It turned out that before they knew it, the group of people had arrived at the gate of the Jiayu Town government office. Because it is just a town, the largest official here is just a ninth-grade sesame official, a county magistrate.
The servant of the government office looked at the few people in front of him with some doubts: "What do you want? If you have nothing to do, leave quickly. This is not the place for you to stay."
This is driving away the people. Qian Jiujiu raised his eyebrows. Qingye stepped forward and took out a token: "Take us to see your county magistrate."
This gold medal represents the royal guards, who have great power. The yamen servant was startled, and his attitude immediately changed, with a flattering look on his face.
"It turns out it's your lords, please."
I don’t know where these people come from, but people with this gold medal are very powerful. Anyway, you can’t go wrong by calling them “sir.”
Qian Jiujiu and his entourage followed the government officials into the government office. The county magistrate inside was reading files. It seemed that such a small town was quite busy.
"Sir, there are adults from Kyoto here."
An adult from Kyoto? Magistrate Xue raised his head in surprise and looked at Qian Jiujiu and his group. His eyes widened in an instant. He stood up excitedly, walked to Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu and knelt down in front of them.
"Xue Tong, the lower official, has met King Bingjian and Princess Bingjian."
Qian Jiujiu was a little surprised that it was someone who knew them, but the name was Xue Tong? It sounds familiar, but I can't remember it right now.
Mu Yexiao was a little surprised when he arrived: "So it's you, get up. Why do you become a small county magistrate here?"
Xue Tong was so happy when he heard that the king remembered him, and he quickly got up from the ground. The guard who led the way in was almost frightened when he saw his master saluting.
Are these the legendary King Bingjian and Princess Bingjian? He looked so young, and he knelt down the next moment. Just as Xue Tong was about to speak, he saw his servant kneeling down and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Your Majesty, Xiaguan, this government official has never seen the world. It is rare to be excited when he sees the prince. Xiaguan passed the Jinshi exam last year. When the emperor made him an official, he asked for release, so he came here."
Mu Yexiao nodded, but Qian Jiujiu looked at Mu Yexiao curiously. Sure enough, he was someone he knew. Mu Yexiao noticed that Qian Jiujiu was curious, so he explained: "This is the grandson of Xue Shangshu. When he was in Kyoto, he was considered a playboy."
The corner of Xue Tong's mouth twitched. Just now he was happy that the prince actually remembered him, but now he realized that in the eyes of the prince, he was just a playboy. He touched his head and felt a little embarrassed: "I was not sensible when I was young."
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "That's right, the dandies of the past can become parents of one parent, which is not bad. It seems that they are growing up better."
This was a compliment. Xue Tong looked happy, and the government servants on the side were stunned. Is this still the powerful adult? Why do I feel like a child being praised
And Xue Tong seemed to hear something at this moment, and he quickly said: "Why did the prince and princess suddenly come here after leaving? Were they sent here by the court after receiving the news? They came so fast."
Qian Jiujiu was a little surprised. It seemed that something had indeed happened. Mu Yexiao was not polite and asked directly: "What happened? You sent a message to the court. We are here because of some private matters."
Talking about personal matters, Xue Tong took a look at the other family of three who came with them, and then he was shocked. Just now, there were only Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu in his eyes, but now he realized that this was not the former Third Prince
Didn’t everyone say that the Third Prince was dead? Everyone was stammering: "Three, Third Prince?"
Mu Yesheng looked at Xue Tong. Speaking of it, the relationship between releasing Xue Tong and him was relatively close. Looking at Xue Tong, he also felt a sense of intimacy: "It's me, but I'm just a commoner now. I don't deserve the title of Third Prince. This is my wife and son."
Xue Tong was stupid, today's news was too shocking. Two people who were originally hostile came together, but the dead person is now still alive, and most importantly, he even has a child.
"I've met the Third Young Master, the Third Madam, and the Young Master."
Qian Jiujiu thought Xue Tong's reaction was very interesting, so she said directly: "This third lady is the third princess of the former Qian Kingdom."
Pfft... Xue Tong could only say that luckily he didn't drink water, otherwise, he would have choked to death. The third princess of Qian Kingdom? Third lady? Even though he was smart at heart, he couldn't withstand this fright. How did these people get together
However, Xue Tong quickly realized that the princess revealed the identity of the third lady at this time, and it seemed that there was something going on here. But he hasn't spoken yet, so he can only wait.
Mu Yexiao quickly spoke: "What news did you report to the court? Are you asking for help?"
Hearing this, Xue Tong's eyes flashed with joy. Who in the court could have the ability to stand side by side with the king. Now King Bingjian takes the initiative to ask, that is to say, he wants to help.
