In other words, Liu Gouwa and Li Daniu went to the inn lobby to eat, and met an acquaintance who poured himself a drink in the inn, and the shopkeeper saw that Liu Gouwa's attention was focused on the person, and he couldn't help laughing: "That's Sun Xiucai, last time Lord Liu paid back the credit for him, and there was more than one or two silver left, Sun Xiucai went to the inn to drink every once in a while, but he personally paid for the wine, and did not use the silver, and he also asked the small one to return the wine account that the adult paid for him, which is two taels of silver, please check it." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After the innkeeper finished speaking, he took out two taels of silver from the counter and handed it back to Liu Gouwa in person, Sun Xiucai, who was pouring himself a drink, had already seen Liu Gouwa and them, and nodded slightly to Liu Gouwa, Liu Gouwa hurriedly came to Sun Xiucai, gave a scribe salute, and said, "The kid has seen Mr. Sun." ”

"Lord Liu is very polite, Lord Liu did a yatui at a young age, and handled a few cases cleanly, which is widely spread in the city, which is admirable, and it is really terrifying." Sun Xiucai returned the salute and sighed with a wry smile.

Liu Gouwa saw that Sun Xiucai's face was bitter, and when she faced herself, she also looked apologetic, and couldn't help asking: "I don't know what Mr. is worried about, I don't know if the kid can do his best?" ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just a ......" Sun Xiucai said expectantly, then glanced at Liu Gouwa, and sighed helplessly: "The boys who were sent to the study school last time by Lord Liu were diligent and willing to learn, and they were rare talents, but the big families and nobles in the city asked the study school to dismiss their poor students, thinking that they were from a low background and were not worthy of being with their children, otherwise they would go on strike collectively, and the old man was also very embarrassed, this is Lord Liu's constraints...... "Sun Xiucai said and took out the silver from the pocket of the scribe's shirt, Awkwardly handed it to Liu Gouwa.

Liu Gouwa didn't expect that Sun Xiucai was worried about dismissing Zhang San and Li Si, and he didn't take the silver handed over by Sun Xiucai, but he was stunned for a while before he said: "There is no high or low level in learning, and Mr. is also educated, is Mr. also in their vision?" ”

When Sun Xiucai heard this, he was ashamed, and said: "What Lord Liu said is right, and the old man also explained it, but the wealthy families and noble families in the city rely on their identities and do not agree with Zhang San and Li Si These children, and threaten to take back the rented land and dissolve the school, the old man is also helpless, and I hope Lord Liu will forgive me." ”

It turned out that Sun Xiucai's school was set up by the wealthy families and noble families in the city, and the place where it was located was also the clan land of the Li family in the city. Sun Xiucai was alone for the rest of his life, although he was admitted to the fame of Xiucai, but he still had no fixed place to live, and he was poor, only because of his good reputation, he was hired by a wealthy family to be the gentleman of this school. Now facing a dilemma, I have to choose to dismiss Zhang San, Li Si and these nameless children.

Liu Gouwa knew that Sun Xiucai had a last resort and had no choice but to say: "Zhang San and they are all brothers of this official, and their names are under the name of this official, don't they know?" Liu Gouwa said that he raised his official body, and in the future, if he wants to cover his younger brother, he has to come up with a hard identity.

"They naturally know Lord Liu's identity, but Lord Liu's background is not very good, hasn't Lord Liu heard the rumors about Lord Liu in the city?" Sun Xiucai asked puzzled.

Liu Gouwa only knew that she had handled a few cases, and they were all spread in the city, all of which were good, but she really didn't hear any rumors that were unfavorable to her, and couldn't help asking, "What rumors?" ”

"Legend in the city, the servant of the Lin family, the villain of the wine merchant, occasionally got favor, once he got the power to fly on the branch and it was difficult to become a phoenix, and finally made a trip to the bird, the yali was engaged in nonsense and brute acts, and the simple officials were children's play, chaotic and unorthodox, selling fame and reputation to incite the people, (there is still a sentence that I can't think of)." Sun Xiucai said.

"Lord Liu, today Patriarch Li and all the major households in the city jointly wrote to the county, since the impeachment of the lord took office, the corpse is vegetarian, nepotism, fish and meat township, public order is chaotic, thieves are rampant, and the request for the removal of the lord from the post of yatui, the county lord has accepted it." The innkeeper was also busy saying on the side, and then said apologetically: "The villain was forced by the pressure of various families, so he had to sign on it, which was not the villain's original intention, and I hope the adults will forgive the sin." ”

Liu Gouwa couldn't imagine that Zhang San and the reason for their withdrawal from school turned out to be on herself, not long after she became a yatui, and she was confident that she hadn't had time to offend the big families in the city, so they had to collectively write a letter to ask for their official position, thinking about it, they knew that it was the county magistrate Zhou Fuan and the chief catcher Xie Da who were accusing behind the scenes and spreading rumors.

Liu Gouwa knew that this was a battle between the two camps of Hao Dongqing and Shi Weiyi, the senseless means were insidious or insidious, and they had not been in office for a long time, so they had no handle, no wonder they fabricated some small charges for themselves, pointing out that they had no qualifications and were not qualified for the position of pushing officials, and the ultimate goal was to remove their officials. So, Liu Gouwa said lightly: "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add." ”

Liu Gouwa promised to personally go to the rich families in the city and communicate to solve the problem of Zhang San and others' education, Sun Xiucai reluctantly took back the shackles and left. After Liu Gouwa finished eating at the inn, he sent Li Daniu away, and hurried back to the county office, looking for Qian Feng, Wu Qi and others to understand the relationship between the rich families in the city and Zhou Fuan.

