The county and county yamen in the city dispatched all the yamen runners, and even Min Zhuang used them. They searched for the whereabouts of Lord Fan and Luo Kuang. The city gate captain strictly guarded the four gates and checked all the people and vehicles that left the city. Even the Songshan captain led troops to the streets and searched for suspicious people everywhere. They yelled for two days, but had no clue. The acting county magistrate Long Shiyuan was anxious and was frustrated. He had already sent people to whip the news to the Wei Wang Mansion and asked the Wei Wang Mansion to send personnel to support him quickly. Magistrate Fan's identity was special, so Long Shiyuan dared not hide it.

At the entrance of Songshan County, the gates are deserted and deserted. In the past two days, the county magistrate was lost, so the county magistrate Yue Song was in charge of the affairs. Yue County magistrate is a descendant of a famous family. He only got into a small county magistrate at the age of thirty. He was already dissatisfied with it. However, before, he was in power, and he had no choice but to do anything. Now, the person who came was King Wei. As long as he had the ability, he might be valued. Of course, he had to perform well.

Especially now that the magistrate has been kidnapped, if he can take the opportunity to solve this case and rescue the lord, he will definitely be commended by the Prince Wei Mansion. The promotion is just around the corner! The county magistrate Yue, who is enthusiastic about solving the case, has not left the county government office for two days. He ordered two local soldiers to come to his house and move all the quilts. He even spent his sleep in the second hall. Such an opportunity is coming from the sky, and he will be guilty if he doesn't catch it!

On the morning of the third day, the county magistrate Yue, who was in charge of the county yard, was thinking hard. The yamen runner Hu Si dragged a water and fire stick with his right hand and held a letter in his left hand. He ran into the second hall in a panic and shouted excitedly: "Mr. Yue County, Yue County magistrate, the one who wants money is here, the one who wants money is here!"

County Magistrate Yue, who was looking at the case file in front of the public case, was shocked and looked up and saw that it was Hu Si, the yamen runner, and frowned and said, "Hu Si, how old are you, you are still so unstable, you are so stupid! What kind of person is asking for money? Let's make it clear!"

Hu Si ran to the side of the county magistrate Yue, handed the letter from his left hand to the county magistrate Yue, and said excitedly: "Mr. Yue, this is sent by a little beggar. He said that a masked man gave him five taels of silver. He specifically asked him to send it to the county government, saying that the letter was related to the magistrate, and told him to deliver it! The little beggarboy was taken to the class room by Bai Laosan and the others, and was being questioned carefully!"

The county magistrate Yue stood up quickly, took the letter, and quickly took out the letter. It was a piece of rice paper and opened it. He saw a crooked word written on it, "Tomorrow afternoon, Tu Longgang outside the city, you will send someone to put down a thousand taels of silver and leave, and we will naturally release people on the spot! If you dare to send officers and soldiers to ambush, we will tear the tickets!"

County Magistrate Yue sneered, "I'm so brave, I'm so bright and bright, I dare to kidnap the magistrate and the constable and ask the government for ransom. I think you are impatient!" County Magistrate Yue excitedly said, "Take that little beggar Huazi to the second hall, don't scare him or bully him!" Hu Si nodded quickly and ran out to mention the little beggar.

After a while, Bai Laosan and seven or eight soap squads and fast-track yamen runners came to the second hall with the beggars, one by one. The county magistrate Yue laughed in his heart. The magistrate lost the county magistrate, and everyone was scared. Especially Qi Bantou and Bai Laosan, Lu Laowu were the parties involved, and they were as anxious as an ants on the hot pan, fearing that the adults and the arrestee would make any mistakes and involve them again. Although the yamen is a bad guy, he has some money in the yamen. Although his life is not as good as the best, he is more than enough. If he loses his job because of this, he will be so unfair!

The yamen runners protected the beggar to the second hall. The beggar had never seen the official, so they were originally

He collected five taels of silver, and the person who asked him to deliver the letter only said that he would send the letter to the government and pass it on to a yamen runner and finish the task, he could leave. Unexpectedly, he would be detained by the official, which scared him very much. When he arrived at the second hall tremblingly, he found a kind-hearted official sitting on it. Not only did he not ask someone to beat him, but he also asked someone to move a seat for him. He had never seen this scene, and his calves were tampered and he didn't dare to sit there.

The magistrate of Yue County ordered people not to scare the beggar, give him food and drink water. He asked him some questions about the person who gave him five taels of silver, asked the man's body, accent, where to go, and so on. The magistrate of Yue County naturally did not dare to hide it, and said everything he knew. The magistrate of Yue County pondered for a while and asked someone to put the beggar, and the valiant silver was also returned to him. The valiant kowtowed and left happily. The valiant silver was a huge sum of money, and he could improve his life.

Bai Laosan was anxious and argued with the county magistrate Yue with a blushing face and thick neck, "Mr. County magistrate, have you let this little beggar go? We still have to count on him and take those two kidnappers! Oh my, you believe in people too easily. This little beggar must be in the same group as them!"

The county magistrate Yue smiled slightly and said confidently: "Bai Lao San, don't worry, this county magistrate has his own trick! Just go back to the class room and wait for the news!" The county magistrate Yue looked at the two yamen runners and waved: "Lu Heqing, Yu Youzhen, you two come here!" The two yamen runners didn't know what the county magistrate was going to do, so they came to the county magistrate together. The county magistrate Yue whispered: "You two change into the clothes of the people, go out and stare at the beggar for me, don't let him find out, see who he has been in contact with all day, and come back to report to me in the evening!"

