This harmless little awkwardness caused Han Lang to lose his temper when they returned to Anping.

He Yijiu said that the gang affairs have almost stabilized, and he can start to do something else.Han Lang asked him what this "other" meant, and he smiled inscrutablely, saying that it would be kept secret for the time being.

"Honestly, if you still want to become an official, why don't you try with King Zhao?"

"It's His Royal Highness Zhao Wang," Han Lang hurriedly corrected him, and said, "Your Highness is kind to me, and I should do my best. However, it has been several days since I returned to Anping, but he has not contacted me. I don't know why. gone."

He Yijiu bumped his ribs with his elbow, and said with a smile, "Oh, you speak so quackly. I think we've been missing for too long, and he's not interested in us."

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao will be there, the two just walked to the door of the house, they saw a man in charge waiting there, and when they saw the two, they bowed respectfully and said: "Mr. Han, Mr. He."

Han Lang recognized at a glance that this was Zhao Wang's person, and he didn't dare to neglect him at all, so he hurriedly invited him in to talk.The steward said that King Zhao wanted to meet with them in ten days.As for why it was ten days later, it was because he was busy with another matter, so he had no time to do it for the time being.

He also comforted Han Lang and said: "Young Master Han, you don't have to worry about the official position. His Royal Highness Zhao Wang said that it is actually a good thing that you lost the post of county lieutenant. His Highness has arranged for you to serve as an apprentice temporarily under the command of Your Excellency in Dali Temple." In fact, His Royal Highness is still dispatching you. We will arrange promotion for you after you pass the Jinshi examination in the future."

After finishing speaking, he bowed down again: "My little one, let's congratulate Mr. Han first."

Before Han Lang could answer, He Yijiu immediately rushed to ask, "Dali Temple? Do you want us to move into Beijing?"

The steward smiled slightly: "After all, Anping has a long way to go. If His Royal Highness Zhao has something to arrange, it will be inconvenient for the two of you to run back and forth. As for Mr. He, His Highness said that you have not passed the examination for fame, so it is difficult to arrange, so let the younger one first." Let's hear your opinion, will you accompany me to the capital, or do you have other plans?"

The subtext is that He Yijiu is a reckless man who is not suitable to be an official anymore. Of course He Yijiu doesn't want to go into an official career, but he almost didn't think about it before opening his mouth and answering: "I will go if Han Lang goes."

The steward didn't seem surprised, nodded, turned to Han Lang and said, "Then what does Mr. Han mean?"

Han Lang was also hesitant. Frankly speaking, many of his thoughts have changed during this trip home.I used to think that I would stay in Anping all my life and be a good official with a clear conscience, and that would be fine.But good fortune tricks people, he has a special blood, and has learned an extraordinary ability, but he dare not tell anyone.Today, he may not be able to return to the kind of life he used to live in the past.

He felt that He Yijiu's hand was always on his shoulder, which seemed to give him a kind of strength invisibly.After hesitating for a long time like this, he slowly replied: "To tell you the truth, I went back to the ancestral house this time..."

He originally wanted to say that his family has a mysterious origin and is good at magic and evil techniques. A person of his status might be criticized if he enters the court and becomes an official.Unexpectedly, after half a sentence, the other party laughed and said, "Mr. Han went back to the barren mountain stream, right? His Highness Zhao Wang already knew about it. After all, Mr. Han has been missing for so long, so His Highness can't let it go? But You don't have to worry, my lord, His Highness doesn't think that your identity is different, and it just so happens that something strange has happened in the court, it would be great if an apprentice like you could assist Sir Yu in investigating the case."

After he finished speaking, Han Lang still had a troubled expression on his face. He Yijiu next to him seemed to want to discuss with the people around him, but he couldn't open his mouth because the manager was in the way.The manager is a transparent person, and he immediately understood the general situation when he saw the situation, and said with a smile: "If the two of you have made a decision, you can tell His Royal Highness Zhao Wang after ten days. During this period, the two of you can handle some things that you didn't have time to deal with before. matter. Then, I will take my leave first.”

As soon as this person left, He Yijiu hurriedly grabbed Han Lang, and opened his mouth to ask, "What do you think?"

"I definitely have to go," Han Lang smiled wryly, "He can even find out where I went, I'm afraid our every move is under his control. The key is you, your territory is Anping, now I'm going to Beijing, what should you do?"

