Chapter 18 Fear

When Chen Bozhao was sent to his grandmother's house, Chen Ningning had already realized that Li Yuntian's situation had become bad, and she couldn't help but feel worried about him. The fastest and most stable update is to see the latest chapter of Perfect World.

Later, when she heard about Li Yuntian's affairs in Baishui Town, she knew that he was a good official, and her attitude towards Li Yuntian gradually changed subtly.

As time went by, Chen Ningning became more and more uneasy, her mind was full of Li Yuntian's shadow, and she realized at this time that she didn't know when she had fallen in love with this young county master.

She knew that the documents of the imperial court to dispose of Li Yuntian would be delivered to Jiujiang Mansion, and she also knew that with the completion of the reconstruction task of Baishui Town, Li Yuntian would return to the county office, and once Li Yuntian returned to the county office, the two might never see each other again.

Chen Ningning really couldn't suppress the idea of going to see Li Yuntian, so he took advantage of the end of the heavy snow and hurried to Baishui Town by boat, but he didn't expect to meet Li Yuntian who was in deep thought on the dock.

Li Yuntian's affectionate "Mulan Ci" made Chen Ningning's heart surging with infinite ripples, setting off a huge wave, she didn't expect Li Yuntian to be so affectionate to herself.

As the initiator of the incident, Li Yuntian didn't expect that a poem he came up with would cause so much trouble to Chen Ningning, and led Luo Ming to the Baishui Town Inspection Division.

The sergeants of the inspection department are exercising in the school field, one by one, they are vigorous, they are powerful, the food of the inspection department has now made a qualitative leap, and they can eat meat dishes every day.

"Lord Prefectural." Seeing Li Yuntian, the sergeants stopped and saluted him.

Li Yuntian smiled and waved his hand, signaling them to continue practicing, and walked towards Zhao Hua's public house.

"Brother-in-law, you can leave the affairs of the room to me, why bother to cheapen outsiders." As soon as he reached the door, he heard a man's voice coming from inside.

"I sue you, don't fight the idea of the gang, if the sergeants can't eat well, the county lord can't spare me." Zhao Hua's voice then came out.

"Brother-in-law, why are you so desperate, I heard that the surname Li is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect himself, what are you afraid of him doing?" The man who spoke before suddenly said disdainfully, then changed his tone and asked with a smile, "Brother-in-law, I heard my sister say that the person surnamed Li gave you two thousand taels of silver as the salary of the inspection department, is this matter true or ......false?"

Smack, before the man's words were finished, a crisp sound sounded in the room, and then Zhao Hua's low roar came, "Bastard, how can you scream nonsense about the name of the county lord!" ”

Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, opened the curtain and walked in.

Because Zhang Youde did not allocate the remaining 1,000 taels of silver to the Inspection Department, and he was in a worrying situation, Zhao Hua seemed a little uneasy and pessimistic about the future of the Inspection Department.

In order to make Zhao Hua feel at ease, Li Yuntian handed over the more than 2,000 taels of gift money he received when he took a concubine last time to Zhao Hua, so that Zhao Hua could operate according to his requirements for at least two years.

Even if he really got bad luck and was punished by the imperial court and transferred out of Hukou County, then he could train a group of strong patrol sergeants for Hukou County, and he would be worthy of the people of Hukou County.

Of course, Li Yuntian would not just hand over the money to Zhao Hua so lightly, he not only asked Zhao Hua to write a receipt and enter it into the account book of the Inspection Division, but also asked Zhao Hua to write down the incident of the water bandits' delay in the fighter plane when they came to Baishui Town, and held it in his hand as a handle.

Zhao Hua knew that Li Yuntian had taken all the responsibility for the water bandits encountered in Baishui Town, and he was not implicated, so he naturally did not dare to disobey, and honestly wrote down the situation that night according to Li Yuntian's intentions, and signed and signed it.

Li Yuntian told Zhao Hua that if Zhao Hua used the more than 2,000 taels of silver for the normal daily use of the Inspection Division, then he would return the paper to him two years later.

If he dares to be greedy for ink from it, then this piece of paper is enough to put him as a mortal enemy, you must know that Emperor Yongle hates the act of escaping on the battlefield the most, and Li Yuntian has a lot of friendship in the capital, enough to stab this matter in front of Emperor Yongle, and no one will be able to save him at that time.

Under Li Yuntian's continuous bluffing, Zhao Hua was eaten to death by him, Zhao Hua didn't want to lose his head because of these silvers, so he didn't dare to fight the idea of silver, let alone silver, and he didn't even let his brother-in-law touch his room, for fear that something would go wrong.

"Inspector Zhang, what's wrong?" When Li Yuntian walked into the room, he saw a tall and thin young man in his twenties sitting on the ground with his teeth covered with his cheeks covered with his teeth bared, so he pretended not to know and looked at Zhao Hua, who was pale.

