Chapter 455 Return to Baoling
Although there is some truth in this sentence, Jiang Pingping certainly does not agree with it, nor is he willing to agree: "Miss Jiang Si, many things you said are reasonable, but I don't think this is the case." He looked at the girl's expression serious.

The girl gave a "hmm" and looked at him. Instead of interrupting his words, she raised her hand to signal him to continue.

Jiang Pingping continued: "20 years! How many 20 years are there in life?" He said with a wry smile, stretched out his hand to touch his hair, and then continued after a pause, "Look, my hair is half gray now Yes. I was a few years older than Ji Shizi and the others 20 years ago. It was the best age. I could do many things, but we didn’t do them. Those of us who can stick to this for 20 years and give up 20 years of time to ask for it Miss Jiang Si, although you are smart, you are still too young to understand what you are doing..."

"I understand." The girl nodded and said calmly.

Such a simple sentence of "understand" is really hard to convince Jiang Pingze. He glanced at the girl, shook his head, but continued: "We have given up everything to stick to it, and there is nothing in our hearts that can win." How can you turn into a wolf because of a little coercion?"

In Jiang Pingze's heart, what she said was impossible.

After Jiang Pingping finished speaking, the girl looked at him and said, "Yang Yan is a master at manipulating people's hearts and powers. Threats and lures, but slow and long-lasting infiltration like warm water. Mr. Jiang, can you guarantee that this will not happen in the long run?"

Jiang Pingchen opened his mouth, lowered his eyelids subconsciously, not daring to look at her, but still said: "I promise..."

The girl interrupted him: "Once something happens, the result will be unpredictable. Can you bear such consequences?"

Instead of saying "I promise" all the time, it's better to think about whether such consequences can be tolerated.

Under the sunlight, Jiang Pingze's face was almost transparent.

"So, Zhou Fang is a very good choice," the girl said calmly, "Since I am saving Zhou Fang, similarly, there will be no better choice than Zhou Fang among the people around you. Because In addition to the things you stick to, he also has Miss Fang San. There is one more person who can hold Zhou Fang to be with wolves."

This matter is dangerous and prudent, and it would be better to have one more restraint, so Zhou Fang is the best choice.

"So, you don't have to thank me about Zhou Fang." The girl said, her expression was still calm compared to Jiang Pingping's pale face, "As soon as Zhou Fang leaves, we should continue to do the next thing .”

……

……

Along with Chen Wanyan's murder, Ye Mingzhu's case also changed hands.

Although he was looking into the past of Liu's family in Chang'an and Dong's family in Kaifeng, Lin Yan did not forget this matter while chatting over lunch: "What about Ye Mingzhu in the yamen?"

"Since Ye Mingzhu has been found, it must be a mistake." Ji Chongyan pointed to the packed luggage and said, "We should return it."

Lin Yan: "..."

Those night pearls were found from the bandit village near Baoling, if you want to return them, you have to go back to Baoling!

Just thinking like this, Ji Chongyan took out a letter from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Lin Yan: "The appointment of the Ministry of Officials has been made, and the new county magistrate of Yancheng has been finalized. It's time for the two of us to leave."

Lin Yan, who was eating, choked when he heard the words: I almost forgot, they are occupying the magpie's nest at this time, and this Yancheng yamen is not their yamen.Uh... I almost forgot about it after staying for a long time!

"Then who is the new magistrate of Yancheng?" Lin Yan asked.

Ji Chongyan glanced at him and said, "He Zhang."

"Which one is He Zhang?" Lin Yan didn't know this person.

Ji Chongyan shook his head: "I don't know him, it's a county magistrate like Wu Youcai transferred from another place."

A magistrate like Wu Youcai... Lin Yan twitched the corners of his mouth: "That's not very useful. If I want to stay here, he probably won't say anything."

Master Shaoqing of Dali Temple occasionally uses his "official rank" to overwhelm people, so what's wrong with staying here for a while?
It's just that this idea was rejected by Ji Chongyan: "We've stayed in Yancheng long enough, it's time to go back to Baoling! The house in Baoling is under my name, and it's more comfortable to live in..."

Lin Yan raised his eyes and glanced at him when he heard this, and said, "Not only is it comfortable, but it's also quite close to the house under Miss Jiang Si's name, and it doesn't take half an hour to walk there."

Ji Chongyan smiled, didn't deny it, just paused, and said again: "It just so happens that Wu Youcai, the acting county magistrate of Gusu, has done almost the same job, and he is going back to Baoling. We started using Wu Youcai when we came to Jiangnan Road, That being the case..." Ji Chongyan sneered, "Then let's not bother the two masters with one thing!"

