This woman is naturally Ma Yun. Li Lin didn't recognize her, if he knew that it was Ma Yun, he would definitely not be so impulsive. At this moment, a thin girl rushed over and blocked in the middle, and Li Lin smashed it firmly on the girl's head, and then he was controlled by the guards who rushed up. That girl is Erya, after she was expelled from the Taishou Mansion, she was sold by her family to a family as a child daughter-in-law. Erya, a child daughter-in-law, is very hard, her little husband is only five years old, and she usually has to take care of the children, buy vegetables, do laundry, cook, and endure the oil rubbing by her father-in-law and the beating and scolding of her mother-in-law. However, in this way, she also has the opportunity to go on the street, and she can see Ma Yun, who likes to go shopping. Although Ma Yun didn't get along with her for a long time, she was very good to her, so she often secretly followed behind her wife and wanted to take a few more looks. Coincidentally, today she saw her wife enter the silk shop, so she quietly guarded the door, not wanting to help Ma Yun block it.

Liu Xin figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and he was also furious, the legendary bag drop plan really appeared on his own territory!

At this time, Fan Juan also helped Erya in. Erya had already woken up, and her already malnourished face was even paler due to blood loss, and it was thickly wrapped with gauze.

While taking them to the inner house, Ma Yun said to Liu Xin: "I want to leave Erya behind, and I will settle accounts with you when I go back!" ”

Liu Xin is very aggrieved, this Li Lin was not secretly let go by me, what kind of account is it with me. But at this time, Ma Yun was a national treasure one level higher than the giant panda, he didn't dare to talk back, so he had to pinch his nose and say to Zhao Yun, who was still in the hall: "Zhao Yun, you first send someone to arrest Chen Jin, and then interrogate Li Lin carefully, and see if anyone else knows that Li Lin is not dead, arrest them all." ”

Zhao Yunzheng was a little dissatisfied with Liu Xin not arranging his own affairs, and got the order to arrest people happily, not to mention that Fan Juan was also with Ma Yun just now, so if Li Lin misses and the stone falls on Fan Juan's head, how can it be good, Zhao Yun will naturally not let go of these officials who know and do not report. As a result, there was a burst of chickens and dogs in Hejian County, and more than a dozen officials were imprisoned one after another.

On the outskirts of Julu County, there is a Taiping Villa, which is the residence of Zhang Jiao, a Taiping Taoist. The whole villa is exquisitely designed, and there are many winding roads connecting the different courtyards. In a secret room in the corner of Zhuangzi, Zhang Jiao summoned a few henchmen.

Zhang Jiao's beard and hair were all white, with three strands of long hair under his chin, and he really looked like a fairy wind and bones, he sat upright and said slowly: "Everyone, I have long predicted that there will be an unprecedented drought next year, and it will spread to the entire north. Today, Zhang Jun, the chief of Hejian, came to the village with a gift and wanted to invite the master to ask for rain, what do you think about this? ”

Zhang Bao first stood up and said: "Big brother, in order to take advantage of this drought, we have sent more than 30 teams of people to move around, and everything in each county has been very smooth, only this Hejian County, since Liu Xin came, has been very vigilant, and has missed Zhu Qing again and again. Now he sent someone to ask his eldest brother to help him ask for rain, but he must not agree. ”

Zhu Qing and Tang Zhou are the two most proud disciples under Zhang Jiao. It was said that Zhu Qing pretended to be the leader of the horse thieves and went to Gaoyang County, Hejian to grab grain, but unexpectedly ran into Xu Huang, who would rather die than surrender, and committed suicide. Later, because Zhang Jun was in a hurry to rush back to Hejian and urged Xu Huang to get on the road, Zhu Qing's body was snatched back by Zhang Jiao's men. Later, Liu Xin strictly ordered the counties to strengthen their precautions, and Zhang Jiao no longer sent people to the Hejian area. For Zhu Qing's death, several of Zhang Jiao's henchmen have always been obsessed, and they wanted to go to Hejian to find Xu Huang for revenge several times, but they were stopped by Zhang Jiao.

Guan Hai also shouted on the side: "What did that broken Taishou do, if it wasn't for the master to stop me, I would have gone to the river to kill this dog official a long time ago." ”

Zhang Jiao said disappreciatively: "This Liu Xin is not simple. I didn't expect him to see that there would be a drought next year, and I don't know what else he knows, this person should not be underestimated. In the next year's drought, the people will have nothing to eat, and they will inevitably wander around. We can't be wary of Liu Xin, I want to take this opportunity to send someone to explore his reality, who do you think is more appropriate? ”

Zhang Liang, Cheng Yuanzhi, Deng Mao, and Tang Zhou all stood up and said, "I'll go!" ”

Zhang Jiao shook his head and said: "Liu Xin can see the big drought next year, he must be a scheming person, you are brave, but you are not his opponent when you listen to the truth, don't be calculated by him." Let me think about it again......"

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Just when Zhang Jiao was hesitating, a girl broke in in a hurry, only to see her waist like a willow, her face like a peach blossom, and her muscles like jade.

When Zhang Jiao saw it, it was his daughter Zhang Ning who had just come back from outside. Zhang Jiao knew that his daughter was smart and clever, and she had a good martial arts, so she suddenly had an idea: "Ning'er, you came just in time, I have an important matter here and need to send someone to the river, and it is most appropriate for you to go." ”

When Zhang Ning heard that it was Hejian, his eyes burst into flames: "Dad, are you going to kill that dog official?" ”

It turned out that Zhu Qing was Zhang Ning's senior brother, and Tang Zhou was Zhang Ning's second senior brother, and the two senior brothers had affection for this beautiful little junior sister and cared for her in every way. Zhang Ning has just reached Xuan, although the spring heart has sprouted, but he can't say that he loves these two senior brothers, but it is certain to be closer, especially with the senior brother Zhu Qing, but Zhu Qing died in the river, Zhang Ning has always held a grudge against this, and has secretly inquired that the Taishou of the river is Liu Xin, and the one who killed the senior brother was a captain named Xu Huang under him, and he often thought about going to the river to take revenge.

