Chapter 184 Bai Qing Follows Closely ([-])
Finally, the selection of these old files was finally completed, and the whole morning was gone. I counted the number of files that were initially found, wrote a note for borrowing, and moved them to the caravan outside the side door to take them back to the Qianhu Office.

Qin Chuan was not in a hurry to leave, he patted the ashes on his body, and pulled the county magistrate to say that he should visit the magistrate before he left, otherwise Bo Qian would definitely be scolded if he couldn't answer the questions when he returned.

The county magistrate was so entangled by him that he couldn't help it, and he was also a little curious about why the county magistrate felt uncomfortable today and why his whole body was itchy.

When we arrived at the small front yard of the back house, the wife came out to apologize, saying that the county magistrate had put on ointment and had finally relieved the itching, and now he was asleep, and asked the county magistrate to take over the official duties for a few days.

The county magistrate and Qin Chuan politely bid farewell to his wife. When they got outside, the county magistrate sent Qin Chuan out of the Yamen and watched him ride away with two soldiers.

The cleaning up of the old files just now made the county magistrate feel uneasy when he thought about it now. He understood what Qin Chuan meant. Among them, the only one who has not been wronged is the former Donghai Navy, so now the families of those generals are imprisoned and their property is confiscated. It's better to bow your head and cooperate well.

Of course, the county magistrate wants to further his official career. Who is willing to be a county magistrate for a lifetime, and he also wants to be the head of a county, but the premise is that he must save his own life. One day the pirates would come into Donglin County to smash, loot and burn, and their official career would be hopeless. Wouldn't that be wronged?

Just thinking about it, the master knocked on the door and came in, with a bad expression on his face.

"What's the matter? Is there something urgent outside?"

"Yesterday, there are rumors spreading on the street that Qi Ke was taken into custody, saying that Mrs. Shen has set her sights on Zhuangzi, a little lady, and wants to sell it to the Bai family army, and that's why she was framed and imprisoned."

"How did this rumor spread?!" The county magistrate's heart skipped a beat, they all knew that the Shen clan really had such an idea, but it would be terrible if this matter spread to the streets and let the people discuss it.

"It is said that it was the house where the funeral was held. Some mourners saw that the wounds of the deceased were bitten by wild animals. The area of ​​Siliu Village is adjacent to the Jiuzhi Mountain Mountain Range. It is normal to have wild animals. The deceased died at the mouth of wild animals. It has nothing to do with the little lady, but Mrs. Chen seized this opportunity to instruct her servants to report to the officials and arrest him in order to seize his property." The master clerk sorted out all the different rumors he heard, and found the same a bit of content.

"...Now it depends on how the Shen clan responds. In short, we didn't leak it. As for their condolence guests, if they can't control their mouths, let them call themselves."

"However, I'm worried that the Bai family army will hear the news that the person in charge of this county is Bai Qing, the eldest son of General Bai."

"Tsk!" The county magistrate also felt troubled for a while, and rubbed his forehead with a headache, "Why is this young master sitting in this county?"

One side just wanted to establish a good relationship with the Bai family army, but the other end made a mess. If the young master Bai knew that the way to build a good relationship with their Bai family army in the local area was to rob people's property and sell it well...

"If the young master knows, will he take the opportunity to chop off a few heads to establish his prestige? Speaking of which, the Bai family army is still busy settling down and has not yet begun to establish their prestige locally. If they really try the Shen family How to do?!"

The master was taken aback by the county magistrate's guess, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it was.
