Li Xia didn't have to talk to his fifth brother Li Wenshan until the next morning.

"How's this trip?" Li Xia looked at the fifth brother carefully, this was Li Wenshan's third mission.

"It's not good." Li Wenshan smiled bitterly, "This big and small bow is really a disaster. When I came out of the Qin Palace, I went to Chen Jiang by the way, and told him about the depth of the scourge of this big and small bow, Chen Jiang said, these are all things that can be taken out, and the scourge is deeper and more terrible, and he is still in charge, there are a lot. ”

"Hmm." Li Xia replied casually, "Everything is done?" ”

"It's almost, it can't be considered a good job, it's just smoothed out, there is a case, there is no one in the bitter master's family, and he is dead." Li Wenshan paused and sighed lowly, "There is another case, the bitter master's family measured more than 400 acres of fertile land of the Zhang family into their own house in the fifth year of Zhiping, the old lady of the Zhang family was angry, and the old man of the Zhang family was beaten to death, and now this Zhang Ren, and his mother avoided his uncle's house together, and in the thirteenth year of Zhiping, the eldest son of the bitter master's family who was an official died of illness in office, seventeen years, Zhang Ren was admitted to the Jinshi, twenty-one years, in addition to the original Zhang family's more than 400 acres of land, there are also more than 600 acres of fertile land of the bitter master's family, all of which went to the Zhang family, this case is ......"

Zhang Wenshan spread his hands, Li Xia laughed, this is really ten years of Hedong to Hexi, and the retribution is not happy.

"As soon as I arrived in Nanchang, the Zhang family found me, and at that time the Zhang family didn't know that I had their case in my hands, and it was the Zhang family's wife who came in person, saying that their family had two lives, and her son Zhang Ren was either greedy for the 600 acres of land, or for the sake of exporting gas, and came with the land deed, so I closed the case."

Li Xia nodded, "Zhang Ren has such an aunt, which is his great blessing." ”

Li Wenshan nodded, if the wife of the Zhang family hadn't come to the door as soon as he arrived, return the 600 acres of land, and wait for him to find out, even if he had such a future, Zhang Shi would have to take it in.

"There is one more thing," Li Wenshan looked a little cautious and uncertain in his eyes, "This trip, I brought two people back, who were the daughter and son of Yang Chengzhi, the previous county magistrate of Jixian County. ”

Li Xia paused in the halfway teacup, looked at Li Wenshan with questions in surprise.

"Yang Chengzhi is a native of Taiyuan Mansion, a real son of a poor family, after being admitted to the Jinshi, he trained in the Criminal Department for a term, and ordered the county order of Ji County." Li Wenshan's voice was low, "At the end of the second year of his tenure, there was a case under his jurisdiction, there was a man named Wang Xi in the county, who went out to do business and brought back a daughter-in-law with a rich dowry. ”

Li Xia listened attentively, Li Wenshan paused, and then said: "Arrested Wang Xi and the daughter-in-law for interrogation, Wang Xi's injustice shook the sky, the daughter-in-law did not speak at first, and later, she also echoed Mi Fu, saying that Wang Xi abducted her, Yang Chengzhi was also careful, and called a matchmaker to carefully interrogate the daughter-in-law, and after asking, the daughter-in-law and Mi Fu were indeed married and married, Yang Chengzhi returned the daughter-in-law and the dowry to Mi Fu, and beat Wang Xi for thirty boards, who knows, Wang Xi returned home, and the next day he swallowed his breath. ”

Li Xia frowned, "There is something strange here, unless you go to ask for someone's life, otherwise thirty boards can't kill people, even if you die, you won't breathe the next day." ”

"Well, Wang Xi is not yet thirty years old, young and strong, Wang Xi's parents have long been gone, and there are no close relatives, neighbors helped, Zhang Luo funeral, just entered the ground, someone went to the government office, accused Yang Chengzhi of accepting bribes, killing people.

After the government checked, Mi Fu and the daughter-in-law were indeed from Qianzhou Mansion, and they were indeed married couples, but there were two husband and wife, a pair of scoundrels, abducted and deceived, and did all kinds of evil.

Mi Fu's daughter-in-law is quite beautiful, Mi Fu and his daughter-in-law conspired, said that his daughter-in-law was his own sister, married to a solid businessman Zhao An who went to Qianzhou to run business, originally planned to cheat a bride price, and second, Mi Fu's daughter-in-law stole some more to get some, and when Zhao An left Qianzhou, Mi Fu's daughter-in-law found a chance to leave.

