Mrs. Qian's witnesses did not live in Lihong County, and if they wanted to collect evidence, they had to find someone, Mrs. Qian provided a place for a person to live, and Lin Da had to run with Lin Er.

"You are outside, wearing the clothes of this yamen, but you must not cause trouble, these cakes are left on the road to eat, and the money is also saved to spend, but don't be hungry." Xi Hongdou is very housewife-like, and now the economy of the yamen is tight, and everyone has to be frugal and calculate the flowers.

Lin Da responded, the bandits in the past can now become officials, and they can't dream that their brothers must do this errand well, and it is indeed the most correct idea to follow Xiao Zhi.

One day, Xi Hongdou watched the jailer carry the food box to the prison for three days, and he had a guess in his heart, and when Sun Fang took the food box again, he asked Liu Fu to take a look, and Liu Fu came back and said: "Then Guo Xiaochun is not only delicious and delicious in the big fish and meat, but also ...... There was also a dusty woman who went into the cell...... "I'm really happy like a fairy!"

When Xiao Zhi heard this, he said, "The jailer has received benefits." Then he went straight to prison

Sun Fang was taken aback, his jailer's errand work is not much, although he doesn't work much, but it is naturally good to have extra income, Guo Xiaochun gave him silver, he went to Guo's house to run an errand, and Guo's family gave him silver, so that he could wait for a good life, and now he has been discovered, how can this be said......

"It's a really moisturizing day." Xiao Zhi smiled, looking at Sun Fang, he wanted to stare Sun Fang to death with his eyes, he arrested people in, but now Guo Xiaochun is using people from the yamen as the uncle, whose face is this?

Sun Fang was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "The adults forgive their sins, and the little ones are also ......."

Guo Xiaochun laughed directly and said: "They all said that you let me go, the Guo family is not easy to mess with, these little shrimps, as long as you give a little money, they will do things for me like dogs, what can you do as an official?" "There are also those who dare not give evidence, some are really timid, some of the world directly accepted the Guo family's money, and those who have a hard time, as long as they give money, they can shut up.

Xiao Zhi also smiled: "I underestimated your shamelessness, but let's wait and see, can you leave the yamen with a swagger in a month!" "If you really want Guo Xiaochun to leave like this, he doesn't have to be an official!

When Xiao Zhi left the prison, he said to Sun Fang, who was kneeling: "If you give him preferential treatment again, you can also go in and be a companion!" ”

"Yes!" Sun Fang hurriedly responded, and he was also relieved in his heart, but he didn't dare to do anything for the Guo family after that, this new county master made it clear that he wanted to fight with the Guo family.

Without preferential treatment, Guo Xiaochun's three meals a day are two nests and a plate of pickles, and it doesn't take a day to make Guo Xiaochun angry.

"You took our Guo family's money, and if you don't do it at this time, you won't do it?" Guo Xiaochun scolded Sun Fang, is this meal eaten by people? His Guo family's dogs eat a hundred times better than this!

Sun Fang took out the money directly and said, "I will also return the money to Guo Ye, I can't help it!" ”

Guo Xiaochun saw that he was here to call the earth and the earth not to be spiritual, and he didn't eat the pig food, so he was dizzy with hunger in just one day. Sun Fang saw that Guo Xiaochun was hungry like that, and he smiled in his heart, if he didn't eat it again, it would be better to starve to death like this, and it could be regarded as a scourge.

However, Guo Xiaochun still cheered up in the end, he had to wait for his family to save him, and finally his head choked, which made Sun Fang say that he was very sorry that he couldn't die of hunger.

Outside, the Guo family is not idle, there are many people who have come to lobby the yamen in the past few days, and the Guo family has not come forward directly, but the gold and silver are carried to the door of the yamen, but they are all rejected at the door.

"Now everyone is gathered at the gate of the yamen, it's too dazzling!" Xi Hongdou looked at the gold and silver and pierced her eyes, she can be regarded as having seen money, but the Guo family does give a lot, what does this make ordinary people think?

Xiao Zhi directly asked Zhao Huan to send people away, and Zhao Huan asked, "What kind of dispatch do you want?" ”

"Take Zhou Kuan with you, whoever tries to bribe again will be thrown into prison directly!" Xiao Zhi is not a good temper either.

Zhao Huan smiled and nodded, and then went to the door.

Xi Hongdou said: "Then the Guo family is estimated to be about to come forward on their own." ”

"Continue to boil, I hope that Lin Da and them will go well, even if they can bring back a witness, this Guo Xiaochun will die."

On the other hand, Guo Linjiang also scoffed at the behavior of the yamen, didn't the previous county commanders look like dogs when they first came, and later they all joined the same stream?

"Master, that Xiaochun has been in there for a few days, and I have to find another way!" Although Guo Xiaochun is the son of the eldest lord of the Guo family, but the eldest husband and wife died early, she only gave birth to two daughters, and there are many concubines in the family, but she can't give birth to a son, and then Guo Xiaochun is raised under her knees, which is essentially an adopted son, and their mother and daughter are counting on Guo Xiaochun in the future, otherwise those concubines can kick their noses and turn their faces upside down.

