"Sounding arrow?" Xing Wenxin seemed to understand what Shao Xi meant.
"Yes, ringing arrows! A ringing arrow was fired at the scene of the incident to alert people around that the thief had appeared. Those who heard the ringing arrow continued to fire the ringing arrow and the warning range was expanded again, until the entire city's patrolling police officers knew that the thief had appeared. At this time, a little further away The inspectors should not rush to the scene of the incident, but stay where they are and strengthen inspections. In this way, no matter where the thieves escape, there will be people from the government searching for them."
Xing Wenxin nodded while listening, and agreed: "That's right. Even if we can't catch her, at least we know the general range of her whereabouts. This way, the search will be more effective."
Chen Mohuai stroked his sparse beard and said: "Master Shao is indeed a young hero! I have never thought of such a simple and easy method. I have been running around like headless flies. Today, Master Shao pointed it out. Wake up, I’m really ashamed.”
Shao Xi smiled slightly and said: "This method only targets the thief's escape direction. To really catch her, we still need to strengthen the search. This will require the officials in the county governor's office to catch her quickly."
"Officer Chang has not returned to Qingshan City yet, so it is up to Xing Juncheng to carry out the inspection and defense for the past two days! Everything must be carried out according to Master Shao's arrangements, and do not slack off." Chen Mohuai repeatedly told Xing Wenxin beside him.
"The official accepts the order, and the official will definitely make appropriate arrangements according to Master Shao's advice."
Lao Wu, who had been eating wine and food next to him, lazily interjected: "I don't think we can catch him by relying on the government officials to catch him. The thief's agility is extremely good. With the policeman's I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch up with my two legs.”
When Chen Mohuai heard this, he quickly asked: "I wonder what Mr. Wu has to say about this matter?"
Old Wu clenched his teeth and said: "I don't have much idea, but if you want to capture this thief, you have to rely on the physical skills of Master Shao and I. In the past few days, why don't we just participate in patrols, and if the thief is found, we will Come chase and capture.”
Shao Xi tilted his head and glanced at Lao Wu, which meant, "Why did you change your gender? Aren't you usually most afraid of meddling in other people's business?"
Lao Wu gave Shao Xi a look that said, "I'm willing to take care of you."
Shao Xi glanced at Lao Wu fiercely from the corner of his eye and said in his heart: "You old pervert, don't think that I don't know because the thief is a woman so you can take advantage of him when he is arrested."
Old Wu shook his head and rolled his eyelids, as if to say: "The dog bit Lu Dongbin!"
The eye contact between the two did not attract the attention of the people around them.
Chen Mohuai seemed very happy when he heard that the two of them would also participate in the patrol and arrest. He said to the two of them with a smile on his face: "If two adults can personally participate, this thief will be captured. It just requires the two adults to work hard. I am really uneasy."
Shao Xi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we two are working hard, but when we are idle, we feel uncomfortable."
After saying that, he glared at Old Wu with a bad look. It seemed that he would not have a good night's sleep in the next few days. This old guy was really a scammer.
Xing Wenxin bowed his hands to Shao Xi and said sincerely: "The two adults are worthy of being the pillars of the imperial court. Your Majesty is indeed very discerning. If all the officials in the world can be as hands-on as these two adults, why worry about the peace of the world and the common people?" Peace?"
All the officials present looked embarrassed when they heard this. How could these officials who deceive others, hide their superiors, flatter others, and ride on the heads of the people every day, do their best and do everything themselves?
After drinking and talking about things, Shao Xi and Lao Wu stood up to say goodbye and planned to go back to the post house. Although Chen Mohuai and other officials still wanted to stay, Shao Xi really couldn't stand the atmosphere in this officialdom, so it was best to leave as soon as possible without speculation.
Just as everyone was walking out of the back hall and preparing to send Shao Xi and the two out of the county magistrate's mansion, they heard the sound of chasing and laughing coming from the backyard garden.
"Master! Master, don't be like this. I have some unfinished business, please let me go! If Master sees me, I will punish you."
"Little baby, what are you afraid of? Don't avoid me every day! Come on, let me kiss you. Master, I have something good for you."
"Please, Master, please let me go! I am just a despicable maid, not worthy of the Master. Please stop pestering me."
"As long as you take good care of the young master, I may take you as a concubine as soon as I am happy. From now on, I will have no worries about food and clothing. What's wrong with that?"
"No! Master, don't do this..."
Accompanied by the sound of talking, a beautiful maidservant was seen escaping from the moon gate of the back garden into the back hall, followed by another person chasing in.
This man, with a head as big as a pig's head, staggered after the maid, pulled her into his arms, and touched the maid's body dishonestly with his hands.
Seeing this extremely ugly face, several officials present could not help but raise their hands to cover their mouths and noses, fearing that the food and wine they had just eaten at the banquet would be choked out, and the rest of the people who had stronger self-control would also have their faces exposed. Embarrassed, forced to remain calm.
The person who came was none other than Chen Hanbin, the "good eldest son" of the county governor Chen Mohuai. At this time, he did not notice that there were many officials standing behind him, and they were concentrating on untying the maid's skirt.
