Seeing that in front of him is the city of Chuzhou Prefecture (now Huai'an), although I don't know what it was like before, but now it doesn't seem to be dilapidated. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Meng Jiucheng has searched the information in his mind and knows that this has a lot to do with Ying Chunzhi's governance.

The so-called times create heroes, and Ying Chun is one of them. When the situation in the Song and Jin dynasties was constantly changing, he started as a local official like the "Hongzhou New Master Book", and was promoted step by step to the military department's squire, Zhichu Prefecture and Jingdong Jingjing's envoy, and became a military and political officer in the important town of Banggi in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with Ying Chunzhi's ability and the change of the Song court's policy towards Jin.

As for how to make better use of the current situation, Meng Jiucheng believes that if he is called second, no one will dare to call him first. This is also the main reason why he refused to take the career of official and stumbled in the court fight, but he wanted to make a name for himself immediately and make a name for himself.

After entering the city, Meng Jiucheng and the others first found an inn to settle down. The strategy had already been thought about, and seeing that the time was not early, he brought a gift and went to visit the Lu family first.

As one of the full-time judicial officers in the Song Dynasty, he was mainly responsible for the prosecution and punishment of criminal and civil cases in the state. It is a permanent local subordinate official of the Song Dynasty, basically one member of each state, and is one of the six Cao to join the army.

The main function of the judiciary is to check out the appropriate legal provisions after the case has been heard, so that the governor can use it when he or she is in charge of the state or the general judgment. When necessary, they may submit their own judgment opinions or suggestions, and when encountering unjust cases, they should refute and correct them. This is one of the important manifestations of the relative maturity of the judicial system in the Song Dynasty, and it is also an important step in the professionalization of judicial activities.

In other words, there are still similarities between Lu Chenghuan, a judicial member of the army, and Meng Jiucheng, the county government's detention department, in business business. As a subordinate or subordinate who came to report on the work, it is reasonable to start with the bureaucrats around Shangguan and inquire about the preferences of some Shangguan in order to give a better answer.

When he came to the Lu Mansion, he was reported by the subordinates, and he was soon welcomed into the mansion. In the hall, Meng Jiucheng saw Lu Chenghuan, Shi Li was noisy, and the guests and hosts sat down.

Lu Chenghuan is the kind of standard civil official dress, with a good face, and a straightforward speech and demeanor, although he seems a little pedantic, he is also easy-going.

Since he was a judicial professional, Meng Jiucheng did what he liked, recounted the newly solved case of the Shen brothers, and solicited his opinions on the county government's sentencing and applicable law.

"Such murderers, robbing property and killing people, are extremely heinous, and your county severely punishes them, and there is nothing wrong with them." Lu Chenghuan listened carefully and carefully, and there was no different opinion.

"Since Lord Lu said that there is nothing wrong, he is relieved." Meng Jiucheng looked relieved, smiled, and asked again: "My family has complied with the supervision of the minister, built the city and the people, and formed a militia group, which has achieved some results. The main purpose of this humble post is to report to the minister and answer the questions of the minister. I am afraid that there will be mistakes and omissions, and I hope that Lord Lu will give me a lot of advice. ”

Lu Chenghuan nodded lightly, thought about it, and said: "The minister is careful and careful, if there is a mistake or omission in your county, he will definitely be angry and suspicious, and he must not be sloppy." ”

"Yes, that's what I feared." Meng Jiucheng nodded yes, took out the official documents to be reported, presented them to Lu Chenghuan with both hands, and complimented: "Please also ask Lord Lu to bother, remind me to take care of it." ”

Lu Chenghuan took it and looked at it briefly, slightly surprised, lightly tapped the document with his fingers, and asked, "Is there any fraud here?" ”

Meng Jiucheng hurriedly arched his hand and said: "There is no falsehood, you should send someone to verify it, and if there is any falsehood, you should be punished." ”

Lu Chenghuan pondered for a moment and said, "Wait for me to take a closer look and then discuss." Well, I'm sorry to invite Meng Abssi to come to the house again tomorrow. ”

"Thank you, Lord Lu." Meng Jiucheng thanked him, paused, and said: "Humble and courageous, I inquired about the situation in Lord Lu's mansion in advance, and prepared some small gifts for Mrs., eldest son, and little lady, and I hope that Lord Lu will not refuse." ”

"Meng Abbot has a heart, and the official has thanked him." Lu Chenghuan didn't realize that Meng Jiucheng was deliberately mentioning the little lady, and he just regarded it as a humble word for his usual gifts, and he didn't care about it.

Meng Jiucheng saw that Lu Chenghuan didn't take the bait, so he resorted to another plan. He didn't take anything else, but he took a small wooden box, handed it over, and said, "This thing is very rare, and it can be seen as far as near." I heard that Lord Lu is the most affectionate little lady, and he happened to meet a stranger in his humble position, and he got this thing as a gift. After speaking, he opened the wooden box and demonstrated the use of the telescope to Lu Chenghuan.

Lu Chenghuan was also attracted by this strange thing, but soon showed a gloomy color, and sighed: "Meng Absilisc is so attentive, this official is grateful. It's just—alas! ”

Meng Jiucheng pretended to be puzzled, and said with a little trepidation: "I am humble and smart, if this thing does not please the little lady, please forgive me." ”

Lu Chenghuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't do Meng Aisi's business, it's really a little girl who has some this, this idiot." Such strange things, but they do not know their benefits. ”

Meng Jiucheng looked abrupt, thought for a while, and said tentatively: "The disease of dementia is not a terminal disease, it should be cured." ”

"I have been looking for medical advice since I was a child, but there is no improvement at all." Lu Chenghuan shook his head gloomily.

"I want my lords to forgive me for my humble words." Meng Jiucheng was not in a hurry to say the cure, and apologized repeatedly.

Lu Chenghuan smiled bitterly and said that he didn't have to care, and after chatting a few more words, Meng Jiucheng got up and said goodbye.

Meng Jiucheng returned to the inn, and Chen Hong gradually came to inquire in a hurry. Although Meng Jiucheng had a plan, he didn't tell him, only said that he would act when the opportunity came. Seeing his anxious look, Meng Jiucheng's trip was also very smooth, so he summoned Mei'er out and told him his idea.

It turned out that the lady of the Lu family was not completely soulful, she was a stupid girl, and she often stuck her tongue out of her lips and gasped, like a dog on a hot day. This look, what kind of appearance has also been ruined.

"Let the slaves pretend to be stupid?" Mei'er also just heard Meng Jiucheng's plan, and she didn't have time to think about it for a while, but her face was embarrassed.

"Brother Meng, this, this is a little difficult, right?" Chen Hong gradually looked at Mei'er's face and hurriedly said, "Do you want to think of another way?" ”

"Mei Niangzi thought about it carefully, and knew that only by acting in this way could she proceed to the next step." Meng Jiucheng ignored Chen Hongji, a fool, and fiddled with the black cloth bag in his hand, as if he was smiling.

Mei'er frowned slightly, pondered for a long time, smiled, bowed to Meng Jiucheng, and said: "Engong is really exquisite, and he thinks through people's hearts. Such a clever plan, I don't have to worry about my father rushing to ask for it. ”

If you follow the conventional idea, it is natural to drag it to prevent the soul of the Lu family lady from gathering, stupid girl, how can there be capital to pick and choose, and the family affair may be easy to say. After getting married, and then turning the silly girl into a smart girl, and the crow into a phoenix, it will be too late for the Lu family to regret it.
