Chapter 100: It will be no different next time.
In Mengzhou County Government Office, in the early morning, the sun shines on the dew-laden bamboo forest, reflecting rainbow-like light.
In the county government office, an old man wearing cloth and a round hat was rubbing his hands and placing a mahogany box on the table: "Your Excellency, a little care, no respect, no respect." He was called the county in front of him
. The one he honored was a white-faced scholar who looked to be in his early thirties, wearing a seventh-grade official robe. He looked at the old man in front of him with a slightly worried look: "Rich Man Zhu, what do you mean by this?" "This is not for the Ten Years of the Yellow River
. Are you here from the Seven Thieves?" Zhu rich man said while rubbing his hands.
"You are quite well informed." The scholar sneered.
"After all, those who do business should be well-informed." Zhu Zhu looked at the county magistrate and said respectfully: "I heard that one hundred households of Lao Nuo De Lao had successfully captured the remnants of the Seventeenth Bandits of the Yellow River on the bank of the Yellow River, and The gold and jewelery girl has no plans, and I even heard that the thief Huanglongyu was also captured and is on his way back." "
So?" The scholar looked at the rich man Zhu in front of him: "You want to get involved in love too?"
"I want to explain it to you first. The seventeen bandits of the Yellow River were annihilated this time. First of all, it was Master Futai's wise guidance, then Master Zhizhou's sincere teachings about loving the people as sons, and finally my meager errands. "The county magistrate said solemnly.
"That's why I'm here." Zhu Zhu said hurriedly.
The scholar glanced at the rich man and said, "Tell me, keep talking."
"If my inquiry this time is correct, this time Mr. Lawnold went to set up security overnight to detect theft, and the big fish he finally caught in the net was, There is a young woman who is no more than twenty years old." "
And this young woman, Mr. Lawnold, claimed that she was the key figure in defeating the seventeen Yellow River thieves this time." Rich Man Zhu looked at the scholar's face and said cautiously.
"It seems that there is such a thing." The scholar said, with a somewhat disapproving expression: "Let me investigate on the spot and find out the whole story. I will never wrongly accuse a good person, nor let a bad person go..." "
Then That woman..." The rich man looked at the scholar's expression.
"Of course, she will be imprisoned in the county jail first." The scholar said matter-of-factly: "Since she was arrested together with the gang members of the Seventeen Yellow River Bandits, she must be inseparable from these thieves. It will take time to find out the truth. , we can't let her go away. If she is some kind of treacherous thief and flees to other states and counties, wouldn't it be a huge crime for me, Mr. Huang." "Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome." Rich Master Zhu looked
at The scholar said.
The scholar was a little surprised and looked at the kind-faced old man in civilian clothes in front of him: "What good idea do you have?" "
There is no good idea, but there is an idea that can solve the problem for the county magistrate." The old man said quietly: "If the county magistrate If you haven't forgotten, just the day before yesterday, I sent someone to report a river boat being robbed."
"I have an impression." The scholar said.
"And the hijacker was not the Seventeen Yellow River Robbers who have now been crowned, but a young woman who looked ordinary." The old man continued.
The scholar's eyes seemed to light up: "You mean." "
Yes, I had a man who was on the boat at the time, and he also saw the appearance of the young woman who was arrested this time. He can be 120% certain. I'm sure."
"The young woman who was arrested is the same woman who robbed the ship." Zhu Zhu said firmly.
The scholar suddenly clapped his hands: "It's true, it's true!"
"I just thought about how a woman could be among such vicious gangsters as the Seventeen Bandits of the Yellow River, and dare to claim to be the Seventeen Bandits of the Yellow River that she wiped out." "
Even if it 's true." If so, it’s just a farce of gangsters taking advantage of gangsters.”
“You actually want me to report to the court to praise and reward you.”
The scholar said this, tightly holding Zhu Zhu’s pampered hand, and shaking it up and down: "Thanks to Mr. Zhu, if you hadn't seen everything clearly, I almost made a big mistake."
Saying this, the scholar glanced at the mahogany box placed on the table, and pursed his lips calmly: "Mr. Zhu Why do you need to give such a generous gift when Mr. Zhu comes to give me advice?" "
Let's talk about it, Mr. Zhu has helped me, Mr. Huang, so much this time. He is reciprocating the favor. I don't know what Mr. Zhu has to ask for and can help. , I, Mr. Huang, will do my best."
Rich Man Zhu nodded: "Then I know that people don't tell secret words." "
As Mr. Huang knows, my family, Zhu Quanfu, has been doing business in Mengzhou County for generations, so I have accumulated some family property to some extent, and my ancestors once handed down a painting of Phoenix Bamboo and Quiet Spring. It is a famous painting with great age, and it is also an heirloom of my Zhu family." "But in the past two years, a friend wanted to take it back
. I borrowed it from home, but unfortunately it was captured by the Seventeen Yellow River Robbers on the Yellow River. My good friend was also brutally killed." "At
that time, I swore that I would take back this Phoenix Bamboo Spring Picture at all costs, and bring it back to the Yellow River. The seventeen thieves of the Yellow River must be brought to justice."
Mr. Huang County listened attentively. According to reports from those who came back first, some precious calligraphy and paintings of famous people were indeed found among the treasures of the seventeen thieves of the Yellow River. Perhaps there really are such paintings. It's hard to say whether the Phoenix Bamboo Spring Picture is a family heirloom of this rich man Zhu. After all, his friend is dead and there is no evidence of his death. Naturally, whatever he says is what he says.
But at this point, the two of them were finally settled, and Huang Xianzun laughed loudly: "What about this? The property plundered by thieves, if it has no owner, of course it will be handed over to the court, and of course if it has an owner, it will be handed over to the court. A gentleman will not take away the love of others."
"When the treasures are transported back to the county government, I will ask my subordinates to investigate the harvest. If there is such a picture of the Phoenix Bamboo Spring, then it must be returned to the original owner and be enshrined with both hands. "Enter."
"Mr. Zhu, what do you think?"
Zhu Quanfu bowed his hands in salute and thanked: "The county magistrate's mirror is hanging high, so I rely on the county magistrate."
At this time, the county magistrate Huang calmly took the mahogany box and said, He opened a crack and looked inside, only to see a warm and snow-white jade pendant inside. He immediately frowned: "Mr. Zhu, what does this mean?" "It doesn't mean anything."
Zhu Quanfu smiled and said, "I know. The County Lord was born as a Jinshi, and he dislikes bribery the most. However, I heard that the County Lord’s second wife just had a fat boy two months ago. I heard that good jade can protect one’s body and ward off evil spirits, so it’s quite expensive. After a lot of effort, I bought this piece of Hotan seed material from a merchant in the Western Regions, and after it was carved by a famous artist, I rushed to present it to the county magistrate." "It's just a little thing for children to ward off evil spirits
. "My heart."
"I believe the county magistrate will not blame you."
The corners of Huang Xianzun's mouth curved up slightly.
"It won't be the same next time."
ps: Some readers said that the male protagonist was written too little and there were too many subplots.
emmmmm, let me ask, so far in this book, the male protagonist has only written less than one-tenth of the content, okay, you have seen it here, what else do you dislike == and the
male protagonist’s perspective is not suitable for writing, Do I have to let you see clearly how laborious it is for the male protagonist to kill someone seemingly lightly? For example, the previous plot in which the male protagonist followed Xue Ling and Shang Jiuge in the Seventeen Pirates' Camp was written but you didn't like it.
Moreover, it’s great to have a male protagonist with his face half-covered while holding a pipa.
Just like Saitama-sensei, it’s just right when you start playing.
