It's approaching dusk.

The official Qin and the official Gu were called over by the county magistrate.

It seems that the officials in the county government have all left work.

There are only two people in the hall: Master Wu and Master Cheng.

"Qin Fu, Gu Rong."

Lu Xuan stood behind the table, stood with his hands in his hands, and called out the names of the two.

"The subordinates are here."

The two of them replied in the same way as the other officials.

"This official has encountered a case at present, and a kind of rouge was found in the scene of the crime, which is sold in all major rouge shops in the city, and it is necessary to confirm the source of this rouge through comparison."

Lu Xuan picked up a piece of paper from the table and handed it to the two:

"But the operators in the county government are all men, and they are not accompanied by a female companion, so it is quite inconvenient to go to the rouge shop.

This paper says that there are several shops in the city that sell rouge, and you can change back to women's clothes and buy the type of rouge written on the paper. ”

Qin Fu and Gu Rong looked at each other, and after being stunned for a moment, Gu Rong took the piece of paper.

"Alright, let's go, before it's completely dark...... When it was late, the rouge shop was closed. ”

Lu Xuan waved his hand:

"By the way, remember to ask the merchant to issue a receipt, and the yamen will reimburse you when the time comes."

The county magistrate had an order, and Qin Fu and Gu Rong naturally didn't dare to disobey.

The two glanced at each other, saluted Lu Xuan, and left the yamen together.

After Qin Fu and Gu Rong left.

Lu Xuan looked at Cheng Lingzhu and said with a smile:

"Get ready to act, master."

"Please rest assured."

Cheng Lingzhu also smiled and made a gesture.

………………

Qingxian City.

Qin Fu and Gu Rong walked together.

"This should be the last one."

Qin Fu looked at the shops not far away.

"It's already dark."

Gu Rong looked up at the sky, "It's almost time for curfew." ”

"It's okay, it's just time to arrive, and the curfew will take a stick of incense."

Qin Fu calculated for a moment:

"The shops in the south of the city are closed after curfew, so they can't delay things, and the officials who patrol the streets are all from the county government, so they know that we have a task to do, so we can walk back slowly after buying things."

"I'm worried that there will be bad people out there at this late hour."

Gu Fu said.

"Qingxian City is protected by Qingxian, how can there be so many bad people?"

Qin Fu laughed:

"Besides, we are the officials of the county government, so if we are really afraid, they should be afraid of us."

A total of six rouge shops are marked on the list, from near to far from the county government.

Qin Fu and Gu Rong have completed the procurement of the first five, and they are still short of the last one.

As the curfew approached, there were no more pedestrians on the streets, the sky was dark, and it was dark.

Qin Fu thought of Gu Rong's words, and suddenly felt a little drumming in her heart, and couldn't help but speed up her pace.

At this time, a black shadow suddenly rushed out of the small alley on the side.

The black shadow grabbed Qin Fu's arm and was about to drag her into the alley.

Qin Fu panicked, let out a scream, and then was covered with her mouth.

Gu Rong was dumbfounded, when she came back to her senses, Qin Fu had already been dragged into the alley.

She hurriedly rushed forward and pushed the bad guy away.

The attacker was guarding the exit of the alley here, and Gu Rong took Qin Fu and ran towards the other end of the alley.

In that place, there were a few bits of light, which were emanating from the lanterns.

That is, at the other end of the alley, there are people.

The black shadow chased behind him, and the two of them ran lifelessly ahead, obviously not very long alleys, but far away as the end of the world.

Finally, they ran out of the alley, and the shadow followed.

"Help! Help me! ”

Qin Fu shouted for help.

"A bold thief, he actually took advantage of the night to commit murder and harm a woman from a good family!"

A voice rang out.

It was a young man who held a folding fan.

He pointed to the folding fan in his hand, and immediately several people in household clothes rushed up and wanted to subdue the man in black.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black turned around and ran, he was extremely fast, and everyone couldn't catch up with him.

"Alright, let's all come back!"

The young man shouted.

Several of the family members turned back and gathered around him again.

"Two girls, are you all right?"

The young man said.

"Thank you...... Thank you, Childe. ”

Gu Rong whispered.

Someone next to him lit a lantern, and the two of them saw the appearance of the "life-saving benefactor" clearly.

Qin Fu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment:

"Thin ...... Master Bo? ”

"Huh? You two actually recognize me? ”

Bo Chang shook the fan in his hand.

"Master Bo is a big man in Qingxian City, so we naturally know each other."

Qin Fu said.

She met Bo Chang at Gu Yang's banquet.

