When Su Tongzhi was standing in the crowd and looking up at the bulletin board, Lao Liu Tou sneaked into the gate of the yamen and went to find Jiang Xin to report the news.

Old Liu Tou's eyes were poisonous, and he had already noticed that this lean and long, goatee man who spoke official words was quite unusual.

Su Tongzhi stood in the crowd and listened to the discussions of the people around him.

"It turns out that all the money from the county government has been used in these places."

"It turns out that the county government has to do so many things for us in a month."

"This homeless resettlement is really good, don't you see how peaceful the county is at night now? I was drunk at a friend's house that day, and I came home in the middle of the night and ran into the night watchman. ”

"Who else can there be, there are only a few county government heads, either two He heads, or Jiang headers and kings."

"Haha, that's right, but it's not right, I did meet Wang Zhutou, but he was also on night patrol with a five-person homeless team."

"What? Refugee? It's nice if they don't steal, and they can still patrol the night? ”

"Not only that, Wang Zhutou saw that I was drunk and wandering the street in the middle of the night, so he sent two homeless people to escort me home, and as a result, guess what I encountered?"

"What? You old Li head, you still sell off when you say something, say it quickly, say it quickly? ”

"Did some of the homeless people who sent you home rob you?"

"Bah, people will rob me if they send me home. On the way back, I met a five-person homeless team, and later chatted on the way to find out that it was Lord Bai who took pity on these homeless people for not making progress, and specially recruited a group of strong homeless people to follow the head-hunting patrol at night. Give them a little money every month. ”

"These homeless people are grateful to Lord Bai for helping them, all of them are loyal to their duties, and they are stronger than the officers and soldiers, I heard that this month, a lot of thieves have been caught. Now there is Lord Bai in Anning County, but it is really peaceful! After the old Li Tou finished speaking, he sighed and smiled.

"Later, I came home a few times late, not to mention the ruffians on the road now, not even a wild dog, very quiet, so quiet." The old Li smacked his lips and sighed.

"Lord Bai is really a bodhisattva,"

"Lord Bai's action not only saved people, but also got things done, it's really a good way to govern."

……

The surrounding people were all amazed by Bai Luo, and Su Tongzhi secretly complained in his heart, it seems that this Bai Luo is really extremely prestigious in Anning County, and it is really a problem to collect evidence of greedy ink.

Su Tongzhi was secretly worried, but a gloomy voice came from the corner on the side, "Phew, it's just a corrupt official, and he pretends to be a clean breeze with his sleeves, just for you fools." ”

"This sanctimonious rabbit lord looks like a disaster, he should be cut by a thousand knives, and he will never be able to turn over."

Su Tongzhi turned around when he heard this, and saw a person dressed as a scholar standing in the corner of the wall in the distance, dressed in a straight shirt, neatly dressed, with neatly tied hair, and a wooden staff in his hand.

It doesn't look like a sloppy beggar, but its face, which is quite thoughtful, is covered by a long scar from the right eye over the bridge of the nose to the left cheek, which is very ugly and conspicuous.

This long scar, estimated not to have been properly treated at the time, healed crookedly, like a thick and long centipede lying on its face.

He stood alone in the corner of the wall, his right eye, which was deformed by the scar, looked at the yamen viciously, and the whole person was gloomy.

There were people coming and going at the gate of the county government, but no one paid attention to him and walked straight in front of him.

Some big girls and little daughters-in-law saw this person from a distance, so they cautiously bypassed, as if they were afraid of provoking this person for half a point.

The man with the scar on his face didn't care, and he "spitted" at these women and scolded: "This kind of goods still dare to hide from the master, you dislike the master, the master is not rare to ignore you, a group of." ”

Su Tongzhi couldn't help frowning when he heard the man scolding vulgarly, but he thought of the document handed over to him by the prefect in his arms to remove Bai Luo, paused, and finally walked towards the ugly man.

"I don't know the name of this brother?" Su Tongzhi walked over and bowed to the man.

The man obviously didn't expect someone to talk to him, so he was stunned for a moment, and then he also bowed back and said, "Under Chen Li, I don't know your Excellency's name." ”

It turned out that this was the adulterer in Li Tiegen's case, Chen Li.

At the public trial on the same day, his face was scratched by Shen, and his leg was crippled because of the ninety boards that Bai Luo had punished.

Since then, he knows that his career is hopeless, and he has no intention of studying, and he wanders in Anning County in the morning.

But he committed adultery with a good wife, and he married Shen in court to exonerate himself, and all kinds of behaviors are despicable.

There are tens of thousands of people in the entire Anning County, but not one is willing to associate with him.

Even if he went to the tavern to have a meal, the people at the table next to him all changed tables far away from him, as long as he was in the restaurant, the business in the restaurant plummeted, and no one came in to eat and drink.

So much so that later the restaurant rushed to see him, and he didn't even want to earn his money.

When he went to the Qinglou, the woman in the Qinglou was unwilling to accept him, and sneered: "I heard that Chen Gongzi loves the innocent good housewife the most, and the concubine is humble, so she is never worthy of serving Chen Gongzi." ”

Chen Li was disheartened, paid an errand idler, brought food from the restaurant for himself every day, and was reluctant to go out.

That day, he was suffering in the courtyard, but he heard the idler talking to his neighbor on the street outside the door after delivering food.

"You yellow boy, you actually run errands for that Chen scholar, and you are not afraid of being poked and broken your backbone."

"There's no way, the price given by Shen Gongzi is high, and the family always has to eat. Regardless of whether he is a good person or a bad person, just settle the money for me. The idler replied.

"However, this Chen Gongzi is really lucky, if Bai Xianling hadn't found the real murderer, I'm afraid he would have to give that Li Tiegen his life." The neighbor's sister-in-law said.

"That's it, but because of the public trial, everyone in Anning County knows about this Chen Gongzi's case, and now this Chen Gongzi is really pitiful, to such a point, it is worse than the rats crossing the street and the bedbugs in the bedding." The idler sighed casually.

didn't know that this unintentional sentence was being listened to by Chen Li, who was standing in the courtyard.

Chen Li suddenly realized, he finally understood who had let himself fall into such a miserable situation, in addition to the slut Shen, there was also this Bai Luo who had to judge himself publicly and make his reputation bad.

That slut Shen has not been heard from since the last cane punishment, and he can't find her, but this Bai Luo is different, he is in this county, and he can find him at any time.

Chen Li's eyes emitted a vicious light, the scars on his face were distorted into an ugly ball, the contempt and trampling he had been subjected to during this time, as if he had found an outlet, and he remembered the anger and hatred in his heart on Bai Luo's body.
