Chapter 425: The Mountain Man's Clever Plan
According to the normal situation of the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, the county and the county are mutually restricted, mutually restrained, and competent.
The county can bypass the county and directly write to the court under the rule, and can directly participate in the mistakes of the county honor.
Although in terms of position, one is the first and the other is the second-in-command, it is by no means a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates. At least not to say that they are on an equal footing, they are also mutually restrictive.
But the relationship between the county order of Bazhong City and the county is not normal, and it should not be like this.
When the county lord first entered the county office, it was an obvious-for-tat confrontation with the county lord, but in just a few months, suddenly the situation changed. The county has become a puppet county that only the county respects the horse.
"Brother Lotte, look here!" Li Xuan'er said suddenly.
Chen Letian leaned over.
On the ninth day of the third month of the year, the county ordered the county government to go to Liujia Village in the southern suburbs.
On the tenth day of the first month of April, before the county order, the county government went to Liujia Village in the southern suburbs.
...
From the information, Chen Letian saw that in the next two years, the county magistrate would go to Liujia Village almost every other month.
But what to do in Liujia Village, the Cao Gang doesn't know.
And this third month of the year is the time of the feast. Before the banquet, Chen Letian did not find any relationship between the county and Liujia Village in the information.
"If something extraordinary happened that night, then this Liujia village is probably related to it. Judging from the timeline, our speculation should be correct, and now we have to find the information of Liujia Village. After reading it, Chen Letian said.
Li Xuan'er nodded and continued to check.
Once the thread of this clue is caught, even if it is a long and hidden thread, it can be pulled up.
As a result, the two of them had less and less useful information in their hands. The less, the more intuitive.
Eliminate the huge amount of information and the rest is the main point.
Ten hours have passed since they started to check, from early morning to early morning, and the line has almost been picked up by Chen Letian and Li Xuan'er.
All the clues point to one place, Liujia Village.
It is likely that the county lord has set a trap for the county lord, and then firmly controlled the county lord in his hands. It seems that there is a knife hanging above the head of the county lord at any time and anywhere, and that knife is very likely to be in Liujia Village.
Liujia Village in the southern suburbs is a very large village, Chen Letian casually inquired, everyone in the city knows that village, there are three or four hundred households and one or two thousand people in that village, it is a big village.
"Liujia Village. Chen Letian took out the map of Bazhong City that he had already let Fengshan get out of nowhere, spread it out on the table, and pointed to Liujia Village in the south.
Li Xuan'er was thoughtful, stared at the map for a while, and said, "Then shall we go to Liujia Village to check?"
Chen Letian shook his head mysteriously: "Mountain people have their own tricks. ”
After doing this, Chen Letian asked Li Xuan'er to go to sleep, Li Xuan'er said that she was not sleepy, but she was forced by Chen Letian, so she had to go to sleep obediently.
Chen Letian sat in the study for a while and drank a pot of tea, and after dawn, he called Feng Shan to give a few instructions, and Feng Shan took the order.
Feng Shan took a few people out of the house, and a group of four or five people first came to turn around several times, and finally came to an inn, where a few people dressed up in disguise, and when they went out, they had changed from the appearance of a guard to the appearance of a wealthy businessman. The first one was to close the mountain, and the others acted as the house slaves of the wealthy merchants.
The group came to Liujia Village.
"Child, what's your name?" said an eight- or nine-year-old child at the head of the village, squatting on the ground and playing with mud. He has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and people from all over the world have been in contact, and the Shandong dialect is not difficult, and he is very confident that no one can see through it.
The child looked up at them, probably a little frightened, and hesitated before saying, "My name is Gou Yu, who are you looking for?"
Feng Shan said: "We don't look for anyone, we want to dig something from your field." ”
The kid suddenly looked curious: "What are you digging for?"
Feng Shan thought to himself, if the children in the capital heard me say this, they would definitely immediately look at us with suspicion, and they would definitely run home to report this matter to their parents as soon as possible.
Because the children in the capital are well-informed, they have seen many more foreigners than they have seen in the capital. Children are like this, they are well-informed, and they are wary, unlike the children in this small town and village, who have almost no vigilance except for fear.
Feng Shan smiled: "Then I can't tell you, don't ask about these children." All you need to do is take us to your field and we'll give you two copper plates. ”
When the child heard that he was going to give two copper plates, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded again and again: "Okay, I'll take you there." ”
"Good boy. Feng Shan touched the child's head.
The group followed the child to his field, but there was no one on the field at this time, and the child told Fengshan that their father and mother had gone to the market to sell vegetables, and they would not be able to return until noon.
Feng Shan gave two copper plates to the child, and ordered the excavation. After a few people dug for about two sticks of incense, Feng Shan jumped over and took something out of the ground. The child couldn't help but come up, Feng Shan immediately put his hands behind his back, and said, "Don't look at the affairs of adults and children." ”
The child who called the dog leftover was really curious, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous with these uncles, so he had to give up. watched the uncle with a foreign accent go to someone else's house, and the dog guessed that they had gone somewhere else to dig.
Seeing that they were walking away, the dog hurriedly came to the hole that had just been dug to take a look, and found nothing special except for a small hole. The dog scratched his head suspiciously, and went home, but he was holding two copper plates in his hands, and he thought about it with some hesitation, he must have bought two strings of sugar gourds to eat, so he decided to go home after eating the sugar gourds and tell his father and mother about it.
When the child and the dog finished eating the sugar gourd, Feng Shan and his party had already dug up five fields. The other families are all adults at home, and Fengshan directly put on the posture of a wealthy businessman, saying that the soil in your village is good, and there are very good medicinal materials growing in it, so let's dig a little and give you a few dollars of silver.
The farmers were ignorant and couldn't understand Feng Shan's words, but there were always some people who felt that these rich and noble people who seemed to be absolutely not short of money would not give them money for nothing, so they didn't dare to agree.
Feng Shan took out the silver, stuffed it into their hands, and said: "You can't distinguish these medicinal materials, they have no effect on your field like soil, but we are specifically doing this, we understand, if you don't do it, I will leave now." So saying, he turned to leave.
The farmer shook the silver in his hand, and suddenly his head turned around, and he hurriedly said, "Dig and dig, dig and dig." ”
In this way, five were dug up in a row.
Then many villagers heard about it and took the initiative to come to find them.
