Patrol's sweetheart baby

"Well. Your analysis is quite correct."

Xie Jinbai nodded, "Zhao Qingsong and Wen Yanpeng have contradicted each other's confessions, which means that it is very likely that one of them lied..."

Tang Xiaotang was a little surprised, he thought this person wasn't listening to what he was talking about just now.

That is, let’s talk about it, do it, why is it so unruly!

Tang Xiaotang tried to withdraw his leg, but failed.

The feet under the table are getting more and more presumptuous, and the movements are getting more and more extreme.

Tang Xiaotang gritted his teeth and pulled back the clamped legs forcefully.

As a result, because the movement range was too large, the knee hit the table hard, and the whole person almost fell down.

His movement was so loud, Master Ge naturally looked at him subconsciously, his eyes were surprised and puzzled.

Tang Xiaotang blushed, "I, I... just, want to..."

I just want to get my legs back, but I can't say it!

hatred!

At this time, the young master was still a sincere child, he didn't have the time to make nonsense in the future, he stammered for a long time, and he didn't know what excuses to make.

"What's the matter? But I'm still thirsty and want to have another cup of tea?"

Xie Jinbai retracted his foot under the table calmly, and spoke naturally.

Tang Xiaotang became even more angry!

He glared at the man fiercely.

He doesn't want to drink tea now, he wants to splash tea!

Master Ge had been standing by Xie Jinbai's side all the time, so he didn't know anything about what happened under the table, he was just confused why Young Master Tang suddenly looked so angry.

Xie Jinbai turned his head and ordered Master Ge, "Master Lao Ge asked Catcher Wang to take four yamen servants to visit the homes of Zhao Qingsong and Zhu Yanpeng for one or two. Focus on asking Zhao Qingsong's neighbors whether he often treats Zhao Xiaorui on weekdays. During the fight and scolding, have you ever seen Zhao Xiaorui and Zhu Yanpeng do something better than their classmates?

As for Zhu Yanpeng, you ask the yamen servant to ask his servants and classmates in the academy whether he is good to Longyang, especially the students of Fufeng Academy, what is the relationship between Zhu and Zhao on a daily basis.Tang'er and I will analyze the doubts in this case again. "

Ge Zhou had found out from the officials in Chun'an yesterday that Tang Xiaotang was the son of a certain prefect's family, so he was not too surprised that Xie Jinbai wanted to discuss the case with Tang Xiaotang.

"Yes."

Ge Zhou bowed his hands and went out to spread the word.

"come over."

As soon as Ge Zhou left, Xie Jinbai waved to Tang Xiaotang.

"Do, what do you do?"

After going out just now, Tang Xiaotang was wary of this person, and immediately opened his eyes wide, staring at him vigilantly.

"Come and sit here."

Tang Xiaotang subconsciously looked at the empty seat next to Xie Jinbai, which didn't even have a stool, and asked strangely, "Where is there next to you, where is the empty seat?"

Xie Jinbai slowly pursed his lips, "Come here, Tang'er will have it."

Tang Xiaotang got up suspiciously and walked over.

He wants to see what kind of tricks this man is playing.

"Seat, where is the seat, where is it?"

Tang Xiaotang searched around Xie Jinbai back and forth, even bent down to look under the table.

Isn't it still empty, not even a chair?

It can't be that this person is so powerful that he can conjure a chair for him in the air, right?

"Look, little Guoer, the seat is here."

Hearing this, Tang Xiaotang's eyes widened and he unconsciously held his breath.

No, won't it?

Do you really want to conjure up a chair and stool from a distance?

Standing in front of Xie Jinbai, Tang Xiaotang was still waiting for this man to perform a trick. Suddenly, his wrist was grabbed, pulled by that force, and immediately sat on Xie Jinbai's lap.

Xie Jinbai held the young master in his arms with both hands, and brushed a strand of hair hanging from his cheeks, his brows and eyes were romantic, naturally affectionate, and his thin lips raised, "Xiao Guoer's exclusive throne, do you still like it?"

Tang Xiaotang's cheeks flushed.

This man is so, so dishonest!

"Don't, don't make trouble..."

