poor family prodigal

Soon, the man in jade pendant and the man in silk satin arrived directly in front of the government office, covered with dust.

The two of them beat the drums, and under the leadership of the officers and soldiers, they went directly to the yamen and reported to the officials.

"Master County Lord, please make the decision for the common people. The common people were escorting the goods on the official road. They were doing well, but suddenly a group of robbers dressed in black jumped out!"

"After they beat us up, they just stole our goods and left in a big way!"

The man in jade pendant and the man in silk satin knelt on the ground, crying and complaining about the bad behavior of the robbers.

Hearing this, the county magistrate's expression suddenly changed.

Was the goods stolen by robbers?

This is impossible. Those robbers on the official road have stopped doing this kind of thing a long time ago. They have no reason to do this, and it does not do them any good!

After thinking about it, the county magistrate didn't know what was going on.

After being silent for a moment, he slowly asked: "You two, are there any details that you haven't explained to us?"

"Have!"

The man in the jade pendant kowtowed quickly and said eagerly: "After we were robbed, we met Wang Yuan's convoy!"

"The stuff they were transporting was perfume. There's no mistaking it. The robbers not only didn't rob them, they even walked right in front of them!"

The man in the jade pendant looked puzzled and muttered in a low voice: "The common people don't know what this matter is about, so I ask the county magistrate to give us a decision!"

The county magistrate's eyes were full of seriousness, and he asked in a deep and suspicious tone: "Did I only rob you of your things?"

"Yes!"

The two of them fell to their knees and kowtowed violently to the county magistrate.

After thinking for a moment, the county magistrate waved his hands to the two of them: "Okay, I already know the whole story of this matter."

"Don't worry, you two. I will definitely arrest the robbers for you, punish them severely, and give you an explanation!"

When the two heard this, their expressions suddenly lit up and they nodded excitedly.

"Thank you, the county magistrate, for making the decision for us!"

After the man in the jade pendant and the man in silk satin who reported to the official had left, the master next to the county magistrate suddenly came over and whispered: "County magistrate, there is a problem with this matter, a big problem!"

"You see it too?"

The county magistrate looked seriously and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, we must give an explanation to the people first, otherwise it will be difficult to appease the people's hearts!"

"First go and call all the bandit bosses on the official road. I'll ask them what's going on!"

The county magistrate waved his hand and spoke in a very serious tone.

"Yes, the magistrate!"

The master was very fast. As soon as this matter was handed over to him, he quickly gathered all the bandit bosses on the official road and came here in unison.

Soon, a group of people rushed over.

They sat on the chairs and looked at the county magistrate looking at them with a serious face. They couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Master county magistrate, what do you mean by calling us here today?"

The county magistrate waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to pour them tea, and then he said with a serious face: "I just received a report from someone today that they were transporting goods on the official road and were robbed. "

"robbery?"

The leader of the bandits almost choked himself to death without a sip of water.

He waved his hands in a hurry and explained in an urgent tone: "It's impossible, Mr. County Master, we have washed our hands in a golden basin for a long time, and we haven't done any robbery for a long time!"

"Yes, Mr. County Master, there is a misunderstanding. This is all a misunderstanding. Did you make a mistake?"

The county magistrate's eyes were full of solemnity and he said in a deep voice: "Who did it? They weren't lying. They were indeed robbed. They were dirty and looked very embarrassed."

The county magistrate's eyes slowly fell on one of the bosses, and he said solemnly and solemnly: "Could it be that you didn't take care of your subordinates, so they went out on their own to rob a sum of money and make a profit?" Some money?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately shook their heads anxiously.

Their eyes were full of anxiety, and they quickly explained: "Master County Master, we no longer do such immoral things. We are very well-behaved and will never rob others without permission!"

"That's it."

When the county magistrate saw a few of them swearing with their hands raised, he couldn't help but give up his doubts about them.

"But since you didn't do this, who did it?"

The county magistrate looked very hesitant and murmured in a low voice.

Thinking about it, it will definitely not be them. After all, they have been subdued by Hongye and are very well behaved now. If they dare to cause trouble in private, they may have died countless times.

"The county magistrate, since he is not one of our people, maybe he is just some ruffian who ran down from the wild mountain and wants to take this opportunity to make a lot of money."

The bandit leader's face was very serious, and he said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will also ask the brothers to speed up the search during this period, and find these bastards from the wild mountains as soon as possible."

"Then it's hard work, brothers."

The county magistrate waved his hand and watched them leave.

After watching the people leave, the master's eyes were still staring at them suspiciously.

His face was full of suspicion, and he couldn't help but quickly came to the side of the county magistrate, and whispered to him: "Master county magistrate, I think there is something fishy about this matter!"

"Oh? What's weird? Let me tell you."

The county magistrate took a sip of tea, looked at the master hesitantly, and asked.

The master stared at their backs with burning eyes, his eyes filled with a hint of seriousness, and then he said in a solemn tone: "The essence of this group of people is still those bandits and robbers."

"They originally made a living by robbing. Who knows if they have some motive in mind recently, deliberately doing things secretly behind their backs, hoping to take this opportunity to blackmail others?"

The more the master spoke, the more serious his face became. He frowned and said in a solemn tone: "Perhaps they dislike the fact that they are making less money recently, so I don't know for sure, so they thought of this trick and secretly wanted to Earn some money?"

"You're right."

The county magistrate nodded, his face was very solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "But for such a small profit, I have lost my credibility. Is it really worth it?"

"Master County Master, these people are all bandits who don't understand anything. They have short-sightedness. How could they have such long-term ideas?"

"I still think we should investigate them carefully!"
