The night passed, and the county town of Yanshi was covered with snow.

Shiba Gou'er stood outside a small house and knocked on the broken door knocker, warmed his hands, kept stomping his feet to keep warm, and waited for a while before seeing Qi Chou open the door.

"Handsome."

"Call me 'handsome' again? Qi Chou said: "I can't stand you playing like this." ”

"Isn't Gao Xiancheng coming back? The county order has promised you to be the leader again, I see, I just have to get the talisman back from Xue Xian's hand. ”

"You're going to have to use me.

"That's it." Shiba Gouer said: "Because of the past few days, the reminder has been delayed, which is the first priority of the county office." ”

The two walked towards the county office while talking, and when they arrived at the door, they saw a few good horses tied there, and there were a few gentle and elegant servants in Tsing Yi standing next to them, which were people from Luhun Villa.

There has never been a friendship between the scholarly family and the layman, but Qi Chou is quite jealous of the Song family, because if he really can't complete the collection, the Song family will have to donate some of the holes left.

After the Liucao Courtyard, they were about to go to the Chenglang to visit Gao Chong, but the two found that several masters of Luhun Villa were talking in the Wei Corridor, and even the county commander was accompanying them........

If Xue Lang needs manpower, I am duty-bound.

Remember https://m in a second.

Song Li was very chivalrous, patted his chest and said: "The person I usually admire the most is Xue Lang, and I just took this opportunity to learn from Xue Lang."

He learned that only Xue Bai knew Zhang Sanniang in the entire Yanshi County, so he knew that he must take advantage of this matter.

Xue Bai said: "It's natural to be able to make friends with Brother Song, but this case is not handled by me, and now Gao County Cheng is investigating." ”

"Human life is at stake, Zhang Sanniang has disappeared, what is the difference between you and me among the county officials? It's right to be in this together. ”

"In that case, I will lead the messenger to search along Luoshui?"

Xue Bai said, turned to Lu Linghao, and asked, "What does the Ming Mansion think?" ”

Lu Linghao didn't seem to have anything to do with Song Mian, but he still gave the Song family a face, nodded, and said, "It's okay, Xue Lang will take the servants and go to search with the Song family." ”

With that, he turned around and went out, and returned to the Linglang by himself.

After a while, Gao Chong came over and said, "The Ming Mansion shouldn't allow Xue Bai to take the opportunity to reach out to the county affairs. ”

"You have also seen the attitude of the Song family, and we should also put Zhang Sanniang's safety first."

Although they were all in the same boat, Gao Chong didn't like Song Mian very much, and sneered: "It's just a short-sighted selfish person." ”

"Let Xue Bai go and find someone, and the matter will be over." Lu Linghao said: "This is the position of the county lieutenant, so what can I do?" You let Qutou send someone to keep an eye on him, a few errand soldiers, can you still take refuge in him? ”

"Okay."

Gao Chong didn't care much about those errand soldiers following Xue Bai to find people, after all, Li San'er, the commander of Caoyun Canal, was the real handsome man in Yanshi County.

Lu Linghao said again: "The matter of the collection is suspended, and the people in each county are afraid that they will have to find it along the Yihe River, so as not to embarrass people." ”

"Okay."

Gao Chong responded, and was about to go out, when Lu Linghao suddenly asked: "By the way, Zhang Sanniang's matter is really not the hand of the people in the ditch?" ”

"No, we just came back from the Yellow River crossing."

"Is it possible that someone did it without permission?"

"The niece of the saint, which one dares?" Gao Chong said, "Don't worry, I'll ask Qutou again." ”

"Okay, the rumors of Lishan's assassination have not passed, and it will be eventful, don't make trouble anymore."

Xue Bai stood in front of the window of the Wei Corridor, watching Gao Chong leave, with a look of scrutiny in his eyes.

"County lieutenant, the officers have all gathered." Xue Xian was dressed in an official uniform and stepped forward to salute with a horizontal knife in his hand.

"Let's go." Xue Bai said, "We started to search from the lower reaches of the Yiluo River and went up along the river. If it can't be found on the river, Zhang Sanniang is likely to have been robbed by gangsters. ”

"Whoa."

Qi Chou responded, and he didn't care much about finding someone in his heart, but what he cared about was that Gao Xiancheng would not resume his position as a bad commander today.

"That's right." Song Li followed Xue Bai and asked, "I don't know what Zhang Sanniang looks like?" ”

"She has just arrived at the age of cardamom, and she has not yet reached the age of cardamom, about five feet two inches, and she looks lovely."