This is the rest room in the back hall, but officials will pass by the door at any time!

As Tang Xiaotang said, he broke away from Xie Jinbai's arms and was about to get up from his arms.

Xie Jinbai wrapped him in his arms and told him, "Don't worry, Master Ge closed the door just before he left."

Tang Xiaotang really didn't pay attention to whether Master Ge closed the door before he left.

Even so, because the rest room in the back hall was originally shared by government officials and county officials, there was still a possibility that someone would come in, or it was just a word that Master Ge might be back soon!

"That, that won't work. Master Ge may come back soon, you, let me go, let me go, come down."

Tang Xiaotang wanted to get down, but Xie Jinbai refused, so he writhed in his arms, struggling to get down.

Tang Xiaotang has always slept well, and she often falls asleep as soon as she touches the bed, like last night, she can fall asleep while talking.

Poor Xie Jinbai got up last night and went to the bathroom to take a cold shower twice, and only fell asleep when it was almost dawn.

When Tang Xiaotang made such a move, the evil fire in Xie Jinbai's body was easily ignited, "Don't move."

"Just, just move!"

Tang Xiaotang didn't listen to him, and writhed even more in his arms.

Xie Jinbai grabbed the young master's hand, and reached for his loose robe.

A blush stained Tang Xiaotang's cheeks, even his neck was flushed, and he sat stiffly in Xie Jinbai's arms.

Xie Jinbai stared at him, "Are you honest?"

Tang Xiaotang is rebellious by nature and cannot be excited.

When Xie Jinbai said this, Tang Xiaotang became dishonest, and his hands moved.

Tang Xiaotang could clearly feel the man's breathing was slightly heavy.

Haha!

You have today too!

Tang Xiaotang raised his face, slid his fingertips over Xie Jinbai's Adam's apple, his black eyes were sly, and he smiled mischievously, "Huh? To be honest, Tang'er no, I can't write. Brother Xiaoyu has to do it for Tang'er, do it for Tanger." a demonstration?"

The implication is that if Xie Huaiyu is dishonest again, he will not be polite.

Xie Jinbai smiled, "That's right. Xiao Guo'er has been promising recently."

"It's easy to say, easy to say. Brother Xiaoyu, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous."

A smile is a pride.

Xie Jinbai clasped Tang Xiaotang's wrist, Tang Xiaotang thought that this man was going to take his hand away, so he didn't resist, and just let it go, but Xie Jinbai held his hand and poked inside.

The smile on Tang Xiaotang's lips froze on his face.

"Thank you, thank you Huaiyu!"

Tang Xiaotang blushed and called Xie Jinbai by his first and last name.

He was wrong!

He shouldn't have tried to challenge this person's bottom line at all.

Because this person has no bottom line at all!

Xie Jinbai lowered his head, resting his head on the young master's neck, his voice was hoarse, "Tang'er, do something, huh?"

Tang Xiaotang blushed with embarrassment.

Get it, get you an ancestor!

In the end, the young master still couldn't resist the "acting like a baby" of a certain old man, so he served him once.

Xie Jinbai went to open the window to let out the smell in the room.

Tang Xiaotang blushed, and sat back to his original seat angrily. From the beginning, she didn't want to listen to this man's nonsense!

What is his exclusive throne, bah, bah!

"Will it be cold?"

Xie Jinbai turned his head, Fufeng County had already entered autumn, and it was still a bit cold indoors with the windows open.

Tang Xiaotang glared at him ferociously.

What's the use even if he feels cold? !

This... The smell in this room is so strong, no, can it be done without opening the window!

Reading the dissatisfaction in his eyes, Xie Jinbai opened his arms towards him, "Come into my brother's arms, can my brother warm you up?"

"Bah! Smelly, stinky rascal!"

Xie Jinbai sighed softly, "Sure enough, all men in the world are like Tang'er? Don't you know how to cherish it when you get it? Earlier, you said "Brother Xiaoyu, but now..."

Tang Xiaotang couldn't bear this man's mouth, his face was flushed with embarrassment, "Thank you, Xie Huaiyu, you, you can shut up!"

