Chapter 121 Braised recipe

Jin Moli doesn't like Jin Cuicui.

She is Jin Xiaoye's cousin who grew up together. She has not touched Jin Xiaoye's glory and has not received any benefits from Jin Xiaoye. How can an orphan girl who doesn't know where she comes from be raised by Jin Xiaoye as his own daughter?

After Jin Cuicui grew up, Jin Xiaoye took Jin Cuicui into business and planned to hand over the braised food business to Jin Cuicui...

Jin Xiaoye's son wanted to study, so it was normal for her to let her daughter-in-law take care of business, but Jin Moli always felt uncomfortable.

She gave birth to two sons and two daughters in her previous life. Her two daughters stood beside Jin Cuicui like maids. Why didn't Jin Xiaoye take care of her daughters?

Jin Moli had met Jin Cuicui when she was a child in her last life, but because so much time had passed, she had long forgotten what Jin Cuicui looked like as a child. It was not until her son called Cuicui that she recognized him.

Not to mention anything else, Jin Cuicui is really good-looking. She has been a beauty since she was a child...

Jin Moli stared at Chang Cui for a long time. Chang Cui was a little scared, so she hid behind Li Damao and stuck out half of her head to carefully observe Jin Moli.

Jin Moli asked Li Damao and Li Ermao: "Who is this?"

Li Damao looked proud: "This is Cuicui, our sister!"

Jin Moli said: "Da Mao Er Mao, is your mother very good to your sister?"

Li Damao and Li Ermao nodded.

Jin Moli said: "Your mother doesn't like you anymore since she has a younger sister!"

Jin Moli said this for some reason. In her previous life, Jin Xiaoye was too good to Jin Cuicui, and her children even cried over it.

Although the relationship between the young people was very good when they grew up, Jin Xiaoye's daughter did not like Jin Cuicui when she was a child.

Jin Moli wanted to see Li Damao and Li Ermao feel uncomfortable, but Li Damao and Li Ermao looked at her like a fool and continued to play without saying anything.

Their mother wouldn't dislike them because of Cuicui.

Their mother likes them the most!

As for Cuicui... they also like Cuicui!

Jin Moli became even more angry when she saw this. At this time, she smelled a familiar fragrance.

Wait, isn't this the taste of braised food that made Jin Xiaoye earn a fortune every day in his previous life?

Why does she smell it?

Did Jin Xiaoye get the braised food recipe again?

The Li family was holding a banquet today. Jin Moli originally didn't plan to go there, but now she couldn't sit still and hurried over.

Then she saw two simple stoves set up in front of Li Qing's house, where brine was boiling.

At this time Jin Xiaoshu came back, and they started to cut the meat, and then put the meat into the pot to cook.

"Where did this braised pork recipe come from?" Jin Moli couldn't help but ask.

The villagers were also curious: "Li Qingzhi, your brine is too fragrant. How did you make it?"

"Where did you learn it? Can you teach me?"

"I want to learn too!"

…

Li Qing insisted: "This is someone else's secret recipe. I don't know the details. The spices were mixed and given to me."

"Whose secret recipe is it? It's so fragrant!" the man asked.

Li Qing insisted: "It's from Cuicui's family, that little girl."

Li Qingzhi called Chang Cui to him and introduced him to the villagers: "This is Chang Cui, and this braised pork recipe belongs to her."

Magistrate Zhang should have gone to Linhu County by now. The Chang family will definitely be able to reverse the case, so there is no need to hide Chang Cui's identity.

When the matter is settled, King Jin will not have trouble with ordinary people like the Chang family... The Chang family is not the only one who suffers in Linhu County.

The villagers had no reaction when they heard what Li Qingzhi said, but Jin Moli was stunned.

Jin Cuicui was originally called Chang Cui?

Jin Xiaoye's marinade

The meat recipe turns out to be from Chang Cui's family?

In the last life, Jin Xiaoye said that Chang Cui's family members were all dead and Chang Cui was an orphan. In this life, Chang Cui's family members are still alive?

Just when Jin Xiaoye came out of the room, Jin Moli immediately asked: "Jin Xiaoye, how did you meet Jin... and Chang Cui?"

Why is it that Jin Xiaoye takes advantage of all the good things?

Jin Xiaoye glanced at Jin Moli: "When I met Cuicui, weren't you there? Her uncle wanted to give her to me at that time."

When Jin Xiaoye said this, Jin Moli immediately thought of the uncle and niece she met at the dock before.

Because Jin Xiaoye gave him a steamed bun, the uncle had to give his niece to Jin Xiaoye.

