The next morning, Fan Ning and his second uncle took a boat to the county town.

Today, Fanning wore a white scholar's suit with good satin fabric, a leather strap with his waist, a pair of black deer leather boots, a satin square scarf on his head, and a folding fan in his hand, looking particularly gentle. He stood at the bow of the boat, as if he was in the wind.

Fan Tiego, who was sitting in the cabin behind him, was worried and kept blaming himself. He knew his nephew's intention to enter the city, but he helped him hide his parents. He was not a qualified second uncle.

"Ning'er, you shouldn't hide your father."

Fan Tiego sighed softly, "You should make it clear with your parents and believe they can understand."

Fan Ning went to the county town to visit the academic government, but Fan Tiege knew in his heart that his nephew had a deep plan and was definitely not as simple as going to the city to visit the academic government.

Fan Ning smiled and said, "Since my parents agree that I will go to the county school to study, of course I have to explain to the academic government, and then I have to go through various admission procedures. Today, I go to the city and I really have to go to the academic government."

Fan Tiege shook his head, "Do you think the second uncle can't understand your thoughts? Last night, you clearly touched the stone, and you still let Li Quan take it away. Don't you want to play a long line to catch a big fish?"

Fanning smiled faintly and said, "I don't know whether I can catch a big fish yet, but it is definitely not my principle of being a human being."

"What are you going to do?" Fan Tiego asked with concern.

"Of course I'm going to look for academics!"

Fan Ning smiled and said, "Who will scholars go to if they don't seek support from the government?"

Seeing that his nephew was very determined, Fan Tiege believed what his brother said. Although Fan Ning was young, he was very independent. No one could persuade him about what he knew.

Fan Tiege sighed secretly and had to say, "Okay! After you find the school, whether it is successful or not, you will come to find your second uncle, don't forget it."

"Uncle II, I will go home by myself."

"no!"

Fan Tiege refused, "This is what I promised your parents. If you don't do it, I will accompany you to find the government."

Fan Ning had no choice but to agree, "Okay! After the matter is done, I will come to see my second uncle."

The ship entered the city, and the uncle and nephew broke up at Jingxian Bridge. Fan Ning went ashore to find Xuezheng, while Fan Tiege continued to take the boat home.

But Fan Ning did not go to the county school, but turned around and came to the county government.

There were two policemen holding water and fire sticks in front of the county government office, wearing soap clothes and star anise hats, and very tall, which looked a bit like the two Hum Ha who were guarding the gate.

Fanning walked forward and bowed, "I am Fanning from Mudu Town. I came to visit the county lord and beg the eldest brother of the consent to report for me."

Fan Ning won the first place in the county vocational competition the day before yesterday, which has already caused a sensation in the county town. His name is almost everyone knows.

When the toll officer heard that the county sect leader had arrived, he hurriedly said, "Please wait, please wait, let's report now."

A man rushed into the county government office. After a moment, he ran back and smiled and said, "The county lord is invited, please follow me."

"Thank you!"

Fan Ning followed the toll to the back hall of the county government office. This was the office of the county magistrate. The furnishings were relatively simple. There was only a screen and a table in the room. There was a row of bookcases on each side, filled with various books and scrolls.

There is a picture of compassion for farmers hanging on the wall, with a large letter on the middle hall, with four big words "Love the people as if they are children", and on both sides is a couplet.

It was the couplet Fan Ning gave to Li Yun:

Nothing strange in life is loyalty and forgiveness;

There is a way to manage a family and be diligent and thrifty.

I saw County Magistrate Li Yun sitting at the table to review the files.

Fan Ning hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Student Fan Ning, see the county lord!"

Li Yun put down his pen and laughed: "Our county sage leader should now receive the warm hospitality of the gentry in his hometown. Why are he coming to the county town again?"

Fan Ning said calmly: "Theft at home last night is a major issue. The student came to report the case to the county lord."

Li Yun was startled, "Have you been thieved at your family?"

Fan Ning nodded, and Li Yun hurriedly said, "Did you notify the elders?"

"I informed me at that time and caught one of the little thieves, and the other thief was hunting down, but the two thieves were instructed by someone, and the elders did not dare to offend the instructor."

Li Yun frowned, "Who is instructed?"

"It's the shopkeeper Li of Xuji Stone Museum, named Li Quan."