"How's that a good way?" Song Li asked.

"Big eyes, very bright, goose egg face, some baby fat, a small mole on the left eyelid, and a very serious expression.

Song Li was overjoyed when he heard this, and he turned his head to look at Song Mian.

"Brother."

"You go with the county lieutenant, and I'll go back to Luhun Villa to recruit people to look for it." Song Mian said: "I will definitely find Zhang Sanniang." ”

Obviously, it was still early, but Song Li seemed to feel that he was about to become the son-in-law of the Zhang family, and he was full of interest.

He put on a big policeman, drove his horse with Xue Bai, led the people from the south bank of the Yiluo River to the north bank, and then searched all the way to the southwest.

In this way, until evening, a group of men and horses suddenly came in front of them.

"Who are you? Have you ever seen a little lady? ”

Someone drove out the horse, a beautiful woman in a robe, very arrogant and a little anxious.

Xue Bai immediately drove forward and asked, "The county lieutenant of Yanshi is here, dare to ask if you are from the Zhang family?" ”

"Xue Lang, it's been a long time." An old woman in the crowd stepped forward, it was Gongsun Auntie.

"Aunt Gongsun is chivalrous." Xue Bai saluted.

Aunt Gongsun sighed: "It's the old body who didn't take care of Sanniang." ”

The rest of the people greeted one after another, and they were all officials from near Longmen who came to help find Zhang Sanniang, and one of them, Xue Bai, had also seen it, it was Cui Youfu, who passed the official examination with him at that time and was awarded the official Shou'an County Lieutenant.

Cui Youfu is a young talent, Tianbao is a four-year jinshi, and he was appointed as a lieutenant at a young age. However, Xue Bai's career was smoother than him.

When they met in the ministry, the two had no friendship, but now that they are reunited, the two young county lieutenants have some feelings of meeting their old acquaintances in a foreign country.

"This case, Xue Lang is waiting to be treated?"

"The Yi River in winter shouldn't wash people away.

Cui Youfu said: "Didn't I go to look for you?"

"It's not." Xue Bai said: "I don't know Zhang Sanniang well. ”

"Then it's troublesome." Cui Youfu said: "Do you know that Yanshi County has become a den of thieves? ”

"I ...... Know. ”

"Then Yanshi County should give the Zhang family an explanation."

"Find out first." Xue Bai expressed his position on behalf of the Yanshi County Bureau, and said: "If you can't find it, the county office will give you an explanation." ”

Song Li looked at it, a little jealous of Cui Youfu, and secretly said that he couldn't let the children of the family who were useless steal his limelight in this matter.

It's getting dark.

Everyone held torches and looked for a while, but there was no gain, so they had no choice but to turn back to Yanshi County, and a steward of the Zhang family questioned Lu Linghao.

Xue Bai walked through the corridor until he reached a dark corner of the county office that was uninhabited.

After a while, someone came.

"No one saw it, did they?"

Two figures in the darkness were attached to each other.

Du Shi wrapped his hands around Xue Bai's neck, leaned into his ear and whispered, "It's arranged, just do it directly." ”

"There are excuses to do it, there are spectators to control the situation, enough is enough."

"But I'm afraid it's hard to finish."

"It's okay, when the new official takes office, let's start the fire first."

In fact, I haven't seen each other for a few days, and the fire between the two is about to burn.....

"What's going on?"

The steward of the Zhang family came with many powerful people, and he was in the county office, asking the county order to give an explanation. ”

Gao Chongzheng was writing a letter at home, and when he heard the words: "The person was lost in Longmen, how can you give an explanation to the county order?" ”

"The matter of the dark house, those people in the county have always known about it, and they just took advantage of this incident to make an attack."

"Didn't they get any good?"

"Shou'an also has a new county lieutenant......"

"Let Qutou find the Guo family to confirm." Gao Chong said, "I'll go to the county office to take a look." ”

He went all the way to the county office, and just saw Jiang Hai leaving in a hurry with people.

For the time being, he didn't care where these servants were going, so he hurried to the middle hall, and saw that everyone was shirking their responsibilities.

"In Zhuqi County, the eastern capital, Yanshi is the most chaotic, and thieves are rampant, could it be that the thieves of Yanshi robbed Zhang Sanniang?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's about Zhang Sanniang's reputation. But Yanshi County failed to save people downstream? ”

"Ladies and gentlemen." Gao Chong stepped forward and said, "I don't think you need to worry too much, Zhang Sanniang may not have had an accident." ”

"Gao Xiancheng, what does this mean?"

