Chapter 15 County Government’s Response

early morning.

The outer hall of the county prison.

After resting for a few hours, Zhang Hua sat up from the crib and stretched. He felt that it was another refreshing day, and the bloody discomfort of last night's first period had completely disappeared.

After walking out of the small resting room and simply wiping his face, Zhang Hua asked Wu Dachun, who was holding a cigarette pot: "Uncle Wu, what's going on up front? Is there any news yet?"

"It can't be that fast." Wu Dachun looked at the sky outside and said, "Wait a minute. At this point, those adults have just arrived at the county government office. By the way, I've already given your report to the boss. .

As for the demon species, although this matter is more urgent, if you have to come up with a charter, there will be no results within an hour. Also, Xiaohua, Uncle Wu, thank you very much for what happened before. "

"Uncle Wu, you're here again. Didn't you say what you said yesterday? Why are you so polite to me? You've taken good care of me these two days." Seeing Wu Dachun thanking him again, Zhang Hua quickly waved his hand and replied.

"Okay, then Uncle Wu won't say any more."

Wu Dachun responded with a smile, and then said, "Xiaohua, you are not young anymore. Do you want me to introduce you to a wife? Don't worry about money. Our county magistrate is quite generous. You praise him so much and reward him with silver." I must have one or twenty taels, which is enough to get a wife."

"No, please don't, Uncle Wu, thank you first." Upon hearing that he wanted to introduce his wife, Zhang Hua quickly refused, "I'm only sixteen, and I haven't thought about my wife yet. Besides, I want to introduce him more now. I work hard in martial arts and don’t have the energy to think about other things. Let’s talk about it in a few years.”

"Okay, then tell your uncle when you want a wife. Your aunt knows a few good girls, all of whom have just gotten hairpins."

Hearing Zhang Hua talk about martial arts, Wu Dachun stopped persuading him. After all, martial arts and his wife both consume energy.

"Hey, thank you, Uncle Wu, I'll go take a look in the yard." Zhang Hua responded casually and said nothing more.

Ji Ji is only 15 years old, what a sin!
For some reason, Zhang Hua suddenly thought of Xinlan. She had just gotten haircut, so she couldn't get married so early!Giving birth to a child at this age is fatal. Why don't you find time to talk to your sister about it!

……

The adults' discussion was slower than Wu Dachun expected. It was almost noon before Zhao Daniu came over to inform them of the outcome of the discussion.

The city guards are on alert, and a group of policemen from the Yamen are secretly investigating. The incident report has been sent to Shendu. It is best if the county government can find out the demon species in the dark. Even if not, they can wait for someone from Shendu to come. Besides, it’s only a matter of a day or two anyway.

Speaking of which, Lin'an City is the county town closest to Shendu. Unfortunately, it is just because it is too close. There is Qingcheng further away, and it is relatively remote and not on the main traffic road, so most caravans are there. They rested in Qingcheng, and then spent a day directly rushing to Shendu. There was no need to even pass by Lin'an City in the middle.

It would be wrong to say that Lin'an City is not important. Including the surrounding villages, Lin'an City is also a large county with a population of [-] to [-]. It shares the population pressure of Shendu and provides a lot of agricultural and sideline products... In short, it is just like the stone market in the previous life. Lin'an City is in an awkward position, neither up nor down.

In terms of advantages, it may be that it is close to the gods, and the security is relatively high. Like this demon species incident, the gods will be able to come over quickly to provide support.

Zhao Daniu didn't just come here to deliver news, he also informed Zhang Hua that they would go out together to investigate the matter of the demon species. Wu Dachun would be the only one watching over from the county jail.

The county magistrate has spoken, offering a reward of ten taels of silver to find a demon species, but he is not absolutely sure and is not allowed to capture or kill him privately... As everyone knows, this is because he is afraid of causing unrest among all the demon species in the city.

When Zhao Daniu finished speaking, Zhang Hua did not hesitate and said immediately: "Brother Daniu, please wait a moment, I will explain to Uncle Wu."

"Well, okay, I'll go to the warehouse to pick up two crossbows first, and we'll meet at the Yamen Gate later."

Zhao Daniu responded, and then explained, "By the way, let's talk to Old Wu. The county has ordered that the guys in the prison should not be released for the time being, and no one should visit them until this matter is over. Say it again."

"Well, I see."

……

After ten minutes.

On the most prosperous central street in the city, Zhang Hua looked at Zhao Daniu asking questions from shop to shop, feeling speechless and a little stunned.

Of course, he was speechless because this didn't seem to have much to do with detecting the demon species. What was surprising was naturally the money he got... Halfway down the street, he had almost two taels in his hands!
Zhao Daniu still has the share of all the agents!
"Okay, let's go to the next one!" After naturally throwing a dime of silver to Zhang Hua, Zhao Daniu walked to a cloth shop.

"Wait a minute, Brother Daniu." As an honest man, Zhang Hua was afraid that the money would be hot, so he asked, "Is it appropriate for us to collect this money? Shouldn't we be patrolling the streets in the second shift this month?"

"Haha, you don't have to worry about this."

Zhao Daniu patted Zhang Hua on the shoulder and said with a smile, "The second class patrols the streets to collect money, and we get the bulk of it. They mostly help with running errands. After all, our first class is the real police, so you don't have to worry about your own money." You took too much, and your extra share is because of what happened before, and you discovered it early, and everyone appreciates your kindness, okay, let’s go to the next one!”

"Wait a minute."

Feeling that it was a waste of time, Zhang Hua stopped Zhao Daniu again, and then asked softly in the face of the other party's doubts: "Brother Daniu, aren't we going to investigate the devil! Compared with this little money, that's more important!"

