Liu Ming ordered the waist to be cut down, so that the people of Chunfeng County all applauded. The people of Chunfeng County originally only believed in Hualien Temple, and all of them regarded the monks of Hualien Temple as living parents. Successive Xinzhizhi counties can only become a foil for green leaves, but they have to have a good relationship with the Hualien Temple.

The blessing of the government and the blind faith of the people made the monks of Hualien Temple even more fearless and unscrupulous to do that unscrupulous thing.

Since Liu Ming severely punished the monks of Hualien Temple, the waist of the behead, the sentence of the prison sentence, made this land snake that had been entrenched in Chunfeng County for more than ten years finally annihilated.

At the same time, the folk customs are slowly turning positive. And Liu Ming, the champion of the county order, was even more impressed by the entire county government, and the wind of weakness and slackness slowly disappeared.

The officials all know that under the hands of this Qingtian lord, if he is still sloppy, he can only kill himself. So every morning, no one dared to sleep lazy, and the scribes of the third shift and six rooms arrived early to stand outside the hall, put down the solemn card, took out the apricot umbrella, put the title card, and waited for Liu Ming to try the case.

At this point, the Dengwen drum at the entrance of the county government rang again, and the entire county government resumed normal operation.

Every time Liu Ming decides a case, he is basically impartial, has a law to follow, and is reasonable. After several cases were judged, the local people were all impressed and called Chen Qingtian.

Hearing the sound of the blue sky of the mountain and the tsunami, Liu Ming will also sigh that a year ago, he was still in the county hall, and a year later he has become a seven-pin county. How much has life changed?

For Liu Ming, the daily county affairs of the county can still be handled.

After two months of being the magistrate, he is basically familiar with it.

When he didn't deal with county affairs, he walked out of the county office and walked around the city.

The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river.

In the distance, there are rows of purple old bases, and under the low-hanging yellow clouds, you can see withered and withered grass everywhere.

From time to time, strong winds rolled up, and Liu Ming habitually covered his face with his sleeves to avoid the wind and sand.

In the blink of an eye, I have lived here for more than two months. Liu Ming lives a completely different life. In this shell state, there is less singing and dancing, drunken gold fans, and more of a kind of barrenness of the frontier.

Whenever he finished dealing with county affairs, Liu Ming exchanged letters with Su Shi and others when he was free, and everyone told each other about the recent situation.

Su Shi's letter came the most diligently. Basically, three or four times a month. Su Shi told Liu Ming in the letter that this Hanlin editing was really boring. Most of the time, pass the time by drinking tea and chatting. Occasionally, the official would summon them and recite poems together. Su Shi was also depressed in his heart, saying that he wasted a lot of time, and when he was bored, he could only watch plays, play polo, and drink tea in the club.

Liu Ming read the letter and scolded in his heart, isn't this the retirement life I want? He was living and dying with the snake on the ground all day long in this Xinjiang, so Su Shi was happy. Liu Ming was angry and replied that his life was also boring, nothing more than riding a horse in the desert, admiring the moon on the beach, and singing and dancing with the herdsmen. As a result, Su Shi replied with envy.

Secondly, Wang Anshi sent a letter. He is two hundred miles away in Shuzhou Qin County Renzhi County. In this letter, Wang Anshi explained to Liu Ming the local people's feelings and customs, and at the same time, he also discussed how to reduce the pressure of the people's taxation and other topics in a regular and serious manner. Liu Ming guessed that Wang Anshi's life in Shuzhou was basically two words - government affairs, government affairs, or government affairs. He sometimes wanted to joke with Wang Anshi, but found that the other party seemed to lack some humorous cells, so he simply gave up.

Liu Yongxin came the least diligent. It's only one in three months. Life is basically free and easy, and the core two are food and travel. Playing in the mountains and rivers, indulging in the mountains and rivers, in Liu Ming's opinion, most of the content of this letter was to anger him. He could only reply to wish Xie Yuying an unexpected pregnancy.

On moonlit nights, wild geese fly over the night sky from time to time.

In the courtyard of the county government, Apricot is scrubbing her dirty laundry in a wooden basin.

Liu Ming saw that Xing'er was dressed in a light gray cloth suit, rolled up her sleeves and rubbed her clothes, and felt pity in her heart, stepped forward to hold the other party's Qianqian's fine hand, and said, "Lady, this kind of thing can be done by the next person." ”

"It's okay, husband, I'm bored too." Apricot smiled wisely.

Liu Ming was moved, put his hands around the other party's thin waist, and grinded his ears and temples: "Xing'er, you came here with me, but it really hurt you." I eat ash and sand all day long, and my little beauty has become an aunt. ”

Xing'er's hands were covered with soap foam, and she smeared it on Liu Ming's face, giggling: "Then you are the uncle." ”

"Xing'er, you haven't changed in the past few years, I just like your ice and jade appearance."

"Husband, you haven't changed."

Xing'er hung her hands around Liu Ming's neck, and said softly: "Husband, when I arrived in Chunfeng County, I saw that most of the people here were hungry and unclothed. I feel that the previous days were too good. These days, I have also reflected on it, these colorful skirts seem to be too ostentatious to wear here, but this coarse linen dress is comfortable to wear. ”

Xing'er raised her goose egg face, her eyes were crystal black, and she said softly: "Husband, I am also a little bored in this mansion, and I want to find something to do." ”

"Oh?" Liu Ming smiled, "Then I'll ask Master Wu's wife to take you around." ”

"No, no. I don't really like the short-term things in parents. I want to ......" Xing'er bit her lip, "husband, you are so powerful, everything you do is for the benefit of the country and the people." I also want to do something to benefit people's livelihoods. ”

Liu Ming looked at his wife with a different gaze, and suddenly looked at him with more appreciation, he ran his hand through Xing'er's hair, and said softly: "Okay, what do you want to do?" ”

Xing'er blinked her eyes and said, "Husband, since you told the world about the evil deeds of the Hualien Temple, the sons born to those women who had begged for children in the temple, the older children have all been driven out of the house, and the younger ones have drowned directly. I think it's kind of cruel......"

