"Okay." Tongzhi Wen Yonghe responded.
Thinking about Li Xiang's incident, the prefect Gu Jiantong came and ordered: "Well, regarding Li Xiang's disguise as a man and sneaking in, ask someone to find out where her family is from, and order her family to be brought here tomorrow."
"Okay." Wen Tongzhi responded again.
Seeing that he had nothing to explain, Gu Jiantong said: "You can go down first."
"Okay, I'll take care of it now." After saying that, Wen Tongzhi took a few steps back, turned around and walked out.
After returning home, fellow magistrate Wen Yonghe hurriedly followed the instructions of prefect Gu Jiantong.
Soon, with the efforts of several officials from the government office, they found out where the person named Li Xiang lived. Judging from the records above, it was indeed the same as what she said in the lobby of the government office. She did have parents at home. In addition, There is also a young brother. Counting Li Xiang, there are a total of four people in the family.
Early the next morning, several government servants from the government office hurried to Li Xiang's home.
It was still not too bright on this day, but we could clearly see that all the government officials who were going there had sword sheaths hanging on their waists. They were indeed a bit domineering walking on the streets of Liangcheng Mansion.
Whenever the fearful people in the city see these people with sword scabbards hanging on their waists, they should run away first, regardless of whether there is a knife in the scabbard.
After walking all the way, these government officials soon arrived at the village.
It was already bright at this time.
Before they even walked in, several government officials were a little nervous at the sight in front of them.
You see, there are only a few trees in this village, and there is a river passing by. The sound of the river is not loud. If you don't listen carefully, you won't be able to hear the sound of the water flow.
This water flow is indeed a bit strange.
Both sides of the river are covered with various weeds. These weeds are very lush, and the stems and leaves are long enough. It can be said that they completely cover the river.
Without careful observation, no one would have thought that there would be a small river here.
Also, the road into the village is covered with all kinds of weeds. Obviously, there are not many people living here.
There are only a few footprints and horse hoof prints on the road.
There are all kinds of emerald green bamboos all around. These bamboos grow very luxuriantly, and you can still see that the upper ends of several bamboos are hanging down. Perhaps it is because when the strong wind comes, the fresh and tender poles cannot withstand it. The strong wind caused the waist pole to break and hang down.
Several hanging bamboos are intertwined with each other and seem to form the "village gate" of the village.
"Please be careful." The leading Yamen servant whispered.
Looking at the deserted village, several government officials stepped forward cautiously.
After crossing the weeds growing on the road and stepping through the mud on the road, we walked about a hundred steps before we saw the shadow of the house.
There are also very few houses here, and they are clearly visible.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
There are only four households.
Every one of these houses has been damaged. It can be seen that some of the beams have collapsed and some tiles are scattered on the road.
"Which one is this?" a yamen servant said to himself.
"Would you know if you go in and take a look?" After saying this, a yamen officer walked towards one of the damaged houses.
Seeing the somewhat terrifying surroundings, the other yamen servants followed this yamen servant and walked away together.
This house is a two-story house with walls made of mud. The roof and windows are all made of wood. These wooden things have rotted away from the wind and rain.
Even the door of this house is rotten. A thief would be disgusted by a house like this.
Entering the house, I saw that the house was not too narrow, but there was chaos around here, and sometimes I could see a few mice running away in a hurry.
Seeing the mess and somewhat empty appearance, all the government officials became wary.
There was no one in sight, so a yamen servant said to himself: "Is there anyone in this house? How about we go to the side and take a look."
As soon as the yamen officer finished speaking, he heard an old and feeble voice coming from around him.
"Who~"
Hearing this sound but seeing no one, these government officials were a little frightened.
Fortunately, not all of these government officials are timid, there are also bold ones.
I saw a bold government official walking around the room cautiously. After a moment, he shouted: "Is there anyone there?"
After a while, I heard an echo.
"Yes. Who is it?"
Listening to this sound, the bold government servant walked cautiously in the direction of the sound.
The other government officials looked at his appearance and followed him.
After searching for a while, I found the person who had spoken the words.
This person is an elderly person. She is lying on the bed at this time. Her mind is still awake and her eyes can move, but these two legs cannot move.
Seeing the knife-carrying officer walking in, she felt a little panicked.
"Are you Li Xiang's mother?" asked the leading Yamen servant.
She nodded with difficulty, looked at the government officials with long knives at their waists, and asked nervously: "What's wrong with these officials?"
Looking at her appearance, it seemed that she couldn't walk. The leading government servant said: "Your daughter Li Xiangnan disguised herself as a woman and tried to join the militia. Magistrate Gu found out about it and asked you to come over."
Hearing this, Li Xiang's mother's eyes became wet and she shed a few tears. She said: "Guan Ye, this is not the idea of the civilian woman. It is his father's idea. The civilian woman had no choice but to obey." Him."
"Okay, let's go back to the Yamen with these things.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Tell Magistrate Gu that we are only responsible for bringing people here, and the rest has nothing to do with us. "The leading Yamen servant said ruthlessly.
After a while, several government officials searched the room and found no sign of Li Xiang's father or her young brother. The leading government official walked toward Li Xiang's mother's bedroom.
"Where are your husband and your children?" asked the leading officer.
Knowing that there was no use hiding it, Li Xiang's mother had no choice but to tell the truth: "His father and the child went out early in the morning."
"Where are you going?" asked the leading officer.
Li Xiang's mother shook her head and recounted her suffering: "The peasant woman's legs can no longer walk. She can't do anything. Her father is out for most of the day. The peasant woman doesn't know what to do."
Listening to these words, the leading yamen officer knew that if it was true that her legs could not walk, no matter how much she asked, she would not be able to find out where she was.
Just when several government officials were thinking about going out to look for her, by coincidence, her husband came back.
Really talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
Before anyone could see it, they first heard this series of movements.
After a while, the footsteps got closer and closer.
Listening to this voice, these government officials all knew that it was Li Xiang's father, but they still chose to be wary.
Seeing them, several people pulled out the knives from their waists and held them tightly in their hands.
Seeing this, Li Xiang's mother, who was lying on the bed, didn't dare to breathe, her eyes were closed tightly, and her heart was beating fast.
"Look what I caught today." Li Xiang's father had just finished speaking when he saw that there were more people in the house.
Looking at the few people in front of him who looked like officials with long knives in their hands, Li Xiang's father was immediately stunned. He couldn't say a word and wanted to run but didn't dare to run.
"Mom, look what dad and I caught today!" Li Xiang's brother happily ran over with a pheasant in his hand.
Seeing people with knives in their hands appearing in his home, the child hurriedly ran towards his mother's bed. Looking at the people with knives in their hands, the child asked in confusion: " Mom, who are they? Why are they in our house?"
Facing her child's question, Li Xiang's mother pretended not to know anything and shook her head.
Seeing that the man was speechless, the leading government servant had no choice but to speak first: "Since everyone is here, let's go."
After hearing what the yamen servant said, Li Xiang's father pretended not to understand and asked, "Where are you going?"
"You'll know when you get there, right?" the leading yamen officer said, then looked at the several yamen officers.
After understanding this, the government officials immediately arrested the person. Without much effort, Li Xiang's mother and Li Xiang's brother were under control.
Seeing this, Li Xiang's brother cried: "Dad! Mom!"
Seeing that his family was under control, Li Xiang's father, who was still quite manly, said anxiously: "Don't touch them. If anything happens, come to me!"
