After making sure that there was no one around, Niu Yongcai said: "There is something I shouldn't have said, but I owe you a personal favor last time, so I should tell you about it." ”

Xia Qiu was puzzled, "What's the matter?" ”

"Some time ago, there was a mysterious person who went up to Woniu Ridge and paid a lot of money to want us to join them. That person, at first glance, is a master of the rivers and lakes, and most of them are members of the killer organization. Strange to say, he paid us for nothing, saying that good steel should be used on the blade. The big boss felt that something was wrong, and he didn't agree to his surrender, I think that person is not simple, I don't know if there is any harm to the government? ”

Xia Qiu frowned, "When did it happen?" "The bandits in Woniuling are mixed, and it is absolutely impossible to purely cultivate them into a Jianghu organization. Raising hundreds of people in vain is very likely to deal with the government.

Niu Yong recalled, "I also received the story of the front and back feet of the Zhao'an letter." ”

"You talked about it, did he come back later?" Why is it so coincidental, not sooner or later, just in time for the government to recruit security? Was he premeditated, or did he know about the government's movements?

Niu Yong shook his head, "It hasn't happened again." ”

"Remember what he looked like?"

"I heard from the big boss, that man is wearing a mask, and his figure is not very tall, but he seems to be quite fat, but he is very agile."

Thinking about this matter, Xia Qiu felt that the mysterious person who surrendered might have something to do with the organization of refining puppet corpses in his previous life, otherwise why spend a lot of money to raise bandits?

Don't look at the corner of Linxian County, but geography is extremely important, once the translation is opened, the army of the imperial court can pass through the mountains and mountains, enter the army to the north to take the three counties, to the east up to five states, retreat can guard Liangzhou, deter the southwest barbarian state.

In her previous life, as a puppet corpse, she traveled day and night with her partners, through the mountains and mountains, and went deep into the hinterland of the Dongzhou Continent, but unfortunately her brain was completely corroded later and she had no memory.

Xia Qiu was in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes after returning home, so he repeated Niu Yong's words to Lu Tingxiu word for word, so that he could have an idea.

After listening, Lu Tingxiu was noncommittal, but smelled the strong smell of wine on her body, and his brows furrowed.

Xia Qiu was anxious, "My lord, you should give a word." ”

"You are a girl, listening to the wind is rain, and the yamen is opened by your family?"

Xia Qiu was not convinced, "Isn't what you drove my family?" ”

"It's all just your guess, don't keep the rumors." Lu Tingxiu glanced at her and said dissatisfiedly: "Moreover, the gang in Woniuling has already recruited An, and the Yamen has limited troops, so no one has time to dispel your suspicions, unless you come up with evidence." ”

"......" Xia Qiu was indignant, and the fire in his stomach jumped up, but after thinking about it, he was right, the yamen was so kind of people, and even cleaning up a bully had to use a roundabout technique, if there was such a group of people, they would rush up rashly now, and they were afraid that there would be no bones left to be swallowed.

However, he not only didn't have any trust, but also felt that she was adding to the chaos. Even if he has a little snack, it is very likely that he will ...... Forget it, what happened in her previous life, even if she mustered up the courage to say it, he wouldn't believe it, but would think that she was crazy.

Xia Qiu was full of loss and said depressedly: "You can do it yourself, you don't believe me anyway." ”

Junyi's facial features showed a half-smile, thinking that she was just making a big fuss.

Xia Qiu was so angry that he turned around and left.

Lu Tingxiu's smile suddenly sank, and he took out the special pen and ink in the drawer, and quickly wrote a book.

Zhao'an, there is no second person in the government except him and Xia Fatpang who knows about it, who leaked the news?

There are many complicated people in Woniuling, could it be them?

The water in Lin County is bottomless.

**********

Lei Da is a rough man, but he is bold and affectionate, and he has become a year-old friend with Lu Ting just by virtue of his relationship.

At Lu Tingxiu's suggestion, he took the brothers from Woniuling to set up the Four Seas Dart Bureau, which not only escorted food and medicinal materials, but also took over other businesses.

The brothers turned against each other, their business was robbed, Wu Tongxing was furious, and the escort fee of the grain dart team could only be reduced by three percent.

