Volume 2 Mountains and Rivers Chapter 31 Liu Pingfeng

He Zizhang led the officials to the inn to retrieve Zheng Bo's body, originally this thing was not what he should do, according to the law, if in Lishan, it should be led by the head catcher, according to the law of Liyang, the head catcher is the same as the master, it is to be selected and dispatched, and sent to the local government to assist the position of large and small officials, before the Nanshan Provincial Government in addition to some positions responsible for prison care, large and small fast catchers were killed by Zhou Bomin, not waiting for the next year's recruitment, the position of Nanshan Road is temporarily vacant, about the errand of catching fast, the official has a separate position, called a bad person。

However, the tradition can be followed, and the large and small places are still called catching fast, and only at the foot of Li Mountain can there be the name of bad people.

He Zizhang went back and forth this time, his heart was heavy, he knew that it was the people of the Liu family who killed someone, but he could only pretend not to know, and called a group of officials of all sizes to investigate, these people, even if they knew that it was the people killed by the Liu family, who would dare to go? Moreover, the neighbors were not necessarily willing to come to corroborate.

Li Jingyun tied up the knife that Qin gave him, and was waiting to follow the official to Liu's house to get someone, and after waiting for a day, no one summoned him, and when he was lying on the table and falling asleep, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

got up and went to open, and the person who came was the prefect He Zizhang.

He Zizhang entered the door, closed it reflexively and said, "Come, sit."

Li Jingyun sat on the stool and listened to He Zizhang say: "I was in a hurry when I separated from Xiaoyou that day, and I didn't have time to get to know each other well, I am a Confucian student in Bailu Cave for 12 years, and my family is a person from Lishan Zuoqiu, and I am new to this place, and I am not familiar with Xiaoyou's ordinary life", he said and said with a smile: "Even if Xiaoyou comes from Qingming Mountain, he must be a senior talent of Yuelu Academy?"

Li Jingyun shook his head and said: "My family lives in Gannan Dao, and I am not a disciple of Yuelu Academy, master", scratched his head and said: "Kung Fu was learned from Brother Huang, but he is not my master."

He Zizhang said: "Oh", his voice was elongated, with a slight disappointment, he originally thought that if Li Jingyun was a scholar of Yuelu Academy, he should go to Yuelu Academy Cao Xianshi to help him come up with ideas, since he was not a student of Yuelu Academy, then there was no possibility of asking Cao Zihao to help.

"Alas...... The Liu family here has deep roots, and Uncle Zheng's case is afraid that it will not be able to be handled."

Li Jingyun was stunned when he heard this: "What can't I do, why can't I do it, aren't you a parent official here?"

He Zizhang was stunned for a moment when he heard the three words of his parents, and said slightly apologetically: "You are not a scholar, you must not know the trouble here, it is not difficult to go to the Liu family to ask for people, the difficult thing is to ask them to bow to the law", a short sigh and said: "The inn is all the territory of the Liu family, and the surrounding people were silent when I went to visit, for fear of retaliation from the Liu family", thought about it and said: "You think, I will go to the Liu family now to ask for a person, and in the future, the Liu family will increase the land rent of the people here, and I don't know how many people will starve to death."

No matter how stupid Li Jingyun was, he figured it out, and said: "He is the landlord here, if he offends the landlord, he will have to pay more grain, and the people will be guilty, how can this be good?"

I secretly said in my heart: It would be nice if Meng Meng was there.

Suddenly, he said: "Lord Prefect, how far is it from Penglai Island here?"

He Zizhang was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Little friend, you ......."

"I have a friend who lives on Penglai Island, she is very smart, she must have a way."

He Zizhang laughed and said: "Xiaoyou said that it was funny, this Penglai Immortal Island is fluctuating, today in the East China Sea, tomorrow it may go to Nanshan, how can mortals find the way."

got up and said: "It's not too early, Xiaoyou rest, if there is progress in this matter, I will come to find Xiaoyou again, and it is not too late for Xiaoyou to make plans after spending the New Year in the house during this time."

turned around and said: "Hey, since Xiaoyou knows how to work hard, the government is now lacking a bad person in charge, Xiaoyou is interested?"

