However, it was said that Master Song came to the state city, arrived at the mansion of the old lady Liu, handed over the post to ask for a meeting, and after waiting for a while, he was introduced into the mansion by the housekeeper.

Walking through the garden, bypassing the cloister, and entering the living room, I saw an old man sitting upright on the chair of the Taishi in the middle, wide and fat, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, like a Lafayette.

Although Master Song had never seen Mrs. Liu, just looking at this posture and bearing, he knew that this was the main master, and he politely stepped forward to salute at the moment.

"Song Changping, who was born in the late life, saw Mrs. Liu."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly waved her hand with a smile and said politely:

"Master Song, don't be polite."

"Master Song's name, old decay has been heard in the county for a long time."

"It's just that I'm old, I rarely see outsiders, and I don't have much contact, so please don't blame Master Song."

"Please be seated."

Master Song got up after the salute and sat down on the side, with a maid next to him to bring tea.

After the two old foxes were polite for a long time, seeing that Mrs. Liu didn't mean to take the initiative to ask, and was obviously pretending to be stupid, Master Song was even more convinced of his guess in his heart, and took the initiative to ask at the moment:

"The Liu family has always lived in Yishui County, why did the old lady suddenly move his family?"

Mrs. Liu's eyelids drooped, she stretched out her hand to stroke her beard, and said indifferently: "I'm old, my body and bones are not as good as before, there is a famous doctor in the state city, and if there is a headache and brain fever, it is convenient to treat it nearby." ”

"Really?" Master Song didn't smile, "I thought the old lady ran to the state city to take refuge?" ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but tremble in her heart, her hands trembled, and her beard was pulled off by two.

After the little guy in Qin's blacksmith shop fled back that day, he told the shopkeeper about the situation, and after listening to it, the shopkeeper Qin knew that he had been deceived, but for the sake of safety, he still made a special trip to Liu's mansion and confirmed it with Liu Xiaoguan.

Originally, Liu Xiaoguan learned the truth from Li Er's mouth, and ordered Li Er and others to arrest Li Ghost who pretended to be his name and deceived him, but Li Er and others never returned, and now when they saw the Qin shopkeeper coming to the door, Liu Xiaoguan was even more angry, so he made a fuss about taking someone to Li Ghost to settle accounts.

But who knew that he had only walked halfway to get the news that the magistrate had been killed, and Liu Xiaoguan was scared to pee on the spot, and returned home with the support of his family.

He didn't dare to hide such a major event from his father, so he hurriedly informed Mrs. Liu of the situation.

Old lady Liu was also frightened, he knew very well that the killing of civil officials was not a trivial matter, and those big turbans would not reason with the Liu family.

Whether the Liu family has anything to do with the death of the magistrate depends on the investigators' mouth, saying that you have you, and saying that you don't have you.

He was also resolute, and immediately asked people to call the shopkeeper Qin, threaten and lure, and let him manage the people in the family without many mouths.

The shopkeeper Qin is more afraid than him, after all, the Liu family is just being dragged down, and the knife used by Li Ghost is a genuine Qin family.

The two hit it off, and each gave a gag order at home, strictly prohibiting mentioning anything related to Ghost Li.

Mrs. Liu asked people to look for Li Er and the others again, and wanted to seal them, but only found the corpse, which saved a lot of trouble.

Even so, Mrs. Liu was worried about whether there were other people in the know, so she simply packed up her things and moved her family to live in the city.

As soon as Master Song came to the door today, he actually had precautions in his heart, but after all, he deliberately pretended not to know with a bit of luck, but now he was picked by Master Song in person, and he knew that it would not work if he didn't bleed much.

He let out a long sigh and made a sad face, "Alas, it seems that everything in Ding Zhixian has been clarified?" ”

Master Song was overjoyed when he heard this, and knew that he had found the right master, so he nodded pretending to be reserved, and said:

"Mrs. Liu is meticulous and has not left any flaws, but the county is discerning, and after all, she still peeled off the cocoon and found out the truth."

"But the old lady is relieved, and the contemptuous proprietor only wants to spend his term of office in peace, and has no intention of interfering in the affairs of the gentry."

Mrs. Liu nodded, relieved a lot, so she also expressed the goodwill of the Liu family accordingly.

"Please rest assured that in the future, the Liu family will take the county as the leader of the county."

"Whether it is collecting grain or military service, or anything else, the Liu family must do their best, and they will definitely make everything go smoothly for the county and be promoted when their term of office expires."

With this promise, Master Song's trip was complete, and he immediately stood up and thanked him.

"Thank you for your understanding. The contemptuous proprietor will also repay the favor, how the Liu family behaves in the county, we will all turn a blind eye, and will only help to settle the matter, and will not secretly pull back. ”

The two talked secretly, thinking that they knew each other, but as a result, the chicken and the duck talked about it, and they reached an agreement.

The matter has been completed, Master Song is in a hurry to rush back to the county to report the good news to the proprietor, and he is about to leave, Mrs. Liu politely said a few words, asked him to stay for dinner, and after being politely refused, he gave up.

When Master Song went out, he saw the carriage and horses that had been prepared long ago, as well as the rich gifts prepared in the carriage.

He knew very well that this was hush money from the Liu family, so he didn't shirk it, and got in the car and left.

After returning to Yishui County, he learned that Li Ghost had actually done such a big thing again, daring to attack and kill the officers and soldiers, hundreds of people died, and Liang Wanshen and his generals were wiped out, and there was no one left. The remaining soldiers who did not die did not know whether they ran away or were captured.

After seeing the "hush money" brought back by Master Song from Liu's mansion with his own eyes, Ding Zhixian's heart was finally put back in his stomach.

Fortunately, he and Mrs. Liu reached an agreement in time, otherwise I was afraid that sooner or later Ghost Li would break the county seat and cut off the heads of the two.

Now that the two families are together, I don't have to worry about these things.

But another trouble has arisen, that is, he, the county governor of Yishui, has to wipe his ass for Ghost Li and settle the mess in the military camp, otherwise the official army will make a comeback in a few days.

What is the death of two battalions of infantry?

The state can casually pull out another large army.

After Ding Zhixian and Master Song discussed for a long time, they finally decided that since Liang Wanshen's people were all dead, he didn't care about carrying a few more black pots, so he simply threw the responsibility to the dead Liang Wanshen.

So under Master Song's careful polishing, today's events have nothing to do with the Yushan thieves, but Liang Wanshen led the soldiers harshly, often whipped the soldiers, and always withheld the soldiers' rations. Under the accumulated grievances, chaos finally broke out.

Liang Wanshen and all the generals died in the chaos, and the soldiers who committed the murder were afraid of being held accountable by the imperial court, so they absconded in fear of crime after setting fire to the camp, not knowing where to run.

The weapons, equipment, food and other materials stolen by the Yushan thieves were all destroyed in the fire.

The reasons are sufficient and reasonable, and the logic is closed-loop and self-consistent.

Perfect!
