Wang Caozhi thought of something and asked, "Where is Director Lu?"

"Still at the military camp on the outskirts of the city, watching with the people we sent."

"Is there any new news?"

"No, those White Tiger Guards have been guarding the water thieves. Those water thieves have been curled up in the swamp recently and there has been no big movement at the military camp. Our people have been guarding for several days, but they have not been seen.

General Duan showed signs of leaving or meeting some strangers."

"Understood."

Wang Caozhi nodded.

Although Director Lu had a bit of a weird temperament and had a paralyzed face all day long, he was still very cooperative with them.

In the first few days after arriving in Hukou County, Director Lu accompanied them and searched the city.

Seeing that there was no result in the city, he now ran to the military camp on the outskirts of the city, and cooperated with his people to secretly supervise Duan Quanwu...

After dismissing his entourage, Wang Caozhi continued to drive to Hukou County.

When the carriage passed a crowded notice board, Wang Caozhi slightly opened some of the curtains and saw the notices where people gathered.

The big men wanted on the notice, whether they have scarred faces or full faces, are all dressed in black, or uniformly dressed: tight-fitting vests on the upper body, and shorts and shorts on the lower body.

This kind of clothing is very suitable for water activities.

Wang Caozhi lowered the car curtain without being surprised.

This is a wanted order issued by the Hukou County Government and the White Tiger Guards under Duan Quanwu.

Those daring water thieves are wanted.

The carriage passed directly by the notice board, and Wang Caozhi suddenly thought that if he posted a notice like this, asking for the thin-faced man, and mobilized the people of Hukou, he might be able to trace his traces very quickly.

However, he came secretly on the order of his brother-in-law Ouyang Rong, and the people he was investigating were still people in Princess Anhui's palace, so it was not convenient to make a big publicity.

Magistrate Meng of Hukou County had the same idea. He opened the back door for their investigation, but it was also inconvenient to bring it to the table.

Wang Caozhi sighed.

When I think of the business that has reached a dead end, the good mood of "eating two fishes out of a hurry" suddenly disappears.

He rushed to the Hukou County Government Office somewhat worriedly, and after a secret meeting and conversation with Magistrate Meng, he was ready to leave.

At this moment, a clever boy who often followed him hurriedly came to him.

"Shopkeeper, there is a message from the Governor..."

Wang Caozhi stopped and dismissed everyone, sighing and waving his hands:

"Tell me, eh, is my brother-in-law dissatisfied with our progress and urging us..."

"No, that's not the case."

The clever boy shook his head, stepped forward, and whispered a few words in Wang Caozhi's ear.

"Brother Yan is here?"

Wang Caozhi looked surprised at first, then turned around quickly and walked away seriously:

"Let's go, take this young master over."

"yes."

After a while, Wang Caozhi came to a living room and saw Yan Liulang's waiting figure. He immediately entered, turned around at the same time, and closed the door...

After a stick of incense.

After finishing speaking in one breath, Yanrokuro picked up the tea cup and moistened his throat.

"Guanyin Temple?"

Wang Caozhi muttered, looking slightly confused, and glanced at Yan Liulang.

"Brother Yan, please wait a moment while I go over to check."

Wang Caozhi put down his teacup and walked straight out of the door, his figure walking away under Yan Liulang's calm gaze.

Wang Caozhi left the county government office with his clever young man and others, quickly left the city and went to Guanyin Temple.

The sun rose and set in the west until dusk.

Finally, Wang Caozhi came back after a long journey.
