Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 54
At the gate of Ninghai County, Zhao Yi took the portrait of the child and pasted it on the notice board at the gate.

He hired the best painter in the county to draw this portrait in a hurry. The portrait is so lifelike, it's like seeing a real person.It's just that a little cinnabar on the forehead is hidden.

Many people gathered around to read the notice.

"Why did Mr. Qin post such a child's portrait?"

"Who knows how to read? See what's written on it?"

A man who looked like a scholar came over and read: "This county picked up a baby in Heishanzhai. It looks like this. The parents of the child saw this missing person notice and immediately contacted the yamen servant Zhao Yi."

"Oh, so Master Qin picked up a child."

"This is really a strange thing. Looking at the portrait, the child looks blessed. Why do the parents want someone else to abandon them so cruelly? Tsk, it's a pity that such a good doll..."

"It may not be abandoned, maybe it was... stolen by someone? Didn't you listen to the scholar? Our county master picked up the child in the Black Mountain Village."

"These bandits just rob money and food, so why rob a child?"

"I saw that the child is fat and white, so he must be a child of a rich family. Maybe the bandits are using the child as a hostage and want to ask for a ransom?"

"Well, that makes sense..."

Everyone was discussing, when suddenly one person pushed away everyone, squeezed from behind to the front, looked at the portrait carefully, read the words written by Qin Feng next to it, stretched out his hand, tore off the notice, turned his head and left.

"Hey, why did this person tear up the notice?"

"Hey, is it possible that you found it here?"

The people watched the man leave in a hurry, walked out of the city gate, and disappeared.

On the official road outside Ninghai County, a carriage was parked.Behind the carriage, there is a table and a chair.

There is a teapot and a teacup on the table.

A middle-aged man in fine clothes sat on the chair.

Several people around were waiting, pouring water, offering tea, fanning the wind, and shading the sun.

A group of tall horses came galloping from a distance, and the horses were stopped with a rein, and the riders on top jumped off the horses, offered a roll of paper with both hands, and knelt in front of the middle-aged man: "Master Governor, I follow your instructions." , went to Ninghai County to inquire about the news, and saw this just after entering the door."

He unfolded the missing person notice and placed it in front of the governor: "This subordinate saw that the child in the portrait was similar to the child the governor was looking for, so he tore up the notice and asked the governor to have a look."

The governor didn't take it seriously at first, took a sip from the teacup in his hand, and then looked at the portrait.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, all the tea that you just took in is sprayed out, and the teacup was thrown on the ground by the governor, and he stood up abruptly: "This, this portrait is from Ninghai County ?”

"Exactly!"

"Like, it's so similar! Fortunately, I told you to go and have a look!"

The governor pinched the edge of the notice, his hands were trembling: "Huang Tian lives up to it... I finally found it! Hurry up! Go to Ninghai County, go to Ninghai County!"

"My lord, there is no cinnabar mark between the brows of the child in this portrait. Why don't you go and find out the truth and report later?"

The man kneeling on the ground said, he naturally had good intentions.

The governor has been looking for the child in this portrait for half a year. I don’t know how many places he has traveled, and children with similar looks have come into view, but in the end, either the appearance and characteristics do not match, or the age does not match. Every time it fails, a lot of time is wasted.

Because of this, the governor no longer went to every place in person, but asked his men to go down to find out the truth and find out if there was any news about the child. If not, he just left.

They walked all the way from Jiangnan to Ludong, and they were getting farther and farther away from the place where the child was lost.

In Ninghai County, the governor didn't have much hope.Who knew that such a notice would appear in this hopeless county town! ?

"No! I want to go there myself. If this portrait is accurate, then this child is more like him than anyone we have met before! Hurry up! Turn the carriage around and go to Ninghai County!"

The governor got up and got into the carriage, and all the servants immediately put away all the tables, chairs and parasols.

On the carriage, the governor looked at the notification and frowned.

This portrait is lifelike, why is the word next to it written like a chicken claw?And many of them are simplified words.

The dignified governor had to half-read and half-guess to know what the notice was about.

See the signature at the end.

"Qin Feng?"

"How come I don't remember this name? But if you find a child, you have to write a notice yourself. It seems that you should be a responsible official. This word... is too ugly. Could it be a donated official?" ?”

The governor muttered.

Outside the carriage: "My lord, the county government office has arrived. This subordinate went to answer the door just now. After saying that he was here for the children's affairs, he was directly blocked outside. He said that he wanted to find a government servant named Zhao Yi, and the children's affairs should be dealt with." He is responsible."

"My lord, it's really rude for Qin Feng not to come out to meet people. Do you want to tell Qin Feng your identity and ask him to come out to greet you?"

"No need! Since the child's affairs are entrusted to the yamen servant, let's go to the yamen servant named Zhao Yi first."

The governor said urgently that seeing the children is the most important thing. As for etiquette and status, they are nothing compared to this matter.

Look at the child first, if you match the number, then ask other questions, if you don't match the number, just leave.

Can't waste time here.

"Yes, my lord."

The crowd asked two yamen servants, and finally found Zhao Yi.

"You are Zhao Yi?"

Zhao Yi had just fed the child and was cuddling him to sleep. When he saw someone barging in, he hurriedly raised his index finger in front of his mouth: "Shh, I just fell asleep!"

He directly carried the child back into the room, put it on the soft quilt, settled down, and walked out by himself.

"What are you doing?"

"My master is here to see the child. The baby pictured on the notice at the gate of the city is similar to the baby my master is looking for. Please take it out and have a look."

The people around the governor said to Zhao Yi.

Qin Feng had told him a long time ago that it is fine to come and identify someone, but he must find out whether the other party is really related to this child.

"You can bring it out, as my adults have said. Before looking at it, I have to answer a question. This child has a mole on his body, where is it? Only when the answer is correct can we meet."

The governor behind him didn't intend to show up, but when he heard Zhao Yi's words, he raised his eyebrows: "Huh? Interesting. The adult you're talking about is Qin Feng, the magistrate of this county?"

"Exactly."

"Do you know why he asked you to do this?"

"Of course it is to find the real relatives of the child, so as not to be falsely claimed..."