Who knew that Mi Fu's daughter-in-law followed Zhao An for a few days, and felt that Zhao An was interesting, good to her, and a strong body, so she had the heart to live with Zhao An, and instigated Zhao An to turn around halfway and go to Nanchang Mansion to do business, who knew that when she first arrived in Nanchang Mansion, Zhao An was sick and gone, Mi Fu's daughter-in-law gathered Zhao An's money, happened to meet Wang Xi, married Wang Xi again, and returned to Ji County together. Mi Fu chased all the way to Ji County, the daughter-in-law disliked Wang Xi and would only work to death, and always disliked her for being lazy and lazy, thinking that it was better to follow Mi Fu, so she admitted that Wang Xi abducted her.

Mi Fu said that he gave silver to the people in the government and Yang Chengzhi, and begged Wang Xi to kill him on the spot. ”

Li Wenshan looked at Li Xia, his voice was almost inaudible, "Ah Xia, this Yang Chengzhi is the former father." ”

Li Xia slowly put down the cup, swallowed lowly, and motioned for Li Wenshan to continue.

"Human life is at stake, Yang Chengzhi was locked and taken into Beijing, just a few days after leaving Nanchang Mansion, he died of illness, Mrs. Yang Chengzhi got her husband's death letter, a rope hanged to death, leaving a daughter and a son, the eldest daughter Yang Da Niang, was only fifteen years old at the time, and the son was 9 years old at the time."

Li Xia frowned, why did he hang himself? She hanged, what will happen to her children?

"Yang Chengzhi is extremely incorruptible, and the Yang family is poor." Li Wenshan's throat choked, and he continued after a while: "Mrs. Yang took her younger brother and became a secret prostitute for the sake of food and clothing. ”

Li Xia sighed lowly, "The person behind it, have you checked?" ”

"Well, the government has a bookstore, and when he received Yang Chengzhi's favor, he quietly found me, saying that before Yang Chengzhi's accident, the water flooded in Jiangxi, and thousands of acres of fertile land were silted out after the water receded, because of these extra fertile fields, Mr. Hong, a confidant of the prefect Luo Yuanhang, went to Ji County three times, and once he happened to bump into Mr. Hong, saying that he was extremely angry when he looked at Mr. Hong's complexion."

Li Xia pursed her lips tightly.

Luo Yuanhang is the nephew of Mrs. Zhao Changhai's wife Luo's relatives, and at this time he has been transferred to Jingdong East Road, and he has been promoted to Tongzhi, the Luo family is also a merchant family, Luo Yuanhang's shrewd calculations, scheming, she was once amazed, but his shrewdness and calculation only have the interests of money, and there is no bottom line of humanity.

She reused him, put the city division into his hands, it was he and Tang Jiming, supported the battle of life and death between the north and the south at the same time, Tang Jiming threw himself into the river and died in the month, she copied the Luo family, killed Luo Yuanhang's family of sixteen, I heard that Luo Yuanhang killed the day of the head, Jiangyin, Mingzhou, Taizhou until Fuzhou, firecrackers were all over the sky, more lively than the New Year.

"Asha?" Seeing that Li Xia was stunned again, Li Wenshan shouted in a low voice with countless pains.

"I'm fine, you continue."

"There are no people in Jizhou who can be used, my identity is eye-catching, and I don't dare to check it again when I get to the Luo family." After a pause, Li Wenshan lowered his eyelids and said: "Bringing the Yang brothers and sisters back, this matter is extremely inappropriate, I didn't expect it at the time, it's just." ”

Li Wenshan looked at Li Xia, "Yang Chengzhi's family, and we used to ...... before"

Li Xia's eyelids drooped slightly, and he nodded.

"I can't bear it. Mr. Qin's meaning, bringing it back has the benefit of bringing it back, maybe it can be used, I haven't thought about this, I just think it...... I just can't bear it. ”

After a pause, Li Wenshan's voice lowered, "Ah Xia, along the way, I thought a lot, in the past, if there wasn't an uncle's mansion and a place to live, let's ......" Li Wenshan looked at Li Xia, "What will it be?" Can it be better than the Yang family siblings? You said that you hated Bofu very much in the past, I felt at that time that I should hate it very much, and I listened to it, and I hated it very much, but now I think about it, I shouldn't hate it. ”

In the end, there are three words that should not be hated, Li Wenshan's voice is almost inaudible.