"Tang'er thinks, how likely is it that Zhao Xiaorui is no longer alive?"

Xie Jinbai opened the window and returned to her seat.

Tang Xiaotang: "..."

How on earth did this person manage to cover such a wide range of topics?

However, Tang Xiaotang came to this rest room to discuss this case with Xie Jinbai.

Hearing Xie Jinbai's mention, he didn't care whether to be angry or not. He frowned slightly, "Missing, I have been missing for more than a month, and there is no news at all. The result is probably... not very optimistic."

Tang Shimao was also the magistrate of the county, and Tang Xiaotang knew more or less that if the person was not found within twelve hours in such a disappearance case, it would probably be a disaster.

Tang Xiaotang suddenly thought, "That's right. Is that... Could it be that he left on purpose? Didn't Zhao Qingsong admit it in class? He beat and scolded Zhao Xiaorui. Is it possible that Zhao Xiaorui was in a bad situation?" You endured your father's daily beatings and scolding, so you left?"

After all, it is a fresh life.

Although Tang Xiaotang didn't know the missing Zhao Xiaorui, in his heart he still hoped that the boy would be safe and live in this world.

Xie Jinbai shook his head, and tapped his fingertips on the transcript of the court statement submitted by the scribe earlier, "It was not a deliberate escape. It is recorded in the case record that Zhao Xiaorui's room included several taels of silver, clothes, and even books. In. Poor children like Zhao Xiaorui who have the opportunity to study in the academy with the help of their hosts often cherish the opportunity to enter the academy very much.

Even if he ran away from home under unavoidable circumstances, he would not take his clothes or money with him, nor would he not take his books with him.Moreover, it is very unreasonable for people who run away from home to not bring money and clothes.However, even if Zhao Xiaorui is really no longer in this world, it may not necessarily be murder.It could be an accident—"

The biggest problem now is that people are not seen when they are born, and corpses are not seen when they are dead.

Otherwise, even if a dead body is found in the end, at least there will be a breakthrough in the case, and it will not be unknown whether the person is alive or dead.

Xie Jinbai methodically analyzed them one by one.

Tang Xiaotang stared blankly at the person in front of him. How should I put this feeling...

It was obvious that the two of them did something embarrassing just now, but in a blink of an eye, this person was able to analyze the case seriously.

The contrast between before and after is also, uh, strange, strangely charming...

The silly young man didn't even know how to hide his emotions, he just stared at him blankly.

Xie Jin frowned slightly, "What? But being fascinated by my brother?"

Tang Xiaotang: "..."

Give him back his serious brother Xiaoyu quickly!

"Ah, Ah Choo—"

Master Ge finished delivering the message and went back to the rest room in the back hall. As soon as he entered the room, the wind blowing in from the yard flooded his face and sneezed several times.

Master Ge rubbed the tip of his nose, looked blankly at the file that was being rustled by the wind, and then looked at Xie Jinbai and Tang Xiaotang who were sitting opposite each other, still concentrating on discussing the case.

Could it be that he is the only one who feels a little cold?

It wasn't until he stopped sneezing that Master Ge walked up to Xie Jinbai and reported, "My lord, this subordinate has already followed your order."

Xie Jinbai seemed to have noticed Master Ge walking in at this time, nodded and said, "Master Ge has worked hard."

I don't think it's hard to spread the word, but Master Ge sneezed again because of the cold in the rest room with the windows open, "Ah, ah."

"Big, my lord is too serious."

Xie Jinbai got up from his seat, "Let's go."

"Go, where to go."

Tang Xiaotang was at a loss, because he hadn't heard Brother Xiaoyu say that he was going out.

"Take you to the streets. Let's go."

After all, in front of Mr. Ge, he hooked Tang Xiaotang's neck involuntarily, and went out the door as if he were two good brothers.

However, before leaving the government office, Xie Jinbai went back to the private house in the backyard, changed his official uniform and changed into a casual one, and then went to the street with Tang Xiaotang.

Xie Jinbai said that he would take Tang Xiaotang for a walk in the street, and he actually took him for a walk in the street.

