Chapter 058
The county lieutenant looked through this information, and for the first time in his life, he felt such a deep dislike for a person.
He had always known about He Miao's secret activities in the city, and many of them were suppressed by the county magistrate from him.
Only in this way can He Miao maintain his consistently good image.
If it weren't for the county magistrate's protection here, He Miao would have died a thousand times over.
This had already made him dislike the county magistrate and his family, so when Su Nian'an gave him the idea to kill He Miao, he fully agreed.
The leading underground force was able to thrive, and even the county captain was unable to touch him. In fact, it was all the credit of that woman.
It was her combination with the county magistrate that allowed the magistrate to take both black and white, allowing him to remain his county magistrate for nearly twenty years.
Now, if the mastermind behind these cases is the county magistrate, then the magistrate and his family will be completely to blame.
It’s no wonder that He Miao was educated like this. His parents are not to blame.
After calming down, he asked his master to invite Su Nian'an over.
Half an hour later, after Su Nian'an read the information given by the county captain, his eyes were filled with shock. Even the wound collapsed and began to bleed again.
The three people in the study looked at each other, speechless for a long time.
After a while, the county lieutenant broke the calm, "It seems that the governor asked me to investigate secretly for a reason, but I didn't expect the problem to be so serious."
The master lowered his head and looked at the information in his hand, "In the past twelve years, nearly 500 families have been destroyed and more than 700 children have been kidnapped. There is a record of this. Who knows how many more have not been found out? This... this
…The crimes are simply too numerous to describe!”
The three fell into silence again.
Su Nian'an asked: "Can you confirm the relationship with the county magistrate?"
The county lieutenant shook his head, "There is no direct evidence yet, but who else do you think could do such a big thing quietly?"
After a pause, the county captain said sadly: "I have been the county captain for five years, and I didn't find anything fishy in this. I really feel bad about my conscience!"
"Such a blood-sucking worm, executioner, I will never give up until I send him to hell." Thinking of these people whose families were ruined, the county lieutenant murmured through gritted teeth.
Su Nian'an was a little silent. Under any glamorous appearance, there would be unknown undercurrents.
The county lieutenant was able to spend five years peacefully. It seemed that he was focused on fighting against the county magistrate. He really paid little attention to the life and death of the people. He was indeed derelict in his duty.
However, his anger is real, but it is too late to say this now. The only thing that can be done now is to find out the truth of the matter and bring peace to the people of Qiantang.
Putting aside these thoughts, Su Nian'an carefully sorted out what happened before and after, and said, "Your Excellency, you are now sure that the county magistrate has colluded with the bandits, right?"
The county lieutenant nodded, "After the An-Shi turmoil, that group of bandits lingered near Qiantang City. They have been unable to be eradicated. They are so well-informed that it is unimaginable. No matter how I secretly send troops to investigate, he will still escape."
"In recent years, I have driven them into the mountains so that they could not harm the people and stopped pursuing them."
"I tried every means to train the army, ate and slept with them, and gradually trained the army to become a monolith. However, it may be that the bandit was no longer in line with his wishes."
"Recently, before the governor came, I cooperated with the city guards in an unprecedented way and came into contact with the leader of the bandits, An Lao'er. Only then did I know the truth."
Su Nian'an thought deeply and said, "Then, these children should be abducted far more than just these children."
The county lieutenant and the master were startled, and their thoughts were instantly opened. If you think about it, there would have been more plunders that were not known to anyone during the turmoil. This crime could not be more serious.
"Also, what are the uses of these children after they are kidnapped? What are they planning to do? Is there any relevant news?" Su Nian'an asked with a frown.
The county lieutenant picked up another piece of information on the desk and passed it to Su Nian'an and the master. "They were all scattered and secretly transported to Hangzhou County. As for where they went next, I don't know."
Su Nian'an took the information and read it carefully, "We have to go to this place to have a look."
The county captain shook his head, "This place is not simple. As far as I know, there are big people behind this place."
Su Nian'an frowned slightly, "Let's investigate secretly first, try to get a good grasp of the situation, and then make next steps."
"With the support of a big shot, this big shot is not a good thing. We may need the help of the governor. It seems that I still have to go to the county seat." Su Nian settled down and continued.
The county captain nodded, the county town was the governor's territory, and of course there was nothing he couldn't do.
"When will Shopkeeper Su go to the county town?" the county captain asked.
"As soon as possible! Xiuyi Xuan is on the right track, which allows me to go to the county to develop with peace of mind. Before I leave, I will leave Xiuyi Xuan to Wan'er to take care of it."
The county captain took a deep look at Su Nian'an and said, "Wan'er will take good care of Xiuyi Xuan."
Su Nian'an smiled softly, "I believe you, sir."
The master was a little worried and said: "Shopkeeper Su, shouldn't you pay attention to safety when you go?"
"In Qiantang City, people all over the city support you, but in the county town, you don't!"
Su Nian'an smiled and said: "Thank you, Master, for caring. I still cherish my life. I won't do anything that is life-threatening."
The master heard this and said no more.
…
Because for more than a month, the ladies have been practicing aerobics and Baduanjin with Su Nian'an, and now they are all able to do the exercises on their own very skillfully.
Moreover, this training team was widely publicized by ladies trying their own methods, and more and more people spontaneously joined the training team.
This training team has a tendency to expand to men. After all, when women become stronger and stronger, if men don't follow suit, they will only be laughed at.
What's more, in this era, there are still many people who have three wives and four concubines, especially the rich and officials. After all, no one wants to be short-lived and happy.
The one who benefited in the end was Su Nian'an. She felt that her body had improved a lot due to the extended life span. Even if she looked carefully, she had grown a bit and had more self-confidence.
Two days later, Su Nian'an made arrangements for Xiu Yi Xuan, with Lin Waner's repeated requests.
Well! In the end, she decided to go to the county seat alone. Of course, she accompanied the county captain's two hundred personal guards and two thousand cavalry troops there alone.
When they left Qiantang City, the county magistrate knew the news. The high-level entourage made the magistrate greet the magistrate and Su Nian'an with Chinese quintessence, but there was nothing he could do.
Under the escort of cavalry, it would take four hours to reach the county seat, so Su Nian'an carefully thought about the next road in the carriage.
