In the peaceful village, the villagers were working as usual, or taking a break to talk.
At this moment, someone exclaimed and shouted loudly.
"Everyone, look what is that?"
Many people were startled by the sound and looked in all directions.
In a moment, someone noticed a group of people appearing on the mountain path made of wide bluestone slabs.
A high-spirited and uniform army. Surrounded in the middle are exquisitely crafted, luxurious and gorgeous sedan chairs.
Everything looks so familiar.
"I've seen this before. This is the witch's sedan chair."
Someone shouted in disbelief, waking up everyone present.
Many people seemed to be crazy and rushed directly towards the team.
The fanaticism was a little unreasonable, but the soldiers didn't take it to heart. He directly intercepted the person and carefully escorted the sedan away.
Although these soldiers are ordinary people, they do not have any special abilities. However, no matter what aspect, they are obviously different from ordinary farmers.
In other words, that is the difference between martial arts people and ordinary people. One is strong and the other is weak, they are incomparable.
It is naturally impossible to walk or be carried to a place hundreds of miles away. In the middle of the journey, before they had gone very far, the six of them changed carriages, and the soldiers also mounted their horses and galloped directly towards the main road in the city.
In less than half an hour, the group passed through the township and arrived at the county government office in the nearby city. After the whole process, it did not achieve the effect of being simple and simple, but on the contrary, I felt more energetic than at the beginning.
As a county official, he was shocked when he saw six gorgeous carriages.
This is not a big case, so why are six wizards or witches here? Could it be that there is something hidden in this
The magistrate understood instantly when he saw that the people coming out of the carriage were either young girls or children, not the adult witches or wizards he expected.
However, even a miko or wizard who is not yet an adult cannot be underestimated and must be treated with care and kindness. We must also grasp this degree, neither flattery nor alienation.
Who knows what strange abilities these witches have, or whether they have connections that are incomprehensible.
Back then, there was a second-grade official who did something to harm the family of a civilian wizard, leaving only the wizard alive.
The wizard was also a ruthless character, risking his life to curse the entire family of this third-grade official. It only took a month for the other party's family to live in peace, and they all bled to death.
If it weren't for the backlash against this wizard, he would have died at a young age. Otherwise, others would not be able to find out about this matter, and it would just be treated as an unsolved case.
It is said that when this incident was exposed, countless people were panicked and unable to sleep peacefully. On weekdays, I am more cautious when dealing with witches.
Thinking of this, the county magistrate shuddered and soon became annoyed. What does he want to do? Although Wu has different abilities, he is also an ordinary person in other aspects! Even if he is slightly offended, he will not risk his life to regain face for himself.
He led everyone to sit down one by one in the backyard of the county government office. While thinking about the mess, he warmly entertained the six people.
During this process, Sun Caixia and He Tingxiao seemed to be a little restless, as if they had encountered something and felt uncomfortable. It looked like he would run away if his voice was louder.
Zhou Baoer puffed out his cheeks like a little hamster, eating snacks that he couldn't eat on weekdays. His beautiful big eyes were almost like stars. On the contrary, I didn't feel much about the warm reception from the county magistrate, I just thought it was natural.
Even more natural than her were the other three people. Obviously, their family background is not simple. They have seen many such scenes. They looked very calm and indifferent, as stable as a mountain.
After less than half the time of burning the incense, the county magistrate remembered the business and immediately sent someone to find Master Xing and asked Master Xing to talk about the theft case.
When Master Xingming heard this, he immediately bowed to the six people and started to explain everything in detail.
There was a wealthy family in the city, a family named Zhang, and the person who made the decision was Mrs. Zhang in the family. She established a female household and had a husband-in-law who was well-known as a scholar. There is also a fourteen-year-old son who will be married and have children in two years.
Mrs. Zhang's surname is Zhang, and she does not use her husband's surname in front of the title. This is the clear difference between establishing a female household and marrying someone else.
I won’t go into details about this, but now let’s talk about the circumstances of the theft case.
Madam Zhang's child is fourteen years old, and now it's time to see her. In order to give the woman who had not yet appeared a decent betrothal gift, she decided to go to the warehouse for a walk.
The Zhang family has a ledger, and Mrs. Zhang naturally reads it every day. However, it is impossible to go to the warehouse every day. The Zhang family has a big business and no one has that much time.
