Fix Smile Order Chapter 45:

Like an iron cannon out of the chamber, King Li flew into the courtyard, screaming and howling as he ran, destroying the atmosphere that Tang Tianyuan finally created.

The iron cannon slammed on the door, almost turning his face into a pie. Only then did he realize that the door was inserted from the inside, and he didn't know what the county magistrate was doing.

"Sir, something happened!" King Li shouted as he knocked on the door.

Accidents happen, what are you talking about! Tang Tianyuan's face was gloomy and his eyes were fierce.

Tan Lingyin didn't know why he was suddenly in a bad mood. She got up to open the door and let King Li in.

King Li gasped, "Sir, Sun, Sun Yuan's family was robbed by bandits!"

Tan Lingyin is very strange, "The bandits robbed? When did you hear no movement? Are there casualties? Are you too daring to rob things in broad daylight?"

She is impatient and throws a series of questions like small firecrackers. King Li didn't think fast enough, so he only grabbed her last question and answered, "Ah, it was last night."

Tang Tianyuan quickly discovered the doubt, "The case that was done last night was only reported now? Also, how did the gangsters get in when the city gate was closed at night?"

"No, those bandits robbed Sun Yuanwai's Zhuangzi outside the city."

Oh, that makes it clear. Otherwise, there will be a robbery in the county town, and the city will be full of trouble. It is impossible for them to know it now. Tang Tianyuan sat down and pointed to the tea set on the table, "Drink first, and then tell me what's going on."

King Li poured two bowls of water, and then explained the matter in a few words.

It's very simple, just last night, Sun Yuanwai's house, the largest farm outside the city, was ransacked by bandits. At this time of year, the new grain has just been harvested. Because there is too much, it is impossible to transport it all to Sun Yuanwai's home in the county town, so it is hidden in the granary on the spot. There are people guarding the outside of the granary day and night, one is setting fire, and the other is preventing thieves.

At three watch in the evening, when people were in a daze, a group of bandits who came down from Phoenix Mountain went to the farmhouse, found the granary, and removed all the food. They were just like taking things from their own homes. They moved very quickly and ruthlessly, so they just evacuated them. The people guarding the granary tried to stop them, but whoever stopped them beat whomever. But fortunately, everyone didn't dare to resist, and no one was killed. However, a few dogs shouted fiercely, but were killed and taken away by the bandits.

Almost as soon as he finished listening, Tang Tianyuan straightened his thoughts and asked, "How can you be sure that the bandits came from Phoenix Mountain?"

"I don't know if I'm small."

Tang Tianyuan threw a second question, "How long did it take the bandits to go from the farm to the looting of grain? How much grain did they rob? Which direction did they go later?"

"I don't know."

Tang Tianyuan asked again, "It's obviously what happened last night, why did you delay the report until now?"

"Little..."

King Lee feels a little innocent. He was entrusted by the Sun family to report the case to the county magistrate, and he didn't know the details. Oh, he knew how many dogs were killed, but the county magistrate didn't ask.

Tang Tianyuan waved his hand, "Forget it, let a few witnesses come to ask questions," after a pause, he added, "You need to be clear."

King Lee left injured.

Taking advantage of this free time, Tang Tianyuan asked Tan Lingyin to bring the gold back first and hide it well. Tan Lingyin went back to open the box and took out all the gold, and saw that there was a layer of a smaller wooden box at the bottom, and the small wooden box was empty. Taken together, the volume of the small wooden box is much larger than that of gold.

Tan Lingyin was a little puzzled, thinking that the county magistrate deliberately pretended to be a facade, which was too unskilled. But on second thought, she understood what he meant.

As we all know, gold weighs the hand, and a piece of gold of the same size is heavier than the next thing. An experienced person can identify the real and fake gold just by looking at the size and weight. Of course, this is the practice of insiders. Even if you know the method, it may not work, you have to have vision and feel. Tan Lingyin herself has been weighing gold for so many years, and she did not dare to pat her chest to guarantee that she would not go wrong.

However, if you know the method, you can avoid other people's inspection, no doubt.

