Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 982
The mayor is in his forties. Although he has no chance to climb to a high position, he has been an official for a long time. These little tricks are still understandable.

Therefore, as soon as Xiao Shuer asked him what he meant, he immediately put on a businesslike appearance, and said very seriously: "It should be a quiet place in a mountain village with simple folk customs, but there are such troublesome people who ignore the law. This officer really did not think of it. I am a small official in a small place, but I am also full of miscellaneous affairs. I usually do not supervise the affairs of the lower levels, and I am inevitably negligent. The special envoy came to remind me today, and it is also for my official. "

After thinking for a while, the mayor said again: "Since there are bullies endangering the village, of course I can't just sit idly by. I will send a few people to Pingshan Village to arrest those bullies. In addition, we must Ask this Wu family, if you dare to buy and sell people from kidnappers, this is also a violation of the law, and you must be dealt with severely."

After listening to Xiao Shu'er, his expression of satisfaction suddenly appeared, he nodded and said: "My lord loves the people like a son, it is really a blessing for the people. After I return to Beijing, I will report to the master, saying that my lord, you abide by the principles of being an official and cherish the people. The people are true."

"This is the truth, the special envoy is clearly aware of it, clearly aware of it." The mayor was immediately elated, and immediately called for someone to come.

After calling for a long time, only the doorman came, and asked respectfully, "But I don't know what orders do you have, my lord, special envoy?"

The mayor looked puzzled and displeased, and asked, "Why are you the only one? Where are the others?"

"Returning to my lord, everyone in the yamen has gone to the neighboring villages and towns to inspect the woman named Zhou Cuilian. There were only two left, but then someone remembered that there was a mountain road leading directly to the next county. In order to prevent that Zhou Cuilian was scheming and fled over the mountains, so the two of them took the portrait and went to the next county to inform them, asking them to assist in arresting her."

This time the mayor was a little scratching his head.Imagine that he promised to go to the special envoy's hometown to eradicate the bullies, but now that everyone in the yamen is looking for that wicked woman Zhou Cuilian again, the whole yamen is empty, so he, the mayor, can't go to Wu's house to arrest people himself.

Therefore, the mayor's expression was a little embarrassed, but he was afraid that he would offend Xiao Shu'er by saying that no one was available.It's really a bit of a dilemma.

This high-level official crushes people to death, and there are no small officials under the emperor's feet.The special envoy from the ancient family in the capital, despite his young age, has great power in his hands.He really dare not offend.

Xiao Shu'er also heard what the boy said, and knew that there were really not many regular troops in the yamen of this small town.Even if the militia was mobilized to assist in the investigation, there were only a few hundred people.So he also understands the mayor's current difficulties.

Xiao Shu'er said: "The mayor has a love for the people, I keep it in my heart. But there are priorities. At present, arresting Zhou Cuilian is still the top priority, so please don't be distracted for the time being. I will go home now." , lest the people of the Wu family attack my family. Once the Lord has news of Zhou Cuilian, please send people to Pingshan Village to arrest the bully. Before that, I will sit in Pingshan Village and watch over the Wu family."

Xiao Shu'er said that he personally watched the Wu family, but in fact, he was guarding against the Wu family's attack on the Liu family.

However, the mayor immediately nodded and bowed his thanks, saying that Xiao Shu'er had helped him a lot by looking at the Wu family in person.Once he got news of Zhou Cuilian, he would immediately notify Xiao Shu'er, and at the same time send someone to Pingshan Village to clean up the bully Wu's family.

Only then did Xiao Shu'er prepare to leave with peace of mind.The mayor rushed over again and said, "Special envoy, but if we find out Zhou Cuilian's whereabouts, which one of Pingshan Village will we go to find you?"

Xiao Shu'er said seriously: "My surname is Liu, and our family is Master Liu of Pingshan Village. Speaking of my father, you should have met the mayor a while ago."

"Oh? Master Liu of Pingshan Village, I have seen it before? But I don't know your lord..." At this point, the mayor's expression changed, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched violently, and he asked: "Special envoy, your lord's Could it be that the name is... Liu Dacheng?"

"It's my father." After Xiao Shu'er finished speaking, he cupped his hands and said, "It was thanks to the care of the mayor some time ago. My father didn't suffer much in prison."

"Hiss..." Right now, the mayor's face is as beautiful as a palette.Of course he knew that the person who came to rescue Liu Dacheng was also a big shot from the capital.

Looking at it now, it's really impossible to judge people by appearances.So a mountain village man with a disabled leg has such a hard relationship.Every time it gets involved, it's all big shots in the capital.

The mayor has already decided in his heart that after this matter is resolved, people must pay special attention to the movements of the Liu family in Pingshan Village, and don't be framed or bullied by anyone again.

Otherwise, this time a big man from the capital came out to help the Liu family. A small official like him who climbed up by buying officials must be enough to drink a pot.

When Xiao Shu'er left the mayor's yamen, the mayor was still beating a drum in his heart, looking forward to it, hoping that his subordinates would find Zhou Cuilian's whereabouts soon and let him settle the matter satisfactorily.

Little Shu'er got on his horse and hurried back home.When he was at the mayor's place, he was ready to return home.But he can't show his timidity, showing his pettiness.That's why he has been pretending to be calm and sophisticated.

Calculating the time now is really not short, he was afraid that the Wu family would take the opportunity to retaliate against the Liu family.And if the Wu family wants to retaliate, they will definitely implicate Chunniu, Siping, Gazi, and Xiaodong.

After riding the horse all the way, it was already evening when Xiao Shu'er returned to Pingshan Village.The bright red light of the setting sun illuminated the whole village brighter than usual.

But Xiao Shu'er didn't want to enjoy the beauty of the sunset at all, so he pulled the horse's head and walked around the path behind the village.This road is remote, and usually no one walks at all, so it is possible to ride directly to the house on horseback, and the speed will be faster.

But Xiao Shu'er didn't expect that when he rode his horse from the path in the backyard and went back to the front yard, he saw a lot of people gathered in the front yard, and most of them were still holding things in their hands.

Xiao Shu'er's heart froze slightly, for fear that the Wu family really came looking for her.

However, at the same time as Xiao Shu'er appeared, among the people gathered in the yard, a girl's voice came: "Shu'er is back. Is he the one riding the horse?"

Xiao Shu'er looked around, and saw a well-behaved girl standing out of the crowd and pointing at herself.The outline of the eyebrows and the appearance of the facial features, at first glance, it is the colorful sparrow of Aunt Niu's family.

And other people also came towards this side when they heard the sound. At this time, Xiao Shu'er saw clearly that the people gathered in their yard turned out to be Aunt Niu's family, Gazi's parents, Wang Chengming's family, and Fourth Uncle Zhang.
