Chapter 333
Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief after putting Cao Shu on the Hejian County Prince's Mansion.

That night, they waited until dark before returning to the county office.

The little lady went to bed early.Cui Pu leaned on Mu Jiaojiao's shoulders aggrieved, and complained miserably about the little lady's forgetting her father, then suddenly changed the subject: "You said, it's safe to put her with the king of Hejian County. ?"

"In Hailing County, it's considered the safest place. Even if someone from the Cao family came, they would definitely search the county prince's mansion last. And... they might not have the guts to do so." Mu Jiaojiao said.

"That being said, I always feel uneasy. That old man, he is not the kind of person who can obediently submit to us!"

That's what I said, but... "It's the only way to do it now. For the rest, let's make a long-term plan when the person arrives!"

"Hey, let's think about it again, I'm almost exhausted! What kind of shit is going on every day?" Cui Pu let out a cry, rubbing his head on her shoulder again, "You're the best lady. And I am the most comfortable and at ease when you are together!"

Me too.Mu Jiaojiao thought in his heart, and patted his head.

In a few days, someone from the Cao family really came, and when they entered the door, they shouted majesticly: "Cui Zhixian, you hurry up and hand over my thirteenth lady! The thirteenth lady is already a member of Shouwang's mansion." , not something you can afford!"

Cui Pu glanced at the calm man behind him, and said with a sneer, "What does Steward Cao mean by that? What does your thirteenth wife have to do with this county? I've never even seen her in this county's life. How can there be contamination?"

Steward Cao also sneered and said, "Master Cui, you don't have to quibble. We've come all the way, and we've already found out—my thirteenth wife is here to see you! Someone saw it with their own eyes!"

"Who saw it? You call them to confront me." Cui Pu said.

Butler Cao hesitated.

It is true that someone saw Cao Shu coming to Hailing County with his own eyes.However, as soon as he said that he wanted them to help testify, when those people heard that they were going to go to the county government, they all trembled in fright, no matter how much favor he offered, they refused to agree.In their words——

"This county magistrate is not an ordinary person! Didn't you see that the county magistrate of Tianchang County, his relatives are even the favorite concubines of saints, they can be dragged and beaten by him, and they are not afraid of chasing him to Chang'an. We are mere grassroots people , How dare we fight against him? We still want to live a few more days, so let’s forget about it.”

Then, he ran away desperately.

So now, they come alone.Although he kept claiming that there were witnesses, no one could be pulled over.

As for entering Hailing County, the situation is even more serious.As long as they asked about the situation of people coming and going in Cui Pu's house, those people would squint their eyes and stare at them with anti-villain eyes.

As a result, in the end, not only did they not ask any useful news, but they also felt a bit like street rats out of thin air—they always had a feeling that as long as they dared to say a bad word about Cui Pu, these people would rush forward Kill them all!
How did Cui Pu educate these county residents?Everyone seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, why did they support him so much?The people in Tianchang County still miss him until now, and now the people in Hailing County are starting to do the same...

He has been in Chang'an for a long time, and he is used to living a pampered life, so he doesn't understand the psychology of these common people - Cui Pu, the county magistrate, has brought real benefits to the common people.Needless to say, the economic income that Tianchang County has witnessed, and since the leisure villa in Hailing County was built and put into use, the political status of the entire Hailing County has risen rapidly.In just a few months, there were many more dignitaries coming and going to Hailing County than before, and there were many high-ranking officials whom they had only heard of before.In the eyes of the people in other states and counties around, they have become the people around the nobleman.Although I can't get in touch with the nobles for the time being, I can see it from a distance anyway!If you are lucky, you can still hear the nobleman talking.No amount of money can buy such luck.

This kind of psychological and status superiority is much more valuable than the money in hand.And their Hailing County is not short of money!

Therefore, they naturally defended Cui Pu, the county magistrate, spontaneously—they also expected him to continue to carry forward this cause, making others envy and hate them even more!
Seeing that Guanshi Cao was dumbfounded by Cui Pu's words, the person who stood quietly said slowly: "Cui Xianzun, I am the meritorious serviceman of Shouwang Palace, and this time I came to Yangzhou to pick up Cao Shisan." The lady went back to Chang'an. Mrs. Cao Shisan has been betrothed by the Cao family to Xiao Changshi in the residence of Prince Shou. You must already know this? Xiao Changshi is the right arm of His Highness Prince Shou, and has won the trust of Concubine Hui and the saint. This marriage has already passed the eyes of Concubine Hui, I don't think you want to rob the Xiao family, do you?"

