Longdong County.

More than two months later, a yamen runner came to inform that the county magistrate Zhuo of Wencheng County was preparing to come and personally try the missing child.

The missing child was a wealthy family, with connections outside. After some inquiries, I learned that Lord Zhuo had recently taken advantage of the death of the governor and seized power. He tried his previous case well. All the wrong cases were changed and the wrong cases were also given compensation. Although not much, in the view of the wealthy family, the compensation was not worth mentioning, but it also made people from Longdong County confirm that the magistrate Zhuo was a good official.

After waiting for a while, the county magistrate's car arrived.

As soon as we entered the county in the middle of winter, a large number of people welcomed each other. This was specially promoted by wealthy families and found it for money. First, give this Lord Zhuo a great reputation. In this way, the county magistrate has to do his best to trial the case no matter what!

If you don’t find a result, this reputation will be ruined!

They were also forced to do so.

The child has been missing for so long. If you don’t look for it, you really can’t find it!

When Zhuo Jingning saw this, he felt a little difficult to get on the road. He came to Longdong County and just accompanied the little fox to find Grandma Jun.

As for those kids...

No matter how crazy a human teeth are, it is impossible for them to kidnap so many children at once. Most of them are ghosts and monsters!

Now I guess I can't even find the child's body.

Can you please fall into the hands of ghosts?

Not to mention, a few days ago, he deliberately made the best and let the girl know about it. This girl in her heart probably guessed that it was not done by human teeth. The purpose of her beating was probably to take the opportunity to get a share of the pie...

Or, frame the blame!

He plundered the blood of living people and then passed it on to the ghosts who had been in trouble before.

The possibility of the latter is far higher than the former.

After Zhuo Jingning asked the yamen runners in Longdong County, he further confirmed this speculation. Two months ago, about a dozen children in Longdong County disappeared, most of them from poor families. These children cannot raise them. If they are born, they will be discarded on the roadside or even drowned directly.

So when they disappeared one or two children, they didn't do much.

I feel sad, but I might even breathe a sigh of relief.

If you follow them, you might starve to death. But you were kidnapped by someone and gave them some room for imagination. If you become a maid and servant of a wealthy family, you will not starve to death.

As for the bad consequences, they don't want to think about them.

It is better to deceive yourself than to live in pain.

Besides, it is useless not to deceive yourself. Will the yamen take care of it? No.

That's all the reality.

Back to the topic, in recent days, there have been children missing in the county in the middle of winter. This time, most of them are children from wealthy families, or children who can grow white and fat.

That girl in my heart is not a kind heart, not to harm poor families, but... picky about food!

Most of the children of poor families have pale faces and thin skin, and they don’t have much flesh on their bodies. How could they be as delicious as those spoiled and wealthy children?

A strong body means strong qi and blood.

He has a pale face and a thin skin, and is undoubtedly weak.

This is not difficult to guess.

Zhuo Jingning pondered for a moment. If he caught the girl with heart, he wouldn't know what would happen to the old man?

The girl in my heart is not afraid, but the old man he is really afraid of is the old man.

The means are really terrifying.

He didn't even have the qualification to resist.

He thought about what the old man said before leaving, and was a little uncertain. He finally decided not to catch the girl and arrest the demon who had committed the incident before and came out to take the blame.

If he doesn't take power, it's fine. Of course, he has to settle the score later when he takes power.

So he wrote a letter in his hand and asked several nearby generals to come and help.

Zhuo Qingtian, the reputation of Wencheng County, was developed by him after finally raising it. He is now enjoying it and it is impossible to give up. A tree needs bark, and a person needs shame!

Zhuo Jingning suddenly remembered that there was a witch murderer, but this matter was unclear. He asked the yamen runners to ask, but these yamen runners were also confused. At this time, the patriarch of the tribe of the lunar winter sent someone to invite him to the banquet, saying that the banquet was ready and he wanted to welcome him.

Zhuo Jingning passed by.

This is a royal relative, so he still has to give him some face.

After all, it is not considered a "father-in-law"?

The little fox didn't follow him this time, because as soon as she arrived in Longdong County, she couldn't wait to find the fox ghost who called herself Grandma Jun.

It would be better to rely on Zhuo Jingning to find her.

Zhuo Jingning is looking for ghosts, who didn’t you ask her?

The tribe in the middle of winter was said to have suffered natural disasters and had to abandon its clan territory and ask the Qing emperor to reward a place for breeding and fertility. The Qing emperor may have given a great power style, or it may have been because of the great achievements inherited by the ancestors of the Qing emperors from generation to generation, and rewarded a county town!

Even though this county is not big, it is also a county town!

Not only the land, but also the people from Longdong County were also rewarded to the Longdong Tribe.

After entering the Longdong County, the patriarch of the Longdong tribe was very sensible and had always restrained his clan members. He even took the initiative to give himself a simple and easy-to-remember name - Qi Dong.

This is very appropriate, Qidong is in the middle of winter...

Considering that Zhuo Jingning is not used to beef and mutton, the food for entertaining Zhuo Jingning is a very common wine and dish. Even because I don’t know whether Zhuo Jingning can eat spicy food, I didn’t even put the peppers in it, and the recipe was very light.

"Thank you, Master Guo." Zhuo Jingning was of course very polite to give him face.

"We are all my family, so you don't have to be so polite. Eat, eat whatever you want." Qi Dong said roughly. These words seemed to be polite, but when he said this, he patted Zhuo Jingning on the shoulder with his hand, which was intriguing.

Zhuo Jingning couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Oh, by the way, when Magistrate Zhuo left, don't forget to take two maids away. This is all my wish." At this time, Qi Dong continued, as if casual, and then he called Zhuo Jingning to drink and eat.

Zhuo Jingning nodded in surprise and doubt. When he was about to leave, he saw two maids. He didn't know one, and he recognized the other even if his face was black and his ugly makeup was put on!

But why is she here?

Zhuo Jingning led the maid back and didn't say anything along the way. He now lives in the county government office in the middle of the winter. He walked into the backyard of the county government office, and the two maids followed him in.

He entered the study, and one maid followed in, and the other maid smiled on her face, but closed the door and guarded outside the door.

Zhuo Jingning felt the petite body holding him from behind and the familiar fragrance. He trembled in his heart and asked softly, "Why are you here?"

"I was poisoned on the way back. The imperial doctor said I was dead. The ancestors showed their spirits to save me, so I just pretended to die." After she said that, she said again, "I miss you."

"You are so bold." Zhuo Jingning couldn't help but say.