At that time, she felt that the uncle was cruel and that Jin Xiaoye was fake and kind... Is that girl Chang Cui?

Jin Moli no longer remembered the girl's appearance. The children looked similar, but the child was dirty... She didn't bother to remember it at all.

Now that I think about it, that child seems to be Chang Cui.

Thinking of this, Jin Moli suddenly thought of something.

Chang Cui's uncle originally wanted to buy food from her!

She didn't want to just sell food, and she disliked the man for being dirty and poor, so she wanted to drive him away. However, Jin Xiaoye felt sorry for him and gave him a steamed bun...

What would have happened if she had sold food at that time?

In her last life, Jin Xiaoye had been selling food at the dock. Did she also meet Chang Cui's uncle?

Did Jin Xiaoye give him food like he gave Chang Cui's uncle steamed buns in this life?

Then... Chang Cui's uncle gave Chang Cui and the braised pork recipe to Jin Xiaoye, and Jin Xiaoye made a fortune from it?

Wanting to understand this matter, Jin Moli covered her chest and almost couldn't breathe.

She wanted to make a lot of money, but she missed such a good opportunity!

If only she had known about this...

"What's wrong with you?" Jin Xiaoye asked Jin Moli.

Jin Moli's eyes turned red: "It's all your fault!" If she hadn't met Jin Xiaoye that day, which put her in a bad mood, she might not have disliked Chang Cui's uncle...

Jin Xiaoye felt confused: "Jin Moli, have your brain been damaged?"

She suspected that Jin Moli was ill again. Over the years, Jin Moli would fall ill from time to time and say something incomprehensible.

After hearing the conversation between Jin Xiaoye and Jin Moli, the villagers looked at Jin Moli in confusion. What's going on with Jin Moli? The whole person looks wrong!

Jin Moli was regretful and angry, covered her face and ran away crying.

Jin Xiaoye looked at Li Qingzhi blankly: "I didn't do anything, did I? Why is she crying?"

Li Qing insisted: "Who knows, she is inexplicable."

Li Qingzhi and Jin Xiaoye ignored Jin Moli, but when Jin Moli returned home, she felt more and more uncomfortable the more she thought about it.

It doesn't really matter that Yao Zhenfu failed to pass the scholar examination. He failed to pass the examination in his previous life.

As long as she has that braised pork recipe, she can live the life she dreamed of in Jin Xiaoye's previous life!

But now, it's all gone!

The only good thing is that Chang Cui's uncle is not dead yet, and Jin Xiaoye hasn't gotten the braised pork recipe yet.

Jin Moli clasped her hands together and prayed to God to protect Chang Cui's uncle and not let Chang Cui's uncle die.

Chang Zhan didn't know that someone was praying for him for peace.

While Li Qingzhi was hosting a banquet in Miaoqian Village, Magistrate Zhang rushed to Linhu County with Chang Zhan and others.

The quarry did not have close contact with Magistrate Yan. Magistrate Yan knew nothing about the accident at the quarry, so today, as usual, he went to the county government office early to handle matters.

However, as a county magistrate, even if he knew something happened at the quarry, he would not run away, let alone have nowhere to run.

Magistrate Yan handles government affairs very quickly.

He can actually manage a county well. The poor county where he was an official was managed very well by him.

But that's no use at all!

He was loved by the people at the time, but because he had no money to give gifts to his boss, he had no chance of promotion.

He has realized that being kind to the people will not benefit him. Only being loyal to the big shots above can help him rise higher and higher!

The King of Jin sent him a message, saying that when Magistrate Zhang left office, he would ask officials in the court to recommend him as Magistrate.

After serving as the prefect for several years, he could still return to the capital and become a capital official.

Magistrate Yan was in a good mood and thought about how he could make more money for the Lou family.

He can also make a fortune himself.

Linhu County is really a wealthy place. Even if so much land is taken over by the Lou family, the people here can still live a comfortable life.

At this time, someone suddenly ran in from outside: "Sir, it's not good!"

"What are you talking about, sir? I'm fine!" Magistrate Yan was dissatisfied.

The servant was stunned, trembling all over and speechless.

Only then did Magistrate Yan realize something was wrong: "What's wrong?"

As soon as he asked this question, a group of soldiers rushed in from outside, controlled him, and dragged him outside the county government office.

Only then did Magistrate Yan realize that he was really in trouble.

However, he was still lucky in his heart. He was the county magistrate and would not be dealt with casually.

He also knows a lot about King Jin, and King Jin will definitely find a way to save him.

Magistrate Yan thought so, and when he saw Magistrate Zhang, he said: "Master Magistrate, I am an official of the imperial court, how could you do this to me..."