If a box is full of gold, it's easy to spot doubts if the person carrying the box is a connoisseur. Therefore, the magistrate will fill a large box with other things, in order to confuse the public and make the gold not sway in the empty box.

Tan Lingyin squeezed the gold and sighed, this county magistrate is afraid that he is going to become an elite.

After hiding the gold, Tan Lingyin went to the Retreat Hall. Witnesses have come, and the magistrate is questioning him. When she walked in, he asked why he didn't come to the county government earlier to report the crime.

The witness was a little old man, in his fifties or sixties, with a hunched back, dark skin, and a respectful, but open-eyed, manner when he spoke.

Tan Lingyin sat quietly on the sidelines.

The little old man's attention was attracted to her. He had never seen such a beautiful girl, so he couldn't help but take a second look.

Tang Tianyuan knocked on the table, "Speak." There was displeasure in his tone.

Seeing that the county magistrate was going to be angry, the little old man said quickly, "Yes, yes. That—" Where did he say?

Tan Lingyin interjected, "Why did you report the crime so late?"

"Oh, this, the little one doesn't know anything. Butler Sang told us not to talk nonsense and let people look at us. He took people to the city early in the morning to find the master. The little one didn't know anything."

Tan Lingyin had a guess when she heard this. That butler Sang seems to be very supportive. He doesn't want to make it look like he is catching the thief, right? Sun Yuanwai apparently agreed with his suggestion. But later, there was no discussion, or the ability was limited, and the thief could not be caught, so he had to ask the government for help.

Tang Tianyuan thought for a while, then asked, "But what else is suspicious?"

The little old man shook his head.

"Think about it, what caught your attention about those bandits."

The little old man's eyes lit up, "Yes! They don't speak with a local accent. Their own accents are not uniform, and they seem to come from several places."

Refugees. Tang Tianyuan nodded, "Very good, any more?"

"Oh, also, there's a guy who looks like an old iron. I'm still weird, take a look."

"Who is the old iron?"

"Lao Tie is a handyman in the Sun House. He is already dead."

"When did you die?"

"It's been a few months."

Tang Tianyuan nodded and asked some more questions. Tan Lingyin interjected from time to time, and when asked later, the little old man's eyes always glanced at Tan Lingyin. Tang Tianyuan was a little impatient, he couldn't ask anything anyway, so he let him go.

After the little old man left, Tang Tianyuan smiled and looked at Tan Lingyin, "Is the thing hidden?"

Tan Lingyin held her chest out and nodded.

Tang Tianyuan knew she was good at hiding money. It's like a mouse loves food, making a hole with nine and eighteen bends and hiding it full of food. He held his chin and smiled at her, his eyes were a little sticky, "As expected of the official's right-hand man."

Tan Lingyin sat a little far away and couldn't catch his eyes at all. She felt that she was very happy when the magistrate praised her for her ability.

Tang Tianyuan was a little depressed. At this stage, his affection can only be conveyed in some subtle ways, but Tan Lingyin is blind and slow to respond.

The two were speechless for a while. Tang Tianyuan felt that he was in a surprisingly good mood just by looking at her quietly.

Then, he lifted his eyelids and saw a cucumber poking his head outside the Retreat Hall.

"What's the matter?" Displeased after being interrupted.

"Master, Zucchini has arrived with a letter from home."

This is the personal matter of the magistrate, so Tan Lingyin is naturally not good enough to stay here. She said goodbye and went out, taking a piece of Tangtang to the kitchen to find something to eat.

Tangtang is the most popular little guest in the kitchen. From the kitchen to the cook, to the chores who make the fire, they all like to stir things and feed Tangtang. However, the county magistrate has an order that it is not allowed to feed sugar and sugar, especially raw meat, blood, and offal, otherwise he will be severely punished.

Old Ding was holding a knife with a large piece of coagulated pig blood on the knife. He held a teaser, "Do you want to eat it? Tangtang."

Tangtang sniffed the pig's blood and turned her face in disgust.

This thing is bitter, no matter how good it smells, it is bitter.

