"But you can't blame me entirely," County Magistrate Tang said: "How do I know that Zhou Jin is her father and that Chang Bo is investigating Zhou Man?"
The attendant was confused, "Master Yang is checking Miss Man?"
Magistrate Tang covered his forehead and said, "Go back quickly. That Nizi is very clever, and Bai Shan is not a bad person. It won't take long for their family to know."
County Magistrate Tang paused for a moment and said thoughtfully: "So the longevity lock is worn by Man Bao? That is not a current case, but an old case. The man was timid, but he was tortured
I dare not say, it is very likely that there are many people involved and they are acquaintances."
Attendant: "Sir, can't you just say you are from their village?"
Magistrate Tang gave him a sideways look, "Who said it's just people from their village? Now I don't even know what they did. Chang Bo didn't tell me anything."
At this time, Magistrate Tang didn't know, and Yang Heshu didn't know anything either.
Man Bao and Bai Shan discussed it and both felt that Magistrate Tang's purpose was impure, so they didn't have much time to read in the library.
Man Bao habitually walked to the window and climbed in, while Bai Shan subconsciously entered through the door.
The gentleman on duty couldn't help but squinted his eyes when he saw Bai Shan coming in, and asked, "When did you go out?"
Bai Shan paused for a moment and then said calmly: "I just went out. I went to relieve myself. Didn't I say hello to my husband?"
"Really?" The gentleman frowned. Could it be that he was so absorbed in reading that he didn't notice it?
Bai Shan nodded affirmatively: "Yes."
Then he went in, collected the things on the table, picked up the three books he had found early in the morning and wanted to borrow, and walked to the front to register.
Bai Shan is still in Class A and Class 3, but his ranking is there, so he has the authority to borrow books.
The gentleman on duty in the library still likes to lend books to Bai Shan, because the books he borrows are all serious books, and he reads them quickly, and the books he returns are not stained.
So every time Bai Shan borrows a book, as long as it is not too precious, they will allow him to take it out.
The teacher registered him, handed him the book, and said with a smile: "Keep up the good work, Mr. Zhai is bragging to us, saying that you can be in the top five in the next year-end exam."
Bai Shan raised his head and smiled shyly at him, put the book in the basket and left.
The two county magistrates relied entirely on the confessions of Chang Ming Suo and Le Tou to infer that a case had occurred, but they knew nothing about the case. However, the old Zhou family knew everything about it, so Man Bao went home and found
As soon as Zhou Lang said this, cold sweat broke out on Zhou Lang's back.
He swallowed and asked, "You said that Magistrate Tang asked about my father and my brother-in-law?"
Man Bao nodded, "Did something happen to dad during the few days we were out? Fourth brother, how about I go home with you?"
"Don't," Zhou Lang calmed down a little and said with a forced smile: "With so many brothers at home, what can happen? If something happens, they will send people to call us back. Yizhou City is about 100 meters away from Luojiang County.
It’s not far, you can get there in one day.”
Bai Shanye said, "That's right, if you don't worry, I'll ask Daji to go back with your fourth brother."
Daji:...He doesn't quite understand. What's the use of him going back?
Zhou Lang couldn't think too much now, so he subconsciously nodded in agreement.
Daji frowned and said: "Master, I can only run errands when I go back, but it is not as useful as a letter from you. If you are really worried, why not write a letter to the old lady? One sentence from the old lady is more valuable than the small one in person."
It’s much more useful to go back.”
Zhou Lang and Man Bao also looked at Bai Shan eagerly.
Bai Shan nodded immediately, "Okay, then I'll write a letter to Brother Zhou and take it back."
Daji retreated to the back.
Zhou Lang went out early the next morning, but his speed was still far behind Magistrate Tang.
His courier set out yesterday afternoon, took his handwritten letter and rode quickly to the capital. He changed horses when he encountered a post station along the way, and finally caught up with Magistrate Yang with five carriages on the evening of the next day.
He ran all day and all night, and his legs were weak when he dismounted.
Wan Tian did not dare to delay, and quickly asked someone to support him and carry him to see Yang Heshu.
Yang Heshu frowned and asked, "What emergency happened that made you run so hard?"
The messenger was speechless, so he took the letter out of his arms and presented it to him.
Yang Heshu quickly took the letter and opened it. He scanned it at a glance, and then stared at the letter in a daze.
Wan Tian called out somewhat uneasily, "Master?"
Yang Heshu gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "Tang Zhihe!!!"
Wan Tian immediately lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
Zhihe is the name given to the magistrate of Tang County. When the two of them were on good terms, they would naturally address each other by that name. However, calling each other by the last name and the given name together meant that the young master was very angry.
Yang Heshu threw Tang He's letter aside. Although he was angry at Tang He's decision, he still suppressed his temper and said, "Serve the pen and ink."
Wan Tian immediately retreated to prepare the Four Treasures of the Study. Yang Heshu thought for a moment and said to the messenger: "Trust me and let them send it back. This matter is no longer urgent."
The messenger breathed a sigh of relief. If he had to rush back all night, he would probably die.
Yang He wrote two letters, one to the Tang County magistrate, and the other to Luojiang County, with his seal on it.
He handed the two letters to Wan Tian and said, "You will take everyone back personally. First go to Yizhou City and then return to Luojiang County."
He mused: "Even if the situation is alarmed, the Zhou family has no power and they can't do anything. They can investigate whatever they want. But you have to keep an eye on Tang He and don't let him use any means on people.
"
He leaned forward slightly and whispered: "The new wheat seeds came from the Zhou family. When he came, I reported the truth. No one knows how much he recorded."
Wan Tian was startled. He had been following his master, so he naturally knew who the "him" the young master was talking about. He swallowed and quickly agreed.
Yang Heshu then sat up straight and said: "You don't have to go to Beijing, just stay in Luojiang County and help Tang He."
Naturally, Wan Tian would not be needed for things like solving cases. He would probably stay and keep an eye on Tang He, asking him not to mess up Luojiang County too much.
Of course, Wan Tian doesn't have such ability. All he can do is hang around Mr. Tang a few more times and ask him to egg his young master. Don't go too far.
Wan Tian received the order, ordered two people, and then rode back on a fast horse. Although the young master said there was no rush, he still ran for more than an hour, and did not stop and camp out until it was dark and he could no longer see the road.
At this time, the adults of Lao Zhou's family were silently worrying around the stove.
From the moment Zhou Dalang arrived home, the atmosphere in their home became a little solemn. Old Zhou Tou sighed. Qian glanced at him and said to Zhou Dalang: "You and Erlang go to Lezi's house and bring him over."
