"Every gem on this whip is worth ten thousand gold. You only gave her a thousand taels, yet you still dare to say that there's no blackmail!" Yan Wuzhan's heart ached. For a thousand liang, he had used this priceless whip to exchange for money …
"Wuu …" "This little one knows my wrongs, I know my wrongs. If you like this old man whip, take it and use it as a present for this old man …"
"Humph!"
Yan Wuzhan walked towards the county magistrate with a dark expression. He had heard that the new magistrate was appointed by Ning'er. Li Du really knew how to behave …
He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Li Du being a high ranking official who listened to a poor person's words. Even though it didn't make sense, it was still a good thing to listen to a woman's words.
The people in the pawnshop saw him leave and immediately went to close the door, their entire bodies still trembling. The Dongfang Nation was peaceful now in the four seas, and it was not as if there were no criminals in the world, but basically no one could be so arrogant as to actually dare to snatch it in broad daylight …
"Someone, hurry and report this to the official. What if that girl comes back to redeem her whip? That girl doesn't look like the child of a poor family …"
Yan Wuzhan was on the verge of tears. The world was huge, and he was the only one who could find her horsewhip.
"Squeak, squeak!"
"Are you hungry again? "I don't know where Ning'er is, but if you can't find her, you're not allowed to eat her!"
"Squeak squeak squeak squeak!"
Xiao Hong was anxious. Ever since it lost its spiritual energy, it had become very ordinary. Following this man, it was hungry to death every day. After hearing Xiao Hong's words, it cried out incessantly, "I want to eat if you don't want! I'm starving, it's great that I haven't eaten in a few days!"
Yan Wuzhan felt helpless and pulled his horse listlessly towards the county magistrate's office.
The new County Magistrate was very busy, mainly because it was too much of a waste of time to deal with the mess left behind by Li Yao. Furthermore, people were constantly coming to collect medicine.
He directly entered the county magistrate's office. "Who is it? Tell your county magistrate to come and see me!"
"Lord Wang is inside. Do you have any business with him? He's very busy. He told me not to disturb him unless it's urgent. Even the new madam is blocked outside. If there's nothing else, then leave."
"Hmm?"
Yan Wuzhan swept the room with his cold eyes. The young bailiff was so scared that he slipped away like a wisp of smoke. Not long later, Wang Chengwen came out.
"This young master, I wonder what business do you have with this official?"
Yan Wuzhan took out a token. Wang Chengwen was so shocked that he quickly kneeled down, "Greetings ~"
"Alright, don't leak any information. Let's talk inside!"
"Yes ~"
Wang Chengwen led the way into the inner court with a tremble and immediately knelt on the ground, "This humble subject pays his respects to Your Majesty. Long live and long live the Emperor ~"
"Get up and find some food. I'm hungry. Do you know where the house of the woman who cured the plague lives?"
"This humble subject does not know. This humble subject will ask the kitchen to cook first. Wait for the emperor!"
When had Wang Chengwen ever seen the emperor? At this moment, he was so scared that he scrambled out of the room. Was he dreaming?! Good luck every day! Why would the emperor come to such a small county like his?
After settling the matters in the kitchen, he took a few deep breaths, tidied up his official uniform, and entered the inner hall.
"No need to be so polite, sit and talk."
"Your majesty, that young lady suddenly came. This humble subject doesn't know where she came from, nor do I dare to ask. I've been too busy these past few days and haven't had the time to look for her. She helped this subject get married …"
"Alright, let's not talk about this. Yesterday, she took out some things to pawn. If you want to find her, do you have a way?"
Yan Wuzhan didn't care about anything else, he just wanted to know how to quickly find his woman.
"Pawnshop?"
After Wang Chengwen saw that the emperor was not as unreasonable as the rumors said, his mind became normal. After thinking for a while, he said:
"Could it be that she wants to go far, or else if she doesn't have money, why would she delay her going to be treated as an object? That would mean that she wants to go far away, and when a woman goes far away, it's always about renting a carriage. I will immediately send someone to check the carriage shop to see if there is any news of this lady renting a carriage."
"This is also a way. We need to finish this as soon as possible. I'll go take a look at the Perching Phoenix Mountain first. When we return, you must tell me about the results!"
"Yes, this humble subject will immediately go and do it. Your Majesty, please wait a moment, the food is almost ready!"
Yan Wuzhan, who originally stood up, helplessly sat down. Xiao Hong stuck out its head from his chest. Its body was already starting to grow red fur, but it still looked ugly.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak ~"
"What are you squeaking for, why is my life so bitter!"
"Zhizhi!"
"..."
Wang Chengwen wasn't bad at his job either. He sent everyone out to ask the people in the car rental agency, but no woman came to rent a car in the past three days. Which direction did she go?
Therefore, he came back after Yan Wuzhan finished his meal.
"Your Majesty, please look!"
He bent forward and handed over the book that still had the scent of ink on it.
This town was very small, and there weren't many people who would rent a car at this time of day. However, there were two women who rented a car and went to a place called Wyvern Town.
"Wind Perching Mountain, Wyvern Town?"
Yan Wuzhan pondered for a moment. Wyvern Town, Hui Long Town?
He knew her at the Hui Long Town, and now, was she at the Wind Perching Town or at the Hui Long Town …
He had already decided that Dongfang Ning would go to Wyvern Town, but he was worried that she wouldn't go because there were two people who rented the car …
"Well done, not bad!"
Yan Wuzhan finally closed the booklet in his hand. It even clearly stated where the Flying Dragon Town was. He wanted to go to the Phoenix Mountain first, so no one would turn towards the Flying Dragon Town.
"I've bestowed this jade pendant to you. In the future, you can help me investigate this corrupt official from Jiangnan and bestow upon him the fourth rank!"
"Thank you for your grace, my lord ~"
Wang Chengwen had to admit that he was lucky. After encountering two people in a row, each of them gave him a promotion to a level 3 official. This was great.
After Yan Wuzhan said that, he left while Wang Chengwen was still standing blankly on the spot. This really wasn't a dream!
"Alright, you jinx, use all of the delicious food in your house to entertain a beggar that you don't know where you're going to get your hands on. Let me tell you this, if you still don't hurry up and release the old master then I'll have no end of it. How long are you going to keep him for …"
"Shut up!" Not only can he not release the Prince, but he will also execute him immediately. Tomorrow at noon, at the entrance of the vegetable market, we will behead all the citizens to show our anger! "
How could the current him be afraid of this woman? Ever since he got married, she had come over every day to clamor for him to release Li Yao. Although Li Yao was his father-in-law, he had violated the law and would never allow himself to do so.
"What did you say?" "You …"
"Men, immediately post a notice that shows that Li Yao has committed many evil deeds. Tomorrow, he will behead everyone at Caishikou. All his accomplices will be captured and anyone who dares to interfere will be punished as if they were his accomplices!"
"Yes ~"
"Wuu …" You damnable debt collector, how could my Li family treat you badly? If you want to do this sort of thing, where is the logic in this world?! Just you wait, I want to look for the City Lord, I want to seek justice! "
