My harem is a bit big

Li Di bowed with a very humble attitude:

"That's right, sir. I'd like to call my subordinates. What are your orders?"

"I have been searching for several days in three districts, but there is no trace of Magistrate Zhou. I suspect that he is probably in the south of the city. Can you guys sneak in and investigate?"

"This……"

Li Di grinned bitterly, looking very embarrassed:

"Sir, the crossroads in the south of the city are guarded by foreigners. It's difficult to break through."

Seeing Chen Yufan's serious face, he hesitated for a moment and then changed his words:

"There is a black market near the city where people can be smuggled into. My subordinates will go there in person to gather information. However, they cannot go deep into the south of the city. Once caught by patrolling guards, they will be shot dead on the spot."

"Why, are you afraid of death?"

"No, no, no, I'm afraid I won't be able to send it out if I get the information."

Chen Yufan grabbed the gavel and slapped it on the table:

"Okay, from now on, you will find a way to enter the south of the city to investigate. If there are any clues, be sure to report them in time."

"Yes, my lord."

"In addition, look for Magistrate Zhou's portrait. Go to the printing workshop and issue a reward order. As long as you can help find Magistrate Zhou, you will receive a reward of 2000 taels, regardless of whether he is alive or dead."

Finally, he paused for a moment and corrected:

"This money will be transferred from the Yamen's accounts."

"Yes, my lord!"

After receiving the order, all the detectives present became busy.

They found a portrait of Magistrate Zhou and asked the painter to copy one.

Then send it to the workshop for batch printing.

Given the urgency of the situation, the police officers worked very efficiently.

In order to share the bounty, almost no one fished.

The distribution was completed in just one noon.

The people in Wanguo City started talking a lot after seeing the reward order.

Some people say that this bounty is simply insincere.

Magistrate Zhou is an official here, and he doesn't know how much money he has earned without his conscience.

Even if the reward is changed to 5000 taels, there is nothing wrong.

Others clapped their hands and cheered, wishing that Magistrate Zhou was dead.

While he was an official, he only dealt with the affairs of wealthy gentry and wealthy businessmen.

Many places in the city have not changed at all.

The pit outside the government office that remains unfilled all year round is a vivid example.

The lives of these poor people are getting worse and worse.

Some people remain rational and feel that the world is as dark as crows.

If the Zhou magistrate dies, the court will send someone else to take office.

Maybe even more greedy and hateful than him.

The disappearance of the county magistrate this time is like snowflakes flying all over the sky.

The news spread wantonly in the city and became the focus of discussion among the people after dinner.

……

South of the city, Maria Church.

A middle-aged man is in the center.

He wears a string of silver-white crosses on his chest, which is very conspicuous.

They are church members who came to the City of Nations on the orders of Queen Victoria.

The priest had warned Claude at Shanks' restaurant last month.

Unfortunately, follow-up did not yield any results.

In front of him is a female believer who is focused on praying.

The bright sunlight passed through the blinds and shone on her face.

This person is clearly a little fish from the Red Flower Club!

120 Chasing Wolf

Why does the little fish from the Red Flower Club appear on the foreign chassis?

The specific situation is temporarily unknown.

Judging from the two people's attitude that they didn't feel embarrassed at all, this was not the first time they had met.

After a while, she finished her prayer.

Seeing this, the priest crossed himself on his chest and offered his blessing:

"May the Lord bless you, kind girl."

Xiao Yu'er raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.

His eyes were as calm as water, without any ripples.

Behind the priest is a knight in armor.

He stood in a place where the sun was not shining, as if he wanted to blend in with the shadows.

"I'm sorry to have delayed you for so long."

The priest looked kindly and nodded gently at her:

“As the Lord’s messenger in the world, when believers repent, they should be responsible for enlightening them.”

Xiao Yuer pulled up his gray-black hood, covering most of his face:

"It's getting late, Father. It's time for me to go."

"No problem, girl, it's a pleasure to work with you."

The two met here today and seemed to have reached some kind of deal.

She put on her mask and left through the back door of the church.

After passing through three or four buildings, Xiao Yuer came to an open space.

Here, parked was an ox cart filled with hay.

She took a few steps forward and jumped on.

Push aside the hay and hide inside.

"Lao Li, let's go, the matter is settled."

"okay."

The man riding the bull pulled the rope and changed the direction.

Making the ox raise its hooves and make a mooing sound.

Soon, the ox cart drove along the coastline towards the forest deviating from the south of the city.

There is a winding path there that takes you around to the east of the city.

At that time, we will get off the bullock cart and enter the city, and then make a long circle.

You can return to the Red Flower Society's stronghold without anyone noticing.

Recently, they were stalked by beggars from the Buyi Gang.

If you want to go out, you can only do it secretly.

The ox-cart is no better than the horse-drawn carriage, and is much slower.

After driving for a while, we were finally far away from the crowds.

The man named Li looked hesitant and finally asked:

"Sister Yu'er, I have a question. I don't know whether I should ask it."

From the haystack behind him, a low voice responded:

"If you want to ask, just ask. If I say you shouldn't ask, you will say the same thing, right?"

Old Li smiled honestly and expressed the questions in his heart:

"The Xia Dynasty was corrupt and the people suffered greatly. I still can't understand why you want to cooperate with foreigners? If you help them and overthrow the Xia Dynasty's rule, then the guy riding on top of us has just changed from an emperor to a foreigner. . In essence, the people who are suffering are still the common people. Those who are not from my race must have different intentions. If you help foreigners like this, it feels like you are inviting a wolf into the house..."

"No, it was not the wolf that was attracted, but the tiger."

The little fish pushed aside a small part of the hay, leaving enough space for breathing:

"This move is a tactic to drive away wolves and swallow tigers."

Lao Li tilted his head and looked a little strange:

"Sister Yu'er, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Let me ask you, if the Red Flower Club unites the people of Wanguo City and Haizhou City to revolt, what will be the result?"

"Well……"

Lao Li thought for a while and felt a little unsure when he spoke:

"Either we get rid of the bureaucracy and establish our own power. Or the uprising fails and is suppressed by the imperial army."

"Yes, but have you ever thought about the geographical location of Wanguo City and Haizhou City?"

Seeing that the other party was deep in thought, Xiao Yuer continued:
