My attribute of fast time travel is upside down

Chapter 538 Farming Shanlihan (103)

"Really?" Qi Xue still had a worried face, as if she was still worried, "I heard from people in the village that there have been many murders these days, and I'm worried about Uncle Zhang."

Looking at her like that, the yamen servant knew that the little girl was frightened by the villagers' gossip.

He moved his lips, intending to comfort her, but remembering the news that had just come, he didn't know how to speak.

He was silent, as if trying to organize his words, before he spoke after a while: "It's true that the county is not very peaceful recently, but it's just that bandits and bandits have become more rampant. It's harder to catch."

"Don't look at the rumors outside, it's actually the result of false rumors that three people became tigers, and it's not that serious."

"The county magistrate's transfer of manpower is just to resolve this matter as soon as possible, so as to avoid panic."

"But these people are really good at hiding. We haven't received any specific news yet. I guess it may take some time."

"But, after all, it's just a matter of time, and there will be no danger."

This was a mixed bag of truth and falsehood, but it was just meant to comfort the little girl.The yamen has regulations that this official matter cannot be disclosed at will, even to people close to the family.

He didn't dare to speak in too much detail, that is, to speak in a better direction than the rumors outside, in order to achieve the purpose of reassuring her.

In fact, the real situation is much more serious than what he said.Although they claimed that it was done by nearby bandits and robbers for money, Brother Peng saw it and said it was not the case.

Brother Peng has been in the yamen for many years, and has seen many cases of thieves robbing property, some of which injured or killed people, but the wounds on the victims were different from this time.

He had been in the yamen for a short time, so he didn't know much about the difference, and it was only after Brother Peng explained it to him that he understood the doubts.

Ordinary bandits are stronger than ordinary people, have brute force, maybe some have a little bit of kung fu, most of them are three-legged cats, and they are not good.

When these people hurt people, the wounds of the victims will be relatively rough and not organized.

But the victims these times were obviously different. The wounds on their bodies were very crisp and sharp, and they were almost all killed by one blow.

Brother Peng said that this can only be done by trained people.

In other words, the bandits who committed the crime this time are likely to be organized, there may be military advisers who make suggestions, and even everyone in them has received relatively professional training.

It will be very difficult to arrest such a group, and the safety of the government officials will also be greatly threatened.

Two days ago, a brother was seriously injured and sent back secretly.

He looked at the wound, it was very deep, and the location of the eccentricity was not too bad, it can be described as dangerous, and even the doctor said it was lucky to survive.

According to that brother, he encountered a strange man during the investigation process. He wanted to conduct a routine interrogation, but he never thought that when the man saw the official uniform on his body, his expression became sharp, and he turned his sword at him without interrogating him.

That man's martial arts were unfathomable, and his speed was extremely fast. Without giving him a chance to react, the sword had already stabbed towards his heart.

According to the brother, the sword was pointed directly at the heart. If the sword fell down, there would be no way to survive.He was so shocked by this incident that he stood on the spot, not to mention that the man was so close to him that he had no time to react. It was thanks to Brother Peng that he and he were on a patrol together and happened to bump into him. He came to help and a stone knocked the man to the ground. The sword in his hand missed the target, and he was immediately sent to the medical center for treatment. Only then was he lucky enough to save his life.

The injured brother recalled the scene at that time, and he could only describe it with the words "thrilling and close at hand". Even if he escaped from death now, every time he thinks about it, he still has lingering fears and can't help but tremble all over.

Because he was seriously injured, he naturally couldn't stay in that dangerous place, so brother Peng sent two brothers to send him back to the Yamen overnight.

It was a big deal for a government officer to be injured. If word got out, the people would inevitably be worried and frightened. Therefore, this matter was suppressed. Anyone who knew about it was ordered to keep silent by the county magistrate. If any rumors were spread, they would be severely punished. No loan.

In this troubled time, no one dared to touch bad things lightly, so everyone gritted their teeth and said that the investigation was still going on, it was nothing serious, and the suspect would be arrested soon.

Although the common people spread the word very well and said it vividly and mysteriously, everyone didn't take it seriously. After all, those who were familiar with the truth and falsehood of the words in the mouth of those who spread the word knew it well, and there was no big movement in the yamen area. If it didn't happen to you, everyone just listened to it and enjoyed it.

There must be a little nervousness and worry, but I should live my life as I should, without being overly anxious.

The yamen servant kept in mind the county magistrate's instructions and never mentioned anything to his parents, let alone the little girl he had just met.

Even if she had a close relationship with Brother Peng, he would never knowingly violate the bottom line.He believed that if it were Brother Peng, he would definitely do the same thing.

But he wasn't lying. Others might be a bit dangerous, but with Brother Peng's martial arts skills, he probably would be fine.

The yamen servant thought he kept the secret and didn't say anything he shouldn't have said, but in fact, this didn't mean Qi Xue didn't know.

Xiaoliu once boasted that her ability to 'read people' was first-rate.When the man in front of her was comforting her, although he pretended to be calm and his tone didn't show anything strange, the fear and worry that inadvertently flashed across his eyes betrayed him.

Although he concealed it extremely quickly, he was still caught by Qi Xue who was watching him carefully.

Her eyebrows moved tightly to the middle, and the pretense of worry on her face was replaced by the true worry in her heart.

In the beginning, when she came to the yamen, her real purpose was to inquire about Uncle Zhang's whereabouts and return date under the guise of worry.Because now is an important time for her to develop a relationship with her target in the mountain, and Uncle Zhang has strictly ordered her to go into the mountain. In order to better plan her own strategy, it is necessary to know Uncle Zhang's dynamic return date.

Before this, Qi Xue was really not worried about Uncle Zhang.Although it is true that there have been more murders these days, it was not the case before. She believed in Uncle Zhang's skills and he was a veteran who had been working in the county government for a long time and had rich experience, so she didn't worry too much.

But now, after seeing the reaction of the yamen servant, she realized the seriousness of this matter.Before, she thought too simply. I'm afraid this matter is not like ordinary thieves robbing money as it appears on the surface.

She was really worried this time.The yamen servant obviously didn't say the whole thing, and it looked like he was deliberately hiding something, which is definitely not a good thing.

Her heart fluttered immediately, and she was always worried that something would happen to Uncle Zhang.

But even if she was worried, there was nothing she could do about it. Since the yamen servant chose to hide it, he wouldn't say anything.For the current plan, we can only take one step at a time.

The worry on Qi Xue's face did not dissipate, but she still put on a forced smile, "Thank you for telling me this. I feel much more at ease."

Although he said so on his mouth, there was no reassurance in his tone.
