Li Xintian returned to Shuiwen County two days later.

But as soon as he arrived at the city gate, one of the soldiers guarding the city gate, called the old oilman, hurriedly snorted and said, "The eldest young master is back?"

Li Xintian nodded and didn't say much.

The old oil head hurriedly greeted him at this time, secretly stuffed a letter to Li Xintian, and said in a low voice: "The eldest young master came back from proposing, but I am afraid that there are some things in the county that I don't know, Xu Zhutou asked the little one to wait here for the eldest young master, saying that the eldest young master came back and immediately handed over the letter to the eldest young master." ”

"What's going on in Hydro County?"

Li Xintian asked after taking the letter.

"This ......"

The old oil head hesitated for a moment, and said with an embarrassed face: "Maybe Xu Zhutou's letter is clearly written, and the little one will no longer talk nonsense here." ”

Li Xintian frowned, opened the letter and looked at it, and his face immediately changed.

"This Liu County Order, the deception is too much, it is really impossible for my Li family to make mud. The next moment, he suddenly burst out, looking extremely angry.

The letter was directly pinched by him, and it was shattered into confetti and spilled on the ground.

From birth to the present, Li Xintian has never been so angry as today.

Immediately, he strode in the direction of the Li Mansion.

"The eldest young master is really angry this time, and this time Shuiwen County is not calm. The old oilman underestimated.

"What's going on, how could this good young master of the Li family be so angry?" asked the recruit next to him.

The old oil head glanced at him strangely and said: "You kid really don't know or not, just yesterday, Liu County ordered the official to arrest Li Qizong, Master Li, this matter has been made in Shuiwen County, only the eldest young master went to propose two days ago and didn't know about it, I didn't expect you to know." ”

"No, it won't, the county lord did nothing to arrest Ronnie Lee, and he didn't commit any crimes. The recruit wondered.

The old oil head shook his head and said: "The official word is two mouths, who knows what these officials are thinking, maybe they are eyeing the monstrous wealth of the Li family...... Well, it's better to talk less about this matter, and the passing tigers and local dragons are fighting, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

Li Xintian returned to the mansion angrily.

But he saw that Steward Li in front of the mansion had received the news of his return, and was waiting for him in front of the door.

"Young Master, you are finally back, the old slave wanted to send someone to inform the young master yesterday, but it was raining heavily and the matter was urgent, so it was delayed for a night. ”

Steward Li greeted him and said with an anxious face: "It's a big deal in the house, ...... master."

Li Xintian waved his hand and said: "I know everything, my father was arrested and imprisoned by the Liu County Order, saying that my father had colluded with that Wang Shenpo and used Taoism to make money, and the loss of gold and silver from many wealthy families in the county was all done by our Li family...... In addition, he also framed my father for harming people with evil magic, what to collect yin and supplement yang, harm pregnant women to have abortions, prolong their own life, and so on. ”

"The eldest young master knows everything, so what should I do now?" Steward Li hurriedly asked.

"This is a trumped-up charge, this Liu County Order is not small, I am afraid that it is eyeing our Li family, maybe Liu County Order is the mastermind of targeting my Li family, I will visit this Liu County Order now, you wait for me to leave, there are still various industries in the county in the stable house, what chaos is elsewhere, when necessary, send out the people who dart the line. Li Xintian said in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes, yes, the old slave wrote it down. Steward Li nodded again and again.

Li Xintian told him to go to the county office, but then he glanced at him and saw a maid in the house carrying a package, as if she was about to slip away.

"Stop. Li Xintian immediately snorted.

The maidservant was immediately startled, and the frightened packages fell to the ground, but she saw gold and silver jewelry scattered all over the ground.

"Great, big young master. The maid's face turned pale at once.

Li Xintian said coldly: "My Li family is not finished yet, so I am in a hurry to collect money and flee?"

"Young Master, spare your life, the slave is just confused for a while. The servant girl immediately knelt on the ground with a pout, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Driven out of the Li Mansion and sent to the factory to work for 20 years. Li Xintian shouted.

"Yes, young master. Steward Li nodded, and then hurriedly ordered two guards to take the maidservant away.

Li Xintian said, "If you encounter this matter again, you will do it like this." ”

"The eldest young master spares his life, the slave knows that he is wrong, and asks the eldest young master not to drive the slave and maid out. The maidservant cried and begged for mercy.