The Li family is a big family in the Song City, covering an area of thousands of acres in the city, and is a complete landlord in the city, and the fourth concubine of the patriarch Li Zong is the concubine of Zhou Fu'an, the county commander. Fighting with such a powerful local snake, Liu Gouwa had a headache, and couldn't help but ask Qian Feng, Wu Qi and the others: "Is this Li Zong the only one in the city, and let him run rampant?" ”

Since Liu Gouwa promoted Qian Feng and Wu Qi and others, they completely broke with the chief catcher Xie Da and sided with Liu Gowa. Qian Feng, as the deputy chief catcher, has the support of Liu Gouwa, and he always ignores and ignores the orders and arrangements of the chief catcher Xie Da, which makes Xie Da often look at each other angrily and resentfully. At this time, I listened to Liu Gouwa's inquiry, and said busily: "Not necessarily, I heard that a few years ago, the Li family and the Dongcheng Zhang family fought for many years because of a piece of mountainous land, and later the county order married Li Zong's daughter as a concubine, and then the mountain land was awarded to the Li family. ”

Liu Gouwa couldn't remember when she had seen Zhang's son, and couldn't help asking, "Which one is Zhang's son?" ”

"My lord doesn't remember, Zhang Dagui, who was robbed of the money bag by Chai Wu last time, is the eldest son of the Zhang family." Wu Qi replied first.

When Liu Gouwa heard this, she suddenly remembered that the surprisingly tall young man, who was falsely accused of robbing money by Chai Wu, not only did she not hate Chai Wu after arguing, but after hearing about Chai Wu's difficult situation, she instead squandered her money with righteousness, and Zhou Ji Chai family had half a bag of silver money, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "It turned out to be him, I don't know if I can still find him?" ”

"The Zhang family is also a big family, operating silk jewelry and grain in the city, I heard that the business is not bad, Zhang Dagongzi also made the shopkeeper of a silk village, his subordinates used to handle cases, and he also passed by the silk village from time to time, as long as the adults got there, they could find him." Qian Feng said.

Under the guidance of Qian Feng, Liu Gouwa took Wu Qi and a few other people, and soon came to the door of a plaque hanging Zhang's silk village, Liu Gouwa first arrived in Xiaosong City, and thought that the ancient business did not have the concept of brand, how do you know that this is the difference between urban and rural areas, the big merchants in the city still pay more attention to the brand effect, this Zhang's silk village is hung with a big red plaque, which is also Liu Gouwa's gradual understanding of ancient life.

Zhang Dagui's silk village shop is relatively large, operating all kinds of silk, there are Shu brocade Tang satin, Hangzhou silk Han yarn and other high-end famous products, before entering the shop to face a pleasant smell of silk clothing. Liu Gouwa explained the intention, and Zhang Dagui hurriedly and politely welcomed them into the reception room of the silk village, which is a single room in the backyard of the silk village, and there is a distance from the silk storage in the backyard. After Zhang Dagui instructed the men to serve tea, he asked, "I don't know what the case of Lord Liu wants to know about the villain?" ”

"It is said that your Zhang family in the east of the city and the Li family in the west of the city fought a lawsuit because of a mountainous area, and finally sentenced your Zhang family to be at a loss?" Liu Gouwa asked straightforwardly.

"Then how can it be said that our Zhang family is at a loss? That piece of mountainous land was handed down by my Zhang family ancestors, our Zhang family's population is getting thinner and thinner, and many people from the clan have gone out to do business, and gradually abandoned that mountainous land, and his Li family relied on the strong and bullied the weak, colluded with the government, and forcibly occupied our Zhang family's land. Zhang Dagui heard Liu Gouwa mention the lawsuit between their Zhang family and the Li family, and the government sentenced him to pay the Zhang family a loss, and he couldn't help but say very excitedly.

"Then are your Zhang family still willing to file a complaint, reopen the case, and ask for a judgment to return the lost land?" Liu Gouwa asked with a smile.

Zhang Dagui was stunned when he heard this, and when he saw Liu Gouwa looking at him with a smile on his face, he suddenly came to his senses, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and thanked happily: "Thank you for being willing to make decisions for the villain family, the villain family is willing to sue again and ask for the return of the lost land. ”

Liu Gouwa heard that there were many farmers who were snatched by the Li family and lost their land, so she couldn't help but ask Zhang Dagui to contact other farmers who had lost their land to jointly sue Li Zong. Liu Gouwa pondered slightly, picked up the pen and added a few to the back before handing the complaint back to Zhang Dagui.

Zhang Dagui took back the complaint, and when he saw a few of the additions by Liu Gouwa, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and asked: "There may be bribery and collusion with the government, is there any rape of people's daughters and trafficking of young children as slaves?" ”

Liu Gouwa replied casually: "There is no need, there is a trial." Liu Gouwa smiled secretly in her heart, didn't you ancients like to be sanctimonious, you attach importance to reputation and identity on the surface, but you do some dirty and dirty things behind your back, Lao Tzu has to prescribe the right medicine, it depends on how you flutter and flutter.
