"Who?"

Before Zeng Shigui could answer, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Brother Zeng! ”

Zeng Shigui bounced up, and at a glance saw the two people standing at the gate of the county government, his face suddenly turned red, and with a snort, he jumped directly from the second floor, and the green bricks under his feet were broken, and the wind almost blew the poor old catcher over......

On the second floor of the county government, Zeng Shigui raised his teacup: "Brother Lin, my younger brother is looking forward to your coming to Beichuan day and night, and you are finally here." ”

Lin Su smiled slightly: "What's the situation?" Let's talk about ......"

This was said for an afternoon......

Lin Su looked up at the sky: "I see, no wonder you are helpless!" ”

Zeng Shigui and Lin Jialiang essentially belong to the same type of people, that is, the kind of people who have a belly of sage books and a belly of rules.

People like them, in a good environment, will be a clear stream in the officialdom, but in a bad environment, they will be a mediocre official who can achieve nothing, because their hands and feet are all bound by invisible rules and regulations, and they can only turn in circles.

Sanping County that day, in fact, was similar to Beichuan County, Lin Su used the thieves of Fox Mountain to level the hometown of Ding Jiye of Zhizhou, and then reshuffled Sanping County.

Zeng Shigui's eyes lit up: "Brother Lin, what is your good plan?" ”

"There's still too little to work out at the moment...... By the way, has Li Zhiyuan arrived? ”

"It's been three days since I was back!"

"Alright, let's go to him......"

Zeng Shigui was slightly shocked: "Brother Lin, the black quagmire where he is almost the Haining River Beach that day, Brother Lin is going, and the brother is looking forward to it......"

When I think of a dirty and messy place, I naturally think of Haining River Beach, which may be a common problem that all people in Lin Su's circle of friends will make.

The two figures stepped away, and the old Li who was the head catcher who served as a guard at the gate looked at the sky, a little confused, the adult has been serving in Beichuan for two years, and it is the first time he has seen such a happy smile on the face of the adult, could it be that the person who came today is the person who the adult is waiting for? Who is he?

Beichuan County, the south is Yuping Mountain, the other side of Yuping Mountain, is the Dongting Lake of thousands of miles of smoke waves, Yuping Mountain is not a barren land, it itself is a flower and fruit mountain with thick soil and flesh, all year round, flowers and fruits are fragrant, even if it is the summer day when thousands of flowers are withering, there are late-ripening yellow peaches hanging on the branches on the mountain.

Its greatest treasure is not the melons and fruits on the tree, but the vineyard beneath the tree.

The vineyards all over the mountains have given Beichuan County the reputation of wine town.

It must be said that Zhao Xun is a good hand in officialdom, and he is very good at returning to his hometown, he is good friends with the court officials, he is His Majesty's celebrity, he told the court officials, anyway, officialdom also needs wine, the wine of the demon clan is not very good, or you have to use the good wine of the human race itself to conform to the holy way, Xiao Lao'er's hometown of Beichuan, rich in high-quality wine, it is better to purchase it from officialdom, on the one hand, there is wine available in the officialdom, on the other hand, 300,000 people in Beichuan have a livelihood because of this, kill two birds with one stone, why not?

Even His Majesty cannot object to this statement.

Beichuan wine has gradually become an officialdom reception wine, the brand is polished, and the wealth is rolling in.

Few people in the capital know that what Zhao Xun said is that it benefits 300,000 people in Beichuan is a bit watery, and what really benefits is his Zhao family and tens of thousands of people who are close to the Zhao family, accounting for the absolute proportion of the population.

Ordinary people were driven to the north.

Huaguo Mountain to the south and marshland to the north.

Zeng Shigui introduced to Lin Su before leaving, the swamp north of Beichuan is a level of land with the Haining River Beach in the past, but after arriving at the land boundary, Lin Su still felt that Zeng Shigui had left some affection, this place, to tell the truth, is really not as good as the former Haining River Beach.

As long as the Haining River Beach is not the flood season, the land is dry.

Here, the ground is a big mud pit, but where the ground is a little dry, all have built thatched houses, thatched houses outside the front house, all puddles, visible puddles are easy to do, as long as you are not blind, you can go around, the key is those small weeds, seemingly ground, the bottom may be a swamp, a careless, a foot on it, sigh, no one can see!

Zeng Shigui told Lin Su: Here, there may be a good case, the children are very well-behaved, and the children running around are almost all gone......

This cold humor Lin Su said that he couldn't laugh.

