Zhuque County.

Mian Cheng has been busy at home for a long time.

He has given a banquet.

The neighbors all came to help, and then the banquet was properly arranged.

At noon, the brothers arrived in twos and threes, and some officials from the government office also arrived.

A total of ten tables of food, placed here in Mian City, is already a big deal.

In the past, he usually ate with his ten or so brothers and had never held such a big banquet.

But this time it was different, he couldn't do it without showing off.

Because, the imperial court's commendation has been distributed, he received a large sum of money, and his official position was promoted to a higher level.

For such a big happy event, according to the rules here in Sixiang County, if you don't set up a banquet, you will be stabbed in the spine.

"Congratulations to Mr. Mi on your promotion."

"I hope you can help me in the future."

"Mr. Mi is now the chief arrester of the county government. His rank has been improved. The next step is to be promoted to the county."

"Congratulations, congratulations, small gifts are not respectful."

Mian Cheng didn't like this kind of occasion, but he had to socialize.

It lasted until nightfall, and Mian Cheng dragged his tired body and sent the future guests away one by one, and returned to his house.

Suddenly the hairs all over his body stood up, and the long knife on his waist suddenly came out of its sheath.

"Brother, it's me."

The familiar voice came, which made Mian Cheng feel more relaxed.

He raised his finger and lit the candle.

"Xingshi, didn't you go to work with the commander-in-chief?"

Mian Cheng said doubtfully.

The person staying in his house was his good brother Shen Xingshi.

"Master Zi has granted me a half-day vacation and allowed me to come over and have a look."

Master Shen Xing took out a red bag from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

"Congratulations to my eldest brother on your promotion. My sister-in-law and I will have a good life in the future."

Master Shen Xing smiled.

"Thanks to General Cao Wenhua for eradicating the cancer, the sun has dawned in Zhuque County!" Mian Cheng was filled with emotion.

During the years when Cao Wenhua was here, the people of Zhuque County were miserable, and many people at the bottom were living a life worse than a pig or a dog.

Since Cao Wenhua was arrested, all of Cao Wenhua's gang members were wiped out. From time to time in Zhuque County, merchants and people who had been oppressed would set off firecrackers to celebrate.

It took a long time for this kind of New Year-like celebration to gradually return to normal.

"That's right, we don't have to hide, we can walk outside openly."

Master Shen Xing sighed.

"I have asked someone to take the letter to the countryside and ask Madam and others to come to the county seat. There is no need to worry about it in the future."

Mian Cheng smiled.

"Brother, let them not come to the county for the time being."

Master Shen Xing said solemnly.

"Why is this? Are there still Cao Wenhua's dead men lurking?" Mian Cheng was stunned.

Cao Wenhua had many followers in the past, but when the tree falls and the hozen disperses, no one is a fool.

After Cao Wenhua was overthrown, it was too late for everyone to draw a clear line with him, so how could they go out of their way to fight for him?

"Cao Wenhua is not a dead soldier, nor is he a dead soldier, but it is more serious than this."

Master Shen Xing didn't say the specific situation, but Mian Cheng understood it as soon as he heard it.

I didn't say it was because of the need to keep it secret, but since Master Shen Xing reminded it, it meant that there was still a huge crisis lurking in Zhuque County. They were in the middle of the situation and there was no way to really escape.

If family members hiding in the countryside enter the city, there is no guarantee that they will be in danger.

"Okay, I'll fix a letter right now and let people take it back. They must be still packing their luggage and haven't set off yet."

Mian Cheng nodded.

"After this period, just wait until the matter is settled. I believe that the general can deal with those monsters."

Master Shen Xing was very convinced of Luo Fengtang. He always felt that if he wanted to truly live a good life, Luo Fengtang should turn the tide and eradicate the villains in the dark corners.

"Yes, Daqi is now on the verge of collapse due to internal and external troubles. Fortunately, the current Holy Emperor is a promising king, and General Luo is also very capable. Sooner or later, those evil people will be eliminated."

Mian City Road.

"Do you need my help?"

Mian Cheng added another sentence.

"It's necessary. I'm here this time not only because Master Zi gave me a false approval for a personal matter, but I also have an official matter that I want to see you for."

Master Shen Xing said seriously.

"What's the matter? I must handle the official business well."

When it came to official matters, Mian Cheng's expression became serious.

He has always been like this, taking official matters very seriously.

"In this official matter, we cannot give orders openly, we can only act secretly."

Next, Master Shen Xing told what he was going to do.

Specifically, Mian City pays attention to the security of Zhuque County, especially the disappearance case.

This matter is not easy to handle.

The reason is simple. There are one million people in Zhuque County.

There are hundreds of thousands of people in the city, so how can he control who is missing?

However, since Mian Cheng has received the task, he will go all out and complete it to the letter.

"I can only say that I tried my best, but I can't guarantee that no one will go missing."

Mian City Road.

He couldn't magnify it and say he could do it.

Because, he just can't do it.

"It's okay. As long as the city's inspections are tightened, it will be much more difficult to get the people. Brother, all you have to do is do your best."

Shen Xingshi Dao.

In fact, no one expects Mian City to be able to do it.

Just release enough pressure and Master Shen Xing will take care of the rest.

He didn't reveal anything about the Xiao family.

Because Mian City is not a hidden guard, and the affairs of the Xiao family are truly secret matters. Now they are only known within the hidden guards. Without the permission of Zi Yan or Luo Fengtang, he would not tell them.

After talking about official matters for a while, Mian Cheng turned his eyes to the table again.

"Why did you bring gifts? Come directly here from now on and don't bring gifts."

Mian City Road.

"Brother, please open it and take a look."

Master Shen Xing smiled slightly.

Mian Cheng suspiciously reached out and opened the red bag, revealing a long box inside.

"Polygonum multiflorum, the vintage is very good."

Mian Cheng took off the lid of the box, and inside was a nearly human-shaped medicinal plant.

"It's a century-old Polygonum multiflorum. My sister-in-law is not in good health, so she just needs it to replenish her health. Brother, please don't refuse. This medicinal material is hard to come by."

Shen Xingshi Dao.

"How did you get here?"

Mian Cheng asked directly.

If it were anyone else, he would definitely not ask more questions, but Master Shen Xing was different. This was his brother, a life-and-death friendship.

"Commander Zi brought this from the north. It was just a coincidence. I mentioned my sister-in-law when I talked to her, and she gave it to me as a gift." Shen Xingshi didn't hide it.

"Okay, we are brothers, so I won't say much to say thank you."

Mian Cheng reached out and patted Shen Xingshi on the shoulder.

It was a life-long friendship, so there was no need to say unnecessary words. He just needed to keep it in mind and return it when he had the opportunity in the future.
