It has been two days since Chu Shouren returned home, and in the past two days, Jin Hong and others have basically visited this Chu County, seen a lot and heard a lot, anyway, when asked about the county order of Chu County, everyone gave the same answer, and they all said that the county order of Chu County was a good official.

Jin Hong scratched his head, and exchanged glances with Yan Changfeng and Li Yu who were walking beside him helplessly, sure enough, everyone understands people, this city and countryside, there are many ruins and broken walls, it is obviously caused by a long time of repair, and the county is better, although it is not as terrifying as Liu Ru is five out of ten, but two out of ten is definitely there, and the phenomenon of desertion in rural villages is even more serious, and it has basically reached five out of ten.

If so, it's a good official...... Hum! It seems that the people of Chu Shou control the mouths of the people of Chu County very strictly!

Before leaving, Jinhong went to the household department to check the latest population statistics of Chu County before the disaster last year, with a total of 1,769 households, and the post-disaster statistics also took a look at it by the way, totaling 1,752 households.

It is normal for them to lose their lives in a disaster year, they may have been severely affected by the disaster, they may have lost their lives, or they may have fled to other places to avoid disasters, as long as this figure does not exceed the range of losses stipulated by the imperial court, the imperial court will not hold the magistrate responsible.

However, if the number of people lost exceeds this range, then according to the size of the damage data, the local magistrates in the disaster areas will be dismissed from their posts at least or sent to prison for questioning and beheading, and the purpose of this is naturally to urge the local officials in the disaster areas to actively do a good job in disaster prevention and relief, and this has indeed achieved good results.

Therefore, before Jinhong came, he was actually skeptical of what Liu Ru said in his heart, but when he entered Chu County, he saw the bark of the new trees that had not yet grown, and the sparse green shoots on the ground, that Jin Hong completely believed Liu Ru is .

It is not uncommon for people to lie about the disaster and the loss of households over the years, but as long as it is found out in the end, none of them have good fruits to eat, and Jinhong did not expect that under such a severe punishment by the imperial court, there are still people who are in danger.

Just returned from the countryside, Yan Changfeng and Li Yu felt that there was no need to collect any more evidence, and Chu Shouren could severely punish him if he lied about the loss of households after the disaster, but Jin Hong was thinking about another thing in his heart.

The three-story tower, after two days of wandering, Jinhong also figured out the specific location of the tower, which is in the county office, so he wants to go and see when he is going to see it.

A group of people came to the gate of the city to prepare to enter the city, today the city guards are not lazy, but look at their attitude is very casual, hang Lang Lang looked at one after another from the door of the newcomers, check or not, ask whether to ask or not depends on their own mood.

Because the three of them went to the countryside to visit, they did not wear ribbon silk, but wore the linen clothes of ordinary people, but even so, these rough clothes worn on Yan Changfeng and Li Yu could not hide their natural beauty, although there was less of the luxury of everyone's ladies, but there was more of the delicate beauty of the small jasper, and the men who passed by them did not turn their eyes to them.

Jin Hongwu was thinking about things while walking in front of him, while Yan Changfeng and Li Yu followed behind and chatted privately, not paying attention to the eyes of passers-by.

Just when Jin Hong had already walked out of the city gate cave, he suddenly felt a sudden burst of extremely martial energy and a panicked roar from behind him, and hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see Yan Changfeng protecting Li Yu behind him, five steps away from him, there were three errand officers looking at them unkindly, and in the distance, there was a pain-looking officer lying on the ground, covering his abdomen with his hands, constantly curling up and tossing, wailing and crying.

"Bold sluts, in broad daylight, dare to commit murder, can you be convicted?" The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in his thirties, and judging by the clothes he was wearing, he was wearing a different clothes from the other three, and he should be the leader of this group of officials.

This person's face is quite kind and upright, if there is no such thing in front of him, Jin Hong and Yan Changfeng will definitely think that he is a good person, but now it seems that it is a pity that the skin!

Li Yu hid behind Yan Changfeng, but she didn't feel scared in her heart, but was quite surprised, she didn't expect that Yan Changfeng, who looked as slender as her in front of her, actually had such a strong extreme martial arts cultivation, just one kick, let the errand who wanted to make a move to tease her fly away.

At this time, she looked at the three errand servants in front of her with some schadenfreude, they had to be taught a lesson, if Jin Hong or Yan Changfeng were in a bad mood, they would use Chu Shouren's case to sit together, hum, and send them to the army, it would be the best result.

Yan Changfeng naturally didn't have as many thoughts as Li Yu in his heart at this time, but he saw an errand officer stop him and Li Yu with a flirtatious expression, and then he was about to step forward and move his hands and feet with an obscene face, how could she still bear it with her temper, she protected Li Yu behind her, and then kicked the person out with a single kick.

Fortunately, she understood that now was not the time to make a big deal out of it, so this kick was just kicked on the man's lower abdomen, if Yan Changfeng moved the position of the lower foot a little lower, that person would probably only be a eunuch in the future.

At this time, the other three people surrounded them again, and threatened themselves quite arrogantly, and were about to kick one of them again, when they saw a figure in front of them, and the leader stuck to the wall in the city gate cave with a "bang".

"Who the fuck did you just scold slut?" Naturally, it was Jin Hong, who turned around, who spoke, and at this time he stuck one hand on the person's neck, and put the other party on the wall in the air, looking at him calmly.