Tang Xiaotang sat in a carriage when he entered the city yesterday, and only took a look at Fufeng's market from outside. Today, he went shopping with Xie Jinbai, and the experience was different.

The land in Fufeng County is barren, but it is rich in iron ore, so most of the households make a living by blacksmithing and iron smelting. Even the stalls on the street, there are many selling daggers or swords, which has become a unique scene that is hard to see elsewhere.

Tang Xiaotang also noticed that in Chun'an, there are definitely more men than women walking on the streets, but Fufeng is the complete opposite. Except for the patrolling yamen servants, most of the people coming and going on the streets are women, children and children, or they are elderly some old people.

The whole state and county gave people a dull and dead air.

All of the above were things that Tang Xiaotang didn't notice in the carriage yesterday.

"Brother Xiaoyu, this Fufeng County is really strange..."

Tang Xiaotang leaned close to Xie Jinbai's ear and said in a low voice.

"The land is barren, and most of the people don't have enough to eat. The county government collects money every year, recruits strong men, and some men go to the mountains to become bandits. In this way, Fufeng County is naturally full of yin and yang, and there is a shortage of men."

Xie Jinbai explained calmly.

"This status quo will change."

Xie Jinbai turned to look at him.

Tang Xiaotang raised his face and smiled brightly, "Because it's different now! Brother Xiaoyu is here, and the current situation in Fufeng County will definitely be changed, changed, right?"

Xie Jinbai was taken aback.

The reason why he voluntarily asked the court to come to Fufeng County to take up his post this time was to get rid of Yan Hu, the person who would kill his brother in the future.

In the previous life, the reason why Ji Yunqing attacked him and the Fu family later was because after his elder brother died, Ji Yunqing took back the military power in his hands.

With no military power in the hands of the Fu family, Ji Yunqing naturally has no worries.

After being reborn, he had to plan ahead. The most important thing was not to let his brother get into trouble, so Yan Hu had to get rid of it.

In the final analysis, whether he took the initiative to take up the post or tried his best to suppress the bandits, it was out of selfishness.

As for how the people here will live, he has never thought about it.

After a while, Xie Jinbai smiled slightly, "Well, Tang'er is right, everything will change."

There were not many young men on the streets of Fufeng County, and Xie Jinbai and Tang Xiaotang's looks were too eye-catching, and they were still familiar faces. They just went shopping like this, and I don't know how many people turned their heads to look at them frequently along the way.

Xie Jinbai has long been accustomed to the betting gazes of his surroundings.

Tang Xiaotang is not as calm as him, he is always uncomfortable, but he thought again, unless he stays in the yamen in Fufeng County every day and does not leave the gate, and the second door does not go out, otherwise he will come to the street sooner or later .

Thinking about it this way, I felt more or less relieved, so I had to divert my attention by looking at the shops and stalls on both sides.

He really fell in love with something!

What Tang Xiaotang fell in love with was a dagger!

This dagger is not eye-catching at first glance, and it is a bit old, but the pattern on the handle is very special. It looks like a lotus leaf, but it is not a lotus leaf. It looks like a lotus flower, but the petals are more glamorous than the lotus flower. It was a pattern that Tang Xiaotang had never seen before.

Tang Xiaotang liked this dagger almost immediately.

He squatted down in front of the stall, grabbed the handle of the knife, and drew out the dagger. In an instant, the cold light of the black iron was compelling and soul-stirring.

It is a good knife!

The stall owner smiled and leaned over his face, "This young master has good eyesight. This dagger is called 'Wu Ti', and it is a thing from Nansang in the old days. By chance, it flowed into my Dongqi. Please look, sir. The handle of the dagger is engraved with the legendary national flower "Bingpo" of the old country Nansang, and the scabbard is also engraved with complicated Nansang mantras. The blade is forged from Nansang black iron. It is a rare superior dagger!

And, aside from that.We are in a place like Fufeng, and the young master is so handsome, so you have to buy a dagger for self-defense.Son, you said, didn't you? "

Tang Xiaotang: "..."

How unsafe is Fufeng County?

Xie Jin asked in a timely manner, "My younger brother is planning to go to Muzhou to visit relatives, passing through your place. I heard that a beautiful young man disappeared from here, is it true?"

