Qingjiang County Ya, back hall, Liu County Ling sat on the Taishi chair, leisurely sipping tea.

Drinking tea is one of his hobbies, Liu Xianling doesn't have many hobbies, closing the door and the concubine in the room is one of them, and the next thing is to drink tea.

Tea is good tea, it was given to him a few days ago by the county Cheng, the county is also a good tea person, Liu County Ling has been worried about his treasured tea for a while, but the other party has been unwilling to cut love, a few days ago Zhou County Lieutenant was taken away by the government to come to the people, the county Cheng is like a different person, not only refreshingly serve good tea, but when talking to him, the attitude is much more humble than before.

has been an official for many years, and of course Liu County Ling knows why the county has changed like this. A few days ago, Lieutenant Zhou was found to have bent the law for bribes, accepted bribes, and used public affairs for personal gain...... Anyway, there are a lot of crimes, and I was sentenced to be sent back to the government by the general judge, and I am afraid that there will be no good life in the future.

Before, these things seemed to them to be extremely normal. The big and small officials of the county government can really be called clean and selfless, but I am afraid that there is not a single one. Collecting a little money and making it convenient for others are all harmless things, as long as things don't make a big fuss, even he will turn a blind eye.

The problem is that the county magistrate who was half a pound or two with him was taken away like this, and the county magistrate who heard the news broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.

If he is found, won't he have to end up with the same fate as Lieutenant Zhou? After worrying about it for a few days, and the things he was worried about didn't happen, he relaxed a little.

It seems that County Lieutenant Zhou is just a little unlucky, and it is not that the above wants to thoroughly investigate these officials, but although he is a little at ease, he has restrained a lot in his behavior, and he does not dare to do small actions in secret, and has a good relationship with the county commander, if there is any rumor above, he can also know it as soon as possible.

For the county's overture, Liu County's order of course accepted all the orders, at the moment half-squinted eyes, tasting fragrant tea, and still reminiscing about the clouds and rain with the concubine just now, suddenly, there were hurried footsteps outside the door, and a servant broke in.

Liu County's eyebrows raised, the last time Zhou County Lieutenant had an accident, it was this goods that broke in in a hurry, this time looking at his panicked appearance, didn't something happen again?

didn't care about the fact that he didn't knock on the door, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on~~?" "Your Excellency~!" The official snorted and gasped, and said: "The former ~ former official is here, and he is from the capital~!" ”

"Beijing~~~!"

Liu Xianling exclaimed, the people from the capital did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked towards the front hall. A quarter of an hour later, Liu Xianling changed into his official uniform and followed the two eunuchs from the palace out of the yamen. The two of them are indeed from the capital, and the holy decree cannot be faked.

But he traveled thousands of miles from the capital to announce the decree, but it was just to reward a small county lieutenant, when did the holy decree become so worthless? Of course, the holy decree will not be so cheap, and Liu County Ling has been an official for so many years, and he has only seen it twice.

You must know that when he took office himself, all he had in his hand was a letter of appointment, and now he has a county lieutenant under his command, and he can actually let His Majesty personally seal it, so how can he be crowned in the future?

In the past, there was a female head catcher with a noble identity, and the lord of the mansion personally warned him not to offend, and then there was a county lieutenant who asked His Majesty to seal the royal pen in person, and he must also be a character with a terrible background, I am afraid that he can't afford to provoke, what else does he mean by being a county order? Ay~~

"Lead the way ahead, go to Chujia Village!" When he was in Yamen just now, Liu County Commander had already investigated the incoming Chu County Lieutenant, and at this time, he took a group of officials and led the two people to Chujia Village to announce the decree.

"You don't have to go to Chujia Village!" A light voice came from behind him, and Liu Xianling looked back and found a heroic figure walking out of the county office.

"Public ......"

When the two eunuchs looked back, their faces changed suddenly, and they were about to kneel and salute, Li Yue waved her hand to them, and said lightly: "If you want to announce the decree, go directly to the incense shop." ”

In the incense shop, Chu Yun was lazy and didn't come today, except for the four girls in the shop, there was only Lao Chen, who was sitting in the corner and was bored, and had already begun to nap.

In the intermittent dream, I followed my aunt to make money and bought a big house, and there were people waiting for everything, and the evil lady of the family finally allowed herself to take a concubine after grinding with her for a long time......

"Who is Chu Yun~? Your Majesty has a will, kneel down quickly~~! ”

Suddenly, a loud roar woke Lao Chen up from his dream, and his body trembled, the big mansion was gone, the servants and maids were gone, and the little cui girl was gone......

"What are you shouting, running for funeral~~!"

The dream was stirred, Lao Chen was immediately furious in his heart, and he didn't see anyone clearly, so he scolded the one who covered his face.

"Presumptuous~!"

"Bold~!"

