Liu Yanchang returned to the inn with the package, Liu Qiaoyun had already opened the room, and when he saw him, he hurriedly asked: "I heard from them, you just saved a person looking for death in the backyard?"

Liu Yanchang smiled: "Yes, it's still an amazing person, the magistrate of Ziyang County!"

"What?, Lord Zhixian?" Liu Qiaoyun exclaimed.

Liu Yanchang hurriedly made a silent gesture and said, "Now the people in the inn don't know yet, don't make a noise!"

Liu Qiaoyun nodded and said, "I know, but isn't the county all bullying the people and bending the law for bribes?

"Who knows, maybe it's more difficult to be an official in Ziyang County!" Liu Yanchang couldn't help but think of Cui Wan'er's father, Cui Yingshi was also the magistrate of Ziyang County at that time, and finally ended up with a ruined family. And the county magistrate in front of him is more direct, he actually hanged himself in the stable, and made a county order in Ziyang County, is it really so difficult?

The two were talking in a whisper, and there was a sound of footsteps on the wooden stairs outside the door, and then I heard the little guy knock on the door, standing outside the door and shouting: "Childe, that person woke up and said that he wanted to see you, so I bother you to go and see!"

"Okay, got it!" Liu Yanchang answered, then opened the door with the package and went out, and went to meet the magistrate with the little guy.

As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw a doctor with a medicine box on his back preparing to go out, Liu Yanchang stopped and asked, "Doctor, is the patient okay?"

The doctor said: "The patient is infected with the wind and cold at night, and there seems to be a depression and resentment in his heart, although there is no major problem, but it is not an overnight achievement to be cured. It is also necessary to recuperate carefully and evacuate the evil qi in the heart in order to get better faster. ”

"Then thank you doctor!" Liu Yanchang took a step sideways and asked the doctor to go first, and then entered the room.

"In Xia Meng Tingxuan, thank you for saving your life!"

Before Liu Yanchang approached the bed, the magistrate struggled to get up, knelt on the bed, and bowed. Before the words fell, he was already crying.

"Meng Zhixian, you can't deserve this courtesy, as long as you can think about it yourself, it would be better not to seek death again!" Liu Yanchang hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, pressed him to the bed and fell asleep, seeing that Meng Tingxuan was only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and he looked dignified, but he was a little thinner.

"So you know everything!" Meng Tingxuan heard him call Meng Zhixian, and suddenly let out a long sigh, and said helplessly: "It's not that I want to seek death, in some time, I'm afraid I will follow in the footsteps of Lord Cui!"

Liu Yanchang was taken aback: "The Master Cui you are talking about is Cui Yingshi and Cui Zhixian?"

"Exactly, you also know Cui Yingshi, Lord Cui?"

Liu Yanchang said: "I have some old feelings with Shang, and one of the reasons I came to Ziyang County this time is to explore his whereabouts. ”

Meng Tingxuan said sadly: "I heard that Master Cui was sent to the prison of the Criminal Department and sentenced to behead the marquis because of his ineffective handling of the case, the inability to collect taxes and silver on time, and the rampant bandits and thieves under his rule. Later, there was news that it was changed to exile for 3,000 miles, but I don't know if it's true or not. I couldn't understand Master Cui before, but now that I personally govern Ziyang County, I can understand his suffering!"

Liu Yanchang was overjoyed when he heard this, so it is very likely that Cui Yingshi was not executed, which is definitely great news for Cui Wan'er. If she told Cui Wan'er this news, she would definitely be excited for a while.

"Lord Meng, why don't you sit in the county government and come to this Juliu Town?" asked Liu Yanchang puzzled.

"One is to investigate the case, and the other is to collect taxes, but unfortunately none of them have been done. That's why I couldn't think about it for a while, and I wanted to die. ”

Under Liu Yanchang's slow listening, Meng Tingxuan told the truth of the matter.

It turns out that the so-called Ziyang County Yamen basically exists in name only, and there is no authority at all, and the county squires and businessmen collectively resist taxes, so that he can't recover one-twelfth of his taxes in a year, how can he pay the difference?

The officials of the county government never listened to his dispatch, but ran rampant in the township, fished and fleshed the people, and did all kinds of evil.

There is also the situation that Cui Wan'er once said, all kinds of bizarre murders often occur in Ziyang County, and there is no way to solve them, so that the Shangguan prefect keeps pressuring, which makes him miserable.

Meng Tingxuan came to Juliu Town this time, precisely because Kou Sanniang, the daughter of the rich family in the town, was mysteriously killed, and he had no available people around him, so he could only go into battle in person. Ben also hopes to take this opportunity to solve the case, and collect a little tax money from the rich man to pass this year.

Who would have thought that the case was not solved, but was severely insulted by the rich man of Kou. Under the anger and hatred, I really feel hopeless and commit suicide.

"It's Kou Sanniang again!" Liu Yanchang said to himself after listening to the whole story. He originally wanted to investigate the mystery behind the water mangcao, but he didn't expect to involve Baixian Nunnery, the Giant Willow Demon and the county magistrate Meng Tingxuan, and when he arrived here, a series of things were linked together.

"Do you also know Kou Sanniang?" Meng Tingxuan couldn't help but ask when he heard him talk.

Liu Yanchang came back to his senses and said busily: "I have heard of it occasionally, and I heard that it is a rare beauty in Juliu Town. It's half an hour now, so you might as well call for food and drinks, and let's talk while eating!"

Meng Tingxuan looked embarrassed and said with a wry smile: "It's really shy and penniless, so it's better to get rid of it!"

Liu Yanchang sighed secretly, being a county magistrate to do his job, it is estimated that it is the best of the best. However, Meng Tingxuan is a little detoured, his character is really good, if he takes the name of the magistrate, it is not a problem to cheat a few meals to eat, how can he sleep in the stables and be hungry?

Liu Yanchang said with a smile: "It's okay, I still have the money for dinner, you can rest assured!" After that, he called the little guy and asked him to go to the restaurant opposite to call for wine and food.

After a while, the wine and food were ready, and the pot of good rice wine was scalded. Suddenly, in the cold early winter, there was a little more warm feeling.

Liu Yanchang went to call his sister again, and it stands to reason that women can't show their heads at the table. But Liu Yanchang didn't care about these vain things, the three of them sat down, and a few cups of hot rice wine went down, and suddenly people warmed up.

Meng Tingxuan's alcohol consumption was not very good, and it was really difficult to vent the resentment in his heart, so after a while, his tongue became a little bigger, and he talked more.

Between crying and laughing, he revealed his most sincere self, but touched Liu Qiaoyun's soft heart.

Seeing that Meng Tingxuan was already lying on the table, he pulled Liu Yanchang's sleeve and begged to help him.

Liu Yanchang saw his sister's performance in his eyes, and his heart was like a mirror, if Meng Tingxuan was to be his brother-in-law, his character and appearance would generally meet the standard. It's just that his ability is a little weak, and he still needs to be trained well, otherwise if he lets his sister follow him, he will definitely be bullied.

How could he see his sister being bullied? It seems that the road of training his brother-in-law is imperative!