He Yijiu smiled easily: "What can I have? I said earlier that I will go wherever you go. Isn't the site just a job, where can't you make a living? It just so happens that you don't like me doing these beatings and killings Well, there is a mix of dragons and snakes in the capital, so I'm afraid I can't use it. But don't worry, you can't take advantage of Zhao Wang's grandson, ask him to buy me a shop, and I will do something else."

When Han Lang heard that he still remembered what he said a few days ago, his heart softened for a while, but when he heard him call Zhao Wang's grandson, he was so frightened that he almost rushed up to cover his mouth.He Yijiu laughed, and took the opportunity to pull him into his arms: "A-Lang, I said earlier, it's a lifetime thing for me to fall in love with you, and no one can easily get rid of me."

Han Lang's ears turned red from his embarrassment, and he was even more moved when he heard that the other party was so disregarded for him. "But I have a condition," He Yijiu whispered in his ear, "When the matter around King Zhao is over, and the truth about Baochangba that you wanted to find out at that time has surfaced, you come with me. Don't go to the Jinshi examination, and become an official."

His breath and words were all blown into Han Lang's ears, making his heart feel hot, and he couldn't help raising his head to look at the affectionate man in front of him, his eyes couldn't hide his fascination.He Yijiu kissed his forehead and continued: "I seldom ask you for anything, I just ask you this time, don't wait until the end of the road is really dead before leaving, when the time comes, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave even if you want to."

Han Lang blinked and murmured, "Okay...I promise you."

He Yijiu threw him on the ground, pressed him affectionately on the chair and kissed him non-stop.The two lingered for a long time, and finally turned into Han Lang nestled in his arms, with his arms folded around his abdomen.He Yijiu buried his head behind his shoulder, lowered his voice and said, "At that time, I have a secret to tell you."

"What secret?" Han Lang asked curiously.

"Not now."

Han Lang smiled: "Okay, then I have a secret too, let's tell you together."

In the evening, Han Lang recalled what the person sent by King Zhao had said during the day, and suddenly realized something was wrong: "He said 'things that I didn't have time to deal with', what is it?"

He Yijiu pondered for a moment: "Do you think, who here knows that we went to the Barren Mountains?"

Han Lang fell into deep thought, and immediately came up with the answer.They didn't talk to anyone. They told Yao Xinlian to keep it a secret. She was always loyal and would definitely not reveal it.Then only... County Magistrate Yuan?

"Could it be him?" Han Lang muttered, "The unfinished business...this is..."

He Yijiu smiled sinisterly: "It seems that that matter can be done a little more boldly."

The next day was a crisp autumn day, Han Lang wandered alone in the street, and He Yijiu went out early.The sun has just come out, and it makes people's backs warm, and the wind blowing on the face carries a hint of autumnal coolness. It really is the best time of the year. People walk outside and feel so comfortable that they just want to stretch their waists .

The fronts of the shops facing the street are covered with a layer of gold by the rising sun, which dazzles people's eyes.Surrounded by hawkers, I saw Han Lang, whom I hadn’t seen for a long time, Aunt Zhao who was selling steamed buns, Aunt Li who was making clothes, and Uncle Liu who was selling chestnuts.He simply stopped, helping them while chatting with them.As he was talking, he slipped up on the matter of entering the capital without paying attention, and the neighbors were amazed, saying that Mr. Han is indeed a dragon and phoenix among the people, and now he flies to the capital to become a high-ranking official!

Han Lang scratched the back of his head and smiled a little embarrassedly, but there was a secret sadness in his heart.He was about to leave Anping, and these neighbors who had watched him grow up would probably find it difficult to see each other in the future.

Thinking of this, he tried harder to help.The scene on the street was still the same, except for a familiar shout.Lin Xiaosheng—or Zhuzhen—has disappeared, and there is a lack of a peddler on the street. Many girls with secret hearts secretly opened the wooden windows in the morning. You must be losing your head.

But Han Lang knew that Zhuzhen's current mood might not be very happy.Where would he go after leaving Nguyen Binh that day?Han Lang couldn't figure it out, and now he couldn't take care of himself, otherwise he would have helped find someone long ago.

