Look at the pitiful look of the little girl. Chen Zikun felt pity and reached out to help her, as soon as she touched her skin, she jumped up like an electric shock, and then calmed down again and bowed her head deeply.

"Girl, your father forced you to come." Chan said.

"Yes...... No, no, no, it's my personal willingness to serve the chairman, and it's an honor for our whole family to serve the chairman," the little girl muttered like an endorsement.

Chen Zikun didn't plan to eat this plate of side dishes, but hated Chen Gui's sinister intentions, knowing that he wanted to investigate the Chen family, he used this beauty trick to offer his daughter.

This girl is her niece's generation, even if she is fresh, Chen Zikun can't get out of this mouth, if she is left to serve herself in the bath, even if she doesn't do anything, it will be called yellow mud falling in the crotch of her pants, not is.

"Go back, I don't need you to serve." Chan said.

The little girl hurriedly said: "Please don't dislike the chairman, people are still innocent......"

Chen Zikun smiled: "Where did you learn this, one set at a time, if you don't go, right, if you don't go, I'll go." After saying that, she got up and wanted to leave, but the little girl knelt in front of him: "Chairman Chen, please, let me serve you." ”

"Your father is too disagreeable, I'll go to him." Chen Zikun was faintly angry.

The little girl kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Don't tell my father, not only Brother Guo can't live." ”

Chen Zikun was suspicious: "Who is Brother Guo?" ”

The little girl knew that she had lost her words, and she refused to open her mouth when she was killed, but she kept sobbing.

Chen Zikun brushed his sleeves away, and as soon as he went out, he saw Liu Ting standing under the tree.

"When did you come?" Chen Zikun asked with a smile.

"I've been here for a while, but I didn't go in for fear of disturbing you." Liu Ting also smiled tacitly.

"You go and coax her, it seems that there is something hidden." Chan said.

Liu Ting walked into the house, and after a while, the sobbing slowly stopped, and half an hour later, Liu Ting took the little girl's hand and came out, touched her head and said, "Go back and answer your father according to what my sister taught you, understand?" ”

The little girl nodded, glanced at Chen Zikun, her little face turned red, and she left with her head down.

It was getting late, the red glow was all over the sky, the cool breeze was gusting, and the beautiful scenery was like this, Chen Zikun was in a little better mood, and he sat on the stone bench by the pond with Liu Ting and chatted.

Liu Ting said: "Chen Gui's second daughter is called Chen Xiangxiang, since she was a child, she and her neighbor Meng Xianguo were childhood sweethearts...... Hehe, it's a very old-fashioned story, but it happened alive around me, Chen Gui took Meng Xianguo's life to threaten his daughter and forced him to serve you, but it's a pity that I met a Chairman Chen who doesn't eat fireworks in the world. ”

Chen Zikun said: "It's not that I don't eat fireworks in the world, I almost moved my mortal heart just now, it's hot this day, and the fire is also prosperous." ”

Liu Ting said: "If you have the heart to take care of the Chen family, it is not impossible to accept the incense." With that, he turned his head and looked angry.

Chen Zikun smiled: "I'm really angry, I'm joking with you, I'm not interested in the little hairy girl." ”

Liu Ting said: "That's it, how high your taste is, either you are the top brand in the flower world, or you are a celebrity daughter, no matter how bad you are, you are a woman or something." ”

Chen Zikun laughed: "You make fun of me." ”

Liu Ting said: "Amorous may not be a husband, I don't dare to make fun of you, the water in the bucket is not cold yet, if you feel hot, go take a bath." ”

"No one waits, you can't wash it."

"Why don't I wait for the chairman to bathe?"

"Okay."

"Think beautifully."

……

Xiangxiang didn't stay long in the back garden before coming out, Chen Gui and his wives were still waiting in the hall, seeing his daughter coming back, her gait was normal, not like the appearance of the bud, Chen Gui was suddenly disappointed: "Xiangxiang, after you served the chairman to take a bath, didn't stay to talk to him?" ”

"Dad, I didn't wait for Chairman Chen to take a bath." Xiangxiang snorted.

Chen Gui's eyebrows were raised, and Chen Kangzheng also sighed, what a good opportunity, it's a waste, if you are a daughter, how can you get a sister in this kind of good thing, alas, I don't know if Chairman Chen is good at Longyang...... My own chrysanthemum can be used even after washing.

He was thinking nonsense here, Chen Gui was already losing his temper: "What's the use of raising you to lose money, you won't be able to serve people." ”

Xiangxiang said aggrievedly: "Secretary Liu said that there is a difference between men and women, and he didn't let me serve Chairman Chen to take a bath, and I served Secretary Liu to take a bath." ”

Chen Gui was taken aback, Secretary Liu, why did you forget her, it seems that the relationship between this secretary and Chairman Chen is not simple, and it is a mistake.

If you can't make a plan, Chen Gui went back to the house and opened the cabinet, took out a heavy mahogany box, and went to the back garden with it in person...... Chen Gui secretly regretted it, and trotted over with the box in his hand: "Chairman Chen is good, Secretary Liu is good." ”

"Master Chen, it's so late, is there something wrong?" Liu Ting said.

"Hehe, a little heart is dedicated to Chairman Chen and Secretary Liu, it is not a respect, it is not a respect." Chen Gui opened the box, and inside were the twelve zodiac signs made of gold, each about ten taels, with exquisite workmanship and shining brightly.

"That's embarrassing." Liu Ting said with a smile.

