The county magistrate has no time to save the world

Chapter 15

The seven meridians of the Qinglong are the easiest to cultivate. Zheng Nian was determined to practice internal energy first and then external energy, so he sat cross-legged, and operated the meridians according to the records in the handbook. At some point, he fell asleep.

When I hurried to the Chang'an County Yamen the next day, I saw Lord Xin Delong sitting at the door and brushing his teeth.

"My lord." Zheng Nian hurried to pay his respects.

Xin Delong nodded, spat out the water in his mouth and asked, "How is the investigation of the murder of the couple going?"

"I don't have a clue yet. I'll go to the prison and ask Zhou Dong later to see if I have any new discoveries." Zheng Nian explained.

"Don't worry about it." Xin Delong said, "Let's not worry about this case. The approval came down today. You take the female family officer of the Chen family and sell it to Xinghualou. Don't mess around with the money and hand it in. The price... Usually 12 to one person."

Zheng Nian naturally understood the meaning of the adults' words, and accepted the approval, "This Chen family..."

"Master Jing Zhaoyin and Chen who just came down. There are 17 female relatives in his family. If one person is missing, it will be a crime of robbery and beheading. You decide for yourself."

Then he gave Zheng Nian another letter, "When you see the girl from the Chen family, remember to give it to her."

Xin Delong walked into the house with his hands behind his back, and Zheng Nian went straight to the fast class's classroom.

Wang Dabiao was sweeping the floor at the door, limping and smiling at Zheng Nian, the Cui brothers inside were still sleeping, but Xu Zhu was not inside.

"Where's Xu Zhu?" Zheng Nian asked.

"I went to guard the scene early this morning, where you found the body yesterday, boss," Wang Dabiao said.

Only then did Zheng Nian nod, "If he comes back, tell him to come to Xinghualou to find me."

"Xing...Xinghualou!" Wang Dabiao was overjoyed when he heard the three, and he hurried two steps despite his bad legs, "Boss...what are you going to Xinghualou? How about I go with you?"

"What? You know him well?" Zheng Nian chuckled inwardly, this Wang Dabiao was so skinny that he could be blown down by a gust of wind, and his legs and feet were not good, but he did not expect to spend a lot of time in brothels.

"Familiar...hehe, just getting acquainted. I basically know the people inside. Hehe, I'm not afraid of your jokes. If you want to go, it will be convenient for you to take me with you." Wang Dabiao rubbed his head a little shyly.

"I'm going to the public office. The official sells the female family members of the Chen family. You can go too. We happen to be in a carriage." Zheng Nian walked towards the door as he said.

One of Wang Dabiao's legs is lame, and he walks a little slower than normal people.

"Hey, are you a family member of Mr. Jing Zhaoyin?"

Zheng Nian nodded, "Don't tell me you recognize this family member."

"Boss, this really got you talking! I really recognize this girl from the Chen family. Not only do I recognize this girl from the Chen family, everyone in this capital probably knows about it," Wang Dabiao said.

"So famous?" Zheng Nian wondered.

"That's right, don't you know the three beauties in the capital?"

Zheng Nian shook his head.

"The first one is the falling snow, and the flowers are withering. Only Fu Ji can be seen. This Fu Ji is the princess of Zhennan Prince's Mansion."

"The second is Yutangchun in Xinghualou, the colorless Yutangchun in Liugong Fendai."

Zheng Nian was taken aback, "What's Yutangchun's last name?"

"My surname is Liu."

"Oh~" Zheng Nian breathed a sigh of relief, "The last one is Miss Chen?"

"Yes, the third is that if you know Fu Ji Yutangchun, you dare to look at Chen Xuan'er." Wang Dabiao sighed and shook his head, "If you see Fu Ji and Yu Tangchun, you will dare to look at Chen Xuan'er, otherwise if ordinary people see him Face, I am afraid that I will die of shame directly."

Zheng Nian smiled foolishly, "Is it exaggerating?"

"The boss doesn't know. Nowadays, the young masters in the capital may all be waiting in Xinghualou. This girl from the Chen family has been clever since she was a child. He was evenly matched in chess, and at the age of ten, he was arguing with the Confucian scholars of the Manchu Dynasty like a fluent man."

Wang Dabiao's face was full of obscene smiles, "Such a talented woman is naturally a sought-after item, and it is already my luck to be able to admire her face with adults."

Zheng Nian looked indifferent.

When the two arrived at the garrison camp, they were greeted by Wei Hongxue, the deputy general of the Kyoto garrison, a fifth-rank military general of the dynasty.

