Magistrate Tang asked them to come in and sit down, and said to Mingli: "Go and tell Madam, I won't go back for lunch, you go and bring the food box."

He asked the two of Man Bao, "Have you eaten?"

The two shook their heads together.

Magistrate Tang said, "Take more."

Mingli bowed in response, and stepped out to help them open the door.

Magistrate Tang looked around and found no tea, so he poured them two cups of cold boiled water and said, "Drink whatever you want."

Bai Shan and Man Bao didn't drink, and got straight to the point: "Master Guan should have recognized me."

Magistrate Tang sighed, "I can't remember what happened between you and your father, why didn't you remember it?"

Bai Shan didn't speak.

He doesn't remember his father, how can he remember it?

It was useless to talk too much, the three of them sat facing each other sadly, and began to think of a solution.

Magistrate Tang asked, "How much do you think Master Guan can guess?"

Man Bao and Bai Shan looked at each other and began to speculate on the worst outcome. Bai Shan thought deeply: "If he knows that I am my father's child, he will definitely suspect that I want to investigate what happened back then."

Man Bao: "I will also know that I led Bai Shan there, and then know that we already know that he knows."

Magistrate Tang asked, "Why does he know that you know that he knows?"

Man Bao coughed lightly and said, "I felt his pulse when he was talking to Shan Bao, and he would definitely guess that I felt it."

County magistrate Tang was curious, "Touching the pulse is really effective? Come on, come and feel my body and try it out. Will I lie or something next?"

Bai Shan shouted: "Master Tang, let's stop making trouble now."

"How can this make a fuss? It's very useful for interrogation, but forget it, it's not the time to discuss this," Magistrate Tang asked, "Then do you think he knows that I already know?"

Bai Shan and Man Bao thought about it seriously, then shook their heads and said, "I probably don't know, we never showed it to him."

"It hasn't been revealed, but he checked carefully. Not to mention the close relationship between the three of you and me, I also lived in Luojiang County for a while. Do you think he would guess that I already knew about it, and is even investigating it?"

Man Bao and Bai Shan opened their mouths together.

If they were themselves, Mr. Guan would deal with the two of them at most, treating them as children and being unconvinced, so they would investigate, but if County Magistrate Tang also ended up...

Man Bao trembled and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Magistrate Tang got up and walked around twice, sighing: "I just don't know if he is an enemy or a friend."

Magistrate Tang put one hand on the table, and said softly: "I don't know who Magistrate Bai went to meet in the other courtyard, but it happened to be in his other courtyard. If he is okay, if it is not him, then it must be There are very close people around him, otherwise he would not choose to meet in his other courtyard."

Magistrate Tang's thoughts turned and he pondered: "I don't know whether Magistrate Bai was defeated in the fight against the King of Yizhou in an aboveboard manner, or because he revealed his deeds."

Forget about the former, but if it is the latter, I am afraid someone has reported it, otherwise, how could the king of Yizhou know such a secret matter so quickly?

Bai Shan and Man Bao also became worried, "Then what should we do, the Yizhou Palace is so powerful, and the Yizhou King is so ruthless, he won't send someone to kill our family members?"

"That's not enough, do you think this is in his fief more than ten years ago?" Magistrate Tang paused at this point, rubbing his chin, and said, "It's not enough to kill your whole family, but to kill you two... ..."

He scanned the two of them up and down, frowned and said, "You..."

He paused and said, "Why don't you go home and hide for a while?"

Man Bao stared, "This is in Yizhou City. There are so many people. Would he dare to kill someone in full view?"

Tang County Magistrate said blankly: "Do you know how many people died in the Shu county government twelve years ago?"

Man Bao paused, shaking his head.

"A total of 28 people, including County Magistrate Bai and his guards," Tang County Magistrate said. The heads of 32 people were taken back, but I checked the files from fifteen to twelve years ago in detail during this period, and I found no one reported that there were bandits near Yizhou."

The two innocent boys and girls were stunned.

County Magistrate Tang said: "Of course, Yizhou King's forces were all inside and outside Yizhou back then, from the Jiedu envoy to the counties and townships under his jurisdiction. Now, Zhang Jiedu envoy has only been here for less than four years. The governor and I are both new. Even if we have a good relationship with the Yizhou Palace, they will not completely obey him. Therefore, it is impossible for him to kill people in Yizhou as he did twelve years ago. However, after one death It's easy for two people."

County magistrate Tang gave them an analogy, "For example, there was a conflict in your school, everyone fought, accidentally injured someone's life, and you died; for example, the patient you diagnosed went crazy, or the patient's family members went crazy. The medicine you prescribed was wrong, or you deliberately prescribed a very expensive medicine, which killed you; another example, the carriage you were sitting in suddenly ran wildly, turned over, and all three of you died..."

Man Bao and Bai Shan swallowed, and looked nervously at Magistrate Tang.

Magistrate Tang sighed, and after a long silence, he said, "You guys should go home and hide for a while, can you ask for leave? If it is not easy to ask for leave, I will write to Changbo and ask him to issue an official document inviting you to go back."

Bai Shan came back to his senses, "Can you still do this trick?"

"Of course you can. Although your household registration is still in Longzhou, you often live in Yizhou City, and it is the prefectural school that Changbo recommended you to take the exam. If there is something in the county that needs talents, you can recall the students from the prefecture to the prefectural school. Of course, it’s up to you to accept it or not.”

After thinking for a while, Bai Shan looked at Man Bao, gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back."

County magistrate Tang nodded, "That's right. If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about no firewood. You are still young, so don't be in a hurry."

Bai Shan was worried, "But in this way, wouldn't it be easier for them to guess that Master Tang and Master Yang are also investigating this case?"

County magistrate Tang said with a smile: "It's hard to guess, and it's okay to guess. At this moment, I know what I should know and what I shouldn't know. What I lack is evidence."

Man Bao: "Then Mr. Tang is not afraid that he will also give you a fall from a horse, fall from a car, get stuck in a meal or something?"

Magistrate Tang said angrily, "Can't you think of a better way to die for me? Don't worry, I'm not you. He doesn't dare to let me die suddenly."

Bai Shan asked: "Is it because of family background?"

"Yes and no," Tang County Magistrate said, "My father is not a vegetarian. If I die here for no reason, my father will not let it go, and this time is different from twelve years ago. Zhang Jiedu envoy Although the Inspector Heming has close contacts with the King of Yizhou, he is not a retainer of the royal family, so it is very difficult to hide it from them and kill me."

Magistrate Tang didn't say anything, his wife is not a vegetarian, nor is his father-in-law's family.

Magistrate Tang smiled and said, "He didn't even dare to kill me when I was in Yizhou City, let alone Changbo. It's safest for you to go back to Luojiang County. With Changbo under his protection, even if he goes there in person, you will be safe. I can't take your life blindly."