"This is the brother-in-law of the lowly position, and when he loses the gambling money, he comes to the lowly position to ask for it, and he is taught a lesson by the lowly position, which makes the adults laugh." Zhao Hua didn't expect Li Yuntian to come over, so he hurriedly greeted him, bowed down and said.

"Don't get out of here, it's embarrassing here!" Then, he glared at the tall, thin young man.

The thin and tall young man's face turned pale with fright, he didn't expect Li Yuntian to appear, if he heard what he said just now, then he would be in big trouble, so he quickly got up and nodded to Li Yuntian, and left as if he had fled.

"What do you have to do here?" Zhao Hua gave Li Yuntian a cup of hot water, and asked with a smile on his face, he is now completely afraid of this young county master.

"Inspector Zhang, the official wants to know, who came up with the idea that Mrs. Zun led someone to stop the official that night?" Li Yuntian took a sip of hot water and asked.

Zhao Hua was slightly stunned, looking quite surprised, he didn't know how to answer for a while, he never imagined that Li Yuntian would ask about this matter anyway.

"You can rest assured that this official will not embarrass him." Seeing Zhao Hua's hesitant look, Li Yuntian knew that he had guessed correctly, and sure enough, someone was pointing him behind the scenes.

"To tell you the truth, the person who came up with this idea was lawyer Yang Yungui." Zhao Hua weighed it and told Li Yuntian truthfully, he now believes that Li Yuntian is definitely not the kind of villain who will repay him, otherwise he would have been used as a scapegoat.

"Lawyer Yang Yungui?" Li Yuntian has heard of this name for the first time, but since he can become a lawyer, he must also be a scholar.

Then he remembered one thing, that is, the clear and neatly written sheet that Liu Bo had handed him earlier.

The emergence of litigators has its peculiarity, because the vast majority of the ancient people did not go to school and were illiterate, so they had to hire someone to write the pleadings on their behalf when they filed lawsuits.

Over time, the profession of lawyer appeared, because the lawyer is a cheap profession in the eyes of scholars, and it is not recognized by the government, so few scholars will do this profession, which makes it very few people engaged in this profession.

Therefore, Liu Bo's appearance may be from Yang Yungui's handwriting, but unfortunately he did not ask Liu Bo's origin at that time.

In fact, the lawyer is not as glamorous as the outside world thinks, and the officials who can fight the trial of the case with an incorruptible tongue in the lobby, after all, the trial is the presiding judge's business, how can outsiders interfere?

According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, litigators can only write pleadings or documents on their behalf, and cannot appear in court to represent the lawsuit, and their role is mainly to give advice to the complainant behind the scenes and provide legal support.

"It's not rude to come and go!" For Yang Yungui, Li Yuntian couldn't help but be a little interested, he felt that this person had some talent, otherwise he would not be able to be a lawyer.

Since Yang Yungui secretly "calculated" him, if he didn't look at Yang Yungui with a little "color", Yang Yungui might still think that his county was a bully.

On the morning of the next day, Li Yuntian led Lu Cao, Luo Ming and others to return to the county seat of Hukou County, and Zhao Hua, Zhang Youcai, Chen Bozhao and other leading figures in the town all came to send them.

Although Li Yuntian is about to be unlucky, he is still the magistrate of Hukou County after all, and everyone's face etiquette must be thorough, if Li Yuntian is neglected, he may not cause any trouble, there is a good saying, a thin camel is bigger than a horse.

Compared with Zhang Youcai and Chen Bozhao, who were perfunctory squires and businessmen, the people in Baishui Town were much simpler.

Although Li Yuntian's time in Baishui Town was still short, he was diligent and dedicated to the people in the disaster relief, so that the victims were quickly resettled.

"My lord, this is a jar of wine bought by the victims of the town with money, although it is not a good thing, but it represents a part of our hearts, please be sure to accept it." After Li Yuntian said goodbye to Zhao Hua and the others, a white-haired old man knelt in front of him holding a jar of local famous liquor "Poyang Drunk" in both hands and said loudly.

"Old man, your kindness has been accepted by the official, and if you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to the county office to find the official." Li Yuntian didn't shirk it, let Luo Ming on the side take the jar of liquor, and helped the old man up with a smile.

"Everyone, there will be a meeting later." Then, he arched his hand to the people around him and said goodbye to the people at the scene.

"I wish you a smooth journey." Zhao Hua and others bowed to Li Yuntian one after another.

"Send it to your lord." The old man who delivered the wine knelt down on his knees and said in a loud voice.

Under the leadership of the old man, the people around him knelt on the ground with a hula, which was the highest respect they could express to Li Yuntian.

Li Yuntian glanced around at the people kneeling at the scene, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart, in fact, he felt that he didn't do anything, just did his duty.

"Wait!" Just as Li Yuntian was about to board the carriage, a woman's coquettish voice came from behind him.

Not only Li Yuntian, but the people around looked at the sound one after another, only to see a woman dressed in a red hat squeezed out of the crowd, panting, and it seemed that she had run all the way.