Guo Linjiang said: "Don't worry, this matter can't be forced!" It seems that the previous method didn't work, and the new county master may have come to "sell his reputation and reputation" after coming to Lihong County, and then as long as he bribed secretly, he couldn't buy it if he didn't believe it. He also asked people to inquire about what kind of backer this new county master is, if it is really as rumored that the family background is strong, then he has to continue to maneuver, but if he has no background, he doesn't mind making another tragedy, just like the previous county magistrate, he will die in a hundred things!

Lin Da's side was also not going well, but according to the address, he found that the person had already moved.

"Let's inquire again." Lin Da said, if this errand is not done well, Xiao Zhi will definitely not be able to convict Guo Xiaochun.

Lin Er asked: "Big brother, how do you find this, the neighbors have asked, I don't know where the people have gone." ”

"Don't you say that there is a relative, and then look for it!" Lin Da said, but I am afraid that this time will be delayed, and I don't know if it can be completed within a month.

Xi Hongdou thought about what business to do in Lihong County, and finally wanted to sell the local bracken, bracken is not easy to rot, with the method of salting, even in the summer can be stored for at least ten days, if it is dried in the sun, it is no problem to put it for a year, if it is sold to Kyoto City, it should also be fresh. However, this transportation has become a problem, and it is easy to be targeted by bandits and horse bandits when you go out of the city, and there is no trick if things cannot be transported.

Zhao Huan reminded at this time: "The main reason why the Guo family's business is doing is that he gives 'benefits' to the bandits outside the city every year, so that the bandits don't rob him, and they still protect his caravan." ”

"No, it's too late to fight the bandits, and I can't take the money to support those bandits anymore." Xi Hongdou said that the Guo family is essentially raising those bandits, making Lihong County's economy blocked, otherwise how can the Guo family be the emperor of the soil?

Yao San also said before that it is okay to give some money to buy roads when you meet bandits, but that is only an occasional situation, and the number of other bandits on guard is not much, sometimes Yao San can win with people, even if the money spent to buy roads is small. But the bandits around Lihong County are different, there are many people, and how much money has to be hollowed out. It is said that Lihong County is poor, all because of these bandits.

"If the Guo family is not eliminated, the bandits around Lihong County will not be exhausted!" Xiao Zhi said.

Xi Hongdou pondered that the Guo family would have to fight for a while, but he couldn't wait for the Guo family to fall before doing it, so he wrote a letter and sent it back to Kyoto City to see if Yao San had any good ideas.

Soon, Yao San also gave a reply, and Xi Hongdou didn't want to buy money for the bandits, so he could only rely on the dart bureau to protect the bodyguards, he also knew the dart bureau, and the manpower and carriages of the caravan would also be saved, but the cost of the dart bureau was not cheap.

Xi Hongdou saw that Yao San reported an approximate number, and felt that the price was really good, so he directly asked Yao San and Hu Ping to dispatch it, transport grain from Hexi Prefecture, and plan the route, and find a dart bureau nearby, as long as it protects the section in and out of Shuobei Prefecture, and when the time comes, it will be better to transport grain from south to north and bracken from north to south.

The shop in Lihong County is also easy to find, and the rent is much cheaper than Kyoto City, Xi Hongdou found a shop and set the paperwork and began to clean up the shop, and in a few days, there will be a red bean grain shop in Lihong County.

Rue Xiang helped sprinkle and sweep, and chatted with Xi Hongdou.

"Young grandma, how good it is to be a young grandmother at home, I have to do business and suffer, I wonder if the small treasury in the hands of the young grandmother has a lot of money, why are you still not steady?" Rue Xiang said, Xi Hongdou also said in the past that women should have things around their bodies, but now that Xi Hongdou is suspended immediately, the money earned is enough to spend, so why bother so tired?

Xi Hongdou smiled, money is enough to spend, but life is not measured only by money, Xiao Zhi is a good man, and I believe that her future marriage relationship will be very good, but she can't just do nothing at home every day, the lazier people are, the more depressed they are, she doesn't want to eat and wait for death in this life, and wants to do more interesting things.

"The time of a person's life is very short, and there is no time to eat, drink, sleep, and take care of his family, husband and children." Xi Hongdou's words Rue Xiang doesn't understand, isn't it enough to do these well? What else is there to waste time?

"Young grandma, I don't understand what you said again." Ruexiang's face was full of doubts.

Xi Hongdou smiled: "So much time has been spent, but there is no time for yourself." I ask you, what do you like to do in addition to your daily work? ”

Rue Xiang thought about it and said, "Look at the drawing book!" She doesn't know much of a word, and she can understand it when she stumbles over the picture.

Xi Hongdou said, "Can you watch it every day?"

"No, sometimes I have too much work, and I have to go to bed when I'm done, and I don't have time to watch." Rue replied.

Xi Hongdou said: "That's it, you work just to live, not to live, life is to do something according to your own ideas in addition to labor." ”

"Then the young grandmother can do whatever she likes, right?" Rue Xiang said, there is no need to do business!

Xi Hongdou smiled: "I just like to make money!" "It's almost to the point of being a money junkie!