"Check that!" Zhao Daniu was a little speechless after hearing that, "Xiaohua, you think too much, it's not so easy, there are too few clues, it's not easy to check, Li Tou went to Baihualou to check, we casually Just pay attention.”

"A clue, doesn't the Qian family count as a clue?" Zhang Hua couldn't help but ask, remembering what Wu Dachun said before.

"The Qian family!" Zhao Daniu shook his head after hearing this and said, "The Qian family is not easy to investigate. There is no real evidence, and there is no order from the county magistrate. How can we investigate it with just a few detectives? We can't just break into the Qian Mansion to investigate. They also have backers in Shendu, let's wait until the people from Shendu come to talk about it!"

We all have a backer in God!

That's right, Lin'an is so close to the Capital of Gods, and none of the big families in the city have connections to the Capital of Gods.

However, it’s okay not to check. If you don’t check, how can you fish in troubled waters and earn wealth!
Having made up his mind, Zhang Hua said again: "Brother Daniu, although we can't go into the Qian family to investigate, we can let them come to us! If there is really a problem with the Qian family, we can always find something if we have more contact with them. , even if there is nothing, we still have some confidence in our hearts!
Moreover, tomorrow night at the latest, people will come from Shendu. If nothing is found, the county minister will be fine, but those of us who are working in the front will inevitably be in trouble. If it is more serious, give us If the merits and demerits are balanced, the silver reward promised may be in vain. "

"What you said makes sense."

There was nothing in the front, but when he heard the back, Zhao Daniu felt that this was what happened, and couldn't help but ask, "Xiaohua, what if we investigate the Qian family and find nothing!"

"Didn't I just say that I didn't realize that we also have some doubts in our hearts!"

It seems that this Zhao Daniu is not much better than his younger brother!Zhang Huaqiang cheered up and continued, "Brother Daniu, actually, it doesn't matter whether there are problems or not. What's important is that we investigate. Otherwise, when the people from Shendu arrive and know that the Qian family is involved in this matter, we don't." Go check it out and see what you think they will think!”

"There is collusion, inaction, fear of trouble..."

Zhao Daniu blurted out a few words, then reacted and couldn't help but praise, "Xiaohua, you are still smart. Li Tou didn't think of this. It seems that the Qian family really has to be investigated. Let's go." The Qian family.”

"and many more!"

"what happened again?"

Zhang Hua slapped his forehead, and couldn't help saying depressedly: "Brother Big Niu, didn't I say that since they have backers, it is not convenient for us to go to their house to check, so we have to let them find us, forget it, I just live This is around here, please wait for me and I’ll go back to get something.”

"Okay, I just went to collect the money from the front. Meet you at the door of the cloth shop in a while!" Because of Zhang Hua's previous words, Zhao Daniu had unknowingly taken Zhang Hua as the main one.

"Yeah, very soon." Zhang Hua responded and ran towards the direction where he lived.

...

After a few minutes.

Zhang Hua came to Buxing with a package in his hand, and Zhao Daniu just came out of the shop next door. After seeing Zhang Hua, he felt a little surprised!
"Xiaohua, why are you so fast!"

"It's going to be lunch soon."

After replying, Zhang Hua shook the package in his hand and said, "Let's go to Qian's locker shop to find something to do."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Central Street is the most prosperous area in Lin'an City. The Qian family naturally has a store here. After walking a hundred or ten meters, Zhang Hua and the others arrived.

Looking at the four big characters "Qian's Cabinet" on the plaque, Zhang Hua seemed to see wealth waving to him. There are not many opportunities for an upright mattress!

Well, I need to swad him more!

Because it was close to noon, there were only one or two customers in the shop. They were probably businessmen from nearby and came to exchange for some silver or copper coins.

boom!
When he arrived at the counter, Zhang Hua called directly: "Shopkeeper, please change the copper coins, 50 taels."

"Hey! Isn't this Captain Zhao and Captain Zhang? What kind of wind has brought you two here? Xiao Chen, hurry up and serve tea." When the shopkeeper saw Zhang Hua and his two men coming over, he did not go to pick up the package, but first He greeted him warmly, then walked out of the counter and leaned next to Zhao Daniu, stretched out his hand and held two pieces of broken silver.

"Cough cough!"

Hearing the sound, Zhao Daniu threw the money to Zhang Hua very wisely. He knew that he was here to serve as a foil, but it still depends on what Zhang Hua does.

Zhang Hua took the silver and after absorbing two points of wealth, he walked to the shopkeeper again, gave him the money and said: "Okay, shopkeeper, there is no need to drink the tea. We are really here to exchange money. This money will be treated as Just pay the handling fee! Just be quick and change it for us as soon as possible."

What a money changer!Still 50 taels?

Seeing Zhang Hua's serious look, the shopkeeper was a little confused about the truth, but others followed the rules, and he could only follow the rules.

"Hey, wait a moment, you two, have a sip of tea first. I'll change it for you right away. It will be done for you soon." After the shopkeeper asked Xiao Chen to continue serving tea, he returned to the counter.

Opening the package, it's really all silver. Judging from his many years of experience, even if it's not 50 taels, it's almost enough. Seeing so much money, the shopkeeper couldn't help but look at Zhang Hua a few more times.

As usual, I cut a few pieces of silver into pieces, no problem, and then weighed them. It was 49 taels, not 50 taels. The shopkeeper threw the 51 taels of broken silver up expressionlessly, and then shouted: "51 taels of silver. Tall ones, in exchange for [-] copper coins, and [-] cash."

Good guy, this is only half a tael of handling fees. Sure enough, opening a bank means you have money.

 I just signed the contract. I hope you will collect it more, recommend it more, and read it more. Thank you all.