"Kneel down!" Magistrate Zhang said.

Magistrate Yan was naturally unwilling to kneel down, but at this moment, someone came behind him and kicked him in the hip.

He fell to his knees unconsciously.

When he knelt down, Magistrate Zhang was shocked and began to interrogate him...

Magistrate Zhang has already taken the risk.

As a magistrate, he couldn't kill the magistrate casually, but after arresting Magistrate Yan, he no longer planned to let Magistrate Yan live.

He wanted to kill him first and deal with him later!

Also needing to be dealt with are those in the Lou family who have committed crimes.

As for why he did it... he was afraid that if he didn't do it, these people would be freed and unscathed.

He is now in his forties and has no heirs... In recent years, he has been very conniving with King Jin, and he should also be considering letting King Jin ascend the throne.

Under such circumstances...even today, I will not offend King Jin.

Even today, I am afraid that King Jin will treat his concubines and two daughters badly after his death.

Various thoughts flashed through Magistrate Zhang's mind, and then he imitated Magistrate Gou and interrogated Magistrate Yan in front of the people of Linhu County.

He had read all the books written by Li Qing that praised Magistrate Gou. At that time, he felt that Magistrate Gou's public interrogation of Zhang Yunquan was particularly satisfying.

Now, he can also have a good time!

Magistrate Yan has done a lot of evil things, and the victims are not the only ones who suffer.

Magistrate Zhang immediately sentenced him to death and ordered the soldiers of the Xiang Army to execute him immediately.

Both Magistrate Yan and the people of Linhu County were dumbfounded.

However, Magistrate Yan was dumbfounded and began to beg for mercy, saying that Magistrate Zhang did not have this power, and the people were different, and they cheered.

"The prefect is a good man!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

"This guy is finally going to die!"

…

The commander of the Xiang Army looked at Magistrate Zhang with some worry: "Prefect Zhang, wouldn't it be a good idea if you directly killed County Magistrate Yan?"

A prefect actually chopped off the head of the magistrate... When this matter is over, Magistrate Zhang will not be able to get any relief!

Magistrate Zhang still needed the Xiang army to help him, so he lied: "I have your Majesty's secret decree, and your Majesty allows me to do this!"

The commander of the Xiang Army stopped talking after hearing this.

Although everyone thinks that King Jin will be the next emperor, he is still alive today!

After Magistrate Zhang killed Magistrate Yan, he asked people to bring the Lou family here, and then interrogate them one by one, starting with Mr. Lou.

He found some victims in advance and found some evidence, which was enough to convict Mr. Lou of death.

Then, something he didn't expect happened - a new victim appeared and sued Mr. Lou!

Seeing that he really killed Magistrate Yan, the people of Linhu County began to believe him.

Mr. Lou was also sentenced to death

Because of the crime, Magistrate Zhang asked the Xiang army to execute him on the spot as before.

Seeing this situation, the Lou family cried and cried.

They desperately begged for mercy, but Magistrate Zhang didn't listen at all!

After taking Master Lou's eldest son into custody, Magistrate Zhang continued the interrogation...

On this day, blood flowed all over the ground at the entrance of the government office in Linhu County, and a lot of it even flowed into the river.

This scene was quite terrifying, but the people in Linhu County were cheering.

Some people scooped up water from the river to drink - there was the blood of evil people in this river!

They have long wanted to tear those evildoers apart, eat their flesh, and drink their blood!

Magistrate Zhang is such a good official!

When Magistrate Zhang caused a big event in Linhu County, villagers in Miaoqian Village gathered around Li's house, waiting for a banquet.

Li's braised pork is so delicious, they can't wait to eat it!

Of course, no matter how delicious the braised pork is, they have not forgotten why they came to have a banquet.

The Li family held this banquet because Li Qingzhi was the head of the government trial!

Li Qingzhi is too smart!

Li Qingzhi was talking to someone when Aunt Jin suddenly squeezed over and touched Li Qingzhi's forehead with her hand.

Li Qingzhi looked confused, and then he saw Aunt Jin put her hand on his son's forehead again: "God, please bless my son to be as smart as Li Qingzhi..."

After saying that, seeing Li Qingzhi looking at her in confusion, Aunt Jin said: "Aqing, you also know that my son is very stupid... With your cleverness, I can enlighten my son!"

Li Qingzhi: "..." He has never seen such a consecration!

Just when Li Qingzhi felt that Aunt Jin's behavior was speechless, one of Jin Xiaoye's elders suddenly touched his forehead, and then touched his own forehead: "Let me give myself a blessing."

"I also want to shine a light!"

"Prescribe one for my son!"

"And my son!"

