Chapter 161 Boring Master Xia
There were more and more discussions, and Su Qingtian listened quietly in Fan Ye's arms.
No need to ask further, the suspect detained in the county jail among the people is his third uncle.
No matter how much gossip there is now, it will be of no use. We can only wait for the city gate to open and then go to the county government office to formally meet and inquire with the third uncle.
After hearing the gossip, Su Qingtian patted Fan Ye on the shoulder.
The smart "servant" carried the baby back to the carriage.
"I gave your third uncle Xiao Ruofeng a fortune telling."
As soon as Su Qingtian was placed in the soft cushion, Fan Ye quickly sat aside and took credit, "This time he was lucky, you don't have to worry too much."
"When it comes to fortune telling, I am much better than my senior brother. You believe me."
"Your Tianzong's divination technique can only predict bad luck, but cannot verify specific events?"
When Su Qingtian heard him mention divination, she raised her head and looked at Fan Ye and asked, "The hexagrams only have good and bad luck?"
Unlike other people who let him go directly, the city defenders led Fan Ye to drive to the other side of the city gate.
The yamen servant was shocked, as expected it was an important guest.
After digging out the snacks prepared by Xiao Jingmo and eating some, Su Qingtian hugged the stall and leaned against the carriage in a daze.
"Master He."
It's not He Gu Naqiao, but Mr. Xia who pays attention to the order of priority in doing things.
Fan Ye also drove the carriage slowly forward with the flow of people.
"Brother?!"
"I'm sending two distinguished guests to visit Mr. Xia. By the way, I want to tell you that my mother asked you to go home for dinner tonight."
"yes."
He himself walked into the gate of the Annan County government office with his entire family and one child.
When he turned to the back of the envelope, he suddenly saw the private seal of Mr. Hu from Linxian County printed on it.
He asked with a hint of surprise in his tone, "Why are you here? Are you taking a rest today?"
Some are setting up their own stalls to prepare for business, some are choosing the location for today's trading, and some probably left the house too early and did not have time to eat, so they are sitting on clean stone benches eating what they brought.
money for the journey.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, the crowd outside the car suddenly started to move.
Annan County and Linxian County are about the same size and have similar population densities.
Hearing the questions outside the car, Su Qingtian opened the curtain and handed over the letter that Mr. Hu had sent to the house.
But right now, Lord Xia has more important things to deal with.
He lowered his voice to the city defenders and said, "My young master came here specifically to look for someone."
this……
There were also many vehicles and horses passing by, crowded together with the flow of people on the not-so-wide street.
Not daring to open the letter at all, the defenders quickly arranged it into its original form and handed it back to Su Qingtian with both hands.
Seeing that there was only a five- or six-year-old girl inside, my guard relaxed a lot.
The door curtain was raised, and the defenders could clearly see the people inside the car at a glance.
Fan Ye didn't realize how unusual he was, so he bent down and opened the car curtain.
"You two, I'll take you two to the county government office."
At this time, just before the morning market started, the streets were bustling with many people.
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the backyard, with Fan Ye and Su Qingtian naturally following behind him.
"What are you doing in Annan County?"
Fan Ye also got off the carriage and stood upright next to the carriage with his slender figure, causing the government servant Qian who originally wanted to help lift the curtain to stop awkwardly.
Just by looking at it, he doesn't look like an ordinary person...
Recognizing people and objects is the basic skill of a government officer. When facing any stranger or thing, he must determine the other person's intention and identity as soon as possible.
"well."
The yamen servant never expected that the person who came out would be a little baby. He turned around and looked at his elder brother in disbelief.
The two yamen servants who had just stood on guard saw the carriage slowly approaching the county yamen gate. They looked at each other and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
The man wearing a navy blue gown walked toward the backyard with a hurried look on his face, holding a stack of papers.
The defenders sat directly on the steps in front of the carriage and gave Fan Ye directions.
A huge sound came, and it was the gate of Annan County that was slowly pushed open from the inside.
