“Did we say thank you before? If it weren’t for you, I would have died long ago, your business is my business, don’t cry, wait for my news.”
Li Huowang patted the back of Bai Lingmiao’s hand with his hand, then opened his hand and walked outside.
He is not good at expressing love, but he doesn’t want what he experienced to happen again to Bai Lingmiao, that feeling is really too uncomfortable.
Bai Lingmiao hurriedly followed, and asked with a worried voice: “Brother Li, do you know where my parents are?”
“Don’t know.”
“Then how to find it?”
“Don’t worry, I’m a person with status now, and I’ll find a solution.” Li Huowang took out Jian Tiansi’s badge and waved it at Bai Lingmiao.
The sudden disappearance of a villager is not a trivial matter. The county magistrate in charge of Niuxin Village must know something, and he can start from there for the time being.
Li Huowang pulled out a horse, glanced at the map and got on the horse.
He doesn’t know how to ride a horse, but it doesn’t matter, it will be fine if he falls a few more times, others will hurt his muscles and bones, but he doesn’t matter,
Stumbled and stumbled, day and night passed, and when the sky gradually became brighter, Li Huowang finally arrived at the largest county town nearby.
Looking at the small town in front of him, the dusty Li Huowang walked in leading the horse rope.
Wang Zhixian woke up, and without opening his eyes, he kicked lightly under the quilt, and the concubine who was sleeping on the other side got out of bed quickly, and knelt on the ground with his forehead on the floor. “Master please change clothes,”
Wang Zhixian opened his eyes faintly, and sat up with the support of his wife and concubine’s soft palms. When he stretched out his hand, a willow branch that had already been peeled was delivered to his hand.
Using a willow branch to gently stick to the fine salt in the maid’s hand, stuff it into her mouth and draw it up and down against her teeth.
When she saw that Wang Zhixian was almost scratching, the maid hurriedly picked up the red sandalwood spittoon that she had already prepared.
After taking a sip of warm water and shaking his cheeks, he lowered his head and spat into the spittoon.
When Wang Zhixian closed his eyes slightly, the maid holding the towel carefully wiped the face towel.
The maid who wiped her face stepped back, and the changing maid who held the official uniform slowly came up.
After the seven or eight servant girls retreated, he walked out of the bedroom in a dark blue official uniform.
As soon as he left the house, a wave of heat hit his face. He looked up at the high sun, and a trace of displeasure appeared on his face.
“Today is such a big sun again, and there will be a few days to feel more comfortable.”
After he finished speaking, he walked forward, and the two maids with fans hurriedly stepped up to follow.
Within a few steps, he arrived at the big wooden desk where he usually works. His right-hand assistant, Mr. Hu, had been waiting for a long time.
“Tell me, has anyone been beating the drum to file a complaint recently?”
Master with a mustache showed a smirk on his face. “Going back to my master, I only have one piece today, and the accuser stuffed it with ten taels of silver.”
“Oh?” Wang Zhixian took a few mouthfuls of crystal clear jelly and said slowly, “Then who is the defendant?”
“The defendant is a horse dealer who dumped horses from Qingqiu. He gave one or two, but one or two is gold.”
“Well~! Today’s jelly is not bad! It’s a pity that the quantity is a bit small.”
Hearing this, Mr. Hu immediately understood and said: “Understood, master, I know how to tell them in private.”
After speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and began to read the pleadings.
While shaking his head and listening to the pleadings, Wang Zhixian saw a man leaning out from the ground.
Seeing this strange scene, Wang Zhixian was taken aback for a moment, then panicked again, and finally stood up abruptly, spilling the bowl of jelly in his hand all over the table.
“Who is here! How dare you kill the imperial court official! Supervisor Tiansi will never let it go!”
Looking at the trembling man in front of him, Li Huowang didn’t want to talk nonsense with him, so he took out the sign and showed it in front of him. “Ask you something.”
Seeing the badge in Li Huowang’s hand, Wang Zhixian immediately got out from behind the master, with a flattering smile on his face. “Ah~ It’s the master of Tiansi, master, hurry up and serve tea!”
“Don’t bother me, let me ask you, why are those people in Niuxin Village gone? They’ve been gone for so long, don’t you know?”
Hearing this, the other party was obviously taken aback, and then whispered to the master in a low voice. “Master, what happened to Niuxin Village?”
“Master, have you forgotten? The whole village disappeared for some reason. You asked Catcher Cao to investigate this matter. He wanted to tell you something before. You didn’t have time at that time.” Listen.”
“Then what are you doing in a daze, get Cao Xin back quickly!”
“Cao Butou is going to patrol the streets this time! I really don’t know where he is.”
Hearing this, Wang Zhixian showed an embarrassed smile to Li Huowang. “Master, how about I take you to catch Cao? This matter is under his control,”
“Let’s go, hurry up, I don’t have time to delay.” Seeing Li Huowang going out, Wang Zhixian and Master Hu quickly followed.
“哐~” a piercing rumble sounded.
“Know~county~old~father~out~door~”
Under this purposely elongated voice, Wang Zhixian, who was wearing an official hat, bent down and sat on a blue sedan chair.
Just halfway through sitting, he turned around again, smiled at Li Huowang and said, “Master, why don’t you sit down?”
“Hurry up and get on the sedan chair, I don’t have time to delay.”
“Hey, hey.” Wang Zhixian, who was laughing inwardly, sat on the sedan chair, but before he could sit still, Li Huowang’s words scared him out of his wits.
“With so many people gone, didn’t you report to Tiansi?”
Wang Zhixian panicked when he heard that he was suspected of blaming the blame.
“Master, this matter is still being investigated. If nothing is found out, report it. If you make a mistake, it’s okay for the subordinates to suffer. If you make your trip in vain, it’s not a delay.” Bigger?”
“Oh, I’m really sorry, it’s all because Xiaguan’s subordinates are useless, and it’s a waste of time to investigate the case, so the master has to come in person.”
“When the work is over, I will go to Fubailou to hold a banquet to make amends, and I will punish myself with three cups!”
Li Huowang waved forward impatiently, “Let’s go.”
If I hadn’t heard what the headhunter had discovered, I would have been too lazy to talk to such a talkative person.
As the bearers moved synchronously, the sedan chair creaked and shook up and down.
The entire county is not big, so it is not difficult to find a head catcher who patrols the streets. Soon Li Huowang saw the head catcher in green who was standing at the door of a brothel, laughing with the women inside.
Seeing the sedan chair of the county magistrate, the head catcher and the catcher suddenly became solemn, and quickly straightened their hats, walked squarely and began to patrol the streets seriously.
“Ah, magistrate.” Cao Butou clasped his fists and bowed to the sedan chair beside him.
“Magistrate, you came out so early to observe the people’s situation, but you must not wear yourself out for the people.”
“Hey, what’s the point of me suffering for the sake of the common people?” Seeing Li Huowang’s face darkened, he quickly asked seriously: “Cao Butou, you have to find out about the disappearance of Niuxin Village. What?”
“Your boy will answer after thinking about it, this is an expert who came here to deal with this matter and self-supervise Tiansi!”
“Huh?” Cao Butou looked at Li Huowang in astonishment.
“But the person who took away a village of Niuxin Village is Jian Tiansi.”
