Before exile, the imperial concubine emptied the palace

Chapter 21
The guard was afraid of being punished by the county magistrate, so he pulled up Chen Maowu's lapel and dragged it inside, "Chen Maowu, I know that everyone is so poor that they can't get rid of it, but you are looking for death! During the day, I saw the dwarf standing on the street Huangyou, don't think that the magistrate is a fool! I kindly advise you to go, don't be ignorant of flattery!"

Lin Xiaoyue grabbed the guard's arm, and said in a deep voice: "If we are sure, we will not come here, and delay the chance of the county magistrate getting promoted and making a fortune. Even if you have ten heads, you are not enough to cut off!"

The guard was frightened by Lin Xiaoyue's sudden aura, he let go of his hand unconsciously, "Okay, since you don't listen to persuasion, then you wait here, I will go in and find the magistrate right now, if he gets angry, you should be careful not to be caught Hit the board!"

The county magistrate of Dongyuan Town is Wu Zhongkui, an old man with a gray beard. The reason he is still sitting in this position at such an old age is that Dongyuan Town is too poor. If he resigns and returns home, no one really wants to sit in his place. Location.

Because of his age, Wu Zhongkui went to bed early every day, and if someone disturbed him, he would definitely be punished, so as long as the sky didn't fall, no one in the yamen would come to wake him up.

But today, after he washed his feet and was about to lie down, he heard his subordinates standing at the door reporting that the bandit den in Bandit Mountain was on fire. This excited him, so he put on his clothes again and rushed out without being disturbed at all Angry, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Seeing that Wu Zhongkui hadn't lost his temper, the officer felt relieved, "No, someone from outside the mansion came to report. The county magistrate, do you want to see them now, or let them come back tomorrow?"

Wu Zhongkui wanted to kill those bandits in his dreams, it was these people who came to rob things every day, making Dongyuan Town the most disgusting place around, and because no one wanted to come here to be an official, he still had to live in this Qingshui town because of his age. He really had enough of being a parent officer in the yamen!

"Quickly, call them in, I have something to ask them!"

The guard was a little surprised, nodded and said: "Yes, this subordinate will go right away!"

After a while, Lin Xiaoyue and Chen Maowu's father and daughter were brought in front of Wu Zhongkui by the guards.

"The grass people have seen the magistrate!"

Lin Xiaoyue imitated Chen Maowu's father and daughter, followed behind and saluted hastily.

Wu Zhongkui was anxious to know about Bandit Mountain, so he didn't go back to change his official uniform. When he saw someone coming, he asked directly: "I heard that you saw the bandit den on Bandit Mountain on fire? Everyone inside was burned to death." Yet?"

Chen Maowu stood up and said: "I don't know if the person is dead or not, but the mountain is indeed on fire. Because my daughter was captured by them during the day, and then thrown by someone at the foot of the mountain. When she woke up, the bandits on the mountain The nest is on fire."

Wu Zhongkui's originally happy heart was hung in the air, and he was very uncomfortable because he couldn't get up and down. What he wanted to know the most was that no one knew. How could he sleep tonight?

"Why don't you see it clearly? What can I do now?"

Lin Xiaoyue heard complaints in the words of the magistrate, it seems that he usually just complains and doesn't do anything!No wonder he is still sitting in this position at a young age. It is one thing that Dongyuan Town is too poor, but it is flawed if he is not capable. With him like this, he is probably going to die of old age here.

She said bluntly: "Grandfather of the county, even the bandits on the robber mountain are afraid of men, let alone such things. She managed to escape from death, how could she go up the mountain again? Now she is willing to follow my godfather to report the crime." That's a lot of courage!"

There are only a few people left in Dongyuan Town, and Wu Zhongkui has seen most of them. Seeing Lin Xiaoyue's fresh face, but her mouth full of godfathers, he was very puzzled.

"Where did you come from? I don't know how many members of the Chen family are there? This is our Dongyuan town's business, don't worry about it if you come from outside!"

When Chen Maowu heard that Lin Xiaoyue was reprimanded by the county magistrate, he felt very uncomfortable. He stretched out his hand to protect Lin Xiaoyue behind him, and said, "This is our family's benefactor. If Yueyue passed by the foot of the mountain and saw Yun Yun lying on the ground, she would put Yun Yun down in time. Wake up, I'm afraid Yunyun's life and death are unpredictable now!"

Lin Xiaoyue heard that her stomach was growling with hunger, and she was too lazy to talk nonsense with the county magistrate, so she took Chen Maowu's arm and was about to leave, "Godfather, how many cases has the county magistrate handled in this county government office? I have eaten a lot of rice, so he can solve this matter casually. We are here to receive the reward today, magistrate, you will not forget what you said, right?"

Wu Zhongkui was so ashamed and indignant by Lin Xiaoyue's words that even beggars are not allowed to come to this poor and tinkling Dongyuan Town, and any case is inseparable from the bandits on the Bandit Mountain!

This girl seemed to be holding him, the county lord, with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, but in fact, every word was cruel!In normal times, he would definitely have someone beat him with ten or twenty boards first, but after so long, the fire on the mountain may have been extinguished now, so even if he wants to go up the mountain to search, he still needs the help of these people to lead the way. tear face!

He coughed lightly to cover up the embarrassment in his heart, and said with a smile: "Of course such a good thing should be rewarded, but we have never been there, and it is really hard to find it at night, why don't you take my people to the mountain have a look?"

Chen Maowu said disapprovingly: "No, I would rather not receive the reward than let Yueyue take this risk! Tianhei Mountain Road is not easy to walk, if you need to lead the way, then tomorrow will be during the day, and I will go then."

Lin Xiaoyue was touched by this newly recognized godfather. In fact, the godfather also wanted to know immediately, but in order to prevent himself from taking risks, he not only refused the reward, but also refused the county magistrate's request. It's nice to have someone to protect!

"My godfather is right. But the bounty belongs to the bounty, the county magistrate, your promise is not counted! I can tell you that during the day, Yunyun and I looked from the foot of the mountain, and the location of the fire was probably in the middle of the mountain. You can see it by touching it.”

Wu Zhongkui didn't expect these people to be so disrespectful, and his face immediately turned ugly, "If you don't cooperate with me in handling the case, I can only lock you up first. Who knows if you were the one who set fire on the mountain?"

Lin Xiaoyue was furious in her heart, did she meet someone who was unreasonable again?
"Master County, I have pity on the hearts of parents all over the world. I think you have children too. If we want your children to search the robber mountain at night, would you be willing? Do not do to others what you do not want!"

Wu Zhongkui was stunned by Lin Xiaoyue's last words. How could Chen Maowu, an honest farmer, have such a powerful goddaughter?It's better to let them go quickly, staying here will only block his heart!
He reluctantly took out a piece of broken silver and said, "Okay, then you guys go back first, and I will send someone to do the rest."

Lin Xiaoyue couldn't help giggling in her heart, she didn't expect that the county magistrate was actually a bullying paper tiger!

I don't know if the magistrate of the county has any grudges because of what she said just now?If the magistrate of the county is narrow-minded, and the godfather's family is honest and honest, it will not be so easy in Dongyuan Town in the future!

She has to test a thing or two!