…

Li Qingzhi ran away without thinking. Although he liked physical contact with people, he didn't like having his forehead touched with dirty hands.

And with so many people... maybe a layer of skin would be touched off his forehead, and he might even be touched bald!

However, Li Qingzhi underestimated the obsession of the villagers.

After he ran into the house and refused the villagers' request for "consecration," the villagers no longer dared to touch his forehead, but they all looked at him with pleading eyes... Being looked at like this by a group of middle-aged and elderly people, Li Qingzhi felt uncomfortable all over. He could only take out some articles he had written: "My talents are all in the articles, you can touch this."

Then, people in the village lined up to touch his articles and then touch their own foreheads, trying to absorb the genius in his articles.

Just this scene... looks like some weird religious practice. "These people are really useless like this!" Li Qingzhi sighed.

Jin Xiaoye said: "Not necessarily, maybe it's really useful."

Li Qingzhi was confused—when did Jin Xiaoye become superstitious?

Jin Xiaoye said: "After I have been in contact with you for a long time, I always feel that I am getting smarter..." Her memory is really much better now than before.

Li Qingzhi: "..." Jin Xiaoye is indeed getting smarter and smarter, but this is not because he was "consecrated" by being with him, but because he used his powers to help Jin Xiaoye develop his brain.

Just as he was thinking this, Li Qingzhi was touched on the forehead by Jin Xiaoye, who followed closely and put his hand on his forehead.

Li Qingzhi coughed lightly: "Xiaoye, using your hands is not very effective. It only works best if you put your forehead against your forehead..."

He lowered his head and aimed his forehead at Jin Xiaoye's. Their foreheads were already aligned. Are the others still far away?

Just as he was about to make out, Li Damao and Li Ermao came in: "Father, mother, what are you doing?"

Li Qingzhi looked serious: "I'll pass on some wisdom to your mother."

Li Ermao said "Wow": "Dad, I want it too, I want to become smarter!"

Li Damao also looked at Li Qingzhi expectantly.

Li Qingzhi had no choice but to pick up the two children, head to head.

That's it... let's use his powers to make them smarter.

Chapter 122 Delicious

Calculated according to modern time, in Chongcheng County now, the sun starts at around five o'clock every morning.

Li Qingzhi and Jin Xiaoye arrived at Miaoqian Village at around six in the morning. At around seven o'clock, they had already cooked the marinade.

The pork was ready to be eaten in half an hour. After Li Qing used his powers to develop Li Damao and Li Ermao's brain, he went outside and fished the pork out of the big pot.

He cut the large piece of pork into smaller pieces and put it into a small pot in the house with a certain amount of brine to collect the juice. The pork was considered ready.

Seeing that the people in the village were watching eagerly, Li Qingzhi simply divided the meat among them.

And when the villagers put the meat in their mouths...

"This meat is so delicious!"

"This is the best meat I've ever eaten!"

"I can't even bear to swallow it!"

…

Li Qingzhi smiled when he saw this, and spoke to several nearby families: "Our family is short of tables, chairs, benches, and a few pots for the banquet. I want to borrow some from you. I won't borrow the bowls and chopsticks this time. Everyone Bring the bowls and chopsticks from home and come here to eat."

These people responded one after another after hearing the words, and soon someone came over with pots, tables and chairs. Li Qingzhi asked them to help build a few more stoves and cook rice.

Of course, he has been making braised pork. He also bought some chickens and ducks from the villagers, and asked them to kill them on the spot, wash them, and put them into the pot to make braised chicken and duck.

Li Qingzhi was a southerner in his previous life. They have a local braised meat shop that has been passed down for two hundred years. The braised meat they make is very delicious. The braised meat made by Chang's recipe is not inferior to that time-honored braised meat shop. .

The only pity is that the braised sauce is not spicy at all.

Li Qingzhi had never seen chili peppers on the market, but he had learned about Daqi's situation from Zhu Qian and knew that Daqi's maritime trade was quite prosperous... Chili peppers might have been available, but they were not popular.

Even sweet potatoes may already be available and can be promoted.

Sweet potatoes have a high yield and the leaves are edible. If there is such a crop, the lives of ordinary people will be much easier.

But it's unrealistic to feed everyone with sweet potatoes.

In modern society, some countries have fertile land, but their people are still starving because those lands are not in the hands of the poor at all.

If you want people not to go hungry, you need to let them own their own land.

Well, it's not enough for them to have land, they also need fertilizer. Before their country's industry had developed and there was not enough fertilizer, many people were still hungry.

