Chapter 129
"Who do you think this waist tag belongs to?" Magistrate Cao himself knew that such a thing could not possibly belong to Liu Mazi.
However, this thing doesn't belong to the Li family.
install......
It seems there isn't a high-ranking official with the surname An that he knows of.
"Are there any prominent families with the surname An in the capital?" Magistrate Cao asked his advisor, puzzled.
“Sir, there are no high-ranking officials with the surname An in the capital, but…” The clerk hesitated, glancing at the official before him with some hesitation.
He had just heard the guard say that Liu Mazi was the younger brother of the county magistrate's favorite concubine.
The magistrate's words just now clearly indicated that he wanted to save people.
Otherwise, they would have been tortured long ago.
"But what? Hurry up and say it. What kind of behavior is this, being so hesitant?" Magistrate Cao said impatiently.
After all, Liu Mazi had made a big mess. The Li family was not one he could easily offend before, and now that Li Tianyou had become a third-rank official, he couldn't afford to offend him even more.
But ironically, his beloved concubine still wanted him to save people.
That's practically making things difficult for him.
"Master, do you know Prince An?" the advisor asked in a low voice.
"Who did you say?" As soon as the advisor finished speaking, Magistrate Cao recalled the image of that cold, unapproachable man, which was quite frightening.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the waist token of the Prince An's mansion. Master, do you think this Miss Li might be related to the Prince An's mansion?" the clerk cautiously speculated.
After all, news from the capital wouldn't reach Li'an County. Magistrate Cao hadn't even heard that Li Zhiwei hadn't married into the Ru'an Marquis's household but had instead been betrothed to the Prince of An.
At this moment, he felt that this matter could not possibly be such a coincidence. After all, he had accompanied Marquis Ru'an throughout the entire process when he came to Li'an County to propose marriage.
Logically speaking, Li Zhiwei should have been trapped in the capital for the rest of her life.
But when she returned, she even had the waist token of the Prince An's mansion with her?
"Master, the Prince of An seems to be named Xu Heming. Miss Li just mentioned him, but his waist tag says 'Qing Shi'." The clerk said, glancing at the wealthy young master beside him.
The Prince An's mansion has a young master, who might just be the one standing before us.
However, the advisor dared not say those words again.
After all, he was just a minor advisor.
"Hey, are you still going to investigate? You can't even handle such a small matter. Tell me, what's the point of the court keeping you around?" Xu Qingshi said impatiently, watching the two of them whispering to each other.
In his view, it was the bad guys who kidnapped them.
I don't know what kind of official this is, why hasn't he made a judgment yet, what is he hesitating about?
"How dare you!" Magistrate Cao was about to say "How dare you!" when his advisor grabbed him tightly.
"This petty thief dared to kidnap me, the young master! If you don't execute him today, I'll strip you of your official hat!" Xu Qingshi impatiently ordered the guards to retrieve his waist token.
He then said it very bluntly.
Yao Shuheng, standing to the side, felt his heart pounding. This kid...
The guard walked directly up to Magistrate Cao, snatched back Xu Qingshi's waist token, then took out his own waist token and handed it to Magistrate Cao, saying coldly, "Since you don't recognize my young master's waist token, you should at least recognize this one, right?"
The guard pulled out the waist tag of a royal secret guard.
