"County Lieutenant, why are you here?" Li Zhang couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he saw the young man in front of him, this person who bought pork belly turned out to be Han Qi's brother Han County Lieutenant.

"I was passing by the dock and I just saw you selling something here, so I came to take a look!" I saw that the county lieutenant Han showed a gentle smile at this time, and then asked a little strangely, "Didn't you say that you were folding the basket, when did you change to selling pigs into the water?" ”

"I just changed my career today, and folding a basket is not a serious business after all, but it was an expedient measure that I didn't have the capital to make before, and now I have made some money in my hands, so I changed my career to sell brine water." Li Zhang also smiled at this time and explained, he is still very grateful to this Han County Lieutenant, and the other party is good, listening to Lu Wu, he is also a practical person in the yamen, from this it can be seen that Han Qi's family tutor is quite good.

"Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement. It doesn't matter if you have a low background, with your character, you will be able to achieve a career in the future, but I still hope that you can read more books in the future, so that you can broaden your horizons and be a person who is useful to the country and the people! When County Lieutenant Han heard Li Zhang's words, he couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and encouraged.

"Thank you, County Lieutenant!" Li Zhang also nodded in thanks at the moment, and then cut two taels of pork belly for the other party, sandwiched it into the baked cake that Han County Lieutenant bought just now, and then sent it to the other party.

Lieutenant Han took the baked cake and paid for it, then took a bite to taste it, and then immediately praised it, "Good craftsmanship, the pigs are so delicious, no wonder I heard many people on the dock just now saying that your water here is delicious!" ”

"Although pork is cheap meat, the rich refuse to eat it, and the poor don't know how to cook it, but in fact, as long as you do it well, the taste may not be worse than mutton." Li Zhang also laughed again at this time, in fact, he is also comparing himself with pork, although he and pork are from low backgrounds, but he believes that he will never be at the bottom all the time, with his ability, it is not difficult to get out in the Great Song Dynasty in the future, but now he has not thought about what he should do in the future?

What Lieutenant Han appreciated most was Li Zhang's ambition, and he praised him again at the moment, and then turned around and left, but at this moment, he suddenly thought of something, and turned around again and said to Li Zhang with a heavy weight: "I forgot to tell you that Liu Er, who reported the case last time, died." ”

"Liu Er? Is it the one whose own son killed his eldest brother, and the Liu Er who he reported the case without knowing it? Li Zhang thought about it for a while when he heard this, and then remembered the identity of this Liu Er.

"Yes, just this morning, this Liu Er ran to the yamen and hit the wall and died, speaking of which he is also a poor man, his son killed his eldest brother, and then his son was also killed by his accomplices, and because of his report, his son was also infamous after his death, many people have poked his backbone in the back these days, as a result, Liu Er couldn't stand this kind of discussion, and ran to the yamen today to commit suicide, and the officials at the door did not stop him." Lieutenant Han also sighed at this time and said again.

Li Zhang was also silent after hearing this, there was no crime of harboring in the era of the Great Song Dynasty, but the law stipulates that "relatives hide each other", that is to say, relatives have committed crimes, and other relatives have the obligation to help him conceal them, and the government will not condemn his relatives for this, and even relatives can refuse to testify to identify the perpetrator, so Liu Er reported the case and found out that his son was a murderer, although he helped the government, but he was accused by public opinion, and it is estimated that this is also the main reason for his suicide.

"Okay, you're busy, I won't bother you!" At this time, Lieutenant Han said goodbye to Li Zhang again.

"The county lieutenant stays!" Li Zhang suddenly thought of something at this time, and wanted to inquire about the other party at the moment, so he hurriedly called Han County Lieutenant.

"What's the matter?" Hearing this, County Lieutenant Han stopped at his feet, and immediately turned to look at Li Zhang again and asked.

"I want to ask the county lieutenant about the Divine Bird, I wonder if you have ever seen the Divine Bird with your own eyes?" Li Zhang spoke again at this time, he has always been worried about the Divine Bird, and his feet are almost healed, so he also wants to see if the Divine Bird is a plane, but he heard Lu Wu say that everything over there is blocked by the forbidden army, so he wants to inquire more about the news, maybe he can find a chance to go in and have a look?

"Divine Bird?" Lieutenant Han didn't expect Li Zhang to inquire about the Divine Bird for no reason, which made him frown, and then he spoke, "When the Divine Bird appeared that day, I only looked up a few times, and then it fell on the dirt mountain in the west, and the yamen also sent people, but it was preempted by the forbidden army, so I didn't get to see the Divine Bird up close." ”

"I see, I heard that His Majesty also went to see the Divine Bird, and there was an accident, I don't know if it's true?" Li Zhang inquired again at this time, last time Lu Wu was reluctant to say more, and there was no matter related to His Majesty in the market, so Li Zhang wanted to ask Han County Lieutenant, and the other party should know what happened to His Majesty the Emperor.