Jin Hong is angry! Yan Changfeng could obviously feel it, although he still had that very calm face, but he was angry in his heart, don't ask why, asking is a woman's intuition, or Yan Changfeng's intuition.

Why is he angry? Is it because the man opened his mouth and scolded "slut"? This seems to be the first time I have seen him angry, looking at Jin Hong's actions, Yan Changfeng, as a party concerned, was not angry, and looked at Jin Hong with a light smile, with a faint joy in his eyes.

Li Yu had already stood back by Yan Changfeng's side at this time, and he was also a little surprised by Jin Hong's sudden anger, and then looked at Yan Changfeng next to him, and instantly understood the reason for Jin Hong's anger, and felt a little gloomy at the same time, it turned out that he really cared about this woman.

"But before the end, who can tell." Li Yu comforted herself like this.

"Ahem!" Feeling that the hand stuck in his neck was loose, he finally got a chance to breathe, Liu Daozi didn't have time to speak, but coughed up a trace of blood first, which flowed out along the corner of his mouth, thinking that it was just now that caused his internal organs to be slightly injured.

Seeing this, Jin Hong frowned slightly, hesitated, and then let go of the hand stuck on Liu Daozi's neck, not that he was afraid of making something happen to Liu Daozi, but that he was afraid that the wisp of blood flowing down the corner of Liu Daozi's mouth would drip onto his hand.

Jin Dagongzi has a little bit of cleanliness.

Liu Daozi, who was let go, did not stop after his feet fell to the ground, but sat on the ground with his legs bent and his buttocks, and then looked up at Jin Hong, who was looking down at him, he knew that he had hit a hard stubble this time.

Secretly said with a bad breath, who would have thought that such a martial arts master would appear in this small Chu County, because he had never seen extreme martial arts, so he just merged Jinhong and them into the category of martial arts masters.

Now what? There are so many people passing by outside the city watching, they can't beat and beat, they can't run, they simply close their eyes, and they look like they want to kill or chop whatever you want, and they sit on the ground and close their eyes to recuperate.

Seeing that the person in front of him behaved like this, Jin Hong, who was in a rage, couldn't help but be happy in his heart, thinking of the purpose of his visit, it was still not appropriate to make a big deal about it, so he didn't care about Liu Daozi, who closed his eyes and recuperated, and beckoned Yan Changfeng and Li Yu to continue to go back to the city.

The remaining two servants still wanted to say something cruel, but Jinhong glanced back and obediently lowered his head.

When the three of Jinhong walked away, the guy who had been rolling on the ground with his lower abdomen stood up with a carp, looking at Yan Changfeng and Li Yu who were far away, his eyes were still flashing with greed.

"Why didn't you stop them just now?" The man came to Liu Daozi and roared angrily at Liu Daozi, who was still sitting on the ground.

"Can't stop it!" just replied lightly, Liu Daozi did not intend to communicate with him.

"Yo, don't some people usually boast of being the number one master in Chu County? How? Can't get up today? This person's yin and yang weird tone made Liu Daozi feel quite uncomfortable.

Liu Daozi was a little angry, stood up and looked directly at the other party, "Guan Qiu'er, I warn you, don't provoke me again, otherwise even if you are a dog of Gongzi Chu, I will beat you to death." “

Guan Qiu'er, who was said to be a dog by Liu Daozi, was also angry, and scolded very arrogantly: "Yes! I'm just a dog of Chu Gongzi, that's better than you, a coward who gave his own wife to others for waste, you're not a man! “

"Bastard! Do you dare to say it again? Liu Daozi, who was instantly furious, swung out with a punch, although it was only the level of ordinary practitioners, but it was not something that Guan Qiu'er could parry, and this punch was firmly imprinted on Guan Qiu'er's face.

"Poof...... A front tooth rushed out of Guan Qiu'er's mouth with blood, Liu Daozi still wanted to step forward, but was stopped by the other two discrepancies who came back to their senses.

"Liu Tou'er is angry, Liu Tou'er is angry, and Brother Guan is also unintentional, talking nonsense for a while."

Guan Qiu'er wanted to roar angrily, "That's what Lao Tzu has always thought. But when he saw Liu Daozi's cannibalistic eyes, he was instantly stunned, he understood the truth that those who know the times are Junjie, but there was a touch of ruthlessness in his eyes, and he was buried deeply.

What happened behind the city gate, Jinhong and the three didn't know, and a few people returned to the inn and talked about the visit to Liu Ru, who had been staying in the room.

"Brother Liu!" After chatting about things, Jin Hong suddenly clasped his hands into fists and bowed to Liu Ru.

"Jin Gongzi, why is this?" In the face of Jinhong's gift, Liu Ru was surprised inexplicably.

Jinhong shook his head, "Don't hide it from Brother Liu, I have always been suspicious of what Brother Liu said, and I am ashamed in my heart. “

Liu Ru smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Jin has some suspicions, and he naturally understands that it is indeed too appalling to cause five out of ten households to be wiped out due to disasters, but it is ...... now." Saying that, Liu Ru suddenly knelt down in front of Jinhong and the others.

"Now that the facts have been clarified, please also ask Gongzi Jin, Miss Yan and Miss Yan to make decisions for me as soon as possible, so that my lady can get out of that prison as soon as possible."

Yan Changfeng and Li Yu hurriedly called Liu Ruyi, while Jin Hong turned his gaze to the three-story tower outside the window, "It's time to take a look!" “
