Chapter 8: Picking Up and Returning Home

After Li Gongfu led the crow head out of the small cave room, he handed her the clothes in his hand and said with a smile: "Crow head, can you help me give these clothes to those sisters?"

Raven nodded, took the bag of clothes in his arms, and walked towards the group of women still cowering in the corner. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Li Gongfu and Dong Lin naturally didn't have a reason to see a group of girls changing clothes, and immediately retreated to the Yongdaokou where they came in to avoid.

The two stood facing out, and Li Gongfu whispered the origin of the crow's head, and asked in a low voice, "What does Deacon Dong think of this child?"

He entered the public office at the age of twelve, and he has long been well versed in the principles of "knowing people and knowing faces, but not knowing their hearts" and "the heart of guarding against people is indispensable", although the little girl behaved pitifully, but he still had a trace of vigilance in his heart.

Dong Lin is also an old bird who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, as soon as he heard this brainless question, he immediately understood what the other party meant, and also lowered his voice and asked: "There is no demonic energy, there is no doubt that it should be a human being." ”

Li Gongfu breathed a sigh of relief, and asked about the results of Dong Lin's inquiry about those women.

Dong Lin sighed: "Although those women only know a little bit about it, I have already guessed a rough idea. After the fox demon took them captive, he forced them to learn the trick of seducing men. The reason why this is so should be that he intends to use these women as a medium to use the Yin and Evil Sect methods to increase his own cultivation. Fortunately, we came in time, according to what those women said, the fox demon will take them to the north in the past two days, and then we will really be out of reach. ”

Speaking of this, he sent a green cloth package that he had been carrying in his hand to Li Gongfu: "The matter has been settled here, and the aftermath will be reported to Yang Xianzun for proper disposal, and Dong will say goodbye." Here are some gold and silver utensils that we have just found from this cave, which should be the daily use of the fox demon. My 'Heavenly Punishment Division' has a lot of salary, but there is no shortage of these yellow and white things, so I sent them to Li Zhutou and your subordinates, which can be regarded as the reward for accompanying us for our hard work. ”

Li Gongfu observed his words and knew that the other party really didn't take these things to heart, so he didn't shirk it, and accepted it very comfortably after saying thank you.

Dong Lin saw that Li Gongfu was not very old, but he acted quite generously and decently, and only then did he help him kill a shape-shifting fox demon, and the more he looked at him, the more pleasing he became, so he smiled again: "Dong Mou is big, call Li Zhutou brother, with your ability, it is inevitable to be a small county government catcher." I, the Heavenly Punishment Division, have to recruit new blood every year to replenish our strength, and in three months, it will be time to recruit new people. My Hangzhou branch has three recommended places according to the rules, if Brother Li is interested, you may wish to come to the Hangzhou branch to register. Although Dong is not talented, he still has some face, and he should be able to win a place for his brother. ”

When Li Gongfu heard this, he pondered for a moment, and then changed his title: "Brother Dong has a good intention, and the younger brother is very grateful." It's just that this matter is not small, and the younger brother still needs to discuss it with his family, I don't know ......"

Dong Lin nodded and said, "That's how it should be, as long as Brother Li makes a decision within this month, he will tell his brother again." ”

immediately told Li Gongfu how to contact him.

Li Gongfu kept it in mind, and then thanked him again.

Dong Lin said goodbye, turned around and walked out of the cave first.

Li Gongfu waited for the women to finally put on their clothes, and then led them out of the cave.

Although they were only taken captive overnight, when they saw the sun outside the cave again, these women were also very excited, and one by one they cried with joy again.

It was easy to wait until they had collected their tears, and then Li Gongfu led nine catchers to escort them down the mountain.

It's just that the mountain road of Beauty Peak is rugged, and these delicate and expensive women have a hard time walking. It took nearly two hours to get out of the mountains.

Li Gongfu knew that if he used it, he was afraid that he would not be able to return to the county seat until dark, so he ordered his two men to rent a few ox carts from a nearby village, let the women sit on the carts, and hurry to Qiantang County.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when they returned to the county office, the families of these women had already heard the news. For a while, the sound of calling the grandfather and calling the child was endless, and the scene of hugging and crying abounded, and there was chaos in front of the county office.

But as far as the county magistrate Yang Xingzhi is concerned, this chaos is a joy to see, and only in this way can the news of the disappearance of the girl detected by the county magistrate in one day be spread, and this great political achievement can be finalized and implemented.

After each family thanked each family and returned home, Li Gongfu went to the back hall and reported the incident to Yang Xingzhi, and finally took out a set of specially selected precious wine utensils inlaid with gold and treasures from his arms and said: "The next servant found this set of utensils from the fox demon's cave, and he didn't dare to deal with it without permission, so he specially brought it back to ask the adult to adjudicate." ”

Yang Xingzhi was obviously extremely satisfied with the ability and attitude of this powerful subordinate, and after a few words of encouragement, he ordered him to go down and rest. Li Gongfu took the opportunity to ask for a day off tomorrow for a little recuperation, and Yang Xingzhi was also accurate, without the slightest difficulty.

Coming out of the back hall and out of the gate of the county office, Li Gongfu saw the crow's head curled up on the side of the stone steps under the door, trembling like a homeless puppy. He frowned and stepped forward and asked, "Crowhead, didn't I hand you over to Master Zhu and ask him to help you find your place of origin?"

The crow head said pitifully: "Master Zhu said that he would send an official document to Shandong Dao to inquire about this matter, and asked me to find a place to settle down and wait for the news." ”

Li Gongfu secretly scolded that Zhu Zhi was cold-blooded and cold-blooded, and drove a little girl to the street like this, and didn't want to think about how she could support herself alone.

After a slight hesitation, he said gently, "If you don't have a place to stay, can you go home with me first?"

A look of joy appeared on the crow's face, and the little head desperately connected the dots.

Li Gongfu asked the crow head to wait at the door for a while, and then turned back to the yamen to summon a subordinate catcher, and told him to find a restaurant and order some wine and food to send to his home.

Na Kuai was also one of the nine people who followed Li Gongfu out this time, and on the way back, Li Gongfu gave each of them a piece of gold and silver utensils. At this moment, seeing that Li Gongfu had something to use himself, he naturally promised to come down and run hard.

Li Gongfu walked out of the yamen and led the crow's head to his home. When he arrived at the door, he went straight to knock on the door of Xu's house. Although Crowhead was only a teenager, it was always a little inconvenient to live in the home of a single man, and he thought about handing her over to Xu Jiaorong at the beginning.

A moment later, Xu Jiaorong opened the door and greeted him. She also heard about this big case that shook the entire Qiantang County, and her heart had been hanging for Li Gongfu, and at this moment, seeing him return safely, she finally put her heart at ease and happily let Li Gongfu and the crow head into the house.

When he got inside, Li Gongfu first told Xu Jiaorong about the crow's life, and then said his plan to take in the child.

Xu Jiaorong was kind-hearted, although she knew that for an already unfortunate day, one more person would be an extra burden, but she did not hesitate to agree.

Li Gongfu handed over the bag of gold and silver utensils he left behind to Xu Jiaorong, and with this windfall, they could live a little more comfortably in the near future.