In ancient times, it was not an exaggeration to drown any child born of a cuckold according to local customs. It's just that this apricot has been with Liu Ming for a long time, and her way of thinking has become a little different and modern.

"No matter what, it's a life, husband, don't you say?" Apricot rested her head on Liu Ming's shoulder.

"Okay, so what do you want to do?" Liu Ming asked.

"I want to set up a Salesian Bureau to take in the children who are innocently involved in the Hualien Temple case and raise them so that they will not be displaced." Xing'er lightly opened her lips and hesitated, "But my father taught me before, so that I can't be a middleman, and I will serve my in-laws as filial piety and my husband as courtesy." Husband, you say that I am a woman, wouldn't it be too ostentatious to show up and do this? ”

"How so?" Liu Ming shook his head and smiled, "Xing'er, if you can have such a mind, I am also very happy." This Salesian Bureau, I will discuss with Master Wu and establish it as soon as possible. ”

The next day, Liu Ming told Master Wu about Xing'er's idea of opening a Salesian Bureau. When Master Wu heard that Shangfeng was going to do relief and charity, he was also happy, and he was busy letting his wife take Xing'er out to see the venue.

Mrs. Wu, who listened to her husband talk about Liu Ming's talent at home for three days and two ends, was even more impressed when she saw Xing'er and saw her beautiful and bright. She took Xing'er around the county, and finally chose a three-entry mansion and made a contract with the owner of the mansion.

Regarding the rent, although Mrs. Wu insisted that the county government would bear all the costs. However, Xing'er remembered Liu Ming's advice and knew that the funds of Chunfeng County were originally stretched, so she advocated paying for herself.

The owner of the house knew that the tenant was an insider of the county magistrate, and he did a good job of helping the poor and needy, as long as half of the rent. At this point, both sides were happy.

Since the Hualien Temple case, about 60 or 70 people have been involved and found to be children who are not the original husbands, and nearly half of them have been evicted from their homes by their families. Many can only wander the streets, and some have even disappeared.

Whenever Apricot was shopping on the street and met these children and saw them displaced, she felt uncomfortable and had the idea of starting a Salesian Bureau.

On this day, Liu Ming finished handling government affairs in the county office, and when he thought of Xing'er's Salesian Bureau, he took two entourages and took a sedan chair to take a look.

The two messengers guarding at the gate of the Salesian Bureau saw Liu Ming coming, and immediately saluted: "Your Excellency, ......"

Liu Ming bowed his head slightly and walked in.

In the courtyard, three or five children were riding wooden horses and playing with each other. Two nurses are holding two younger children and lulling them to sleep.

Seeing Liu Ming come in, all the children stopped and looked at Liu Ming timidly.

"Adults are here......," the nurse glanced at the children, "everyone kneel down." ”

The children of the "Adult ......" followed the nurse and bowed down.

Liu Ming hurriedly asked the children to get up.

"Who is he?" An eight-year-old boy in a short shirt asked, snorting.

"I know, he's Sister Xing'er's husband." Another little girl with pigtails scrambled to speak.

As soon as they heard that it was Xing'er's sister's husband, all the children surrounded Liu Ming, less restrained, and some directly dragged Liu Ming's clothes to ask questions.

Liu Ming didn't expect that these children had such a good impression of Xing'er, he couldn't resist it, and hurriedly shouted: "Fakong, come in." ”

Fakong sucked the lollipop and ran in, and when he saw so many children, his eyes lit up.

"Fakong, you have a good time with them." Liu Ming said with a smile.

Fakong stood in the middle of the children, and immediately someone touched the door of his bare head, looking at him with rare eyes.

Fakong was not annoyed, and let them touch it with a smile, sometimes taking the lollipop out of his mouth, sucking it for the other party, and putting it back in his mouth.

Liu Ming understands that he should still take Fakong to play with his peers. Although Fakong is strong in martial arts, he is mentally a child. On weekdays, he can only recite scriptures or eat in the corner alone, and has nothing to do.

After a while, Fakong mingled with the children and had a great time.

Liu Ming smiled, walked into the side room, and saw Xing'er come out.

He scraped the tip of Xing'er's nose lovingly: "Is it difficult to be the mother of so many children now?" ”

Xing'er smiled: "It's not difficult, it's fun." ”

"Fun?" Liu Ming couldn't help laughing, "Then you take in a few more." ”

He saw a few familiar women's faces in a corner of the room, and for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen them.

Xing'er saw Liu Ming looking at them and explained: "The Salesian Bureau needs manpower to take care of the children, so I took in those women who were expelled from their homes because of the Hualien Temple case and had nowhere to return. Otherwise, if these women are desperate and enter the brothel of the Qinglou, it will be even worse. ”

The women immediately stood up, lowered their heads one by one, and timidly lowered themselves towards Liu Ming: "I've seen adults." Thank you for taking it in. ”

Liu Ming bowed: "You can live here in peace, no one here will bully you." ”