However, when County Lieutenant Han heard Li Zhang's words, his face changed, and then he looked around very vigilantly, and then lowered his voice and said: "I don't know who you listened to about this matter, but you must not inquire again, and you must remember that during this time, you must not inquire about things related to the palace, otherwise you will only get into trouble!" ”

Seeing that even the county lieutenant Han was so secretive about this matter, Li Zhang was also stunned, but this also made him more sure that when Emperor Zhao Huan went to see the divine bird, something serious must have happened, otherwise it would not have made the people in the officialdom so taboo, and he didn't even dare to mention it.

"I see, thank you for the reminder!" Li Zhang immediately thanked the county lieutenant Han.

County Lieutenant Han nodded when he heard Li Zhang's words, and then just wanted to leave, but suddenly asked Li Zhang: "By the way, do you know where Lu Bantou went, I didn't see him all morning today, Liu Er died at the yamen, and he still needs to deal with it." ”

"Uncle Wu came to me this morning to buy some water for breakfast, and I haven't seen him since, could it be that he went to handle some case?" Li Zhang immediately replied that although Lu Wu's position was not high, he was very busy, and it was normal to not see anyone for three or five days.

"If he goes to handle a case, he usually reports it in the yamen, but today he didn't, and he didn't bring other officials, which is really a bit strange." At this time, the county lieutenant Han muttered to himself with a puzzled face, but then thought that it was useless to talk to Li Zhang, so he quickly said goodbye again, and Li Zhang also watched the other party leave the dock.

At the same time, in a small forest outside Bianhe Town, Lu Wu slammed Hou San to the ground with a splash in one hand, and as a result, Hou San fell and screamed, and then begged for mercy repeatedly: "Lu Ye spares his life, the little one who has eyes and ignores Taishan who bullied you will never dare to do it again in the future!" ”

"Don't dare? I think you kid is quite daring, and you are not soft at all when you rob my nephew's business! Lu Wu didn't spare his hand at all, stepped forward and punched and kicked, he practiced a good martial arts, once cut down more than a dozen robbers by himself, like Hou San, he can beat ten with one hand, and he hit hard, as a result, Hou San screamed again and again, and the corners of his mouth and nose were full of blood.

However, Lu Wu's subordinates are measured, although Hou San's face is full of blood, but he will not die, otherwise with his martial arts, he can knock off half of Hou San's life with one punch, and finally Hou San also gave up resisting, and lay on the ground with his head in his hands and let Lu Wu kick and beat.

Lu Wu finally got angry, so he stopped beating, and then kicked Hou San with his foot: "Don't play dead, stand up for Lao Tzu!" ”

Hou San had been completely convinced by Lu Wu at this time, and stood up tremblingly and begged for mercy at the moment: "The little one doesn't dare anymore, I beg Lu Ye to raise his noble hand and let go of the small one, and return the business of the broken basket today!" ”

"Phew! My nephew has long been unable to look down on this kind of broken business, the last thing you should do is to rob my nephew's business and bully them, do you really think that Lao Tzu is a vegetarian? Lu Wu spat on him directly at this time, he is not a good person, in fact, a good person can't be the leader of the yamen, revenge is just one of his characters.

"Yes, yes~, the villain knows that he is wrong, and when he sees Master Li in the future, he will definitely hide away!" Hou San swore at this time.

Seeing Hou San's appearance, Lu Wu also snorted coldly with disdain, he knew too much about this kind of scoundrel, don't look at him now he is waging his tail in front of him and begging for mercy, but if they find an opportunity, he will definitely retaliate a hundred times and a thousand times, but he is not worried at all, and speaks again at the moment: "Do you know what I am looking for you to do?" ”

"Huh?" Hou San was stunned when he heard Lu Wu's words, thinking to himself that you didn't come to me to teach me a lesson and vent your anger to that Li Zhang?

"Hmph, I don't know if you're stupid, let me ask you, what did my nephew say to you when you were at the docks before?" Lu Wu finally asked with a somewhat serious look at this time.

"What...... What words? Hou San still didn't understand what Lu Wu meant.

"Just before I appeared, he whispered a few words in your ear, and as a result, you were scared to take a few steps back!" Lu Wu asked impatiently.

"Oh, I said, but your nephew is really not easy to mess with, I just robbed him of his business, but he wants my life......" At that moment, Hou San told Li Zhang about the method of poisoning leftovers, and finally his face still showed a little fear, after all, such a vicious idea is not like a child can come up with.

"Get out!" After hearing this, Lu Wu waved his hand directly, he found Hou San mainly to ask about this matter, and as for beating him up, he just did it easily.

Hou San didn't expect Lu Wu to let himself go so easily, but he didn't want to be beaten again, so he turned around and ran out of the woods with a rolling belt, but Lu Wu stood there with a complicated expression, as if he was happy or not, and seemed to be worried or not?

After a long while, I saw Lu Wu suddenly sigh and walk out of the woods quickly, and then went straight to Kaifeng City along the official road, after passing through the tall city gate, Lu Wu walked through the streets and alleys with ease, and finally entered a small restaurant, and went directly to a box on the second floor, and there was already a person in the box, when he saw him come in, he only heard this person speak in a strange voice: "Why did you come so late?" ”
