The county town was brightly lit at this time, and the sound of guessing and drinking could be heard from some houses, and the delicate voices of women could be heard from some houses. What's more, some people were complaining about the influence of the refugees outside the city.

them.

I think they polluted the air.

Murong Li and Su Yue looked at each other, it was true that the wealthy family was so drunk and meaty that they were frozen to death.

"Let's go to the county government office and have a look." Murong Li couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, so he pulled Su Yue and ran away.

Su Yue's mood is not much better than him. This Xichuan County Magistrate is not a good person at first glance. If I don't give him some color tonight, will she still be called Su Yue?

The county government office was easy to find, and there happened to be a patrol team patrolling when they arrived.

The two of them were hiding in the dark, waiting for them to pass by. One of the government officials happened to be complaining: "It's true, sir. The city gates are closed and no one can come in. Sir, you are still so nervous. Let us be vigilant all night."

Patrolling, they don’t give us any time to rest.”

The yamen servant behind him kicked him: "What do you know? One man in Xichuan City is responsible for blocking ten thousand men. There can be no mistakes. Stop chirping. If the adults find out, they will tell you to get out."

"Oh, what are you kicking? If you use your mouth, you will also move your feet."

"If I don't kick you, who knows what you will say with that bad mouth..."

After the patrol went far away, Murong Li took Su Yue to the backyard of the Yamen, held her and easily crossed the wall, and landed gently in the yard.

"What did the yamen officer mean by what she said just now? I feel like there's something wrong with what she said. Is someone trying to do something?" Su Yue asked Murong Li in a low voice.

Murong Li looked heavy and shook his head, "I'm not sure at the moment. Let's go ask the county magistrate. Maybe we can get something out of him."

Something is wrong, something is very wrong. The Qi family leader and his party have not received any news from them so far. It would make sense for the Qi family leader not to send him a message, but the secret guards he sent have also lost contact.

What I saw and heard today all illustrates a problem. Someone is making trouble, and it is a big deal, not only for those in the palace, but also for him.

Sihai Bank and Wuhu Trading Company exist in Northwest City, and he only received the news of the severe drought in the northwest some time ago, which means that there is also a problem with Sihai Bank and Wuhu Trading Company.

It's probably under control.

It takes a lot of money to do things, and those two are like a cornucopia.

Murong Li thought hard about the royal family members and officials sent to the northwest.

There are quite a lot of people coming here, and everyone has the potential to cause trouble, but the situation is unclear right now, and I don’t know who it is.

Su Yue nodded and used her mental power to quickly search the backyard.

Soon I saw two people drinking tea leisurely and talking in a study room of the back office.

Su Yue touched Murong Li and showed him the direction of the study, and the two of them quietly walked over.

Murong Li had martial arts and Su Yong had mental strength. The two easily avoided the minefield and arrived under a window of the study room. The two squatted there, listening to the conversation between the two in the room.

"Master Gao, what do you plan to do with the Qi family? Should you leave it to the master or not?"

The fatter man in the room, about forty years old, dressed in official uniform, was obviously the magistrate of Xichuan County. He asked the man opposite him flatteringly, and even made a gesture of wiping his neck with his hand.

The man across from him was also in his forties and was wearing Confucian clothes, but his temples were prominent and he clearly had inner strength.

Su Yue looked at Murong Li, but his temples were no different from those of ordinary people.

Master Gao had a majestic look on his face. He was silent for a long time and said: "There is news from the capital that the head of the Qi family sold all the family property overnight and came to the northwest with the Wanguan family property. Such people must either be used by the master or killed. This

It depends on what the head of the family chooses."

The fat county magistrate's eyes widened, and he said flatteringly: "What Mr. Gao said is true, then the official will hand over the person to Mr. Gao. When Mr. Gao comes to the county magistrate, please give me a few kind words."

Master Gao looked at him with contempt: "I will never forget your contribution. This time, you have the greatest contribution. You can easily catch that group of people. You just need to guard Xichuan County well and don't let anyone come in and ruin the master."

The only thing is that the master will remember you a great merit when the time comes."

The fat county magistrate nodded and bowed: "Thank you, Mr. Gao. What about the refugees? Are there any specific instructions?"

I have been working here for three years. I don’t have a lot of money and a lot of responsibilities, so I’d better get rid of him as soon as possible. If one day the refugees riot, it will be a big trouble.

Mr. Gao said disdainfully: "Whatever he does, there is a severe drought this year and the northwest has not received any food at all. It is a waste to use food to save these untouchables."

"Yes, yes, then I will do as my master wishes. Sir Gao, should you take me away now or rest for a night and leave tomorrow morning?"

Mr. Gao showed a tired look and said, "Let's take a rest for the night. We are tired after traveling all day."

"Okay, okay, I'll make arrangements right now."

The fat magistrate just stood up and fell to the ground with a thud.

Mr. Gao looked around, and when he wanted to get up and leave, he fell to the ground.

"Hey, our drug is not just for boasting. No matter how strong your inner strength is, you can't escape from my grasp."

Seeing that they all fainted, Su Yue immediately took out a piece of hooked steel wire from the space and opened the window.

The two people quickly jumped in and closed the doors and windows. Su Yue threw the two people into the space first and interrogated them later.

The most important thing now is to rescue the Qi family leader and his party.

Murong Li did not expect that the head of the Qi family would be arrested by the fat county magistrate.

He should have been kicked hard just now, but he will be kicked the same way later, anyone who dares to touch him.

The two of them rummaged through the study and found some letters. Su Yue put the letters in the space, including some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and some valuable things. Su Yue was very greedy when she looked at them, but she still didn't know what to do with Fat County.

Order, we can only wait until the Qi family leader and his party are rescued.

The two of them only stayed here for a few hundred breaths before leaving the study.

It's important to save people.

Su Yue knew that the head of the Qi family had taken refuge with Murong Li, and Murong Li also told her about it.

The two found the prison. Su Yue only lightly sprinkled a packet of powder on the jailers, and all the jailers fell down. The two quickly entered, searching from cell to cell.

This Xichuan County magistrate is really economical. There is not a single prisoner in the cell, and there is only an unpleasant musty smell.

When they found the innermost place, they heard a noise, and they quickly walked over.

It was dark inside, so Su Yue took a flashlight from the space to illuminate it.

When the head of the Qi family saw a bright light, he quickly got up and ran to the door and saw that it was Murong Li.

"Fourth Master, why are you here?" The head of the Qi family was extremely surprised.