For crops like sweet potatoes, without enough fertilizer, the yield per acre cannot be increased, and it is not easy to preserve. He remembered that in the books he had read... Southerners would make sweet potato porridge and rice to satisfy their hunger in more difficult times, but they The main food eaten is still rice.

It would be great if there were chemical fertilizers. Even if there were no sweet potatoes, everyone would be able to eat white rice.

There is really a shortage of fertilizer in this era. In the countryside, some people even go to other people's homes to steal excrement.

Moreover, the population of Daqi was much smaller than that of later generations. In fact, there was still a lot of wasteland. No one cultivated those lands. Part of the reason was that the land lacked fertility and could not grow food.

In addition, the water conservancy facilities in Daqi are not good. If some places in the north encounter drought, people may lose their harvest.

It was so difficult for the people at this time.

While Li Qingzhi was looking at the pot for cooking braised meat, he was thinking about something, while the people in Miaoqian Village were chatting: "Have you ever gone to Li Qingzhi's place to have a light?"

"I've been there, how about you?"

"I've been there too, and I've consecrated my children several times."

"I didn't expect that Li Qingzhi even ranked first in the government examination and was willing to help cook!"

"Yeah, I'm so awesome today, I ate the braised pork cooked by the boss!"

"Compared with Li Qingzhi, Yao Zhenfu is really nothing. He couldn't even pass the county examination and is still unwilling to work."

"Jin Moli was also nagging. She cried out of nowhere, and she blamed Jin Xiaoye... Why should she blame Jin Xiaoye?"

"She used to be better than Jin Xiaoye in everything, but now she is not as good as Jin Xiaoye. Doesn't she feel comfortable?"

"Forget about her, the braised meat made by Li Qingzhi is so delicious!"

"There is also the matter of consecration... My daughter has married in the next village. I want her to bring my grandson and granddaughter over to consecrate my grandson and granddaughter."

…

As a result, what happened in Miaoqian Village spread to other villages.

This time at the banquet, Li Qingzhi only planned to treat him to a meal and then distribute some braised food to the villagers, so the banquet was scheduled to start at noon.

hour.

The sun is a bit strong at this point, but fortunately the people in the village don't mind.

Pot after pot of stewed meat was cooked, and the rich fragrance filled the Miaoqian Village... Those who received the invitation sat at the table early and waited to eat, and those in the village who did not receive the invitation also Standing nearby with a bowl.

Li Qingzhi said that he would give them some braised food! "It's time to eat!" Li Qingzhi had already prepared all the food and asked the helpers to bring it to the table.

Each table has braised pork, braised duck, braised chicken, braised dried beans, braised chicken, and a large bowl of pickled vegetables and boiled broad beans.

There were only six dishes in total, but no one thought the meal was not rich, so they all held their bowls and ate happily.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the people sitting at the same table were acquaintances, and some people had a large family and even sat at the same table as a family, everyone might have started to fight over it!

Those who came to the banquet filled their bowls with rice, and then ate it with braised food.

Grandma Jin and Aunt Jin ate without looking up, especially Grandma Jin, who specialized in the fatty meat.

Although they have a normal relationship with Jin Xiaoye, they are close relatives after all. Jin Xiaoye invited them. They have many family members and sit at more than one table.

"This braised food is so delicious."

"This is my first time eating something so delicious."

"Give me a little soup and I can eat two bowls of rice!"

…

Aunt Jin's daughter-in-law and grandchildren couldn't stop praising her.

Aunt Jin felt extremely uncomfortable. She felt even more at a disadvantage when she thought that Jin Liushu and Jin Moli could not come because they had to sell food.

Fortunately, the golden mulberry tree is here! It's not a big loss!

On the other side, Mr. and Mrs. Yao and their grandchildren sat at a table with Li Laogen. Also sitting at their table were Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Laosan and Zhao Xiaodou.

Zhao Laosan was originally going to work at the new dock, but he wanted to come over to help, so he didn't go. There was also Jin Dajiang who had taken leave like him. He was having dinner with Jin Xiaoshu and the others.

Zhao Laosan and his wife came, but Zhao Laosan's stepson and stepdaughter did not come. They had never come to the Li family's treat in the past, and they were too embarrassed to come this time.

At this moment, Li Laogen was bragging: "Is this braised food delicious? We often eat it at home!"

"My Ah Qing said that since I like it, he will make it for me more times in the future."

"My Ah Qing is the most filial to me!"

…

Zhao Laosan listened with a smile and picked up vegetables for Zhao Xiaodou from time to time.

Zhao Xiaodou ate with Li Qingzhi's family. If Li Laogen can eat delicious food, it means Zhao Xiaodou can also eat it... This is really great!

