By the White River.

It's getting dark.

Fortunately, they finally caught Zhao Zhi's "tail", and the brothers were very excited.

Zhuang Jin lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Xian, what do you think we should do next?"

Cui Xian glanced at the sky and said, "It's too late today. Let's go back first and don't let our families worry."

Everyone nodded.

When I walked back, I found that there was still no movement from Pei Jian.

Cui Xian thought for a moment and said, "Brother, you are going to the government office, so it will be more difficult for you to get information. Let's meet in the school tomorrow and discuss it."

So everyone said goodbye by the river.

The other side.

Pei Jian, who hadn't had time to send a message back, actually found something useful!

Pei Jian knew the grandson of Ma Dianli, the county magistrate.

He secretly stayed in the yamen for a long time and saw Zhao Zhi leave with his own eyes.

Then he ordered the grandson of Ma Dianli to "accidentally enter" Zhao Zhi's county magistrate's office under the pretext of looking for his grandfather.

The original intention was to try my luck.

What a result.

The little grandson of Ma Dianli went in and took a look around.

After coming out, he took out a stack of documents from his arms and handed them to Pei Jian, saying in a flattering tone: "Brother Pei Jian, do you think this is okay?"

Pei Jian glanced over casually and his face suddenly tensed.

I even watched it several times in disbelief.

Because this pile of documents concerns the registration contents of "lost households", "cancelled households" and "missing households" in many villages.

Although Pei Jian was uneducated, he was knowledgeable and extremely quick-witted.

His intuition told him that this thing would definitely be of great use!

He quickly stuffed the stack of documents into his arms.

Pei Jian thought about it, and finally couldn't help asking: "How did you find these things?"

Ma Dianli's grandson said in a daze, "There is a secret compartment under the desk in Zhao County Magistrate's office. I found it when I went in to play hide-and-seek."

"My grandfather made several secret compartments like this. I knew how to open them at a glance."

"But I didn't dare take the gold, silver, jewelry, banknotes and the like inside. I only took these useless pieces of paper."

Pei Jian: “…”

What a talented person.

He stared at the little grandson of Ma Dianli, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, the grandson of Ma Dianli's family became a little anxious: "I really don't dare to take those valuables! Brother Pei Jian, please..."

The thing is already in hand, Pei Jian is too lazy to talk nonsense.

He took out a Mahora from his bosom and handed it to the other party, saying impatiently: "Alright, although what you brought is not very good, I will give you one reluctantly."

"But you know the rules. If you dare to go out and say something nonsense, I can beat you up five times in three days."

The grandson of Ma Dianli excitedly put away the Mohou Luo and shrank his neck: "Brother Pei Jian, don't worry, I will definitely not tell!"

He went to County Magistrate Zhao's office to steal things, how could he dare to tell anyone?

And watched the foolish grandson of Ma Dianli leave.

Pei Jian glanced at the sky and went to the back door of the county government office.

This place is very close to the servants' side rooms.

He just passed by.

A young little boy came over timidly and called out "Brother Pei Jian".

Pei Jian responded and asked, "Did anyone find out?"

I have to say that Young Master Pei is truly born to accomplish great things.

Know that the troops are divided into two groups.

He carefully handed over the matter of "entering the county magistrate's office" to the little grandson of Ma Dianli.

Cui Xian asked him to help find "Dachuan", and he found this young boy to do it.

Because the father of the little boy in front of him was an official in the yamen.

What a coincidence.

The little boy’s father is actually Lin, the son-in-law of Old Man Cui.

Hearing Pei Jian's words.

The young boy whispered, "Brother Pei Jian, I know the person you are looking for. He is the county magistrate."

What?

Pei Jian was stunned for a moment, then he took out the portrait Cui Xian gave him from his arms and asked suspiciously, "Are you sure? Take another look, don't make a mistake."

County Magistrate Ye Huaifeng was newly appointed, so Pei Jian had never met him before.

The young boy looked at the portrait carefully again.

Then he said confidently: "He is the county magistrate! Today I saw him come to my father with my own eyes, and my father called him the county magistrate."

"The county magistrate told my father to keep his mouth shut. If Cui Xian's family came to ask my father about his identity, he should not say anything."

"Oh yes, he also specifically told my dad to help take care of Cui Xian's family."

ah?

How did Brother Xian get involved with the county magistrate?

Pei Jian was very surprised.

He gave the young boy a Mahora as usual, and the boy's face flushed with joy and he ran away happily.

In the county government office.

County Magistrate Ye Huaifeng, who had specially found an opportunity to explain to the officer Lin and asked him to keep his mouth shut, was feeling lucky.

His vest covered it again hehe!

A little later.

After having a good meal and enjoying the perfect service at the tea merchant's house, County Magistrate Zhao returned home leisurely.

As soon as I got back, I saw my little grandson smashing things again.

Zhao Zhi quickly stepped forward and said, "Hey, who made my good grandson angry again?"

Zhao Yaozu said angrily, "It's still Cui Xian! I heard that he has been very popular in the Pei clan school recently."

"That Master Wu praises him as a genius every day! It makes me so angry!"

"Grandfather, didn't you say that we could deal with him soon?"

When this matter was mentioned, Zhao Zhi's face turned cold.

A few days ago, he wanted to use Cui Xian as a stepping stone to make his grandson famous.
