They had planned to leave after just one night's rest. Who would have thought that just as he was about to leave the town the next day, he would be stopped.
What stopped them were two men in long black clothes. The long coat began to break into strands from the halfway point, and the large fluffy hem swayed gently in the wind. Their long black coats had round, loose hoods that were buckled on their heads, making them look strange in broad daylight. Both of them also lowered their heads and couldn't see their faces clearly. From a distance, they looked like some kind of sea creature coming ashore.
They are both not tall, and are a head lower than Han Chang. He looked at them like black mushroom caps.
"You two don't look like locals."
"The magistrate has something to discuss with you two."
The words of the two people went in tandem, and the connection was closer than the two words between each of their sentences.
"..."
Although Xie Zhe stood between Ye Lingyu and Han Zhang, he only stepped back slightly when they blocked him, but he was not completely blocked. There were no passers-by around, and he felt like these two people were deliberately ignoring him.
Ling Huan glanced at Han Shang and then at Xie Zhe who was behind him. Following her line of sight, the two guys in black coats saw Xie Zhe and apologized.
"I'm sorry I didn't notice you."
"Can you three come with us?"
This apology was naturally not sincere, but Xie Zhe didn't bother to care. The three people looked at each other, not knowing what their intentions were. So Ling Huan asked them:
"When you talk about the magistrate, do you mean the magistrate of Fei County?"
The two people with their heads bowed slightly tilted towards each other, as if they were having a brief and silent communication. Soon they said:
"It is this sir."
"It would be nice if you three heard something."
"How much do you know?"
"Why don't you go sit with us at your house first?"
They spoke really fast, and their voices were somewhat similar. If you didn't listen carefully, you would feel like one person was talking in a hurry. The three of them froze on the spot. Han Chang said with a smile that they had to discuss it, and then turned his back to block their sight.
"How can I put it...the landlady really got it right."
"That's true. I'm afraid there are informants in the town who saw us coming from outside and asked us for help."
"Miss Ye is right." Han Chang looked at Xie Zhe hesitantly, "What should we do? Are we going to help or not?"
Xie Zhe didn't speak for a long time. Even if he went to Qinglize to pick up something, he was not in a hurry. The same goes for Ling Huan. No one in his family is chasing him now, so he should be safe for the time being. The two of them seemed to be indifferent, and Han Chang also had an indifferent attitude. Although objectively speaking, it only takes a few words, but...
The three of them turned their heads at the same time and glanced at the two strange people. They still lowered their heads and made no movement. These two people are indeed too—too abnormal. If two ordinary guards came to them, they might actually agree, but what kind of appearance is this? Is it a private team?
"Who are you... uh, what are your backgrounds?" Han Zhang still asked, "This must be explained clearly, right? If it wasn't the order from the magistrate himself, we would have believed it in a daze and followed you in a daze, wouldn't it be inappropriate? ?”
"Don't worry, sir, we are the magistrate's disciples."
"There are many people like us. We only obey the orders of the magistrate."
Private armed forces were beheaded in the previous dynasty. However, now it’s time to turn a blind eye. The rules and regulations have fundamentally changed, and individual teams are still restricted in other ways. I'm afraid this group of people cannot be called an army, but just disciples, as they said.
"It's not that we are not willing to go..." Ye Linghuan has already begun to search for lines for polite refusal, "Look, the three of us are in a hurry. Lanling Town has beautiful scenery, and we hurriedly asked for it before we could see it for a few more days. Let’s go, it shows that we are really in a hurry.”
But the two men in black didn't seem to buy it. They continued singing in unison:
"You can rest assured that our county magistrate will never deliberately create difficulties."
"You must keep the story short. My lord said, you will be rewarded heavily when the deed is accomplished."
Han Chang pricked up his ears.
"Reward? What kind of reward?"
"Gold, silver and jewelry, whatever the price you want."
"Okay, we've taken care of this matter. Okay, lead the way."
"Then it'll be hard work."
As he said that, the two of them stretched out an arm at the same time, gesturing for the road in the gap. Then they walked forward to show them the way. Xie Zhe and Ye Lingquan were stunned. They were stunned for a moment before following him. Ling Huan scolded in a low voice:
"Why did you agree so easily without discussing it with us?"
"Your time is not time, our time is very valuable." Xie Zhe was still cold, "If there is a problem, we will tell the county magistrate that you alone agreed and it has nothing to do with us."
The cunning old fox didn't take it seriously.
"Why are you panicking? It's a small scene. Didn't Miss Ye say that we are short of money? If you can, make a fortune. What's the shame in working to make money? Believe me, I've seen a lot of big winds and waves. Let's see what they are up to first. "
Zhongli Hanzhang was so confident that both of them felt guilty, but they had no choice but to be led by the nose. At first, they thought they had to go to the county government office to meet the rumored magistrate of Fei County in person. Unexpectedly, the two led them to a mansion. Thinking about it carefully, they did not ride horses or carriages, and the county government was still far away in the city center.