Li Xia lowered his eyelids and was silent. Li Wenshan didn't speak anymore, both of them lowered their heads, and were silent for a long time, Li Wenshan looked up at Li Xia, "I think, I'll go to see the old lady in a while, if it's too late, go to Potai Temple in the afternoon, and ask the old lady to say goodbye, if it's too late, I'll go over tomorrow." ”

"If you want to be filial piety, don't go, the old lady has been paralyzed on the bed since she saw it, as long as she saw someone with legs, she had to be angry and scolded, the doctor said, you can't let him be angry, old lady, even the fourth brother and the seventh sister went over to say goodbye, she didn't see it, I heard that not only did she not see it, but she also had to give birth to half the weather, and said yes, now I feel nauseous when I hear the word Li."

Li Xia leaned at the fifth brother and smiled indescribably.

"Alas, this and this ......" Li Wenshan raised his forehead and raised his head, spreading his hands and not knowing what to say.

"You still let people see if there are any new excerpts in Nancheng Wazi, if there is, please come back and sing it for a few days, the old lady likes this." As for the Potai Temple...... Li Xia paused, "You are the true filial piety when you stay away, the sixth brother is in the tanhua, you don't want to make her old man angry again." ”

"Alas!" Li Wenshan sighed and patted his forehead again and again, what is this called!

"Let's get down to business," Li Xia moved, and his fingers happily tapped twice on the table, "Let's talk about the sixth brother first, I want him to go to the examination for Jishi, and then enter the Hanlin Academy, and then enter the Hanlin Academy, don't do anything, that is, the Hanlin Academy will be a Hanlin Academy, and then talk about it for a few years, what do you see?" ”

Li Xia said, Li Wenshan nodded, arranging such a thing, he has always been the only one who obeys.

"The fourth brother is not going to take the exam again, he wants to be ennobled, did he tell you?" Li Xia continued, Li Wenshan nodded, Li Wensong greeted him yesterday, the first sentence asked him how everything was okay, the second sentence everyone can miss you, and the third sentence was that he was ready to enter the office and would not take the exam again.

"From the seventh grade, I have discussed with the prince, Enyin is the best, it is best to start from the local down-to-earth work, just find a small county to do the county order, and go to Jingdong East Road."

Li Xiayu smiled, the fourth brother Enyin entered the office, it is best to start from the local down-to-earth work, this is just one, there are two, she just thinks about it herself, and she doesn't plan to talk about it to anyone.

Jingdong East Road is where the Bai clan is located, Li Wensong's family is on Jingdong East Road, there is really a case, Bai Jingning can protect him, and the Li family can at least leave one.

Li Wenshan kept nodding, he thought the same way.

"And you, the messenger of Qincha, this trip, it is enough, you have been on the top in the past few years, there is a vacancy in the household department, the uncle of the Yan family has already mentioned you, if it is smooth," Li Xia lowered his eyelids, "After this term, I will let him out to be a place for a term, and then enter the household department when he comes back." ”

Li Wenshan held his breath slightly, and when he came back and entered the household department, he could look at the location of the household book, and the uncle of the Yan family was less than forty years old to make the household department book......

After Li Xia finished talking about business, he talked to the fifth brother for a while about the interesting things in the capital and the gossip of various families, and he was satisfied, so he stood up and walked out, Li Wenshan got up to see her off, took two steps, and patted his forehead, "I almost forgot, Axia, how to settle the brothers and sisters of the Yang family?" It's still with Mr. Qin. ”

Li Xia paused, thought for a while, and said, "Bring it to me first, how to settle it and then talk about it, don't bring it to us, where are the people now?" ”

"Temporarily placed in the inn, just arrived in the capital."

"Then let Qin Qing take them to Guo Sheng, and I'll let Fugui go to find Qin Qing, you don't have to worry about it." Li Xia waved his hand, and when Li Wenshan heard the sentence You don't have to worry about it, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and arched his hand with a smile. Li Xia smiled and waved at him, and went out briskly.

In the afternoon, Guo Sheng's messenger replied, handed the letter to Yongningbo's mansion, and the next day, Li Xia entered Guo Sheng's small courtyard half an hour early.

Guo Sheng welcomed Li Xia, Li Xia sat under the corridor, Guo Sheng took a pony and sat in front of Li Xia, leaned forward, and said respectfully: "There are six rudders along the rock, one of which is in Jiangyin, and it is very convenient to inquire about things." ”

"By the way, is there anyone from Hu Panshi in Jiangyin City?" Li Xia asked.

"Yes, but they are all not on the stage, Jiangyin City Bosi is the world of the Ding family of Uncle Feng Fuhai, the general of the Jiangyin Army." Guo Sheng hurriedly explained, Li Xia nodded, and motioned for Guo Sheng to continue.