It's different from the group after Lanling Xiao's. They hit the topic directly when they opened their mouths, and threw three blockbuster bombs in one sentence.

However, did he think that this would blow him out of his wits?

Cui Pu still looked innocent and helpless. "Gong Cao, I really don't understand what you are talking about! It's true that Mrs. Cao Shisan is my wife's natal cousin. But their cousins ​​have always had a bad relationship. How much has she suffered under my wife's hands?" Bitter, don’t you know? And being able to marry Xiao Changshi as his wife is her blessing, and she is also a high ranking member of the Cao family. How could she refuse such a great marriage? She even traveled thousands of miles from Chang’an to Chang’an! Is she crazy and stupid, she ran to Yangzhou to join Xiaguan, a seventh-rank sesame official, just in case the Lanling Xiao family would not marry?"

Hearing what he said, Pei Gongcao believed that Cao Shisanniang must be in Hailing County!after all……

"Xiao Changshi has already married a wife and had children. The Cao family promised her to Xiao Changshi as a concubine."

"Being a concubine? No way!" Cui Pu immediately exaggeratedly shouted, "She is also a lady of the Cao family, how could she be a concubine for someone... Ah, I am not saying that Xiao Changshi is not good, but that Cao The Cao family is not so shameless, and take a little lady to curry favor with the Xiao family... No, no, I am not saying that the Xiao family is not good, and the Cao family is also a family that wants to save face. Send it to someone to be a concubine? If it is said to be sent to the prince’s house, it’s fine, but now it’s given to a long history..."

When these words came out one after another, Guanshi Cao blushed and became more and more speechless.Pei Gongcao also became embarrassed.

He hurriedly interrupted him in a deep voice: "Cui Xianzun, you don't need to talk about it anymore. Since this marriage has been settled, there is no room for comment. Now, you should hurry up and invite Mrs. Cao Shisan Come out! The sage has always valued you, and the concubine Hui and His Royal Highness the King of Shou certainly don't want to make things difficult for you."

Pulled Concubine Wu Hui and Shou Wang out so quickly to scare him?Has he ever been afraid of these two people?

Cui Pu's face changed when he heard this: "You two are sure that Mrs. Cao Shisan is in Hailing County?"

nonsense!They inquired all the way over here!Moreover, now he is the only one who has the courage to confront the Wu family blatantly.As long as Mrs. Cao Shisan is not stupid, she will definitely come to them!
Guanshi Cao and Pei Gongcao nodded together.

"Alright then! If both of you say that, then the official will order people to search from house to house. If Mrs. Cao Shisan is in Hailing County, the official will definitely be able to find her!"

Nonsence!

Do you still use door-to-door searches?Aren't people here with you?
Pei Gongcao took advantage of the situation and said: "Since this is the case, how about Cui Xianzun you to set an example and let us search your house first?"

"Okay!" Cui Pu readily agreed.

He actually agreed?so refreshing?
There must be a scam here!
But... maybe this is his purpose?Deliberately agreeing so freely is to make them think that he is not here, so they let him go!
Countless ideas popped up in Pei Gongcao's mind in an instant.At the end of Cui Pu's words, he nodded: "If that's the case, then we will not be polite!"

It's just that, the result of this search, of course, is that no one is seen.All the people in the county government also denied that there was someone like Mrs. Cao Shisan.

"It doesn't matter if you don't find the person, Hailing County is big! Don't worry, take your time and look for it bit by bit. The officials promise to cooperate fully until you find Mrs. Cao!" Facing Pei Gongcao and Cao Guanshi's ugly face, Cui Pu said seriously.

Pei Gongcao couldn't put on that calm look anymore.

He glanced at Cui Pu coldly: "Since that's the case, we are the ones who interrupted you today. Now let's go to the post house to rest, and we will work out a regulation before tomorrow, and come tomorrow to discuss with Cui Xianzun how to find someone."

"Okay, okay!" Cui Pu promised still so readily, "You two, please go slowly. By the way, if you have time, remember to go to the bun shop next to the post house and try the three fresh buns there. It's delicious. Guarantee that you will want to eat it again after eating it once!"

They were all so anxious, how could they have the heart to eat steamed stuffed buns?

