Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child

Liu county magistrate originally thought that it is better to do one less thing than to do one more thing, and just perfunctory it.

But things are different now. The case of abduction and trafficking of women is related to his future career.

If he didn't do his best, he wouldn't be able to keep the black gauze hat on his head.

Liu magistrate no longer dared to slack off.

He sent out all the people under his command, from the city to the outside of the city, and then to the surrounding villages, towns and official roads, all of which were strictly investigated one by one.

The manpower behind was really not enough, so magistrate Liu simply rolled up his sleeves and went to the city gate in person to check the people entering and leaving the city.

It is precisely because the magistrate Liu has set an example that makes all the people under him work extra hard.

Whether it's catching fast yamen, or officials of high rank, they are all busy at the moment.

At the gate of the city, Magistrate Liu stared at the passers-by with his eyes like copper bells.

Every person who passed by him, no matter what status, had to be scanned by him from head to toe.

Those eyes were as sharp as a knife, making people feel hairy.

Especially when he saw the young woman, the magistrate Liu had to take out the portraits, compare them one by one, and let them go after confirming that they were not the women in the portraits.

When an old man led an ox cart through the city gate, the magistrate Liu suddenly stopped him.

"Wait a moment!"

The old man had to stop, and bowed to the magistrate Liu.

County magistrate Liu circled around the ox cart and asked in a deep voice when he saw that the ox cart was full of sacks.

"What's in your sack?"

The old man hurriedly said: "It's just some rice grains. If you don't believe it, you can ask other officials, they have already checked it just now."

The clerk next to him nodded in agreement: "Yes, we just opened a sack, which is really rice grain."

Magistrate Liu felt that just checking a sack was not enough insurance.

Who knows what's in the other sacks?

He gave an order: "Open all the sacks and check them one by one!"

The yamen immediately began to move the sacks.

The old man hurriedly shouted: "This is really rice grain, why don't you believe me? I often come to the city to go to the market, and many people in the city know me, I can't lie to you!"

However, no matter what he said, Magistrate Liu was unmoved, and it seemed that he was determined to check one by one.

When it comes to your own future, you can't be too cautious.

The old man was furious.

He gestured toward the nearby crowd, indicating that he needed help.

The next moment, a carriage rushed towards the city gate from a distance.

The coachman who was driving the carriage was shouting loudly as he tightened the reins.

"This horse is frightened, get out of the way!"

Seeing that the carriage was rushing straight towards the city gate.

The people who had gathered near the city gate scattered one after another, and even the yamen who were just checking the ox cart were forced to retreat.

At this time, people were panicked and the scene was chaotic.

Everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, and no one noticed that the old man was walking out with an ox cart.

Only the magistrate Liu noticed the whereabouts of the ox cart.

In his heart, the alarm bell rang loudly, and he ignored the danger of being hit by the carriage.

"Come and stop the bullock cart! If anyone can stop the bullock cart, this official will reward him with one hundred taels of silver!"

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

The people who originally wanted to hide far away heard that there were 100 taels, and they were as if they had been beaten with blood.

Even if the old man swung the whip vigorously to whip the ox, the ox cart still couldn't go fast.

Soon the bullock cart was surrounded by the people.

The magistrate Liu led the yamen to catch up.

"Take him to this official!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the old man took out the big knife hidden under the ox cart, jumped off the carriage and rushed towards the direction with the fewest people.

He looks quite old, but the movement of wielding the knife is very imposing, coupled with his ferocious expression, it frightens the people to step back, not daring to have an anal with him.

Liu county magistrate shouted hoarsely: "One hundred taels! One hundred taels to catch him!"

In the end, it is still the money and silk.

Even if they knew there was danger, a few men who thought they were pretty good still stood up and tried to fight the old man.

The yamen also pulled out the official way and fought with the old man.

In the end, it was the old man whose fists were invincible with four hands.

But the yamen did not fare well here, and two people were slightly injured.

County magistrate Liu asked the two yamen to treat the wounds, while the rest took off all the sacks from the ox cart and opened them up one by one to check to see what was inside.

The top sacks are indeed filled with rice grains.

But the sacks below contained people.

Is a young girl.

Their hands and feet were tied, their mouths were gagged, their eyes were closed, and they were motionless.

Fortunately, there is still breath, it seems that it should just be in a coma.

County magistrate Liu took out the portraits and compared them one by one, and he was sure on the spot that these girls were part of the group of lost women.

He was overjoyed in his heart, now there is an explanation!

"Take them back quickly and ask the doctor to treat them."

"Here!"

The people applauded when they saw with their own eyes that Magistrate Liu rushed to the front line regardless of the danger, and when they saw him rescue the girls who had been abducted and trafficked.

Someone else was shouting.

"Master Liu is amazing!"

"We hope that Songcheng can have a parental official like Master Liu, it is really our blessing!"

Liu county magistrate, who was about to go back to claim credit, stopped.

He stared blankly at the people.

Since he was admitted to the jinshi and had the opportunity to become an official in the court, someone has been telling him that the most important thing in being an official is to be tactful.

Only smooth people can live long in the unpredictable officialdom.

The magistrate Liu admits that he has no talent in the world, and he has no lofty ambitions.

Since he came to Wangsongcheng to take office, he has always adhered to the principle of tactful life, tried to build a good relationship with the local squires, and tried his best to win the favor of the superior officials.

As for how the people saw him, he didn't care.

Anyway, he only stayed here for three years. As long as he didn't make any big mistakes within three years, he could be promoted to another place and continue to serve as an official after the three-year term expires.

For him, the people of Wangsong City were nothing more than a passing glance, and they were insignificant.

He doesn't care about the people, and the people naturally don't like him.

On weekdays, when the people saw him, they were more fearful than respectful.

Occasionally, the people could be heard scolding him behind his back for sloppy handling of the case.

But now, the people are praising him from the bottom of their hearts.

Everyone looked at him, full of admiration and respect.

It seems that until this moment, they really recognized Liu County magistrate.

Liu county magistrate couldn't help feeling a little bit of blood in his heart.

He seems to have returned to his youthful days, and together with his classmates, he scolded Fang Qiu and looked forward to the future. At that time, he made a wish that if he can become an official in the future, he must be a good official who can benefit one side!