Li Yun is also a stone lover. Of course, he knew that the Mudu Stone Museum was the Xu family's property. How could this matter involve the Xu family? He felt a little strange in his heart.

Fan Ning said calmly again: "Why didn't the county lord ask what was stolen?"

Li Yun then reacted and asked quickly: "What was stolen?"

Fan Ning said calmly: "Two things were stolen, one was a top-quality Taihu stone and the other was a fan pendant. The Taihu stone was thrown away, which was only a few hundred taels of silver, but the fan pendant was quite a bit."

"Why do you say that?" Li Yun was a little confused. The Taihu stone worth hundreds of taels of silver didn't care, but a small fan pendant was quite a bit of a small one.

Fan Ning took out a brocade box from his arms and handed it to Li Yun, "You will know when you look at this."

Li Yun opened the box and saw that there was a string of top-quality purple jade bracelets in it. He took a breath of air conditioning.

Among his wife's dowry accessories, there is also a top-grade jade hairpin, which is worth thousands of stagnant, but its quality is far inferior to this string of purple jade. This purple jade bracelet is simply too expensive.

"Mr. County Lord, this is a bracelet that the student presented to the emperor in Pang Xianggong's mansion and gave to the emperor."

"What!"

Li Yun was as if he was burned by fire, and quickly placed the brocade box on the table and asked in surprise: "This... is this gift from the emperor?"

“That’s right!”

Li Yun looked at the purple jade bracelet carefully again. In his letter to him, his father-in-law mentioned that the emperor loved Fan Ning, and seemed to have a heavy reward. Could this be the emperor's heavy reward?

However, such expensive jewelry can only be owned by the royal family. Li Yun knew very well that his wife did not have such a good dowry, let alone Fan Ning's family.

At this time, Fan Ning said slowly: "At that time, the emperor gave me two items, one was this purple jade bracelet, and the other was a white jade fan pendant."

Li Yun's eyes suddenly widened, "You mean, the white cloud fan pendant given to you by the emperor was stolen last night?"

Fanning nodded and pointed to the fan in his hand and said, "The white jade pendant was originally hung on this fan, but I felt that the fan was not worthy, so I took it down and put it in the drawer. I planned to buy a folding fan in the county town for pairing. But when I got home last night, the room was in a mess. The fan was still there, but the pendant was gone."

Li Yun was sweating on his forehead, and the things given by the emperor were stolen. This was a major case no matter what. If the news reached the capital and made the emperor angry, he would not have thought of doing it any more.

He was very nervous and pondered for a moment and asked again, "You said you had caught a little thief?"

Fanning nodded, "There are two thieves who escaped and were caught."

Li Yun immediately shouted: "Come here!"

A man came into the house to salute, "I am in a humble position!"

"Let Lu Dutou come to see me immediately!"

The messenger turned around and went out, and Li Yun comforted Fan Ning again and said, "Don't worry, I'll take this case and I'll handle it for you, but don't make any noise for the time being, so as not to alarm the enemy."

The reason why Fan Ning dared to give birth to a white jade pendant out of thin air was because he knew very well that the county magistrate Li was eager to protect the officials and would never report this matter to the top.

Just look at the moment, County Magistrate Li refused to even file a case in writing, so he could tell his self-protection mentality.

As for the Xu family, they dare not make a scandal.

Since he has a purple jade bracelet given by the emperor, who dares to say that he does not have another white jade fan pendant given by the emperor?

Fan Ning bowed and bowed, "Everything depends on the county lord!"

At this time, a man with a thirty-year-old man quickly walked into the inner hall. He was strong and sounded like a bell. He bowed and bowed and said, "I am not good at the county lord!"

This stubborn man is Lu Yougen, Dutou of Wu County. He is from Lu Tomb Township, Changzhou County. He is a martial arts expert. He has been a Dutou for three years and has caught countless thieves.

Li Yun ordered him: "Fan Ning's family was stolen last night and caught a thief. Currently, in the hands of the chief of Mudu Town, you should bring a few archers to the county. It is best to catch another thief who escaped. This is a big case, and you must not slackew!"

"I understand, let's go now!"

Lu Yougen bowed and turned around and left.

Li Yun smiled and said to Fan Ning again: "The case handler must be done step by step. In short, don't worry, I will definitely give you justice within three days."

Fan Ning bowed and bowed, "The students are grateful to the students for their kindness!"