Gao Chong looked at Xue Bai instead and asked, "I heard that after Xue Lang won the top prize in high school, there were many famous ladies at the Qujiang banquet who wanted to catch their sons-in-law, I don't know if they saw Zhang Sanniang at that time?" ”

"Not really."

"Why hide it? Now it is the middle of winter, the Yi River is dry, and it will not wash away Zhang Sanniang; Luoyang is an important place, and there can be no big thieves. Zhang Sanniang deliberately made people row, went down the river, and came to Yanshi to find Xue Lang. ”

Xue Baiying said: "Gao Xiancheng speculated for no reason, it doesn't matter to me, but if it ruins Zhang Sanniang's reputation, or even misses the search and rescue, it will be inappropriate." ”

"You just clearly met a certain woman in the Zhang family and his party in the courtyard, and you dare to say it?"

"Gao Xiancheng, this is the county office, and you have to be responsible when you speak."

Gao Chong's purpose was not to prove that Zhang Sanniang was here to find Xue Bai, but to let everyone stop being led by Xue Bai's nose.

Therefore, he was quite bold and said, "If I dare to speak, I will dare to bear it." What about you? Dare to do it? ”

"Okay."

"Enough!" Lu Linghao drank two subordinates and said, "One by one, the more you talk, the more unspeakable." ”

Gao Chong was very confident and said: "I thought that if I searched Xue County's Wei family, I would definitely be able to find Zhang Sanniang." ”

He was already faintly aware that this was a drama arranged by Xue Bai to seize power.

It's just that for the time being, it's not sure to what level Xue Bai wants to go.

In the courtyard behind Kofukuji Temple.

Xu Shande is checking on some of the women he brought back today.

"The one sold by Luhun Villa is worthless, take it to the back."

"Yes."

"I'll take a look at the rest......."

As he spoke, as soon as the lantern shone on, Xu Shande's eyes lit up, and he found that there was a very prominent cardamom girl among the rows of women, with aura in her eyes, a goose egg face that had not been taken off childishly, and a tear mole in her left eye.

What's even more rare is that she has a straight back and a slender neck, and she is obviously able to dance.

"Where did she come from?"

"Picked it up on the docks in the evening."

"Go and check, Qu Shuai also said today that Luoyang lost a ...... with an identity"

suddenly

There was a shouting from the front door, followed by screams.

"What's going on, go and see.

Xu Shande instructed the nursing home, listened carefully for a while, and felt that someone was making trouble, so he summoned another person: "Go and report to Qu Shuai." ”

"Whoa."

"Lock these sluts up first."

"Whoa."

Two of Xu Shande's men drove the women to the rear.

After walking for a while, they felt that the situation was not right, looked at each other, muttered a few words, and reached out to catch the most beautiful little woman among them.

"Eat dog intestines, I wanted to serve it here!"

The weapon in Ren Mulan's hand had been replaced with a horizontal knife.

As soon as she begged Jiang Hai, Jiang Hai gave it, and she didn't feel that she needed to ask the county lieutenant about this kind of thing.

The lantern under the eaves illuminates the courtyard and makes her sword cold. She was agile and ran faster than everyone else, even Jiang Hai was behind her.

rushed over to meet a nursing home, saw Ren Mulan, and didn't take her seriously at all.

"Poof."

Ren Mulan slashed at his waist with a knife, and Ren blood splashed her face, she was not afraid at all, showing a ruthlessness that did not match her age.

The guardian howled on the ground, and she made up for it, cutting off his fingers so that he could not fight back.

This startled the other guards who rushed over, and Jiang Hai had already led people to rush over.

Behind him were not only the guys transferred from Weifenglou, but also the errand officers of several Yanshi led by Xue Xin.

At this time, these officers were all in a state of confusion, because they had no idea what they were here to do before they started.

But now it's too late to react, Guo Yuanliang, Li San'er, Gao Chong and others will not listen to their explanations.

"Eat dog intestines."

Qi Chou cursed, followed Xue Xian inside, and saw the slave dealers in the courtyard who plundered and sold their beloveds rolling all over the ground.

"Let's catch it." Qi Chou thought to himself.

Anyway, there was no way out, so he simply took out the rope and wanted to step forward to detain someone.

"Xu Shande."