The smile on the stall owner's face suddenly faded, and he said in a low voice, "It is true that some men disappear every now and then. Not all the missing are young and beautiful, but it is true that most of them are young. Sigh. In recent years, the cost of land harvests has been pitiful, and bandits are rampant. Unless necessary, merchants in the past would rather take a detour than pass through Fufeng. Now that this kind of thing is happening in the city again, these days are really..."

At the end of the stall owner's speech, even his eyes were red.

It can be seen that the life of the people in Fufeng is difficult.

"This dagger, do the two young masters want it?"

After all, the stall owner was just a businessman, and after a few words of exclamation, the topic returned to the "Wu Ti" in Tang Xiaotang's hands.

In the final analysis, whether you sigh or feel sad, life will not go on as usual, will it?

Tang Xiaotang really liked this dagger very much at first, of course, he also likes it now, but because of what the stall owner said, he was inevitably a little depressed.

Xing people suffer.

The dead people suffer.

In the end, Xie Jinbai still paid for this "Wu Ti".

He couldn't tell whether it was a thing from Nansang in the old country, and the mantra on it was indeed not written in Dongqi, but Nansang had long been destroyed by the Ruan Ling Kingdom, and he had never dealt with people from Nansang. Whether the mantra engraved on the dagger was He didn't recognize Sang's writing, but the blade was sharp, but it looked good.

The shopkeeper was right, in a place like Fufeng County, it is indeed necessary to buy a dagger for self-defense.

"Why, why did you really buy it, did you buy it? Ten taels of silver is too, too expensive!"

After some distance from the booth, Tang Xiaotang frowned and said.

How much is brother Xiaoyu's monthly salary?

What's more, he had never heard of "crow's cry" or "bird's cry".

The two came to an alley at this time, there was no one there, Xie Jinbai raised his hand, pinched his cheek, and smiled dotingly, "It's only ten taels of silver, it's worth it to buy Tang'er's love."

Tang Xiaotang was still feeling sorry for Xie Jinbai for the ten taels of silver spent, but when he heard this, the corners of his lips raised uncontrollably.

Tang Xiaotang's raised lips disappeared without a trace when Xie Jinbai took him to the book studio.

No, won't it?

It wouldn't be what he thought, would it?

Xie Jinbai patted him on the shoulder, with a warm smile on his lips, "Tang'er, go and choose, and choose a pair of pens, inks, papers and inkstones that you like."

Tang Xiaotang: "I don't..."

He doesn't want any pen, ink, paper and inkstone!

He doesn't want to practice calligraphy!

"Writing calligraphy with a strong character will also make the examiners give extra points to the candidates. On the contrary, no matter how exquisite your writing is, I dare to assert that with your current calligraphy, even if you get gray hair in the test, it will not help you. "

Tang Xiaotang: "..."

Heartbroken.

Xie Jinbai also learned from the correspondence with Xiao Yin that Xiao Guo'er worked hard and wanted to get fame.

Officialdom is filthy.

In his heart, Xie Jinbai wanted Xiao Guo'er to be a young master with no worries about food and clothing.

But he also clearly understood that Tang'er, like him, was a man.

He has no right to feed him like a canary.

If Tang'er is willing to be an idler, he will do as he wishes and let him be an idler.

Now that Tang'er is interested in an official career, he will clear the obstacles in the way for him, and help him to rise to the top and skyrocket.

Tang Xiaotang drooped his shoulders and muttered, "I know..."

Tang Xiaotang wanted to obtain fame at the beginning, so that he could be admitted to Yingyang Guozijian as soon as possible, so that he could become a person who stood shoulder to shoulder with Xie Huaiyu.

Now that the two have come together ahead of schedule, Tang Xiaotang's original intention to obtain fame has not changed.

He can't be a bird raised by Brother Xiaoyu.

Two people always have to be evenly matched in order to go to the end.

In the end, Tang Xiaotang came out of Shumozhai with a pile of pens, ink, papers and inkstones.

Tang Xiaotang sighed inwardly.

Why is it that when someone is newly married, he sympathizes with his wife.

