Wearing a county magistrate to build infrastructure

Two days later.

Tang Zisheng, Zhou Nanchuan, and Shen Yiran have been guarding the back mansion of the county government office for two days. The layout outside the county government office can be said to be perfect, just waiting for people to come.

But for two days, there was no news of any spies from Xin Wangfu, which really made them very anxious.

"If there are no accidents, the people from the caravan should have arrived in the northwest city today, and the military amulets will probably be delivered to the people in the Northwest General's Mansion tomorrow or the day after. If they don't act, our arrangement will be useless."

Zhou Nanchuan waved the fan in his hand, he had been looking forward to it for two days, if he came back in a bad mood, I'm sorry for the dark circles under his eyes in the past two days.

"It's not that fast. Even if the soldier's talisman is delivered to the Northwest General's Mansion tomorrow, it will take a few days to pass the news from the Northwest City back to Nanzhou, and then back to Cang'er County from Nanzhou." Tang Zisheng still thought about it. good luck.

"But it's been two days. Why haven't they made a move? It's just searching every family at night, and there are only so many nearby villages."

Zhou Nanchuan was puzzled, but analyzing the enemy like a headless chicken, there were too many accidents, and it was always uncertain.

"That's right, so if there is no movement in two days, then we should set off firecrackers. Maybe the people who believed in the palace lost their patience and went to the county town near Cang'er County to find someone."

"It's not impossible." Shen Yiran agreed with Tang Zisheng's guess, but the chances were very small.

"Hey, why am I burning the house down in a hurry, and you, the person involved, are so calm. Are you not afraid that something will happen to Brother Xu these two days, Mr. Tang?"

Zhou Nanchuan was angry. He was sleeping soundly at home, but Tang Zisheng came to his door and set off a shocking bomb. Now his mood has not calmed down, but Tang Zisheng was fine. The consciousness that if you make a mistake, you will go to the coffin.

"I have already arranged for people to go back to Baihe Village. If there is any change, they will naturally come to send me news."

"Uh..." Forget it, Zhou Nanchuan sat down again, took a sip of herbal tea, and calmed down.

Tang Zisheng and the others were not the only ones who had the same worry, the Xu family also lived in fear for the past two days.

Xu Yingle originally wanted Qingcheng to leave Baihe Village temporarily and go to other places to avoid it, but the child was determined not to leave and let him go.

In the end, no one convinced anyone, so they sulked in their own room.

"Let's make preparations, that group of people may come to the door today." Xu Yingle was still angry, but he couldn't take his brother's life as a prank.

The work in Xu Qingcheng's hands stopped suddenly, "How does Dad know?"

"Last night, several households in the village with dogs heard dogs barking in the middle of the night, and someone probably came here in the middle of the night."

Xu Yingle was in poor health, and slept lightly at night. Baihe Village was not big, and the dog breeders said they were far or near, so he could have heard how quiet the night was.

If a family of dogs is barking, it can be said that something has run down the mountain.But everyone started to bark, and after barking for a while, they lost their voices, probably because they were knocked out.

Xu Qingcheng understood what his father said. In two days, counting from the place where he rescued Brother Shen, there were only five or six nearby villages.

If they all entered the village in the middle of the night to search for people, they should have finished searching by now.

There's just one thing that Xu Qingcheng can't figure out, "Daddy, it's been a long time since we rescued Brother Shen, why did they start their search from here? I'm not afraid that Brother Shen will get hurt and go away for nothing." ?"

"Xizhou is so big, even if Brother Shen is gone, they can only look for it from here. Otherwise, they have no other way to get clues." Xu Yingle didn't know that spies do things, but thinking in another way, he would do the same .

The immediate boss gave the order, and these subordinates could only do their best to complete it.

Just as he was talking, there were several knocks on the door, but no one asked.

The expressions of Xu Qingcheng and Xu Yingle immediately sank, and then Xu Qingcheng put down and stood up, shouting, "Who is it?"

Bang, bang, bang—it was an outsider who answered Xu Qingcheng's three knocks on the door.

Xu Qingcheng walked slowly to the door, hesitated for a moment with his hand on the door bolt, and then removed the wood bolt. If the people outside really believed in the palace, they could come in even if he didn't open the door.

Opening a small crack in the door, Xu Qingcheng looked at the two tall and burly men standing outside, feeling a little scared in his heart, and his face showed the same, "Who are you?"

One of the men had sharp eyebrows, but when he saw a handsome boy who opened the door, he immediately became frivolous, "We are from Donglin County, come and ask something, little brother"

Unexpectedly, before this man finished speaking, he was interrupted by another man, "I heard from people in your village that you know the people above, and I came to ask you about it."

Xu Qingcheng glanced at the portrait that the man held in his hand, the person on it was undoubtedly Brother Shen, and it really was this group of people.

"What's the relationship between you and the people above?" Xu Qingcheng didn't say clearly that he knew each other, but his expression was hesitant, as if he was frightened.

"This is my fiancé Ying, but he ran away when we were going to have a wedding not long ago. Our two brothers chased along the road to Cang'er County, asked people in several surrounding villages, and only asked here today. If he was in your house , just hand it over quickly, our two parents are still waiting for someone to go back to worship and get married."

The man who started talking seemed to have been reminded by the other man, and when he knew that this was not a matter of lust, his tone became harsh.

Xu Qingcheng listened to the decent lies made up by the other party, and felt in her heart that if Brother Shen knew that the other party said he was his fiancé, he might have to deal with him.

