From Beijing
County magistrate Cao was taken aback, and quickly reached out to take the envelope, opened it and looked at it carefully.
The letter was sent by Master Li, saying that if Shiqing finds out about the dike, she should not be allowed to return to Beijing alive. As long as Shi Qing is removed, there will naturally be someone in Beijing who will take care of the rest of the matter for her.
If she dared to say that, it was because she was not afraid of Shiju, or there was someone with a higher official position than Shiju behind her.
County magistrate Cao was certain, he breathed a sigh of relief, and pressed the envelope to his chest, "Helping straw."
This letter came too timely. She just happened to be in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, so she made up her mind directly now.
Shi Qing can't stay!
If she was alive, she would definitely die. Only when she died, would he have a chance of survival.
The county magistrate Cao asked the yamen servant to bring all the available people in the yamen, and at the same time take his tokens to Wuxing and the bank.
After all, there is a certain number of yamen servants in the yamen, but there is no limit to the thugs raised by places like Wuxing and Qianzhuang.
Or it can be said that a strong dragon can't beat a local snake. After all, compared with Shi Qing who has no foundation in the county, County Magistrate Cao has stayed for too long, and his connections and relationships are not comparable to Shi Qing.
County magistrate Cao looked at Mihe who was sitting on the steps, including Yaqing who was watching the salute and the official silver in the room, Shiqing brought two people with him.
If she and her husband were extremely skilled in martial arts, they would not have been forced to jump into the river to escape last night.
The disparity in force between the two sides is too great, and the county magistrate Cao is not afraid at all.
She asked people to go out to look for her, her tone and posture were completely different from before, the anxious struggle was gone from her face, "Look, you want to see people, you want to see people, you want to see dead bodies!"
The county magistrate Cao winked at the yamen servant when he said "death", and the other party instantly understood what she meant.
County magistrate Cao carefully folded the letter and put it against his chest, which was her life-saving talisman.
The imperial envoy from Beijing was lost, Cao Fulang got up and came to ask about the situation, and Cao Zhen came with him.
"Is Master Xiao okay?" Cao Zhen looked worried.
"You should hope that she's okay. If she's okay, then we'll be the ones." Magistrate Cao snorted softly.
Cao Zhen looked puzzled, and Cao Fulang asked, "What happened?"
"What do you think?" It's not like the father and son didn't know about the things she did.
After all, if a seventh-rank county magistrate is not greedy for some money, where there is money to support his family, how can he let his husband and son wear brocade clothes and satin.
Cao Fulang clutched his chest, his face turned pale, "How did she find out? Didn't everything go well before, besides, you acted so carefully."
Magistrate Cao didn't expect it either.
Shi Qingguang came earlier than the other imperial envoys, if it was later, it would be good to go up with stones. Moreover, she has a more careful mind and is not bewitched by masculinity. She doesn't look like someone who hasn't gone through major incidents at all.
Just by chasing and killing her with people from the capital, one can know that she is not safe in the capital.
I really didn't see it at all.
Cao Zhen's eyelashes dropped, "Is there any other way to reconcile?"
He raised his eyes and asked tentatively, "Can you talk to her as before, after all, she is from Beijing."
"Mother knows that you have taken a fancy to her," Cao County Magistrate said, "but she didn't take a fancy to you. If she had a crush on you, it's okay. It's not that you didn't see it yourself. She only had mutton in her eyes that night, so what?" There is a little bit of your shadow."
When Cao Zhen thought of that day, his chest felt tight.
It's so rare to meet such a good-looking and promising woman, even if it's a concubine for her, it's good.
Pity.
Magistrate Cao waved his hand and said, "You two don't care about this matter, I have my own opinion."
Cao Fulang led Cao Zhen back, and the county magistrate was waiting for news in the county government office.
At three poles in the sun, the yamen servant reported back, "I still haven't found it."
They even went downstream, but they didn't find anyone.
No one is alive, no one is dead.
County magistrate Cao pondered, "Then come back first, leave a few people to search for symbolic inquiries, and the rest wait for news in the yamen."
"Her entourage and luggage are all there. If she is alive, she must come back."
It's better to save energy, and just come to the yamen to catch the turtle in the urn.
The yamen servant responded, "Yes."
The movement in the yamen, the beggar leader crouched in the opposite corner, could see clearly.
Cao county magistrate suddenly withdrew people and did not look for them, there must be something wrong.
After all, he was an imperial envoy from the middle of Beijing. According to Cao County Magistrate's temperament, he had to dig three feet to find him, otherwise he would not be able to go up.
