Outside Dang'en City, a raging fire ignited, and many people from Dang'en City stood on the battlements of Dang'en City and watched.

A few drops of sweat emerged from Zhang Xiaoluo's forehead, and the heat coming from him seemed to be on the edge of a stove.

This fire lasted for three days and three nights, but it was so lonely!

Not only did they force the locust demon out, but they almost caused a fire. In the end, the people of Dangen City were dispatched to put out the fire together.

In Dang'en City, in the lobby of the government office, Zhang Xiaoluo, Nie Jiazhen and others sat on the chairs in a dusty manner.

It was really a dusty face, but no face was clean! It was all darkened by fire and smoke.

Kong Youwei, the magistrate of Dangencheng County, ordered people to bring in a few basins of clean water and asked Zhang Xiaoluo and others to clean it.

After some cleaning, the faces of several people were finally able to see them.

However, even after washing his face, Nie Jiazhen and others' faces were still gloomy as if a bucket of ink was poured on, which was terrible black.

This time it was a bad start, and the fire plan full of confidence did not work at all.

"Mr. Nie, according to Xia Guan's observation over the past few days, he has not found any clues about the locust demon. Not to mention the locust demon, he has not even seen a locust. Have you made a mistake?"

Ask for help.

Zhang Xiaoluo frowned slightly. There were obvious signs of grass and trees outside the city being eaten by locusts. Kong Youwei said that he had not seen a single locust?

"There will be no mistake in the tips. Either the locust demon happened to transfer the position, or it received the message and left early." Nie Jiazhen shook his head and said.

"Those sirs might as well rest here first. Maybe they can wait until the locusts appear." Kong Youwei said.

"Okay, then we'll stay there for the time being." Nie Jiazhen nodded.

"Then I will continue to give orders and will definitely entertain some adults." Kong Youwei smiled and bowed and retreated.

Soon, Kong Youwei's men took Zhang Xiaoluo and the others to their respective residences.

In the evening, after a sumptuous dinner, Nie Jiazhen gathered the big guys together.

"I think this Kong Youwei has problems." Qin Ren expressed his opinion as soon as everyone gathered together.

Nie Jiazhen glanced at Zhang Xiaoluo, Zhang Xiaoluo understood it and then spoke: "I also think there is something wrong with this County Magistrate Kong."

"It seems that you all think he has something wrong." Nie Jiazhen nodded.

"So, Lord Nie also thinks he has a problem?" Zhang Xiaoluo asked.

"Of course, Kong Youwei's behavior should not be like this. At least, the county magistrate Kong I saw was different from the description." Nie Jiazhen said.

Before Nie Jiazhen came to Dangen City, he had a detailed investigation. If the investigation website of the Pacification Department was called second, then no one in the world dared to be second!

From the time Kong Youwei was born to the present, Nie Jiazhen has long kept all the stories about him in mind.

The book records that Kong Youwei was definitely a honest official and a parent official who truly served the people.

Moreover, Kong Youwei never flatters and cannot use such a sumptuous dinner to entertain visitors.

Kong Youwei should be very thrifty!

"I think Kong Youwei is still the same Kong Youwei, but he has something to do in his mind." Nie Jiazhen thought for a while and said.

"Your sentence is so profound. If you don't have enough brains, you'll have to think about it for a long time." Zhang Xiaoluo complained.

"Then are you smart enough?" Nie Jiazhen asked with a smile.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Didn't you mean that Kong Youwei hides things from us and doesn't want us to know, so he is confused and loses his usual demeanor?" Zhang Xiaoluo said.

"Well, I'm quite smart, so I'll leave this task to you." Nie Jiazhen nodded with a smile.

"What the hell? What mission?" Zhang Xiaoluo was stunned for a moment

Down.

"Go and investigate Kong Youwei." Nie Jiazhen said.

"I'll go? Isn't this what you black riders should do?" Zhang Xiaoluo asked with his eyes wide open.

"Your Majesty said, let me take you out for training, how can I let you down? Don't you let me grind you?"

"Otherwise, if you go back and sue me, my black hat will be unsafe!"

"I have old men and young men, and my family has a dozen mouths, and I don't dare to lose my job." Nie Jiazhen said with a smile.

Zhang Xiaoluo gently slapped himself and muttered: "It's really worth it! Why do you show off your IQ randomly?"

"I'll give you five people and two more days. I want to know the result. I don't care about the process." Nie Jiazhen said with a serious face.

"I understand, what about you?" Zhang Xiaoluo asked.

