Mingjia received a reply from Chuanzhou, a birthday gift from her master and brother, and helpers arrived.

Mingjia is still very happy here.

In the front office, Yang Tingxuan had a headache.

The case of the Baiyi tribe this time is not only an internal matter of the Baiyi tribe, but also has other tribes secretly involved.

The Qumu clan leader initially agreed to Xiao Qingshan's request to report the crime in order to get rid of the suspicion that the Baiyi clan wanted to become an enemy of Xiao Tongzhi.

But... the leader of the Qumu clan did not expect that things would develop like this.

Originally, the leader of the Qumu clan had planned to resolve the matter within the clan, but now it involves human lives, or six lives.

There are regulations in Daliang that human life cases in various places must be reported to the court. Even if the case is solved, the file must be sent to the Ministry of Justice for review.

Now, the third elder of the Baiyi tribe has privately searched for Yang Tingxuan.

The third elder admitted that he indeed planned to become the clan leader, but the person he sent to rob was a female businessman.

Moreover, the third elder never wanted to silence the people who helped him. Now the third elder cannot clear his name by jumping into the Yellow River.

Every day, the six younger members of the family would go to the door of the third elder's house before dawn to make trouble, demanding that the third elder pay for his life.

When the third elder saw that the matter was exposed, he could no longer be the leader of the clan, so he came to the government office to report to the government.

This old guy is very arrogant. Anyway, he just wants to intercept a female merchant, and the crime will not lead to death.

"I just saw that the female businesswoman was pretty. I can like her. That's her blessing!"

Compared with the attempted robbery of a civilian girl and the murder of six members of the same clan, the third elder could still tell which one was more serious.

The third elder was sitting in the hall of the government office and said to Yang Tingxuan in a very arrogant manner.

"Aren't you Zhizhou? Tell that man surnamed Meng to investigate quickly! Clear my name!"

"At worst, I'll take that female merchant back and give her a title!"

Yang Tingxuan opened his right hand and rubbed his temples on both sides with his thumb and ring finger.

Yang Tingxuan now seriously doubted that he had been too polite to the various tribes in Dianzhou before, and actually allowed this third elder to be so arrogant in front of him.

Over the years, Yang Tingxuan has put a lot of effort into maintaining harmony with various tribes.

Yang Tingxuan kept a close eye on all the subsidies given by the court, and gave every tribe no less than a copper penny.

When dealing with government affairs, the clan leaders of each clan will be notified in advance of major matters, and some adjustments will even be made according to the customs and habits of each clan.

As long as foreigners are allowed to participate in large-scale sacrifices or celebrations of various ethnic groups, Yang Tingxuan will participate on behalf of the government.

Every April, the Lemo people hold an activity to pray for rain. The locals call this activity Rao San Ling.

It takes three days of walking from Dianzhou City, passing through several large temples, and there will be sacrifices, singing and dancing activities along the way.

As a sign of the importance of the event, the government will send out officers to control the streets and vendors in advance, leaving enough space for the procession to pass and showcase singing and dancing.

Of course, Yang Tingxuan's efforts were not in vain. The relationship between the various ethnic groups in Dianzhou and the government was indeed unprecedentedly harmonious.

Thinking of this, Yang Tingxuan squinted his eyes again and glanced at the third elder sitting aside.

Now, Yang Tingxuan just wants to say one thing: fart harmony!

Even though Yang Tingxuan was in a very angry state, he still keenly discovered the problem in the third elder's words.

"The report I received is that Miss Qumu, the head of the Qumu clan, met a gangster. When did she become a merchant girl again?"

Yang Tingxuan suppressed his anger, raised his head and asked the third elder.

"That girl Qu Mu got the message and ran over to disrupt my plan. That girl wasn't hurt at all!"

"Tell me from the beginning, what's going on!"

At this moment, Yang Tingxuan no longer wanted to continue chatting with this idiot.

But Yang Tingxuan still had to force himself to sit here and listen patiently to the third elder's story.

Yang Tingxuan did not expect that the newly arrived state classmate Xiao Qingshan would be here. At first, he really thought that Cheng Si was just passing by by chance.

"Okay, you go back first! I will find out about this matter as soon as possible!"

Yang Tingxuan was now very irritated after sending away the third elder of the Baiyi tribe. Last year, he received a personal letter from Taifu Xie, just asking about the situation in Dianzhou.

However, the mailing address left by Taifu Xie was Qu County, Chuanzhou. This year, Dianzhou transferred a state magistrate from Qu County, Chuanzhou.

Yang Tingxuan has always been very polite and caring to this Xiao Tongzhi. Of course, this is also related to Xie Boyuan's second letter.

"I didn't bully you, but you tried to stumble me?"

Yang Tingxuan recalled Xiao Qingshan's honest and honest look on weekdays, and was a little unsure about Xiao Qingshan's purpose.

Moreover, Yang Tingxuan wanted to know if there was any handwriting from Taifu Xie in this matter.

Three days later, Mingjia's birthday.

Xiao Qingshan took leave of absence from Yang Tingxuan at noon. Recently, the only major event in the government office was that Miss Qu Mu met a gangster, and it did not require the participation of the state magistrate.

On weekdays, when Xiao Qingshan asks for leave, Yang Tingxuan readily agrees.

This time, Yang Tingxuan suddenly said something pointedly.

"Xiao Tongzhi is indeed a good man who takes care of his family. However, Xiao Tongzhi should also spend more time on his errands."

Xiao Qingshan immediately responded with a smile: "Mr. Yang, if you have something to do, you can give me your instructions. If I don't do my job well, just point it out and I will correct it immediately!"

Yang Tingxuan...he is still good at pretending!

When Xiao Qingshan walked to the backyard, he would inevitably pass by Mingjia's study. Xiao Qingshan knew that Mingjia would be in the study at this time.

Mingjia didn't expect her father to come to the study to find her, so she quickly put down her books and stood up to greet her father.

"Father, why are you here?"

"Jiajia, there is something wrong with Yang Zhizhou's attitude toward me today. I guessed that it may have something to do with what the third elder of the Baiyi tribe said when he came to the government office a few days ago."

Xiao Qingshan thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it was that Yang Tingxuan heard something from the third elder.

"I guess Yang Zhizhou may have misunderstood something? Do we still follow the plan and give Yang Zhizhou your plan for controlling the caravans after the year?"

Xiao Qingshan is now a little worried. Once Yang Tingxuan becomes hostile or defensive towards the Xiao family, some cooperation will not be easy.

After listening to his father's story, Ming Jia didn't expect that the third elder of the Baiyi tribe would suddenly appear.

"Dad, please go back to the backyard first! I'll think about this and tell the truth if necessary!"

Xiao Qingshan...

"Nonsense! Dad would rather not be a magistrate than let you be involved in this case!"

Mingjia decided not to tease her father anymore and took out the letter from Master Xie Boyuan and handed it to his father.

"Yang Zhizhou will be willing to cooperate with us!"

Xiao Qingshan asked Mingjia, pointing to the sentence in the letter about the sixth lady of Dingyuan Hou Mansion.

"Jiajia, what does your master mean by these words?"
