put Cao Shu on the Hejian County Palace, and Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao both breathed a sigh of relief.

That night, they waited until dark to return to the county office.

The little lady went to bed early. Cui Pu leaned on Mu Jiaojiao's shoulder aggrievedly, and after complaining miserably about the little lady's love and forgetting her father, she suddenly changed the topic: "You say, do you want to put people in Hejian County King for insurance?"

"In Hailing County, it's the safest place. Even if the Cao family comes, they must be the last to search for the county king's mansion. And...... They don't necessarily have that guts yet. Mu Jiaojiao said.

"That being said, I don't feel very reassured. That old man, he's not the kind of guy who can obediently be at our mercy!"

That being said, it's just ...... "Now that's all it can be." For the rest, let's think about it in the long run when we get there!"

"Hey, I'm almost tired to death in the long run! What kind of is going on every day?" Cui Pu shouted, rubbing his head on her shoulder again, "You're still the best lady." I'm most comfortable and at home with you!"

Me too. Mu Jiaojiao said in his heart, and touched his head.

A few days later, someone from the Cao family really came, and when they entered the door, they shouted majestically: "Cui Zhixian, you hurry up and hand over the thirteen ladies of my family! The thirteen ladies are already from the Shouwang Mansion, and you can't afford to be contaminated!"

Cui Pu glanced at the silent man behind him, and sneered: "What does Steward Cao mean by this? What does your thirteen ladies have to do with this county? This county has never even seen her in her life, so how can you say it?"

Steward Cao also sneered: "Cui Zhixian, you don't have to quibble. We've come all the way, and we've already inquired clearly—my thirteen ladies have come to you!

"Who saw it? You called them in to confront me. Cui Pu said.

Steward Cao was stunned.

It is true that someone saw Cao Shu coming to Hailing County with their own eyes. However, as soon as he said that he wanted them to come and help testify, as soon as those people heard that they were going to the county office, they trembled with fright, and refused to agree no matter how much benefit he offered. In their words –

"This county master is not an ordinary person! Don't you see, the county master of Tianchang County, his relatives are still the favorite concubines of the saints, they can all be dragged and beaten by him, and they are not afraid to chase him to Chang'an. How dare we go against him? We still want to live a few more days, but we still have to settle the matter. ”

Then, he desperately dodged it.

So now, they're coming alone. Although there are witnesses who keep saying that there are witnesses, no one can pull them in.

As for entering the county seat of Hailing County, the situation is even more serious. As long as they asked about the situation of the people in Cui Pu's mansion, those people squinted their eyes and stared at them with the eyes of a villain.

In the end, not only did they not ask for any useful information, but they also had the feeling of being a rat crossing the street out of thin air - they always had a feeling that as long as they dared to say a bad word about Cui Pu, these people would rush up and kill them!

How did Cui Pu educate these county people? How did they all support him like this? The people of Tianchang County still remember him, and now the people of Hailing County have begun to do the same......

He has been in Chang'an for a long time, and he is used to living a pampered life, so he doesn't understand the psychology of these people - Cui Pu, the magistrate, has brought real benefits to the people. Needless to say, the economic income of Tianchang County has been seen, and since the construction and use of the leisure mountain resort in Hailing County, the political status of the entire Hailing County has risen rapidly. In just a few months, there have been a lot more dignitaries and dignitaries coming and going to Hailing County than before, and there are many high-ranking officials who have only heard of their names before. In the eyes of the people of other states and counties around them, they have all become the people next to the nobles. Although I can't get in touch with the nobles for the time being, I can see them from afar! Luckily, I can still hear the nobles talking. This kind of luck can't be bought by any amount of money.

This psychological and status superiority is much more valuable than the money you get. And they are not short of money in Hailing County!

Therefore, they naturally spontaneously defended Cui Pu, the magistrate of the county, - they also expected him to continue to carry forward this cause, so that everyone else would be more and more envious and jealous of them!

Seeing that Steward Cao was dumbfounded by Cui Pu's two words, the person standing quietly slowly spoke: "Cui Xianzun, I am the Gongcao of Shou Wangfu, and this time I specially came to Yangzhou to pick up Cao Thirteen Ladies and go back to Chang'an." Cao Thirteen Niangzi has been married by the Cao family to Xiao Changshi of Shouwang Mansion, you must already know this, right? Xiao Changshi is the right-hand man of His Royal Highness Shouwang, and he has won the trust of Concubine Hui and the saint. This family affair has already passed through the eyes of Concubine Hui, I don't think you want to rob the Xiao family, right?"

