Watching Lu Yibo trot all the way out of the second hall, Fang Yunchen wandered around the front and back yards to see if there were any old objects that could bring him new surprises.

It is a pity that most of the objects in the halls and wings before and after have just been purchased for a few years, so naturally there is no value for restoration.

Just as he was about to go to another side room for a walk, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yibo was even sharper than Fang Yunchen imagined, and after a pillar of incense, he turned around and returned, leading the three figures back to the study to resume his life.

"My lord, the man has been brought."

Fang Yunchen glanced up and found that the three people standing behind Lu Yibo were all dressed in black soap clothes, all of whom were the servants of the third class.

The three shifts, namely the soap class, the fast class, and the strong class, are equivalent to the most basic level of law enforcement and case-handling personnel, who are not only responsible for standing guard, carrying out executions, arresting human traffickers, investigating and collecting evidence, but also releasing prisoners, guarding prisons, and maintaining law and order.

The salary is very average.

What's more, these three people are all officials, not county officials.

In other words, they are all contract workers, temporary workers, etc., and they can be thrown at any time.

However, this result did not surprise Fang Yunchen.

The four wealthy families have controlled Ancheng for many years, and the officials of the entire county government have long been infiltrated by the four wealthy families.

"My lord, the three of them are Yang Laoqi of the soap class, Zhao Wu and Gao Dahai, they have a clean background and a good martial arts, please make it clear."

Hearing Lu Yibo say this, Yang Laoqi and the three people standing behind him couldn't help but feel a little worried in their hearts, and they didn't know what was the matter of being called to meet the county master.

"All three of you have mined in Cold Valley, right?"

Unexpectedly, Fang Yunchen's opening remarks turned out to be this sentence, and even Lu Yibo was a little surprised.

Today's Fang Yunchen has a keen eye, the finger joints of the three of them are swollen, and the forearms are extremely thick, but the back is unconsciously slightly bent, as if he is working in a half-squat all year round.

After just a few glances, Fang Yunchen realized that these three people were all former miners.

I'm afraid I can't do it anymore, so I tried my best to go to the county government as an errand officer, and I don't have to work hard in the mine anymore.

Of course, the so-called method is not to know how to stuff silver into a certain official, and the amount will definitely not be small.

Sensing the slightly flustered and cramped eyes of the three of them, Fang Yunchen struck while the iron was hot, stood up and sighed leisurely: "How did you enter the yamen, this matter will not be investigated by the official...... Now that there is a shortage of manpower in the yamen, it is always good to have a few more people. ”

Hearing Fang Yunchen say this, the three people present immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But he didn't expect Fang Yunchen's words to change, and his tone became a little more stern: "This official just wants to ask you, although you are temporarily out of the sea of suffering, your family should also leave that cannibalistic place together, but after a few years, when you are old and weak, and they have the idea of your children and grandchildren, what should you do?"

Who can guarantee that in a few decades they will not be like you used to be in a dimly glazed cave digging ore with your hands?

Will they be able to redeem themselves with so much money next time? ”

When the three of them heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then fell into silence.

Even Lu Yibo was a little embarrassed, he naturally knew a thing or two about Yang Laoqi, it was all about hollowing out the family, and he owed a lot of foreign debts, begging his grandfather to tell his grandmother that he would have the opportunity to come to the county government to make a living.

If there were no accidents, the three of them would eventually become a few dogs raised by the four wealthy families, throwing a few bones and wagging their tails happily.

Therefore, in Lu Yibo's view, whether it is digging stones in the mine or working as an errand in the county office, there is not much difference in essence.

Just as everyone was pondering, they only heard Fang Yunchen's tone change suddenly, and said categorically: "Whether you want to or not, I absolutely don't want my children and grandchildren to suffer from this bird like me, let alone live in such a chaotic world today!"

What are troubled times? Last night, there were gangsters who attacked the county government at night, which was so bold and crazy!

If it weren't for some of the official's means, he would have become a dry bone by now! ”

Hearing this, Yang Laoqi and the three of them were first startled, and then their hearts darkened.

They knew a little bit about the origin of the matter, but they didn't expect that the four families didn't take the imperial court and the county government in their eyes at all, and they would act if they didn't agree with each other.

The dignified county makes it difficult for the lord to protect himself, where should ordinary people go to seek justice?

These words not only changed the mentality of Yang Laoqi and the three people, but even Lu Yibo on the side was touched.

Speaking of this, Fang Yunchen's tone was softened, and he sighed and said: "This official does things for people, and he has never liked to say any big truths, he just wants to be worthy of his conscience in everything.

Naturally, the officials above the court have no ability to change, but in Ancheng, which is an acre and three points of land, I want to fight with this troubled world!

Now, most of the people of Anseong are suffering in the mines, and it is naturally impossible for me, as a parent official appointed by the imperial court, to sit idly by!

It's just that two fists are hard to beat four hands, and this official naturally hopes that someone can stand on my side.

The reason why I called you here today is because Master Lu said that the three of you can be trusted, unlike those lackeys outside......

And the official doesn't force you to do anything, but I just hope that when I seek justice for the people of Anseong, you can be a witness from the side.

If I die in the end, someone can collect the whole body for me......

If any of the three of you don't want to, that's fine, but now when you go out of the room, you will act as if you have not said anything.

No matter what happens in the future, it has nothing to do with the three of you. ”

After this ideological work was done, the three people present immediately showed a look of struggle, but Lu Yibo burst into tears in his heart.

The county magistrate inevitably trusts him too much, why only mention Yang Laoqi and the three people, but don't give him a chance?

If Fang Yunchen spoke, Lu Yibo promised to disappear from the spot immediately, after all, he was unwilling to get involved in this battle between the county government and the Hao clan from the bottom of his heart.

There was no way, he was really afraid of death, and he was not optimistic about Fang Yunchen at all.

There are more county masters with a deep background than him in front of him, but the ending is all death.

The worst one was cut into seven or eight pieces, and the corpse was thrown into the mountains and forests to become a small snack for the fierce beast, and even the whole corpse was not left.

Even if Fang Yunchen had some ability, it was useless, as a native of Ancheng, Lu Yibo naturally knew how many unsavory and ruthless methods there were in the four wealthy families who had controlled this place for many years.

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Laoqi, who was in a clear shape, was the first to make up his mind, knelt down in front of the table with his hands in fists, and said in a firm tone: "I am willing to follow the lord before and after the saddle." ”

The other two looked at each other, and they also knelt down and saluted: "I am willing to be humble!" ”

As Fang Yunchen said, it is nothing to suffer a little by yourself, but in order for future generations not to suffer the same hardships again, it is worth gambling with Fang Yunchen.

And Lu Yibo, who was standing on the side, sighed lightly in his heart.

"From now on, there will be three more fools in this world."
