The Zhujia Hotel outside the West Gate of Yishui County has been doing a boom recently, and for no other reason, his shop now sells authentic five-grain pulp and all kinds of canned food.

The shopkeeper is called Zhu Fu, and it is Li Da who purchases and escorts the goods.

Zhu Fu sold authentic five-grain pulp and all kinds of canned food thanks to his elder brother, Zhu Gui, the leader of Liangshanbo, and of course he couldn't do without Song Jiang's support.

Li Da is Li Kui's elder brother, living in Baizhang Village with his mother, and originally worked for Li Dahu in the village, and his life was stretched. Since the last time Song Jiang and Li Kui gave him silver, his family's life has changed a lot, Li Da has done a small business, and he married a lady, and the family of three has lived a sweet life.

Now, under Song Jiang's deliberate arrangement, Li Da and Zhu Fu are partners in the Zhu Hotel, Zhu Fu is the main house, Li Da is the main outside, the business is smooth for a while, and the two families are quickly running to a well-off life.

The shopkeeper Zhu Fu's face is always outlined in spring, the smile on his face looks more real than other people's birthmarks, no one has ever seen him sad, and some people speculate that he must be like laughing when he cries. Customers love his hospitality, so his hotel is small but business is surprisingly thriving. Zhu Fu likes to dance with guns and sticks, and the tiger and tiger dance with a knife are vigorous, and five or six men can't get close. But Zhu Fu is not the master of bullying, if someone thinks he is easy to bully, it is wrong, his fists will not laugh, and you will be looking for teeth all over the ground. But even if it was a fight, he also had a signature smile on his face, and over time, the name of "Smiling Tiger" Zhu Fu spread all over Yishui.

Li Yun, the head of the county government, is righteous, has a good ability, and is fierce in fighting, because his eyes are as green as Hu people, and he is nicknamed "blue-eyed tiger". He is Zhu Fu's martial arts master and a frequent visitor to the Zhu Hotel, and since the sale of Wuliang Pulp, Li Yun has come to drink two cups almost every day. Li Yun liked this apprentice very much, so he worked the teaching of martial arts.

On this day, Li Yun came to the Zhu Hotel again, but today's purpose was not to drink, but to resolve a grievance - a conflict between Cao Wenhao, the son of Cao Taigong, and Zhu Fu.

Cao Taigong's name is Jin, he once worked as a clerk in Yishui County, and when he was in office, he was indiscriminate in the township, extremely greedy, and accumulated countless floating wealth. Later, the new magistrate of the county was honest and despised him, so he took the opportunity to dismiss him. After returning to his hometown, he met dozens of indiscriminate people who were afraid of bluffing his neighbors, as if he was a tyrant in Yiling.

Cao Wenhao's son inherited his father's nature, and naturally regarded himself as a little bully, flying eagles and running dogs on weekdays, and treating the countryside as a hunting ground. He was used to being arrogant, so he regarded Yishui as nothing, and he didn't give money after eating at the Zhu Hotel, which annoyed Zhu Fu and beat him to pieces. He threatened to gather good hands in three days and come to the Zhujia Hotel.

Li Yun was slowly promoted from a servant to the head of the capital, relying on practical skills, and he hated opportunism the most. When Cao Jin was in office, he couldn't get used to the kind of tricks that bullied the township, and today he saw that Cao Wenhao actually bullied his apprentice, so he naturally wanted to stand up for him.

Cao Wenhao came prepared today, it seems that he has already found out the news that Li Yun has come out for Zhu Fu, and he is ready to have both civil and military skills.

