The old man was very happy.

Zhang Qiuhe hurried into the house and closed the door, "Aunt Zhou, a man from Beijing came to the shop today. He held a portrait and asked me about you."

Aunt Zhou was shocked, "You are from Beijing?"

Zhang Qiuhe nodded, "Yes, he also said that our fragrance dew tastes the same as the fragrance dew in Beijing."

Aunt Zhou listened, her face immediately sank, and she turned around and called out the third prince and Zhou Ruiyuan.

The Third Prince frowned and asked Zhang Qiuhe, "Where is he now?"

Zhang Qiuhe replied, "He took the portrait and left. I don't know if he asked for directions from other people."

The Third Prince calmed down for a moment and said, "Don't worry, don't tell anyone about this, let's wait and see."

Zhang Qiuhe didn't ask any more questions and nodded in response.

Guardian Li didn't ask anyone in the shops because he was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he went straight to Magistrate Li.

When Magistrate Li saw that he was from the capital, he immediately calmed down, "Sir, what are you doing in our Cheng'an County?"

Guardian Li sat down, took a sip of tea and said slowly, "I came here to find someone under the order of the emperor. I hope Magistrate Li can cooperate with us."

Although Magistrate Li was an official in Cheng'an County, he was nothing compared to the people in front of the emperor in the capital.

He lowered his head and said, "Sir, who do you want me to help you find?"

Guardian Li took out the portrait in his hand and handed it to Magistrate Li.

When Magistrate Li saw that it was Aunt Zhou and Zhou Ruiyuan, he was also startled. He reacted quickly and took the portrait in his hand and looked at it carefully, "These two people look familiar."

Guardian Li was immediately delighted and asked hurriedly: "Where are they now?"

Mainland Magistrate Li took the portrait in his hand and looked at it again and again, "I can't remember clearly. You can leave the portrait with me. I will have someone draw a few more and then send someone to look for it."

Guardian Li hesitated.

Mainland Magistrate Li handed him the portrait and said, "Sir, do you not believe me?"

Guardian Li's eyes were calm, and he hesitated for a long time, and handed him the portrait, "Well, I will wait for you here. After three days, you send someone to help me find it with the portrait."

Mainland Magistrate Li smiled and nodded, "Yes, sir."

Guardian Li listened to Magistrate Li's words and stayed in his mansion.

At night, Magistrate Li really asked someone to draw a few paintings.

The next morning, Magistrate Li handed the painted portrait to Guard Li.

Guard Li took the portrait and looked at it, and hurriedly asked: "Why is it not like the one I drew before?"

Lawyer Li pointed at the portrait and said: "Sir, take a closer look, it's this one."

Guardier Li looked at it for a long time, but still felt that the portrait was not like the one I drew before.

"Bring me the portrait I gave you."

Lawyer Li immediately brought the previous painting over.

Guardier Li took it in his hand and compared it, and saw that it was exactly the same. He was a little confused at first, but when he saw the emperor's seal on it, he no longer doubted it and said: "Okay, take this portrait to find someone."

Lawyer Li smiled and replied: "Yes, sir."

Last night, Lawyer Li made a seal exactly like the emperor's and drew another painting.

At first glance, this painting looks a bit similar to Zhou Ruiyuan and Aunt Zhou, but if you look closely, they are not similar at all.

Lawyer Li really gave the face of Guard Li to the yamen runners to send people to look for it.

Guard Li was a little tired from traveling so he took a rest at Magistrate Li's residence and waited for news.

He waited for five or six days.

Five or six days later, the yamen runner hurried in, "Sir, there is news."

Magistrate Li hurried over and asked, "Have you found the person?"

The yamen runner nodded, "Yes, sir."

At this time, Magistrate Li came out, "Have you found the person? Where?"

The yamen runner pointed to the distance and said, "In Fenghe Village, more than 20 kilometers away."

"Fenghe Village? More than 20 kilometers? So far!" Guard Li frowned and was a little surprised.

Magistrate Li smiled and said, "Yes, the villages here are far apart, and Fenghe Village should be the farthest village. If Guard Li doesn't want to go, I will take people there."

Guard Li hurriedly stopped him, "Forget it, I'll go by myself. Thank you for your hospitality these days."

He said, turning around and preparing to leave.

Magistrate Li heaved a sigh of relief. He specifically told the yamen runner to say this mainly to get the guard Li to leave.

Guard Li had no doubts. After receiving the gift, he got on the carriage and left.

After seeing off Guard Li, Magistrate Li sighed at the door.

He dropped his sleeves and turned to prepare

Prepare to enter the house.

At this time, a woman slowly came behind him, "Excuse me, does Madam Liu live here?"