His family is powerful, and the businessmen are very jealous, and most of the business is still done for him.

Even so, after a rough calculation, the Four Seas Dart Bureau still has an income of twenty or thirty thousand taels a year, and they don't have to hide in the mountains to starve and freeze, they are already satisfied.

The new grain with reduced freight costs will not arrive until a month later, but the rice shop has already reduced the price one after another. Finally, there is no need to eat expensive rice, the people are simple and enthusiastic, and they will often send some melons and fruits to the yamen, saying that they are grateful to the county magistrate.

Lin County re-stabilized, the rice shop business in summer and autumn is thriving, she from the group of beggars in Ergou, selected a few nimble children to help in the shop, and also selected a teenage female beggar named Xiao Shao, brought into the Lu Mansion to do chores, and she couldn't let the old man go hungry when he was away.

Wu Ze went to Liangzhou to buy medicinal materials, and before leaving, Xia Qiu deliberately went to Wu's house to eat. In just a few days, Jin's has changed a lot, she likes the busyness of the hospital, and her eyes are shining when she talks.

Xia Qiu sighed that A-Niang had a bleak life in her previous life and could not end well, but in this life she finally lived for herself.

Wu Yu was the same as before, silent, bowing his head silently to eat, and only when his family asked, he would answer two sentences.

After the meal, Wu Ze sent Xia Qiu to the door, rubbed his hands and stopped talking.

Xia Qiu knew what he was worried about, "Brother Wu, don't worry, I will take care of your family, and let Ergou send some rice and noodles to eat every two days." ”

"My mother and Wu Yu have been in the hospital all day, I don't worry about eating, I'm just afraid of ......" Wu Ze's face was sneering, and he said: "My father hasn't been here for a few days, but I'm afraid that as soon as I leave, he will come to make trouble again." ”

"He gambles outside every day, and he may run away to avoid debts after losing the gambling." Xia Qiu knew it, and pretended to comfort: "Don't worry, I'm here, I guarantee that he won't come." Wu Laosan stayed in prison, and he couldn't go anywhere without her consent.

Wu Ze's expression was gloomy, "Then it's troublesome for the owner." "He doesn't care whether he lives or dies, as long as he doesn't come to harass A-Niang and his sister.

The yamen is getting busier and busier, from being idle in the past to getting hair on the soles of his feet, and now he is so busy that he breaks his legs. What Xinzhi County did was like a spark burning the prairie fire, and the brainless people trusted the government again, and they came to ask for help for big things.

When Xia Qiu delivered food to Lu Tingxiu, Xu Mingliang was complaining, "Damn, Lao Tzu is handling cases, not looking for cats and dogs for them." ”

Scolding and scolding, he still ordered the people below to do it.

"Who made Master Dianshi angry?" There was a lot of food, and Xia Qiu gave him a portion.

"Sister Xia, you should take care of Lord Lu." Xu Mingliang ate with chopsticks, and kept complaining: "Those ordinary people, the matter of sesame mung beans is bigger, they all came to the government, today this family lost a handful of vegetables, tomorrow his chicken was stolen, where can we be busy, but Lord Lu wants us to do it, he is so used to those idiots, he wants to exhaust us to death." ”

The more he talked, the more angry he became, Xu Mingliang couldn't eat his rice, "An old man came today, saying that his own cattle were lost, let's go find it." It's really funny, he didn't look for it himself, he walked five miles to report the crime, let's find it. ”

Xu Mingliang and others are used to taking money to mess around, and it is inevitable to complain when they are busy for a while, Xia Qiu said with a dry smile: "A cow is worth more than ten taels of silver, which is the most valuable belongings of the banker, and he can't go to find it if he loses the cow, right?" ”

"His cow was lost near the Black Burning Mountain, which is a ghost place that eats people and does not spit out bones, and he didn't dare to look for it, so he came to report it and let us find it. His life is worth money, but ours is not? ”

Xu Mingming's fire burned more and more, "Lord Lu is like being hit by a drop in the head, he has to ask us to find it, and he said to bring a few more people." ”

Xia Qiu was stunned and puzzled: "Why is it said that Heizhuo Mountain is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones?" ”
