Chapter 541: Suspicious Qiupu County II
glanced at Duan Linrui, the commander of Qiupu County, and hurriedly introduced to them that Mu Yirong and the others were officials from the capital, and they came here to ......
Speaking of this, Qiupu County made Duan Linrui pause suddenly, and said embarrassedly, he forgot to ask Mu Yirong what business the two of them were here?
A month ago, there was such a big thing as a thief killing people and stealing goods near Qiupu County, and this Qiupu County made Duan Linrui forget about it like this, which was really speechless.
Duan Linrui, who was embarrassed by Qiupu County, was embarrassed again that the case had been taken over by Chizhou City, so he didn't take it to heart.
"The bandits are killing people outside the city, aren't you afraid and worried at all?"
Seocho looked at the aunts of Qiupu County who were watching them with a wary face, and asked the doubts in their hearts.
An aunt with a round face and dark hair heard Seocho's question, and asked them why they were worried?
Ruicao, who also showed a suspicious face, was about to speak again, when Duan Linrui, the commander of Qiupu County, took over the conversation, and said that the gang of thieves with one ear and green water dragon had never harassed Qiupu County, so everyone didn't take them seriously.
The round-faced aunt who nodded hurriedly said that this is what she meant, although she heard that there was a group of bandits near the county seat, but that group of bandits had never entered the city to harass the people of the county, and everyone had almost forgotten their existence.
The other aunts also chimed in, saying that they had only heard the name of the bandits, but they had never seen them, so they had forgotten that such a group of people had lived outside the county.
Duan Linrui, the smiling Qiupu County Commander, asked the aunts not to make noise to the officials of Dali Temple, and asked them to go to the back first to continue pickling vegetables, and he would ask someone to come over to help later.
glanced at the aunts who glanced at Mu Yirong and Seocho, still with a vague vigilance on their faces, and walked back step by step, and when they saw Mu Yirong and Seocho looking at them, they all showed a smile.
It's just that the smile looks particularly fake, just like the smile shown by the craftsman carving the same arc on the puppet with the corners of his mouth, without a trace of temperature.
Mu Yirong and Seocho looked at the strangeness of the aunts in their eyes, glanced at each other, and didn't say anything.
At this time, four or five officials wearing official uniforms walked in, and one of the leaders was carrying a freshly hunted pheasant in his hand, and he was about to show off to Duan Linrui, the commander of Qiupu County, with a happy face, when he saw Mu Yirong and Ruicao standing beside the county commander, and immediately looked the two up and down with defensive eyes.
It's not that the neighbors of Qiupu County are very harmonious, and there will be no cases all year round, why are the people here so wary when they see outsiders?
Qiupu County ordered Duan Linrui to introduce Mu Yirong and the two to the officials again, and heard that the two were officials from Dali Temple in Shangjing, the officials hurriedly bent down and saluted, showing the same smile on their faces as the aunts, seeing that Mu Yirong was panicked, and said that all of you in the county are zombies and have become essences, why are they all so stiff and ugly!
After the salute, the official was sent by the county commander Duan Linrui to help the aunt pickle vegetables in the back.
Several of the officials who left also turned back three times in one step, and when they found that Mu Yirong and Seocho were also looking at them, they also showed the same stiff smile of the zombies before.
Duan Linrui, who was smiling and blocking the sight of Mu Yirong and the others, was very sorry to say that the official uniform on his body was stained because of the pickles, and the smell was a little unpleasant. But his other official uniform has been washed and has not yet dried, so he can only wear this one now. If Mu Yirong and Seocho really can't stand the smell, he will go and change to a set of regular clothes.
Mu Yirong shook his head and said that it didn't matter, and after sitting down, he immediately asked about the gang of bandits with an eared green water dragon.
Duan Linrui, the commander of Qiupu County, who drank a sip of hot tea, said that when the gang of thieves first arrived near the county seat and occupied the mountain as the king, they had stepped on it a little bit in Qiupu County.
However, when they found out that this part of Qiupu County was not much better than ordinary small villages, they did not come to harass the people.
As he spoke, he asked Mu Yirong and the others to sit and wait for a while, and he went to the back hall to get some files.
Duan Linrui, the commander of Qiupu County, who stood up, didn't take two steps before turning around and said, "Two adults, it's not early today, please stay and have dinner together for a while!"
Mu Yirong, who didn't refuse, nodded, and Duan Linrui, the commander of Qiupu County, turned around with a smile, but turned around suddenly without taking a few steps: "The villagers here rarely see outsiders, and they will be a little wary at first, don't mind." When you get acquainted with them, you will feel a headache, and then they will definitely pull you to look at their boys and girls, hoping that you will not be frightened by their enthusiasm. ”
After saying these words, Duan Linrui, the commander of Qiupu County, turned around with a smile, and said to himself as he walked: "It's been a long time since there has been such a handsome and beautiful baby in the village. ”
Looking at the back of Duan Linrui, the commander of Qiupu County, who turned into the back hall, Mu Yirong's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, and he felt that the words of the Qiupu County Order, for some reason, made people feel a little uncomfortable.
"Do you see there's something wrong with him?"
Mu Yirong asked Seocho in a whisper, Seocho shook her head, and then she lowered her voice as well.
"Do you think that the bandits of the one-eared green water dragon have something to do with Qiupu County?"
Before, Mu Yirong had been thinking about a problem, that is, according to Ah Yu, he invited rescue soldiers from Chizhou City, and when he returned to the place where the robbed dart was, there was not even a drop of blood on the ground where the corpses should be strewn all over the field, as if someone had shoveled away the entire ground.
This matter is very incomprehensible, so Mu Yirong, who was thinking from a different angle, suddenly thought that the people who shoveled away the land and cleaned up the scene were not necessarily the same people.
It was the bandits such as the one-eared green water dragon who killed the people, and there were other people who cleaned up the scene.
There are a lot of people in this group, they may be an accomplice of a blue-eared water dragon, or they may not want people to know that there have been bandits killing people and goods in Sankesong.
Who would want to cover up the murder and robbery of the bandits?
Mu Yirong glanced at the back hall of the Yamen, if the Qiupu County Commander hid one ear Qingshui Long and others in order to cover up the vicious case of thieves killing people and stealing goods in his jurisdiction, and cleaned up the scene, it was not impossible.
Or, Qiupu County Ling Duan Linrui is an accomplice of a blue-eared water dragon!
Duan Linrui, who went and returned, also brought back a person to introduce to Mu Yirong and Ruicao that this was the official of the Yamen, and the famous work was called longevity, and he would be responsible for taking care of all the affairs of Mu Yirong and the others in Qiupu County.
At the age of about fifty years of longevity, his hair is a little gray, and the smile on his face gives people the feeling of old fritters.
Duan Linrui, the commander of Qiupu County, said that it was to facilitate Mu Yirong and the two to work in Qiupu County, but Mu Yirong just felt that this was inserting eyeliner around them.
In the past, when Mu Yirong investigated a case, he rarely suspected a person very clearly.
But this time, Mu Yirong can be very sure that there is a problem with Duan Linrui in Qiupu County.
Duan Linrui, the commander of Qiupu County, who seemed to be normal, unfolded the file on the table after Changshou and Mu Yirong greeted them.
Dao He went to check the mother Xu mentioned by Ah Yu before, and there was indeed a person, but when she was six or seven years old, she was sold to Renyazi, and then there was no news of the bird, and the family thought she died outside.
