, he really felt that he was a "Jing Chengsi" four-product supervision history, and he didn't know if he would scold his mother after being known in the future?

How dare Chen Mohuai say the word "no" at this moment? Hurriedly complimented: "Yes, yes, the adult's lesson is very good, and the lower officials will definitely keep in mind the adult's teachings, fulfill their duties, and live up to the emperor's grace." ”

"This time, I took the thief's head Yan Song in Wanxian, and I hope that Lord Chen will deal with this thief who endangers one party strictly, and cannot be tolerated. In addition, Lord Cai Cheng said that Lord Chen came to me to discuss something, but I don't know what it is? But what does it have to do with the bandits? ”

"This matter is a long story, and I also invite the two adults to go back to the mansion with the officials, one is to catch the wind and wash the dust for the two adults, and the other is to discuss this matter with the officials."

Shao Xi turned his head and glanced at Lao Wu, but Lao Wu pouted. I just drank too much last night, and the wine hasn't woken up yet, and now there is another wave, and I don't know if I can withstand it? But you can't refute the county guard's face, right? So he motioned for Shao Xi to accept it.

Shao Xi nodded, "Okay then!" Let's ask the county keeper to lead the way! ”

Chen Mohuai hurriedly beckoned Cai Cheng to prepare a sedan chair, and accompanied Shao Xi and the two out of the post house together.

When they came to the county guard's mansion, the banquet had already been prepared, and after the officials greeted Shao Xi and the others one by one, they each sat down. The banquet was full of flattery, and Shao Xi was tired of listening to it, so he directly asked about what he had just mentioned.

Chen Mohuai hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Don't hide it from Lord Shao, the reason why Xia Guan invited the two adults to come is because he heard that the two adults wanted to take Yan Song, the thief leader of Nawan County, so he also wanted to ask the two adults to help arrest the thieves in Qingshan City. ”

Shao Xi wondered yesterday if the county guard came to them about banditry, and now it has been confirmed that it is indeed related to this matter. So he asked, "I wonder what kind of person this thief is and what kind of cases he has done?" ”

Chen Mohuai pointed to an official next to him and said to Shao Xi: "For details, please ask Treasurer Liang to tell Master Shao!" ”

The person Chen Mohuai was referring to was Liang Daoqian, the treasurer of Qingshan County.

Liang Daoqian saw that Chen Mohuai pushed the matter to himself, and it was difficult to excuse himself, so he told Shao Xi and the others about the thieves in Qingshan City.

"In recent years, although there have been bandits in Qingshan County from time to time, it is not common in this Qingshan City, after all, it is the county keeper who personally sits in the city, even if there are some unsightly thieves, they are arrested in a very short time."

This Liang Daoqian did not forget to see a wave of Chen Mohuai's sycophants at this time.

"It's just that there is a very powerful snitch in this city recently, not only has almost stolen the rich households in the city, but also stole the treasury silver in the county treasury a few days ago, this snitch is very good, it is extremely difficult to capture, the county guard and I and others have been worried about this matter since the incident happened a few days ago, so I asked the two adults to come to help."

Shao Xi asked a little puzzled: "It makes sense that ordinary people are stolen, the treasury of this county is said to be guarded by Kuding on weekdays, how can it be so easy for someone to steal the treasury silver?" ”

Liang Daoqian sighed and said: "Lord Shao doesn't know, this thief's body method is extremely exquisite, he comes and goes without a trace, even if he is discovered, no one can catch up, it is really difficult to deal with." ”

"What Lord Liang said in his mouth, but the female thief known as the 'flying kite under the moon'?"

"It turns out that Lord Shao also knows this person, it seems that this person's ability is not small! was able to enter the eyes of Lord Shao. ”

Shao Xi has no feeling for this kind of sycophancy in recent days, these officials are vain and flattering, which is really embarrassing and uncomfortable.

"I've only heard about it since I entered the city, but I don't know what your adults should do? Let's hear it. ”

At this time, Xing Wenxin, a county man sitting on the side, interjected: "In recent days, the city has strengthened its patrol and defense, especially some important places, but this thief has come and gone without a trace, and we have no good plan at present, so please advise." ”

Shao Xi thought for a moment and asked, "If the people patrolling the defense find a thief, how can they ask for help?" ”

"Naturally, I called for helpers to come and help arrest him."

"In other words, after discovering a thief, only the people nearby know the whereabouts of the thief, and the people who patrol and defend other places do not know the whereabouts of the thief, but is this?"

"That's right, the thief is so good that he will soon run away when he finds out, and by the time the people who have gone to other places arrive, the thief will have long since disappeared."

"It's not the right way." Shao Xi shook his head and said.

Xing Wenxin asked suspiciously, "I don't know what's wrong?" Please also ask Lord Shao for advice. ”

"When the thieves were discovered by the people near the place of the incident, the patrollers in other places did not know that the thieves appeared, and when they knew that they would rush to the place of the incident, the area they had inspected before became a void of defense, and the thieves had escaped into this place without any defense?"

When Chen Mohuai heard Shao Xi's words, he couldn't help asking, "I don't know what kind of plan Master Shao has?" ”

Shao Xi shook his head slightly and said: "I can't talk about a good strategy, but it is not difficult to remind the people who patrol other places in time after the thieves are found in the place where the incident occurred." ”

"Oh? I want to hear about it! ”

"Arrows!"
