Niu Fugui stretched out his head to look in the direction of the backyard, because of the shelter of the house, he couldn't see the situation in the backyard clearly, and only vaguely saw some light in the backyard, so he looked back at the village again.

Niu Laifu was actually tired from running all the way, but he still cheered up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the backyard and have a look." ”

"Hey, hey." Niu Fugui nodded again and again, that's exactly what he meant, but the three officials all spoke so as not to disturb people, and he didn't dare to step forward himself, so he was much more bold to have the village to accompany him.

When the three of them arrived in the backyard, they saw that the three catchers were still investigating carefully, and Muramasa hurriedly smiled: "Song catchers, the two catchers are really hard." ”

People are busy working for the people in their own village until now, he always has to be polite first, even if he is in a hurry, he can't directly ask people how they are doing, which will make it seem that they only care about their own affairs, regardless of the impact of other officials.

"Yes, a few officials, you see, it's so late, why don't we go to the front yard to eat something first, there is anything unclear about this case, let's investigate it tomorrow." Niu Dazhu also opened his mouth with a smile.

His father is not as good as him when he sees these officials, but they also reported the case, so that these officials are still affected at night, no matter what the case is, their family has to express their gratitude first, so that people can work hard to help their family.

Lu Xiaolan should have left food for them in the kitchen, they were running around for a day, the people in the family should always think of leaving them to eat, and on the way back, they also thought of buying a few bottles of old wine and bringing them back, and it was just right to entertain these officials, even if the village was accompanying them so far, they only bought two baked cakes in the county to eat, and now they should be hungry, and they can talk about things while eating, so they can talk well.

"The duty is not hard." Song Zhutou was polite, and he didn't refuse to eat.

He happened to be hungry too, and seeing that he couldn't find any clues in the backyard for the time being, it was better to fill his stomach first, and besides, even if he didn't eat, the two of his subordinates would have to eat, these two people were still young men, and it was easy to get hungry.

At this time, the officials are no better than Li Yao in their previous life, there is no rule that they can't take a stitch from the masses, they often receive some snacks from the neighborhood when they go to patrol the street on weekdays, they usually don't have to pay for food, they can have a full stomach when they walk around the street, after all, whether they are open to do business or live at home, the security problem on weekdays depends on them to ensure it.

If this is a business trip to handle a case, the average official with a clean character will not collect money from poor people, but it is very normal to have a meal at someone's house.

Besides, there is no reimbursement system for these officials to go out, if they want to go to the county or town, as long as they bring the documents stamped by the county magistrate, and there can also be a post station dedicated to entertaining officials, and the post station will provide accommodation, food and horses for the officials who give tolerance, and they don't have to pay for food, housing and transportation.

But where did this place in the countryside come from, so there was an unwritten rule among the officials, if they happened to go to the countryside to work, they either went to the village or Lizheng to eat and live, or to do things for whom they ate and ate.

This village is and Li Zheng do things for the villagers on weekdays, and they don't get any benefits, which is all due to the fact that they can often run the official office on behalf of the villagers, so if they go to the countryside to do things, it should be entertained by the village and Li Zheng, and it is better to understand who is doing things for whom to eat, they also feel that this is a normal thing, and this Niu Fugui's family does not look poor, although this time they lost thousands of catties of grain, but this family has twenty acres of land, and they can have a lot of income tomorrow after a busy year.

In fact, Zhao Xiuxiang had already come to ask them if they wanted to eat before, but the three of them were worried about the case and wanted to understand the case first, but they forgot the time when they were busy, and they hadn't eaten anything so late.

After Niu Dazhu's reminder, the three officials all felt that their stomachs were going to be hungry.

So the few people returned to the front yard, and Lu Xiaolan hurriedly brought the food that was still hot in the pot to the table and set it up.

Because he knew that he wanted to entertain the officials, in the afternoon, Niu Guihua specially asked Lu Xiaolan to kill a chicken, and also bought two catties of pork, Niu Guihua and others only ate a little pork, stained with a little meat, and the rest of the whole stewed chicken and two pork stews, for these officials, Niu Fugui father and son and Cun Zheng to keep.
