Chapter 400: The County Warden's Lady
Murder is indeed a very serious matter for ordinary people. But for some people, it's not a big deal at all.
Therefore, just to kill a few people, it is obviously not enough for Bai Er, the henchman of the second son of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, to find the guard of a county.
Unless...... It is in the process of killing people, and it will have a very bad effect. Or simply, the identity of the person killed is quite unusual, so this is why someone was sent to the door to greet him in advance.
Therefore, after hearing the words, the county guard did not respond immediately. Instead, he was silent for a long time before he chuckled again and said, "...... In this way, since it is the second son's explanation, the official will naturally open the door to convenience. However, please also ask the second housekeeper Bai to be more considerate, and don't let the official ...... It's too difficult. β
β...... This is natural," Bai Er looked at the county guard for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Since the county guard has spoken, what about it...... Now, please ask the county keeper to come out. There are some things that can be discussed openly and honestly in front of the county guard!"
Madame Zun?!
The county warden of Shanggu County suddenly shrank when he heard this, and it took a long time before he spoke again: "Can you ask...... Why?"
"It's better to wait for Mrs. Zun to arrive, let's talk in person, I think I should come to the county guard, and it won't be too late. Bai Er's smile did not change his course.
β...... It's okay," the county guard waved expressionlessly, signaling his subordinates to summon his wife.
After a short time, the wife of the county guard came to the antechamber.
"Butler Bai Er, the person has arrived, can we talk about it now?" The county guard patted his wife's hand, calmed the other party who was a little unclear, and then said to Bai Er with an expressionless face.
"Of course," Bai Er chuckled, then turned his gaze to the county guard lady who looked a little uncertain, and said, "Yan Baihu, do you want to explain it yourself, or let me help Yan Baihu to reminisce and reminisce." β
100 households?
Although Bai Er didn't say much, these two words alone were enough to cause endless reverie among the county guards of Uegu County.
After all, in the current world, these two words have many meanings of official positions. And the yamen with the official position of 100 households, the first thing that comes to mind is the three internal divisions!
Therefore, for a while, the county guard subconsciously kept a certain distance from his wife. This also made the county guard's wife, who had just flashed a trace of panic in her eyes, her face darken.
At this time, the county guard also reacted quickly, and after taking a deep look at his wife, he turned his gaze to Bai Er again, and his eyes flashed: "Butler Bai...... Is there a mistake, Hongluan is the wife of this official, and she has been with this official for more than 20 years. β
"Lord Gunmar, I hope I'm mistaken, too, but ...... Yan Baihu, aren't you going to say something?" Bai Er chuckled, then squinted and said, "As an elite trained by the Gong Wei Division, Yan Baihu should know very well that since I can accurately call out your official position, you shouldn't take chances."
Or...... Yan Baihu really planned to drag the county guard into the water, but also to do a dying struggle, and bet on whether I would be forced by the pressure of the county guard to let you escape. β
"Second Steward Bai, please be cautious, Hongluan is the wife of this official, if there is no evidence......" The county guard's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he didn't wait for his wife to speak, and gave his warning.
But before he could finish speaking, the county guard's wife on the side finally spoke, interrupting her words: "Zixiu, that's enough, don't say it again." For me, it's not worth it. β
"Hongluan, you ......"
With a few simple words, Mrs. County Guard tore the last trace of luck in the County Guard's heart to shreds. I wanted to say something, but I found that my mind was empty.
"Steward Bai is right, I am indeed a member of the Gong Wei Division, and the official worships a hundred households," the county guard lady said in a low voice: "Zixiu, I'm sorry, I lied to you, I'm sorry." β
"......" The county guard looked at the wife in front of him, and his face struggled for a long time before he turned his head and said to Bai Er on the side: "Steward Bai, this official is indeed guilty of negligence in this matter, and the official will report to the marquis after a while, and ask for punishment." But, you see, the red ...... Yan Baihu has been teaching his husband and children in my Zheng family for nearly 20 years, and he has not ...... You see, there is no chance to fall lightly. As long as you don't die, this official ......"
"Lord County Guard, this is embarrassing me," Bai Er said quietly: "Lord County Guard, you can know that Lord County Guard, the death of Lord Xin, the county lieutenant of Shanggu County, is related to Yan Baihu. β
"What? how is this possible!" Lord Commander's face changed suddenly, and he wanted to say something, but for a while, he didn't know how to say it.
"Master Zheng doesn't have to intercede for me as a sinner anymore...... It's not worth it," and the county keeper also spoke at this time, and then said absolutely: "Butler Bai, all the blame is committed by me alone, and it should be borne by me alone. I also looked at the second son and the Hou Ye of the white housekeeper, and did not implicate others. β
"Yan Baihu is also from the Gong Wei Division, how could he say such naΓ―ve words," Bai Er said with a smile: "Will it implicate other people, Yan Baihu doesn't count if he says it, and it doesn't count if I say it." I have to say it to my son-in-law, or the Hou Ye.
However, if Yan Baihu can contribute to my second son-in-law and Youzhou, I don't mind asking you to say a few kind words in my son-in-law. β
"What do you need me to do?" said the county keeper very simply.
"It's a lot, but what my son-in-law wants to know most now is...... What exactly do the people of the Gong Guard Division want to do?" Bai Er said very simply.
That's right, although Bai Er was able to come directly to the door and find out the county guard's wife, such a hundred households of the Gong Wei Division who had been hidden for twenty years and had not been awakened until today. But it doesn't mean that Bai Li already knows all of Wu Duxiong's plans.
He just grabbed the tail of Wu Duxiong and his party, two of them, through Dutian's peripheral organization.
Then, following these two people, he found most of the others, and through their preparations and actions, he guessed their plan.
But the most critical Wu Duxiong has not yet been settled. I have to say that this person is really vigilant.
And in addition to these, Bai Li also faintly felt that Wu Duxiong also had a deep hidden plan. This plan is the deadliest and most terrifying for Youzhou.
That's why Bai Er asked.
However, Bai Er obviously asked the wrong person, how could such a confidential matter be known to the small hundred households of the county guard's wife. Therefore, the county watchman's reply was, "Kill, kill a list of people, that's all I know." β
"Well, forget it. β
Bai Er himself didn't expect much, and naturally he wouldn't be disappointed much, so he didn't dwell on it and was ready to solve the matter in front of him first. That is, with the power of Mrs. County Guard, she completely wiped out the men and horses of the Gongwei Division headed by Lao Qi.
However, it was at this time that Mrs. County Shou gave Bai Er a surprise, a big surprise.
"By the way, Butler Bai, there is one more thing...... I don't know if it's useful to you. 3 days ago...... Someone up there contacted me and asked me to release a batch of things. β
