Before I went into exile, I was rich as hell.

Chapter 71 Xichuan County
At this time, the lights in the county town are brightly lit everywhere, and there are voices of boxing games and drinking orders in some rooms, and the voices of women's delicate and pretty voices in some rooms, and even some people are complaining that the piles of refugees outside the city are there to affect people. them.

Suspect they pollute the air.

Murongli and Su Yue glanced at each other, it was really the bones of the Zhumen's wine and meat stink.

"Go, go to the county government office to see." Murongli couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, he dragged Su Yue and ran away.

Su Yue's mood is not much better than his. The magistrate of Xichuan County is not a good thing at first sight. If I don't give him some flair tonight, is she still called Su Yue?
The county office was easy to find, and there happened to be a patrol team patrolling when the two arrived.

The two hid in the dark, and when they passed by, one of the yamen servants happened to be complaining: "Your Excellency, the city gates are closed, and no one can come in. Your Excellency is still so nervous, let us be more vigilant all night long." Patrol, we are not given any rest time."

The yamen servant behind him kicked him: "What do you know, Xichuan City is a gate for everyone, and there is no room for any mistakes. Stop talking about it. Be careful that adults will find out and tell you to get out."

"Hey, what are you kicking, you move your mouth and move your feet."

"If I don't kick you, who knows what your bad mouth will say..."

After the patrol team had gone far, Murong Li dragged Su Yue to the backyard of the yamen, carried her across the wall with ease, and landed gently in the yard.

"What did the yamen servant mean just now? I feel that there is something wrong with what she said. Is there someone who wants to do something?" Su Yue asked Murongli in a low voice.

Murong Li's expression was serious, he shook his head, "I'm not sure yet, let's go to the county magistrate and ask, maybe we can get something out of him."

Something is wrong, something is wrong, Patriarch Qi and his party have not received any news from them so far. It is reasonable for Patriarch Qi not to send him a message, but the secret guards he sent have also lost contact.

What I saw and heard today, all of them illustrate a problem, someone is doing something, and it is still a big thing, not only for those in the palace, but also for him.

Four Seas Bank and Five Lakes Commercial Bank existed in Northwest City, and he had only received the news of the severe drought in the Northwest some time ago, which meant that there was also a problem with Four Seas Bank and Five Lakes Commercial Bank.

Estimated to be under control.

It takes a lot of money to do things, and those two are like a cornucopia.

Murong Li tried his best to think about the members of the royal family and officials sent to the northwest.

There are quite a few people who come here, and everyone can do something, but the situation is unclear now, and they don't know who it is.

Su Yue nodded, and quickly searched in the backyard with her mental strength.

Soon, I saw two people drinking tea and talking about things leisurely in a study room in the back office.

Su Yong touched Murongli, and after showing him the direction of the study, the two of them quietly moved over.

Murong Li has martial arts, Su Yue has mental strength, the two easily avoided the minefield, and arrived under a window of the study room, where they squatted and listened to the conversation between the two in the room.

"Master Gao, Patriarch Qi, what do you plan to do with it, should you leave it to the master?"

The fatter man in the room was about forty years old and dressed in an official uniform. He was obviously the magistrate of Xichuan County. He asked the man opposite him obsequiously, and even wiped his neck with his hands.

The man on the opposite side was also in his forties, wearing a Confucian uniform, but his temples were protruding, and he obviously had internal strength.

Su Yue looked at Murongli, but his temples were no different from ordinary people.

Master Gao looked majestic, and he was silent for a long time: "News came from the capital that Patriarch Qi sold all his family property overnight and brought Wanguan's family property to the northwest. Such people will either be used by the master or killed. It depends on how Patriarch Qi chooses."

The fat county magistrate's eyes widened, and he said flatteringly: "What Mr. Gao said is that the next official will hand over the person to Mr. Gao. When Mr. Gao arrives at the sheriff's office, please speak kindly for the next officer."

Mr. Gao looked at him contemptuously: "I will never forget your contribution. This time, your contribution is the greatest. It is easy for someone to catch that group of people. You just need to guard this Xichuan County well, and don't let anyone come in to ruin the master." The only thing is, the master will remember a great merit for you at that time."

The Fat County Magistrate bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gao, what about the refugees? Are there any specific instructions?"

I have been working here for three years. I don't have a lot of money and I have a lot of responsibilities. It is better to get rid of it as soon as possible. If the refugees riot one day, it will be a big trouble.

Mr. Gao said disdainfully: "Whatever he is doing, this year's drought, the Northwest has not received any food at all, and it is a waste to use food to save these untouchables."

"Yes, yes, the next official will act according to the master's wishes. Should Mr. Gao take the person away now or rest overnight and leave tomorrow morning?"

Master Gao showed a tired look: "Let's rest for the night, I'm tired after a day of driving."

"Okay, okay, then the officer will make arrangements."

The fat county magistrate just got up and fell to the ground with a plop.

Mr. Gao looked around, and when he wanted to get up and leave, he fell to the ground with a plop.

"Hey, our drugs are not for bragging, no matter how strong your inner strength is, you won't be able to escape from my palm."

Seeing that they were all fainted, Su Yue immediately took out a piece of steel wire with a hook from the space and opened the window.

The two jumped in quickly, and closed the doors and windows casually. Su Yue threw the two into the space first, and interrogated them later.

The most important thing now is to rescue Patriarch Qi and his party.

Murongli did not expect Patriarch Qi to be arrested by the fat county magistrate.

He should have kicked him hard just now, but it's the same for kicking him later, anyone who dares to touch him.

The two rummaged through the study room and found some letters. Su Yong put the letters into the space, some antique calligraphy and paintings, and some valuable things. Order, we can only wait until Patriarch Qi and his party are rescued.

The two stayed here for only a few hundred breaths before leaving the study.

It's important to save people.

Su Yong is aware of the fact that Patriarch Qi took refuge in Murongli, and Murongli has also told her about it.

When the two found the prison, Su Yue only lightly sprinkled a packet of medicinal powder on the jailer, and all the guards fell down. The two quickly went in, looking for each cell.

This Xichuan county magistrate is really economical, there is not a single prisoner in the empty cell, only an unpleasant musty smell.

When the two found the innermost place, they heard a sound, and they hurried over.

It was dark inside, and Su Yue took a flashlight from the space to light it up.

Patriarch Qi saw a bright light, so he got up quickly and ran to the door to have a look, and saw that it was Murongli.

"Fourth Master, why are you here?" Patriarch Qi was extremely surprised.