Pei Gongcao responded casually, and hurriedly left with Guanshi Cao.

The two of them entered the posthouse and dismissed the idlers, Pei Gongcao finally turned cold: "The one surnamed Cui hid him."

"I think so too. However, how do we know where the man is hiding? Everyone in Hailing County is protecting him like this. I'm afraid we won't be able to find out any useful information." Cao Guanshi said frustratedly .

"That's not necessarily true." Pei Gongcao shook his head lightly.

Cao Guanshi immediately looked at him.Pei Gongcao said slowly: "On the way here, Mr. Wu Erlang sent me a letter, telling me that there was a brother of his aunt's family beside Cui Liu. The father and son came to him from Chang'an, but they were kept by him. Look, it's been the most sleazy and clumsy work these years. These two have hated him for a long time, and if we start with them, maybe there will be progress."

The actions of these two people naturally cannot escape Cui Pu's eyes.

When he learned that they had quietly connected with Zhao Tian and his son within two days, Cui Pu just smiled knowingly.

"This father and son are really hopeless! Tell me, how should I punish them this time?"

"They've all been reduced to sweeping the streets and pouring night fragrance. It seems that there's nothing better for them to do now, right?" Mu Jiaojiao frowned.

Cui Pu also sighed: "I knew they were so capable, so I took my time. Throwing them to that position in one go, so that there is no room for them to go down one level now, it's so boring!"

"You should watch their performance first! Maybe this time they will surprise you!" Mu Jiaojiao said with a smile.

"The two of them? Is it possible?" Cui Pu expressed disbelief.

But it turned out—he was really taken aback!
Zhao Tian and his son were guided to Pei Gongcao's place. No matter how intimidating they were, the father and son didn't say a word, insisting that Mrs. Cao Shisan had never been to Hailing County, and they had never seen her in the county government!
This is really strange!

"Did the two of them take the wrong medicine?" Cui Pu felt something was wrong no matter what he thought, "I have to meet them! See what the hell they are doing again!"

Soon, Zhao Tian and his son were brought to him.

The father and son have done rough work for several years. After years of training, they have experienced a lot of vicissitudes.But the wretched energy all over his body has not diminished in the slightest.

After finally seeing Cui Pu again, the father and son immediately burst into greasy smiles.The smaller one rushed forward without waiting for Cui Pu: "Cousin, we didn't betray you yesterday. They paid a price of [-] guan, and we didn't say anything! How about it, should you give it to me?" Some rewards for us?"

"Okay, what reward do you want?" Cui Pu asked.

"Well..." Zhao Xiaoliu's nimble eyeballs rolled around, and then he turned his eyes to his own father.

Zhao Tian said: "Master County, you have also seen that your cousin is almost twenty! Now that he is at this age, he should get married, right? We don't ask for anything else now, just ask for your help Be a master and book him a marriage!"

It turned out to be like this.I deliberately did such a thing to ask for credit and reward, in exchange for a good marriage.From this point of view, the little lady they are looking for is not ordinary!

Cui Pu wanted to test their appetite, so he nodded and said: "Yes. Tell me, what kind of little lady do you want?"

When Zhao Xiaoliu agreed, he quickly said: "Actually, my requirements are not high. I don't want my wife to be beautiful or intelligent. I just want her to be gentle and considerate, and willing to spend a good time with me."

"Stop talking nonsense and talk about your specific standards!"

"That... I think the little lady who just came to our place a few days ago is very nice."

Depend on!
Cui Pu scolded directly.He actually wants to marry Cao Shu?Toad wants to eat swan meat!

"Impossible. This marriage can't be done." Cui Pu shook his head immediately.

"Then, if she can't do it, then the mung bean lady next to Madam! I heard that she is good at cooking, and I will have a few mouthfuls of good food every day after marrying her."

Nonsence!

Mung Dou is now Mu Jiaojiao's left and right hand after Hong Dou, and now many people in the house are staring at her!These people line up together, and it won't be his turn until next year!
"This is also impossible."

As he said that, Cui Pu's heart suddenly moved.He couldn't help sizing up Zhao Xiaoliu for a long while, then he suddenly laughed out loud: "I haven't seen you in a few years, you've learned a lot! Well, now I'll give you another task, if you do it well, then No matter who you want to marry, as long as you can make her nod and agree to marry you, I will let you go unconditionally, how about it?"
