For the girls whose relatives have not yet been settled, including Tao Ziyun's sister, Tao Ziyun still showed a little worry.

Tao Ansai said to Tao Ziyun with a big grin: "Brother, you don't have to worry about us, the achievement of a pair is a pair, and when fate comes, you will naturally become married." You have to believe that I can manage the order well, even if I can't meet the right person, I can still get by. ”

Tao Ziyun had no choice but to say that he didn't ask more, and just let them go with the flow.

Tao Ziyun's one-month vacation was over, and the people who said goodbye to his father and mother and Wu Xu, still went to the Yamen of the Governor of Liangjiang with the four ladies and children, as well as Lu Chahua and Liushan.

At the same time, there were also Su Caihua, Ai Luoluo, Jin Yewei and their father-in-law and children, who were relatives, saw Tao Ziyun at home, so they tried their best to accompany them, and Tao Ziyun went to work, so they could leave with confidence.

In the governor's yamen, it would be necessary to hear civil and criminal cases from time to time, and to handle that kind of official affairs, and the yamen was in a position of authority.

What is difficult is that there are many gangs and organizations in the people, and for the sake of their own interests, they rely on the number of people and the power of each other, and they conflict with each other, and endanger the people, and often make some cases that are not allowed by law. What is even stricter is that they will secretly confront the government, challenge the authority of the government, and force the government to relax or even give up its control over them.

On this day, Tao Ziyun was dealing with a lawsuit in court, the case of a rich man's servant disappeared, and the servant's father accused the rich man of killing his son.

Tao Ziyun looked at what was written on the paper, indicating that the servant's father, Li Zhaochen, was extremely poor in the past, and the whole family had no place to live, so he sent his fifth son, Li Jiaoshi, who was only ten years old at the time, to the rich man Lu Liangxu's mansion as a servant, and Li Jiaoshi was renamed Lu Xiang in Lu Mansion, and now thirteen years have passed. A year ago. Li Zhaochen found that his son was missing, and Lu Railxu couldn't give a reasonable explanation, so Li Zhaochen embarked on a long road of complaining and accused Lu Railxu of killing his son Li Jiaoshi.

In the previous trial of the lower-level yamen, because Li Zhaochen could not give evidence that his son was killed by the Lu Mansion, Li Zhaochen was sentenced to lose the case. Li Zhaochen was not convinced, and sued the governor's yamen.

Li Zhaochen's reason was that there was a precedent in the Lu Mansion for killing servants. More than a year ago, Lu Rui, another servant of Lu Mansion, was beaten to death by Lu Mansion. The people of Lu Rui's family went to the government to complain, but the government did not allow the servants to sue the master, and the case was not heard, so the people of Lu Rui's family had no choice but to give up the accusation against Lu Fu.

Li Zhaochen stubbornly insisted on appealing, asking the Lu Mansion to give him an explanation.

Lu Liangxu and Li Zhaochen, one was dressed fancy, fat and greasy, and the other was plainly dressed and withered, they knelt side by side in the court, and they all asked Tao Ziyun to give a fair judgment.

Tao Ziyun asked Lu Railxu: "Lu Railxu." Are you really, like you beat Lu Rui, to death Lu Xiang?"

Lu Liangxu immediately shouted loudly: "Lord Qingtian, the grass people are wronged! Lu Rui violated the rules of the Lu Mansion. When I was enforcing the family law, I accidentally beat me to death, and this matter is understandable, so the grass people have reached a settlement with Lu Rui's family. The grass people are afraid of the families of the servants. Denounce the grass people again, where do you dare to beat the servants to death! Lu Xiang did not abide by the rules of the Lu Mansion and acted outside without authorization. Let him go out of the house to do errands, he always takes the opportunity to do something unrelated to the Lu Mansion and superfluous, I just used the family law and hit fifty boards, and I didn't hurt the vital point at all, how could I be beaten to death!?"

"Didn't you kill him, where did Lu Xiang go?" Tao Ziyun asked sternly.

Lu Liangxu boldly argued: "The grass people don't know either! Because in the later period of Lu Mansion, he always couldn't return to the house on time when he went out to do business, and the last time, there was no news." The little one still wants to ask Li Zhaochen for someone! The little one suspects that Lu Xiang was hidden by his father and won't be my servant. ”

Tao Ziyun turned to Li Zhaochen and asked, "How do you know that your son is gone, or even killed?"

Li Zhaochen replied cautiously: "Back to the adult's words, the villain's family used to live in the countryside, but in recent years, the villain and his four eldest sons often come to the city to do some small business, first trafficking agricultural products from the countryside to the city to sell, and after having some savings, they opened a grocery store in the city called 'For the People and Themselves'. Because the youngest son, Lu Xiang, was a servant in Lu Mansion, the villain carried the merchant burden, entered Lu Mansion from the back door, and sold goods to the people of Lu Mansion. My son, who was a servant in Lu Mansion, is gone, and of course the villain will know. I heard that Lu Xiang was also beaten, and his whereabouts are unknown after that, and I am afraid that he is no longer alive. ”

At this time, Liu Shan came in and reported: "Lord Tao, there are officers and soldiers who have come to report, and a team of officers and soldiers have found opium on a ship. It has been determined that it is the ship of the Cao Gang, and the crew members have a bad attitude and fight with the officers and soldiers on the dock because they are not satisfied with the decision of the officers and men to seize their ships!"

