The Ma brothers were also guards brought by the wife of Hu County Magistrate. It can be seen that the wife Ma, who is thousands of miles away, is in a very good family. The ability of Hu County Magistrate can hold an important position is not unrelated to the wife of Ma. As for Mrs. Fan who can become the concubine of Hu County Ma, it is probably because the magistrate Hu was coming here. The wife Ma felt that she could not let her husband suffer, so she found someone.

When the Ma brothers came to Yuan'an County with the Magistrate Hu County, they were both single, but now they have married wives. The two brothers have also married a pair of local sisters. This is also a happy event in the mansion. However, it is difficult for these sisters to marry here, so it is not easy for Che Mingde to doubt it.

Beyond them, there were a few servants and maids serving. After they arrived in Yuan'an County, they entered here to do things one by one. Although there were not many people, there were only six. Of course, if Sunxia was added, there would be seven people, but each of them needed to be eliminated one by one. Of course, there was also Mrs. Fan's younger brother, who was one year younger than her, who was openly helping County Magistrate Hu to work, but if others lived outside, it was difficult to guarantee that the people around him were evil cultivators. Moreover, Che Mingde had never denied that there might be more than one evil cultivator, so be careful in everything. Even if you really find the target, you would never act rashly, and you would not relax your vigilance.

After understanding these, Che Mingde did not exclude those who were not very suspicious based on his preliminary judgment. Instead, he decided to further understand and determine those who were not very suspicious. After all, if he changed to doing such a thing himself, the less suspicious the identity, the more conducive it would be to hide. Therefore, except for those who are very young, there are all suspicious ones.

Of course, because of his judgment, County Magistrate Hu asked Wanxia to serve him, but he did not refuse tactfully. After all, Wanxia was too young, and she was the first person to rule out the suspicion.

"Wanxia, ​​you just said that Mr. Hu's account room has some books on the customs and customs here. I wonder if I can ask him to borrow it for a look." Che Mingde asked after a walk around.

"Since Mr. Che proposed this, I think Mr. Hu would not refuse." Wanxia hesitated for a moment before answering.

Looking at her answer, it was obvious that Mr. Hu was not a very easy-to-talk person, but the more he did this, the more Che Mingde wanted to go and see it, so he also smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's go together."

Seeing that Che Mingde was going together, Wanxia seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and immediately led the way for Che Mingde.

In fact, the county government’s back yamen was not big, and Che Mingde had a rough idea of ​​the place after walking around, but he still left behind and asked her to lead the way.

When the account was reached, Che Mingde stood at the door and Wanxia knocked on the door.

"What's the matter?" The door of the account room opened quickly. A black-faced person who looked over thirties stuck his head out, but looking at Mr. Hu, he looked very fierce. He didn't look like a account room guy, but more like a butcher. No wonder Wanxia was a little scared.

"Mr. Hu, this is Mr. Che. He heard that you have some books on local customs and culture here, and you want to borrow them." Wanxia said in a low voice.

"Oh, it turns out that you are Mr. Che, wait a moment." Hu Neng, who had a black face, looked at it and then got in. Not long after, he took a few books and saw the somewhat worn-out books coming out. His hands were still trembling, and he seemed to be a little excited.

"Actually, these books themselves are a bit boring. Just don't feel bored." Hu Neng handed the book to Che Mingde and let out a low laugh, as if he wanted to hide his excitement.

Che Mingde took the book and said politely: "No, thank you Mr. Hu for borrowing it."

"You are welcome. Mr. Che is the son of Lord Che. He is an extraordinary person. Just look at it slowly. If you have any questions, please ask me." Mr. Hu smiled again with a black face, but perhaps because of his real appearance, he felt very fierce when he smiled.

Che Mingde was a little confused when he saw him like this, but no matter what, he finally had contact. When he looked like this, Wanxia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when the two of them left.

"Why, I think Mr. Hu is scary?" Che Mingde asked with a smile.

"Well, Mr. Hu looks a little fierce, although he is not bad." Wanxia explained shyly.

Che Mingde also smiled and continued to ask: "Mr. Hu can read these books, which means he is very knowledgeable."

"Well, the master sometimes praises him for being talented, but he suffers from his appearance." Perhaps he felt that he shouldn't be talking behind his back, Wanxia immediately covered her mouth after she said that.

"I won't tell you." Che Mingde also smiled.

Wanxia's face turned redder when she heard this, but she seemed to be closer to Che Mingde.

Che Mingde could see it, so he continued to ask: "Although Mr. Hu looks a bit fierce, he has married and had children, so his wife is not afraid of him, right?"

"This is true, Mrs. Hu is a decent woman, and her two children are very honest, and they are both decent people." After getting familiar with her, Wanxia said more.

"I haven't seen Mrs. Hu just now, and Mrs. Hu is also working in the mansion?" Che Mingde continued to ask.

"Of course, Mrs. Hu is still the cook in the mansion, and everyone listens to Mrs. Hu in the kitchen." Wanxia explained, and she seemed to have a good relationship with Mrs. Hu.

Che Mingde also smiled and said, "So that's the case, Mrs. Hu's cooking skills are good." Although it was a compliment, Che Mingde was even more convinced that the county magistrate Hu was actually still vigilant, and he was responsible for his family's diet when he came here to do things.

The two of them returned to the room as they spoke, and Che Mingde did not continue to ask. For him, he still didn't know Wanxia's identity. If he kept asking, he would inevitably not doubt the other party. It was enough to know so much.

When Che Mingde opened these books, he found that they all introduced the northwest style, as well as books about minerals and vegetation in the northwest area. Moreover, reading these books has been read many times, and there are even some places that obviously bring their own annotations, and some of them were left not long ago, which shows that the other party is not just reading these books.

Che Mingde was just looking for an excuse, but he became more and more devoted to reading these books. Before he knew it, it was noon, and Wanxia came to ask himself for lunch before he came to his senses from the books.

Lunch was eaten with Mrs. Fan, while Mr. Hu and others ate on the other side.

After Che Mingde finished eating, he ran to the door and waited for a while. After Mr. Hu finished eating, he took the initiative to step forward and said, "Mr. Hu, I borrowed your book to read in the morning. I don't understand some places. I don't know if the teacher has free time. I can answer one or two for the younger generation."