In front of it is a forest, which is the main settlement of 300,000 residents, the swamp area, the biggest threat comes from the feet, the place where the grass grows is not safe, but the place where the tree grows is more safe, the big trees can grow, there must be hard ground below, so they all live in this forest, the periphery of the forest, a limited number of land, they planted crops, and even the ridges are reluctant to stay. I was reluctant to even leave the road.

They walked between the crops to the settlement.

"How many people are here?" Lin Su asked.

"This settlement is the largest, from this mountain to Wutan, a total of 33,000 households, about 130,000 people."

"What do they do for a living?"

"There is no land here, it is obviously not possible to rely on crops, only crocodiles in the swamp, killing and catching can make money, but this is a very risky way to survive, the villagers' crocodile hunting team, thousands of people die in the crocodile mouth every year. Even if there is income, the market price is not high, and the income is meager. ”

Crocodiles get a lot of money?

This is incomprehensible in modern society, but it is normal here, no one thinks that crocodile belts are more high-end than cow belts, no one carries crocodile leather bags, there is no purse, crocodile meat is not more hungry than pork......

Zeng Shigui was dressed in official uniforms, which was extremely conspicuous, and he was surrounded by people as soon as he entered the village......

"The prefectural commander is here!"

"The grass people meet the prefectural commander!"

"My lord, the crocodile meat you hunted with your own hands a month ago, the old man was reluctant to sell it, and made it into dried fish, just waiting for the adults to come and taste it, my lord, you must eat this meal today......

Lin Su's eyes widened, Zeng Shigui was so popular here, and the reason for his popularity was that he took off his official uniform and followed the villagers to kill crocodiles......

Zeng Shigui spoke: "Is Lord Li Zhiyuan back?" ”

Zhiyuan? After he came back three days ago, he has been killing crocodiles, you must not have imagined that the crocodiles killed in these three days are a thousand, if they are sold, three thousand taels of silver, everyone said, a man with a literary heart is worth thousands of team members, and our village is fortunate to have a Li Zhiyuan......

Lin Su was speechless.

A court inspector plays a role in high-end crocodile hunting power?

Li Zhiyuan, as a supervisor, is always angry about not being able to change the appearance of his hometown, but the villagers are not disappointed, they are still proud of him, because as soon as he comes back, the record of killing crocodiles has soared, and the villagers can have a full meal.

On the outskirts of the village, on the edge of the swamp, Lin Su stared at the man who was running away with a big crocodile, and there was no way to connect him with Li Zhiyuan, who was the one-eyed Li Zhiyuan of the Supervision Department of the capital.

"Master Li, others are returning to their hometowns to visit relatives, but your return to your hometown is purely overtime......"

The crocodile on Li Zhiyuan's shoulder slid down, watching Lin Su's face change, the crocodile under his feet opened a huge mouth and bit Li Zhiyuan.

Several people behind him exclaimed in unison, Li Zhiyuan didn't even look at it, stepped on it with one foot, and accurately stepped on the crocodile's palate, the crocodile was pressed in the dirt, struggling desperately, but he couldn't get out.

"Coming?" Two words, meaning endlessly.

"It's coming!"

"Come and sit at home!"

"Good!"

Li Zhiyuan waved his hand behind him: "This is the end of today's crocodile hunt, brothers, go back!" ”

Li Zhiyuan's home is in the center of the scattered village, located on a hillside, Lin Su also saw his family, his father is an ordinary farmer, a broken hand, but this is just the appearance in front of him, twenty years ago, the Li family was still a famous family in Beichuan, his father also has a literary position, is a showman, and only after the family road fell into the middle of his career did he complete his gorgeous turn - from a scholar to a crocodile hunter in the black swamp, his arm was lost in the crocodile hunting.

His mother is already haggard, but she can still vaguely see the beautiful demeanor of everyone in the past.

His sister, who is a village girl at all, saw that Lin Su was a little distracted, and when she brought him tea, she almost knocked over the broken table, and was glared at by her father and hid......

His wife, as well as a pair of children, are all standard villagers, the only difference from the surrounding villagers, maybe only one point, their bearing is different from ordinary people, his son can still come over and greet Lin Su and Zeng Shigui with standard etiquette.

About Zeng Shigui, everyone knows it.

For Lin Su, Li Zhiyuan introduced to his father: This is Lord Lin Sulin, who made his debut and is currently in the Supervision Department, a member of the fourth grade.

So, the old man almost knocked over the table......

It can be seen that Li Zhiyuan's status in the hearts of the villagers is still very high, basically equivalent to Lin Su's status in Haining River Beach, how do the villagers reflect it? Deliver food!