The two officers were ordered to go back to change their clothes, and Rufei followed the beggar. The county magistrate Yue did not dare to hide it, so he quickly took people to the county magistrate's yamen to report the situation. Before leaving the second door, someone came in to report, saying that the county magistrate had arrived. The county magistrate Yue went out to greet him and welcomed the county magistrate into the third hall. Long Shiyuan heard the news and was excited. He quickly called the two yamen's yamen to come over and everyone discussed countermeasures. Since these kidnappers could no longer hold back and asked for money, isn't this a chance to catch them all in one go?

It was just a headache for everyone. Tulonggang outside the city was a loess hill without any shelter. It was impossible to ambush the large group of people. Even if a few masters were sent, there was no place to hide. What should we do? Everyone was talking nonsense and had no idea. However, the acting county magistrate Long Shiyuan was very worried.

Later, Guan Yiwen, the chief of the county government, suggested: "Master Long, Lord Yue, I think we would send people from afar to reconnaissance today, and don't get close to Tulonggang! Looking at someone who is leaning over from afar, they can't send people to get the money. According to the letter, they will have to hand over the person later. How could they not send people out? As long as they have someone there, it will be easy. As long as we can catch their accomplices, we will not worry about not being able to catch this gang!" Long Shiyuan subconsciously stroked his chin and pondered without saying a word.

County Magistrate Yue shook his head and said, "Old Manager, this matter is not that simple. Although they agreed to be in Tulonggang, you should think farther away. What if the person who went to give away someone like this little beggar today, he bought it with money? The clue was cut off! These thieves dared to kidnap the magistrate in a noble manner, which is definitely not as simple as the one who looked like money. If he really just kidnap the rich man and rich family in the city, it is not much better than kidnapping the magistrate? If this matter is committed, they will be caught by the government, at least

Kill and decide!”

Long Shiyuan nodded and said with a lonely look on his face: "Old Yue's consideration is reasonable. I am really afraid that Lord Fan will make a mistake. How can I explain to the Wei Prince's Mansion? What the old manager said makes sense. Let's just go in a two-pronged way. Only a few masters are allowed to stare at him from afar. No one is allowed to show up to alert the snake. Arrange two capable people here to give away money! As long as it is a fox, we will show our tail sooner or later, we don't have to be afraid of him!"

Everyone discussed some details and then they dispersed. At night, Lu Heqing, the yamen runner who was following the beggar, came back to report to the county magistrate Yue that the beggar did not contact any abnormal people, but just quietly bought a roast chicken and bought a few oil cakes to improve their lives. The county magistrate Yue nodded and asked him and Yu Youzhen to continue monitoring the beggar. Lu Heqing took the order and the county magistrate Yue leaned on the back of the chair and pondered. It seemed that this clue could not be taken. Perhaps the beggar was used by the thief to divert the government's attention, and it was unknown.

There is a second-entrance courtyard near the north gate of Songshan City. It is the house of the local rich man Mo Datou. Mo Datou is a dye businessman. He came from Luye City the previous year and opened a semicolon in Songshan City. He also set up a house. He hid a beautiful concubine here in the golden house. Mo Datou has not been here for half a year. Now, Mo Datou has not been here for a while. Only the beautiful concubine Fu Yumei and a few maids live here. There are several male servants living in the room where the fallen courtyard is in the outer courtyard, but the Mo family is very strict and male servants are not allowed to enter the Chuhuamen.

In the main room of the Mo family, the young and beautiful hostess Fu Yumei sat upright, looking at the two middle-aged men kneeling in front of her with a majestic look on their faces, and cursed angrily: "Xie Yingdong, Wang Chengbao! You two are so brave! The order given by the lobby owner was to assassinate Fan Chenglin and Luo Fengyang. You two dared to make their own claims and kidnap the two of them and ask the government for money. Are you two obsessed with it? The main reason for the lobby is to know about this matter. Whether the money can be spent is a trivial matter. The heads of you two will have to be grounded! At that time, the trouble will be made, and even we will suffer with it!"

The big man on the ground, Xie Yingdong, was the one who kidnapped Luo Fengyang and Fan Chenglin. He took off his mask and showed a fierce face. He looked like he was not a good person. Xie Yingdong kowtowed and said, "Fu Die, it's too late to say anything now! He also blamed us brothers for not losing money when we bet, and we were anxious to lose. We wanted to make some money and make money. Brother Chu Shan had already taken Luo Fengyang and Fan Chenglin out of the city, and was about to get the 1,000 taels of silver and slaughter them on the spot, so that we would never miss the orders of our lobby owner!"

The little man Wang Chengbao also said: "Fu Die Envoy, one person does things and one person does it. If the lobby owner really blames others in the future, we two will naturally bear it with all our strength and will never implicate Lord Die Envoy and Mr. Mo!"

Fu Yumei sighed, "You guys! What's the point of saying you are! Even if you admit that the matter was your own actions, wouldn't I have to take the blame for being a poor man? How long has Chushan been out of the city? Is it still too late to send someone to catch up with him? Those two people want to be killed on the spot, so how can they still be exchanged for money? Even if you two lose money by betting, they can't be so jealous that they are joking about their lives!"

Xie Yingdong and Wang Chengbao looked at each other, shook their heads together and said, "Brother Chu Shan has taken them out of the city for at least two or three hours. Now, it is absolutely too late to chase them! Maybe they have already arrived at Tulonggang outside the city!"
Chapter completed!