"Where do the two girls live? Why are you still on the street at such a late hour? Do you need me to send you back? ”

Under the light, Bo Chang also looked at the two of them.

Of the two women, one is a little younger and has not yet grown, while the other has soft eyebrows and eyes, and her posture is good.

"Back to Master Bo, the two of us are ......"

Qin Fu just wanted to answer, but Gu Rong pulled her sleeve.

They came out to investigate the case, and it is inconvenient to tell outsiders about this kind of thing.

Qin Fu thought for a while:

"The two of us are from the county government, and after the shift, we are going to go to the rouge store to have a look and want to buy a box of rouge."

"Is the county government also recruiting women now?"

Bo Chang's face looked surprised.

"It's just paperwork and sorting out the files."

Qin Fu explained.

"This Lord Wu is really not a mortal."

Bo Chang sighed.

"By the way, you're here to buy rouge, it just so happens that the owner of this rouge shop is familiar with me, so you might as well go and have a look together."

Bo Chang sent out an invitation.

"This ......"

Qin Fu hesitated.

"After all, if you two daughters encounter thieves, I'm afraid they will be in danger."

Bo Chang is very considerate:

"Since I met two girls, it's better to be a good person to the end."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Bo."

Qin Fu thought of what happened to Fang Cai, and couldn't help but be a little afraid.

On the side, Bo Kai, the steward of the Bo family, looked at the obedient Qin Fu and Gu Rong, and shook his head slightly.

He naturally knew what Bo Chang wanted to do.

Today is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and it is also the day when Bo Chang regularly visits the Qinglou every month.

Bo Chang himself didn't expect that on the street, he could see a thief who wanted to do something wrong.

Just looking at the figures, those two women are very good.

For Bo Chang, a woman from a good family is certainly more attractive than a woman from a green house.

As the second daughter's father-in-law, he is powerful and powerful, and he is not bad......

At this time, with a little trick, it won't take long to take it down.

Thinking that the other party is still from the county government, it can be regarded as a female catcher......

Bo Chang's heart was hot.

Distance.

"It's finished?"

Cheng Lingzhu took off the mask on his head.

"It seems that there are initial results."

Lu Xuan looked at Bo Chang and the others.

The "thief" who attacked Qin Fu and Gu Rong was naturally pretended by Cheng Lingzhu.

The drafter of the plan is Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan learned from Lu Ping's mouth that Bo Chang, a playboy, would visit the Qinglou in the south of the city on several fixed days every month.

The building is closed at night, and guests enter before curfew.

Then the Qinglou closed the door and refused to entertain the guests, and the guests inside would be happy all night.

So Lu Xuan sent Qin and Gu to buy rouge at this point in time.

Exactly in line with Lu Xuan's calculation, when they arrived at the last rouge shop, Bo Chang happened to appear in the next block.

So Cheng Lingzhu, who played the bad guy, created this "chance encounter".

………………

It's night.

Bo House.

"Bo Kai, you go to Leng Yu Pavilion tomorrow, buy a set of hair accessories, and pack it in a gift box."

Bo Chang commanded.

“…… This is for the girl tonight? ”

Bo Kai's mind turned and he reacted.

"Not bad."

Bo Chang nodded.

"Master, Leng Yuge's hair ornament...... Isn't it too expensive? ”

Bo Kai asked.

In his impression, the last time Bo Chang let him go to Lengyu Pavilion to buy something, it was to get a Qinglou Oiran to get his hands on it.

"When has the head of the family ever been short of money?"

Bo Chang glanced at him, "If you want to buy it, you will buy it." ”

"Yes."

Bo Kai immediately shut up.

However, Bo Chang would not be angry, he knew that Bo Kai was loyal to him, and he wanted to save money for the Gu family at this time.

"Do you know why I got that Qin Fu?"

Bo Chang asked.

"Is it because she's so good-looking?"

Bo Kai guessed.

"It's not."

Bo Chang shook his head, "Among the women I have pursued, Qin Fu is good-looking, but it doesn't make me so interested. ”

At the first glance of Qin Fu, he had the urge to take this woman for himself.

But not long after I knew each other, I gave such a valuable thing, and Bo Kai had a deeper consideration.

"Is it because of who she is?"

Bo Kaisi S County Yanu Catch...... Make the master feel different? ”

"Not really."

Bo Chang shook his head.

"What's that?"

Thin open puzzled.

"Qin Fu is in the county office, managing the clerical treasury, and can see all the case files sealed in the county office."

Bo Chang narrowed his eyes, "I want to know what the truth is about my father and my grandfather being assassinated back then." ”

"Master, this ......"

When Bo Kai heard this, he was suddenly shocked.

