Chapter 40 Prepared to find trouble?
Old Lei Gong asked Zhang, "Didn't I tell you where to go?"

Mrs. Zhang smiled and shook her head. She looked around and saw that her daughter was indeed missing. She couldn't help but wonder, where had she gone?
Er Liang came out at this time and said to Mrs. Zhang and Old Lei Gong: "Mom, I just said that I would go to the mountain to pick some oranges."

In fact, there were still some oranges at home. He originally wanted to follow him, but his sister didn't let him go. She just told him that if anyone came looking for her, he would tell his mother so.

Mrs. Zhang was relieved when she knew the reason, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "She really didn't even tell me. Does Master Lei have something urgent to discuss with her?"

Old Lei Gong waved his hand and said: "It's okay. I originally wanted to discuss with her how to use the original broken tiles as wall materials. Forget it, I'll wait until she comes back."

If you want to reuse the broken tiles, you have to mix them with adobe mud to make them more suitable as wall materials. On the one hand, they are not wasted, and on the other hand, they are more stable.

From his observations in the past few days, Old Lei Gong found that Mrs. Zhang did not make the final decision on all the matters at home, and threw them all to her daughter. Firstly, Mrs. Zhang had a lack of ideas, and secondly, she was only willing to listen to her daughter's wishes, so Regarding all matters related to the house, he always skipped the Zhang family to discuss with Wang Shuyan.

As expected, Mrs. Zhang looked confused and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, I don't understand either. You should ask her."

If you ask her how to embroider and make clothes and shoes, you can still discuss it, but once it goes beyond the scope of her preferences, she will really lose her sight.

Old Lei Gong shook his head secretly. He really had no idea. He couldn't help but envy Zhang's good fortune and gave birth to a capable and filial daughter.

Aunt Su came over after cleaning up the house. When she saw Ms. Zhang, she asked, "Is your house okay?" After thinking about it, she realized that the house was completely empty, so there was nothing to clean up.

Mrs. Zhang brought her a cup of tea: "It's okay. I can take a look at the small bamboo house here. The official will leave after taking a look."

Aunt Su nodded, took the tea, drank half of it, and put it on the table: "It's fine where I am. The people who searched our place were quite polite. The search last month dealt me ​​a terrible blow." When she thought of it, This time, she couldn't help but get angry.

Mrs. Zhang also thought of what happened last month. The place was really in a mess. Afterwards, she was beaten by Wang Fu, and sighed: "Just leave."

Aunt Su said, "I heard it's still at the entrance of the village."

When Ms. Zhang heard this, her heart skipped a beat: "Didn't you say you were leaving?"

The few big men who were building the house and laying the foundation were a little surprised when they heard Aunt Su say this. They were considering whether to let them stay at home today. They all looked at Old Lei Gong. After all, they were all invited here. The wages are calculated every day, and the foreman has to nod before he can leave.

Old Lei Gong received everyone's gazes and hurriedly asked Aunt Su: "Are you sure you are still in the village and haven't left?"

Aunt Su told what she knew: "Yes, Ah Fu went to inquire about it and said that some more officers and soldiers suddenly came."

The men at the scene couldn't stay still, and Old Lei Gong had no choice but to ask them all to go back and come over and let them know if there was any news.

One of the men thought for a while and simply went to the village chief. Once he arrived at the entrance of the village and confirmed the situation, he immediately returned and reported: "I really haven't left yet. I'm still at the entrance of the village. There's also an extra team of people who are searching the forest right now."

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she immediately thought of her daughter picking oranges in the mountains. Oh my God, what can I do?

Old Lei Gong also thought of this, with a solemn expression on his face.

Seeing that Old Lei Gong and Mrs. Zhang had strange expressions, Aunt Su asked in confusion, "What's going on? Searching the mountains and forests is not searching houses, let them search." Mrs. Zhang then said in a trembling voice: "But... Yan'er just went to the mountains to pick oranges. went."

Aunt Su stared at her eyes: "Huh? Call her back quickly! As a girl, don't be frightened by those officials wielding knives and sticks, and she was whipped on the face today?"

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she immediately became anxious and was about to run into the forest. Seeing this, Old Lei Gong hurriedly stopped her and said, "Mrs. Zhang, don't be anxious. I'll let my apprentice go and find her."

……

At the entrance of the village, the village chief and Li Zhenggong were waiting in front of another soldier. The man on horseback sat upright, closing his eyes and concentrating. From the moment he suddenly appeared in Fangzikou Village, the people at the scene could not figure out what this official was. The purpose of my visit.

Different from the search method led by Song, after Governor Zhang arrived, he ordered people to search the forest in Fangzikou Village. The new team led the other soldiers to search directly into the mountains.

Supervisor Song, who was waiting at the side, stood dryly, looking at his silent superior on horseback, wishing he could go search the forest in person.

While waiting, Governor Zhang on horseback was like a statue. He didn't drink water and didn't say anything. He was like a god, but it made everyone present feel chills on their backs.

The village chief looked at Li Zheng and Zhou Songqing with an uneasy look on his face. Seeing that his brows were downcast and his expression showed no trace of panic, he couldn't help but wonder, why is Li Zheng not in a hurry now?

But he was so anxious that he secretly prayed in his heart that God, Buddha and the Eighteen Arhats must protect Fangzikou Village from finding any fugitives!

About an hour later, an official came to report: "Back to the supervisor, we found blood stains at the mountain pass where Chenjia Village and Fangzikou Village meet."

Supervisor Song was startled when he heard this, his expression was very complicated and became increasingly ugly.

After hearing his subordinate's words, the statue man on horseback opened his narrow red phoenix eyes and opened his thin lips lightly: "What do you think, Supervisor Song?"

Supervisor Song, who was named, tensed his back, sat aside and knelt down in front of his superiors. He swallowed and thought carefully before replying cautiously: "According to what I saw, the prisoner should have fled from Chenjiacun to Fangzi after being robbed." Kou Village.”

Supervisor Zhang looked at him as if he was looking at a fool, and then asked: "Supervisor Song doesn't look stupid, so why did he directly search the villagers' households twice? If you had searched the mountains and forests directly, you would have already searched everything by now. The robber was caught.”

Liang Liang's indifferent words made Superintendent Song a little confused. He couldn't make excuses at this moment, so he had to bite the bullet and admit his mistake: "Back to Superintendent, it's my subordinate's incompetence in doing things, and I am willing to accept the punishment."

Governor Zhang's originally frosty face now curled up his lips: "If you don't do things well, you are unable to take on the important responsibilities. It seems that it's time for you, the supervisor, to give up your talents to someone who is capable."

Supervisor Song felt that the sky above his head was about to collapse, and he hurriedly said: "Superintendent, please forgive me. I know I was wrong."

A governor is responsible for supervising local affairs, ranging from taxation to resource allocation in fields, to military affairs, as well as disputes and complaints from residents.

Not only does he have the power to recruit and allocate servants, but he also has the power to remove subordinates who fail to perform their duties and deal with them strictly, or to promote those who are capable.

Zhou Songqing suddenly felt that the weather was not so hot anymore, and the whiplash on his face was not so painful.

Seeing such a change, the other officers' minds were in turmoil. A few of them who could see the situation clearly were shocked: Could it be that the governor was prepared to cause trouble?
