Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 612 City Gates Open

Daji did not follow to find out. Man Bao and Bai Shanbao also pressed the matter to the bottom of their hearts. They only lay down at the window and looked at the yard at night. After the snacks were no less, they knew that the person would not come again. .

  This seems to be a good thing, but for some reason, Man Bao and Bai Shanbao always feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts, and they feel a little depressed for two days in a row.

  Because the outside is not stable, Thu Lang and Zhou Lijun are not easy to go out to do things, and they are a little depressed to stay in the yard every day.

Four days have passed, and the government still did not catch the assassin. Yesterday, an official came to check it again. This time it was much more perfunctory, but it also checked again. There were always people smashing things with rough hands and feet. This caused everyone. Great dissatisfaction.

  Thursday Lang occasionally went out and squatted in the alley, complaining to his neighbors that the officers and soldiers were too rude.

   But this time they may have noticed everyone's dissatisfaction, or it may be because of the above requirements, no one dares to take things easily.

  In spite of this, everyone still complained, "The shop hasn't opened for several days, so how much money will I lose on this day."

  "Nowadays, the prices of vegetables and vegetables have risen. If the city gate is not opened, our family can't even afford vegetables and vegetables."

"Don't talk about vegetables, now on the street at 20 steps, every man passing by has to check it again. Didn't you see the old Zheng who sells water in the alley? I heard that he was pushing a cart of water over yesterday. I was checked five times, and all the money on my body was found..."

   "So now we have to carry water by ourselves. We can't carry money and valuables on our body when we go out, otherwise we have to search it for you."

   "Why the Tang county magistrate didn't care, let the soldiers of the palace come to search."

   "Shhhh, keep your voice down. Since the Dragon Boat Festival, whoever dares to speak ill of King Yizhou is as malicious as the assassin, and be careful to be arrested like Yan San from the Yanjia Alley."

  Everyone talked, and after a moment of silence, they talked about other topics, “Do you still have pickles in your house? I think you can’t buy vegetables and vegetables. Mixing them with pickles is also good.”

   "Yes, but there are, but not much. I think the gherkins grown in your yard are good. They can be cut and pickled. They are also very delicious..."

On Thursday Lang had heard enough gossip and greeted people and went home. Mr. Zhuang understood the discussion outside, lowered his eyes and thought for a while and said: "The city gate will not be closed for long. Now I can't catch the assassin, Yizhou. I am afraid that the Royal Palace will increase inspections, so try not to go out in the past two days."

  Lang responded on Thursday. It happened that today he went to buy a lot of vegetables and came back, which can reduce going out.

  The gate of the city opened earlier than Mr. Zhuang expected. On the evening of the day they were discussing, the county magistrate of Tang sent heavy soldiers to guard the gate, and then opened the gate.

  All those who are still stranded in the city can leave the city if they can find three or more companions who are witnesses to each other after the inspection.

  Nowadays, most of the people still stranded in the city are senior citizens.

  Because in the previous four days, the county magistrate of Tang had been opening the gate of the small city. Women, children, old and young, as long as they were not carrying luggage that could hide people, could leave the city after the inspection.

  Yizhou Palace’s Chang Changshi looked at him with a solemn expression. Seeing that the tense atmosphere eased, he turned his head to look at the Tang county magistrate, "Can Tang county magistrate guarantee to stop the assassin?"

"It's been four days. You've turned Yizhou City back and forth three times. Can you find someone?" County Magistrate Tang said, "I can't find anyone. What's the point of sealing the city gate? Why not open it? Go through the city gate and lead people out."

   "So many people, and most of them young and strong, can you recognize the assassin?"

   "No," the county magistrate Tang said naturally, "Didn't you say that they were seriously injured? There was no medical treatment for four days. As long as they dare to come, the soldiers will find it out as soon as they search."

   "What if they get drugged?"

  The Tang county magistrate implicitly sarcastically said: "All the medical clinics and pharmacies in the city have asked you to take over. Where else can they get the medicine? Didn't the Qin guard vowed to say that they can't escape far from being seriously injured?"

  Chang Changshi did not speak any more.

  Because of the search, the speed is very slow, but it can be slower, the gates on both sides are wide open, one by one is released, and the number of people gathered in the city is slowly decreasing.

  It was still dark, all the people who were about to leave the city had gone out, and the assassin still didn't even have a shadow.

  Chang Changshi's face became more and more condensed, "Could it be that he ran away from the small city gate a few days ago?"

"Impossible," the county magistrate Tang said slowly: "Only children under the age of twelve, old people over fifty, and women are allowed to leave in the small city gate. At that time, Qin Shiwei also sent someone to watch. Yes, there will be no problem for people out of the city."

   Chang Changshi couldn't help but mutter, "Then where are they hiding?"

  Tang county magistrate did not speak.

  Chang Changshi quickly recovered, looked at the county magistrate Tang, squinted his eyes and said, "Master Tang is a famous criminal expert, can't you find out where they are?"

  The county magistrate of Tang lowered his eyes, and said with a sigh: "These assassins are very smart, and Tang has no clues."

  Chang Changshi frowned.

  The Tang county magistrate asked, "Did you find anything from their history?"

  Chang Changshi immediately tightened his back and shook his head heavily and said, "No."

  The Tang county magistrate did not ask any more. He glanced at the empty city gate below, and turned around and said: "Let’s go, you can check it again tonight, and the city gate will be allowed in and out tomorrow."

  Chang Changshi's face was a little ugly, and he followed Tang County Order to the tower.

  Chang Changshi went back to Yizhou Wangfu. The county magistrate Tang didn’t know if he could take a rest, but he could not take a rest anyway.

  He rode straight to the governor's mansion. Ming governor sent a group of colleagues away before sitting down and taking a sip of tea. The magistrate of Tang came.

  As soon as he saw the governor, he had a headache, and he waved his hand to let the subordinates retreat, and he took Tang County magistrate to the back study.

   "Everyone is out?"

   "Well, at least the people gathered at the gate of the city are gone." He couldn't control other places.

  Ming Jishi motioned him to sit down, stared at his face and asked: "Can't you really catch the assassin?"

  Tang county magistrate raised his eyes to look at him, "My lord, the next official is just a small county magistrate. So many capable people and strangers in Yizhou Palace cannot catch him. How can I catch him?"

He sneered: "It said that the whole city is to be searched, but not every household has been searched, and the assassin's origin is under investigation by the Yizhou Palace, and I am not a god, so I can't isolate the assassin out of thin air. Where is it?"

That said, Ming Cishi sighed, "The battle in the palace is serious. I originally wanted to take over this matter. After all, I couldn't find the assassin. I couldn't get rid of the relationship, but I just went to contact and found out here. The head water is very muddy, so I just think about it. I would rather be impeached here than get involved in the internal fighting of the palace."

  Tang County magistrate nodded in agreement, so he didn't want to deal with Yizhou Wangfu.

   "In short, tonight is the last time. After tonight, no one is allowed to disturb the people." Tang County Order said: "It's almost five days, and the people of Yizhou City have a stable heart. I don't want to have any trouble because of this."

  Ming Jishi nodded, "Master Zhang also meant that."

   Otherwise, we won’t be able to open the gates hard today.

  　 The next update will be around 6pm