Lanling Xiao was different after that, as soon as he opened his mouth, he hit the topic directly, and three bombshells were thrown out in one sentence.

However, did he think that this would blow him up and lose his soul?

Cui Pu was still innocent and helpless. "Gong Cao, what are you talking about, Xia Guan really doesn't understand! That Cao Thirteen Lady is my mother's cousin. But their cousins have always had a bad relationship, and don't you know how much she has suffered under my wife? Moreover, being able to marry Xiao Changshi as his wife is her blessing, and it is also the Cao family's high climbing, how could she refuse? She also ran all the way from Chang'an to Chang'an! She was crazy and stupid, in case the good Lanling Xiao family did not marry, but came to Yangzhou to join Xiaguan, the seven-grade sesame official?"

Hearing him say this, Pei Gongcao was even more convinced that Cao Sanniang must be in Hailing County! After all, ......

"Xiao Changshi has already married a wife and had children. The Cao family promised her to Xiao Changshi as a concubine. ”

"Be a concubine?" Cui Pu immediately exclaimed exaggeratedly, "She is also the lady of the Cao family, how can she be a concubine...... Ah, I'm not saying that Xiao Changshi is bad, but the Cao family will not be so shameless, take a little lady to tie up the Xiao family...... No, no, no, I'm not saying that the Xiao family is bad, and the Cao family is also a face-saving family, how can they be shameless enough to send their little lady to be a concubine......?

This sentence after sentence came out, which made Steward Cao blush, and he became more and more speechless. Pei Gongcao's expression also became embarrassed.

He hurriedly interrupted him in a deep voice: "Cui Xianzun, you don't have to talk about it anymore. Now that this family affair has been decided, there is no room for beaks. Now, you better hurry up and invite Cao Shisanniang out! The saint has always valued you, and Concubine Hui and His Royal Highness King Shou definitely don't want to get along with you. ”

Pulling out Concubine Wu Hui and King Shou so quickly to scare him? How could he ever be afraid of these two people?

Cui Pu's face changed when he heard this: "Are you sure that Cao Thirteen Niangzi is in Hailing County?"

Nonsense! They inquired all the way! Moreover, he is the only one who has the courage to blatantly confront the samurai now. As long as Cao Thirteen Niangzi is not stupid, she will definitely come to them!

Steward Cao and Pei Gongcao nodded together.

"Okay then! If both of them say so, then the lower official will ask someone to search door to door, if Cao Thirteen Niangzi is in Hailing County, the lower official will definitely be able to find her!"

Ahh

Do you still need to search from house to house? Aren't people right here with you?

Pei Gongcao took the opportunity and said: "Since this is the case, why don't you take the lead in Cui Xianzun, let us search your house first?"

"Okay!" Cui Pu readily agreed.

He actually agreed? So happy?

There must be a scam here!

But...... Maybe that's what he's for? Deliberately agreeing so freely is to make them think that people are not here, so they let him go!

Pei Gongcao had countless ideas in his heart in an instant. When Cui Pu's words fell, he nodded: "Since this is the case, then we are welcome!"

It's just that the results of this search are naturally not seen by a single figure. People from all over the county also have the same aspirations to deny that there is a person like Cao Shisanniang.

"It doesn't matter if you don't find it, this Hailing County is big! Don't worry, take your time, find it little by little, and the lower officials promise to fully cooperate until you find Cao Niangzi!" Facing Pei Gongcao and Cao's ugly faces, Cui Pu said with a serious face.

Pei Gongcao can't put on that calm appearance now.

He glanced at Cui Pu coldly: "In that case, we disturbed us today." Now let's go to the post house to rest first, sort out a charter before tomorrow, and come back tomorrow to discuss with Cui Xianzun how to find someone. ”

"Okay, okay!" Cui Pu agreed so happily, "Please go slowly, two." By the way, if you have time, remember to go to the steamed bun shop next to the post house to try the three fresh buns there, which are delicious, and I guarantee that you will want to eat them next time after eating them once!"

are so anxious that their eyebrows are burning, how can they still have the heart to eat steamed buns?

