Tibetan Sea Pearl

At daybreak, Lin Cheng was awakened by a powerful drumbeat, and someone outside the county government office beat drums to report the crime.It was still early before Shangya, and Huajing had just woken up and was washing in the backyard.

"Go outside and see, who is the person who reported the crime? What's the matter?" Hua Jing ordered a small official who took care of his daily life.

He washed his face with cold water, and the little official walked in with a frown.

"The reporter was a woman who said her child was missing."

There is a population disorder in this county. It is a big or small matter. It depends on how you look at it. The big thing is being kidnapped and sold by Huazi. Well, kid, it's his nature to be playful, and he has received many such cases.

Huajing went back to his room and changed into his official uniform, and led the clerk to the county government. When he passed by the small courtyard where Lin Cheng lived, he involuntarily stopped and looked around.

Lin Cheng just came out from the courtyard, "But something happened. I heard someone beating drums early in the morning."

The two are familiar with each other, and Huajing has no intention of avoiding him.

"Someone reported to the police that the children in the family were missing," he said.

He is the county magistrate of Shanyin County, this matter can be big or small.

"I don't know if I didn't return all night or I stayed at the house of relatives and friends. I forgot to report a letter to my family."

Lin Cheng said, "Don't think about it so much, I'll go and have a look with you."

When we arrived at the county government in front, in order not to disturb the people, the officials had already invited the person who reported the case in.The woman fumbled towards the direction of the footsteps, hugged Lin Cheng's feet, and knelt in front of him.

"Master, you have to decide for the women." She shouted.

This woman is blind, she is a blind person, otherwise she wouldn't even admit that she was mistaken. Lin Cheng was wearing a moon-white robe, Hua Jing was wearing a dark official uniform and hat, and she looked a little serious.

Lin Cheng stopped and pulled her up.

Huajing said, "Get up and talk."

The little official at the side rushed to help her up, and the woman looked in the direction of speaking, "My lord, you have to save our family, Kaitai."

After making a fuss for a long time, it turned out that Kaitai had disappeared.

"What's wrong with your Kaitai family, didn't you return all night?" Huajing asked what happened.

The woman nodded, her eyes were clear, "Yesterday he came back from herding sheep as usual, and he brought back a piece of meat. I was frightened to death, thinking he snatched it from outside. Kaitai told me that the butcher couldn't sell it cheaply and gave it to him on credit." Yes, he hasn't paid the money yet, saying that the butcher agreed to pay him back after the lamb is sold.

"This silly boy, he has no money to buy any meat, and he has imitated others and learned how to pay on credit.

"I brought all the meat home, and it's not easy for me to return it. The butcher is not good at talking. I thought about making roast meat for my children. The children grow up, not like us adults.

"When I finished the meat and called Kaitai to eat, Kaitai disappeared."

Huajing frowned, "So, Kaitai disappeared after returning home." He looked at Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng's heart sank, and he asked the woman, "Have you looked around?"

The woman was impatient, but she was not in a hurry, "I searched everywhere, but I couldn't find it, so I came to report to the official."

Lin Cheng nodded, and asked about the places Kaitai often went to.

Huajing would also agree, and said to the woman, "I'll send people from the yamen to search around, and ask people who live near your house to see if there are other clues."

Only then did the woman feel a little relieved, "I'll take you there."

Huajing ordered the yamen servant to follow the woman to Kaitai's house in the north of the city.

Because it is relatively close to the grassland in the north outside the city, many herdsmen live here.

The yamen servant went out to search for a long time, and asked people in the north of the city, but no one had seen Kaitai last night.

Lin Cheng's heart skipped a beat, thinking of what happened that night, "Is Kai Tai going out to look for sheep?"

"But his family's sheep are not lost." The yamen servant replied.

What the yamen servant didn't know was that Kaitai had lost two sheep during the Mid-Autumn Festival, half a month had passed since the incident, would Kaitai feel distressed because of the loss of the two sheep, and would not give up if he didn't find them back?Lin Cheng didn't want the government officials to know about the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It's possible.

Huajing immediately confirmed Lin Cheng's conjecture in his heart.

He didn't know Kaitai's family background at first, but he only found out when the yamen servant searched and came back to report.

The two grown sheep are equivalent to half a year's chewing for Kaitai's family. Her mother is blind, so she can't do needlework to support the family.

He had also seen Kaitai, a child who was kind and hardworking, and supported his family at a young age.

"No matter what, we have to find people back."

"Otherwise, a family that has been propped up with great difficulty will be finished." Hua Jing sighed.

This matter was reported to the government, and the people in the government will handle it.

Huajing ordered the servants below, "Send down the order, send more people, and expand the scope of the search."

The yamen servant still hesitated, "If this is the case, everyone will know about the trouble, and it will become a big trouble."

Looking for a child, the yamen does not receive such reports ten times or eight times a year.

Huajing waved his hand indifferently, "The official sent to handle the case, it's going to make a big fuss, let's go."

In case there is something strange about Kaitai's disappearance, he might not be able to find him if he doesn't make a big fuss.

I go!For a child who has no power or power, this is going to be a big fight. If the missing is the young master of a famous family, the news makes sense, a child of a herdsman's family.

The county lord really loves the people like a child.

The yamen servant curled his lips, and responded with orders to go down.

"Let's look for it too." After the yamen servant left, Lin Cheng turned to look at Huajing.

Huajing also thought about where Kaitai might have gone, looking for the sheep, and where the sheep was lost.

"Do you know how dangerous that place is?" Hua Jing worried, his face suddenly darkened, his expression was stern, and the cold air was pressing.

"Kaitai is not afraid, what are we afraid of." Lin Cheng said, "We are just looking for people, not making trouble."

"You also said just now that if he has a good or bad thing, the family will be over."

He spoke indignantly, and walked out.

Hua Jing's face turned pale when he heard that, and he reached out to stop him, but he couldn't stop him at all.

Even if Kaitai went to Wulipo, Wulipo had just experienced a big battle not long ago, and it was close to the border county, and it had never been stable.

Kaitai, a silly boy, lost his two sheep as soon as he lost them, and he was worth his life.

He said, "If you want to go, you can't go like this. You have to make arrangements in advance, how many people will you bring down, and who will you bring."

"It's enough for me alone." Lin Cheng dropped such a sentence.

Huajing was so angry that he choked, "This is not about you alone, it's about Kaiyin County, don't mess around."

Lin Cheng stroked his sleeves, and smiled at others, "I won't mess around, brother Hua, send more people to check slowly, let's see who finds Kaitai first."

Hua Jing looked puzzled and watched him walk away.
