In fact, Xu Chuan was just preparing himself to be strong enough to take down Qiu Leng's "three points" by himself.
The thoughts in his heart turned sharply, and he had already figured out how to direct the clues to Qiu Leng in an instant. He took a deep breath and said, "Assist the priesthood to eradicate the villains, it is what the lower officials should do, please come with me. "
He turned to leave, Jiang Rong and the girl in red only knew that there were clues, and immediately followed.
Xu Chuan walked in front, squinting at the two of them, "Jiang Rong, favorability 1. Ning Hongliang, favorability 50."
Xu Chuan didn't change his expression, and withdrew his gaze.
From the moment we first met, Jiang Rong has shown a carefree image, and he has no pretence at all, and he is also very enthusiastic towards Xu Chuan.
On the other hand, Ning Hongliang had a cold face and spoke very coldly.
But the result is...
Jiang Rong's favorability rating for him is 1, but Ning Hongliang's is 50.
Knowing the face but not the heart.
Xu Chuan sighed again in his heart, how many young people were fooled by this old guy's seemingly enthusiastic smile?
However, the first favorability degree is also a little favorability, and Xu Chuan didn't think much about it.But I don't know, this favorability point is not really favorability, it's just pity for him "practising qigong randomly".
In fact, this is normal. Jiang Rong is a congenital master and a priest of the priesthood. He Xu Chuan is not a beautiful woman. Why does Jiang Rong have a good impression of him?
As for Ning Hongliang... This Xu county magistrate has a good reputation and looks good, so he can't help but have a good impression. From ancient times to the present, both men and women look at their faces, and no matter how strong they are, it is inevitable.
Xu Chuan took them all the way to the county jail.
"I have seen adults." The officers and soldiers in the prison saluted one after another.
"Bring the nine axe remnants here." Xu Chuan ordered.
At the beginning of the sentence, the nine axe leftovers were asked to cut in the spring, and now it is only the twelfth month, and it is not yet time.
Soon, the remaining seven of the nine axes were brought.
"Xu County magistrate, who are they?" Jiang Rong and Ning Hongliang both looked puzzled.
"They are mountain bandits in the surrounding area. They colluded with Qiuyinbao officials and bandits to harm the people. They were held here to be executed by this official." Xu Chuan explained, and then looked at the nine-axe remnants, and said coldly: "This official Now I'll give you a chance to reduce your sentence, as long as you answer a few questions from this official truthfully, but the chance is only given to one person, and it depends on who of you can grasp it."
"Yes Yes!"
"My lord asked me."
"Ask me, ask me, I know how many concubines Qiu Yinbao has and how many are good friends."
……
The seven people scrambled for each other, completely forgetting the brotherhood of looting together, drinking and eating meat together and worshiping the handle.Jiang Rong and Ning Hongliang both showed contempt.
Xu Chuan said coldly: "This official asks you, what evil things have Qiu Yinbao done?"
"I know, I know, killing people and cheating good families, he does everything, oh, and kidnapping and selling children and babies, damn it..." A quick-talking man said immediately.
This first question, Xu Chuan, was just a random question. The most important question he was going to ask was who Qiu Jian School was in the city closest to, so as to lead out Qian Yuan. .
As a result, Xu Chuan was stunned for the first question, and then asked, "Abducting and selling children and babies?"
He, the county magistrate, has not received a report about the disappearance of the child?
"Yes, adults do not know, Qiu Yinbao does not kidnap the children in our county, but only ordered us to find someone to kidnap the children in the neighboring county and the village."
……
"Oh, cheating and cheating, all evils, what can you ask, Master Xu, don't ask." Jiang Rong laughed.
Ning Hongliang heard the evil deeds of these thieves, and there were murderous auras in his eyes. Xu Chuan felt it, and he thought that this girl was jealous of evil.
Xu Chuan ignored Jiang Rong, and then asked, "Do you know where Qiu Yinbao sold the kidnapped children?"