At noon, many stalls were about to be closed, and Han Lang also bid farewell to the neighbors.When he passed the county office, he wanted to say hello to Master Meng and A Bao, but he didn't expect that there was a commotion in the county office, and a man with a mustache was aggressively lecturing the policemen. Han Lang listened to it for two In other words, they are all accusing his subordinates of being unfavorable in doing things, and saying that they can't even catch a thief.

Looking at the mustache wearing the official uniform of the county lieutenant, Han Lang understood that this man was his successor.Look at this skill is not very good.he thought to himself.At this time, I only heard the mustache growl: "If you can't find out who stole the county magistrate's things! You all don't do it!"

oh?County magistrate Yuan was stolen?Han Lang almost wanted to applaud.Not long after the inside disbanded, Han Lang was still standing at the door, and Abao, who was dejected, came out. When he saw him, he immediately put on a bright smile: "Boss! You are back!"

Han Lang originally wanted to ask him to catch up on the old days, but seeing that he couldn't leave due to business, he walked with him for a while.He brought the rice cake made by He Yijiu from home, and gave half of it to Abao. Abao devoured it, his cheeks were stuffed, and he grabbed Han Lang's sleeve and choked up, "Boss, you are the best." --"

Then he complained that the county magistrate Yuan was vicious and loved to torment people, and the county captain with a mustache was a dog leg, he had no brains at all, and would only circle around the county magistrate. "Boss, why don't you come back, we all miss you so much!"

Han Lang was helpless: "I want to come back, but I can't."

"Then boss, can you help us investigate a case, just investigate one," he pitifully grabbed Han Lang's sleeve and did not let go, "Yuan county magistrate made a big fuss yesterday, saying that if we can't catch the prisoner, we will be arrested." Drive them all out, just like what the county captain said just now. We arresters, if we lose our jobs, we won't be able to live a good life..."

Han Lang patted him on the head: "Now that I don't have the status of county lieutenant, how can I investigate the case? You tell me what's going on first, and I'll listen."

Bao then began to explain.The matter is actually not complicated. County magistrate Yuan recently met a dancer, so he didn't stay at home every night.Everything was fine at first, but yesterday, his house was stolen overnight.There is no money left, big or small, the banknotes are gone, the silk cloth is gone, all the valuables at home have been murdered, even the rice jar that was just filled before is not empty.The thief seemed to have come to help him move. Except for some old wood, there was nothing left in the house.

Then, Yuan County Magistrate's purse was also stolen on his way to the county government office.All in all, he now has nothing left but the clothes on his body.In Abao's words, it was as if all the thieves in the city were mobilized overnight, just to steal away the county magistrate Yuan.

Han Lang was dumbfounded, thinking that this kind of thing had never happened to him during his tenure.A Bao also said that this was very strange, that's why County Magistrate Yuan got so angry that he almost went mad with anger.

The fact that this man teamed up with Mr. Han to harm him is still vivid, and Han Lang absolutely does not sympathize with him.But he promised Abao to help, so he still went to the scene to have a look.In the end, after only one glance, he felt that there was no way to investigate this case, and he could find clues about other theft cases. Footprints, I don't know where to start.

County Magistrate Yuan's tyrannical government has long caused complaints from the people. Han Lang felt that some desperate people forced by him did this. He really had no money to pay taxes, so he had no choice but to break the pot.There were too many people, and the case was difficult to investigate, and Han Lang didn't want to intervene from the bottom of his heart.So he asked Ah Bao to pay attention to the pawn shop and the ghost market first, and then he left with nothing to do and found an excuse to leave.

When he returned home in the evening, he told He Yijiu about this, and the other party really laughed out loud, mocking County Magistrate Yuan for taking it upon himself: "Then, you don't want to investigate this case, do you?"

The corner of Han Lang's mouth twitched: "How is it possible? I'll just mention a few words to Abao. Anyway, the county lieutenant is not me, whoever cares about it."

"That's right," He Yijiu said, bringing the freshly stewed soup to the table, "Come here, try this."

Pigeons were stewed in the pot. It was the first time I saw He Yijiu cook this dish. Han Lang immediately tasted it with his chopsticks and was full of praise.He Yijiu smiled, put a whole pigeon wing into Han Lang's bowl, and continued, "Let me tell you, the county magistrate's matter is probably not over yet."
