"What?"

"The richer you are, the more stingy you are, you have to register if you lose a chicken, and you are strict, I hope we will find this chicken back, saying that the chicken is their grandfather's most beloved, saying that this chicken is very magical, and it will chirp on time every day." The law is too light to punish such corrupt court officials, and Xiao Man even wondered if the reason why those officials dared to be so greedy for the court's silver, so that the deficit in the treasury had something to do with this law.

Zhou Duchan was almost choked, this rooster won't crow to tell the time, "Who knows if his chicken was eaten by a weasel, and he still thinks about your one to find it back, I think he really thinks too much." ”

While the two were talking, they suddenly remembered the messy footsteps outside, the two looked at each other, and said in their hearts that something bad had happened, and then the outside remembered Xiao Si's voice: "Adult, adult...... Oh no....... ”

Zhou Duchan and Guangwei got up at the same time and walked to the door.

"What happened?"

"Childe...... There was a commotion outside, and some people ran into the streets to rob them. ”

Guangwei immediately asked, "Where is it, who was robbed?" ”

"In Yong'an Fang, the person who was robbed was the housekeeper of Wang Fugui, the richest man in the local area."

Zhou Duchan couldn't help but shout hello in his heart.

Guangwei also showed a strange smile, glanced at Zhou Duchan, and asked with a smile, "Lord Zhou, what do you think should be done?" ”

"The yamen has no manpower, and there is no money to hire people, and besides, there are so many people who report cases in this town, so they always have to come one by one, so they will be recorded in the case first."

The housekeeper of Wang Fugui's family entered the yamen twice today to report the case, and he will turn back before he gets out of Yong'an Fang, and what makes him feel is the reaction of the county master in the yamen, and he asked to put the person who robbed him in the cell, but the county master said that the cell is in disrepair and the door is broken, and the inside has collapsed.

As soon as Steward Wang said that he did not agree to this treatment, the county magistrate stretched out his hand to him and asked for silver, saying that as long as the money was given to the Yamen to hire people, and the cells were repaired, according to the law, these people might be locked up for ten days and a half months, so the food for these people should also be provided by the Wang steward, and as long as the Wang steward agreed to these demands, those robbers could be locked up for as long as they wanted.

Steward Wang was speechless by the county master's words, he really had never seen such a county office, he had never seen such a county master, he had never heard of such a thing anywhere, he was robbed and went to the yamen to report the case, but the county master opened his mouth to ask for silver first, not only to repair the yamen's cell, but also to provide prison food ...... to criminals, but he couldn't refute it, even if he was a dead fool knew that this thing was a loss-making business, Steward Wang turned around and left, he could only admit that he was unlucky, so he didn't know how to explain to the master when he went back, Originally, it was light that the housekeepers had a meal together, and the silver went back to find the master to support from the treasury, and this time it was good to invite someone to eat and did not eat, and was robbed, and this came to the county government to ask for an explanation, and the result was also a commotion, which fortunately did not agree to the request of the county master, otherwise the lord would have to peel his own skin, and he should really count a hexagram when he went out today, and asked the good luck.

The king steward was sent away, but Zhou Duchan's heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the sea, and the common people had begun to rob openly, and now they were just a few people, and if it continued to develop like this, more and more people would follow suit, just like the plague, it would spread quickly among the people.

In the kitchen, Xiao Si and Xiao Qi looked at the rest of Zhou Duchan's meals, "The young master has eaten very little these days, so he drinks a bowl of thin soup that can see the human figure, the seventh brother and the young master are not a way to go on like this, I am really afraid that the young master will have something good." ”

"Hey, I'm also worried about the young master, the young master has never been hungry, it would be nice if Miss Xiaoman was here, the young master listened to Miss Xiaoman the most, and Xiaoman's cooking is so delicious......

Speaking of Xiaoman's cooking skills, since Xiaoman disclosed his true identity, many people are worried that they will never be able to eat Xiaoman's cooking again, but Xiaoman, who didn't expect it, still changed into his previous clothes and continued to wash vegetables and cook, just like nothing happened before.

Now all the people in this Flying Leopard camp regard Xiao Man as a baby, and when the two of them usually wash vegetables and cook, those big men spontaneously protect Xiao Man, for fear that someone will be unfavorable to Xiao Man.

Every day is protected by people like this, three layers inside and three layers outside, Xiao Man feels a little depressed, isn't this telling those thieves themselves

It's here, but it's not good to dismiss these kind and simple men in person, Ma Wei is really a warm-hearted person, he didn't wait for Xiaoman to find him, and he didn't know to tell those soldiers in private, anyway, they became normal the next day, no one was around Xiaoman, and Xiaoman carefully found that there were many more heavily armed soldiers around him.

The reason why Xiaoman put these mobilized grains in a town not far from the disaster area is because she is not at ease, before she understands the specific situation of the disaster area, Xiaoman feels that these grains must not appear in the disaster area casually, because it may cause a bad chain reaction, such as the disaster victims may be looted, which may cause a large area of casualties, as well as the officials in the disaster area, Xiaoman does not know their specific methods for disaster relief, If they rashly show up with food, it may affect their plans.

