The town is not a county seat, so there is no yamen, but there is a township office, the township government is responsible for the safety of the town and each village, if anyone has a dispute with whom, after reporting to the township government, the township government will coordinate, if the coordination is not down, you have to go to the county government to fight a lawsuit.

The township of Hongye Town is in the middle of the town, its scale is not large, and it is quite ordinary, if it were not for the plaque on the door with the word "Xiangya", others would still think that this is a private house.

Xia Chen and the others followed the middle-aged man and others to the door of the township office.

The middle-aged man gestured and stretched: "Three please!"

Xia Chen arched his hand and made a gesture of please.

After the middle-aged man instructed his brothers on patrol affairs, he led Xia Chen and the three of them up the steps, and then walked into the gate of the township office.

"Mayor Mare!"

The middle-aged man took Xia Chen and the three of them to the front of the hall and called out to another middle-aged man standing in the hall.

The middle-aged man in the hall faced the desk, his back to the door, his left hand behind his back, and his right hand holding his chin to think about things.

When he heard someone call him, he turned around, and when he saw three strangers, he frowned, and then he stepped out to meet him.

Xia Chen and the three of them happened to walk to the front steps of the hall.

Xia Chen looked at the mayor, and there was a little melancholy between his eyebrows, presumably because something was bothering him and making him feel uncomfortable.

"The captain has returned from patrol, and it's been a great job!" said the mayor to the captain, "who are these three?"

The captain clenched his fists and reported: "These three are outsiders, they passed through our Red Leaf Town, and they wanted to have a meal, so I was afraid that something would happen, so I brought them back." ”

"Oh?" the mayor glanced at Xia Chen and the three of them for a moment, and then invited them to the hall to take a seat.

"Mayor Town, is there something going on?" As soon as Xia Chen took his seat, he went straight to the topic and asked about the mayor.

The mayor ordered someone to serve tea, then sighed, and said: "Alas, the three of you don't know, since about seven days ago, young women have disappeared in our town and surrounding villages, and by last night, seven women have disappeared, and we are now strengthening the protection of young women in all families, and at the same time let them try not to go out, but it is impossible to prevent it! Sometimes they can disappear during the day!"

Xia Chen couldn't help but be stunned, this sounded like a flower thief!

Zhou Hongyu said: "No wonder there are no young women on the street in Xiajian Guizhen, it turns out that it is because of this." ”

The captain also said helplessly: "If we can't solve the case in two days, the management of this town will have to be handed over, and the key will be to lose the support of the people." ”

"That ......," Jin Ziyue said at this time, "what kind of management rights do you have over the town? By the way, before answering this question, can you bring me something to eat? I've been hungry for most of the day!"

The town and the captain were stunned for a moment, and then the mayor said apologetically, "Let people prepare on the next horse!"

"Then it's a problem for the mayor. Jin Ziyue nodded in satisfaction.

"The mayor of the town is changed every three years, and if you do well and win the hearts of the people, you can be re-elected once. And after becoming the mayor of the town, he has to shoulder the responsibility of ensuring the safety of the people. ”

Jin Ziyue took a sip of tea and said, "In this way, the one who can become the mayor of the town is also a person with family power, otherwise where will he have the ability to keep the people safe?"

This is actually similar to the situation of the Seven Star Islands. If the Jin and Zi families don't be patriarchs and elders, the other families don't have such great ability, and it will be more tricky to deal with the merman.

"How many big families are there in Red Leaf Town?" Jin Ziyue continued to ask.

"Our Zhao family is one of them, in addition, there are also the Qian family, the Sun family, and the Li family. The mayor said truthfully.

"All four of you have been mayors, haven't you?"

Listening to Jin Ziyue's question, the mayor couldn't help but ask, "What does the girl mean, is there someone in the other three families who are playing ghosts?"

Jin Ziyue hurriedly corrected, "The mayor misunderstood! I didn't say that. She put down the teacup, "You can't be too absolute, but you can't be defenseless!"

Xia Chen couldn't help but nod lightly when he heard what Jin Ziyue said.

This Nizi is really more reliable at a critical moment.

The mayor said: "The four of us have always been good friends and have never had any entanglements, not to mention that all four of us are doing different businesses. Moreover, since the establishment of the town, each family has had at least one mayor. After thinking for a while, he added, "However, it makes sense to listen to the girl's words." ”

"Mayor Mare. At this time, the patrol captain stood up and arched his hand, "Why don't we pay close attention to the recent movements of the other three, if there is anything suspicious." ”

After thinking about it, the mayor of the town let out a "hmm", and then said: "Pay attention to this matter, don't be too public, so as not to spoil the relationship." ”

"Yes! My subordinates will arrange it!" said the patrol captain, and after saying goodbye to them, he walked out of the hall.

Shortly after the captain of the patrol had left, a servant of the mayor's house came to tell him that lunch had been prepared.

So the mayor stood up and said to Xia Chen and the others: "The three of you have just arrived, and Zhao will invite you to a banquet, and I hope you will enjoy your face." ”

Xia Chen arched his hand and said, "Mayor Zhao is serious, it should be that we are disturbing." ”

"Hey, it's a pleasure to have friends from afar. Three please!"

"Mayor Zhao, please!"

Walking to the dining room, the four of them sat down one after another.

The dishes are quite rich, and all four of them served nine dishes, including meat dishes and vegetables.

"I don't know what the three of them are called, where do they come from?"

"Under the surname Xia. ”

Xia Chen looked at Zhou Hongyu and Jin Ziyue and introduced, "This girl's surname is Zhou, and the girl next to her is surnamed Jin, we are from Zhongzhou City, and we want to go to Wanzhou to find relatives." ”

The mayor filled the wine glass in front of them: "At the next glance, the three are extraordinary people, so there is a reluctant ......"

Speaking of this, the mayor did not continue, but looked at Xia Chen and the others.

How did Xia Chen and the three of them not know the town mayor's abacus.

Zhou Hongyu asked, "Do you want us to help you find out about the disappearance of a young woman in your town?"

The mayor stood up and looked at them deeply: "I can see from below that the three are disciples from famous and decent families, otherwise they wouldn't be so calm in dealing with people, so, please three of them!"

Jin Ziyue pursed her mouth, leaned sideways to Xia Chen's ear, and whispered, "Routine!"

Xia Chen glanced at her with disdain: "It's not because you're hungry and now you're in someone's dining room, it's because you eat someone's soft mouth." ”

Listening to Xia Chen's words, Jin Ziyue couldn't speak with her mouth open, she still has little experience in the rivers and lakes!

Zhou Hongyu stood up: "Mayor Zhao, please get up." She glanced at Xia Chen, as if asking for his opinion.

Xia Chen motioned for her to take the idea, and everything was done according to her wishes.

Zhou Hongyu, who got Xia Chen's signal, pursed his lips and said, "Okay, let's stay for two days for the time being and help you find out about this matter!"