Mr. and Mrs. Yao also felt that the braised meat was very delicious. When they saw their grandchildren eating without raising their heads, they felt that their son was too stupid.

Such delicious food, but their son didn't come to eat it!

Yao Zhenfu, who didn't go to Li's house for dinner, actually regretted it now.

In the morning, Jin Moli cooked a pot of rice, which they were reluctant to throw away, so they had to eat it, so what he ate for lunch today was the burnt rice and some leftover vegetables given to him by Jin Moli.

Everyone else is eating braised meat, meat, chicken and duck, but what about him? He was eating burnt rice and a big pot of vegetables!

This is too miserable for him!

But he couldn't hide his face and went to Li's house... Should his parents bring him some braised food?

Everyone was eating, but Li Qingzhi and Jin Xiaoye were not seated.

They had already eaten some in advance and were now dividing the meat among the villagers who had not received the invitation.

They didn't give much to the villagers. Each family was given two pieces of dried tofu, two pieces of vegetarian chicken, and a small piece of meat.

But the people in the village are already very happy - there has never been such a thing before, Li Qingzhi and Jin Xiaoye are so generous!

When they were dividing things, Li Damao, Li Ermao and Chang Cui sat beside them with rice bowls and ate deliciously.

This meal lasted for a long time, and all the braised food on the table was eaten up. Not even the soup was left on the plate, and all the rice was eaten.

If Li Qingzhi hadn't deliberately cooked more food, even the rice dumplings might have been robbed.

Li Qing said: "Everyone, please sit at my house for a while. I'll make some braised food when it comes out. I'll serve some for you and add another dish in the evening."

"How embarrassing!"

"After eating so much, I don't even need to eat at night!"

"Yeah, I don't have to eat anymore."

…

That's what the villagers said, but looking at their eyes... there is no doubt that they hope Li Qingzhi can give them some food!

Li Qingzhi looked a little funny, then cut some meat and put it into the pot with dried tofu and vegetarian chicken.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this scene yesterday and asked Jin Xiaoye to prepare more dishes.

This braised food is really delicious. For this reason, he asked Jin Xiaoshu to make a trip and bring some food to County Magistrate Gou, Zhu Qian, Mrs. Xu and Sister Wang. He didn't know if they could eat it.

Mrs. Xu and Xu Qifei have already eaten.

Since Xu Qifei passed the county examination, his eldest brother has been much nicer to the mother and son. He went to Fucheng to take the prefecture examination, and his eldest brother gave him ten taels of silver.

After he passed the government examination, his elder brother gave him another ten taels of silver.

Jin Ye Embroidery Shop was closed today, so Mrs. Xu didn't have to go to work, so she bought some vegetables and planned to make more food and treat her eldest brother's family to a meal.

The eldest brother of the Xu family has not been very kind to Xu Qifei in recent years, but he is not bad either. The relationship between the two parties is not bad.

While Mrs. Xu was cooking, Jin Xiaoshu brought braised food. Half a braised duck, half a braised chicken, a piece of braised pork and some braised dried beans and braised chicken... There were four more dishes on their table.

Brother Xu and his family were full of praise after eating: "This braised food tastes really good! Where did you buy it?"

Xu Qifei said: "It was given by one of my classmates."

"Is this the young master of the Zhu family?" Brother Xu asked.

"No, it's Li Qingzhi."

"It turns out to be Li Qingzhi!" Brother Xu had heard about Li Qingzhi and had a better attitude towards Xu Qifei.

His younger brother is successful and knows so many people... He must have a good relationship with his younger brother so that his younger brother can support his children in the future.

Well, his children are about the same age as his younger brother. The ones his younger brother can support in the future should be his grandchildren.

Brother Xu, who was about the same age as Mrs. Xu, praised Xu Qifei with a smile on his face.

At Sister Wang's house, Sister Wang also praised the braised food.

Her two sons were away at school, and she and her daughter were the only ones at home, so she and her daughter killed half of the duck first.

After eating, she did not forget to tell her daughter: "Don't tell your brother that there is still duck. Just say that we haven't eaten either and we are waiting for them to come home to eat together in the evening."

Sister Wang's daughter smiled and nodded.

Sister Wang said to her daughter again: "I will take you shopping later and buy you some jewelry. I have agreed with Mrs. Xu that she will take Xu Qifei to the embroidery workshop tomorrow. Then you can go up and talk to him..."

Sister Wang is very concerned about her daughter's marriage, and she had considered Jin Xiaoshu before.

But didn't Jin Xiaoshu marry Fang Jinniang? She changed her target and fell in love with Mrs. Xu's son.

In fact, at first, Sister Wang looked down on Xu Qifei.

