Li Tiedan was curious and excited, and did not notice Xiaoyu's subtle changes. He asked again: "Is there any other information besides this name? By the way, this letter has not yet reached my official's hands. Why do you already know it?"

Xiaoyu was very familiar with Wang Guer's message, but she couldn't say it, but she just said lightly: "My son is afraid that the adults will worry, so the night before yesterday, I asked the receipt to read it while the policeman was asleep."

"I see!"

"Why, sir, look down on us despicable means?"

"No." Li Tiedan was suddenly asked, and was a little helpless. "I was just thinking about how the Governor General, why did he get a receipt so soon?"

"That's of course. For your letter to be delivered to the Governor as soon as possible, my son stood in the night wind for two full hours. Don't forget his heart."

After saying that, Xiaoyu walked out with his sword in his hand. Li Tiedan hurriedly asked, "Aunt Xiaoyu, where are you going?"

"I also want to go and my son to secretly escort the man to Beiliu County."

For some reason, at this moment, Ying Gu's bright and clear eyes suddenly appeared in Li Tiedan's mind, and an idea couldn't help but appear in her heart: Such a bandit must be no bad person.

After Xiaoyu left, he walked into the house with this thought. As usual, Mr. Chai was still sorting out files and classics from previous years and filing the county's land deeds and house deeds.

Since Li Tiedan set up a big pot and distributed porridge in the name of the government three days ago, the fleeing people seemed to have felt the sincerity of his magistrate, and have returned one after another.

However, some unexpected problems arise, such as the ownership of the house of a deceased relative, the distribution of harvests of farming, the identification of the gifted fields, etc.

This is also the reason why Master Chai sorted out these things. When he saw Li Tiedan coming in, he quickly raised his head. His already thin cheeks became more paper-like in the past few days due to excessive fatigue.

"Sir, I spent three days finally sorting it out. Do you think you will coordinate yourself or let County Chief Zhang go?"

Li Tiedan sat on the stool and thought, "Mr. Zhang is more familiar with the people and affairs of the county than me. Let him go. Just keep it here."

A trace of worry flashed in Master Chai's eyes, "Sir, who is this county magistrate Zhang? I think you already have a clear mind. Are you not afraid that he will interfere with it?"

Li Tiedan sat down and took a sip of tea, "Now the bandits on the mountain have not been removed, the problems in the county have already emerged. At this time, I hope he will make some mistakes, so that I can bring him to justice in a legitimate way."

"Sir, he won't act rashly lately?"

"yes."

"How do you know, sir?"

"Because someone has already helped him move."

When Master Chai heard this, he looked happy and placed the paper in his hand on the table. "It seems that he must have gained something when visiting Zhao Dafu this time."

"That's right!" Li Tiedan said excitedly: "I only realized today that behind this County Magistrate Zhang, there is an inconspicuous person who has been helping him with many things."

"Oh, who is this person?"

"It's not someone else, it's the Master Mo you mentioned last time."

"Is it him?"

Mr. Chai was shocked. When he was sorting out the files last time, he accidentally discovered that Mr. Mo wanted to bribe the teacher three years ago and cheated in the imperial examination. He never thought that he was noticed by the presiding county magistrate Wu Daoyi and sentenced him to one year in prison.

It is precisely because of this that Li Tiedan asked about this person's name today.

"Is he just a child who failed many tests? He actually has this ability?"

Li Tiedan said calmly: "I didn't believe it at first, but after Zhao Dafu said that, I realized that Mr. Mo was actually the first Mr. Zhang's general, and he paid for the expenses of Zhang's general in the prefecture."

"Oh, it turns out that this is the case."

A light of inspiration flashed in Li Tiedan's eyes, "Sir Chai, tell me, what kind of relationship will make Master Mo treat this county magistrate Zhang like his own son?"

When Master Chai was said this, he suddenly thought of his relationship with Li Tiedan. If he needed it, he would treat Li Tiedan like this. However, County Magistrate Zhang's father was poor and stupid, and it was impossible for him to have a loyal slave of the level of Master Mo.

Thinking of this, he hesitated for a while and said, "With the opinion of the Lord, what is the relationship between these two people?"

Li Tiedan said quietly: "Maybe County Chief Zhang and this Shao Shi have reached a contract that cannot be violated and refused to judge in some way. It is this contract that makes these two people like father and son, one inside, one outside, one outside, the other in the open and the other in the dark, and jointly dominate the fate of Beiliu County. Or in recent years, the County Chief Zhang has been a puppet of this Shao Shi."

Master Chai said in surprise: "This—, this is unlikely? County Magistrate Zhang is also a court official, so how could he be controlled by a big family?"

Li Tiedan was startled by a thought that suddenly popped up in his mind, but he finally said it, "I have been thinking about this problem on the way back."

"If you want to say that it is possible, there is only one possibility. When this county magistrate Zhang was lured by Shao Shi when he was young, he had done something shameful, such as killing people."

"This-." Mr. Chai was startled, "Sir, you must not say such things randomly. Mr. Mo has done some things that violate national laws, but they are all things that have not confused the principles and ethics."

"Although this county magistrate Zhang is not willing to cooperate, I have observed it for the past few days and he still has Beiliu County in his mind. Don't ruin the relationship between colleagues because of these suspicions."

Li Tiedan knew that Master Chai would not believe it, so he continued to ask: "Master Chai, then tell me, why did County Magistrate Zhang inquire about my next action intentionally or unintentionally these days?"

"In just a few days, why did the rumors that hurt you and me in the county, as well as the entire Beiliu County Government, grow like bamboo shoots after a rain?"

Mr. Chai has never liked to care about these rumors, but one thing he was a little scared when he heard it, that was that Li Tiedan caught Huang Tianci for his big house and family business.

Because this rumor happened to be what he was thinking, using Huang Tianci's family business and the house to help Li Tiedan settle down as the magistrate, the people in the north would also strive for security.

When he was asked this, he thought that Li Tiedan had discovered something and wanted to take the opportunity to test him. He hurriedly said, "Sir, as the saying goes, rumors stop at wise men. You shouldn't think about random things because of these rumors."

"Master Chai, it's not that I'm just thinking about it. There is one thing you may not know yet."

"What's up?"

"The reason why the big families in the county collectively think about moving out of the county town today is that Mr. Mo is provoking and mobilizing it."

"Ah?" Mr. Chai was shocked again, "Sir, are you saying that he mobilized everyone to move out of Beiliu County?"

"That's right! But the day before yesterday, County Magistrate Zhang said that these big families moved out because they were worried that the bandits would attack. If he had not had a contractual relationship with Shao Shi Mo, why should he protect him so much?"