"Feng Fuhai took a fancy to the cemetery of the Li family, seriously speaking, it is not the cemetery, it is the hill, together with one or two hundred acres of land around the hill, the mountain is not high, but it is dangerous, there is a clear spring in the middle of the mountain, the amount of water is not small, it is said that the clear spring is a feng shui eye, and the cemetery of the Li family is half a mountain away from the spring."

Guo Sheng first introduced the feng shui treasure land, and the corners of Li Xia's mouth pulled down, because of this hill, both families have destroyed the door, this is a feng shui treasure land? The root of the scourge is pretty much the same.

"Feng Fuhai's family came forward to buy the hill of the Li family and the sacrificial fields around the hill, but the silver given was not much, that is, half of the market price. The Li family refused, saying that it was not a matter of how much silver, that was the foundation of their Li family, and they said that they would not sell it if they gave as much silver as they wanted.

At the beginning of February, before leaving for Hangzhou to study, Li Ping, the third elder of the Li family, went to worship his ancestors to ask for blessings, and was beaten to death by a thousand commanders of the Jiangyin army. Said that it was Liping sacrificed out, and when he met the daughter-in-law of the thousand-commander, he saw that the daughter-in-law was beautiful, so he stepped forward to tease, not only to tease, but also to rape, the commander happened to rush over, and in a fit of anger, he killed Liping on the spot, and Feng Fuhai took the commander of the thousand to surrender.

Feng Fuhai's side, his hands and feet are very neat and thoughtful, a group of witnesses, a pile of physical evidence, at that time, Yin Huaide of the new mansion has not yet arrived, and the original mansion Yin is about to hang up his boots in two or three days, how can he take such a case with boundless disasters, and the case will be dragged down, and the case is in the hands of Ma Huaide, the commander of the thousand is very single, claiming that it is a life worth a life, and he can't be bullied, Feng Fuhai let it go, as a general of the Jiangyin Army, he is responsible for upholding justice for his subordinates.

In this case, Feng Fuhai did it neatly and impeccably, Ma Huaide had already issued a verdict, and the commander had only beaten ten boards, and Feng Fuhai wrote to Xuezheng again, saying that Liping had misbehaved, and Xuezheng had already sold Liping's fame.

There are three brothers in the Li family, Li'an, Lining, and Liping.

The Li family from the generation of Li'an's father, only really rich, Li'an's father has only one younger brother, dependent on his brother for a living, among the three brothers of the Li family, Li'an has followed his father to take care of business since he was a child, Lining has studied for a few years, there is no talent, the youngest Liping, has a good talent in reading, and he was admitted to Xiucai two years ago.

Feng Fuhai's first step is remarkable. ”

Guo Sheng sighed in admiration.

"Where's the Li family?"

"The two brothers of the Li family, Liping responded to the lawsuit in Jiangyin, and Li'an went to Hangzhou, probably looking for a way to seek justice." After a pause, Guo Shenggan laughed a few times, "I'll ask Panshi to find an old criminal name to take a look at this case, look at it now, this case, the Li family can't turn it over." Feng Fuhai has a bit of a brain. ”

"Let people stare at, keep an eye on it." Li Xia commanded, Guo Sheng bowed and agreed, Li Xia was silent for a moment, and then said: "The Yang sisters and brothers brought back by the fifth master, Qin Qing told you, right?" ”

"Yes." Guo Sheng nodded.

"In the year or two when Yang Chengzhi was convicted and died, is there any record about Ji County?"

"Nope." Guo Sheng replied very quickly, "I heard Lao Qin talk about Yang Chengzhi yesterday, this matter is too obvious, I am also the first to think of the big and small bows, I checked it carefully last night, no." ”

"There is no need to find Hu Panshi for this matter, he has half the result in investigating the matter, please ask General Lu for a favor, check Luo Yuanhang, and Luo Yuanhang is ingenious, it is not simple." Li Xia looked at Guo Sheng and reminded solemnly.

"Yes." Guo Sheng's expression was dazed, and he hurriedly bowed down to agree, to be praised by the girl like this, this Luo Yuanhang is also a great blessing.

Li Xia asked a few more words about this branch jinshi, seeing that the time was almost up, he raised his voice and called Duan Yan to come in, rearranged the tables and chairs under the corridor, brought a small red clay stove and tea set over, Duan Yan fanned the fire and boiled water to prepare to make tea, Fugui sent a few plates of dim sum in, Guo Sheng was in the courtyard gate, waiting for Qin Qing to send the Yang sisters and brothers over.