"I wanted to do this a few years ago, but I was too young to find out about it, but I couldn't do anything about it."

Bo Chang took a deep breath:

"Now that I think about it, it's time."

"That'...... Why did the master pursue that Qin Fu instead of Gu Rong? ”

Bo Kai asked, "Gu Rong is two years younger than Qin Fu, so it seems that it is easier to get it. ”

Bo Chang shook his head:

"You see, that little girl named Gu Rong is much more thoughtful than Qin Fu, she is not a person who is easy to fool."

………………

The next day.

When Qin Fu set off from home and was about to go to the county office to check in.

A figure appeared outside the door.

It's the Bo family steward, Bo Kai.

"What's the point of being a thin steward?"

Gu Rong asked.

She lived with Qin Fu, and Gu Yang gave the two of them a lot of silver, enough to buy a small courtyard near the county office.

"Miss Qin still remembers that last night the head of my family was in the rouge shop, because the hairband on his head was broken, so he asked the girl for a hairpin."

thin open says:

"I was supposed to come back today, but I thought that the girl's hairpin had been used by the man, and I was afraid it would not be good to return it, so I ordered to go down to the Leng Yu Pavilion to buy a set and give it to the girl."

He was holding a delicate wooden box in his hand, which contained a complete set of hair accessories produced by the Leng Yu Pavilion.

"Of course, the master also asked me to bring a gift to Miss Gu."

Bo Kai took out a wooden box again, "Cuiyuzhuang's bracelet, I don't know if the girl likes it." ”

"It's just a hairpin, I accept such a valuable gift from your master...... Not okay? ”

Qin Fu said.

"If the girl doesn't accept it, she will be punished when she goes back."

Bo Kai deliberately made a pleading appearance, "This is a little bit of our family master's heart, please accept it from the two girls." ”

"Hmm...... All right. ”

Qin Fu was not pretentious, and accepted the wooden box.

She saw that Gu Rong didn't want to take it, so she also reached out and took it for her and stuffed it into Gu Rong's hand.

Seeing that the two of them had received gifts, a smile appeared on Bo Kai's face:

"The two girls are still busy, so I won't bother when I am here."

With that, he got up and took his leave.

After the thin drive away.

Qin Fu opened the delicate wooden box, took out the hairpin headdress in it, and put it on his head.

"Is it pretty?"

She asked.

"Hmm...... Pretty. ”

Gu Rong nodded, and had to admit that this set of headgear matched Qin Fu very well.

"If you look good, then wear it, let's go, let's go to the county office."

Qin Fu raised his head and chested.

"This ...... Sister Qin, isn't it good for us to accept the gift from the head of the family. ”

Gu Rong looked at the box in her hand.

"What's so bad?"

Qin Fu asked rhetorically.

"We were sent by Master Gu, and we are currently the county magistrate's people, and now we have received a gift from the head of the Bo family......

Gu Rong was a little puzzled, which side she should be on.

"Good sister, I'm not as good as you in terms of brains, but if you understand men...... You're not as good as me. ”

Qin Fu said confidently:

"Yesterday he invited the two of us to the rouge shop, and I knew he didn't have any good intentions."

Gu Rong was stunned when she heard this, and said after a while:

"Then Sister Qin, you still promised him......"

"Or else?"

Qin Fu spread his hands, "People are our life-saving benefactors, we can't even give this face, right?" ”

"Besides......"

Qin Fu's eyes rolled:

"If I hadn't wanted to have anything to do with him, I wouldn't have lent him the hairpin yesterday."

The highest-end hunters, often in the form of prey.

Bo Chang had an idea about her last night, and in fact, she was also trying to find a way to fish Bo Chang.

"Good sister, think about it."

Qin Fu's words are serious:

"Now that Master Gu and the county master are at odds with each other, maybe there will be a conflict one day, what should we do when we are caught in the middle?

Neither of these two sides can be offended by you and me, if we don't hurry up and find someone who can protect the two of us, then you and I will only be afraid that we will become victims of their fighting. ”

Gu Rong was silent.

She must admit that what Qin Fu said is very reasonable.

"The time for Master Bo to appear is very appropriate, we are originally Gu family's tricks, who to sing is not singing, who is dancing is not dancing? Now befriending Master Bo is to leave a way out for himself. ”

Qin Fu was very sober.

"Sister Qin, what if that Bo Chang wants you to help him do something in secret?"

Gu Rong asked.

"What are you doing?"

Qin Fu asked rhetorically.

"That's it...... It may be something that is not good for Master Gu, or the county government. ”

Gu Rong said.

"It depends on what he asks for, and if it's too much, of course I won't agree."

Qin Fu said.