Zhang Jiao knew the reason for this best, so he stopped her and said, "Ning'er, I sent you this time because of a big matter, you must not be rash." If things go well next year, Qing'er's big revenge will not be avenged. ”

Zhang Ning forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "The child is at the behest of his father." ”

Zhang Jiao knew that his daughter valued faith and righteousness the most, and since he had promised to come down, he would not mess around, so he said with confidence: "You went to Hejian for me this time to help Taishou Liu Xin ask for rain, and you need to be so ......."

Of course, Zhang Ning knew that she couldn't ask for rain, but she didn't know that her father couldn't ask for rain either, so it was inconvenient for her to go out in person, so she listened to her father's advice, nodded again and again, and secretly decided that she must find out Liu Xin's secret on this trip.

Ma Yun was vomiting with Liu Xin at home, not because of Li Lin, but because of Erya. Erya took that for her, and she took her back to the Taishou Mansion, so she naturally wanted to tell her what happened after she was expelled. Ma Yun is a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted master, after listening to Erya's crying, seeing that she had suffered a lot, she couldn't help but shed tears, blaming Liu Xin for driving her out of the house ruthlessly. Liu Xin couldn't resist her, so she had to send someone to redeem Erya back, and the family saw that it was Taishou who came to redeem her, how dare they not follow, not to mention that Liu Xin's bid was not expensive. Rao is like this, Ma Yun still didn't talk to Liu Xin for two days, until Liu Xin coaxed a lot of good things and said a lot of good things, and then he barely broke into laughter, so that everyone around Liu Xin knew that he was afraid of his wife like a tiger.

On the one hand, a large number of ditches were built to connect the river so that even if there was no drought in the future, it would be very beneficial for agricultural production, and on the other hand, many wells and water storage cellars were dug in the villages and towns to ensure that people and livestock could drink water when the drought came. These measures were all thought up by Liu Xin based on some experience of later generations, and Tian Feng and Fu Zhu also deeply agreed with them.

Because Zhao Yun arrested more than a dozen officials in one go, many affairs in Hejian County were still affected, and people who came to intercede one after another, even Fu Zhu and Tian Feng also came forward to intercede for these people. However, the two of them are indeed out of public intentions and sincerely think about Liu Xin. Because these officials who were arrested involved almost the entire scholar class in the river. The noble class is the ruler of this era, and it is very unwise to oppose the entire noble clan. Liu Xin didn't think too much about it, anyway, Ma Yun's anger was gone, so he ordered these officials to spend money to atone for their crimes, and Li Lin and Chen Jin would not be let go by him, Chen Jin was dismissed and went home, and Li Lin was really taken to the execution ground this time, Liu Xin personally supervised and beheaded, and no one could save his life anymore.

Finally stabilized the situation in the river, Liu Xin just took a breath, and the soldiers who went to Julu with Zhang Jun rushed back to report, Zhang Jiao sent the holy woman in the Taiping Road to help the adult ask for rain, and asked the adult to go out of the city to greet him.

Liu Xin secretly sneered, with such a big tone, he wanted to play tricks with me, and he was a little tender. However, Liu Xin also wanted to see who this holy woman was, and he had the impression that there was no such character in the Yellow Turban Army. Of course, Liu Xin would not greet him in person, after thinking about it, he sent someone to find Chen Jin, he was in charge of catching thieves, this saint is estimated to be a witch or something, it is best to ask him to deal with it, Liu Xin promised him that as long as this errand is done, he will be reinstated.

Chen Jin took the errand and hurried to the gate of Beicheng. I saw that there was no one at the gate of the city, and I didn't know where the saint was. Chen Jin waited left and right, until it was said that the West Mountain, and when it was time to close the city gate, he saw a group of people coming slowly from a distance. Chen Jin had been figuring out Liu Xin's intention of sending him to greet the Holy Maiden, asked the soldier who came to report the news, and then looked at the slow team in front of him, and finally understood.

The soldier who guarded the gate knew that Chen Jin was waiting for someone here, so he walked over and asked, "Lord Chen, the time has come, do you want to wait for them to come and then close the city gate?" ”

Chen Jin did not hesitate and waved his hand: "Close the city gate!" ”

The soldiers on both sides hurried to get busy, dispersing the people at the gates of the city, telling them to enter the city as soon as possible, and to get out of the city as soon as possible. The procession outside the city was getting closer and closer, but the gate "creaked" shut.

Zhang Jun finally found Taiping Villa, but was told that the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao was in retreat and would not be out for half a year. He pleaded in the villa for two days, and then the people in Taiping Dao asked Zhang Jiao and sent the holy woman Zhang Ning to come with him. Along the way, Zhang Ning wanted to do as he could, and if he wanted to stay, Zhang Jun didn't even dare to let out a fart, so he swallowed it slowly, and walked for five days before approaching Hejian County. Zhang Ning raised his whip: "Quickly call Taishou out of the city to greet him." ”

Zhang Jun didn't dare to slack off, and quickly sent his soldiers to report to Liu Xin. The team was still walking unhurriedly, and finally saw the city between the rivers, and it was already time to close the city gates. There was no welcoming procession outside the city gates, but the city gates slowly closed. Zhang Jun was taken aback, beat his horse forward, ran to the city and shouted: "The holy woman has arrived, open the city gate quickly!" ”