"I didn't want your life, I just asked you to go to work in the factory, and the monthly money will be given to you, this is merciful enough, if it were my father, I would definitely kill you with a cane, you were bought by my Li family, not recruited. ”

Li Xintian said coldly.

Soon, the handmaid was taken away by the guards.

"The Li family hasn't fallen yet, the hearts of the people are scattered, it seems that it's time to rectify the Li Mansion, there are too many idle people in the house. ”

The matter of this servant girl made Li Xintian feel very bad.

No one wants to see such a white-eyed wolf in their house.

You must know that Li Xintian thinks that the people he treats in Fushan are very good, he has not practiced them, nor has he abused them, let alone killed that subordinate, but will give each subordinate a lot of monthly money every month, so that they can save it, and only find a good family after leaving the house in the future, they can marry a wife and have children, and pass on the ancestry, which can be regarded as a good thing of immeasurable merit when you think about it.

But today, there was only a little turmoil in the house, and some maidservants took away their belongings and prepared to flee.

If this is the real decay of the Li Mansion, I am afraid that there will be more than one such thing.

"Tian'er, you have to save your father from prison, otherwise what will you do with your mother. ”

Chen Shuxia saw Li Xintian coming back, and couldn't help but feel a lot calmer.

"Mother, don't worry, I won't let my father lose a hair. Mother, you have to rest more. ”

Li Xintian also knew that the people in the mansion would be panicked and uneasy, so he took the lead in returning to the mansion to stabilize people's hearts, and immediately set off for the county government after instructing some things.

To be honest, he rarely has any dealings with the government, after all, in the capital, he rarely has any affection with the people in the government.

However, the previous county lord was also a virtuous official, although he was a little lazy, but at least he took care of the hydrological county well, and the grievances and cases were handled in a timely manner, and the Li family and the previous county lord did not violate the river water, he was his official, and the Li family ran the Li family's business.

As for the taxes of the imperial court, the Li family did not lose a penny, and they were delivered on time every year.

But this Liu County Commander is a restless master.

As soon as he came to Hydrology County, he collected city gate fees, and then Li Xintian also heard that the tax revenue of Hydrology County had been increased, which had exceeded the law of the imperial court.

In this regard, the Li family did not fail to respond, in the first half of this year, Tian Fu, this Liu County ordered that not a single millet could be harvested.

The Li family has run Hydrological County for three generations, counting Li Xintian's generation, it is four generations, which of the fields in the nearby villages is not in the name of the Li family?

Like Xiahe Village, all the villagers in Xiahe Village cultivate the world and belong to the Li family, and they are just hired farmers by the Li family.

Without the Li family to speak, which official would dare to go down to the village to demand the payment of the field tax?

Perhaps it was the reason for this incident that made this Liu County Commander ruthless, directly slandering Li Xintian's father Ronnie Lee, and sending someone to arrest Ronnie Lee in a prison cell.

The county government of Shuiwen County faces south, there are two stone lions in front of the door, and there are huge drums next to it, and there are guards at the gate.

Li Xintian walked to the door and said, "This errand officer, please also report to the police, saying that Li Xintian of the Li family visited Liu County Order with the intention of asking about the case of his father Li Qizong. ”

The officer looked at Li Xintian with a hesitant expression, as if he didn't want to go in and report.

"Yo, eldest young master, how can you have time to run to the yamen today, isn't the eldest young master never entered the yamen?" Suddenly, a lazy voice sounded, but I saw a swarthy and short man wearing the clothes of the head of the class and walked out leisurely.

"Black three?" Li Xintian frowned.

Hei San said with a smile: "It's not Hei San now, it's the third master, the eldest young master sees that I don't have this clothes, and I will take care of the yamen in and out in the future." ”

"Are you trying to stop me from entering?" Li Xintian said.

He had heard Xu Zhutou mention it before, and this black three fell to Liu County Order, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, the ruffian black three actually became the head of the team in the county government of this water county.

It's fast enough.

"Don't dare, don't dare, how can there be a place in this hydrological county where the big young master can't go, and the small one doesn't dare to stop it, but this yamen also has the rules of the yamen, and the big young master won't not understand." Hei San smiled, stretched out his hand and rubbed it.

Li Xintian said coldly: "Hei San, you dare to take my money?"

