Five days later, both sides of the official road were crowded with ordinary people who came to see them off.

Knowing that Song Zhili, the county magistrate, was about to leave Yanping and go to Qizhou to take office, the people all spontaneously dragged their families with their families, holding gifts in their hands, and came to send each other, and the queue was even miles away.

Many people took out the only good things they had at home and planned to give them to Song County, but where would Song County order be collected.

Because Xu Zhen did not agree to go along, in the end, Song Zhili had no choice but to take away the head catcher Cheng Xiao and several personal officials.

"Lord Qingtian! We can't bear you......"

"Yes, you have made us live a good life, and we will never forget your great kindness......"

"If all my Daxuan officials are like Lord Song, the country will be rich and the people will be strong, and they will live and work in peace and contentment, so why should the country not be afraid of prosperity......"

When Song Zhili walked through the crowd, the people knelt down one after another, calling out to Lord Qingtian, and many ordinary people cried loudly, reluctant to be such a good official who was not afraid of the powerful and was fair and honest.

At this moment, Song Zhili had never felt such a grand treatment, and the corners of his eyes were moist immediately.

In the excitement, he quietly took out a piece of paper, and what was written on the paper was the line of words that Xu Zhen had left for him:

"Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat."

Seeing these eight words, he felt that he was sublimated again, and he realized more deeply what is the foundation of his official career.

So, when he finally walked to the end of the line and was about to get into the car, he couldn't help but glance at Xu Zhen meaningfully!

Xu Zhen also seemed to be able to feel his deep meaning, and immediately bowed down and hugged his fists, respectfully saluting and saying goodbye.

People often say that they look at each other and smile at each other, but the two don't laugh, but the enmity still disappears.

……

After Song Zhili left Yanping, Chen Houlu, the old county magistrate, took office and served as the county magistrate, and also served as the county magistrate.

The first thing Chen Houlu did when he took office was to announce in public that Xu Zhen would succeed Cheng Xiao as the head catcher, and the county government head would be surnamed Xu from now on.

Chen Houlu is not stupid, of course he knows that Song Zhili was played around before, all thanks to Xu Zhen.

But it is precisely because of this that Song Zhili can have today's creation.

Therefore, Xu Zhen himself cannot afford to offend.

Moreover, there are still many important things to make decisions in the future, and he also needs Xu Zhen's help.

Let Xu Zhen be the head of the county government, which is undoubtedly the most suitable.

And the second thing Chen Houlu did after taking office was to deal with the aftermath of Cui Xiaotian.

This time, unlike Qiu Batian, due to a fire in Wansheng Gambling House, which burned countless IOUs, it was impossible to compensate the victims.

What's more, the situation was chaotic at that time, although the yamen later blocked the scene and also raided Cui Xiaotian's house, but there were still large amounts of property that were damaged or lost, so the yamen did not get much from raiding the house.

It is said that Cui Xiaotian's really valuable property is in Daguan City, but Chen Houlu obviously doesn't want to wade into that troubled water anymore, so he can only leave those benefits to Han Wentao's gang.

In fact, the common people suffer deeply, mainly from those IOUs, as soon as the IOUs are burned, they will no longer worry about huge gambling debts, which is already a kind of compensation.

Of course, Chen Houlu was a sleek accident, and after listening to Xu Zhen's opinion, he immediately took out a part of the income from the raid and rewarded it to the officials and catchers of the yamen, so as to win people's hearts.

The officials and catchers were rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and the least of them also received more than 100 taels of silver, so they were naturally overjoyed and happy.

If they encounter the same thing in the future, they will inevitably work harder.

Man is a very strange animal, Chen Houlu is already old, shouting every day to retire, but now after being promoted to the county order, he is proud of the spring breeze and has a new look, and he doesn't even drink wolfberry tea.

The next day, he was busy moving his aunt's family into the yamen and living in Song Zhili's house, so that his aunt would officially become the county lady.

As for his beautiful wives and concubines, in order to avoid falling into the mouth, they still live in the same place for the time being.

Chen Houlu runs back and forth every day, and he never gets tired of it.

However, although Song Zhili is gone, the yamen has been very busy.

First, Tong County's family members came to identify the body.

When Chen Houlu explained the cause and effect, the family members naturally refused to give up, insisted on the county government to give an explanation, and threatened to go to the Songzhou government to complain, etc., which was very troublesome.

Chen Houlu originally wanted to break the fortune and avoid disasters, but Xu Zhen solved the matter with only one trick, that is, he summoned most of the family members of the ghost face killer case and let the victim's family confront Tong County's family face to face.

As a result, the victim's family almost ate Tong County's family members raw, which frightened Tong County's family to escape.

However, although Tong Xianling deserved it, his body was indeed quite guilty, and it was later dug up from the broken temple soil......

As soon as the matter was settled, the poisoning case in Yaochang Village was finally reported to the county government.

Bao Zheng took the criminal Meng Zhicai and a group of witnesses to the county office to report the case, and the seven corpses were also with them!

Because there was no communication before, Chen Houlu did not know that this case was also related to Xu Zhen.

A family of seven was poisoned, which was undoubtedly a major case, so Chen Houlu hurriedly called Xu Zhen to deal with it.

After seeing Xu Zhen, the people who accompanied him, including Meng Zhicai himself, were all surprised, they couldn't have imagined that Xu Zhen was actually a yamen catcher.

Of course, the most surprising thing was Meng Zhichao and his wife, because Xu Zhen told them before that they would come to the county government to find a person named Xu Zhen to help, but they didn't expect that Xu Zhen was talking about him.

Therefore, after handling the case and taking the criminal Meng Zhicai into custody, Xu Zhen called Meng Zhichao and his wife to the arrest room and had a detailed discussion with them.

Xu Zhen said that next, he will study and investigate the mass poisoning incident in Yaochang Village three years ago.

It's just that this case must be kept absolutely confidential, and Meng Zhichao and his wife need to keep quiet, and secondly, to secretly collect intelligence for Xu Zhen and prepare for future investigations.

The husband and wife naturally couldn't ask for it, they had already ruined their future by the collective poisoning case, and they were tormented to death, and now that they finally waited for the opportunity, they would naturally do their best.

After sending the couple away, Xu Zhen couldn't help but think of a person and an animal.

people, naturally, are Miss Li Chan'er of Tianxiong Dart Bureau;

I haven't seen you for a few days, and I don't know how Miss Li is now?

The animal was the white fox they had seen together in the woods!

To be honest, when Song Zhili revealed Cui Xiaotian's secret, Xu Zhen once thought that disaster was coming, and there was no escape.

Therefore, at that time, he also had a little suspicion, thinking that the white fox was indeed a little ominous.

Fortunately, the peak turned around in the back and escaped by himself.

Now it seems that he still prefers to believe the proverb he said to Qi Yunzheng:

But do good deeds, don't ask about the future!

So, Xu Zhen secretly made up his mind that once he finished dealing with the business at hand, he would find a reason to go to Yaochang Village to investigate......
