The ancestor is here, she is here with space

"Who could it be?" the county magistrate muttered to himself.

The master shook his head: "I don't know either, but this matter must be investigated thoroughly."

The county magistrate nodded and said, "That's right, this matter must be investigated thoroughly, otherwise how can I report to my superiors?"

As he said this, he looked at his master and said, "I'll leave this matter to you. You must find out the truth as soon as possible!"

"Yes, I obey your command!" the lawyer replied quickly.

After the lawyer left, the county magistrate looked at the simple study and became angry again.

My own county magistrate's mansion was completely robbed, even the furnishings in the study disappeared. This is really a great shame and humiliation.

"This is outrageous!" The county magistrate slammed the table so hard that the teacups on the table jumped up. "Fortunately, the Second Prince was delayed by something in the capital, otherwise..."

The county magistrate was in a rage when he heard hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by the guards' announcement: "Sir, someone is coming from the capital!"

"What? Someone is coming from the capital?" The county magistrate was stunned, and the anger in his heart was instantly extinguished. He quickly stood up and walked to the door, only to see a guard standing outside the door, panting, obviously in a hurry.

"Hurry, come in!" the county magistrate urged hurriedly.

The guard nodded and turned away. After a while, he came in with a middle-aged man in a luxurious brocade robe.

The man had a dignified face, and there was an aura of authority between his brows, which showed that he was obviously of noble status.

"Your humble servant greets you, sir!" As soon as the county magistrate saw the visitor, he bowed immediately.

The middle-aged man nodded slightly as a return gesture, and then asked, "Mr. County Magistrate, I heard that a theft occurred here?"

When the county magistrate heard this, his heart suddenly tightened.

He did not dare to hide anything and immediately told the whole story in detail, of course he did not tell anyone about the tunnel.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned and said in a deep voice: "Someone actually dared to steal in the county governor's mansion. This is simply a blatant provocation to the court! County Governor, do you have any clues?"

The county magistrate shook his head and said bitterly: "I am incompetent and have not found any clues yet. However, I have sent people to search everywhere and I believe that the traces of those thieves will be found soon."

"Well, that's great." The middle-aged man nodded and said, "By the way, I heard that the exiled prisoners from the General's Mansion are still in Changhan County?"

The middle-aged man's words made the county governor's heart skip a beat. He replied cautiously, "Yes, sir. The exiled prisoners from the general's mansion are indeed still in the post station in Changhan County. I wonder if your Excellency

Any instructions?"

"That's perfect!" A gleam of light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "I have three people here, just in time for them to go into exile with me."

"Ah?" The county governor didn't quite understand what the middle-aged man said, so he asked tentatively, "Sir, are you saying... that we want to send these three people from the capital to Bianyun Pass together with the exiled prisoners from the general's mansion?"

The middle-aged man nodded, with a meaningful smile on his face: "That's right. These three people have committed a crime and need to be exiled as a warning to others. And the people in the general's mansion can be considered their relatives. It would be great to have a companion on this journey!"

The middle-aged man's words made the county governor confused, so he asked, "Where are these three people now?"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and pointed his finger forward: "They are waiting for you at the gate of your house."

The county magistrate couldn't help but feel curious. Why were these three people not invited into the mansion but had to wait outside the door?

Full of doubts, he followed the middle-aged man through the winding corridors and walked towards the gate of the mansion step by step.

Finally, they arrived at the gate.

The county magistrate looked up and the scene in front of him made him open his eyes wide in shock.

There was only a dilapidated prison van parked there alone. The body of the van was mottled, the chains were rusty, and it looked extremely heavy.

"This...what on earth is going on?" asked the county magistrate in astonishment.

The middle-aged man sighed slightly and said, "These are the three people you were talking about."

The county magistrate looked at the prison van in astonishment, only to see three people sitting inside. Their clothes were tattered and their faces were haggard.

Especially the man, his face was as pale as paper and his body was covered with scars, obviously he had been cruelly punished.

His eyes were closed and he lay dying in the corner of the prison van.

The other two people, an old woman and a young woman, also had fatigue and despair written all over their faces.

The county magistrate could not help but ask, "What crime did these three people commit?"

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, then replied in a low and mysterious voice: "These three people were exiled to Bianyun Pass by order of the emperor himself."

After hearing this, the county magistrate was shocked. He wondered what kind of heinous crime the person had committed to be exiled by the emperor himself.

He tried hard to suppress his astonishment and asked cautiously, "May I ask, sir, what crime did these three people commit?"

The middle-aged man shook his head slightly, and seemed unwilling to say more about the crimes committed by these three people. He said in a deep voice: "This matter involves confidentiality, and it is not for us to ask. You just need to do what you should do."

The county magistrate nodded quickly and did not dare to ask any more questions.

"Send someone to take these three people to meet up with the exile team, and then have them set off immediately."

"Yes, yes, yes..." When the county magistrate agreed, he remembered the theft, "That... my house was stolen..."

"Mr. County Magistrate, as far as I know, the exiled criminal has been in your Changhan County for quite some time!"

The middle-aged man suddenly mentioned this matter, and the county magistrate was a little confused. He nodded blankly, "Yes... I have been here for several days."

"It's time to let them continue on their journey." The middle-aged man seemed to have seen what the county magistrate was thinking, and said calmly: "County magistrate, I will naturally send someone to investigate the theft in your house. However, the most important thing now is to safely deliver the exiled prisoners to Bianyun Pass. Other things can be put aside for the time being."

After hearing this, the county magistrate felt a little unwilling, but he also knew that the middle-aged man was right.

After all, it was impossible for someone who was exiled by the emperor himself to continue staying in Changhan County. That was not something he could afford.

He nodded quickly and said, "I'll send someone to prepare and have them set off as soon as possible."

The middle-aged man nodded slightly and left with satisfaction.

At the post station, seeing the three people sent by the county magistrate, they did not dare to be negligent and hurried forward to greet them.
