Rumor Has It That I'm Pregnant with His Highness' Child Chapter 219

   Chapter 219 Sleek

  Liu County magistrate originally thought that one more thing would be better than one less thing, so just perfunctory.

  But things are different now. The case of abduction and trafficking of women is related to his future career.

  If he didn't do his best, he wouldn't be able to keep the black gauze hat on his head.

  Liu magistrate never dared to slack off.

   He dispatched all the people under his command, from the city to the outside of the city, to the surrounding villages, towns and official roads, all of which were strictly investigated one by one.

   The manpower behind was really not enough, so magistrate Liu simply rolled up his sleeves and went to the gate of the city in person, in charge of checking people entering and leaving the city.

   It is precisely because the magistrate Liu set an example that all the people under his command worked extra hard.

  Whether it's catching fast yamen officers or officials of high rank, they are all busy at the moment.

   At the gate of the city, Magistrate Liu stared at the passers-by with his eyes like copper bells.

  Every person who passed by him, no matter what status, had to be scanned by him from head to toe.

   Those eyes were as sharp as a knife, making people feel hairy.

  Especially when he saw a young woman, the magistrate Liu had to take out the portraits, compare them one by one, and only let them go after confirming that they were not the women in the portraits.

   When an old man led an ox cart through the city gate, the magistrate Liu suddenly stopped him.

"Wait a moment!"

  The old man had to stop and bowed towards the magistrate Liu.

   County magistrate Liu circled the ox cart and asked in a deep voice when he saw the sacks piled up on the cart.

   "What's in your sack?"

The old man hurriedly said: "It's just some rice grains. If you don't believe it, you can ask other officials, they have already checked it just now."

The clerk next to    nodded in agreement: "Yeah, we just opened a sack, which is really rice grain."

  Liu county magistrate felt that just checking one sack was not enough insurance.

  Who knows what's in the other sacks?

   He gave an order: "Open all the sacks and check them one by one!"

   The yamen officers immediately started to move the sacks.

  The old man hurriedly shouted: "This is really rice grain, why don't you believe me? I often come to the city to go to the market, and many people in the city know me, I can't lie to you!"

   However, no matter what he said, Magistrate Liu was unmoved, and it seemed that he was determined to check one by one.

   is related to your own future, so you can't be too cautious.

  The old man was very anxious.

   He gestured towards the nearby crowd, indicating that he needed help.

   The next moment, a carriage rushed towards the city gate from a distance.

   The coachman who was driving the carriage shouted loudly while tightening the reins.

   "This horse is frightened, get out of the way!"

  I saw the carriage rushing straight towards the city gate.

  The people who had gathered near the city gate scattered, and even the yamen who were just checking the ox cart were forced to retreat.

   At this time, people were panicking and the scene was chaotic.

   Everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, and no one noticed that the old man was walking out with the ox cart.

   Only the magistrate of Liu County noticed the whereabouts of the ox cart.

   The alarm bell rang in his heart, and he ignored the danger of being hit by the carriage, so he strode towards the ox carriage, shouting while chasing it back.

   "Come and stop that bullock cart! If anyone can stop the bullock cart, this officer will reward him with one hundred taels of silver!"

   There must be a brave man under the heavy reward.

  The people who had wanted to hide far away heard that there were one hundred taels, but they were as if they had been beaten with blood.

   Even if the old man swung the whip vigorously to whip the ox, the ox cart could not go fast.

   Soon the bullock cart was surrounded by the people.

   County magistrate Liu followed up with the yamen.

   "Take him to this officer!"

   Seeing that the situation was not good, the old man took out the big knife hidden under the ox cart, jumped off the carriage, and rushed towards the direction with the fewest people.

   He looked quite old, but the movement of wielding the knife was very imposing, coupled with his ferocious expression, so frightened the people backed away that they didn't dare to have a hard **** with him.

   County magistrate Liu shouted hoarsely: "One hundred taels! One hundred taels to catch him!"

   In the end, it's still money and silk that moves people's hearts.

   Even if they knew there was danger, a few men who thought they were pretty good still stood up and tried to fight the old man.

  The yamen also pulled out the official way and fought with the old man.

   In the end, it was the old man whose fists were invincible with four hands. He was defeated and was tied into a zongzi on the spot.

   But the yamen did not fare well here, and two people were injured.

   County magistrate Liu asked the two yamen to treat the wounds, while the rest removed all the sacks from the ox cart, opened them one by one and checked them to see what was inside.

   The top sacks are indeed filled with rice grains.

   But the sacks below contained people.

   is a young girl.

   Their hands and feet were tied, their mouths were gagged, their eyes were closed, and they were motionless.

   Fortunately, there is still breath, and it seems that he is just in a coma.

   County magistrate Liu took out the portraits and compared them one by one, and he was sure on the spot that these girls were part of the group of lost women.

   He was overjoyed, now he has an explanation!

   "Bring them back quickly and ask the doctor to heal them."

   "Here!"

  People applauded when they saw with their own eyes that Magistrate Liu rushed to the front line regardless of the danger, and when they saw him rescue the girls who were abducted and trafficked.

   Someone else was shouting.

   "Master Liu is amazing!"

   "We hope that Songcheng can have parents and officials like Master Liu, it is really our blessing!"

   The magistrate Liu, who was about to go back to claim credit, stopped.

   He stared blankly at the people.

  From the time he was admitted to the jinshi and had the opportunity to become an official in the court, someone kept telling him that the most important thing in being an official was being tactful.

  Only smooth people can live long in the unpredictable officialdom.

  Liu magistrate believed that he had no talent for the world, and he had no lofty ambitions.

  Since he came to Wangsong City to take office, he has always adhered to the principle of tactful life, worked hard to establish a good relationship with the local squires and tyrants, and tried his best to win the favor of the superior officials.

   As for how the people viewed him, he did not care.

   Anyway, he will only stay here for three years. As long as he does not make any big mistakes within three years, he can be promoted to another place to continue to serve as an official after the three-year term expires.

   To him, the people of Wangsong City were nothing more than a passing glance, and they were insignificant.

   He doesn't care about the people, and the people naturally don't like him.

  When the people saw him on weekdays, they were more afraid than respectful.

   Occasionally, the people could be heard scolding him behind his back for sloppy handling of cases.

   But now, the people are praising him from the bottom of their hearts.

   Everyone looked at him, full of admiration and respect.

   As if until this moment, they really recognized Liu County Magistrate.

  Liu County Magistrate couldn't help but feel a little **** feeling in his heart.

   He seems to have returned to his youthful days, and together with his classmates, he scolded Fang Qiu and looked forward to the future. At that time, he made a wish that if he can become an official in the future, he must be a good official who can benefit one side!

   Ask for a ticket~
