"Ringing arrows?" Xing Wenxin seemed to understand what Shao Xi meant.

"Yes, Arrow! At the scene of the incident, an arrow was sent out to alert the surrounding people that the thief had appeared, and the person who heard the arrow continued to sound the arrow, and the warning area was expanded again until the whole city patrolled and knew that the thief had appeared. At this time, the patrollers who were a little farther away did not rush to the place of the incident, but stayed where they were and strengthened their patrols, so that no matter where the thieves fled, there would be people from the government to search for them. ”

Xing Wenxin nodded while listening, and agreed: "That's right, even if you can't catch her, at least you know the approximate scope of her hiding, so it will be twice the result with half the effort." ”

Chen Mohuai stroked his sparse beard and said, "Master Shao is really a young hero!" We have never thought of such a simple and easy method, and we have been scurrying around like headless flies, and I am really ashamed to be woken up by Lord Shao today. ”

Shao Xi smiled slightly: "This method is only to lock the direction of the thief's escape, and if you really want to catch her, you still have to rely on strengthening the search and arrest, which will make it hard for the officials in the county guard to catch her quickly." ”

"Lieutenant Chang has not yet returned to Qingshan City, so the inspection and defense of these two days will be carried out by Xing Juncheng! Everything will be done according to Master Shao's arrangement, and don't slack off. Chen Mohuai repeatedly instructed Xing Wenxin beside him.

"The lower official receives the order, and the lower official will definitely make proper arrangements according to Lord Shao's policy."

Lao Wu, who had been eating a mouthful of wine and food next to him, lazily interjected at this time: "I don't think I can catch people by relying on the officials in the government to catch people quickly, the thief's body is extremely good, and I am afraid that I can't catch up with the two legs of catching fast." ”

When Chen Mohuai heard this, he hurriedly asked, "I don't know what Lord Wu has to say about this matter?" ”

Lao Wu lowered his teeth and said: "I don't have any opinions, but if you want to capture this thief, you have to rely on me and Lord Shao's body, in the past few days, it is better for the two of us to participate in the inspection, if we find the thief, we will hunt it down." ”

Shao Xi tilted his head and glanced at Lao Wu, which meant "How did you change sex?" Aren't you usually the most afraid of meddling? ”

Lao Wu replied to Shao Xi with a look of "I want you to take care of it, Lao Tzu is willing".

Shao Xi glanced at Lao Wu fiercely from the corner of his eye, and said in his heart: "You old pervert, don't think that I don't know because the thief is a woman, and you took the opportunity to take advantage of the arrest." ”

Lao Wu shook his head and rolled his eyelids, as if to say, "The dog bites Lu Dongbin!" ”

The eye contact between the two did not attract the attention of everyone around them.

Chen Mohuai was very happy when he heard that the two of them would also participate in the inspection and search, and said to the two with a smile on his face: "If two adults can participate in person, this thief will be caught, but it will make the two adults work hard, and the lower officials are really uneasy." ”

Shao Xi smiled: "It's okay, the two of us are working hard, and we feel uncomfortable when we are idle." ”

After speaking, he glared at Lao Wu without a good look, it seems that he has not slept well in the next few days, this old guy is really a cheat.

Xing Wenxin bowed his hand to Shao Xi and the others, and said sincerely: "The two adults are worthy of being the pillars of the imperial court, and the saint really has a unique vision, if the officials in the world can do it themselves like the two adults, why worry about the peace of the world and the happiness of the people?" ”

All the officials present were embarrassed when they heard this, how could these officials and gentlemen, who deceived and concealed their superiors, flattered and flattered, and rode on the heads of the people every day, do their best and do everything in person?

After drinking the wine and talking about the matter, Shao Xi and Lao Wu got up to say goodbye and planned to go back to the post house. Although Chen Mohuai and other officials still want to stay, Shao Xi really can't stand the atmosphere in this officialdom, and it is naturally better to leave early if he doesn't speculate.

Just as everyone walked out of the flower hall in the back hall, ready to send Shao Xi and the others out of the county guard's mansion, they heard the sound of chasing and laughing in the backyard garden.

"Young Master! Young master, don't be like this, the slave maid still has something to do, so let the slave and maid go! If the master sees it, he will punish the slave and maid. ”

"Little baby, what are you afraid of? Don't avoid me every day! Come, let this young master kiss you, young master, I have something good for you. ”

"Please, young master, just let the slave go! The slave maid is just a lowly maidservant, not worthy of the young master, begging the young master to stop pestering the slave and maid. ”

"As long as you serve the young master and me well, maybe this young master will accept you as a concubine as soon as he is happy, and he will have no worries about food and clothing from now on, what's wrong?"

"Don't! Young master, don't ...... like this"

With the sound of talking, I saw a good-looking maid fleeing from the moon gate in the back garden into the courtyard of the back hall, and another person chased after her.

This person, with a huge head like a pig's head, staggered after the maidservant, pulled him into his arms, and touched the servant girl dishonestly with a pair of hands.

Seeing this extremely ugly face, several officials present couldn't help but raise their hands to cover their mouths and noses, for fear that the wine and food they had just eaten at the banquet would be choked out, and the rest of the people with strong self-restraint were also embarrassed and forced to calm down.

