After Miss Jiu gave a slight salute to Capt. Li, she took the food box from Chen Yun's hand and went to set the dinner table.
Old Man Zuo was setting up the chicken coop and was very busy. He nodded and let it go. He had never thought of bringing the chicken to the county when moving, but at least this chicken had done a lot of good work, so he just brought it with him.
I originally thought of bringing just this one rooster, but this big rooster also has a very strong personality. If he didn't bring his beautiful little hens, he would bump into the cage.
I originally thought about asking Uncle Liu to look after the yard. If he brought these hens to the city, he might not have enough room, so he asked him to keep one and help sell the others.
It's not possible now, so I have to send it together.
Fortunately, although this is a county town, the yard is not too small. Putting a chicken coop next to the wall is not a big deal?
"Is there enough manpower? Can I go to Dian Mao now?"
Chen Yun asked when he heard that there was a big case, especially a case involving missing children.
After all, anytime a child is lost, it is a big deal.
“I’m afraid I have to go.
Originally, although you Minzhuang are serving as government officials, you are actually performing the duties of soldiers. Normally, you are not needed for ordinary things.
Minzhuang is generally responsible for guarding city gates, warehouses, prisons, grain depots and other places. These key places can only be trusted if they are clean.
Therefore, Minzhuang is usually on duty in such places. If we, the agents, cannot solve the problem, you will not be needed.
But now, eight children were lost in two days. The children were not lost in one place, but in many places.
Although the county is not too big and the population is not too small, there are only one or two thousand households. If we just rely on the policemen like me to investigate, we will not have enough manpower, and we will definitely transfer to Minzhuang to help. "
Chen Yun nodded: "Since there is a shortage of manpower, I should naturally arrive on duty as soon as possible. I will go with you to see the county magistrate later."
"good!"
After Li Captou said this, he looked around and said to Chen Yun with a smile: "Brother, are you satisfied with this yard?"
To this question, Chen Yun had only one answer: "I'm so satisfied! The county magistrate treats me so favorably. Isn't this the kind of treatment a deputy leader of the People's Zhuang Group should receive?"
"Hahahaha! This is certainly not the treatment a deputy leader of Minzhuang deserves.
It turns out that what I was looking for for you was Shanjin Courtyard, which is a bit far away from the county government office. There is no well in the courtyard, so you need to go to a big well to fetch water.
The yard is not big either, so for someone like you who likes to dance with guns and sticks, the place you live in will be a little cramped.
But after the county magistrate received the elixir you gave him, he ordered the previous courtyard to be changed into the current two-entry courtyard with a well in the courtyard. "
Speaking of the elixir, Capt. Li pulled Chen Yun aside and whispered: "When I got the elixir, the county magistrate ate it.
But not long after he finished eating, he rushed into the back house and acted wildly for an hour. When he finally came out, he was still in high spirits.
So far, the county's wife has not been seen. It is said that even the meals are brought to the room to eat.
Brother, tell me in a low voice, besides repairing hidden wounds, improving the body, and extending life, does this elixir have other effects?
Brother, I haven’t dared to eat it until now. I feel so tortured! "
Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, but then he realized that maybe the alchemy material used was a snake demon.
Snakes are inherently obscene, let alone a snake demon who has been practicing Taoism for more than 300 years. Over time, the demon meat still has a bit of nature in it. However, since the scroll of the Book of Mountains and Seas does not indicate any harmful effects, Chen Yun is naturally confident that this thing is harmless. Harmful.
I also took the elixir at home, and my qi and blood were full, but it didn't have the kind of effect that makes people think.
"Don't worry, Capt. Li, this elixir will repair the hidden wounds in the body and improve the constitution. The natural Qi and blood will be abundant. The abundant Qi and blood will naturally be helpful for men and women. It is a normal phenomenon.
We ourselves also took this elixir, and the full energy and blood subsided after I practiced my swordsmanship for half an hour. After my wife took it, when she packed up her belongings and prepared to move, her movements became much more agile and her strength became much stronger.
Our old man has a set of marksmanship that makes him perfect and also reduces his energy and blood.
My brother-in-law Dunzi, after taking one pill, ran around the village twice and broke into a hot sweat, but nothing happened.
This elixir is not like boiling water and pouring snow on it, it will not have immediate effects, it is the medicine of tiger and wolf that will have immediate effects.
Normally beneficial elixirs will slowly and effectively regulate and nourish according to the person's own needs and boundaries. The medicinal power will be stored deep in the human body and slowly act out.
After all, repairing hidden injuries and improving physical fitness does not happen overnight.
Of course, it's another matter to clean up the body's serious illness when necessary. "
As Chen Yun explained, he thought that the county magistrate was probably not a very serious person. Otherwise, even if he was a little angry after taking drugs, he would not be able to do such a ridiculous thing in broad daylight.
However, this has nothing to do with him. On the contrary, it is okay for a county magistrate like this, who is not too serious, to give himself such a good yard for a pill.
"Grandpa, Mr. Li, Mr. Li, it's time to eat!"
After Miss Ninth laid out the food, she came out to say hello.
The food at Jufulou is quite delicious, especially the mutton, which is very well cooked.
“The food at Jufulou is delicious, but a bit expensive!
Especially this mutton, it is ridiculously expensive. Even if I am a head catcher, I don’t dare to go to the market to buy mutton on weekdays!
This mutton is too expensive. You can’t exchange 20 kilograms of grain for one kilogram of mutton!