"Drink, the eldest young master is majestic, just by virtue of the eldest young master's words, others only need ten taels, and the eldest young master gets one hundred taels. Hei San grinned and said: "The Li family is a rich family, presumably these one hundred and two young masters are not in their eyes." ”

"Heisan, some money can be taken, and some money cannot be taken can't. Li Xintian stared at Hei San and said.

Hei San said: "The eldest young master, I don't understand the small ones, money is money, how can there be anything that can be taken or not, if the eldest young master doesn't give this money, then don't blame the small one for not giving the eldest young master this face, this report can be forgiven for the small powerlessness." ”

"I thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be a stupid person, that Liu County Order can protect you for a lifetime? Or do you think my Li family is so easy to deal with?"

Li Xintian said.

"Go, go, if the eldest young master doesn't have any money on him, go back and get it quickly, don't grind with me here anymore, I don't have time." ”

Hei San waved his hand impatiently.

"Hei San, for the sake of you who have done things for my Li family before, give you a chance, report for me, I can not pursue you, if you are obsessed, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

"Yo, the eldest young master will also say cruel things, but the third master is really not afraid, see this. Hei San pointed to his clothes: "The county government is on an errand boy, but the words of the eldest young master are enough to taste, but if you want to enter the yamen again, you will have to count this number." ”

"Ten thousand taels. ”

Li Xintian was not angry at the moment, and actually smiled lightly; "It's interesting, a person who wants money and doesn't want to die." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, Li Xintian had never been so angry as he was today, this black three was still lazy, and slammed into the muzzle of the gun.

"Hei San, don't be like this, he is the eldest young master of the Li family, if you offend him, something will happen. ”

The official next to him said with some trepidation.

"Phew, I'm afraid of a bird, didn't I see that Li Xintian was also deflated and left? What is the eldest young master of the Li family, what Li Jieyuan, only to give him face is called a big young master, Li Jieyuan, if you don't give him face, you are just a disciple of a businessman, dare to go against the yamen, and look for death. ”

Hei San spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and said with disdain.

But seeing Li Xintian being driven away by himself, there was some fluttering in his heart.

That's the eldest young master of the Li family, a well-known figure in Shuiwen County, but he still has to bow his head in front of his official uniform, if Li Xintian has an official uniform, then Hei San can only look down at Li Xintian.

Li Xintian didn't leave, but just walked to a shop of his own near the county government and gave an order.

Soon, a little guy ran out of the shop and disappeared.

After a while, a man came to the yamen and shouted, "Where is Heisan? Get out of here." ”

"What's your name, your third master is here. ”

Kurozo yawned and walked out of the doorway.

The man pulled out his waist knife and slashed at Hei San.

Hei San suddenly screamed, and a hole in one leg was immediately torn open, and blood immediately gushed out.

"Young Master, is it enough?" the man grabbed Hei San and dragged him out of the yamen, and asked instead.

Li Xintian didn't know where to come from, and said lightly: "His hand was too black, so he cut off one of his hands." ”

"Okay. The big man stepped on the arm of the black three, and with a brush of the waist knife, he cut off with one palm.

"Ah~!" Hei San screamed again, and immediately blood spurted wildly.

Li Xintian nodded and said, "It's okay, surrender." ”

"Yes. ”

As soon as the big man gave up his hand, he abandoned the waist knife and muttered: "Lao Tzu Han Meng, after fighting with Heisan, injured one of his legs, cut off one of his hands, and came to Yamen to surrender." ”

The other officials at the yamen immediately looked at each other, all of them shocked.

"What's the matter, what are you doing there, and you don't come to detain me, how did you do it? Han Meng shouted.

"Great, young master, what are you?" asked a servant nervously but respectfully.

Li Xintian glanced at Hei San, who was still wailing on the ground, and said: "It's nothing, it's just that my temper has come up, and I'm a little impulsive, so it's better to restrain myself next time." ”

Impulse?

This is all about slaughtering the black three.

The yamen's heart trembled.

I really didn't expect the Li family to have such ruthless methods, and they cleaned up Hei San in a moment.

No, it should be said that this young master of the Li family is ruthless.

It is said in Shuiwen County that the eldest young master of the Li family is kind-hearted and a good person, but he never thought that the eldest young master of the Li family would have such a black side.
