The wharf was densely packed with boatmen and porters, and an unusually busy scene came into view.

Seeing this, Liu Yuxuan thought to himself in his heart: "Since ancient times, this area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang has been a place where soldiers must fight, just because this is a rich and prosperous place, which can provide endless money to the imperial court. That Liu Ziang and Chen Deyong will also fight here and compete. At that time, I wonder how many more people will suffer! At that time, this lush land will be covered in bruises and unrecognizable! ”

Thinking of such a possibility, he couldn't help but feel gloomy in his heart.

Everyone slowly entered the city with the flow of people, but saw that although there were soldiers guarding the city gate, it was not rigorous, and they couldn't help but secretly become suspicious.

Li Tiancheng pulled Liu Yuxuan over and whispered to him, "It's too easy to enter here. But I don't know if it's Liu Ziang's negligence, or if there is some conspiracy and calculation? ”

Liu Yuxuan looked around, and saw that above the market, whether it was a small trader or a pedestrian, they all looked leisurely and complacent, so he shook his head and said, "I don't think that's the case, but it's because it's always been like this here." I'm curious about the prefect here! I don't know what this person looks like, in this troubled world, the people here are still living and working in peace and contentment, and they are not affected in the slightest! ”

That night, they rested in the shop and sat together to discuss things.

Liu Yuxuan raised the question in his heart, and that Duan Chunning nodded with a smile, and then interjected: "The governor here is called Tie Rong, who was originally an old minister of Da Chen.

This person used to be at the top of the high school rankings back then, but because of his weak temperament. was unwilling to stand on top of the court and intrigue with those Beijing officials, so he took the initiative to invite Ying to come here. Made a small prefectural order. But in just three years, it has been praised by the local people, and the governance there is in an orderly manner, changing the previous chaos.

In this way, he was favored by Emperor Xuanzong and promoted to the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. After Liu Ziang changed the dynasty, he did not follow any loyal ministers and did not matter to the two masters. On the contrary, he easily agreed to Liu Ziang's Zhao'an, but asked to stay here and still be his own prefect. ”

"Oh, so to speak. This person is not a pedantic person, but should be a good official who is dedicated to the welfare of the people! ”

Liu Yuxuan was amazed, and he already had a plan in his heart.

"In that case, we might as well visit him tomorrow!"

I heard him say something suddenly. Everyone was stunned.

Liu Yuxuan saw everyone's stunned eyes. said with a smile: "I expect that Liu Ziang and Chen Deyong will soon go on a killing spree to fight for this place, and at that time, this place will no longer be heaven, but hell." Let's go meet him for a while and see how he copes! ”

On the second day, Liu Yuxuan originally only wanted to take Li Tiancheng and Duan Chunning to go, but Chen Xinrou and Du Chunxiao were not worried about him going, so they had to take Du Chunxiao with them.

The four of them were deliberately dressed simply and simply. It doesn't seem to attract the attention of outsiders, so I say goodbye to everyone. Go to the official residence of the prefect of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Before I arrived at the door of the official mansion, I saw a group of people making noise and fighting together. And the rest of the people on the street, none of them went over to watch the excitement, which made Liu Yuxuan and the others feel incredible.

Liu Yuxuan casually approached a small stall, pretending to be curious and asked the stall owner: "May I ask this uncle, there is clearly a lively scene to see, but why don't you see everyone to watch?" Could it be that the people here are too weak? ”

The stall owner frowned, looked at Liu Yuxuan with disdain, shook his head and smiled: "As soon as I heard it, I knew that this son must be an outsider." If we have any dispute here, and we have our own government to settle it, why do we people need to go and watch? It's interesting to watch the excitement, but it's not a huge loss to watch there, blocking the market and hindering others from traveling, and delaying business transactions? ”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, they couldn't imagine that a small stall owner had such knowledge, it seems that the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are really extraordinary.

As if he could see what everyone was thinking, the stall owner said, "Don't be surprised, it's all due to Lord Tierong's orderly. If it weren't for our Lord Tierong's clear order for many years, so that we strictly follow the laws and regulations, I am afraid that in previous years, if there is excitement, it will be a mess! ”

Seeing his admiring expression, everyone had a good impression of this Tie Rong in their hearts.

At this time, a team of elite soldiers poured out of nowhere, and the few people who had been entangled and fighting suddenly let go and rushed forward.

The first leader asked in a loud voice: "If you can't settle the dispute on your own, please go to the government office on your own, how can you fight in the streets here?" It is already a violation of the law to disturb the people in this way, so why don't you quickly go to the government with us to ask for guilt? ”

These people immediately obediently followed these soldiers into the palace.

Liu Yuxuan motioned to everyone, and as a group of people mixed into the mansion, he stood far away from the threshold of the lobby, ready to take a closer look. And there is also a wooden sign here, on which are written with two large characters of "hearing" with an ink pen.

Above the market, there were really idle people, curious about what was going on, and stood quietly here to listen.

The men were brought into the lobby and fell to their knees, waiting for questioning.

After a while, a person slowly walked out from behind the screen on the right side of the hall, wearing a four-grade official hat and a purple official mansion, which neither looked like a Da Chu official uniform nor a Da Chen official hat.

This person has a white complexion, long eyebrows and fine eyes, his eyes are always slightly slit, his forehead is high, his nose is high, and he looks like he is only about forty, very kind, but there is a natural majesty all over his body, which makes the people in the lobby immediately awe and silent.

Liu Yuxuan secretly admired this person's good looks, unconsciously pricked up his ears, held his breath, and listened quietly.

The leader stepped forward, bowed and saluted, "Lord Tie, these people were fighting noisily in front of the mansion just now, and I have brought them here to wait for your lordship." ”

Hearing this, Tie Rong nodded slightly, looked at the people below, and asked loudly: "How many of you, who is the plaintiff and who is the defendant?" ”

"I'm the plaintiff, he's the defendant!"

Unexpectedly, the three kneeling people in this hall spoke at the same time, but they all looked angry and dejected.

"Oh, don't fight, say it one by one. You, and tell the ins and outs of the matter to the official first! ”

Tie Rong was not agitated, but stretched out his hand and pointed at the short and fat man in the middle.

The man kowtowed and said loudly: "Lord Tie, the villain's surname is Meng Mingsheng, and he is the chief of Xiaomeng Village. Both of them are villagers from our village. The person on the left is called Meng Wei, and the person on the right is called Meng Yu, who were originally two brothers who were close relatives, and they worked for the family to work on the fields and serve their father. Last year, my mother died, leaving my elderly father, but he also did his best to serve the elderly. (To be continued.) )
