They originally planned to leave after just one night's rest. Who would have thought that they would be stopped just as they were about to leave the town the next day.
What stopped them were two people wearing long black coats. The long coats were broken into strands from the halfway point, and the large hems of the cotton-like clothes were swaying gently in the wind. Their long black coats were
The clothes have a round, loose hood that is buckled on the head, which makes people feel strange in broad daylight. Both of them have their heads lowered and their faces cannot be seen clearly. From a distance, they look like some kind of ocean.
It's like a creature has landed on the beach.
They were both not tall, and were a head lower than Han Chang. He looked at them both, like black mushroom caps.
"You two don't look like locals."
"The magistrate has something to discuss with you two."
The words of the two people went in tandem, and the connection was closer than the two words between each of their sentences.
"..."
Although Xie Zhe stood between Ye Lingyu and Han Sheng, he only stepped back slightly when they stopped him, but he was not completely blocked. There were no passersby around, so he felt as if these two people were deliberately ignoring him.
Ling Huan glanced at Han Shang, and then at Xie Zhe who was behind him. Following her line of sight, the two guys in black coats saw Xie Zhe, and then they apologized.
"I'm sorry I didn't notice you."
"Can you three come with us?"
Naturally, this apology was not sincere enough, but Xie Zhe didn't bother to care about it. The three of them looked at each other, wondering what their intentions were. So Ling Huan asked them:
"When you talk about the magistrate, do you mean the magistrate of Fei County?"
The two people with their heads bowed slightly tilted towards each other, as if they were having a brief and silent communication. Soon, they said:
"It is this lord."
"It would be great if you three heard something."
"How much do you know?"
"Why don't you go sit with us at your house first?"
Their words were really spoken too fast, and their voices were somewhat similar. If you didn't listen carefully, it would seem like one person was talking in a hurry. The three of them froze in place, Han Yang said with a smile, they had to discuss it, and then memorized it.
Turn around to block their view.
"How can I put it...the landlady really got it right."
"That's true. I'm afraid there are informants in the town who saw us coming from outside and asked us for help."
"That's what Miss Ye said." Han Chang looked at Xie Zhe hesitantly, "What should we do? Should we help or not?"
Xie Zhe didn't say anything for a long time. He just went to Qinglize to get something, and he wasn't in a hurry. Ling Huan did the same. No one in his family was chasing him now, so he should be safe for the time being. The two of them seemed to be fine.
Han Chang also had an indifferent attitude. Although objectively speaking, it was just a matter of a few words, but...
The three of them turned their heads at the same time and glanced at the two strange people. They still lowered their heads and made no movement. These two people were indeed too - too abnormal. If two ordinary guards were looking for them,
Maybe he really agreed, but what kind of appearance is this, a private team?
"You are... uh, what are your backgrounds?" Han Chang still asked, "This has to be explained clearly, right? If it weren't for the order from the magistrate himself, we would have believed it in a daze and followed you in a daze, wouldn't it be inappropriate?
?”
"Don't worry, sir, we are the magistrate's disciples."
"There are many people like us. We only obey the orders of the magistrate."
In the previous dynasty, private armed forces had to be beheaded. However, now they can be regarded as turning a blind eye. The rules and regulations have fundamentally changed, and personal teams are still restricted in other aspects. I am afraid this
The status of this group of people cannot be called an army, but as they said, they are just followers.
"It's not that we are not willing to go..." Ye Linghuan has already begun to search for lines for polite refusal, "You see, the three of us are in a hurry. Lanling Town has beautiful scenery, and we hurriedly asked for it before we saw it for a few more days.
Let’s go, it shows that we are really in a hurry.”
But the two men in black didn't seem to buy it. They continued to sing in harmony:
"You can rest assured that we, the county magistrate, will never deliberately create difficulties."
"You must keep the story short. My lord has said that you will be rewarded heavily when the deed is accomplished."
Han Chang's ears pricked up.
"Reward? How can I reward you?"
"Gold, silver and jewelry, whatever your price is."
"Okay, we've taken care of this matter. Okay, lead the way."
"Then it'll be hard work."
As he said that, the two of them stretched out an arm at the same time, indicating the road in the gap. Then, they walked forward to lead them. Xie Zhe and Ye Lingquan were stunned, and they were stunned for a moment before following.
In the past, Ling Huan reprimanded in a low voice:
"Why did you agree so easily without discussing it with us?"
"Your time is not time, our time is very valuable." Xie Zhe was still cold, "If there is a problem, we will tell the county magistrate that you alone agreed and it has nothing to do with us."
The cunning old fox didn't take it seriously.
"Why are you panicking? It's a small scene. Didn't Miss Ye say that we are short of money? If you can make money, you can make a fortune. What's the shame in working to make money? Believe me, I have seen a lot of big winds and waves. Let's see what they are up to first.