Pei Gongcao dealt with it casually, and hurriedly left with Steward Cao.

The two of them entered the post house and dismissed the idlers, and Pei Gongcao finally cooled down: "The surname Cui hid the person." ”

"That's what I thought, too. It's just that where the person is hidden, how do we know? The whole of Hailing County is protecting him like this, and I am afraid that we will not be able to find out any useful news. "Steward Cao said in frustration.

"Not necessarily. Pei Gongcao shook his head slightly.

Steward Cao hurriedly looked at him. Pei Gongcao said slowly: "On the way over, Wu Erlangjun sent me a letter, telling me that there is a maiden brother of his aunt beside Cui Liu, and the father and son came to him from Chang'an, but they have always been looked down upon by him, and they have done some of the most inferior and stupid jobs over the years. These two men have been hating him for a long time, and if we start with them, maybe we will make progress. ”

Naturally, the actions of these two people could not escape Cui Pu's eyes.

When he learned that they had quietly connected with Zhao Tian's father and son within two days, Cui Pu just smiled.

"This father and son are really hopeless! You say, how am I going to punish them this time?"

"It's all reduced to street sweeping and pouring night incense, and it doesn't seem like there's any better work for them to do now, right?" Mu Jiaojiao frowned.

Cui Pu also sighed: "I knew that they could toss so much, so I took my time." It's so boring to throw them into that position in one go, so that now there's no room to descend another level!"

"Let's take a look at their performance first!Maybe they will surprise you this time!" Mu Jiaojiao said with a smile.

"Is it possible for the two of them?" Cui Pu said he didn't believe it.

But as it turned out – he was really taken aback!

Zhao Tian and his son were guided to Pei Gong Cao, no matter how they coerced and lured, the father and son didn't spit out a word, insisting that Cao Thirteen Niangzi had never been to Hailing County, and they hadn't seen her in the county office!

That's amazing!

"Did the two of them take the wrong medicine?" Cui Pu thought and felt that something was wrong, "I have to gradually get them!

Soon, Zhao Tian's father and son were brought to him.

The father and son have done rough work for several years, and after years of hard work, people have experienced a lot of vicissitudes. But the obscenity of the whole body has not diminished in the slightest.

It was easy to see Cui Pu again, and the father and son immediately smiled greasy on their faces. The little one didn't wait for Cui Pu to rush forward: "Cousin, we didn't betray you yesterday. They paid a hundred dollars, and we didn't say anything!, should you give us some reward?"

"Okay, what reward do you want?" Cui Pu asked.

"Well...... this" Zhao Xiaoliu's flexible eyes purred and turned around, and then turned his gaze to his Lao Tzu.

Zhao Tian said: "County master, you have also seen that your cousin is almost twenty years old! Since he is this age, he should also get married, right? We don't ask for anything else now, just ask you to help be the master and order a family affair for him!"

I see. deliberately did such a thing to invite merit and reward, and wanted to change a good family business. From this point of view, the identity of the little lady they fancy is not ordinary!

Cui Pu wanted to test their appetite, so he bowed his head and said, "Yes." Say, what kind of little lady do you want?"

When Zhao Xiaoliu agreed, he hurriedly said: "Actually, my requirements are not high, I don't ask my lady to be beautiful and smart, I just want her to be gentle and considerate, and she is willing to live a good life with me." ”

"Less nonsense, say your specific standards!"

"That...... I think the little lady who just came to us a few days ago is very good. ”

Depend on!

Cui Pu scolded directly. He actually wants to marry Cao Shu? The toad wants to eat swan meat!

"No way. This family business can't be done. Cui Pu immediately shook his head.

"Then, if she can't do it, then the little mung bean lady next to Madame! I heard that her cooking skills are good, and I will have a few mouthfuls of good food every day after marrying her. ”

Ahh

Mung Bean has now become Mu Jiaojiao's right and left hand after Red Bean, and now I don't know how many people in the house are staring at her! These people line up together, and it won't be his turn until next year!

"This can't be. ”

As he spoke, Cui Pu's heart suddenly moved. couldn't help but look at Zhao Xiaoliu for a long time, and he suddenly laughed out loud: "I haven't seen you for a few years, you kid has grown his ability! Okay, now I'll give you another task, if you do it well, then no matter who you want to marry, as long as you can make her nod and agree to marry you, I will let you go unconditionally, how about it?"
