I have to say that the bookstore that Village Chief Wu selected for Wu Bai is really good. It is the largest bookstore in Nanping Town. The atmosphere inside is very good. There are comfortable seats on both sides against the wall for people to sit and read in the bookstore. The remaining two walls are used to place counters on one side, and many desks are arranged on the other side for students to copy books here. , while exchanging the books you need.

Although the whole bookstore is big and there are quite a lot of people in it, the environment is very quiet, and no one is making a loud noise in it.

.I heard that there is a table in the back of the bookstore. Every once in a while, there will be a knowledge contest. The winner can get a book from the bookstore for free. All the same, being able to get a book for free is a treasure for those students.

Wu Bai strolled around the bookstore and found that there were still many notices posted at the counter. Those were various notices that the bookstore sent people to copy from the yamen every day, and were specially displayed to the students who came to the bookstore for discussion. These notices were classified into many categories. , there are various cases of analysis, as well as the analysis of local people's conditions, as well as various documents issued by the court and so on.

Because the behind-the-scenes owner of this bookstore is the magistrate of the county, this is a matter that many people in the town are aware of, so it is not surprising that these things appear in this bookstore.

.The current magistrate of Qinghuai County is very popular among the local people. Since he came to Qinghuai County, he has indeed done a lot of practical things for the local people. Views.

There was a murder case in Qinghuai County before. The magistrate couldn't catch the murderer, so he couldn't do anything. He wrote the murder case on the notice. After a student saw the notice, he immediately discovered the flaw in the murder case, and finally helped the county magistrate solve the murder case and caught the murderer.

.The county magistrate did not take credit either. He truthfully reported the names of the people who contributed to the case. In the end, the student who helped solve the case was directly recommended to go to the Fucheng Student Supervisor, which was envied by many students at that time. , of course, the magistrate has also received the above praise, as long as he has worked here for three years without making any mistakes, then at the end of the three-year period, he will definitely have a chance to rise one liter.

As for the county magistrate, who also tasted the sweetness in this incident, he said that three cobblers topped one Zhuge Liang, not to mention the learned people in Qinghuai County, so he got them in the bookstores he opened. A bulletin board is to hope that some students can help him solve difficulties together.

Not to mention, since he got this, the efficiency of his work has greatly improved. In the assessment of the first two years, he was excellent every time.

.After Wu Bai saw this bulletin board, he understood the plan of the magistrate at a glance, because although his husband was once the prime minister, he had also been a junior official. Fang's calculations, Xiao Zimo, in order to prevent his little husband from accidentally following other people's tricks, so he analyzed and explained to Wu Bai a lot about his official affairs and the situation of various forces in the court.

So Wu Bai synthesized the information he had heard in his heart, and figured out that the county magistrate would be promoted to leave Qinghuai County at the end of May tomorrow, that is, after the township examination next year.

In this way, if Brother Wu can be admitted to the juren in next year's township examination, then Brother Wu will have a great chance to be directly replaced by the juren as county magistrate.

Thinking of this, Wu Bai felt more pressure on himself.

.But just as his husband's mantra is often on his lips, "there is no motivation without pressure".

Wu Bai immediately bought paper from the bookstore counter, borrowed pen and ink, and then leaned in front of the counter and started copying the announcements.

Because Father Wu gave Wu Bai pocket money before he left, Wu Bai had the change to rent pen and ink from the bookstore at the moment.

Wu Bai wholeheartedly copied all kinds of useful information on the bulletin board, so he didn't notice a carriage passing by the door of the bookstore. Man, the man sat on the carriage and stopped in his direction for a while, then ordered the driver to set up the carriage and leave.

.When Wu Bai found out that someone was looking at him, he looked at the source of his sight and saw only the rear of a carriage, and no one was looking at him. Wu Bai shook his head and thought to himself: he is really It's a bit dizzy to copy these things!

When Village Chief Wu returned to the bookstore after finishing his work, Wu Bai had almost finished copying it, but the ink on the last two sheets of paper had not been dried yet. Village Chief Wu did not ask him whether he was bored. Brother is literate, this bookstore is so big, and some of them are scriptures, so he will definitely not be bored. He just regrets that he didn't take Wu Bai around town more.

The sun in the sky gradually slanted westward. After the father and son waited for a while, the ink on the paper that Wu Bai had copied was finally dry. He folded the paper he had copied, held it in his hand, and followed Father Wu out of the bookstore.