"Sell?" The Nine Axe members shook their heads: "Never sell it, but send it to a village in the county seat."
Xu Chuan raised his brows and keenly caught something.about to ask...
"Jiang Rong's favorability rating is -31. The existing favorability rating is minus 30."
Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Rong.
No, I just ignored him, and he felt good enough to drop 30?
"What we want to investigate has nothing to do with these, Hongliang, the smell of this place is too great, let's go out and breathe." Jiang Rong said.
Ning Hongliang was noncommittal.
However, Xu Chuan continued to ask, "Do you know where Zhuangzi is in the county seat, and why does he own it?"
Jiang Rong frowned.
"Jiang Rong's favorability score is -20, and the existing favorability score is minus 50."
Xu Chuan was puzzled. He asked others, why did Jiang Rong's favorability for him keep dropping?Turning his head to look, Jiang Rong was still holding a jug and drinking wine.
"This... the villain has never been there, I don't know." The Nine Axe members said helplessly.
"Don't know?" Xu Chuan stared.
Jiang Rong swallowed a sip of wine intentionally or unintentionally and breathed a sigh of relief.
But don't wait for him to swallow the wine in his stomach.Only one of the seven Nine Axe members, the thinnest young man said: "I... I have been there, in the big alley to the north of Ancheng, where the owner, I heard Boss Qiu sometimes call Qian Lao, and sometimes call Uncle Qiu."
"Master Qiu?"
Ning Hongliang's pretty face was solemn, and there was a twinkle in his eyes.
Xu Chuan smiled in his heart and connected.
"Haha, Magistrate Xu, you are really smart, Uncle Chou? This dog thief is really here, hum, I'll see where he escapes this time, Magistrate Xu, thanks to you, don't worry, the old man will tell you the truth. Credit." Jiang Rong said excitedly, looking at Xu Chuan with a face that was slightly flushed from drinking, full of admiration.
Ning Hongliang looked at Xu Chuan, and a splendid gleam also flashed in his eyes. This county magistrate is indeed smart, and it is quite rare to take the initiative to say:
"It's not too late, county magistrate Xu, please take us to that village."
"Yes, yes." Jiang Rong nodded.
Xu Chuan smiled slightly, his mind was a little confused.First of all... a striking reminder was in front of him.
"Jiang Rong's favorability score is -50, and the existing favorability score is minus 100."
"Ning Hong's good opinion is +10, and the existing good opinion is 60."
……
"Old guy, what did I do, you lose 100 favorability? It's all hatred. It's okay to hate, but you still praise me, admire me, and give me credit? I bah." Xu Chuan said in his heart Abdominal slander.Something came to mind...
This old thing is very bad!
Besides…
At the same time, another option appeared in front of Xu Chuan: "Stop leading the way and let them find it by themselves. Air Luck +10. Ning Hong's Good Sensitivity -50."
"Second, order the officers and soldiers to lead the way and stay behind. Luck -200. Ning Hong's good feeling -20."
"Three, promise to lead the way, follow along, luck -90, Ning Hong's good sense +20."
Xu Chuan took a deep breath, wait, let him slow down, this is a complicated multiple-choice question.
Chapter 22 Watch Your Back
This multiple-choice question has two variables, one is the increase or decrease of luck, and the other is Ning Hong's good feeling.
Ordering officers and soldiers to lead the way, the air luck was reduced by [-], and the air luck was reduced the most, and when he promised to lead the way, Ning Hong's good feeling increased the most.
Obviously, this is a dangerous place to go. Ordinary officers and soldiers will die if they go, and what the girl on the opposite side wants to see is of course that she is willing to take orders, or even better because she invites her.
If it was a young talent next to him, he would have been boiling with enthusiasm and brains by now.
Xu Chuan quickly glanced at the three options, and then glanced at Jiang Rong, who was looking at him enthusiastically.
Choose one decisively.