Jiang Hai raised his foot and stepped on Xu Shande, who was still rolling, and grinned, "I remember your name." ”

"Spare me, I can give you money......."

"Huh."

Jiang Hai didn't even say anything, and raised the horizontal knife to chop.

He actually chopped off Xu Shande's head in front of Qi Chou.

"Poof!"

At the same time, Ren Mulan quickly ran to the inner courtyard.

She was familiar with the terrain and looked for Zhang Sanniang, although she had never seen Zhang Sanniang.

Suddenly, in the moonlight, she faintly saw someone dancing, and the person seemed to be holding a sword in his hand, reflecting a sparkling cold light. But it is much more beautiful than her and Jiang Hai's knife making.

This was followed by two screams.

Ren Mulan hurriedly ran there, and when she stepped forward, she saw a little woman about her age standing there.

"Hey, you're ......."

The little woman turned around, threw the knife in her hand, squatted on the ground, and began to cry.

"Who are you?" Ren Mulan asked.

"I ...... My name is Master Zhang, and I am the third in my family....

"Found it!" Ren Mulan was overjoyed and shouted: "I found Zhang Sanniang!" ”

County Offices.

In the middle hall, Gao Chong was still testing Xue Bai's reaction.

But Xue Bai had closed his eyes and was patiently waiting for something.

"Found it!"

Gao Chong turned his head and raised the corners of his mouth confidently.

Sure enough, the person was in Yanshi County, and Zhang Sanniang came to find Xue Bai, and Xue Bai took advantage of this matter to seize power.

These thoughts turned in his mind, and he just turned to the door, only to see Xue Xian covered in blood, carrying a human head in his hand and walking leisurely.

He was in a trance, and he didn't understand how things could still go to the step of murder.

Blood dripped on the green bricks of the middle hall, and the human head was held high, and Gao Chong quickly recognized who died....... Xu Shande.

In an instant, he understood what had happened.

He underestimated Xue Bai, thinking that Xue Bai wanted to reach out for county affairs, but he didn't expect that there would be a knife in his face.

The destruction of the dark house is a demonstration, and it is the announcement of this new county lieutenant.

Gao Chong glared at Xue Bai fiercely, and Xue Bai also opened his eyes and returned a look that he would not give up.

The dark house is usually safe, and there are only some ordinary nursing homes, which allows Xue Bai to sneak attack, but if he doesn't follow the rules, Li San'er of Yanshi County is the most terrifying person.

The two of them were not as tactful as they were when they got along with Lu Linghao, because they knew that they couldn't hide from each other, and they were sharp when they confronted each other.

"I've found Zhang Sanniang!"

Behind Xue Xian was Ren Mulan, helping Zhang Sanniang, who had just been rescued, and behind them were the servants of Yanshi County.

On the contrary, Jiang Hai and those guys, who really did things, did not enter the court at this time, because these people did not need the rewards of the imperial court.

At this point, the matter was in danger, and everyone in the Zhang family hurriedly hugged Zhang Sanniang to suppress the shock and rest.

Cui Youfu crossed his hands and saluted and asked, "Several county officials, Yanshi County ........"

"I'll explain to Linghu Shaoyin later." Gao Chong said with a cold face: "It's not Shou Anwei's turn to talk more." ”

Cui Youfu didn't expect Gao Chong to be so arrogant, smiled faintly, and left.

In fact, with Cui Youfu's situation in Shou Angu, there is really no way to take Gao Chong, it is nothing more than a shelf for the children of the family. At this time, what I was thinking in my heart was that Xue Bai was about to open up the situation, and he might be able to help him........

After settling down everyone, Lu Linghao was already anxious, and did not go back to the middle hall full of blood, but was worried in Ling Jie.

"Mingfu."

Gao Chong strode in and said directly, "I suspect that something is wrong with Zhang Sanniang, like Xue Bai's bureau, he began to move on us, this is an attitude of not dying." Once he took the opportunity to turn the case into a plundering of the minister's daughter, Guo Yuanliang would not be able to clear his name. ”

"I know."

Lu Linghao sighed and said, "I told you a long time ago, do less taboo things, otherwise how can you be so passive?" ”

Gao Chong said: "What's the use of talking about these things now, it's important to clean up the whole thing." ”

"And how are you doing? In front of the Zhang family and county officials, they will get rid of him now? ”

With lofty arrogance, he was also a little helpless about this, and finally smiled slightly and said, "It's okay to let him for a few days, I can afford to wait." ”