"Yes, some strange things have happened in Jiayu Town recently. Your Majesty, please take a look at the files."
This was all compiled into a file. It looked like it was no small matter. Qian Jiujiu also stepped forward and started reading. It turns out that there have been a lot of missing people in Jiayu Town recently. Logically speaking, there are a lot of people coming and going in Jiayu Town every day.
It's just that the disappearance of these people will not attract anyone's attention. However, one of the missing people here is a good friend of Xue Tong, who was invited by Xue Tong to come over to help. As a result, the person who was supposed to arrive a month ago never came.
Xue Tong felt that something was wrong after he even lost his trace. After checking, he found that many people were missing. Even a few government officials he sent to investigate were missing. No, he felt that the things here were not simple, so he sent news to the court, hoping to get support.
Qian Jiujiu frowned after reading the file: "The number of missing people at most is a hundred people a day. Is this so blatant?"
Xue Tong frowned: "Jiayu Town was established in the hands of Xiaguan, because there are more and more people, and they are all floating population, which is difficult to manage. Xiaguan still hasn't figured out where these people went? They are all dereliction of duty.”
Qian Jiujiu looked at Xue Tong like this and suddenly said: "Let me take your pulse."
Xue Tong was stunned. He knew that the medical skills of this princess were incredible. Why did she suddenly want to check his pulse? Does he look sick? He looked at Qian Jiujiu with some horror, then stretched out his hand.
Qian Jiujiu looked at Xue Tong's frightened eyes and was a little amused: "No, I'm treating you. What are you looking at?"
Could this person be too imaginative? Xue Tong was a little embarrassed: "I heard that the princess has very good medical skills and can tell whether others are sick at a glance. Am I not seriously ill?"
Was this what you were worried about? Qian Jiujiu was speechless: "I'm not a god. I can tell your physical condition just by looking at you."
Oh, feelings can't work. Just when Xue Tong felt relieved, he heard Qian Jiujiu speak again: "Well, I can know the general condition of your body at a glance. Taking your pulse just makes me more prepared."
Xue Tong's eyes widened, so he was still sick! Mu Yexiao was standing by, watching Qian Jiujiu teasing Xue Tong, but he couldn't help it. Xue Tong's reaction had been quite funny since he first saw them. Qian Jiujiu had become more playful, so he couldn't help it.
Qianjiujiu's pulse will not touch Xue Tong, but a thin thread is tied to Xue Tong's pulse. The golden power enters Xue Tong's body along the thin thread, and Xue Tong's situation can be grasped instantly. Clear as day.
Not to mention that this Xue Tong is really quite capable. He has not been poisoned. In other words, he is a normal person.
He retracted the thin thread and looked at Mu Yexiao. Mu Yexiao understood and looked at Xue Tong: "Xue Tong, go and get the whole government anxious. There is something to be announced."
Xue Tong immediately turned around and looked back at Qian Jiujiu. Seeing that it was time to get down to business, Qian Jiujiu stopped teasing Xue Tong and said directly: "You are healthy and not sick."
Hearing that he was not sick, Xue Tong was relieved: "Thank you, Princess."
Then he quickly headed towards the door. Soon all the people from the government office were gathered together, and after standing in the courtyard, they invited Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao over.
Qian Jiujiu looked at these people and said with a smile: "I am the doctor invited by your Excellency to check your safety pulse. Now line up and come up one by one to be checked."
Everyone was a little surprised and looked at Xue Tong. When Xue Tong heard Qian Jiujiu's words, he knew that these people did not want to expose their identities, so he nodded and said: "Yes, everyone has been working hard recently. Let me check everyone's health."
"Let everyone have a healthy body to face everything that comes next. After all, we are trying to find those missing people. Okay, come up."
He even found the house servants who were sweeping the floor, leaving no one behind. Qian Jiujiu put pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of him and began to treat people.
The first person who came up was a little unhealthy and had no worms in his body. He wrote a prescription: "Follow the prescription and boil it twice, and the disease will be cured."
The person who got the prescription was naturally happy. Soon it was the second person's turn. Qian Jiujiu raised his eyebrows and handed a piece of white paper to the yamen servant: "You can stand aside."
The yamen servant was a little flustered, but in full view of the crowd, he could only stand aside obediently, and soon he was next.
Qian Jiujiu's speed was very fast. Healthy people stood aside directly. Unhealthy people who had no worms in their bodies were given a prescription to cure the disease. Those who had worms were given a blank piece of paper and stood together.
Soon everyone had finished reading. Qian Jiujiu clapped his hands and looked at Xue Tong: "Take down all these people."