"Cough, the two Shangguans are powerful and both are innate, and the lower officials are weak, so they won't go. As for the Zhuangzi, the two of them have a lot of understanding in Ancheng County recently, and they can definitely be found easily." Xu Chuan cupped his hands and said. .
Jiang Rong was taken aback.
Ning Hongliang was also taken aback.
Refused?She opened her mouth to invite, but she refused?
Jiang Rong said: "Xu County magistrate, we just need you to lead the way. With the strength of the two of us, we can naturally protect you. You lead the way, and it will be a great achievement when things are done."
Xu Chuan said politely: "The strength of the lower officials is low, and I dare not participate in the disposal of the priesthood department."
Jiang Rong has to persuade again...
Ning Hongliang has already said: "Since the magistrate Xu said so, then forget it. If you can find out where the thief is, the magistrate Xu has already assisted this division. Let's go."
The officials of the Xia Dynasty only stipulated that they needed to assist the Priesthood Division, but they did not say that they needed to work for the Priesthood Division.
"Miss Ning, be more careful." Xu Chuan replied.
But the two turned and walked away from the prison.Ning Hongliang didn't look at Xu Chuan from the beginning to the end.
Get out of jail.
"Hongliang, this county magistrate is interesting." Jiang Rong smiled, but a gloomy flash of gloom flashed in his eyes.
Ning Hongliang had a cold face: "Just an ordinary county magistrate, he has some scheming, but he is a little timid, so don't bother."
To be honest, Xu Chuan really disappointed her.
But officials? Most of them are like this. There are still few chivalrous warriors with passion and integrity in the world.
She still remembered that when she went out, the elders in the family reminded her that walking outside was different from the upper class of the state. In Dingzhou, who would dare not give Ning's ancestor a bit of face, but outside... in the world of the world, people are separated from each other, interests are divided, and insidious. There are many deceitful people.
She rarely felt that the magistrate Xu was quite knowledgeable, but she did not expect that she was wrong.
"You have more than enough knowledge, but you don't have enough courage to be a county magistrate. It's over." Ning Hongliang snorted softly.
Jiang Rong smiled and said nothing.
……
Xu Chuan looked at the backs of the two, and his luck was +10.
At the same time, a new prompt popped up in my mind: "One, follow secretly, and act according to chance. Luck +70."
"Two, ignore it. Luck -300."
Xu Chuan looked at it, and wanted to understand a lot in his heart. If he went openly, the danger was on the bright side. If he went in the dark, and there was a thunderbolt in front of him, he would be much safer.But judging from the improvement in luck, it is quite dangerous to come to this operation.
Just as he was thinking.
"My lord, my lord... You didn't mean to give us a chance to live." The member of the Nine Axes who said Zhuangzi was in continued.
Xu Chuan turned to look.
"Yes, just wait."
He stepped away.
live?
Do you still want to live?
The Nine Axe members laughed.
"Thank you sir!"
……
Ning Hongliang and Jiang Rong have indeed been very familiar with Ancheng County for more than half a month, and even the most prominent figures in Ancheng County, they have long been aware of it.
Found it in a moment.
In a teahouse outside Zhuangzi outside Qianyuan, Ning Hongliang and Jiang Rong sat opposite each other.
"This Qiu Leng, who goes by the pseudonym Qian Tongtian, has actually started a business, and the business is not small." Jiang Rong smiled while drinking, "I just looked carefully, this village is heavily guarded, and he recruits There were a lot of thugs, and we hit them head-on. It was easy for him to escape."
"Qiu Leng's temperament is ruthless. According to the previous experience of arresting the strong in the priesthood, he has to fight every time. As for those guards...not worth mentioning." Ning Hongliang shook his head.
"Then when do we start?" Jiang Rong asked.
"In the evening." Ning Hongliang said: "At that time, these guards will eat and change shifts."
"You're not saying these guards are not worth mentioning."