Old Ding laughed, bent down and rubbed Tangtang's head. He turned around and opened the big steamer, "Keep it for you!"

In the steamer there is a bowl of braised pork, a bowl of chicken nuggets, a plate of steamed fish, two vegetarian dishes, and two bowls of rice. The other pot still has soup left. Lao Ding made two cold dishes out of nowhere.

It was already past dinner time, and Tan Lingyin didn't eat dinner either. She swallowed, "Is there a part for me too?"

"Yes, yes," Lao Ding said with a smile, "The county magistrate specially ordered, you didn't eat, let me leave some for you.

A county magistrate? He is so busy today that he can still find time to instruct the kitchen. Tan Lingyin was a little moved, thinking about the red dishes on the table today, maybe it really wasn't malicious?

Tangtang looked at Tan Lingyin and Laoding, it didn't understand, there was something delicious, why didn't they eat it, why didn't they give it to him.

Lao Ding teased Tangtang with a piece of braised pork, "Tangtang, come, open your mouth."

TangTang was so anxious that both front paws left the ground, it stood upright, looked at the braised pork eagerly, and opened its mouth.

Lao Ding loosened the braised pork, Tangtang caught it accurately, chewed it exaggeratedly, and narrowed his eyes in happiness. The old man laughed again.

Tan Lingyin looked at the dishes. Some of these dishes should be reserved for the county magistrate. Why don't she give it to him in person?

As I was thinking about it, another person came in outside, it was a cantaloupe.

Cantaloupe is here to fetch dinner for the young master. When she saw Tan Lingyin, she smiled and said, "Master Tan is hungry again?"

Tan Lingyin knew that Xianggua didn't like her, so she hit haha, and didn't plan to argue with her.

Lao Ding and cantaloupe are not familiar either. He was full of thoughts about how to tease Tangtang, so he prepared the county magistrate's meal and waited for the cantaloupe to leave soon.

Cantaloupe mysteriously said to Lao Ding, "Have you heard, our young master is getting married!"

She poses as a gossip, but speaks in a quarrelsome voice. If Tan Lingyin can't hear, she is deaf.

Tan Lingyin didn't know why she suddenly felt a dull heart, she asked curiously, "Really, with whom?"

Lao Ding couldn't care less about teasing Tangtang, "Really? Congratulations! This is a good thing, why didn't my grandfather mention it?"

He said a grandfather on the left and a grandfather on the right, and said the county magistrate, and called her handsome and suave young master an old man. Xianggua frowned and said, "This matter is a new decision. The woman is the daughter of the servant of the capital's Ministry of Rites, a real lady." As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at Tan Lingyin.

Lao Ding sighed, "Aiya, Jingguan! Now my grandfather is very developed."

Tan Lingyin was also a little surprised. The direct daughter of the servant of the Ministry of Rites, from a very good background, with Tang Feilong, who has no background by studying, and is now only a seventh-rank county magistrate, she should be considered married. How did Tang Feilong's father ask for this girl?

Lao Ding's words obviously made Xianggua a little unhappy. She pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled, "I'm not bragging, I can't count the number of people who want to marry their daughter to our young master. This girl's family background is not very good. But our wife likes her temperament, so we chose her to be our young grandmother."

Tan Lingyin and Lao Ding were shocked by her bragging skills.

Cantaloupe was very proud to see that they were frightened. "Anyway, some skinny people don't always think about eating swan meat. This swan meat is only suitable for swans."

Lao Ding couldn't help correcting her, "Swans are vegetarian."

Cantaloupe snorted and walked away with the food box.

Tan Lingyin didn't know that she was stabbed with a gun and a stick. She looked at the back of Cantaloupe and asked Lao Ding, "Do you think the daughter of the Minister of Rites can like the magistrate?"

That's what she asked, but Lao Ding was someone who had heard of many scandals, and at this moment, these words brought a bit of sadness in his ears. He looked at her sympathetically, hesitated, and finally said, "Master Tan, look away."

Tan Lingyin: What's wrong with "..."?