Xu Qifei had no fame at that time, and studying cost a lot of money... If her daughter married Xu Qifei, she would not be allowed to support Xu Qifei's education together with Mrs. Xu?

The most critical thing is that Mrs. Xu and Xu Qifei don't have a house yet and live in two small cabins in the backyard of Xu's family.

She doesn't want her daughter to suffer!

But Xu Qifei passed the county examination and still

She has a good relationship with Zhu Xunmiao and Li Qingzhi... Sister Wang was tempted and expressed this to Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu is very happy!

Sister Wang's daughter works with her every day. She is very hardworking and can even recognize a few words... In the county town, Sister Wang's daughter's conditions are already very good!

The two of them still know everything about it!

Mrs. Xu doesn't want to climb high. She's afraid that girls of higher birth will look down on her family, which will make it difficult to live a good life.

What a wonderful daughter Sister Wang has!

However, because Xu Qifei had to prepare for the imperial examination and even went directly to Fucheng, she did not mention it to Xu Qifei. It was not until Xu Qifei passed the imperial examination that she discussed with Sister Wang and planned to let the two of them meet.

Zhu family.

Li Qingzhi gave the Zhu family a chicken and a duck, as well as more braised pork and dried beans.

The Zhu family gave him gold and silver as gifts, so he couldn't give someone half a chicken and half a duck...

When Zhu Qian learned that Li Qingzhi had sent something over, he immediately went to take a look, and then smelled the enticing smell.

Zhu Qian had a hard life when he was young and didn't eat anything good. After he got rich, he paid great attention to his appetite and enjoyed all kinds of meat.

If not for this, he wouldn't be so fat!

Over the years, Zhu Qian had eaten a lot of good things, but he had never tasted such fragrant braised food... He took a piece of dried tofu and ate it, then tore up a chicken foot and ate it, and then let it go. The newly hired cook cut up the braised meat and gave some to his youngest son who was studying in school, and the rest was used to add vegetables.

With this in mind, Zhu Qian went to get another duck neck to chew on.

As for Magistrate Gou...

Magistrate Gou has been mentally and physically exhausted recently.

There is no other reason, the main reason is that his son is too good at making trouble.

Magistrate Gou was busy with the scientific examination, and he had not taken much care of his son before. He went to Beijing to take the exam, and came to Chongcheng County to be the county magistrate. He had not seen his son for a year or two.

In the blink of an eye, his son has turned thirteen and has grown a lot in height, not much shorter than him!

It's a good thing that the child is tall and big, but this child has a lot of problems!

Magistrate Gou's father was very strict with Magistrate Gou, but when it came to his grandson...he was just such a grandson, he just loved him!

Magistrate Gou found that the child would not eat this or that, he would make good use of everything, and he could not read well. He was so old, and his handwriting was very ugly.

At the beginning, Magistrate Gou was full of fatherly love and wanted to teach him patiently... But the child was half-hearted when studying and was unwilling to write big characters...

Magistrate Gou had to become more and more strict. When he failed to reprimand him, he even beat him with a ruler.

This has stirred up a hornet's nest!

The child was running all over the yard, shouting that he couldn't survive this life and wanted to jump into the river.

Magistrate Gou was dumbfounded.

Although he knew that his son was threatening him, he was also afraid that the child would do something stupid, so naturally he did not dare to force him anymore...

After that, that's it anyway - Magistrate Gou wants the child to study, but the child doesn't like reading and only plays. Magistrate Gou gets angry. When he gets angry, he scolds the child, and the child starts to make trouble.

Magistrate Gou felt that dealing with Zhang Yunquan was not as tiring as dealing with his own son.

He is so tired!

Magistrate Gou's family had an early meal. During the meal, Magistrate Gou saw the child picking out the food as soon as it was served. He couldn't help but say a few words. The child lost his temper again, threw his chopsticks and said he didn't want to eat. .

Magistrate Gou's wife could not control the child and took her two young daughters to eat in silence, while Magistrate Gou quarreled with her son.

While they were arguing, someone came in from outside, saying that Li Qingzhi had brought food.

Magistrate Gou opened the food box and smelled an alluring aroma.

Young Master Gou, who had originally planned to leave, stuck his head out and looked at the food box.

Seeing him like this, Magistrate Gou thought that he was still young, so he said, "This braised meat is very fragrant. I'll have someone cut it, and you can keep some to eat."

Young Master Gou didn't say anything. He sat down and picked up his chopsticks.

Even Magistrate Gou County praised this braised food, let alone the people in Miaoqian Village! Everyone kept praising Li Qingzhi's braised food and said it was delicious.