"There are no good things in the countryside, so it's appropriate to play with the children with some gold utensils." Chen Gui lowered his eyebrows and made a good gesture.

Chen Zikun nodded reservedly.

Liu Ting said generously: "Master Chen has a heart, I thank you for the chairman." ”

Chen Gui's heart blossomed, and he said, "Don't disturb Chairman Chen and Secretary Liu to rest." "After that, I am destined to have a good dream tonight.

Looking at Chen Gui's back and going away, Chen Zikun was as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly: "The shot is more than a hundred taels of gold, this stroke is too big, ordinary small households in Nantai are rare to even see silver dollars, his family has a mountain of gold and silver, check, you must check clearly." ”

……

The next day, it rained heavily and the roads were slippery and difficult to navigate, so a battalion of troops from Beitailai arrived at the Dawanghe Wharf by boat, drove into the city in the rain, and set up guards around the county office.

But none of the bitter masters who handed over the form yesterday came, and no one came out after beating the gong and shouting three times in a robe, and the yamen was deserted, and the county magistrate Zhou pretended to wonder: "How is this going on?" ”

Of course Chen Zikun knows what's going on, he went to the Chen family compound for one night, the county doesn't know how many rumors, it is impossible to make a private visit to Weifu, so they can only let the facts speak and let the people know that someone is in charge for them.

Liu Ting is also very decisive, the people of the county government do not contribute to the work, she simply invited a few teachers and students from the county to help her count and sort out the land deed documents, the efficiency has really improved a lot, after checking that Chen Gui has 3,500 acres of irrigated land, 5,000 acres of dry land, eight houses, 12 facades along the streets of the county, five coal kilns, one iron mine, it is worth noting that eighty percent of the real estate was delivered last year.

"Last year's floods in the south, the Huai River also burst and flooded, the cultivated land in Nantai was seriously waterlogged, there was no harvest, and many homesteaders fled to the famine, presumably the Chen family took this opportunity to buy land at a low price." Liu Ting made a very reasonable judgment.

Chen Zikun said: "There is no legal crime for this alone, and you have to start with the criminal case. ”

Shuangxi took someone to look for it, and only came back an hour later, with an unnatural expression: "The bitter master hanged himself, and the two children did not know where to go." ”

Chen Zikun's heart was cold, very unpleasant, personally braved the rain to go to the scene to check, the body had many bruises, it was clear that he was killed and hung on a rope to make a suicide illusion, her house was a broken grass shed, it was raining heavily outside, it was raining lightly in the house, the house was surrounded by walls, and there was not even anything of value.

By the way, I walked around the village, almost all of the houses made of adobe and thatch, except for poverty and poverty, and the bleak scene was even worse than when there were bandits.

Back at the county government, Chen Zikun first arrested the county magistrate Zhou, and then directly sent a company of soldiers to arrest all the guards in the Chen family compound, and the Chen family was forbidden to go out and waited for disposal.

Chen Gui didn't expect the storm to come so suddenly, he was fine yesterday, why did he turn his face the next day, and hurriedly asked his son: "Little ancestor, what good things have you done." ”

Chen Kangzheng looked aggrieved: "I didn't do anything, I just took care of a shrew who wanted to sue." ”

Chen Gui pulled over with an ear scraper: "Can't you wait for someone to leave before you start, you have to kill people at this juncture, you have a long life." ”

Chen Kangzheng covered his face and said, "Dad, didn't Chairman Chen accept our family's gold, what are you afraid of?" ”

Another ear scraper: "Idiot! ”

After severe torture, the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion admitted that he led someone to kill someone and sold the child to a neighboring county, but the whole thing was instructed by Young Master Chen to do it.

Chen Zikun immediately sent someone to arrest Chen's father and son, and handed them over to the department for interrogation.

The army launched a large-scale search and arrest with the cooperation of the county security regiment, and caught the so-called *** guerrillas on Daqingshan, which was actually just a gang composed of several villagers, with a pistol and a few big knives, led by Chen Xiangxiang's lover Meng Xianguo.

Chen Zikun personally interrogated Meng Xianguo: "You hit me with a black gun that day?" ”

"It's me!" Although Meng Xianguo is only eighteen years old, he is a well-known man.

"Why did you kill me?"

"Because you're damned! The people who were forced by you to ruin their families are looking forward to your early death! Meng Xianguo's eyes were red, and his eyes were about to split.

"Take it down and interrogate it properly." Chan Tsz-kun is excited.

The person was taken down, Liu Ting walked in with a piece of paper, and said worriedly: "The statistical results have been preliminarily calculated, Chen Gui is not the largest landlord in Nantai, he can only be ranked after the fifth." ”

Chen Zikun said: "His family has nearly 10,000 acres of land, but he can only rank after the fifth? ”

Liu Ting said: "That's the case, the big landlords in Nantai County have the Gong family, the Chen family, the Li family, the Gai family, the Liang family, etc., of which the land of the Gong and Chen families is more than 50,000 acres, and the Chen family here refers to Chen Shou, not Chen Gui, but Chen Shou is not the largest landlord." ”

"Who is the biggest landlord?" Chen Zikun asked viciously.

Liu Ting looked him in the eyes calmly: "The biggest landlord is you, you have more land in your name than all of them combined, and the acres of land occupied by the landlords and wealthy families account for more than seventy percent of the total cultivated land in Nantai, that is to say, people who are less than 0.01 percent of the population own 70 percent of the means of production." ”