"Even so, it is only done occasionally by a very small number of people."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers guarding the city raised their heads and looked carefully at the man in white clothes in front of them.
"Who are you looking for? Does he have a name?"
The city defender waved his hands, jumped off the rut, and pointed at Fan Ye and the carriage behind him.
Although the city defenders were sitting in front of the carriage, the road conditions made it impossible for Fan Ye to move forward quickly with the carriage.
The city guards marched from the inside toward the outside, and the city defenders at the rear also brought out three or four horses to block the stone road entering the city.
When I saw two unfamiliar faces, Su Qingtian and Fan Ye, I couldn't help but stop and ask.
Fan Ye saw the other party's good intentions and readily agreed.
The yamen officer hurried forward and called He Gu, "These two are here to look for Mr. Xia, can you take them there?"
"You two, come with me."
"I'm on duty today."
After walking and stopping all the way, it took two quarters of an hour to finally arrive in front of the Annan County Government Office.
After talking for a while, the defenders came back at a trot.
Seeing the affirmation on his elder brother's face, he had no choice but to swallow all his surprise.
Su Qingtian got out of it, stood in the rut and looked at the county government gate, and then jumped down happily.
Mr. Xia and Mr. Hu from Lin County were classmates, and they exchanged many letters on a daily basis. He had also seen private seals exactly like this during his years as a city gate guard.
The city guard came forward with a sword on his shoulder, stretched out his hand and asked for Fan Ye's wooden identity card, "Who and what is in the carriage?"
Although they didn't know why this young lady was looking for Mr. Xia, the city guards didn't dare to neglect them, for fear that they wouldn't be able to find the county government gate, so they might as well make a special trip to see her off to avoid any trouble.
He judged that Su Qingtian must be a young lady from a noble family. Some minor things happened at home, so he reluctantly came to the county government office to ask Mr. Xia to come forward.
After a while, he nodded slowly.
The yamen officer responded to his brother and nodded hurriedly, but his eyes fell on the carriage behind him.
Fan Ye did not hand over his identity card. To be precise, he, a Taoist, did not have such a thing.
After hearing Fan Ye's explanation, Su Qingtian began to have a better understanding of this small world.
"Although my lord has gotten up, it is not office hours now. If it is not something urgent, I am afraid that we will not be able to solve it even if we meet."
His facial features and temperament were indeed unlike those of ordinary people, and the soldier couldn't help but frown slightly.
The yamen servant winked at his companion, who immediately took the reins from Fan Ye and drove the carriage to the backyard.
When talking about his areas of expertise, Fan Ye immediately nodded seriously, "Actually, occasionally I can peek into the secrets of the universe, but I can only see the tip of the iceberg."
"Back to your lord, there is my little master in the carriage."
He Gu looked Fan Ye and Su Qingtian up and down, seeming to be thinking about what important matter this meeting with Mr. Xia could have, and why he had to come at dawn.
"You two, please come this way."
The surrounding curtains alone are of unusual patterns and satin that ordinary people can use.
"Who are these two people?"
Half an hour later, it was their turn.
"Invite you two distinguished guests."
The people waiting at the city gate were picking up their belongings one after another and preparing to enter the city. They consciously lined up one by one, waiting for the city defenders to inspect them.
He reached out to take the letter and first looked at the writing and seal on the outside of the envelope.
The carriage in front of you looks simple and simple, but after a closer look, you can find that the materials and accessories used in the carriage are all good things.
When one of them saw the city defenders, his face was filled with astonishment.
Just after turning around the screen wall, a voice sounded from the right.
The other party said politely to Fan Ye, "Wait a minute," then strode towards his companion and began to whisper.
There is no time to pay attention to other trivial matters.
The county government in Annan County is almost the same as the county government in Linxian County and Fengcheng County Government, except that the houses are larger and smaller.
When He Gu arrived, the two men quickly found Mr. Xia, who was dancing in the courtyard with a long sword.
It can be seen that Mr. Xia has just learned martial arts not long ago, and he should only use it to strengthen his body.
