Chapter 53
The yamen servants of the county government office wore sabers and wore official clothes, and all of them seriously checked the people who went down the mountain and up the mountain. When they saw the exile team coming from a distance, they were ready for the handover and interrogation.

"Stop, the government government is conducting routine investigations!"

The leader of the government office frowned and called his subordinates to compare the appearance of the officials and exiles one by one. They basically all held a portrait in their hands.

"What's the matter? It seems to be a wanted warrant. The one on it is bandits. I look a bit like... Is the imperial court going to clear the bandits?"

"Master, why are you staring at me like that? Look carefully, these eyebrows, these eyes, I don't look like the person in the portrait at all, don't get me wrong..."

The exiles cooperated with the inspection by the yamen servants, and the spirit of gossip was burning behind their backs. After all, they had never encountered a set card along the way, so it was obviously something wrong!
"Colleagues have worked hard. I was offended just now. There is a reason for the incident. I hope Haihan!"

The interrogation by the yamen servants was over, and the leader of the yamen servants cupped his hands at Wang Gang, with a slightly guilty expression on his face.

"It's okay, what's going on, is it convenient to talk about it? I think these bandits look familiar, and they have encountered them before, so they escaped by luck..."

Wang Gang took a look at the county government checkpoint. This posture is not small. I am afraid it is not an ordinary thing. For the sake of face, he took the initiative to conceal the fact that the officials were once captured by bandits.
While the leader of the yamen servants, Wang Gang and the others were whispering to each other, the exile team had already scattered around to rest, and the whispered discussions of the tea guests came to their ears one after another.

"Have you heard? Those mountain bandits were so arrogant that they burned three wealthy families in the city in one night! How much gold and silver and treasures would have to be taken away! If they were caught, they would have to cut off their heads ?!"

"Your news is not good! How did I hear that there was such a big commotion in the government because Zhang Futai's home also suffered? I heard that early in the morning, I went to the government office in a panic to arrest these gangsters and come back Qiandao Cut to death..."

Cheng Weiyao listened to it calmly on the face, but she was thinking behind her back, Zhang Futai?Could it be that fat county magistrate...

On the other hand, Wen Liyu, who couldn't bear to worry about anything, praised her with a cheerful face.

"The burning is good! The Zhangfutai on the left and right are not very good people. They look like thieves and squirrels, and they are making bad ideas at first sight. At that time, they made a lot of sarcastic remarks, and they didn't take Qingping Palace seriously. Now they really suffer. Retribution!"

Cheng Weiyao's face darkened, and she hurriedly stepped forward, covered Wen Liyu's mouth, and pulled her back.

Why did this aunt speak out all the words in her heart? It would be troublesome if the servants of the county government heard it.

"Well... Cheng Weiyao, what are you doing?! Is it okay if I say a few words of justice?"

Wen Liyu was dragged back a few steps. Although her face was dissatisfied, her volume was lowered as Cheng Weiyao wished. From the first glance, she didn't like the chubby county magistrate, with a pair of small eyes embedded in her face. She looks treacherous and obscene, and she still glances at herself when she has nothing to do...

"All right, all right, I don't care if you greet his eighth-generation ancestors secretly, but the people in the government office are still there, and you don't want to cause trouble, do you?"

Cheng Weiyao rubbed her temples helplessly. Of course she knew Wen Liyu's dislike for Zhang Futai. After all, that Zhang Futai used Wang Gang's mouth to express the hope that Wen Liyu would stay as a concubine... If this aunt finds out, it's okay Do not blow hair on the spot.

"What are you guys muttering about?! Are you full of tea?"

The leader of the yamen servant slapped the table where the tea guests were arguing just now, obviously dissatisfied with the ordinary people talking about officials.

"What a loyal dog..."

Wen Liyu muttered something in a low voice, and after receiving a warning look from Cheng Weiyao, she reluctantly shut up.

And the other exiles were all very happy after hearing the news. Although they lost a lot of money, at least they were lucky that they didn't burn everyone to death in the cottage...

And Cheng Weiyao frowned slightly. From this point of view, these bandits committed crimes and looted treasures, so they all ran away.Most of the burning down of the cottage was to eliminate the traces of life, and cut off the clues that the government would find the cottage one day.

The only thing that puzzled her was, since the bandits had already done so many evil things, how could they spare the lives of everyone? They were so cautious that they could silence them...

The officials simply drank a little tea, and after a while they yelled at everyone to go on the road again. They needed to climb over a mountain ridge, which dragged down the blessings of the bandits. few.

It didn't take long before a vast plain appeared in front of me. The weather was clear, and occasionally there would be a gust of wind, brushing the broken hair around her ears, making Cheng Weiyao feel rare and comfortable.

The plain is so wide that you can't see the edge at all. You can only vaguely see a river passing through the valley in the distance, flowing along the hillside, and finally converging into a crystal-clear stream at your feet.

Although there are tall trees growing on both sides from time to time, at least you can see at a glance whether there are people hiding inside.

Whether it is the previous official road or business road, almost all of them are in the deep mountains and old forests. Whether it is a black bear or a bandit ambushing, it is impossible to guard against, and people have to be vigilant and fearful all the way.

"Whoever is a woman, first learn how to stand up. The only way to build a body is to be clean and chaste. If you are clean, you will be clean, and if you are chaste, you will be honorable. Don't look back when you do something, and don't lift your lips when you speak..."

Wen Liyu has been closely following Cheng Weiyao, and naturally sees her every word and deed, and immediately lectures her with disdain.

What she recites are all the female virtues she learned since she was a child. Whether she can wear skirts, the three obediences and the four virtues are all basic requirements, and she thinks she has always implemented them very well.

"Looking at how promising you are, isn't it a smoother road? After all, you are also an official lady from the Duke's Mansion. Why are you so ignorant of etiquette and have so little knowledge..."

Cheng Weiyao frowned, and Yu Mo raised her lips to ask for a smile without showing her teeth. The rules of the ancients are really unusual.

From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Wen Chengyun, who also seemed to be in a happy mood, and choked.

"It's useless for you to tell me this. I have such a temperament. If you are really dissatisfied, you just ask your husband to divorce me. He, the person next to the pillow, doesn't care about these things. My sister-in-law is holding on to it. It's a bit unreasonable, right?"
