The world's first county magistrate

Chapter 65 The Master and the Young Master

This question has been circling in Song Wei's mind for a long time.

When seeing Li Nan for the first time, Song Wei became curious about the brothers.

Li Bei is thin and small, like a bamboo pole.

Li Nan is different from Li Beida. Could it be that Li Bei's parents took good care of Li Nan since he was a child?

Treat Li Bei coldly?

Song Wei thought it was impossible to be a teacher, so his curiosity was even more rampant.

Li Bei and Li Nan looked at each other, and Li Bei smiled awkwardly.

"My lord doesn't know, he is indeed Xiao's younger brother, but he suffered from a strange disease when he was young. After healed, he began to gain weight, and it was out of control. Later, when everyone saw us two brothers It doesn't feel like a real brother."

Li Bei explained to Song Wei carefully.

Song Wei suddenly realized that this was the case.

Looking at Li Nan apologetically, Song Wei said embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, I didn't know this was the case."

Li Nan waved his hand and said, "Your Excellency, don't worry about it, we've already gotten used to it."

Seeing Li Nan's expression of not caring at all, Song Wei felt even more embarrassed.

At this time, Cai Hu walked up to Song Wei's side and whispered, "Master, all the salt has been moved to the warehouse."

Song Wei nodded: "In this case, do you two brothers want to go to the warehouse to have a look?"

Song Wei tilted his head to look at the Li Bei brothers.

Li Bei shook his head quickly: "No, no, we trust adults, so we don't need to investigate."

Song Wei nodded, he will not do anything about this matter.

"In that case, let's go back to Zhen'an County first."

Song Wei stood up, then tilted his head to look at Li Bei, and asked, "Are you going back together, or are you going to stay with your brother for a few more days?"

Li Bei also stood up and shook his head: "My brother and I may not have seen each other for a long time. Although we have exchanged letters, we still haven't drank and talked together. The young ones will not go back to Zhen'an County with adults."

Song Wei nodded silently: "See you in Zhen'an County then."

After speaking, Song Wei walked out without turning his head.

The government servants had already assembled outside. Although it took a lot of energy and energy to come here, Song Wei felt that it was still necessary to go to Zhen'an County.

Therefore, the county government can only work harder.

Stepping into the carriage, Song Wei said, "Let's go."

The yamen servants did not answer, but started to walk out of the city.

On the way back to Zhen'an County, there were no surprises or interesting things.

Everyone was exhausted all day, and they had traveled for nearly a day, so no one could arouse their interest.

Just keep on going.

It wasn't until after dark that the moon climbed slightly over the treetops that Song Wei and the others returned to the salt mine.

Let the servants rest more, Song Wei took Cai Hu and continued to rush into the city.

After more than an hour, Song Wei and Cai Hu arrived at the county government office.

Without Song Wei saying anything, Cai Hu went back to his room to rest.

Song Wei returned to the room, took off his clothes and lay down on the bed.

Everything is safe today, but
Song Wei frowned slightly, then relaxed again.

"I hope I'm thinking too much."

Song Wei said in a low voice.

Then he pulled the quilt, covered his shoulders, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Yet another place, although it was already dark, was still brightly lit.

In a large room, a young man who looked only about 25 was lying on the bed.

Eyes closed tightly, as if asleep.

However, from the bandages all over his body, it can be imagined that things are not that simple.

There were dense crowds of people gathered in the young man's room, and everyone nervously looked at the young man sleeping on the bed.

And on the bedside of the young man, there was a middle-aged man sitting.

The middle-aged man kept frowning and stared at the young man on the bed, and finally sighed.

Turning to look at the group of people, he asked, "How did you get the injury on the young master's body?"

Seeing the middle-aged man turn his head, everyone lowered their heads, lest the middle-aged man see himself the same.

The middle-aged man saw that everyone behaved the same way, and a trace of anger emanated from him.

"Say it or not? If you don't, you all make my bed and get out!"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but said sharply.

Everyone's body trembled, and one of them quickly said: "Master, these injuries were caused by the young master's accidental fall from the horse when he went out today. The young master is afraid that the master will blame him, so let us keep it a secret from the master. Please don't drive us away!"

After speaking, the man was right.

The others also knelt down after seeing it, and said in unison: "Master, don't drive us away!"

Looking at everyone in front of him, the middle-aged man not only lost his anger but became more vigorous.

"Do you think I'm a fool? You can't see how these injuries were caused? I'm giving you a chance. If you don't tell the truth, your head will fall."

The middle-aged man yelled at everyone kneeling on the ground.

Everyone trembled again, and quickly kowtowed several times to the middle-aged man.

And said: "Sir, we say, we say."

"Actually, the young master went out today, and suddenly got playful and wanted to pretend to be a red fox to rob. He happened to meet a group of caravans transporting salt, and the young master wanted to rob the caravan."

"Things were good before, but the people on the other side said that they were from the magistrate of Zhen'an County, and the red fox was also exterminated by the magistrate of Zhen'an County. The leader of the caravan even said that he didn't want the rest of the red fox to disappear. Just leave immediately."

"But the young master not only refused to listen, but also wanted to fight with them. As a result, the young master was beaten violently as soon as they met, until he fell into a coma. We didn't dare to reveal our identities, so we hurried back with the young master."

One person said honestly, looking at his appearance, he could tell that he was lying.

But he did lie, and he even told the middle-aged man embellished.

They didn't dare to cause the young master to be injured because of them.

The middle-aged man stared closely at the speaker, apparently not lying, and then said: "This is simply nonsense! He is immature and you are the same? How can you let him do such a dangerous thing!"

The middle-aged man still said very angrily, but compared to before, he has calmed down more than half of his anger.

"Young master, we dare not disobey."

The man continued.

The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly. He also knew that his own child would be beaten to death if he didn't listen to him.

These servants are also compelled.

Looking at the young man lying unconscious on the bed again, the middle-aged man's eyes are no longer angry, but full of pampering.

"You said you met the caravan of the magistrate of Zhen'an County?"

After a long time, the middle-aged man suddenly turned his head and asked.

Everyone nodded.

On this point they are not lying.

"how could be?"

The middle-aged man supported his chin, his eyes became puzzled.

"Where did you meet?"

The middle-aged man asked again.

"My lord, it's in the woods thirty miles east of the city."

One answered.

After listening to it, the middle-aged man became even more puzzled.

"Although Yongquan County and Zhen'an County are adjacent, but thirty miles to the east of the city is still within the scope of Yongquan County. How could there be a caravan from Zhen'an County? Could it be?"

The middle-aged man seemed to think of something and stood up directly.

"You take good care of the young master, don't say that I have been to his room."