This man was extremely strong, standing in front of Zheng Nian like a tall mountain, but he said with a smile on his face, "Why did you entrust such a fat job to you?"

"Thank you General for your assistance." Zheng Nian saluted.

"Boy, let me tell you, this official business is sold everywhere. How about you make it a cover and I send someone to pick up that girl?" Wei Hongxue asked.

Zheng Nian was stunned for a moment, "The girl the general is talking about is..."

"Chen Xuan'er!" Wei Hongxue vowed, "This can be regarded as my Wei Hongxue owes you a favor."

"I don't care about this, but you also know, General, that the official document stipulates that it must be sold to Xinghualou, and there are people following the officials, so how can you act recklessly...if it is discovered..." Zheng Nian smiled awkwardly He smiled, "It's easy for the general to get away, but it's hard for me to defend myself. If the officials blame me, I won't be able to live..."

Wei Hongxue murmured a look at Zheng Nian, turned around and walked into the garrison barracks without saying a word.

Zheng Nian had no choice but to hide this kind of thing as far as he could. Many people were eagerly waiting for Chen Xuan'er to enter Xinghualou, but something went wrong on the road, and he could not escape death.

There are seven carriages in total, all of which are provided by the garrison. It seems that they have done a lot of this kind of work.

Speechless all the way.

Jing Zhaoyin's mansion is not as lavish as Zheng Nian imagined, on the contrary, it looks like an ordinary mansion, except that there is a round platform squatting under the stone lion at the entrance, and it is impossible to tell that it is Jing Zhaoyin from the outside. The mansion of the adults.

The door opened, leading a group of people straight in.

Zheng Nian saw a plain courtyard.

Simple furnishings, unremarkable furniture, not even a maid or servant.

"Already ransacked the house?" Zheng Nian asked, tilting his head.

"What can Master Chen's family have to copy?" Wang Dabiao sighed, "Boss, you don't know, this Master Chen is a well-known upright official in the capital, not to mention being greedy, if there are any poor candidates in Chunwei every year, it's him. Pay out of your own pocket for meals at the hotel.”

Zheng Nian was disappointed, this court is indeed like this, before reaching a certain status, no matter how strong the ability is, no matter how popular the people are, standing on the wrong team is a dead end, the people above don't care whether you are a good official or a corrupt official.

A soldier came over and patted Zheng Nian on the shoulder, "Captain, the female relatives have already boarded the car, here is the list, please check it."

Zheng Nian took over the list, and after checking the official documents, there were 17 people on average, and there was no problem with their names.Presumably Jun Bing had already checked with the people who were close to the Chen family.

"Boss, look quickly!" Wang Dabiao pointed over, "It's that sedan chair, and that sedan chair belongs to Master Jing Zhaoyin! Hey, I haven't sat in this sedan chair for the first time since it was allocated to Master Chen. This sedan chair is actually asking officials to sell their daughters."

Zheng Nian was silent, got into the sedan chair a few steps, reined in the whip and reined in the horse, and said to the soldiers in front, "You can go."

The team started, and a voice came from the sedan chair behind him, "Is it the messenger from Chang'an County?"

The sound is like a silver bell, and a blue bird sings.

Zheng Nian replied, "Yes."

"I don't know if I can ask the messenger to do the little girl a favor?"

"Tell me first." Zheng Nian said.

"Tomorrow my father will kill me and I will be sent to Chang'an County Prison. The little girl has a letter that I want to give to my father. I don't know if it is possible..." The voice became much darker.

"Okay, bring it here." Zheng Nian said.

Then a letter was handed out from inside the car door.

Bai Yuwuxia's palm lightly tapped the wooden board outside the car door, Zheng Nian reached out to take it, and put it directly into his arms.

The back sang softly.

"When is it time to rest for fame and fortune? It is not free to wake up early and sleep late."

"Riding a donkey and mule thinks of a fine horse, and the official residence prime minister looks at the prince."

"Greedy and busy, I forgot Yan Jun's life hook."

"If you risk your life for wealth, no one will turn back."

"Sit down as an official with two sleeves, and turn around because I don't know."

"Why don't you just be greedy and worry about your children being homeless?"

The singing was melodious and lonely, and the moment Zheng Nian sang the last line of homelessness, Zheng Nian felt a coolness behind his back, and suddenly turned around to lift the opening curtain, and a cold blade dagger reached Chen Xuan'er's chest.

"puff!"

Blood splattered!