"Me? Of course I will continue to track the locust demon! This guy should still be near Dangen City. After all, except here, no other place can match." Nie Jiazhen said.

Zhang Xiaoluo came outside the door, carefully selected five black cavalry, then winked at Qin Ren and prepared to leave.

Halfway through, Zhang Xiaoluo suddenly stopped and turned around and asked, "Then I have completed the task. Is there any reward?"

"This is what Your Majesty means, so if you want a reward, you will go to your Majesty." Nie Jiazhen blamed the emperor and Chen Guangze.

"Stingy, you can just get a private red envelope. I can recognize you as half of the master." Zhang Xiaoluo said.

"If you fight with the locust demon, I suggest you push your face up. If you have such a thick face, you will definitely be able to defend against his attack." Nie Jiazhen teased.

Zhang Xiaoluo rolled his eyes to Nie Jiazhen and turned around and left.

The next morning, Zhang Xiaoluo and his men gathered at the yamen gate and happened to meet Kong Youwei who was about to go out.

"Mr. Zhang, where are you going?" Kong Youwei greeted Zhang Xiaoluo with a smile.

"I don't dare to take it. I don't have any official position in the court. I'm just a fool. Just call me Xiao Luo." Zhang Xiao Luo said.

"I think Lord Nie has a high appreciation for you. He will definitely be one of the best people in the court in the future. It is also worth it for me to please me in advance." Kong Youwei's face was filled with smiles.

"You said this, it's reasonable." Since Kong Youwei wanted to flatter, Zhang Xiaoluo just took it. Anyway, Nie Jiazhen said it, he was thick-skinned.

"Then I'll go and do it first." Kong Youwei nodded to Zhang Xiaoluo and signaled, then walked out of the yamen.

"Sir Xiao Luo, do you want to follow?" a black cavalry asked.

"Hmm? Lord Xiao Luo?" Zhang Xiaoluo looked at the black rider and found that it was a very young face.

"Hehe." The young black rider smiled.

"Look at your smart boy, what's your name?" Zhang Xiaoluo asked.

"Xue Zhengping." Xue Zhengping replied with a smile.

"How old is this year?" Zhang Xiaoluo asked.

"Eighteen, I've just entered the Black Cavalry for two months." Xue Zhengping replied.

Zhang Xiaoluo muttered to himself that he was two years older than him, so wasn’t he a younger brother in front of Xue Zhengping?

"Take two people, follow, follow from afar, only half an hour, and then come back to the yamen to gather." Zhang Xiaoluo ordered.

"Okay!" Xue Zhengping took the order, took away two black cavalry, and chased him in the direction where Kong Youwei left.

"What about us?" Qin Ren asked.

"We?" Zhang Xiaoluo stood at the yamen gate, looked around, and then his eyes fell on a teahouse not far away.

"Let's go and have tea." Zhang Xiaoluo pointed to the teahouse.

"Drink tea?" Qin Ren widened his eyes, feeling a little disbelief, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

Isn't you going to investigate Kong Youwei?

?Why are you going to have a tea? Isn’t this lazy?

Without further explanation, Zhang Xiaoluo went straight to a teahouse located diagonally opposite the yamen.

Because this teahouse is located in a prime location, the rent in this area is very expensive, so the tea in his house is also ridiculously expensive.

However, this does not hinder those who are good at tea from coming here to taste.

Besides, tea is divided into good or bad. You can’t afford to drink expensive things, so can’t you drink some cheap things?

But this cheap one actually charges a tea fee of ten copper coins per person! These ten copper coins are enough for ordinary people to drink tea five times outside!

But Zhang Xiaoluo still paid the money and asked for a receipt.

He was drinking tea on duty, so he kept a receipt, what if he could be reimbursed?

Zhang Xiaoluo found a seat by the window and took Qin Ren and the others to sit down.

After a while, the tea came up.

Because it was the morning, there were quite a few people drinking morning tea! After a while, Zhang Xiaoluo and the others found that the teahouse was full of people, two floors, full of spaces! Even outside the teahouse, there were no empty spaces.

Two stalls were temporarily set up to disperse the passenger flow.

"My stomach is so big that we are doing?" Qin Ren couldn't help asking, seeing that he had already drunk a stick of incense.

"Look at that thin man over there." Zhang Xiaoluo pointed to a table outside the two tables next door, surrounded by four pretty people.

"Who is fanning?" Qin Ren asked.

"Yes." Zhang Xiaoluo nodded.
