After about an hour and a half of walking, there were more and more farmers in the distance between the farmlands.

Some farmers couldn't help but look at this group of people when they saw that there were more and more people.

"Who are they?" Women came together to talk.

"People from big families, right? You see there are so many people with you. "Anyway, it's good for ordinary people to have enough to eat now, only big and wealthy businessmen have such pomp, which is bigger than the pomp of their county lord!

Zhao County's eyelids kept jumping this morning, so he asked the official to boil water and make a pot of tea, leaning on the back hall and squinting to rest. Xu took a lot of effort to judge those cases on the street last year, and he didn't sleep well last night, so he was so restless today. I can't tell if it was the tea that calmed the mind, and Zhao Xianling soon fell asleep.

"My lord! My lord! Someone from our county is here! Hurry up, sir. The official rushed to the back hall in front of the hall, and then slammed the door vigorously.

Zhao Xianling stood up in shock, quickly patted the official robe, put on the official hat, and pushed the door out: "But someone beats the drum and complains?" ”

The head of the official shook like a rattle: "No, my lord, it's the military masters!" ”

Military, master?

Zhao Xianling shuddered, only to feel a chill running up his spine. In this year, what is the military master doing in a small place like him? Never a good thing! Nowadays, there is a rebellion, and there are many displaced people, and it is not easy for him to keep the peace of this small place of this acre and three points of land, but he can't add anything else!

Zhao Xian Ling quickened his pace and almost ran: "But what is it for?" ”

The official also ran along, panting: "I didn't say it, but the little one looked at these military masters with some people, like the Lei family." ”

The Lei family? Zhao Xianling patted his head! It's been a terrible mess lately, and the Lei family has gone out to find something good!

When he ran to the front of the hall, he saw a man in a dark blue brocade robe standing with his back to him, and a guard behind him, both of whom had swords at their waists. And the two of them are extraordinary, not waiting for idle military masters.

Zhao Xianling hurriedly bowed: "I don't know which adult you are?" ”

"My family is General Dingyuan, General Bai." The guard said.

Bai Shiye turned around and looked at Zhao Xianling.

Zhao County Ling knew about this Dingyuan general! Although the official rank is not high, the Bai family was extremely prosperous at the beginning, how could he not know? hurriedly saluted again: "It turned out to be General Bai, the lower official has lost his welcome, General Bai is here for an important matter?" ”

"Is there a Lei family in the city?" Bai Shiye said.

Zhao Xianling nodded: "There is a Lei family, which is a merchant, and there is some money, and it has gradually gained a reputation in the city in recent years." ”

"It's a forced exile business, right?" Attendant said.

Zhao Xianling's heart jumped, and his face changed suddenly, sure enough, the Lei family didn't do anything good! These days, he patronized the passage of the displaced people into the city and inquired about the war, and spent more time in the city on all things, storing food, fighting blades, and repairing the city gates and walls, lest the war would affect one day. The Lei family is a merchant, and he only thinks that there are more businessmen who come and go, so he doesn't have the energy to pay attention to them at all.

"Bring people in!"

The attendant hurriedly went out and beckoned, and everyone in the Lei family was pushed in.

"When I was passing by, I happened to see these people forcibly kidnapping the displaced people, and after interrogation, I learned that this transaction had been done for nearly two months, and I sent them all over and disposed of by the county order."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Xian Ling nodded frequently, this kind of thing does not have the permission of the Lei family master, and the subordinates dare not do such a monstrous thing!

"Go! Escort me to the head of the Lei family! Bring more people, search the house clean, and see if there are still exiles detained? Bring it all along! ”

The official got the order, turned around and beckoned people out of the county office.