After the thieves appeared in Luoshui Town, the next day these thieves had a new move, and they left a note, stating that their trip was aimed at those rich households, especially those who refused to cooperate with the government, and were unwilling to sell or borrow grain, and they would often do similar things in the future to rob the rich and help the poor.

As soon as this news came out, those old men in the city were about to explode, and this time there was no need for the housekeeper to come forward, all the old men went to the yamen in person.

The county yamen of Los Angeles lined up again, there was no place to sit but stand, this station was a whole morning, where did those pampered old men suffer such a crime, only stood for less than a quarter of an hour, those old men complained bitterly, look at the front of the team did not move for a long time, those well-dressed old men stood very good at the beginning, the body stood straight but after a while they complained bitterly, and some people simply sat on the ground.

The people who came to report the case were the same people who came to report the day before yesterday, so they didn't re-record it, and simply recorded the losses directly on yesterday's case record.

The same of these old men clearly expressed their anger, and repeatedly stated that they wanted the county master to solve the case as soon as possible, and also moved out of the previous brilliant achievements of the county master, a group of snobbish villains praised this Guangwei is, this person should only be in the sky, no matter what others think, anyway, Xiao Si and Xiao Qi, who are watching from the sidelines, think so, listening to those people flattering Guangwei, Xiao Qi showed disdain, "The young master also said that there is a good show to watch here, and you can also learn skills, how do I think what the young master said is wrong, What's the show here, just a group of hypocritical people who are making sycophants. ”

Xiao Si looked at the old men in front of him with interest, "Where did the young master say something wrong, you look at how good some people's acting skills are, better than singing on stage, and talking nonsense with open eyes and thick skin, this is also a kind of ability." Xiao Qi's eyes widened, and he looked at Xiao Si in disbelief, no wonder the young master has been more and more fond of handing things over to Xiao Si recently, it turns out that his realm is not a little worse than that of the fourth brother.

Xiao Si patted Xiao Qi's head kindly, "Learn more, this is a great opportunity."

At the same time, the county magistrate agreed to come down with a mouthful, and the conditions at that time were the same as the last time, and now the county magistrate is left alone in the county office, and there is a lame old janitor, and the two have been hungry for several meals.

"Your family has been robbed for two days in a row, I am the parent official of Luoshui Town to thoroughly investigate the case, and it is my duty to arrest the thief, but now you have also seen it, this yamen is said to be a prison cell, you see that this gate has been dilapidated like this, I looked at the house that was robbed yesterday seems to be your home, that day I also said very clearly, now there is a shortage of people, silver, and things in the yamen, and it is no longer possible to maintain normal things, and everyone knows that we have suffered a flood, and countless people have died in this radius. I don't know how much the good land has been destroyed, and some of the people present will have rich families, I hope ....... ”

Guangwei's words were not finished, he was interrupted by a master on the field, this person is the uncle of the imperial court, usually in the town to show off his might, claiming to be a relative of the emperor, usually the nostrils look at people, "the majority of people, don't divert the topic, this is the same thing, besides, our silver and food are not blown by the wind, although we have a big industry, but the family is also big, the people to support are not one or two people, that is hundreds of people, if I promised the court to donate food, Then our family members have to drink the northwest wind, the palms and backs of our hands are full of meat, we have no choice, these are all living human lives, and we can't give in to those thieves, this will only fuel their arrogance, and the adults have done their best to catch the thieves. ”

Originally, some people knew that those thieves chose to start in their own house because they didn't take out the food, thinking that if they didn't donate some food, they would be considered to be ruined.

Guangwei knew that there must be nothing to be gained today, and the purpose they wanted was estimated to have been achieved, it was really cunning, it seemed that this person was also the core figure of the local family, and now he expressed his attitude in public, and said such a bright reason, then the other people were even more firm in their attitude.

However, Guangwei is not a vegetarian, and said with a smile: "You are also here this old man Liu, this thief is really bold, and the royal relatives like Master Liu dare to rob it, and he really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall." ”

"yes, I think it's a bunch of outlaws, they dare to do anything...... Zhou Duchan didn't know that he also came to the scene at the same time.

These people have all seen Zhou Duchan and know that Zhou Duchan was sent by the imperial court for disaster relief, so they are still very polite to Zhou Duchan.

They all bowed their hands to greet Zhou Duchan, "Lord Zhou is here...... ”

But of course, this is except for that old man Liu, after all, they are the uncle's own family, and the emperor's relatives don't need to please others.

So as soon as Zhou Duchan opened his mouth, this old man Liu said in a weird way, "Lord Zhou, is this scaring us?" ”

"Master Liu is really good at telling jokes, I deliberately scare you into doing something, and then I think I have an obligation to remind everyone."

After Zhou Duchan said this, some people began to hesitate again, in case it was really as Zhou Duchan said, angering those people, what if they killed someone.

Liu Ruyan had no intention of saying anything more to Zhou Duchan, because the secret letter sent by the capital said very clearly, as long as he did not agree to give food, it was best not to provoke this Zhou Duchan for other things, because he was not a good stubble, and he knew very well in his heart that if it wasn't for this Zhou Duchan who was really a difficult person to mess with, he would not tell himself like this in the secret letter.
