Excerpt from "Liu Wei'er's Notes", recorded on December 11, the fourth year of Yuankang:

Zheng Yu'an and Wang Shumeng quickly found out the situation, and nearly forty households signed a contract with a person named Liu Zhong and became the servants of Liu Zhong's master's family.

Of these 40 households, there are more than 10 households in the south of the debt, more than 10 families in Wutian, and a few households in other villages. Moreover, Liu Zhong's approach is to "cast a wide net and catch more fish", and the promised benefits have moved many people. It's just that more people are still hesitating.

Villagers said that Liu Zhong claimed that he was from the Liu clan in Nanyang.

This branch of the Liu family, is the son of Liu Fa, the king of Changsha in the former Han Dynasty, the descendant of Liu Dan, the Marquis of Anzhongkang, the contemporary head of the family is named Liu Ji, is the youngest son of Liu Hui in the Wei State of the previous dynasty, and is over seventy years old this year.

Liu's biggest reliance now is Liu Qiao, who worships Shangshu Youcheng, who is an important position in the court and has a lot of power.

Moreover, Liu Qiao once followed Wang Rong, the secretary of the ministry, to conquer the state of Wu, and made military exploits, and then served as a county commander, and then became a prince to wash horses. When Yang Jun was killed a few years ago, he made another meritorious service, he was named the Marquis of Guannei, and at the same time, he was also promoted to the official position of Shangshu Youcheng.

Back then, Liu Xuan, and now Liu Qiao, Nanyang Liu is not a top gate valve, but it is much stronger than Zheng.

In addition, now that Liu Ji, the head of the Liu family, is old, there are mainly three people in the Liu family, Liu Wan, Liu Zhen, and Liu Wu.

Liu Zhong should be Liu Wu's subordinate.

……

Zheng Sheng was so anxious, his head was about to explode!

There is no news of people who go to Sunjiayi, and there is such a big thing in Wanquan Town!

Although the Zheng family and the Nanyang Liu family do not have much contact, the Liu family will not do such dirty things to make enemies with the Zheng family.

It is not worth it to turn against a family that is on the rise in order to encroach on those hundreds of acres of land. And this practice is also despised.

If things are not reasonable, there are hidden secrets that they don't know.

But no matter what kind of secret there is, Liu still did it, and he was ruthless.

Zheng can only accept the recruitment.

Zheng Yu'an, Wang Shumeng and others quarreled, and Sanquan Hall was also inconsistent, and did not discuss a proper solution.

In the following two days, Wang Ruan, who went to Sunjiayi, received a reply, but it was not good news. When Wang Ruan and the others arrived there, the Deng County Government had already blocked the entire Sunjiayi. If it weren't for the presence of Xinye's subordinates, they wouldn't have been able to see the county magistrate Deng at all.

However, seeing County Magistrate Deng didn't help. The county magistrate was very tight-mouthed and did not tell them any truth.

"But the words 'the thief has fled and are still searching' are perfunctory."

And on the side of Wanquan Town, Wan Yun and others set up a strategy that was reprimanded by Zheng Yu'an as unrealistic and chaotic, and they actually arrested Liu Zhong, the "thief of the land".

It was a strange thing to catch him so easily.

But Liu Zhong, who was caught, was simply a hot potato, which was difficult to deal with. And Liu Zhong was also tight-lipped, just admitting his origins and never saying anything about what he was here for.

The matter of Wanquan Town made Zheng Wen, who was originally going to Sunjiayi, also hurry over.

But Zheng Wen only joined the ranks of discussions with everyone, and did not make the slightest contribution to the handling of the matter. However, after Zheng Wen arrived, he urged Zheng Sheng to hurry up and receive the deed in his hand, and also completed the incomplete deed before.

They have to prepare for a head-to-head battle with the Liu family!

The discussion could not reach a conclusion, Zheng Sheng realized the problem, and in recent years, he has implemented "three stinkers, beating Zhuge Liang" in the Zheng family, thinking of relying on the wisdom of many people to deal with all the problems.

There are some minor troubles, and they can indeed be easily dealt with by the elites. But when it comes to big things, they have different ways of doing things, and they prefer different solutions. They argued, and things came to a standstill.

He needs a wise "military advisor" to cut through the fog for him, and he also needs the courage to make a decision!

However, at this time, someone from the Liu family came.

Liu Wu, Liu Wu, who is in charge of business, arrived in person. Whether it is because of attention, or because he wants to have a weighty person to suppress the Zheng family at once, or for other reasons. In short, Liu Wu came to Wanquan Town.

This is a very sincere visit. Its weight is equivalent to Zheng Wen going to negotiate with other families.

The identity of the person who came was not small, but Zheng Sheng did not want to meet him at the negotiation table. Zheng Sheng didn't want to be with people, and Zheng Wen was also worried that Zheng Sheng wouldn't be able to control his temper, so he messed up what he could do.

The negotiations lasted three days.

On the first day, Liu Wu and Zheng Wen had a very happy conversation, and in the evening, Zheng Wen set up a banquet and chatted with him even more happily.

At the banquet, Zheng Wen quietly told Zheng Sheng that Liu Wu had a good attitude and things were developing in a good direction: the "misunderstanding" between Zheng and Liu could be resolved.

Zheng Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, Liu Wu was actually bedridden, and his excuse was: He drank too much last night.

Zheng Sheng felt that things were not good, and Liu Wu's sincerity seemed to be mixed with other things.

On the third day, Zheng Sheng, who was not at ease, hid behind the wall and eavesdropped on the conversation between Zheng Wen and Liu Wu. Whenever Zheng Wen led the topic to the field dispute, Liu Wu always turned a deaf ear and talked about him left and right. As a visitor, this "celebrity and celebrity" is only willing to talk about some things that are clear and clear.

Zheng Sheng suddenly realized that this Liu Wu should be a cover. He came to Wanquan Town, not to make peace with the Zheng family, he had no good intentions.

Zheng Sheng quietly exited the room, he thought about it in the courtyard for a while, and made a decision.

He returned to Sanquan Hall, gathered everyone, and took out the things he had prepared earlier.

"The Liu family came, but they didn't feel good. In that case, you're welcome. Wang Jun and Wan Yun, you bring the deed and go to Shunyang with Zheng Yu'an to find my brother Zheng Qing. ”

"Let's go to Wancheng." Zheng Sheng shook off the other pile of paper in his hand, "It should be ours, no one wants to snatch it!" ”

Zheng Wen and Liu Wu walked out of the lobby hand in hand with a smile, Zheng Sheng looked at them with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he noticed the helplessness and anxiety in Zheng Wen's expression, and suddenly noticed Liu Wu's indifferent smugness.

However, the two looked at Zheng Sheng in surprise at the same time.

"Mr. Liu, please go back! Because, in a few days, we may have to meet at the county government hall in Wancheng. Zheng Sheng said with a smile.

The indifference on Liu Wu's face disappeared, he looked at Zheng Sheng in surprise, and then looked at Zheng Wen: "Zheng Shizi, why do you say this?" ”

Zheng Wen also widened the small eyes on his fat face and looked at him in shock.

Zheng Sheng stretched out his hand behind his back and showed the two of them a stack of paper full of handwriting: "Deed, the deed of my Zheng family and the people of Wutian and Lunan villages to reclaim wasteland in the jurisdiction of Champion County." This deed proves the illegality of the deed signed privately between you Liu and them. I want to sue you to the Nanyang County Government! ”

Liu Wu pursed his slightly open mouth fiercely, and said viciously: "Zheng Shizi, do you know what you are doing?" ”

Zheng Sheng smiled: "Of course, it's just a tear of the skin!" ”
