Cheng Bo sighed when he heard this: "What Guard Zhang and his men have thought of, how could we servants not have thought of it? He also wants to start from the county government and ask the government for information. If those people are useful, why would we go to the capital to seek help. Don't be afraid of you laughing at me. Although I am a servant, I am not a fool. If I follow them and follow their style of behavior today, I am afraid I will never find the master in my life."

"Then why did you choose to follow me? I may not be able to find your master."

Xu Yao smiled and led the horse into the town.

"Because Madam Xu discovered something that they didn't." Cheng Bo was not praising her hypocritically, but was really impressed.

"Based on the details you have seen today and what you said, it is enough to convince me that there is something wrong with the master's disappearance. No wonder we servants living downstairs have not seen the master come downstairs. The guy on duty outside did not see him either."

It turns out that by opening the window of the next room, you can sneak someone out in this way. For Cheng Bo, this is really unheard of.

"Xu...Xu Xiaolang, I finally believe that Madam Liu was right to send you here."

Xu Yao smiled but didn't feel complimented in his heart.

This old man is so loyal that if I want to sneak away, I have to find him first, which is a bit troublesome.

If this happened in the end times, you could just run away without any hesitation. What would you have to worry about?

Xu Yao suddenly felt that there were still some benefits to the end of the world.

Unfortunately, with the change of social environment, one has to change one’s style of doing things.

"Madam Xu, what should we do next?"

Xu Yao thought for a moment and said, "Let's find an inn to stay at first. It will take some time to find out the time here."

Cheng Bo agreed with this and told Xu Yao that they had been to this place before.

As soon as the master disappeared, they went to the county government office and even made inquiries from various sources on the way to the capital, but they never expected that this small town, which was less than half an hour away from the post station, would be the place where the master disappeared.

Because this was the direction of leaving the capital, they never thought that those people might kidnap the master and leave.

"Why do you think they kidnapped the master? If it was a kidnapping, they should have left a blackmail letter. But there is not even a note. What do they want? They are not here to seek revenge."

Cheng Bo didn't say anything. Xu Yao asked tentatively with the intention of listening to gossip, "Your master is also an official. Did he offend someone when he was the county magistrate, so he attracted revenge from his enemies?"

Cheng Bo's face was a little solemn when he heard this, but his tone was firm, "My master is a kind person. The Tan County he went to was originally a poor place. My old master left countless followers in the court. If the master wanted to go to a rich county to be a county magistrate, it would be easy, but he chose Tan County."

That place was a remote and poor place. When he first went there with Master Han, the gate of the county government was in tatters.

But Mr. Han was a man of strong character and stayed in Tan County for six years.

Over the past six years, he has worked diligently and transformed Tan County from a poor small county into a prosperous county with a large population and a prosperous economy.

The area is now rich in silk, mulberry leaves, and grain.

Now, under his governance, Tan County has been politically stable and the people are living a good life.

"If you really have any enemies, there is still a family."

Xu Yao became interested: "Oh, what family?"

"That place was poor. One year, there was a drought around it. The people could not survive, so someone took over the land and claimed to be the king. He raised a flagpole and robbed the merchants passing by."

Master Han spared no efforts, training the militia while uniting troops stationed elsewhere. After three months of hard work, he finally took over the stronghold.

But when Master Han led his men to the mountain stronghold, he discovered that most of the people there were poor people who could not survive and were forced to become bandits.

"The master was kind-hearted. He brought these people down from the mountain and did not punish them. Instead, he settled them down, distributed land to them, taught them earnestly, and guided them to farm and weave."

It sounds like this master of the Han family is a good official.

"But not all of these bandits are good people. Their leader is a ruthless beast who doesn't care about the lives of others just for his own survival. The master personally sentenced him to death."

"Is the person dead?"

Cheng Bo nodded: "He died, he died at that time. If he hadn't died, how could those people who were half-forced and half-helpless by him live in peace?"

"What's his name?" Xu Yao was curious whether it was a Panshan dragon.

"I only remember his last name is Li, no one knows his specific name. Because he has a pair of evil eyes and looks particularly fierce, people call him Ghost Eye Li."

"He's dead. What about his family? Are they all dead?"

It seems that these bandits who kill people without warning are all going to kill their entire family.

Cheng Bo shook his head: "We didn't find his family. The master's idea at the time was to deal with the bandit leader. As for his family, since no one knows, we won't pursue it. After all, in the eyes of the master, the most important thing is to let the people have enough food and live and work in peace."

If the family of the ghost eye is really seeking revenge...

Xu Yao took out a portrait and gave it to him. He had drawn several portraits of Panshan Dragon, and this was a spare one.

"But this person."

Cheng Bo shook his head. "Although this man looks hideous, he is still far inferior to that ghost-eyed man."

Xu Yao nodded and put away the portrait.

She was a little hungry, so when she saw the small stall in front of her, she took Chengbo to eat first.

As the sky gradually darkened and people on the street slowly packed up their stalls, Xu Yao ordered a bowl of wontons and was eating with gusto when he suddenly heard the words "Han Feng".

She immediately raised her head and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw two men in shorts hurriedly walking past her not far away.

Xu Yao was very sure that the words just now were said by the burly man who passed by.

She paused and asked Cheng Bo, "How many inns are there in this town?"

"There is only one Sanshui Inn here."

"Well, I'll go to the bathroom. If I don't see you when I come back later, how about I go to Sanshui Inn to look for you?"

Cheng Bo nodded after hearing what she said. Xu Yao paid for the meal and hurriedly followed. Cheng Bo waited until she left before he remembered something and hurriedly put down the wontons in his hand and followed.

It’s a pity that his legs and feet were not as nimble as Xu Yao’s, and he lost the person after a while.

Xu Yao followed the people who were talking, and with his extraordinary hearing, he managed to hear them say something like "Go back quickly, you can't stay long after buying things." They also said that the guy was really picky, even though he was tied up, he was still picky about food.

She paused. This seemed a little different from the good county magistrate she knew who was diligent in his work and loved his people.

Was the person they were talking about just now really Lord Han Feng?

The two men walked further and further away, and soon came to a place where it was inconvenient to follow them.

Xu Yao stopped and kept a distance from them, using his strength to determine the direction in which the two were walking.

They turned left about forty or fifty meters away, then walked inside for about ten meters and knocked on the door before going in.