The beggar leader shrugged and walked down the street.
After running away last night, she went back and took a look. Hiding in the dark, she saw the group of men in black standing by the river for a while and then left. Within a few seconds, another group of people arrived.
The leading young woman in dark red clothes inspected the scene, and then directed the people to go downstream along the river.
She didn't dare to breathe the whole time, and only sneaked away when everyone was gone.
When I entered the city this morning before dawn, I saw the yamen servants go out to find someone. I guessed that Master Shi and her husband must have not returned yet, but I don’t know if they were injured.
The beggar leader scattered the beggars under his command to inquire, thinking that it would be fine if he could help to find it.
If they were one step faster than the yamen servants, they could still report a letter to Mr. Shi.
Let her be careful of Magistrate Cao.
In the county government office, Mihe questioned the county magistrate Cao, "There is no news from my lord, why didn't you send someone out to look for it?"
"Who said you didn't go out to look for it." County Magistrate Cao slowly sipped the teacup, "Didn't someone go there?"
"You are ashamed to say just two or three people! Who are you fooling!"
Mihe didn't sleep all night and was angry, his eyes were red, and he wished he could eat Magistrate Cao alive.
At the beginning, there was a group of people who helped to find them. Later, when the magistrate Cao received a letter, something was wrong. It was not only the yamen servants who were looking for people, but also others.
Mihe thought about finding the person before talking, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Fortunately, before the person was found, Magistrate Cao was going to wait for lunch leisurely in the yamen, completely caring about her little master's life or death.
Before, she thought Magistrate Cao was much better than Qian Kaitai, but now it seems they are all the same!
It's just that one is bad in the light, and the other is bad in the dark.
"If something happens to the little master, my adults will definitely not let you go!" Mihe said and was about to go out.
Magistrate Cao looked at her back with heavy eyes, "Stop."
She knocked the bottom of her teacup on the table, "You are a servant, how dare you shout at me, this is my county government, not your Shifu."
"It's up to Mr. Shi not to let me go. You are so presumptuous but you don't pay attention to me, the county magistrate."
If this girl goes out, maybe something bad will happen.
Magistrate Cao raised his voice and said, "Come here."
Mihe turned her head and looked back in surprise, "What are you going to do?"
"Twenty sticks!" Magistrate Cao said with a smile, "Your lord is not here, I'm just restraining her servants for her."
Mi Heqi smiled, "How dare you! I am a servant of the Shifu, why do you restrain me for my little master!"
She rolled up her sleeves, reached out and lifted the chair next to her, "I'll hit whoever comes!"
Magistrate Cao didn't expect a girl to be so stubborn, she winked at the people around her, "You can go, what about him?"
In the mansion, there is not only Mihe himself, but also Yaqing.
Ya Qing was pushed outside the door, her face turned pale with fright. Originally, Yun Zhi lost him enough to worry, but now he is even more afraid of being brought here.
If Yun Zhi and Shi Qing had nothing to do, how dare the county magistrate treat him like this.
Ya Qing clenched her lips, tears swirled in her eyes, but she couldn't hold back the tears.
"You—" Mi Aiqi's chest heaved heavily.
Cao county magistrate asked, "Should I hit you, or him?"
The yamen servant was already walking towards Yaqing with the board in his hand, and Mihe threw a chair towards him.
Taking advantage of the other party's pain and being distracted, Mi He hurried over and pulled Ya Qing behind him, looking in the direction of the round door from the corner of his eye, wondering if he could run.
County magistrate Cao came out calmly, and stood on the steps under the eaves with his hands behind his back, "You can't run out."
She told the yamen servant, "Hit!"
She doesn't even intend to let her master go, let alone a servant, who can be dealt with directly by killing him.
The yamen servant picked up a stick and pumped it on Mihe's lower abdomen.
But Mihe directly reached out to catch the board, and with all his strength, he took the board from the opponent's hand and waved it.
It's okay if she doesn't know martial arts, but she is strong!
Mihe danced the board until the yamen servants didn't dare to get close, for fear of getting hit on his own head.
"Whoever comes, I will fight with my life!"
She gritted her teeth and stared at everyone who wanted to get close.
Unconvinced, County Magistrate Cao pointed at Mihe in the courtyard and asked several people to come over, "Hold her down!"
A yamen servant just ran over from outside the round gate with an ugly expression on his face. He was about to go up to talk to Magistrate Cao, but was commanded by Magistrate Cao to arrest Mihe.