It was none other than Chen Hanbin, the "good son" of Chen Mohuai, the county guard. At this time, he did not notice that there were many officials standing behind him, and they were intently reaching out to untie the servant girl's skirt.

At this time, Chen Mohuai was angry and ashamed, with a face like a pig's liver, and shouted at Chen Hanbin: "Presumptuous! You rebel, you have made you think about it behind closed doors in the house, you are so dissolute and unruly in front of all the adults, what kind of system have you become? ”

Except for Shao Xi and Lao Wu, all the people present were frightened by this loud shout, especially the officials present, who had never seen the county keeper lose such a big temper before.

Chen Hanbin was even more frightened by this sound, his legs trembled, and he turned his head to look at everyone present with a demented look. Seeing this, the servant girl hurriedly knelt on the ground, bowing her head and not daring to speak.

When he bared his buckteeth and swept the two thin slits on his face over everyone present, his eyes locked on Shao Xi for a moment.

"You nosy thing, you dare to come to my house, damn it, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you today."

After speaking, Chen Hanbin rushed towards Shao Xi with that pig face, as if he wanted to gnaw away Shao Xi's bones with his buckteeth.

Before Chen Mohuai could step forward to stop him, Shao Xi raised a kick and kicked Chen Hanbin's chest, which kicked Chen Hanbin's whole person out and hit the tree in the courtyard directly.

Chen Hanbin slid down the trunk of the tree and sat under the tree, raised his hand to point at Shao Xi, and couldn't speak for a long time with his mouth open, it is estimated that the breath has not come up yet!

Chen Mohuai saw that his son was kicked away by Shao Xi, and at this moment he had that uncomfortable expression, and he was distressed to death in his heart, but it was difficult to show it at this time.

So he scolded Chen Hanbin loudly: "You brute, you do nonsense on weekdays, harassing the people and not punishing you, today you still dare to take action against the adult of the 'Jing Cheng Division', you are really bold, your father's weekdays are busy with official business, and you have no time to discipline you, today I want to teach you a good lesson, this brute who does not know how to be polite." ”

After speaking, Chen Mohuai walked quickly to Chen Hanbin and raised his hand to make it look like he wanted to teach his son a lesson. At this time, all the officials hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, and persuaded them that the son was still young, and it was inevitable to do something out of the ordinary......

Shao Xi watched a group of dozens of years old people wearing official uniforms pretending to be acting there, and secretly felt funny in his heart, so he added fuel to the fire and said, "Master Chen thinks that your son just doesn't know how to be polite?" ”

After speaking, Shao Xi also deliberately glanced at the maid kneeling on the ground.

Everyone present, including Chen Mohuai, remembered the scene that had just happened in front of them, and they were all embarrassed to death, and Chen Mohuai couldn't wait to dig a pit and bury himself on the spot.

Due to the presence of Shao Xi and the others, Chen Mohuai was also afraid that he would behave too badly, so he pretended to be calm and said to the maidservant who was kneeling on the ground: "Today's matter, this government sees it in its eyes, you are not at fault, if the young master dares to harass you again in the future, inform this government, and this government will definitely make decisions for you." You go to the steward and receive a hundred pieces of silver, which is a little compensation that the government has made for today's events, so go down! ”

The maidservant replied, "Yes, thank you, sir." He retreated in a panic.

Chen Mohuai trembled and came to Shao Xi and the two of them and bowed down, and apologized in a low voice: "Xia Guan is really ashamed to raise such a rebellious son, not only did he behave without a form, but he also collided with the two adults again, Xia Guan knew that no matter how to make amends, he could not make up for the fault of Xia Guan, but he also asked the two adults to give this beast a chance no matter what, and never take it to heart, Xia Guan is here to kowtow to the two adults and apologize." ”

As he spoke, Chen Mohuai was about to kneel down and kowtow.

Shao Xi stretched out a hand to support Chen Mohuai, and said with a smile: "Lord Chen's words are serious, it is a trivial matter for the prince of your mansion to collide with us, but it is not a trivial matter to rely on his identity as the prince of the county guard's mansion to harass the people and bully the civilians. Lord Chen is the parent official of Qingshan County, he should discipline his son first, in order to benefit one party, only by cultivating himself first and building a family, can he govern the country and level the world, this Taoist ideal must not be said in the next step, right? ”

Chen Mohuai hurriedly bowed down and said: "Lord Shao's lesson is that from today onwards, Xiaguan will definitely discipline this unfilial rebel son well, and prohibit him from going out again. ”

Shao Xi pursed his lips, "Okay, let's stop here today!" The two of us will go back first, and as for the arrest of the thieves, you can arrange it yourself, and Lao Wu and I will come over at night. ”

"Yes! I and the others send off the two adults. With that, Chen Mohuai hurriedly ordered Cai Cheng to arrange a sedan chair to send Shao Xi and the others back to the post house.

When the two were leaving, there was a conversation between Chen Mohuai and Chen Hanbin's father and son:

"Dad, he beat me up yesterday, you have to be angry for me!"

"Shut up, you brute with no eyes, look at how Lao Tzu teaches you today."

Syllable......

"Ah......h

Shao Xi and Lao Wu glanced at each other, shook their heads with a wry smile, and walked out of the county guard's mansion.

Official!