Wu Youcai is quite useful.

……

"Ah!" Wu Youcai, who was packing his luggage, sneezed for no reason, and was startled. He waited for a long time and didn't wait for the second one before he breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that he didn't catch a cold.While rejoicing, he did not forget to glance at the transfer order spread out on the table, and muttered, "The new Gusu county magistrate must be talking about me!"

The new Gusu county magistrate's surname is Zhuang and his full name is Zhuang Haoran. Uh, of course he doesn't know this county magistrate Zhuang, but this magistrate Zhuang's methods are definitely better than him.

These days, he is doing well in the position of Gusu acting county magistrate. At least when he heard the news that he was leaving, some people sent him things to see him off.As Wu Youcai thought about it, his eyes fell on a pile of things piled on the ground not far away.

A bundle of home-grown vegetables, a bundle of freshly dug green bamboo shoots, two packs of homemade pastries, and a sack of sweet potatoes from someone.

Things are not expensive.Of course, he would not dare to accept expensive things, as he would be suspected of taking bribes.

Although these are not expensive things, Wu Youcai has never felt so happy in his heart: the people will give him these, which shows that he is recognized as the county magistrate of Gusu. He did not expect Wu Youcai to be so "loved" by the people. heavy" day.This was really unimaginable before.

This time the "Replacing the County Magistrate" has gained more than that, and there is this... Looking at the stack of copybooks that have obviously improved, Wu Youcai is even more happy from the bottom of his heart.

The methods taught by Miss Jiang Si are really good, he feels that his handwriting has improved these days, and he will definitely ask Miss Jiang Si for advice again later.

When we return to Baoling, it will be more convenient to meet Miss Jiang Si.Wu Youcai thought happily.

After packing up his luggage, he waited for the new Gusu County Magistrate Zhuang to come to his door.The originally scheduled date was three days later, but the new Gusu County Magistrate Zhuang County Magistrate is obviously not the same as the smooth and bribery county magistrate who was imprisoned before, and his "handwriting" county magistrate.

The new county magistrate Zhuang arrived at the Yamen one day ahead of schedule.

When Wu Youcai hurried out of the yamen to greet him, he greeted the county magistrate Zhuang early when he came.

The stern-faced new county magistrate looked at him and said seriously: "In fact, I came to Gusu a day ago. I deliberately didn't disclose my identity. I walked around the city of Gusu and found that the people's evaluation of you was not good. Not bad!"

Wu Youcai's heart tightened when he heard this, and when he was thinking about how to reply, the new county magistrate looked at him and said, "It's not that you don't have the skills, why are you always fishing in troubled waters in your seat? If you were like this earlier, you wouldn't be retiring at this age." He is now the county magistrate in Baoling City."

The tone of "hate that iron cannot be made into steel" is beyond words.

The new county magistrate is obviously a county magistrate who handles affairs. No wonder he sat in this position at a young age, less than thirty.

But fortunately, the county magistrate Zhuang didn't have the intention to be a teacher. After saying this, he didn't say any more nonsense, and instead explained some chores about Gusu to him.

The rest of the chores are fine. When it was mentioned that "the Yang family is the local emperor of Gusu", the magistrate Zhuang snorted lightly, with a half-smile: "There is only one emperor in the world, and it is far away in Chang'an City!" Ling said, bowing in the direction of Chang'an City, and then said, "There are no local emperors in Gusu, only a county magistrate who works for the people of the city."

Wu Youcai: "..."

Uh, this county magistrate Zhuang seems to be a man who is not afraid of the powerful!The life of the Yang family might not be so easy.

Of course, the Yang family was better off than Wu Youcai, who was not his turn to worry about it. After handing over to the magistrate of Zhuang County, Wu Youcai called the old servant of the carriage and left Gusu.Oh, by the way, I also brought a bundle of green vegetables, a bundle of green bamboo shoots, and two packages of sweet potatoes in the same sack of pastries.

Going back to Baoling with such a "rich harvest", on the way back, Wu Youcai couldn't help looking forward to the "comfortable" days after returning to Baoling. You can also ask Miss Jiang Si for help, oh, Miss Jiang Si is really a rare and kind person!

If there is anything wrong with the wonderful Baoling, it is probably that the two distinguished guests from the capital, Shizi Ji and Lin Shaoqing, were too "responsible", so that he, the county magistrate, seemed to have a trap around his neck. Circle, as if being forcibly pulled forward by the two of them.