When he came to him, not only would he and his wife come to this poor place of Fufeng County to take up posts, but they might also suppress bandits in the future, and now it's even more the same, learning calligraphy hard!

This day is really, can't live!

Since Fufeng County was colder than Chun'an, and both of them were wearing thinner shirts, Xie Jinbai took Tang Xiaotang to the tailor's shop and ordered some clothes for the two of them, including Xiao Zishu.

In such a small place as Fufeng County, before Xie Jinbai and Tang Xiaotang returned to the yamen, everyone in the yamen knew that after the newly appointed county magistrate left the court, he did not see him handling any official business, so he took the young son of the family to the yamen. I went shopping on the street.

"Looking at the earnest appearance of the county magistrate when he was promoted to the hall in the morning, I thought that this adult from Yingyang was really different from the previous county magistrates! I went shopping in the street! How dare he pretend to show the common people to see his solemn and serious appearance in the hall?"

"Who says it's not? Officials are like this. They have a face in front of them, and another face in the back. Anyway, most of them have a term of three years. Once the three-year term is over, they, the county magistrates, will be transferred away. , who really cares about the life and death of our local people?"

"Actually, it's okay if he doesn't care about things like this? Let's just treat him as our free and easy official, and he will be his free and easy county magistrate. Well water doesn't violate river water."

Tang Xiaotang and Xie Jinbai went back to the government office around the path, and saw the servants sitting in twos and threes, chatting chatteringly under the drum.

Tang Xiaotang was naturally angry when he heard this, but the people around him not only did not show any anger, nor did they show surprise.

Holding the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his arms, Tang Xiaotang suddenly felt blessed. He turned his head and looked at the person beside him, "Brother Xiaoyu did it on purpose?"

Deliberately take him to the street after leaving the hall?

What can be drawn?

Seeking a bad name?

Xie Jinbai blinked, "Shh, don't say anything."

But within a day, everyone in the Fufeng County Government Office knew that the new county magistrate was a no-nonsense person.

I went up to the hall early, then went shopping in the street for half a day, and slept all afternoon after lunch. It was getting dark, so I summoned the head catcher who was sent to investigate the matter during the day, and I was so idle.

It seems that he is not here to be the county magistrate, but to be on vacation.

When the master secretary Ge Zhou heard about it, he was naturally worried.

Look at Mr. Xie, he doesn't look like a stupid official.

But the facts were before his eyes, and he couldn't help but believe it.

Xie Jinbai had heard about the gossip and rumors in the yamen, but he didn't care.

In autumn, the sun sets faster.

Soon, it was evening.

The sun was setting, and the sight in the house darkened.

Tang Xiaotang rubbed his sore wrist, and put the pen heavily on the pen stand.

"What's wrong? Who made my little son angry?"

On the reclining chair, Xie Jinbai ate the grapes that Xiao Zishu bought for him, raised his eyes and asked.

"I don't, I won't write anymore, I've been practicing for an hour!"

He has been studying all afternoon, and he has also practiced calligraphy for a long time.

What's more, it's nothing more than he is diligently practicing calligraphy, this person is leisurely lying beside him reading idle books, and he never stops eating.

Furious him too!

"Well, then I won't practice."

Xie Jinbai threw away the book in his hand, sat up from the recliner and stuffed a grape casually, and handed it to Tang Xiaotang's mouth.

Tang Xiaotang puffed up one cheek and stared at this man suspiciously.

So nice, easy to talk to?

Before Tang Xiaotang could swallow the grapes in his mouth, Xie Jinbai pulled his wrist, "Go, Xiao Guoer, I'll take you to a place."

"Go, where are you going? Don't go to any other shops. I can go shopping, I can't do it anymore."

A dark light flashed across his eyes, Xie Jinbai smiled, "Brother will take you to investigate the case."

The author has something to say: Tsk tsk, Mr. Xie is getting more and more immoral.

—

The case is about to be solved.

Everyone can guess, is Zhao Xiaorui still alive?

If still alive, where did the person go?Did he go by himself?

If he died, was he an accidental death, or was he killed?Who is the murderer...

If you guess correctly, you will be rewarded with a small red envelope.
