Fence yard, thatched house, a few colorful feathered native chickens pacing in the yard.

This is a village on the outskirts of Beicheng, scattered with dozens of families, and from the small mound here, the camp of the guards at the foot of the mountain is faintly visible.

Lu Ning was in this fence courtyard at this time, sitting on a wooden pier, holding a clay bowl with a missing corner and drinking water.

On the wooden pier opposite, an old man with wrinkles on his face was a little uncomfortable half-squatting and half-sitting, although Lu Ning was dressed quite plainly, but the old man could also see that this young man who came to him with more than a dozen entourages to "beg for saliva" must be either rich or expensive.

The question of the young man is basically the new military master stationed in the old military village at the foot of the mountain, such as their "quartermaster" when he comes to trade with the villagers. Are there stragglers who disturb the people, etc.

The old man didn't know what the "quartermaster" the young man was talking about at first, and an entourage next to the young man explained for a long time, and the old man knew that it was the military master who called himself "the head of the baggage warehouse" who came to the village to buy eggs a while ago.

The old man said in his heart that the guy was a little fierce, but the price he gave was fair.

However, for this young man, naturally that guy is more fierce, he didn't mention it.

"The water here is not bad...... Lu Ning smacked his mouth, the southeast of Zhangzhou City is the Zhangshui River, but after the guards were stationed, a well was drilled on the side of the military camp, and the villagers here could also go to receive water, which was considered to be a benefit. In the past, the wells in the city were rarely used by these villagers because they were far away and it was not convenient to get in and out of the city.

However, the well has recently not allowed the villagers to approach, if there are villagers to fetch water, the guards use their own buckets to make water, and then pour it into the villagers' wooden barrels, this is also to prevent people from poisoning, during this time, naturally all aspects must be more guarded.

From the granary of Zhangzhou to the grain of the guard barracks, the examination is also extremely strict.

"This is all the blessing of the Tuodian Guard, and the little ones have eaten the well water!" Speaking of this, the old man showed gratitude, obviously not a fake.

Lu Ning bowed slightly, stood up and said, "Let's go, go to the barracks." ”

The four people who followed him were Big and Small Peach, Wang Jingxuan and Qian, and the remaining eight or nine Pu Dao Dianwei were outside the fence courtyard.

"Doctor Qian, over there in the barracks, the soup for clearing heat and detoxifying is all up to you." Lu Ning said with a smile to the Qian family.

Qian wears men's clothes, and many ladies like to change men's clothes when they go out, but Qian is different, except for at home recently, in and out of the state government, they are all wearing men's clothes.

Listening to Lu Ning's words, Qian bowed slightly, she was wearing men's clothes, but she was gentle and elegant.

Wang Jingxuan also smiled and bowed, as if Lu Ning's order was to order the two of them, and he also had a share in Madame's credit.

Donghai Gong likes to call his wife "doctor", which is the name of the staff of the medical doctor's subordinate in the medical hall, and the real identity of his wife is the county doctor, but Donghai Gong likes to shout, and no one dares to correct it.

Lu Ning walked out, and also pondered, in this Zhangzhou, it is necessary to prepare some heat-clearing and detoxification soup for the guards, and he also has some knowledge of herbal medicine, after all, he has been silent in the wild for several months for the task, and survival skills in the wild are even more compulsory, but with this Qian family, he has saved a lot of worry.

When the old man heard Lu Ning say that he was going to the barracks, he looked at Lu Ning in a daze, and when he saw Lu Ning turn around and wanted to go, he said in a trembling voice: "Lang Jun, Lang Jun is not the Duke of the East China Sea?" ……”

His voice was very low, and he didn't even make up his mind whether to call out the Duke of the East China Sea in his cringe, but Lu Ning heard it clearly, turned around and smiled: "It's Bengong, old man, don't worry, I won't come to disturb me often." ”

Knowing that he is in Zhangzhou, his reputation is not very good, and he is a foreigner, the Liu brothers are the parents and officials in the eyes of the people of Quanzhang Erzhou, and others are just that, for the old man, he can't really still look like he is extravagant, and he quickly told him to feel at ease.

But he didn't want to, the old man knelt down and hissed: "Donghai Gong, be the master for the small people, be the master for the small people!" ”

Lu Ning was slightly stunned and asked, "What grievances does the old man have?" ”

The old man kowtowed, wanting to say something, but under the excitement, he choked up and couldn't speak.

"You help me ask clearly!" Lu Ning glanced at Wang Jingxuan, and then said to the Qian family: "You go to the military camp first." ”

There are two Park Dao guards who accompany Qian to leave.

Lu Ning went back to the wooden pier and sat down, and Wang Jingxuan picked up the old man and whispered to him.

The old man's mood was not calm, he was in tears, talking something.

Lu Ning listened, frowning slightly.

The old man accused Cui Dahu, the village leader of the village, who seized his daughter-in-law, caused his daughter-in-law to throw herself into the river and died, and then killed his son.

However, the old man has no evidence, just suspects that his daughter-in-law, who was working as a pounding worker in Cui's house, suddenly committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, and then the next day, his son disappeared, and now it has been more than a year, and his life and death are uncertain.

The old man sued the official several times, but because he could not find his son's body, the case became unsolved.

But the old man was convinced that it must be Cui Dahu who occupied his daughter-in-law and killed his son, because after his daughter-in-law threw himself into the river, his son's face was gloomy and he didn't sleep all night, and he muttered that it must have been Cui Dahu who did it, and the next day, the son said that he would avenge his daughter-in-law, and then disappeared.

However, Cui Dahu has a prestige in this village, and this village is the origin of the Cui family, and more than half of the people in the village are surnamed Cui.

When the old man sued the official, he didn't dare to accuse Cui Dahu, but just said that his daughter-in-law threw himself into the river, the reason was unknown, and his son disappeared again, so he reported it to the official.

However, the old man's body is not as good as day by day, this matter is a knot in his heart that cannot be untied, late last night, he dreamed that his son came, telling him that there will be a noble person coming to the door today, asking the old man to help him redress his grievances.

When listening to the old man's story here, Wang Jingxuan shuddered, secretly glanced at Lu Ning, and then looked at the dim inner room of the grass house, and secretly said in his heart, all evils retreat! Retreat from all evils! The East China Sea is here, and the extravagance is all over the sky! Wait as fast as possible!

Lu Ning touched his nose, he naturally didn't believe in ghosts and gods, the old man was thoughtful, it was estimated that he often had this kind of dream, and today, it was just a coincidence.

The old man even said that this Cui Dahu is the nephew of the governor Shi Cui Zhuo, if he hadn't dreamed of his son yesterday, and today it happened that Donghai Gong could go to the door of his grass house, I am afraid that his son's grievances will really rot in his stomach forever.

Lu Ning frowned slightly, in fact, from Guanyuan and Song Dongxing, he could understand the power of the clan gate valve in the locality.

This Cui family, how can it not be another big family in Zhangzhou?

Although the previous dynasty had a system of avoiding origins, by the end of the Tang Dynasty, the law had already existed in name only, not to mention the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Cui Zhuo, Cui Zhuo.

The adjutant of the state department, it seems that Wang Linji is the most cronie of Liucongyuan, but Cui Zhuo, there is no doubt, should be the deepest and most difficult one to deal with in the city government.

But now is a troubled era where a lot of heroes are rising together, and there is fraud in the officialdom, so what's the matter?

The Liu's brothers can dominate this place, and why is it because they know how to be officials?

One force down ten, that's all!

However, how to win the hearts of the people of Quanzhang and Zhangzhou is the most important thing to worry about.