Tao Ziyun hurriedly ordered Liu Shan: "You quickly bring a team of men and horses over to reinforce! They have made a move, not only to seize their ships, but also to arrest people! These folk gangs are really, and they don't care about the consequences, and they never stop." ”

Liu Shan went out, and Tao Ziyun said to Lu Liangxu and Li Zhaochen: "Let's do this first, and then, take us to you to see the situation." ”

Tao Ziyun sat in the official sedan chair and set off with the officers and soldiers, Lu Railxu and Li Zhaochen.

They arrived at Lu Mansion first, it seems that Lu Mansion has already made an offensive and defensive alliance, Tao Ziyun asked many people in Lu Mansion, and they all said that Lu Xiang went out to do errands and did not return within the time limit, so he did not know his whereabouts.

They came to Li Zhaochen's "store for the benefit of the people" again, and the ladies in it quickly avoided it, and only Li Zhaochen's four eldest sons received them in the shop.

Li Zhaochen's four sons swore to Tao Ziyun that their younger brother Lu Xiang never came back, and they blindly asked Tao Ziyun to punish Lu Liangxu, the murderer who killed Lu Xiang!

In this case, Tao Ziyun decided to let Lu Liangxu and Li Zhaochen go home, and when he launched an investigation into this public case, it was necessary to announce them to the yamen again.

Tao Ziyun led the officers and soldiers past the river wharf, looked out from the window of the sedan chair, and saw that Liu Shan, with the officers and soldiers, was still fighting fiercely with a group of people wearing people's clothes! On the other side of the street, there was a large group of strong men wearing the same clothes, running straight over and killing the officers and soldiers led by Liu Shan!

Liu Shan saw Tao Ziyun's official sedan chair coming, and while dealing with the people of the Cao Gang, he reported the situation to Tao Ziyun: "Lord Tao, when we came to reinforce us, there were people from the neighboring ships who came to fight us, and now the people on the nearby boats, all who can come, and people from the Cao Gang from other places have come to fight against us!"

Tao Ziyun lifted the sedan curtain, waved his hand to the officers and soldiers around him, and led them to join the ranks of dealing with those Cao Gangs.

Tao Ziyun Immortal Technique shot, the effect was obvious, and it didn't take long for the officers and soldiers to arrest all those strong men of the Cao Gang and tie them up with ropes.

Tao Ziyun solemnly ordered: "These people harm the interests of the people and the state, and ignore the laws and regulations of the imperial court! As long as anyone comes to attack the ships of the officers and soldiers, those ships will be seized and sealed, the goods on the ships will be brought back, the useful goods will be confiscated, the opium will be destroyed, and all the people who have been captured will be put in prison!"

......

After dealing with this matter, Tao Ziyun made a private visit and found Lu Rui's family in the suburbs of Nanjing.

Lu Rui's father sued Tao Ziyun that his son was indeed killed by Lu Liangxu's order, and he had no way to ask for help, so he had to give up his appeal. However, later, Lu Liangxu sent someone to return his son's coffin to him, and gave him some silver to cover his mouth, so that he would not blame Lu Fu again. Therefore, he will not mention this matter again.

"Lu Liangxu is private with you like this, are you convinced?" Tao Ziyun asked Lu Rui's father calmly.

Lu Rui's father replied in a depressed spirit: "Alas, the Lu Mansion is unscrupulous, and the government does not accept my son's case. Whoever sues his master does not have to accept it, but is ordered to be cut off. I had to drop the lawsuit. I heard that Lu Fu later beat other servants to death, that servant's family was many and fierce, and his father Li Zhaochen was unforgiving to Lu Fu. Later, the Lu family sent the coffin and gave me a little silver tael, probably because they were afraid that I would be involved in dealing with the Lu Mansion again. My family is thin and can't deal with the Lu Mansion like Li Zhaochen, so we can only do this. ”

Tao Ziyun looked inside the house, and the voices of the women and children who were avoiding came from the back room, understood their situation, did not indicate his identity, and said goodbye to Lu Rui's father.

Returning to the governor's yamen, Liu Shan came to report and said: "The officers and soldiers who patrol the various places have told me that the people of the Cao Gang have spoken everywhere and vowed to fight you to the end......

Tao Ziyun smiled: "Haha! The cases of the Cao Gang have been investigated and dealt with a lot, and they have long been fighting against me." I have also punished the Salt Gang a lot, is it that the Salt Gang will also swear to fight me to the end!"

Liu Shan replied solemnly: "If you go back to your lordship, the Salt Gang also means this. The Salt Gang, who often attacked with the Cao Gang, expressed their support for the Cao Gang, saying that they would not give in to you. My lord, you have a tendency to be attacked on your back.