The two white-faced bearded men turned grim, glared at Lao Chen angrily, and said coldly almost at the same time. As a eunuch who passed the decree, he was fine in the palace, but when he left the palace, who saw that they were not respectful and respectful, and greeted each other with a smile, where had they been scolded like this? What did you just say?

Funeral?

Dare to say that His Majesty's will is a funeral, it is simply looking for death! Liu Xianling, who was following the two of them, also jumped in his eyelids, where did this second goods come from, can this kind of bastard talk be said?

"What's the matter, you still want to do it~~!"

Lao Chen was awakened by the dream, his eyes widened when he heard the words, his body took a step forward, and a burst of momentum suddenly pressed over. Is it reasonable to stir people's dreams? Just now, these two guys seem to have called their uncle's name, looking at this posture, are they here to seek revenge?

Thinking of this, the momentum exuded by Lao Chen's body was a little stronger. The faces of the two eunuchs changed, and then their faces turned completely cold, and they shouted: "Take him down for our family~~!" ”

"Those who don't know are not guilty~, those who don't know are not guilty~......" Before the official outside the door came in, Liu Xianling hurriedly waved his hand, looked at Lao Chen and said: "You rammer, these two were sent by His Majesty today to pass on the decree, where is Chu Yun~?" Hurry up and call him out to receive the order~! ”

"Order~?"

Lao Chen looked at the man in the official robe, then at the two eunuchs, and stood there stunned, his mind blank. Several women stood by the counter, looking at this side with shocking eyes in their eyes.

"Where's your uncle~?" Just when Lao Chen's heart was turbulent, a familiar voice reached his ears. "In ...... At home~. Lao Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva quickly, and said in a trembling voice.

Today's Cuiliuzhai, compared with two or three months ago, is undoubtedly the difference between heaven and earth. Last year, there was a drought, and the already barren mountainous area had no grain harvest, although the imperial court had reduced taxes for two years, but with only the grain stored at home, I don't know how many people struggled under the food and clothing line.

However, looking at it now, the bear children who ran all over the village before, thin skin and bones, can finally see some meat on their bodies, holding a big bone stick in their hands and gnawing on them, and there are always one or two earth dogs beside them, staring at the bones in the hands of the bear children, and constantly wandering around.

Several families' new houses have been built, and the neighbors often come out to help, and finally let their mother-in-law and aunt cook a good meal, and reward the neighbors who have contributed to the effort, which has been the default habit of the villagers in the village for decades.

A few men were working and chatting with the left and right, and suddenly found that there was movement at the entrance of the village, and when they looked up, they were all stunned there. A few figures on horses first caught their eyes, after entering the stockade, the people on the horse dismounted without hurry, several people saw clearly in their eyes, more than ten soap-clothed officials followed them and walked in.

How could there have been so many officials in Cuiliu Village, and the faces of several people changed slightly, could it be that someone in the village had committed an accident, and these people were here to arrest people? "Look, that'...... Is that Lao Chen~? One of the men saw a familiar figure walking in front of him, and immediately exclaimed.

"It's Lao Chen~!"

"How could Lao Chen be with the official~?"

"What are these people doing in the village~?"

Several people looked suspicious, and when they saw these people enter the stockade, they followed them from a distance, and did not dare to get too close, until they found that they stopped in front of a certain courtyard house, and they couldn't help but exclaim.

"They're here to find the big boss~~?"

"It's not...... I'm afraid I'm here to find my uncle~. ”

"Isn't it ...... uncle?"

At the same time as their complexions changed, more and more people began to notice the movement here.

After all, Cuiliuzhai is located in the mountains, and there is no connection with other villages and the like, and there are few outsiders who come in on weekdays. Lao Chen stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Chu Yun was teaching the little girl Yu'er how to turn the double bun into a ball head in the courtyard at this time, when she suddenly heard a knock on the door and said casually: "The door is not closed, come in." ”

Glancing slightly, when he saw Lao Chen coming in, Chu Yun's expression couldn't help but be stunned. What's wrong with Lao Chen, this guy today, he actually knows that there is a knock on the door? However, when he saw the officials who came in next and the two strange men in the lead, Chu Yun's complexion changed slightly.

What's going on?

Why are there so many officials?

It can't be Lao Chen, right?

The little girl Yu'er was also taken aback by this situation, and hid behind Chu Yun with a pale face, looking at these officials with a nervous expression.

Hearing the movement in front, a delicate woman walked out of the inner courtyard, seeing the situation in front of her, Liu Xiangjian's beautiful eyes shrank slightly, one hand was already on the hilt of the sword, and walked quickly to Chu Yun's side, Liu Xiangchen turned his head to look at him, and asked with concern: "Xianggong~, what are these people here for~?" ”

"Who is Chu Yun, come out and receive the order~!" , the eunuch's shout made everyone stunned. "Order?" Chu Yun's face changed slightly, what kind of order, what the hell~?

Liu Xiangji's gaze looked at Chu Yun. The eunuch's voice was not small, and everyone outside the door heard it.

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and suspicion.