Li Jingyun didn't know what this bad person was and asked, "I don't really understand."

He Zizhang thought for a while and said, "It's just catching fast."

"I haven't done this before, but I can give it a try, and it's not good to stay in someone else's house for nothing."

He Zizhang laughed and said: "It's okay, if Xiaoyou wants to do it, I will write your name first when I go back, and once the recruitment examination is over next year, it will be a regular job here."

Li Jingyun heard this: "Then there is Master Lao."

Li Jingyun saw that the prefect got up and left, and he had no idea for a while. Secretly said to himself: Isn't it very simple to kill people to pay for their lives and repay debts? Looking up at the direction in which the prefect had gone, it was still difficult to understand for a while.

"Bad people ......", muttered a few times, and said in his heart: "I don't know how long it will take for this matter to ......."

Looking up at the moon, the jade plate is like ice.

In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of the New Year, the prefect sent some money and silver, Li Jingyun was going to send it back, but the messenger said that he would not take it back, saying that he would send it back himself, ran all over the mansion, and did not see the figure of the prefect of He, but he still stayed, thinking about it, he had nothing to buy, so he simply bought two clothes, and then bought some pastries, and waited for the New Year.

The population of 32 pavilions in the four counties of Nanshan Road is tens of thousands, which is considered to be the place north of the south of the Yangtze River, and the New Year festival is very lively. Cloth, tea, all kinds of poultry, as well as hawkers from the far Central Plains, fishermen from the sea, a wide variety of dazzling.

Li Jingyun, who originally only bought a set of clothes and snacks, had not bought these two, and his hands were full of all kinds of festival supplies, and he was walking forward in his heart, when he suddenly heard the sound of rapid horses' hooves in his ears, and pedestrians on both sides gave way, and the little girl in front of him was lying on the ground playing with a wooden toad.

There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd, and when the horse's hooves stepped down, the people on the horse cursed and shouted loudly, and they were panicked at this time.

But there was a long neigh, and the two horses' hooves immediately stopped in the air, and a man in front of him carried the horse's hooves on his shoulders and forced the horse to turn around and stop to the side.

Someone from the crowd immediately came out and took the little girl away, but when he saw something on the ground rolling to the ground, the person immediately broke out in a cold sweat, jumped off the horse, and said while picking up things: "Thank you Daxia, in Xia Liu Pingfeng, if you are not a son today, you will have a big disaster."

"The second son of the Liu family?", the others exclaimed.

"Didn't he go to the northwest frontier as a frontier soldier? Why did he come back?"

"I'm afraid I didn't flee back."

Li Jingyun was stunned for a moment when he heard the sound of discussion in his ears, but seeing that the person in front of him seemed to be deaf to the surrounding comments, he picked up the things that Li Jingyun scattered on the ground, and arched his hand: "Thank you Daxia, otherwise there will be a big disaster today."

Li Jingyun said: "It's okay, I just saw it."

The young man said: "The young man of Lao is worried about his name, and he can repay him in the future."

Li Jingyun said: "I am Li Jingyun, a bad person from the Nanshan Provincial Government."

Liu Pingfeng was surprised when he heard this: "It turns out that they are also officials of the imperial court", thought about it and said: "I have a heavy responsibility under my body, I have a letter to send, and I will repay the kindness of my son when I come back after sending the letter."

Li Jingyun said: "That's not in a hurry."

Liu Pingfeng bowed at Li Jingyun, jumped on horseback, and galloped away outside the city gate.

Li Jingyun carried things, looked at the big horse from a distance, and said to himself: What a majesty.

Liu Pingfeng is indeed the second son of the Liu family in Nanshan Road, he came back from the border this time to mourn for his eldest brother, and when he came back, he saw a character he had never expected in his life.

Zhou Boli, King of the Northwest.

What kind of character is Zhou Boli, that is Zhou Bomin who has to bow his head and call his big brother when he sees it, and the soldiers and horses in the world will tremble three times with a wave of his hand, he is just a small captain in the border area, and he has the opportunity to meet Zhou Boli in this life?