"
Zhongli Hanzhang was so confident that both of them felt guilty, but they had no choice but to be led away. At first, they thought they had to go to the county government office to meet the rumored magistrate of Fei County in person. They never thought
, the two led them to a mansion. Thinking about it carefully, they did not ride horses or cars, and the county government was still far away in the city center.
"This is the residence of the magistrate."
"He has been waiting in the deep courtyard for a long time."
Xie Zhe felt slightly unhappy. He said this as if the person inside was sure that they would come. Although they did come, his mood was not as happy as if he came to his door voluntarily.
After entering the yard, they were led by another man in black wadding. This friend was not tall, and as soon as he opened his mouth, they found out that she was a woman. But their clothes were all the same, and they looked different.
Without the face, it is very difficult to determine the gender.
"We're here." After walking for a while, the person leading the way said.
This residence is so big, it feels like they walked the distance from the edge of town to the door here, or even more. Isn't this just the row of buildings they saw when passing by? They thought it was some rich area.
I didn't expect it to be the county magistrate's territory. But why didn't he send someone to stop them at that time? Could it be that he had been observing secretly for a while?
The three of them no longer thought about it, because they saw a man leaning on a wicker chair in front of the koi pond in the courtyard, drinking tea leisurely. They had nothing to do, so they broke it open and kneaded it carefully.
He threw the broken pieces of steamed bun into the pond and watched the beautiful big fish fighting to the death. He seemed to be in a good mood and was humming a little tune.
"Can you sing the fairy tale?"
They were standing far away when Han Shang, who had sharp ears, suddenly heard something and asked.
The man who was lying on the wicker chair with his back to them paused, turned his head, and glanced at them. Then he stood up immediately, straightened his back and walked towards them. He had a somewhat lazy temperament before.
Sweeping everything away, what they saw in front of them was a well-behaved, calm and unhurried young man.
Male. He has a bookish air about him. If you walk closer, you can still see three small moles on his fair face. Two spots are almost completely symmetrical on his cheeks, and there is another about the same size on his left eyelid.
Down, connected in a straight line with the mole on his left cheek. Why does this person have such regular moles?
Is this the magistrate of Pi County? The ends of his short black hair are slightly raised, and he does not look obedient. A few strands of hair are red. I don’t know if they were dyed with pigments from the East, or for some other reason. He is wearing
Except for the cuffs, neckline and hem, it is embedded
The blue and black edges, and the rest are all dark blue clothes, which look clean and new. The colors are not monotonous, but well-proportioned and overlapping. It looks like they are tailor-made. The uppers of his shoes are slightly
Lu, walking steadily, took the lead in bowing when he saw them.
The three of them felt that this man was quite polite, so they returned the favor, otherwise they were afraid of breaking the rules. They bowed so deeply that when Xie Zhe straightened up, they felt their waist bones make a clicking sound.
"I've heard of several famous names for a long time, but I've missed them from afar."
His voice was moderately warm. When he straightened up, the three of them discovered that he was not tall. He was probably over five feet tall, right? However, he looked well-proportioned overall, so he was a little farther away and couldn't see clearly.
Come out. Even though it's close now, it still feels coordinated and doesn't make people feel too low.
"You are..."
"You can be as casual as everyone else and just call me Magistrate." He said briskly.
Ye Lingquan was a little confused: "I've heard it for a long time? Do you recognize us?"
The magistrate of Feixian chuckled lightly, shook his head, and did not answer. The mysterious aura was there, but I didn't know what his intention was. He walked forward, and the three of them followed behind, slowly circling the pond full of koi.
Pace slowly.
"The girl is... from the Ye family, right?" the magistrate said, without stopping or looking back.
Ye Lingquan was naturally stunned. Her throat tightened, and she felt bad. But she suppressed her uneasiness and asked as if nothing happened:
"Where did you start with this?"
"Ah, I received a letter from your Ye family... Of course, it's not for me personally, don't worry." Magistrate Fei waved his hand and still didn't look back, "I got this letter from another official.
Is there someone in your Ye family who is an official? They are very anxious. When I saw you, I wanted to help the little girl who ran away from home get back on track. However, seeing how you and your friends
My friends are doing well, so I don’t want to meddle in their own business. Think about it, parents always think about teaching disobedient children or catching children who run away, but they never think about why they don’t
If you’re obedient, why do you want to leave home, right? Who hasn’t done stupid things when they were young? Since you’re safe, I think you can just ignore this letter.”
"...Uh, well, thank you very much."
Magistrate Feixian said too much in one breath, and Ye Lingyu couldn't fully digest it. From what he heard, he seemed to be being helped. The other party continued:
"But... you said you are really brave and can easily believe in a monster. This means you haven't met a bad guy. If those unreasonable monsters were there, you would have been eaten by them long ago."
Now it was Zhongli Hanzhang's turn to be stunned. He instinctively became alert, which was normal. After all, he thought that his transformation skills were at the pinnacle, and except for being seen by Xie Che's yin and yang eyes, it was normal.
