Please blacken the female supporting boss in quick time travel

Chapter 873 The Empress Has a Purpose (31)

"Do you have the list of missing teenagers this time?"

Poppy looked at the county magistrate and asked, you must first know who the missing people are, otherwise it will be difficult to solve the problem.

"Yes, I have already drawn up a list of those missing teenagers, Your Majesty, please have a look."

The county magistrate quickly responded, took out a list and handed it to Poppy.

Poppy glanced at the county magistrate, took the list and looked at it carefully.

The above markings are relatively clear. The specific family does what they do, and everyone in the family remembers it very clearly.

"Your Majesty, I even had portraits painted by me, but they may be slightly different from my own. I asked the family members of these people to describe the portraits they painted, and they said they were [-] to [-] percent similar."

As he spoke, the county magistrate took out another stack of papers from his pocket and handed it to Poppy.

Nanliu is not a small place, and there are quite a few people. It has only been a month since this incident happened, but there are already quite a few people missing.

In the past month, Nanliu has already disappeared more than a dozen people.

Looking at these portraits, Poppy handed them to Chu Yan who was sitting beside her.

"Chu Yan, tell me about this matter, what do you think?"

After handing the portrait and list to Chu Yan, Poppy asked with her lips curled up, obviously planning to give Chu Yan some time.

"How's the situation with the bandits?" Poppy asked Chu Yan, then looked at the county magistrate, and continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, there have been bandits here before, but they were all a few years ago. There has been peace in the past few years, but for some reason this year there are suddenly a large number of bandits. These bandits set up camp here, but they burned and killed them. There are very few looters, it seems they are simply looking for a place to stay in Nanliu."

"Besides that, the most heinous thing about those bandits is probably going to the mountains to borrow food from the villagers."

It can be clearly felt how strange the county magistrate was when he said this, and I still can't figure out what those people were thinking.

"Borrow?" Poppy raised her eyebrows, looked at the county magistrate and asked uncertainly, a group of bandits came here but they didn't rob or plunder, instead they asked you to borrow?Are you sure they are really bandits?Or maybe I used the wrong word?

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is indeed a loan. As for why it is too much, the main reason is that when they came to borrow food, their attitude was a bit fierce, which made the villagers tremble with fear, and they dare not even accept the loan."

The county magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead and said helplessly that when he knew about it, he was even more amazed than His Majesty.

After all, it sounds unbelievable to be true, but the villagers did take out the IOU, and after a few days, some villagers have already got the money they borrowed for the grain.

"Do you have an IOU here?" Poppy continued to ask, oh my god, what kind of bandits did I encounter, is it so weird?This made me wonder if they were bandits.

"Yes, yes, I went to someone to ask for a few IOUs on purpose, just, the writing of the IOUs may not be very good, Your Majesty, please bear with me."

With that said, the county magistrate took out a few more IOUs and handed them to Poppy.

Poppy unfolded the papers, which were not too big or too small, and when she saw the handwriting on them, the corners of her mouth twitched immediately, oh my god, what kind of stuff was written here? This child’s handwriting is too bad, right? .
