Bai Shier is free and comfortable. Although the busy days at night are not comfortable, it is also very enjoyable.

After all, in this hot and hot summer day, you can lie comfortably under the shade of trees, eat watermelons, and drink sour plum juice during the day. This life is more comfortable than most people in the city.

Even the wealthy families in the east of the city were not as comfortable as him most of the time.

Especially those ladies who have not yet got married but have already had their hair into the family, who are bound by various rules, must wear them neatly when going out, and must maintain a posture when sitting and lying down. How can they be like Bai Shier, wearing only a single dress and without any image on the recliner, and lying down as they are comfortable.

However, it seemed that Bai Shier was so angry that even God could not bear to see it. Not only did Bai Shier "enjoy" the feeling of walking under the scorching sun, but he also "enjoy" the feeling of being summoned to the county government and being questioned by the magistrate.

But if it comes down to the bottom of the matter, it seems that all this is entirely his own fault...

...

Since returning to the county government from Hongdu Prefecture, Huang Xiangfu, the magistrate of Nanxin County, has been constantly investigating the stampede that happened not long ago.

It was said that it was an investigation, but in fact it was to transfer the anger received from the prefect Chen Anwu to the yamen runners and the constables. Of course, the task of finding clues about the case was also strongly assigned to the yamen runners and the constables under him, just as Chen Anwu threw the whole thing directly on his head.

It has to be said that the efficiency of handling cases in the yamen on weekdays is too low. In many cases, it is not the officials in the yamen. The clerks are not capable enough, but because they are not under too much pressure.

Otherwise, they would not have been able to make up the context of the case under the powerful threat of Huang Xiangfu, Shangguan, and only took only one hour to make up the context of the case.

In this case, Bai Shier was summoned by the yamen runners. He could only follow the other party to the county government office to be questioned with the big sun above his head.

Fortunately, the yamen runners who were responsible for summoning him were reluctant to stay in the sun for too long, so the two of them walked very quickly along the way and "utilized" all kinds of shade as much as possible.

However, the "tactic understanding" between the two disappeared immediately after they arrived at the county government office.

...

"Bang!"

As the sound of the agglomeration being snapped by Huang Xiangfu, the entire county government hall became serious.

After a little scare of Bai Shier, Huang Xiangfu finally asked about the reason for summoning Bai Shier this time:

Why did Bai Shier know that the "Shadowless Rat" would come to Hongdu Prefecture?

With the help of his subordinates, Huang Xiangfu, who sorted out the entire case, was not stupid, so he naturally discovered the source of the entire case, which was the first news about "Shadowless Rat" that was spread by Bai Shier.

There is no "probable crime" in this era. The premise for a large number of unjust and wrong cases is that these officials have done some to find a suspect. If the other party has no money, power and money, then they can be punished and punished.

It is obvious that Huang Xiangfu identified Bai Shier as his accomplice of "Shadowless Rat".

As for why he did not go further directly, he directly determined that Bai Shier was the "shadowless rat", because he could not find evidence.

Since Bai Shier entered the east of the city and became a guardian, he has been staying honestly in the east of the city. The guardians of the wealthy family where he lives can testify to this.

Therefore, Huang Xiangfu could only "retreat and find the second best" and identified Bai Shier as an accomplice of "Shadowless Rat".

But after Bai Shier heard Huang Xiangfu's words, he only felt funny.

However, he also knew in his heart that it would not make sense to talk to Huang Xiangfu at this time. After so many years of leaving home, he had long been extremely familiar with the nature of these "big masters".

Although he could not completely deny that there were indeed some honest officials among these officials, he himself had never seen any of them with his own eyes.

If he had encountered such an official before, he would have no good idea besides escaping.

Although he would take some "travel expenses" from the other party as his compensation before escaping, he was a little depressed after all.

Fortunately, now, he no longer has to be as frustrated as before.

Moreover, it was the most critical moment when his investigation was underway. There were only three or five most closely guarded courtyards in the east of the city. He had not yet sneaked in to investigate, and he was unwilling to waste his time here.

So, amid the extremely vigilant eyes of a group of yamen runners and a little stern warning, Bai Shier took out the most commonly used token from his arms, and threw it into the quiver on the table in a scream of Huang Xiangfu.

"See the sign clearly before speaking."

After throwing out the token representing the identity of the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, Bai Shier immediately dared to speak out without hesitation before Huang Xiangfu was furious.

"Bang!"

Seeing that the master who was originally standing next to Huang Xiangfu wanted to show his loyalty, he stood up and reached out to get the token from the quiver, Bai Shier immediately shot out a small stone.

"If you don't want to die, I advise you not to touch that sign."

Ignoring the many yamen runners who had pulled out the knife and held it in their hands, Bai Shier warned his master in a cold voice.

At this time, Huang Xiangfu finally recovered a little from his previous panic. He was so angry that he wanted to directly order Bai Shier, a madman who dared to attack the imperial officials in the court, and arrested him for punishment. After hearing Bai Shier's warning in a voice without any fear, a hint of uneasiness flashed through his heart.