.Father Wu is literate, so he naturally saw what Wu Bai copied, but he didn't ask his little brother what he did in copying those announcements. As long as his little brother didn't do bad things, copying something was nothing.

The two walked in the direction of the college, as their bullock cart was still in the college stables.

Because the school's dismissal time was approaching, the father and son were walking, and they said that they would wait for the second brother Wu to go home together in an ox cart.

After Father Wu and Wu Bai returned to the academy, they went to the stable where they placed the ox cart in the morning, but found that the cart was gone.

No, it should be said that the car was unloaded, but it was still there, but the cow was gone.

.The two were shocked. This cow was borrowed from a villager's house. It would be a shame to lose it. This kind of thing is a huge amount of property in a farmer's family. If someone else can lend it to them, it depends on the fact that Father Wu is the head of the village. For the sake of it, now that the cow was gone, Father Wu was in a hurry. It wasn't that the Wu family couldn't afford to pay the cow's money, but after the cow's money was paid, the Wu family must be hurt.

Father Wu had some doubts that he had misremembered the location. He checked back and forth in the stable and found that his location was absolutely correct, and the unloaded car was the proof, but when he checked, he also found The other cows in the stable were not the ones he had come from in the morning at all.

.Because there are not many people raising cattle in Xingfeng Village, there are only two or three households. When the farming is busy, the villagers have to borrow cattle from each other. Naturally, the Wu family also borrowed cattle, and the village chief Wu usually needs to go to the town for urgent matters. Or when the county went to do it, he would borrow an ox cart from the villagers. He could even say what the ox in the village looked like. He remembered it clearly.

At this moment, the cow was gone, and Village Chief Wu was anxious.

Wu Bai didn't expect such a thing to happen either. He took a closer look at the ropes on the rack of the ox cart and found that these things didn't look like they were worn away by the ox and then ran out.

He came to the side gate of the academy and asked the gatekeeper, "Uncle, the cow in my stable has disappeared. Have you ever seen anyone leading the cow out?"

.The uncle who guarded the gate heard Wu Bai's question, his eyes flickered, and he said, "I haven't seen any cows going out. The cows in the academy usually only go out in the afternoon. How can your cows disappear? Have you ever looked for it in there?"

When Wu Bai saw the other party's appearance, he knew that the other party must not tell the truth. He was about to ask again when he heard a voice behind him: "Dad, little brother, are you waiting for me to go home together?"

Father Wu was feeling uncomfortable at the moment, his head was downcast, and he was not in the mood to answer Wu Kangan's words.

."Second brother, I originally planned to wait for you at the ox cart to go home with you after school, but when we came, we found that the ox was gone, and there was only a carriage frame left. Could you ask the student's master to help? Let's look for it together. We have searched all over the stables and couldn't find it. I asked the uncle at the gate just now, and he said that he didn't see any cows going out, so I guess the cows may have accidentally broken into the classroom where you are studying. On the other hand, I think it is better to find it as soon as possible, so as not to frighten the students of the college." Wu Bai came to Wu Kangan one by one.

When Wu Kangan heard Wu Bai said that the cow had been lost, he was too anxious, but when he heard the younger brother said that he should tell the masters of the academy about the matter, find the cow as soon as possible, so as not to disturb others, he felt that the younger brother was right, so he immediately He nodded, turned and walked towards the classroom.

.He was in a hurry, so he didn't notice that when Wu Bai mentioned telling the master of the academy, the gatekeeper's face turned blue.

Wu Bai naturally noticed it. He just felt that there was something wrong with this person's eyes flashing, so when he was talking to Wu Kangan, he paid special attention to this person's face, and he really found something wrong.

It's just that he has no evidence. He doesn't know if this person stole the cow, or if the other party saw who took the cow away, but, no matter what, the other party must know something.

Thinking of this, Wu Bai decided to give the other party a chance, so he asked the other party again: "Uncle, think about it again and see if you can think of anything. If we can successfully find our cattle, our family will be well. Thank you for your?"

.The uncle who guarded the door looked at Wu Bai's clear and transparent eyes, as if he had understood everything. His heart panicked for a moment, but he quickly stabilized his mind and said in his heart, "It's just a stinky little brother." That's all, I haven't seen anyone before, so would I still be fooled by him?

So, the uncle who guarded the door immediately shook his head and replied again: "I'm sorry, I really haven't seen your cow go out, maybe I thought you just said, I accidentally ran over to the classroom, Look for more!" .