A few days ago, Madam Zhang took people on a walk through the warehouse, and it didn't take long before she discovered something was wrong. Some of the precious things in the warehouse have actually turned from genuine to fake.
Those things all seem true at first glance, but in fact they are false. As long as someone with some discernment looks at it carefully, they will be able to detect something wrong.
Madam Zhang was born into a wealthy family, and she has been influenced by her ears and eyes since she was a child, and she still has some discernment. She quickly discovered something was wrong, and quickly asked people to guard her disciples. She wanted to find out who had transferred the things in the house.
The Zhang family's wife is not capable of such things as investigating crimes. As for other people, they don't have this ability. After a few hours, things came to a standstill. Not only was the murderer not found, it also disrupted the daily life of the house.
The lady had no choice but to report it to the government, hoping that the government could resolve the matter for her. It's a pity that the government went in and found the murderer, but there was no way to find it. They had no other choice, so they found Huai'an Academy and wanted to ask wizards or witches for help.
There are people coming from Huai'an Academy, but they are all children, there are no adult wizards or witches. Although the people in the government were a little disappointed, they were not too disappointed. Even underage wizards or witches have abilities that ordinary people don't have.
As soon as Master Xing Ming finished speaking, Zhou Baoer put down the cake in his hand with an expressionless face and asked.
"Master, have you finished speaking?"
The first person to speak was actually a girl, a girl who looked to be only five years old.
Both the others and Master Xing Ming were a little stunned and thought this matter was a bit weird.
However, ordinary people cannot understand the internal affairs of witches. Even if they are full of doubts, they dare not speak out in front of witches or wizards.
Therefore, Master Xingming nodded, bowed respectfully, and said.
"I've already finished my reply to the miko."
Zhou Baoer nodded like a young adult and tried his best to look majestic. But even if it is decorated with mysterious patterns, it still can't get rid of that childish and cute temperament.
"Take us to the Zhang Family Mansion. We must handle the case as soon as possible to prevent the murderer from becoming bold enough to commit crimes against the wind."
Master Xing Ming did not answer, but immediately looked at the magistrate sitting at the top. After receiving the instructions from the superior, Fangcai nodded, pointed forward and said.
"Dear wizards and witches, please."
Zhou Baoer stood up from his seat first and walked out with his younger brother He Tingxiao.
Sun Caixia immediately followed, followed by Du Lingbo, Jiang Qinghua and Liang Guchun.
Under the leadership of the government officials, the six people quickly got on the carriage they came from. Under the escort of the army, they arrived at the Zhang family where the Zhang family's wife made the decision.
Halfway through, Liang Guchun shook his head, which was much larger than an ordinary person's, thinking about Zhou Baoer's performance in the past few months.
This school girl who is much younger than him seems to be a bit competitive! He also has a very strong desire for expression, always consciously or unconsciously enhancing his sense of existence, and seems to want to be the center of everyone.
"The little girl's little thoughts, tsk~"
Liang Guchun shook his head and quickly put the matter behind him. If it was an older boy, he might suspect that the other party wanted to conquer them. But that was just a little girl less than five years old, and she really couldn't threaten anyone.
The motorcade stopped in front of the gate of Zhang's Mansion, and a government servant immediately knocked on the door and asked someone to report. After a while, a lady in her thirties, a man of about the same age, and a young man came out of the house and welcomed them in respectfully.
Zhou Baoer walked out of the carriage, glanced at the three gorgeously dressed people, and thought to himself: These must be the three members of the Zhang family.
All the way into the reception area of the mansion, the person responsible for receiving guests is the Zhang family's wife. She is the head of the Zhang family, the owner of this luxurious mansion.
On the contrary, it is the son-in-law beside Mrs. Zhang whose presence is very, very low. In addition, he didn't speak during the whole journey and just stayed by his side quietly, which made everyone's impression of him even lower.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Baoer circled between the couple again, and gained a deeper understanding of the opposing female households. No wonder grandma told the outside world that she would set up a female household. It turned out that this was how to set up a female household.
After briefly explaining the situation to each other, Zhou Baoer spoke decisively and asked a very simple question.
"Has Madam Zhang found any clues?"
Seeing the speaker, Madam Zhang was a little surprised like the people around her. He was too young! Is it really appropriate for a little girl to make the decision