He didn't care about his decency, and finally got up with the help of his master, he immediately reached out to make the token in the quiver.

The master seemed to have guessed the meaning of the token, and did not step forward. Instead, he took two steps back with great awareness and closed his eyes tightly, as if he wanted to prove to Bai Shier that he had never peeked.

As soon as Huang Xiangfu reached the quiver, he touched the token. He originally wanted to take it out directly, but looking at the yamen runners in the hall, he finally did not dare to take it out.

"You guys go out first."

"Sir! He..."

The master immediately said nothing, and even left in a hurry as if he was pardoned. However, the yamen runners were quite ignorant of life and death. Looking at Bai Shier, they wanted to remind Huang Xiangfu that it was too dangerous to stay alone with such a strong man.

"Get out."

Huang Xiangfu was immediately angry.

Seeing that Huang Xiangfu was angry, a group of yamen runners did not dare to say a word, so they had to leave the lobby in shame.

Seeing that only he and Bai Shier were left in the lobby, Huang Xiangfu quickly pulled his hand out of the quiver and carefully checked the token in front of him.

"It turns out that you are the banner officer of the Jinyiwei. This really caused the Dragon King Temple to rush into the flood."

After seeing the token clearly, Huang Xiangfu's expression suddenly became strange. After changing for a while, he finally said to Bai Shier with a slightly awkward smile.

After all, from this token, Bai Shier is just a small flag official, with his official position far lower than that of him. As a sixth-rank magistrate, he really can't help but acts too flatteringly.

"Ha, fortunately, I'm good at 'water', otherwise I might have been drowned today."

Bai Shier did not leave any face for Huang Xiangfu and said sarcastically without hesitation.

"After I go back, I will definitely talk to the 100-household masters and let my brothers practice water quality well so that they will not be drowned."

"Baiqi Officer, what do you mean?"

Huang Xiangfu's face suddenly turned dark.

"Ha, what do I mean? Isn't it clear to County Magistrate Huang?"

Bai Shier looked at him deeply, the sarcasm in his eyes was unconcealed, and the corners of his mouth even pulled a curve, mocking him.

"If it were any ordinary person who had poor 'water nature' today, I'm afraid he would become a thief accomplice in Huang Zhixian's words today?"

Hearing Bai Shier unceremoniously expose his thoughts, Huang Xiangfu's face suddenly turned into a pig's liver, but in addition to his anger, he felt more fear and worry.

"What do you want?"

Huang Xiangfu suppressed the fear and worry in his heart. After his expression returned to normal, he did not make any unnecessary excuses, but asked Bai Shier directly.

He is indeed not a good official, but he would not believe that Bai Shier, the Jinyiwei banner, would do anything to "please the people for their lives".

"Ha, I really want to ask Huang Zhixian County, what do you want?"

But Bai Shier did not answer, but raised his eyebrows and asked back.

"Maybe I can help Huang Magistrate?"

Huang Xiangfu looked up at Bai Shier and looked at each other, then lowered his head and frowned again and began to ponder.

Although he couldn't guess what Bai Shier was thinking, to be honest, he was indeed a little moved when he told Bai Shier's suggestions.

Judging from the current situation, Bai Shier is obviously the person who knows the most about this matter. He hides his identity, sneaks into the city, and even becomes a low-status guard. He must have a lot of plans. Maybe he can really get the information he wants from Bai Shier.

only...

Huang Xiangfu thought of this and couldn't help but look up at Bai Shier again, guessing in his heart that Bai Shier might have made.

"What do you want from me?"

Huang Xiangfu asked again. Although literally speaking, his current sentence seems to be no different from before, the meaning behind it is completely different.

In the past, Huang Xiangfu just wanted to lose money and avoid disasters and use money to block Bai Shier's mouth, but now, he wants to trade with Bai Shier at more levels.

And since he asked, it also means that he agreed to the deal with Bai Shier.

"Ha, Lord Huang is indeed a smart person."

Bai Shier naturally also heard what Huang Xiangfu meant and grinned.

“I just like working with smart people.”

"I want news about those four people this morning."

Huang Xiangfu seemed reluctant to "cooperate" with Bai Shier, and he wanted to call it a "deal", so he was unwilling to waste his talk with Bai Shier anymore, so he spoke out his request directly. At the same time, he also wanted to see if Bai Shier was fooling him before.

"The four people should have come from a secret sect called Tianyan Sect."

Although the east of the city was blocked very tightly, the news was very well-informed. After Bai Shier learned the news, he immediately guessed the identities of the four people, and even the identity of the person they were chasing him, he had a clear idea in his heart.

"I am not stingy for the first time in cooperation. I can provide another message to Lord Huang.

The guy who was chased by four people was probably the "Shadowless Rat", the flying thief who caused all this."

"oh."

Huang Xiangfu couldn't help but look at Bai Shier in surprise, and finally felt a little relieved.