At this time, Chen Mohuai was angry and ashamed, with a face like pig liver. He shouted loudly at Chen Hanbin: "How presumptuous! You rebellious son, let you think about your mistakes behind closed doors in the house. You are so unrestrained in front of all the adults. What a shame." How decent?"
Except for Shao Xi and Lao Wu, everyone present was frightened by the loud shout, especially the officials present. They had never seen the county governor lose such a temper before.
Chen Hanbin was so frightened by this sound that his legs trembled, and he turned his head and looked at everyone present with a dazed expression. When the maid saw this, she quickly knelt on the ground, lowering her head and not daring to speak.
After baring his buck teeth and scanning the people present with the two slits on his face, his eyes locked on Shao Xi in an instant.
"You meddlesome thing, how dare you come to my house? Damn it, let me see if I don't kill you today."
After saying that, Chen Hanbin faced that pig face and rushed towards Shao Xi, as if he wanted to gnaw all of Shao Xi's bones with his buck teeth.
Before Chen Mohuai could step forward to stop him, Shao Xi kicked Chen Hanbin in the chest. This kick sent Chen Hanbin flying out and hit the tree in the courtyard.
Chen Hanbin slid along the trunk and sat under the tree. He raised his finger and pointed at Shao Xi. He opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time. He probably hadn't gotten out of his voice yet!
Chen Mohuai saw his son being kicked away by Shao Xi. At this moment, he had that uncomfortable expression again. He felt very distressed in his heart, but it was difficult to show it at this time.
So he yelled at Chen Hanbin loudly: "You beast, you behave randomly on weekdays and harass the people without punishing you. Today you dare to take action against the Lord of the 'Jingcheng Division'. You are so bold. As a father, you are doing official business on weekdays." I'm too busy to discipline you, so today I'm going to teach you, this ungrateful beast, a lesson."
After saying that, Chen Mohuai walked quickly towards Chen Hanbin and raised his hand as if he wanted to teach his son a lesson. At this time, all the officials hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, urging the young master to do something outrageous because he was still young. If you have anything to say, please tell me slowly and teach him slowly in the future...
Shao Xi looked at a group of people of several decades in official uniforms acting pretentiously, and secretly felt funny in his heart, so he added fuel to the fire by saying, "Master Chen, do you think your young master is just ignorant of etiquette?"
After saying that, Shao Xi took a special look at the maid kneeling on the ground.
Everyone present, including Chen Mohuai, felt extremely embarrassed when they thought of the scene that had just happened in front of them. Chen Mohuai even wanted to dig a hole and bury himself on the spot.
Due to the presence of Shao Xi and Shao Xi, Chen Mohuai was also afraid that he would behave too rudely, so he pretended to be calm and said to the maid who was kneeling on the ground: "Today's matter is in my eyes. You are not at fault. In the future, If the young master dares to harass you again, please inform me and I will definitely make the decision for you. Go to the housekeeper and get a hundred silver coins as my compensation for what happened today. Come on down!"
The maid replied, "Yes, thank you sir." Then she retreated in a panic.
Chen Mohuai tremblingly came to Shao Xi and bowed down, and apologized in a low voice: "I am really ashamed to have raised such a rebellious son. Not only did he behave shamelessly, but he also violated the two adults again. The official knows that no matter how much he apologizes, he cannot make up for the fault of the official, but he still asks the two adults to give this beast a chance no matter what, and never take it to heart. The official is here to kowtow to the two adults to apologize. .”
Saying that, Chen Mohuai knelt down and kowtowed.
Shao Xi stretched out a hand to support Chen Mohuai and said with a smile: "Sir Chen, you are serious. It is a small matter for the young master of your mansion to rush into us, but it is not a small matter to rely on his status as the young master of the governor's mansion to harass and bully the common people. Mr. Chen, as a parent official of Qingshan County, you should discipline your son well first, then you can benefit the whole country. Only by cultivating your moral character and harmonizing your family can you govern the country and bring peace to the world. I don’t need to elaborate on this ideal, right?"
Chen Mohuai quickly bowed and said: "Master Shao has taught you a lesson. From today on, Xianguan will definitely discipline this unfilial son and forbid him from going out again. If Xianguan cannot teach this son well in his lifetime, he would rather let him die of old age." Thank you to Master Shao for the large number of people in this mansion."
Shao Xi curled his lips and said, "Okay, let's stop here today! The two of us will go back first. As for catching the thief, you can make your own arrangements. Old Wu and I will come over at night."
"Yes! I'll wait for everyone to send you two adults off." After saying that, Chen Mohuai hurriedly ordered Cai Cheng to arrange a sedan to take Shao Xi and the two back to the post house.
When the two were leaving, a conversation between Chen Mohuai and Chen Hanbin and his son came from behind:
"Dad, he was the one who beat me yesterday, you have to take it out on me!"
"Shut up, you blind beast, let's see how I teach you today."
Snapped……
"ah……"
Shao Xi and Old Wu looked at each other, shook their heads with a wry smile, and walked out of the Sheriff's Mansion.
Officer!