This is something I have to wait until I buy real mutton.
Brother, did you know that if ordinary people go to buy mutton, most of what they buy is not real mutton, but dog meat.
It's just that they will hang a sheep's head on the meat stall, but in fact most of them sell skinned dog meat! "
Li Captou said while eating.
When Chen Yun heard this, he thought, isn't this the legendary trick of selling dog meat with a sheep's head?
Old Man Zuo didn't say anything. He was in the countryside and couldn't eat meat a few times a year. He had never been involved in such trivial matters when he was in the army, so he didn't understand the tricks of these businesses in the market. If he didn't understand, he was not interrupting. This was his standard of conduct. .
So he just kept picking up food for Xiao Dunzi without saying a word.
Xiao Dunzi, on the other hand, said innocently: "Aren't they afraid of being beaten if you lie to people like this?"
Miss Jiu patted him: "Speak as adults, children, don't interrupt, and eat well!"
In other people's homes, when guests come, children are not allowed to eat. The messy appearance of children while eating will make the guests feel uncomfortable while eating.
Chen Yun doesn't talk much about this, as long as he eats politely, Old Man Zuo is a killer who returned to the place where the army retreated, so naturally he doesn't pay attention to this.
Only Ninth Girl, in the past, these rules were taught when her parents were here, so it was already against the rules for Adi to serve at the table when guests came, and now it was even more against the rules for him to interrupt when the adults were talking.
However, what the little guy asked just now clearly had the effect of being praised. Capt. Li was very satisfied that someone asked this question at a critical moment, even if it was a child.
So he smiled and said: "Skin the sheep and dogs, remove the internal organs, limbs and heads, and how many people can tell whether it is dog meat or mutton."
Of course, these people also look at people, and they will sell real mutton to those who cannot be offended. Naturally, they will sell dog meat to those who are insignificant! "
"That's it!" Chen Yun added, expressing his sudden realization.
The time for a meal is very short. After the meal, Chen Yun will go to see the county magistrate with Capt. Li, leaving them to clean up the house!
The county magistrate was not tall, but he looked like a middle-aged scholar. He couldn't tell what Li had just described about Bai Rixuan.
On the other hand, sitting next to the county magistrate was a rough and strong middle-aged man.
The place to receive him is of course not the county government hall. That place is only visited when cases are being heard or when there is something important to announce.
They are now in the side hall of the county government office.
Chen Yun imitated Li Captou and saluted him with his sword: "Caomin Zuo Yun, pay your respects to the county magistrate!"
The county magistrate stood up and looked Chen Yun up and down, and nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that Chen Yun's current appearance was in line with his previous impression of Chen Yun.
"Zhou Yun, the brave man, is young beyond my expectation, but his ambition does not depend on his age, and his ability does not depend on his age.
How is your practice of the Seven Killing Sword Techniques in the Army going? "
Chen Yun didn't brag, he just said what he had to say: "Back to the county magistrate, I'm a beginner in the sword technique, and succeeded in attracting the evil spirit into the body. The evil spirit can also cover the blade, but not much.
It will take time to become powerful! "
The county magistrate patted him on the shoulder and nodded with satisfaction: "It's okay, just learn your skills!
Don't be anxious, take your time, everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that you have successfully made a good start, the next step will not be difficult.
Practice hard, the peace of the county needs your sword.
Let me introduce to you, Luo Gang Luo Dutou, the leader of your National Zhuang Class and your boss.
In the future, the affairs of strengthening the people will require the two of you to work together! "
Since he is his boss, of course he has to ask!
So, when Chen Yungang wanted to salute with his sword, Luo Gang stood up with a smile and patted his shoulder to stop his salute.
"We are all brothers, no need to use these false gifts.
Brother Zuo, I heard that you killed two demons in a row in just a few days. Even I am ashamed of your ability.
You don’t know!
We, the people, are not as strong as the army. The soldiers in the army are full of evil spirits, and it is natural to kill demons and demons.
But we, the people in the county, don’t have that kind of ability. It’s up to you to come!
When encountering some weird things, I won’t be helpless anymore! "
As he spoke, he smiled and patted Chen Yun's shoulder again, then turned back to the county magistrate and said, "Your Majesty, I doubt that the children missing in the past two days were not man-made.
Therefore, Brother Li led the detectives to investigate. They could only check people, but they could not find out some mysterious things.
Originally we were helpless about these strange things, but now that Brother Zuo is here, it will be easier to deal with.
Let Brother Zuo take the people and go out with Brother Li to investigate, which can be regarded as a member of our Minzhuang Team! "
The county magistrate thought for a while and realized that this was indeed the case. He couldn't help but cast his eyes on Chen Yun: "Zuo Yun, what do you think?"
What do you want Chen Yun to say about this kind of thing?
So he could only say: "Okay! Since I am working under the county magistrate, it is natural that the magistrate has given orders, so I will just follow the orders!"
"good!"
The county magistrate echoed and said to Luo Gang: "Luo Dutou, then send a team of capable people to Zuo Yun to cooperate with Capt. Li to thoroughly investigate this case of missing children!"
Just when Chen Yun went to receive his own men, someone knocked on the door of his courtyard.
It was Miss Jiu who opened the door. When she opened the door, she found an old man, so she asked, "What's the matter with the old man?"
The old man smiled and saluted: "Old man, I am from Ye Xiang in the city. When I saw someone visiting your family, I came to collect the travel fee. I wonder who is in charge of your family?"