Really don't have to work so hard!Wu Youcai sighed: But those two people are in Yancheng, so far he hasn't heard anything about the case of the murdered magistrate in Yancheng, so he probably won't return to Baoling yet!

If he doesn't go back to Baoling, he knows that he has no time to take care of him!Wu Youcai breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart fell to the ground.

The carriage was swaying all the way, which is most suitable for people to doze off. Wu Youcai slept all the way, and set off in the morning. At dusk, the carriage successfully stopped in front of the Baoling County Yamen.

Looking at the familiar plaque with the words "Baoling County Government Office", Wu Youcai felt even more at ease, with an indescribable sense of comfort all over his body, finally arriving at his own government office!
Before getting out of the car, he stretched and yawned. Wu Youcai stretched out his hand and opened his mouth. When he opened his hand and opened his mouth as wide as possible, the door curtain of the carriage was suddenly lifted, and a familiar face appeared in the field of vision. middle.

"I thought the driver looked familiar!" On the way back, Lin Yan's face appeared in front of his eyes as he had told him that he would not come back in Yancheng.

Wu Youcai's mouth froze, and his heart skipped a beat for no reason. The next moment, a more familiar face appeared in sight.

Prince Ji!Wu Youcai instinctively sucked in a breath of cold air, and sucked in a big mouthful of cold air into his abdomen, which made him cough suddenly.

The culprit glanced at him and nodded to him as a greeting!

Ji Shizi... Ji Shizi actually greeted him?Wu Youcai coughed worse when he thought of Hu Yuanwai and others who were slaughtered at the Dragon Boat Festival last year.

To appease his coughing, these two people in front of him who he had been talking about all the way back to Baoling certainly wouldn't do it, and the old servant who drove the carriage helped the adults who jumped out of the carriage in a hurry to pat their backs.

"Ji Shi...the prince, Lin...Master Lin."

"He's not called Shizi Ji, and I'm not called Master Lin Lin." Lin Yan corrected Wu Youcai with "good intentions", and took out a file from somewhere, and said, "The case of Ye Mingzhu and the killing of County Magistrate Chen in Yancheng Someone has taken over the case, and we have another case to investigate right now, so we have to borrow your yamen to use it, is it convenient for Master Wu?"

Can it be convenient?Does he dare to be inconvenient?Wu Youcai kept nodding while coughing, "Fang...it's convenient!"

Even if you give him 1 guts, he doesn't dare to be inconvenient.

"It's convenient!" Lin Yan smiled and looked at Wu Youcai in front of him. Seeing his panic-stricken appearance, he couldn't help but held back his laughter. He coughed and said, "There is a suspect in this case." Locked in your yamen is Duan Fei, Prince of Dongchuan. We thought Duan Shizi had too many capable people, and we were afraid that he would be bored in prison and go out for a stroll, so we sent some more people to help, Mr. Wu, is it convenient?"

Wu Youcai almost fainted when he heard about Prince Dongchuan's son: "My God, it's a pity that so many extraordinary people are imprisoned in his small Baoling county prison."

It is the son of the prince and the young lady of the Yang family, and it is really amazing!He didn't even know that his own prison was such a great "geomancy treasure", that so many powerful people were imprisoned!

After some questioning, Wu Youcai was so frightened that his legs and feet were trembling when he entered the door.

"The culprit" Lin Yan didn't take it seriously, and after asking Wu Youcai "is it convenient", he turned and walked to Ji Chongyan's side, and said, "Chongyan, I asked, Fourth Miss Jiang is not in Baoling, and hasn't come back for a long time."

"It's okay, she will come back." Ji Chongyan didn't care about this, Dali who was imprisoned, Xiao Xuebai who replaced Dali in Gusu, and Mrs. Yang had already tied her together with them , are not so easy to separate.After a pause, he glanced at the dossier held in Lin Yan's arms, and said, "The identities of the remaining women in the cave need to be ascertained, the needlework maid who was sold to Jiangnan Road in Miss Dong's yard Can it be arranged?"

Lin Yan nodded: "Tomorrow people will be taken to Baoling, you can ask them then."

After girls from the Liu family in Shanxi, the Dong family in Kaifeng, the Liu family in Chang'an, and the Wang family in Luoyang had accidents, the entire Liu family died in misfortune. Deal with it, everything these people have done points to one thing - silence!
For these families, loving a daughter is not a lie, but a loving daughter is nothing compared to the secret that keeps them silent.