However, it was indeed Zhou Boli who came to see him and asked him to bring a letter to Huo Bing, the captain of Nanshan Dao.

It stands to reason that if it is a military book, it should be rushed for eight hundred miles, but this kind of thing, how can it be controlled by Liu Pingfeng, this way home, he could have come back safely and steadily, just because of this letter, he ran a lot of good horses, even so, it was still a step late to go home, and the eldest brother Liu Rufeng had already been buried.

Only in the ancestral hall for a month of mourning, then hurriedly went to the horn mouth station.

Running wildly all the way, it was already afternoon when I arrived at the terracotta battalion.

He held Zhou Boli's letter stamped with a gold seal in his hand, showed it to the officers and soldiers in charge of guarding the soldiers and horses battalion, and let him in.

Huo Bing was not implicated because of the Nanshan Dao case some time ago, and he was frightened every day during this time, and when he saw the letter printed with Zhou Boli, the king of the northwest, his heart jumped, and he reluctantly sent Liu Pingfeng away with a smile, and he never dared to open the letter.

He heard the news that the emperor was seriously ill a few days ago, and when he received the letter from the king of the northwest, his hand trembled slightly.

After thinking about it for a while, I turned off the lights, and wanted to wait for the night to sneak a peek through the moonlight.

It was already evening when Liu Pingfeng returned to Nanshan City, and he wanted to find the son-in-law who helped him during the day, so after thinking about it, he still went home first, and with a big urge, he broke directly into the gate of Liu's house and went straight to his residence.

The two guards in charge of the gate of the Liu family saw Liu Pingfeng rushing in, and a figure quietly appeared in the dark night.

Immediately knelt down and said, "Disciple see the Lotus Hall Master."

"Where did Childe go today?".

The two men looked at each other and couldn't answer for a long time.

"Rubbish!", a faint blue light flashed in his hand, and then he whispered: "Such a big living person can't look at it, what's the use of keeping you."

Li Jingyun returned to the mansion, found a table for the incense burner and other things he bought, picked up the pen and paper, thought for a long time, and was about to start writing, but somehow, he thought for a moment and wrote on the paper: The position of the ancestor Li Gong Huaishui.

picked up a piece of yellow paper again and wrote: The position of the ancestor Yang Xiaoru, Ru characters can't be written, and it is written as such, and the two spiritual positions are put together and placed on the table.

Suddenly smiled: "My son hasn't read many books, and probably wrote his mother's name wrongly", looked at it for a while, and said: "By the way, there is also the tablet of my father-in-law", turned around and lay on the table, was about to start writing, and said in his heart: "I only know that my father's surname is Jiang, and my father's surname is Wen, but I don't know those two words, even if I know, I may not be able to write, hmm...... Write ...... like this", put pen to paper: the position of the father-in-law, the position of the mother-in-law, and the heart: Anyway, they only have one son, I'm afraid that no one will worship them anymore, and I only have this one father-in-law, and they should be able to receive incense.

lit a stack of paper money, threw it into the basin, and said while burning: "Two fathers and mothers, my son is fine, but this river and lake are sinister, and these days are almost not good", picked up the dim sum bought on the table, and before he moved his mouth, he suddenly smiled, first picked up the new clothes he bought, and said: "Look, the prefect gave me money and silver, and I bought a pair of clothes, but it was not enough, and I thought that you couldn't wear it if I bought it for you, so I didn't buy it, since it was my father, I shouldn't blame ......."

As he spoke, he put down his clothes, picked up the snack and said, "I don't know where Sister Qianyue and Brother Qin are now, I hope they have also found a place to stay, and don't run for their lives anymore......"

After thinking about it, he said, "Mengmeng...... Meng Meng should be fine", said lowered her head, silent, and whispered for a long time: "I miss her a little, but she has a father, so she must not be too lonely......

Suddenly, there was movement in his ears, and when he turned his head to look, He Zizhang walked to his door at some point, and was looking at himself through the door that he forgot to close.

"You ......"