"I don't know each other." Xu Qingcheng didn't say that he knew each other first. He felt that there was something wrong with the two people's questioning just now.

If you know that Brother Shen is working under Mr. Tang, why don't you mention Mr. Tang in a word, but ask him to hand him over.

"I don't know you? It's not a good thing for my brother to lie. I asked people in your village, and they said that you must know this brother. If you don't make friends, don't blame me for dragging you to my church."

The person who spoke showed ferocity on his face, and it seemed that he was used to doing these threatening things on weekdays.

Xu Qingcheng pretended to frown. "I really don't know the people here, I just met, in broad daylight, you come to the door at will without asking indiscriminately, and say you want me to hand over someone, if you mess up, I will sue the government."

The expressions of these two people didn't change when they heard the complaint, they were obviously confident, "You've met him before, where did you meet?"

This question made Xu Qingcheng even more sure that these two people had no idea that Brother Shen was following Mr. Tang. It seemed that the person who leaked the information to these two people was afraid of offending Mr. Tang, so he only said that he knew Brother Shen.

"Home."

"It's fun to play with us. We have met at home and still say we don't know each other." The other party pushed the door, as if planning to break in to find someone.

But Xu Qingcheng's strength is not small, and he didn't let this person succeed, "Who is playing tricks on you? This brother just met someone at my house as a guest. I don't even know his name. If you try again, I will You have to call the villagers to come over."

The two men looked at each other, and the one who just pushed the door released the handle from the door, and asked with a still bad attitude, "Who are you here with?"

Xu Qingcheng hesitated for a moment, and finally muttered, "County magistrate."

"County magistrate? You are not fooled by our brothers, are you, a brother in the mountains, able to meet the county magistrate?" Obviously the other party did not believe it.

"Believe it or not, I have no one here anyway." After Xu Qingcheng finished speaking, he closed the door, but the two people outside the door did not continue to knock on the door. After waiting for a while, there was no movement outside the door, and Xu Qingcheng lay on the door Seam glanced out, there was no one outside, and they left.

Get over it so easily?

"Leaving?" Xu Yingle was also listening in the room earlier, and the behavior of the person who came here seemed to be no different from that of the little ruffians on the street, maybe they were real ruffians.

"Well, but they left too fast, I thought they were going to pester them for a while." Xu Qingcheng couldn't figure it out, "But these two people look fierce, but I don't feel the same as Brother Shen, Daddy , I think they might not be that group."

"The official dialect they speak has a Xizhou accent. Although it's not obvious, anyone who has stayed in Xizhou for a long time can tell that these two are natives of Xizhou, not people from Xinwangfu." Xu Yingle knew who the appointment was. The gang came here at random.

"Daddy, do you mean that they were hired by that group of people to come here for questioning?" No wonder they stopped asking after knowing that Brother Shen was by the magistrate's side, it seemed that they got the news and wanted to report back.

"It should be." But these two people didn't live long, and when they brought the news of Brother Shen back to that group, they might be killed to silence them.

"Then I have to tell Mr. Tang the news quickly, so that he can make preparations early." Xu Qingcheng hurried into the house, took out the wooden hairpin that Tang Zisheng gave him last time, and stuffed it from the hole in the wall of the house to the opposite side Mo family.

He had already agreed with Uncle Mo that if he stuffed the hairpin into the next door, he would ask Uncle Mo to go to the county government office, and Mr. Tang would know what it meant when he received the hairpin.

-

Tang Zisheng stared at the wooden hairpin on the table, after several twists and turns, it was in his hand again, Brother Xu was sending him a message.

"They received news that Shen Yiran was in the county government office. When do you think they will act?" Zhou Nanchuan also looked at the wooden hairpin on the table. After waiting for two days, no one came. His patience was almost worn out.

"No matter when, they always sneak into the city first." Tang Zisheng put away the wooden hairpin and asked Tang Mo to bring news to inspector Miao.

The people who were sent to guard the city gate before should pay close attention to the progress, and pay attention to any abnormalities.

"Guard Shen, don't you want to go and see?"

"You are planning to catch the turtle in the urn. If I reveal my identity in advance, wouldn't it make your plan fall short."

Shen Yiran ignored Zhou Nanchuan's words, he was waiting now, waiting for his colleagues except Prince Xin's Mansion.

According to the efficiency of the general's subordinates, if the people who believe in the palace really come into the city, they will definitely follow in. He has already left a mark in the dark, as long as the general's people see it, they will naturally come looking for him .

"I use this method every time, and there will always be times when it fails. If you ask me, it's better to have people separate these people and break them one by one."

Zhou Nanchuan thought that every time Tang Zisheng arrested someone, he would hide in the county government's mansion.If they don't have enough manpower, the turtle in the urn may have to change people.

"We can see the enemy from the dark. This method is not suitable for you. You can try it next time when the enemy is from the dark." Tang Zisheng ignored Zhou Nanchuan's sudden whim.

"It's better not to have a next time. The old saying is about making a fortune with a silent voice. When we have enough troops in our hands, if someone comes to attack, we will directly send troops to encircle and suppress it. There is no need to take risks like now."

Tang Zisheng nodded. When he was weak in the early stage, he was stubborn. Only when he developed in the later stage and killed the Quartet can he become the final winner.

Now that the county government has all the people and horses, it's just waiting for the fish to throw itself into the trap.