They brought all kinds of food, there are fresh vegetables, dried crocodiles, and even wine, although this wine is extremely muddy and sour, but the villagers are absolutely reluctant to drink, Lin Su forced himself to swallow it, Li Zhiyuan was a little moved, like Lin Su, a person who is not tired of eating, can drink this kind of wine, it is really very face-saving......

After eating, chatting......

Lin Su raised his head: "Fellow villagers, Master Li and I are both from the Supervision Department of the capital, I might as well tell you directly, I am here to run the Zhao family, so if you have any grievances to avenge, what grievances you want to revenge, and what grievances you have, tell me......"

In this case, the floodgates were opened to release water, and the flood of the villagers could not be stopped at all......

Lord Lin, the old man and I were originally from Yuping Mountain, and my ancestors have lived there for generations, but the Zhao family was too domineering, and insisted that my grandson stole his peaches, and asked the old man to pay three taels of silver, and the old man couldn't afford to pay, so he was driven down the mountain by them......

Lord Lin, the old woman has seen the shamelessness of the Zhao family with her own eyes, they planted peaches everywhere, all planted at the door of my house, blocked the door, my old man was careless, broke a branch, they dared to ask for five taels of silver, poor my old man didn't turn around in one breath, just so angry, I came here with my three-month-old grandson, it's been ten years......

Lord Lin, you must be the master for us, the entire black swamp, half of the people have lived in Yuping Mountain for decades, and now all the families are ruined, they can do anything in order to drive people away, I saw them push my son off the cliff and fall to his death, but when I took it to the government to sue, they said that my son had lost his footing......

Lord Lin, everyone says that the Zhao family is a big official in the capital, and the officials protect each other, and no one can do this for our people......

From the afternoon to the sunset, Zeng Shigui held a pen in his hand and wrote a full twenty pages, every word and word, recording the blood and tears of the people, one by one, and appealing to the sins of the Zhao family......

The people finally dispersed, and the courtyard of the Li family was finally empty, but those people did not leave and were still outside the courtyard......

They seem to be waiting for a miracle, but they also know that it is almost impossible for it to happen.

In the fence yard, Li Zhiyuan's gaze slowly withdrew from afar: "Two adults, even if the villagers talk about three days and three nights, it is only the tip of the iceberg of the evil deeds committed by the Zhao family, however, the biggest problem is that the Zhao family is well versed in the way of doing evil, and is good at evading the punishment of the law, the evidence you can find is not lethal to him, and you will never find evidence of a real serious crime." ”

"Exactly!" Zeng Shigui said: "Maybe in the eyes of the villagers, I, the county commander, am afraid of the second-grade high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China, and everyone will not believe it, I would rather hold ironclad evidence and fight with Zhao Lao, even if I die, it is better than suffering in this quagmire......"

Lin Su's gaze slowly raised......

Both eyes converged on his face......

Lin Su spoke: "There is one thing I don't understand. ”

"What?"

"Who the hell does Yuping Mountain belong to?"

In order to drive people down Yuping Mountain, the Zhao family really opened their brains, and all kinds of methods of extortion and porcelain touching were taken out, which shows that Yuping Mountain is not the Zhao family, if they have a title deed in their hands, they only need a deed of land, everyone has to get out, why do they need these next means? These methods are quite brain-intensive just to design, why?

Therefore, Lin Su first concluded that Yuping Mountain was not from the Zhao family.

Secondly, this Yuping Mountain does not seem to belong to these villagers, because the villagers have listed thousands of clues, none of which involves the title deed, and if there is a title deed, they have already said it.

Li Zhiyuan replied: "Yuping Mountain, it used to be a barren mountain, according to the provisions of the Great Cang Law, anyone can occupy the barren mountain. ”

Zeng Shigui also agreed: "I have checked the county annals of this county, and Yuping Mountain was indeed a barren mountain before. ”

It is precisely because it is a barren mountain that there are these loopholes to exploit.

Lin Su frowned: "Beichuan County under Yuping Mountain has been established for eight hundred years, what reason is there for such a mountain to be barren to this day?" ”

Li Zhiyuan's brows also tightened reluctantly, yes!

Beichuan County is not a newly built county, the history of the county is 840 years, Yuping Mountain is outside the county seat, it is definitely not an inaccessible deep mountain and old forest, and the soil on the mountain is fat, how can it be barren? Even if it was indeed a barren mountain at the beginning of the establishment of the county, there were four nationwide "surveys" in the history of Dacang, what is surveying? It is to carry out large-scale re-approval, issue title deeds for the development of barren mountains, and recognize sovereignty, no matter what, there is no reason why Yuping Mountain will always be an ownerless barren mountain.
