In the early morning, birds flew onto the branches and chirped joyfully. A new day began again, and today was destined to be a busy day.
In the backyard of the county government office, Magistrate Lou was having breakfast with his family when he heard a servant coming to report.
"Sir, Mr. Xing and Mr. Yan have asked for a meeting. They said they have something important to report to you." The butler bowed his head and reported for the first time.
"Oh, Yusen and Xiaoliu are here together?"
Lou Zhixian was surprised when he heard this. He was not a person who liked to please, and Lao Xing and Xiao Liu were not flatterers. In the past, everyone always performed their duties, and Lao Xing and Xiao Liu would not come to him early in the morning. Say hello, and he didn't like that either.
At this time in the past, Lao Xing and Xiao Liu had already gone out to patrol the streets early, but this time they came to see him together, thinking it must be something important.
"Let them wait for me in the front hall first." Lou Zhixian quickly ordered the housekeeper.
"It's the master!" the housekeeper said and retreated.
After the housekeeper left, Lou Zhixian also put down the chopsticks in his hands and stood up. The maid beside him quickly handed over the tea for mouthwash and the towel for wiping.
Then after some simple sorting, Lou Zhixian also quickly came to the front hall.
. . . . . .
In the front hall, Lao Xing and Xiao Liu, who were waiting on the guest chairs, heard Lou Zhixian's footsteps and quickly stood up to pay their respects.
"See my lord!"
"Yes." Lou Zhixian nodded to the two of them, then he sat directly on the main seat, and then waved for the two of them to sit down too.
"Okay, let's dispense with this false courtesy. Yusen, Xiaoliu, do you have any important business coming to this county so early in the morning?" Lou Zhixian looked at Xiaoliu and the two and asked. The two of them can now be said to be His right-hand man.
However, although Lou Zhixian was polite, Xiao Liu and Lao Xing would not sit down rashly, especially when they thought about what they would report later. What if Lou Zhixian jumped up after listening to it? Then the two of them would sit down, Wouldn't that be embarrassing.
Lao Xing and Xiao Liu quickly told everything about the assassination of Xiao Liu yesterday.
After hearing the reports of the two people, Lou Zhixian was also surprised.
"Huh? Are there any fish that slipped through the net among those bandits?"
"Yes, sir, they should be the bandits who escaped to pay for the murder." Xiao Liu answered with cupped fists.
"These gangsters are really evil-minded. They were lucky enough to save a life. Not only did they not want to thank God for their kindness, change their past, and start a new life, they even dared to pay the murderer. It is simply an unpardonable crime!" Lou Zhixian clapped his hands angrily! said the table.
However, after the anger, Lou Zhixian was also a little scared. He looked at the two people and asked worriedly:
"According to what you just said, the killer who came yesterday has been eliminated by you. But I wonder if there will be more killers coming in the future?"
Lou Zhixian was a little worried. After all, it was easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. Who knew how ruthless those killers were. If they found him, he would be powerless.
Seeing Lou Zhixian looking a little scared, Lao Xing was also a little worried, while Xiao Liu quickly comforted him:
"Sir, please rest assured. The killers who came yesterday are already among the best in the world. Now that they are all dead, I think a short period of time should be enough to scare Xiao Xiao and make the other killers dare not act rashly for the time being."
Lou Zhixian looked at Lao Xing. He didn't know much about Jianghu affairs and didn't know how powerful Shangguan Yundun and the others were, so he didn't know whether what Xiaoliu said was true or false.
Lao Xing nodded quickly.
Seeing Lao Xing, an old subordinate who had been with him for many years, nodding, Magistrate Lou was relieved.
But at this moment, Xiao Liu spoke again:
"But sir, although those killers dare not act rashly for the time being, the roots must be eradicated. I humbly ask Sir Xiang for half a month's leave to completely solve this matter."
As soon as Xiao Liu said this, not only Lou Zhixian, but also Lao Xing looked at Xiao Liu in disbelief.
"How do Deputy Yan plan to deal with the arrest?" Lou Zhixian Fu Xu looked at Xiao Liu and his attitude became more formal.
"It's all about the Jianghu, it's just about killing." Xiao Liu responded.
"Deputy Chief Yan knows where the remaining bandits are hiding?" Magistrate Lou asked curiously.
"I don't know, but I have a solution for my humble position." Xiao Liu responded confidently, but he did not answer what the solution was.
Seeing Xiao Liu's confident look, Lou Zhixian looked closely at Xiao Liu, and Xiao Liu's expression remained unchanged. After a long time, Lou Zhixian nodded.
"Well, since Deputy Chief Yan is so confident, this county will grant you half a month's leave. I hope you can come back safely as soon as possible."
Lou Zhixian didn't really want to get involved in Jianghu affairs, so he didn't continue to ask Xiao Liu what his solution was. He just hoped that Xiao Liu could really handle this matter.
Nowadays, Lao Xing and Xiao Liu are both Lou Zhixian's right-hand men. Although Xiao Liu's arm will go to Shibalipu as a head catcher in three months, Lou Zhixian still doesn't want anything to happen to Xiao Liu, whom he has been cultivating.
"Thank you, sir!" Xiao Liu also held his fists in thanks.
"Well, both of your knives are broken. You can go to the master later to apply for a new one. Remember, as a patrol officer, you must not forget your duties even during your vacation, and this knife is also Remember to keep them with you in case of emergencies." Lou Zhixian said to the two men.
However, Lou Zhixian's lecture made the two of them feel happy. Neither of them were stupid, so they understood what Lou Zhixian meant instantly. They quickly clasped their fists and thanked them again:
"Thank you, sir!" "Thank you, sir!"
"Okay, no need for these unnecessary politeness." Lou Zhixian smiled and waved his hands, which was the only thing he could do.
"By the way, there are still two killers in the prison. What suggestions do you have on how to deal with them?" After chuckling, Lou Zhixian remembered something again, and he quickly asked with a serious face.
It's no wonder that all those Jianghu people live a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife and don't pay attention to Wang Fa at all. Prison robbery is not impossible for them.
In the next half month, Xiaoliu had to take leave because of something else, and Lao Xing's fighting ability was very limited. What if they really came? .
Lou Zhixian's face was full of worry.
Seeing the worried look on Lou Zhixian's face, Xiao Liu quickly cupped his fists and comforted him:
"Sir, don't worry. In Xiao Liu's opinion, someone should handle this matter soon."
"Huh?" Lou Zhixian looked at Xiao Liu curiously after hearing this.
Xiao Liu smiled softly. Just as he was about to explain, he saw the butler outside the door suddenly walking in quickly.
"Sir, the officials from the Yamen came to report that someone from above is here."
"Huh? The people above?" Upon hearing this, Lou Zhixian stood up in surprise.
But Xiao Liu's eyes showed a hint of smile, and at the same time, Xiao Liu's eyes slightly glanced at his master.
And Lao Xing seemed to have thought of something.
