"This couple are the children of the shopkeeper of Cyclamen. When I passed by Cyclamen two days ago..."
Before Gao Sheng finished speaking, Chu Yan's newly warmed-up thoughts suddenly cooled down, "I'm asking you, have you seen them today?"
"That's not..."
Chu Yan gritted his teeth and suddenly thought of another question, "Have you received the banknote given by Cyclamen tonight?"
"What kind of banknote?" Gao Sheng was confused for a moment.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly remembered something and took out a purse from the bed, "Is this what you're talking about? Someone gave it to me today, but I didn't spend a cent, and I still want to give it back..."
In just a few words, Chu Yan heard the key point again, "You mean, you don't know what this bank note is for?"
"What...do you do?"
Gao Sheng stammered, Chu Yan let out a long breath, reached out and pulled him out of the quilt, "Come with me!"
When passing by the yard, Chu Yan did not forget to choose a fast horse, pulled Gao Sheng and sat on it.
"Which gate do caravans usually take in the city?"
"South Gate, South Gate..."
"Then go to the south gate! Drive!"
Chu Yan pinched the horse's belly, and the horse immediately galloped out.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the two arrived at the south gate.
Seeing the door locked, Chu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that you know how to lock the door, the chances of the two children being sent out are much smaller.
But he wasn't happy for long. The next second, Chu Yan's expression changed again.
Gao Sheng looked outside the city tremblingly.
At this time, the guards guarding the door were all yawning. Although they were still standing here, they were really not energetic.
Just at this moment, a caravan led a carriage and walked over with a smile, "Senior military lords, we are really in a hurry to get this batch of goods. Can you help us? This is We have a little bit of fun, please let the military master accept it..."
While several people were talking, the money in their hands was already handed over. ,
The leading officer and soldier just stretched out his hand and weighed it roughly, "You know the rules here, right?"
The caravan quickly agreed, "I know, you are the leader, and I have prepared extra tea money for you..."
While talking, the caravan handed over two more red envelopes.
"One of these two belongs to you, and the other belongs to our county magistrate. Please tell us something for us. Our caravan cannot be what it is today without all the military masters..."
As soon as these two red envelopes came out, the dark color of the leader obviously softened a bit, and he immediately raised his hand and waved, "The shopkeeper is really knowledgeable. Since this business is urgent, just be careful on the road!"
The moment the words fell, someone behind him immediately ran over and opened the door with a bang.
Seeing this scene, Chu Yan's heart instantly sank, and he grabbed Gao Sheng harder, "According to the law in the city, there is a curfew after dark. Is this your curfew?"
If there is such a strict prohibition, it will be even harder for the two children to get them back!
At this time, Gao Sheng was trembling with anger, "These beasts! I haven't treated them badly before, but they dare to frame me like this!"
As he spoke, Gao Sheng didn't even care about Chu Yan and walked over aggressively.
Chu Yan did not stop him, dismounted and followed him to the city gate guard.
At this time, those people had just collected the money and were still happily counting it.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this caravan is quite generous!"
"It is said that he is from the black market, so he is quite skillful!"
"Hey, if there were such generous people every day, we wouldn't have to dislike such a small salary in the yamen!"
"Who says it's not the case! After all, he is a public official, and he is given so little money every day, and he barely has enough to eat!"
"Come on, come on, brothers, don't waste any time, hurry up and share the money, tonight we won't be in vain!"
Someone suddenly asked in a low voice, "What about the county magistrate's share of money? Don't you always refuse to take our things before being flexible?"
"Hey, what's there to worry about?" The leader looked nonchalant, "Go back and take out more than half of it and find a way to put it in the yamen's warehouse. It's still the same old rule. If he finds out, we'll tell him he's a tough guy. Give it to me! If he can’t find it, come back... let’s study it again!"
While speaking, the leading man did not forget to smile crookedly.
Several other people immediately complimented again, "Brother Dahai, you still have an idea!"
"Don't worry, as long as you follow me, I guarantee that you can enjoy spicy food! As for Gao Sheng, I have plenty of ways to deal with it!"
While bragging about his awesomeness, Xu Hai finished taking his share of the money. He hummed quietly, took out the bags under his eyes, and generously ordered a pot.
Gao Gaosheng looked at this scene, his nose was almost crooked with anger, and he shouted loudly on the spot!
"Xu Hai, you beast!"
Xu Hai trembled all over, and almost lost his grip on the thing he was holding, and dropped it with a shudder. The money he had just received suddenly scattered in a clatter.
Seeing the pieces of silver rolling to his feet, Gao Sheng was even more angry and couldn't express his words clearly, "I have been here in Qingzhou County for two years, and I have tried every means to keep a distance from the people. I don't dare to accept any bribes. You are better! Behind my back. He actually does so many things that are necessary to eat Naka!"
Before Xu Hai could speak, Gao Sheng waved his hand and issued an order on the spot, "You go back and pack your things now. From now on, you are no longer from my Qingzhou County Government!"
Xu Hai's eyelids twitched, and for a moment he didn't care about anyone else around him, and knelt down with a plop.
"My lord! My lord, please listen to my explanation! Things are not what you see, there are all misunderstandings!"
"Misunderstanding?" Gao Gaosheng sneered on the spot, "Then tell me, what is the misunderstanding? Are those people insisting on putting money into your hands, or am I pointing a sword at you and insisting that you take it? Got this money?”
"By the way, looking at how skilled you are, this shouldn't be the first time you've done this, right? Don't tell me that you have been forced to do nothing so many times?"
"This this……"
Xu Hai's head was covered with sweat, but he didn't know what to say.
Chu Yan frowned slightly and stepped forward, "It's getting late. It's best to go back and resolve your county government matters yourself!"
"It's urgent, it's best to interrogate him as soon as possible!"
With that said, Chu Yan took out the portraits of Dabao and Erbao.
"Did you see these two people on the carriage leaving the city this afternoon and tonight?"
Xu Hai raised his head and glanced, but scratched his head and couldn't say anything.
Gao Gaosheng snorted again angrily, and began to sarcastically say, "This group of drunkards don't even check the merchants passing by. What do they know?"
Xu Hai was silent, not knowing what to say.
Chu Yan suddenly felt an unknown fire in his heart.
He had known that the county government in the small county town was ineffective, but he really didn't expect it to be so ineffective!
After gritting his teeth and rubbing his eyebrows, he simply put away the portrait.
Now it seems that we are trying to find two children, and it is obviously impossible to rely on these wastes.
I just don’t know if his two babies were sent out of the city...
After a moment of silence, Chu Yan took a deep look at the people around him, turned around and flew away in the other direction.
Behind him, Xu Hai was still begging for mercy at every opportunity. Gao Gaosheng couldn't bear it anymore and kicked the person out, "How dare you beg for mercy! If it's anything other than a major incident, even your ten heads won't be enough to compensate!"
"Hurry up and pack your things and get out of here. If I see you again tomorrow, I won't be as simple as kicking you!"
"Of the rest, two of them will stand here and everything will be investigated tonight! If I find anyone slacking off, get out of here with Xu Hai tomorrow! The rest of you will follow me and search for clues as much as possible!"
