Chapter 175: Suigu County

Prefectures, counties, towns, and villages, the county officials, say that small is not small, but big is not big.

But Suigu County, a county town, is a little different from other officials.

Thirty years ago, the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty was far inferior to that of the Southern Song Dynasty and Western Chu, and it lacked troops and food, and was losing battles all day long.

According to the situation at that time, in less than two years, the Great Zhou Dynasty would definitely be disheartened and fall apart.

At this time, Li Ziyuan, a county magistrate of the Northern Song Dynasty, took the money and grain taxes of a county to the Emperor of the Great Zhou at that time, and it was precisely because of this that the Great Zhou eased up.

Although Li Ziyuan has never made any military exploits, his contribution to the Great Zhou Dynasty is not inferior to that of those feudal officials.

The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty once had a decree to reward Li Ziyuan with a gold medal to avoid death, 10,000 taels of gold, 100 horses of silk, and guarded Suigu County for generations, hereditary replacement.

Now, the first emperor has died, and although Li Ziyuan, who is nearly sixty years old, is still only a county prince, even the current emperor has to call Uncle Li when he sees him, which shows his status.

Today, Li Ziyuan came to the door in person, and Fan Heiyan naturally wanted to give this face.

After a while, a thin but energetic little old man walked up with his hands behind his back.

"Hahaha, General Fan is so angry! Your roar will be heard from afar."

Wiping his beard, Li Ziyuan said with a smile.

Fan Heiyan was suddenly embarrassed, and he didn't notice it, it turned out that his voice was so loud.

"Master Li, don't make fun of the old man, come on, serve wine."

Facing this Li Ziyuan, who is even older than himself, Fan Heiyan doesn't respect him, but he is just not annoyed.

The servants quickly put the food and wine on the table, and the two sat opposite each other at the table.

Fan Heiyan has a fiery temper and doesn't like to beat around the bush, so he asked directly: "Lord Li came this time, is there something important?" ”

It stands to reason that this little old man is in his sixties, and if he was fine, he would definitely not deign to come to this place in Wutong Town.

Li Ziyuan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "General Fan is quick to talk, and the little old man admires it."

In that case, then I won't go around in circles, I came here this time to ask for two people."

"Who do you want?"

"Wen, what's going on? Look at my memory, I clearly remember and forget, it's the person you just caught, and his wife, called? Shen Ni, that's right, that's the name."

Li Ziyuan nodded, making sure that it was these two people.

"Huh? How did Master Li know that I had captured these two people? What do you have to do with them? Fan Heiyan frowned, muttering in his heart.

It was only about an hour to bring people back from Fengqi Village, and the distance from Suigu County to Wutong Town was not short, and it would take two hours to get there by carriage.

Could it be that he didn't know the prophet, and he already knew the person named Wen Xiaolou?

In this way, it is even more proof that Wen Xiaolou has a problem.

Also, Li Ziyuan doesn't remember Wen Xiaolou's name, but he knows Shen Ni, right? That Shen girl is not an ordinary folk girl, what ulterior motives are behind it?

Things have become complicated and bizarre, and with his IQ alone, it is obvious that he can't figure out the key to it.

Seeing that he was puzzled, Li Ziyuan laughed again, "General Fan, you think too much, in fact, this matter is very simple, it is not that complicated at all, the little old man is just entrusted by others."

"And the trust?" Fan Heiyan asked rhetorically.

"You two, why don't you come in and meet General Fan?" Li Ziyuan didn't explain, but shouted outside the yamen.

While talking, a man and a woman walked in from outside, the man was handsome, and the woman was also smart, and she was a lady with a small jasper.

"General Fan, these two are the nephews and nieces of the old man, you two, don't you want to see General Fan?"
