Gu Yundong stopped in her tracks and frowned as she pulled Madam Yang to the side.

How did they come so quickly??

Just as she was thinking about it, the person in the room came out. It was a man in the clothes of an officer.

He was someone that Gu Yundong knew, the leader of the officers who came over after she saved the child at the inn that day.

The officer stood at the door of the central room and gave her a look, telling her to close the courtyard door first.

Gu Yundong had a good impression of him. It was said that not long after the kidnappers were taken away that day, they were asked about the whereabouts of the children who had been kidnapped during the Lantern Festival.

The officers were lucky. They had planned to take Bai Yang away, but they did not expect to be caught by Gu Yundong.

Later on, the government even sent money to Gu Yundong, saying that it was sent by the children’s families.

Therefore, when the officer looked mysterious, she closed the courtyard door even though she was puzzled.

Then, she brought Madam Yang into the central room.

The officer’s surname was Li. He waited for them to enter before saying, “I’m sorry for scaring you. I was just afraid of alerting the enemy, so I had no choice but to do this.”

Gu Yundong was puzzled. “What do you mean?”

Officer Li explained, “Miss, I’m afraid you don’t know. Last year, Qing’an Prefecture was in chaos. At that time, a bandit leader took the opportunity to enter the city and kill many people. The Xuanhe Prefecture sent troops to suppress him, but that bandit leader escaped. Later on, a magical painter from the Xuanhe Prefecture drew the appearance of the bandit. Only then did the bandit be brought to justice in three days.”

Magical… Painter??

“It’s a pity that although the bandit has been beheaded, the little bandits under him have not all been captured. The portrait that Miss took out today should be from the same person as the one that drew the bandit leader. They were both drawn by that magical artist. After the prefecture magistrate found out about this, he guessed that some bandit might come to ask about the artist. He immediately gathered all the constables and guards to the house of the person who posted the portrait today, waiting to catch a turtle in a jar.”

Gu Yundong could not help but widen her eyes.”…” Where did the new emperor find such a smart new prefecture magistrate? He even thought of this.

In fact, Gu Yundong had also guessed that the bandits would come to ask about the artist, so she had written an anonymous letter to analyze the situation. She planned to send it to the government office in a while and give it to Officer Li in front of her.

She even thought about what would happen if the government office didn’t take it to heart. Therefore, the few families she went to yesterday night had been specially selected. For example, the two brothers from the blacksmith’s forge who were tall and not to be trifled with, the big family with guards at home, the family with a few men who lived near the government office…

Bandits were usually unwilling to find a family that was too strong and might expose themselves. In the end, they could only choose the weakest one with no foundation, which was only the mother and daughter.contemporary romance

She planned to send Madam Yang to the Cao family for the night and then wait to see if any little thieves would come.

Unexpectedly, before she could do anything, the prefecture magistrate had already thought of it.

Although Gu Yundong had never met the current emperor, from the things he had done after he ascended the throne and the officers he had assigned to govern the towns and cities, Dajin would definitely prosper under his governance.

Seeing that she was silent, Officer Li thought that she was frightened. “You don’t have to be afraid. I’m not the only one here. There are ambushes around. We definitely won’t let anything happen to Miss.”

Only then did Gu Yundong look up. “Of course I’m not afraid. I’ll pretend that there’s no one else in my house and go do my own thing..”