Cao Wenhao came to the store, and the big lama sat opposite Li Yun, ignoring Li Yun, and as soon as he made his eyes look at his master Wu Limao, he came forward and said: "Zhu Fu, you injured my son-in-law for no reason, we are here to collect debts, say, is it official or private?" ”

Zhu Fu said with a smile on his face: "No reason? Don't distort the facts here, it was Cao Wenhao who took the lead, and I am self-defense! Lidu is on my side, and you are in charge of your official affairs! ”

Wu Limao sneered: "You have a reason to beat people, don't think that someone in the yamen supports you, we are afraid of you, my lord has also been an official in the yamen, he has a friendship with the county master, and the person who supports you will not be able to cover you when the time comes!" ”

Saying that, he squinted at Li Yun, and saw that Li Yun was drinking quietly, and he thought that Li Yun was a little scared, and then said: "For the sake of Yishui County, our son-in-law is not as knowledgeable as you, you compensate the hotel to my son-in-law, and the grievances will be written off." ”

Zhu Fu laughed and said: "Your appetite is too big, you are not afraid of dying, I said that you will compensate Caojiazhuang to me, do you agree?" ”

Wu Limao immediately showed a tricky face, he stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Fu and said: "A country wild shop, my son-in-law is not rare, go to see the official!" ”

Zhu Fu was so angry that he shook his arm and Wu Limao sat down on the ground.

Wu Limao shouted: "Beat someone!" Zhu Fu beats people! ”

Immediately, seven or eight big men came over to make a move on Zhu Fu, Li Yunbi glared at him, and said sharply: "Who dares!" ”

Immediately the men looked at each other and did not dare to move forward.

Cao Wenhao only spoke at this time, he got up and said in a strange manner: "It turned out to be Li Dutou, just to give us a witness, Zhu Fu committed murder and beating, you can call the shots for us!" ”

Li Yundao: "Cao Gongzi is scheming, bullying everyone is high-sounding, it seems that you have learned your father's tricks, and the son of a mouse is really good at making holes!" ”

Cao Wenhao choked enough with one sentence, and he held back his anger and said: "Dutou is also a character with a head and a face, do you think it's worth it to stand up for a villager?" ”

"I'm here to treat lawbreakers like you, as long as I, Li Yun, am the head of the day, I won't let go of the dogs who oppress my neighbors!"

Li Yun snorted and said: "What else do you say has a head and a face, I see that your Cao family has a head, and we can't find the face there!" ”

Cao Wenhao's face turned purple with anger, and he said angrily: "I don't believe that you are lawless, I must be fair today and pull Zhu Fu to the yamen for me!" The slaves immediately flocked to Zhu Fu.

Li Yun couldn't help it for a long time, and before Zhu Fu could make a move, he rushed in with a tiger roar. Seeing this, Zhu Fu was afraid that the master would suffer, so he also punched and kicked, and the servants were scattered after a while. Cao Wenhao sneered: "As the head of the capital, he actually hurt people, I don't believe that there is no reason, I will see you in the two counties!" ”

Li Yun laughed and said: "The little thing of the Cao family, you want to trap me in this little trick, and you also underestimate my blue-eyed tiger." I've been in the yamen for a few years, and I still have some understanding of your Lao Tzu's tricks, so don't even think about leaving any of them since you're here! ”

He shouted, "Someone! Cao Wenhao robbed slaves, and was suspected of attacking the head of the capital, so I was arrested! ”

Immediately, four officials came out of the back room and held chains to detain the Cao family. The hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, Cao Wenhao suddenly showed a smile and said: "Li Dutou, I don't know these people, what they do has nothing to do with me, you can't arrest me!" ”

Li Yundao: "Then I won't arrest Cao Gongzi, but today you are a witness, go back to the government to testify against us, take it away!" ”

Cao Wenhao is helpless, this guy doesn't eat soft and hard, and his brain is quite flexible, it seems that I underestimate him.

The magistrate of Yishui County changed his previous honest style, and after hearing and seeing, he gradually liked the silver of white flowers, but he had not yet collected money to the point of being shameless. In other words, he still has a bottom line, he does not forcibly ask for bribes, nor does he sell the interests of his colleagues to satisfy his own selfish desires. In a word, he only took the part of peace of mind, on the surface he was still a Qing official, and "three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver" was his goal.

Cao Jin saw that his son was arrested, so he went to the county government with the silver, and wanted to suppress Li Yun, but who knew that the county lord would accept the money and not do anything. praised Li Yun, returned the reward, gave Cao Wenhao a severe lecture, fined him silver, and released him for a few days. In the voice of the blue sky lord, the magistrate showed a satisfied smile.

From then on, Cao Jin hated Zhixian and Li Yun even more.
