Three days later.

Inside the magistrate's mansion.

Cao Hede, who was locked in the house, was sitting and reading a book. He ran to the Yamen to discuss the mountain ghost with his father. inside the house.

According to the original words of magistrate Cao, yes.

"I think you are stupid in reading and reading! What do you think your father is? Is he the emperor? Do you have the ability to lock such a big mountain? This ban was ordered from above, and you went to suppress bandits. What kind of conspiracy is there? When someone enters Phoenix Mountain, they will take the black hat off your father's head!"

When he said this, Cao Hede vaguely remembered the fat dangling from his father's face, and every stroke was full of greed for life and fear of death.

He originally thought that the closure of the mountain was due to his father's connection with the bandits, but now that he looked at it, he might have other considerations.

Cao Hede thought about it but couldn't clear up the doubts, and the magistrate of Cao Hede also banned him from going out, so Suoxin stayed in his room to read and study, but he vaguely remembered and forgot something.

Until, his window sill was tapped twice.

Hearing the movement, Cao Hede thought he heard it wrong, and put down the book hesitantly, until the window sill was knocked again, he hurried forward, opened the window, and the face of 'Niu Er' Leng Bangbang came into sight .

"Uh... Brother Niu..."

Hairpin Xing didn't have much patience, and expressed his intentions concisely and directly.

"A woman came to the house this morning to look for you. She said that Ah Fu was captured by the mountain ghost. The young master asked you if you want to take care of it."

"..."

Cao Hede's complexion changed drastically.

"what!"

He lifted up his robe and was about to go out through the window, but staggered a few times in embarrassment, almost fell over, but fortunately, Xing Xing kindly grabbed his collar.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Cao Hede, who didn't fall and ate shit but was almost strangled to death, held his throat and coughed heavily, before alarming the guards.

The corner of Zan Xing's mouth twitched slightly, he directly held Cao Hede by the collar, tapped his toes, and disappeared into the night without a sound.

"what!!!!!!!"

A horrific howl resounded through the sky.

"Bang!", the door opened.

"Master!"

The guards of the Cao residence looked at the empty room and the wide open windows, and the young servant who chased in from behind immediately shouted.

"Help!! Come here!! The young master is gone!!!"

A dark alley outside the magistrate's mansion.

Cao Hede, who was 'held hostage', had weak legs and sat on the ground slumped. Jiang Lingyi, who had heard his wailing, rubbed the center of his brows with a headache.

"I asked you to bring him out quietly."

"..." Hairpin Xing was speechless, and silently lowered his head.

Cao Hede at the side felt a little hot, he forced a smile and explained.

"It has nothing to do with this brother Niu. Yes, I was careless and made you laugh."

The scholar is weak, but Cao Hede has a bit of backbone. After a while, he straightened his clothes and looked serious.

"The matter of Ah Fu..."

"I asked them and his wife to wait for you in the restaurant. Now that you have come out, my mission is complete."

Jiang Lingyi looked like she didn't want to interfere, but Cao Hede didn't mind.

When he went out to study, Cao county magistrate had repeatedly told him not to meddle in his own business. Now that he is willing to take himself out of the county magistrate's mansion, it is already a great kindness.

Cao Hede bowed his hands solemnly, thanked him repeatedly, and left in a hurry.

The county magistrate's mansion was in chaos, and Jiang Lingyi frowned slightly as she watched Cao Hede limping away from the back.

"Master, I am incompetent."

Hairpin star lowered his head, a little guilty.

"It's okay, everything is going according to plan."

"Yes."

.

In Cao's mansion, hearing the servant's report, the county magistrate Cao slapped the table and shouted angrily.

"Why are you still standing there! Hurry up and look for it!"

Everyone responded dumbly, but Magistrate Cao's face was still ugly, and he turned to look at the master beside him.

The suspected teacher straightened his body and quickly shook his head.

"No, not a subordinate."

He wanted to cry without tears.

Originally he thought he was smart and wanted to climb up to General Qin, but this usually good-tempered boss was actually a smiling tiger. Now the whole family is in his hands, and now he has to bear a big blame.

After thinking about it, the master became more and more desperate, and he knelt down.

"It's really not a subordinate! The whole family of subordinates are still here with you, how dare you dare to touch the young master!"

He cried with sincerity, but County Magistrate Cao was upset when he heard it. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but in the end it was only one sentence.

"Go out, go, find out who he has been with recently, and who has come to him."

The master quickly responded, got up and walked out.

However, just after the master left, there was the sound of a sharp object piercing the window paper, and with a "pop", Magistrate Cao turned his head, only to see a tree branch piercing the window paper, embedded in the wooden pillar, and the end of the tree branch At the end, there is also a piece of cloth tied.

He stepped forward and tore off the strip of cloth forcefully.

But at this time, the He family's food restaurant just saw Cao Hede and his wife, his knees softened, and tears fell first before he could speak.

While crying, the woman hammered her heart heavily, and opened her mouth wide in despair, but unfortunately she couldn't speak, and could only let out a hoarse and ugly roar.

Heping was crying, and the eight-foot man knelt on the ground, crying badly.

"Brother Heping, sister-in-law, get up first, and tell me how Ah Fu was taken away." Cao Hede bent down to help the two of them up, with serious expressions on their faces.

Heping raised his hand and wiped his tears viciously with his sleeve, and choked up.

"Yesterday, Cuilan and I were too busy, but the folks in the village sent a message, saying that Ah Fu's grandma is not good. We thought about closing the shop and going back, but we haven't finished cleaning up here, Ah Fu can't wait. Let's go first. We thought she had gone back to the village a few times by herself, and there would be no problems, who knows... who knows!"

The man slapped himself in self-blame, and burst into tears.

"I'm the one who's sorry for Ah Fu! I'm incompetent as a father! Everyone says she was taken away by the mountain ghost, my daughter... my daughter..."

Seeing this, Cao Hede quickly stopped him, and he grabbed Heping's wrist seriously.

"Brother Heping, this incident is just an accident. Besides, there are no mountain ghosts. There must be someone doing dirty things in the mountains in the name of ghosts and gods."

Peace widened his eyes.

"Young master, is what you said true?!"

Facing those gazes of Qi Yi, Cao Hede's heart sank, and he nodded heavily.

"Then, what can we do..." Heping's face became more and more desperate, and he wept bitterly.

"My Ah Fu! My daughter!"

If it wasn't a mountain ghost, then it was a bandit. The woman's complexion was pale, and she collapsed limply on the ground.
