Chapter 72
The next day, the gambling house that had already opened its doors was closed, and a woman with disheveled hair hung in front of the door.
It has long lost its former glory.
A group of gamblers pushed aside her hair curiously, looked at her resentful eyes, and took two steps back involuntarily.
"Isn't this the owner of the casino? Why are you here?"
"It's no wonder that the casino didn't open today. It turned out that it was ripped off."
"Tearing the ticket? It would be great if it was really tearing up the ticket, and we don't have to pay back the gambling debt we owe."
Listening to this, Fangzhu, usually a gambler with a smile on his face, is now swearing at each other.
"This casino is finally closed."
Passers-by spontaneously formed a circle and smashed rotten eggs and vegetables on Fangzhu's clothes.
The rotten eggs exuded an unpleasant smell, as if the cheers of the common people had finally been released.
"This gambling room has been here for 10 years, and no one has ever sued her. The feng shui turns, and there is today."
At this moment, Li Xiaoyuan and Lin Qingruo hid in the dark and looked at the workshop owner who was usually sought after by thousands of people, but now he was beaten all over his body by rotten eggs, and the resentment in his heart was relieved.
"We should go to the Miao Mansion to remind Miao Xizheng to show up appropriately."
The two changed out of yesterday's clothes and wore plain coarse cloth, walking in the crowd, they were quickly submerged.
"The matter is done. As the head of a county, you have to go and have a look and be a good person."
Miao Xizheng understood Lin Qingruo's meaning in an instant. This was to let him send charcoal in the face of hardship, so that he would have a better life in front of her in the future.
"Don't worry, you two, I'll go right away."
Miao Xizheng led the yamen servants slowly to the front of the gambling house, and signaled to the yamen servants around him to stop the crowd from using too much force, all they had to do was put on a show in front of the gambling shop owner.
In the end, Miao Xizheng rescued Fangzhu and apologized falsely to Fangzhu.
"I'm late, don't blame me, these troublemakers don't mind arguing with him."
The owner of the workshop looked at Miao Xizheng, who was humming and humble in front of him, and couldn't get angry with him, so he could only swallow his anger and let Miao Xizheng send people to hunt down Lin Qingruo and Li Xiaoyuan.
"I hope you send heavy troops to hunt them down. Even if you want to turn Lin County upside down, you will see people and dead bodies."
Fangzhu was so angry that his teeth were itchy, he had never been wronged like this, let alone being hanged for a whole night, he was even more angry.
"Don't worry, Fangzhu, we have sent several people who have seen them and promised to draw their portraits."
Miao Xizheng dismissed the workshop owner with a few words, returned to the mansion, and immediately told Lin Qingruo and Li Xiaoyuan the news.
Lin Qingruo was ecstatic when she found out about this.
"I came to be a painter, and no one knows our looks better than myself."
Li Xiaoyuan was a little curious, how could she draw the two of them?
Miao Xizheng asked people to prepare pens and inks, but Lin Qingruo waved them in front of the two of them.
After a while, he handed the pen and paper to Miao Xizheng, and asked him to refer to the painting by the way.
"The county master doesn't think this portrait looks like it?"
Holding the portraits of herself and Li Xiaoyuan, Lin Qingruo raised her eyebrows like Miao Xizheng and asked.
Miao Xizheng stared at the painting in Lin Qingruo's hand for a while before he understood.
"It really is a good strategy for the golden cicada to get out of its shell."
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, holding this portrait, even if they searched the whole city, they couldn't find another one.
"I'm going to ask people to put up portraits all over the streets and alleys, so that everyone who passes by will recognize them. The people in this portrait must be caught carefully, so as not to disappoint the gang leader."
Lin Qingruo and Li Xiaoyuan laughed heartily, with this portrait, they could just buy themselves some time.
"You take this portrait to her and ask her to recognize it and see if it looks like it."
Miao Xizheng came down to find the owner of the workshop with his hands, and took out the portrait swaggeringly.
"Look, isn't it?"
The owner of the workshop stared at the portrait and looked again and again, always feeling that Miao Xizheng was fooling himself.
"I've seen the two of them, they are definitely not like this, they have beautiful features, how can they be so ugly, the county magistrate won't just use the portraits of the two of them to fool me, right?"
Seeing the situation, Miao Xizheng pretended to be angry.
"The owner of the workshop thinks that the magistrate is just using personal portraits to fool you. I have seen these two people, and they look like this. Moreover, the most expensive painter I hired was to reproduce the models of the two of them. I personally After checking the portraits, Fangzhu thinks that the official is blind and doesn't understand what the prisoner looks like?"
As soon as these words came out, Fangzhu was speechless, and once thought that he had made a mistake.
So I won't criticize anymore, as long as I can catch those two people, I don't care what he looks like.
"No matter what, you have to see people when you live, and you have to see corpses when you die. If such a thing happened on your site, I can't explain to my master that my master will investigate, and the county magistrate can't get away with it."
The owner of the workshop glared at Miao Xizheng viciously. Just now he led the yamen servants to drive away the crowd slowly, as if he wanted the crowd to throw more rotten eggs and vegetable leaves.
"The landlord's words are wrong. I have turned a blind eye to the usury on my site and never asked about it. Now that the gambling shop has been flooded, I have brought people to the rescue as soon as possible, and With the portrait, this sincerity is justified even if you sue the emperor. On the contrary, the owner of the workshop has done a lot of evil things, and there will always be one or two ignorant people who want to offend you. If there are one or two more, I can't guarantee that I will still be able to let you off the rope next time."
As soon as Miao Xizheng finished speaking, he left with the yamen servant. Taking advantage of the power behind him, the gambling house had long thought of himself as a display to find an opportunity to deal with her. Now that it can make her speechless, it can be regarded as revenge .
On the other side, Lin Qingruo and Li Xiaoyuan came to the street and looked at the portraits that didn't look like themselves posted all over the street, and they wanted to laugh.
"I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen someone so stupid as you, drawing yourself so ugly in public."
Li Xiaoyuan looked at Lin Qingruo with admiration, she also had an idea, and it was the most critical time.
"You don't understand this. Although I often lose the chain, I never lose the chain at the most critical time. Miao Xizheng holds this portrait. Even if he searches for a lifetime, he can't catch us. Wait for the reaction of the Fangzhu Come here, we would have fled long ago, and Miao Xizheng won't get caught in the fire, wouldn't it be great?"
The two smiled at each other.
After settling the gambling house, Lin Qingruo and Li Xiaoyuan came to the inn, and Han Ming sat beside him sullenly.
"What we promised you will definitely be done, and you don't need to be so depressed. Your mother is now homeless. If we go to find her now, we will definitely go back with you."
Han Ming's eyes lit up, he came out this time with a determined mind, and wanted to bring Wang back. If it was true as Lin Qingruo said, the books in this life would not be considered in vain.
"As long as you help me bring my mother back, I will listen to you in the future."