"This is the residence of the magistrate."
"He has been waiting in the deep courtyard for a long time."
Xie Zhe felt slightly unhappy. He said this as if the person inside was sure they would come. Although he did come, he was not as happy as if he came to his door voluntarily.
After entering the courtyard, another man in black cotton clothes led them. This friend was not tall either, and as soon as they opened their mouth, they discovered that she was a woman. But their clothes are all the same, and since they can't see their faces, it's very difficult to determine their gender.
"We're here." After walking for a while, the person leading the way said.
This residence is so big, it feels like they have walked the distance from the edge of town to the door here, or even more. Isn't this the row of buildings they saw when passing by? I thought it was a wealthy area, but I didn't expect it to be the territory of the county magistrate. But why didn't he send someone to stop them? Could it be that he had been observing secretly for a while?
The three of them stopped thinking about it. Because they saw a man leaning on a wicker chair in front of the koi pond in the courtyard, drinking tea leisurely. When I have nothing to do, I break off the steamed buns and throw them into the pond, and watch the beautiful big fishes fighting to the death. He seemed to be in a good mood and was humming a little tune.
"Can you sing Fairy Tales?"
They were standing far away when Han Shang, who had sharp ears, suddenly heard something and asked.
The man lying on the wicker chair with his back to them paused, turned his head, and glanced at them. Then he stood up immediately, straightened his back and walked towards them. The previous lazy temperament was gone, and what they saw in front of them was a well-behaved and calm young man. There was a bookish air about him, and the closer you walked, you could still see three tiny moles on his fair face. The two spots are almost completely symmetrical on the cheek, and there is another spot of about the same size under the left eyelid, connected in a straight line with the mole on the left cheek. Why does this person have such regular moles?
Is this Fizhi County? The ends of his short black hair were slightly raised, and he looked disobedient. There are a few strands of hair that are red. I don't know if they were dyed with pigments from the East or for some other reason. Except for the blue and black trimmings on the cuffs, collar and hem of his clothes, the rest of what he was wearing was dark blue, which looked clean and new. The colors are not monotonous, but are well-proportioned and overlap each other, making it look tailor-made at first glance. His shoes were slightly exposed, his steps were steady, and he was the first to salute when he saw them.
The three of them felt that this man was quite polite, so they returned the favor, otherwise they were afraid of breaking the rules. Both sides cupped their hands and bowed so deeply that when Xie Zhe straightened up, he felt his waist bones making a clicking sound.
"I've heard of several famous names for a long time, but I'm disappointed."
His voice was moderately warm. When he straightened up, the three people discovered that he was not very tall. Probably a little over five feet tall, right? However, he looked well-proportioned overall, so he was a little far away and couldn't tell. Even though it's close now, it still feels harmonious and doesn't make people feel too low.
"You are..."
"You can be as casual as everyone else and just call me Magistrate." He said briskly.
Ye Lingquan was a little confused: "I've heard it for a long time? Do you recognize us?"
The magistrate of Feixian chuckled, shook his head, and did not answer. This mysterious aura is there, but I don't know what his intention is. He walked forward, and the three of them followed behind, pacing slowly around the pond full of koi.
"The girl is... from the Ye family," said the county magistrate, without stopping or looking back.
Ye Lingyu was naturally stunned. Her throat tightened and she felt bad. But she suppressed her uneasiness and asked as if nothing happened:
"Where did you start with this?"
"Ah, I received a letter from your Ye family... Of course, it's not for me personally, don't worry." Magistrate Fei waved his hand and still didn't look back, "I got this letter from another official. Is there someone in your Ye family who is an official? They are very anxious. When I saw you, I wanted to help the little girl who ran away from home get back on track. However, seeing that you and your friends are living well, I don’t want to worry about it anymore. Mind your own business. Think about it, parents always think about teaching disobedient children or catching children who run away, but they never think about why they disobey and why they leave home, right? Who? I never did anything stupid when I was young. Since you are safe, I think you can just ignore this letter."
"...Uh, well, thank you very much."
Magistrate Feixian said too much in one breath, and Ye Lingyu couldn't fully digest it. From what I heard, it sounded like I was being helped. The other party continued:
"But... you said you are really brave and can easily believe in a monster. This is because you haven't met a bad guy. If those unreasonable monsters were there, you would have been eaten by them long ago."
This time it was Zhongli Hanzhang's turn to be stunned. He was instinctively alert, which was normal. After all, he thought that his transformation technique was at its peak, and except for being seen by Xie Zhe's yin and yang eyes, it was considered normal.
How is this person...
