Chapter 651: Breaking Through (Reward for the book friend "Jinyiwei: Rongrong")
County Magistrate Tang breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the lotus pond calmly.
Those people were sensible. Although they picked lotus pods, they didn't mess up the lotus pond. Otherwise, it would be obvious that the lotus pond had been destroyed...
County Magistrate Tang's face darkened a little, and he hurried to chase after Mr. Bai.
The yamen runner following County Magistrate Tang did not have the IQ of their masters, but unlike County Magistrate Tang, this man had just brought the servants of Mr. Bai's family to see the house two days ago. He remembered that there were many lotus pods in the lotus pond at that time.
But now...
He looked back again and again, and it seemed to him that there were fewer lotus pods in the lotus pond now...
Mr. Bai walked to a messy place. He frowned slightly and pointed at the plots of land and asked, "Is that where the thieves grew vegetables?"
"good."
Mr. Bai looked around, confirmed the location of the plots of land, and shook his head slightly. "What a waste of natural resources! I'm afraid any single plant that was originally planted there would be worth more than these vegetables, right?"
County Magistrate Tang said with a smile, "It's normal for a country folk not to know the value of something."
Mr. Bai sighed for a while, walked around a few trees and walked out. He looked at the height of the backyard wall and nodded slightly. "This height is okay. Has the collapsed wall been blocked?"
"It's blocked. If you're still worried, you can have someone break it down and rebuild it." County Magistrate Tang led him to see the wall next to the Xiao family's.
Mr. Bai reached out and pressed it, and was barely satisfied, but since he had decided to live there for a long time, he decided to tear it down and rebuild it.
"I heard that besides this wall, there is another big hole?"
County Magistrate Tang then smiled and took him to see the hole that had been blocked, saying, "Outside this hole is a wide alley. I have had people pave it up with bricks and stones."
Mr. Bai nodded slightly, looked at the garden again, turned back to County Magistrate Tang and said with a smile, "Let's go look somewhere else."
County Magistrate Tang pointed to another road and said, "Why don't we go through here and then go forward from the back?"
Mr. Bai didn't want to go to places he had already visited, so he nodded in agreement.
County Magistrate Tang breathed a sigh of relief and followed with a smile.
In the afternoon, County Magistrate Tang finished dealing with the official documents on hand, then stood up and said, "Prepare the car, let's go to Kangxue Street."
The yamen runner who was waiting outside the door ran out to inform them, then ran back and asked attentively, "Sir, are you going to the government school?"
"Why should I go to the prefectural school?"
"Hehehe, I thought you were going to the mansion to learn about the case of Chunfeng Tower."
"A few students were just fighting in Chunfeng Tower. What's there to ask about?" County Magistrate Tang changed into his casual clothes, took out his folding fan, and snapped it open. As he fanned himself, he said, "I'm going to catch these three thieves."
"What little thief needs your personal help? Just tell me and I'll catch him for you."
County Magistrate Tang patted him on the head with his fan and said, "If you don't know how to flatter, then don't flatter. Why catch someone? I can catch them myself."
County Magistrate Tang's carriage was already waiting outside. He looked up at the position of the sun in the sky, then got on and said, "Let's go to Mr. Zhuang on Kangxue Street. The prefectural school has finished classes by now, so the thieves should be here."
The carriage started moving, but County Magistrate Tang found nothing there. Curious, he asked the cook who opened the door, "I understand Mr. Zhuang is giving lectures at Dazhi Academy, but why doesn't your young master go home after school?"
The cook said, "The young master and his friends are studying at the prefectural school, so they come back late these days."
No way.
County Magistrate Tang didn't believe that they could go to school every day and come back late to steal lotus pods from next door. If they said they didn't steal them...
County Magistrate Tang frowned and shook his head. It was impossible that they had not stolen it. If not, he would have chewed the lotus pod into pieces and eaten it.
County Magistrate Tang turned around and got on the carriage, saying, "Let's go to the prefectural school."
County Magistrate Tang did not have a wooden sign for the provincial school, but it was not difficult for him to get in.
At this time, the school had already ended, and there were fewer students in the school. Most of the students who lived outside had already left. Even if they didn't go home, they would go out to play.
Only a few students remained in school, either playing, studying, or reading in the library.
Magistrate Tang turned around and found Class A3 based on his memory. Seeing three students still sitting inside, he knocked on the door and asked, "Do you know where Bai Shan is?"
The three people who were immersed in their studies looked up at County Magistrate Tang. They found that they didn't recognize him, but his face looked very kind, so they asked, "He went to the library, right?"
County Magistrate Tang thanked him and turned to walk towards the library.
He met many students along the way. Looking at them reminded County Magistrate Tang of his own student days. He sighed and suddenly was no longer in a hurry to find Bai Shan.
He simply walked around leisurely, fanning himself, and of course, his direction was still towards the library.
It's been a while since he was a student. When he was studying, he wanted to become an official and go out to explore the world. But now...
County Magistrate Tang sighed. He missed his student life very much. Even the things he did when he was tricked by Yang Heshu had become some beautiful memories.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a noise, including several familiar voices. County Magistrate Tang couldn't help but stop and turn around to follow the sound.
After he turned a few trees, he saw Bai Shan. County Magistrate Tang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This was really fate. He was just looking for him.
Just as he was about to step forward, Bai Shanbao asked unkindly, "Are you going to let him go or not?"
County Magistrate Tang paused and couldn't help but look carefully. He found that they were standing in two groups and the atmosphere was a bit tense. He couldn't see the faces of the people with their backs to him, and he didn't know whether he knew them or not.
But those who stand on Bai Shanbao's side...
County Magistrate Tang blinked, and after making sure his eyes were clear, he calmed down. He simply didn't rush forward.
The person standing in front of Bai Shan said, "No!"
Bai Shan's eyes turned slightly cold. He took two steps back and raised his chin to ask, "Are we going to fight?"
County Magistrate Tang was startled by his defiant look, and the person opposite was obviously also frightened by Bai Shan. The main reason was that this was too unconventional. Shouldn't you fight back and argue with me now?
Just as the thought flashed through his mind, Bai Shan had already thrown a punch, swinging it towards his face...
Wei Chen only had time to scream, "No..."
Although Bai Shan was shorter, he still punched the other man in the face. He staggered two steps, and angrily, he waved his hands and said, "Brothers, give it to me...Ah!"
Manbao didn't even wait for him to finish and kicked him on the calf, causing his legs to go weak and he almost fell. No, he really fell, because he tilted his body and Bai Shan pushed him in the chest, causing him to fall on his back.
The two of them cooperated very well. The series of actions took only a few breaths. Not only the students, but even the knowledgeable County Magistrate Tang could not help but be surprised.
Then he couldn't help but smile with his eyes curved.
Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, and I also wish the motherland reunification and early reunification.
The next update will be around 11pm