"What are you catching," said the yamen servant, patting his thigh, "Your Majesty is back!"
The flesh on Magistrate Cao's face trembled visibly.
When Mi He heard that Shi Qing had come back, her eyes lit up in surprise, taking advantage of the moment when she was distracted, the eyes of the yamen servant who was hit by her chair just now dimmed, and he picked up the board and hit Mi He on the head.
"Honey!"
Yaqing's eyes were frightened, and she stretched out her hand to protect her head with a crying voice.
As soon as Shi Qing entered the round gate, he saw the yamen servant beside Mihe swung the arm holding the board.
She reacted quickly and reached out to grab the bow and arrow behind the leader of the Royal Forest Army, her eyes narrowed slightly, the bowstring was fully drawn, and the arrow passed.
Mihe didn't realize the danger at all, his eyes only looked in the direction of the round door, and he turned his head only when he heard the voice of Crow Qing.
All movements seemed to slow down, Yaqing reached out to hug her head, before she had time, Mihe heard a sharp wind gliding by her ear, the sound of "咻", the arrow brushed past her hair, and the sound of "咚". Nail it on the board that the yamen servant picked up.
The yamen servant was so shocked that his hands were numb, and the board fell to the ground in the opposite direction to Mihe, and his whole body shook accordingly.
Mihe's eyes trembled slightly, her legs softened in fright, and her back was covered in cold sweat.
"Little master."
Mi He and Ya Qing looked at Shi Qing and Yun Zhi with red eyes, "Master."
The two finally settled down, "It's good that you are fine."
Shi Qing was fine, so it was someone else who had trouble.
Shi Qing came in side by side with Yun Zhi with a bow in his hand, and asked with a bland smile, "Yo, what is Magistrate Cao going to do? Did Mihe and Yaqing burn down your ancestral hall while I was away? Why did you still move?" Are you ready?"
Mihe finally found the backbone, walked quickly towards Shiqing, erected the board to her side, and stood straight behind her.
Yaqing walked quickly to Yunzhi's side, looked him up and down, saw the blood on Yunzhi's left arm, and realized that he was injured.
After holding back the tears for a long time, they finally fell.
"It's all right." Yun Zhi handed the sword in his hand to Yaqing, opened the opening of his clothes and showed him the bandaged place through the gap, "It's really all right."
Only then did Ya Qing hold the sword in both hands and heaved a sigh of relief.
When County Magistrate Cao saw Shi Qing Haoduan came back, his heart felt faintly cold.
She forced a smile, "It's all a misunderstanding, where did my lord go, let us find it easily."
She glanced at the new woman who appeared beside Shi Qing, who looked to be in her twenties, wearing a slim and capable dark red guard uniform, standing not far behind Shi Qing with a cold face and expressionless expression.
No matter from the standing posture to the standing position, the opponent is in a posture of protecting the person in front.
County magistrate Cao estimated the opponent's force value, thinking about the situation and making a move.
Shi Qing smiled, "Where am I going, don't you have any idea? I'll tell you everything. What do you do with a head? Is it for display?"
"If you're too lazy to use it, why not cut it off and use it as a stake and bury it under the dam. You've done your part to protect the people."
County magistrate Cao didn't understand why, Shi Qing really discovered the problem with the dam.
"My lord, I also have the embarrassment of being an official. I wonder if my lord can discuss it. You can talk about anything you need."
When Cao county magistrate spoke, he gestured to the yamen servant behind him.
Everyone in the yamen was ready to take her down as soon as Shi Qing came back.
Shi Qingquan pretended not to see it, and when Cao county magistrate called people over, he just caught them all in one go!
The Imperial Forest Army had already ambushed by the wall, and when they faced thugs, it was like frying fish in a pond.
Shi Qing touched his bow and asked, "What can I discuss with you? With our friendship, you don't have the face to ask me to burn some paper money for you on the fifteenth day of the Qingming Festival, right?"
County magistrate Cao was choked up, and his expression gradually became ugly.
"Using rotten wood under the embankment, you can really figure it out. Is that rotten wood? That rotten wood is clearly your desire to be an official."
"It is said that the county magistrate is the mother and father of the people. A granddaughter like you and the common people despise the family and unfortunately gave birth to something like you!"
"If I were the ancestor on the tablet of your family, I would be so angry that I would crawl out all night and pick out my name."
Shi Qing disliked him, "With a junior like you, I would feel ashamed to die!"
Dare to fool her by treating her as a granddaughter, Shi Qing has to let someone surnamed Cao see who is grandma today!
