Chapter 056
After Lu Hechang and Yao Mingyang woke up, Hu Yuan truthfully told Lu Hechang the cause and effect of their knocking out, and showed Lu Hechang the instructions from "Jiang Tiancheng" sent by Liang Haiming.
"Fake." Lu Hechang listened to Hu Yuan's explanation, looked at the instructions for a while, and then threw them on the desk.
"I sent those three criminals back as they requested." Hu Yuan said, feeling a little guilty: "You don't blame me, do you?"
"What's the use of blaming you." Lu Hechang sighed: "Even the dignified fourth-rank officials of the Tang Dynasty can't do anything to them. What's the use of us little seventh-rank officials pretending to be heroes."
"I'm worried that this will bring us trouble," Hu Yuan said.
"What's there to worry about?" Lu Hechang shook his head and said, "Don't worry, you and I can't do this kind of thing even if we want to, and we can't escape if we don't do it. Let's just let nature take its course."
"What's the meaning?"
"Just follow Cui Gong's wishes and stop provoking these foreign visitors. Don't they just want to settle in Datang and return to their homeland?"
"yes."
"This kind of thing, within reason, is not considered a case of rebellion."
"But this is a serious case investigated by Lijingmen and the Ministry of Punishment. Can we change its characterization?"
"We can't change it. We just have to see how Cui Jianfeng changes."
"Aren't you worried that Jiang Tiancheng and Zheng Mingjie will sue us for robbing the prison and letting the criminals go?" Hu Yuan felt a little uneasy about this.
"Both of these two people may have connections with these sky thieves and have been caught by them. So, I guess they dare to sue us."
"Then what will we do next?"
"What do you mean?"
"Are we going to live here?"
"The prisoners are gone, what are we doing here? Go back to the county office."
"Where will you live after you go back? Will you be at your original place again?" Hu Yuan asked.
"That's no longer necessary."
"Then where do we live?"
"We will live in the county government office. When we get back, we will ask Magistrate Zheng to free up two rooms for us to use for official duties. Starting tomorrow, we will work at the county government office."
"How will we work in the future? Will we continue to investigate?" Hu Yuan asked again.
"I can't make the decision now. When I get back, I'll find a way to contact Mr. Jiang and do what he wants."
"Okay, Yao Du, what do you think? Tell me now and I'll do it."
"I don't have any opinion." Yao Mingyang shook his head and said, "After listening to what you said, I feel that our previous ideas were too naive. Since those people are visitors from outside the world and possess a large number of artifacts, how can those of us who use swords and arrows
Could he be their opponent? Well, I don't want to be too wild. Just do what Lu Yuanwai wants."
"Okay. I'm going to gather the people, take inventory of supplies, and evacuate this place."
In this way, the three of them quietly returned to the county seat with their troops and entered the county government office.
But their behavior puzzled Magistrate Zheng.
why?
Because the officials from above would live in his territory, which would cause a lot of interference to his handling of the case, he was naturally not very willing.
However, since he was an official sent by the imperial court to investigate and handle the case, he naturally could not refuse. He had to follow Lu Hechang's request and vacate the two rooms used by the county magistrate for Lu Hechang, as "the god descended to earth to handle the rebellion case"
"Room" (At that time, such small institutions often had the word "yuan", but according to modern usage, it is recorded as a management room, that is, an office).
The county magistrate is unhappy, but there is nothing he can do about it. In a small county like Wucheng, how can there be so many official houses for the officials from above?
The fire a few days ago did not reach the county government office. The main reason is that the county government office is not located one after another like commercial buildings, but maintains a certain distance from the street shops, so the fire did not burn here.
Lu Hechang also asked for temporary housing, which troubled Magistrate Zheng. There were many spare rooms in the backyard of the county government office, but one of them was used by him as a golden house to hide his beauty, and the rooms next to it were for Lu Hechang and others.
Wouldn't your love affair be exposed?
"This matter will be settled for you in two days." Magistrate Zheng had no choice but to use a delay to stabilize Yuan Lu. He had to move the second lady he had recruited as soon as possible. Otherwise, these court officials would learn from the people below.
If the queen went to see these vacant houses in the backyard of the county magistrate's office in person, wouldn't her own scandal be exposed?
In this way, as soon as he retired in the evening, he could not wait to sneak into his concubine's room, explain the reason, and ask her to leave immediately.
Unexpectedly, Sun Xiaofang was not in a hurry at all, and still acted coquettishly to him and let him stay with him for half the night. This made Magistrate Zheng very embarrassed.
"It's okay," Sun Xiaofang narrowed his provocative eyes and smiled, which made Magistrate Zheng lose his mind and couldn't help but accept the "service" of this little goblin.
"You have to leave as soon as possible." After the couple had been tossing around for a while, Magistrate Zheng said with a face: "Otherwise, if we are discovered by those high-ranking officials from the court, you and I will both be in jail, or even
Ask Zhan."
Magistrate Zheng was just the son of a cloth shop owner from a small county town. How could he know the complicated background of Sun Xiaofang, a prostitute from Pingkangfang, Chang'an?
Sun Xiaofang just smiled lightly at Magistrate Zheng's threatening words and told him to go back quickly, and he would leave soon.
Although Zheng Mingjie was worried, he had nothing to do with the little goblin in front of him. He had no choice but to follow her words and ask her to take away all her feminine products before leaving, so as not to leave any clues to the officials from Luoyang.
"Okay, okay." Sun Xiaofang smiled and nodded: "You still can't trust me?"
"Should I find someone to help you move?" Zheng Mingjie asked again.
"No, please leave quickly. Anyway, I don't bring much, I can take it away myself."
"Well, I'll rent a better house for you to live in in a few days."
"Isn't the whole county town burned down? Where can I find a good house to live in?" Sun Xiaofang smiled angrily and pushed him out.
Of course, her green building was also burned to rubble. Apart from Zheng Mingjie finding another house for her, where should she go to find a place to live?
But this young lady is not an ordinary mistress. Her decision to let Zheng Mingjie leave with peace of mind is also a strategy, that is, to ask him to help her find a place to live as soon as tomorrow. And what about her?
Didn't I already mention it before? Doesn't he also have a substitute who can do "routine business" for the county magistrate when he is away? Yes, that is the county watchman, what are you afraid of?
The watchman has a new idea, that is, changing his wife.
In this way, Sun Xiaofang promptly vacated the house according to Magistrate Zheng's instructions. Soon after Magistrate Zheng left, he asked the county government watchman who sneaked in to quickly clean up the women's supplies he had brought and clean the house for a while.
Leave quickly.
She understood that Magistrate Zheng was too suspicious and was not at ease now. She would check to see if he had left after a while. So shortly after Zheng Mingjie left, he called the county watchman, cleaned the room and left in the blink of an eye.
After a while, Magistrate Zheng, who was worried, came quietly to see if the second wife was gone. When the building was empty, he took a deep breath of relief.
But what he didn't expect was that at this time, the second wife was hugging the watchman in the watchman's room not far away, performing a watch song. Of course, this husband is the husband's husband, not the wife's husband, and more