Praising and boasting...the rumors have changed for some reason. They say that if you go to Li's house and eat some braised meat made by Li Anshou, and then touch the articles written by Li Anshou, you will become smarter.

Chapter 123 Repaying kindness and revenge

This morning, some people from Miaoqian Village went to their relatives and friends in the village next door and asked them to bring their children to Li's house for "consecration."

These people did come. Li Qingzhi realized that he couldn't stop them, so he didn't stop them.

Then during the "consecration", they saw Li Qingzhi sharing the braised food with the people in Miaoqian Village, and learned that the braised food was made by Li Qingzhi.

The braised food made by the head of the government trial department smells so fragrant, who wouldn't want to try it? At that time, some people shamelessly went up and wanted to buy some.

Li Qingzhi didn't prepare many things, so he couldn't really sell braised food at his home, but Jin Xiaoye knew these people... He gave them a piece of dried tofu to taste.

These people fed the braised dried beans to their children and went back to their own villages to show off...I don't know what they said. Later, they decided to go to Li's house to "consecrate" and eat some braised food made by Li Qingzhi. Make children smarter.

The rumors are really outrageous! Li Qingzhi couldn't laugh or cry.

He realized that he could no longer stay in Miaoqian Village... After finishing the remaining materials and distributing them to relatives and friends, Li Qingzhi got on Jin Xiaoshu's boat and returned to the county town.

Going with them were also the female workers who didn't want to go home to live. They were not taking Jin Xiaoshu's boat, but Jin Mulangshu's boat.

These female workers are very happy now.

This time when they returned to Miaoqian Village, they were not only envied by the villagers, but also had a delicious meal!

"My parents looked at me and were dumbfounded!"

"I told my family about my life in the embroidery workshop. My brother was crying and making trouble, asking his parents why they didn't give him a daughter."

"My father wanted to marry me to Dazhu before, but his family was not happy. This time, he was stunned to see me!"

…

The girls were chattering.

The two ships were not far away, and Fang Jinniang could hear their voices, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

How happy and happy these girls are! It's a pity that her sister can't come out to work.

After Fang Jinniang got married to Jin Xiaoshu, she only went back twice.

The first time was when we first got married, and then it was during the Chinese New Year.

During the Chinese New Year, she didn't even talk to her mother, just put down her things and left.

However, although she did not go home, she still had contact with her sister Fang Xiuniang.

Fang Xiu Niang goes out to wash vegetables and clothes every day, so she can take time to talk to Fang Xiu Niang.

Before the county examination, Fang Xiu Niang's life was pretty good. She didn't know the reason at first, but later she found out that it was because Fang Zi recommended the money given by Hong Hui and took it home.

Her mother was happy when she saw Yinzi, and the other embroiderer's attitude improved.

But after the county examination...

Fang Zijian did not make a fuss after the county examination results were released, but when Yanzhi County investigated the case, Hong Hui confessed to him, saying that Li Qingzhi's manuscript, which was used as evidence, was stolen by Fang Zijian from his husband. from.

Yan Zhixian was not a good official, but his ideas were similar to those of most scholars of this era.

Yao Zhenfu was misled by some previous events and thought that Li Qingzhi was not knowledgeable, so he questioned the unfairness of the county examination after the county examination. This was nothing.

There were actually many people who questioned Li Qingzhi at that time.

But Fang Zijian stole something from his husband, which was too much!

After Fang Zijian suspected that Li Qingzhi was not knowledgeable, he could have asked his husband for confirmation. In fact, many people in Li Xiucai's school knew that Li Qingzhi was actually very knowledgeable...

The results of it? Not only did he not ask for evidence, he also stole things... Magistrate Yan felt that there was something wrong with his character, so he invalidated his county examination results and even slapped him.

Speaking of which, Sun Juren's student also had his county examination results invalidated... County Magistrate Yan gave him many punishments, not because he questioned Li Qingzhi, but because he spoke ill of Magistrate Gou.

I am disrespectful to my husband and the county magistrate, this is a big problem!

In short, when Li Qingzhi followed Magistrate Gou to Linhu County, Fang Zijian had a very difficult time.

Fortunately, Fang's mother really loved him... She used all her belongings to atone for Fang Zi's sin.

Fang Zijian was not beaten and returned home safely, but after that, his life plummeted.

The first is Li Xiucai.

Li Xiucai and Sun Juren were actually a bit contradictory. He was born in an ordinary family and was once suppressed and bullied by Sun Juren's students.

Now, even if his students have contact with Sun Juren's students, they still listen to the other party and steal things from him!

After Li Xiucai learned about Fang Jinniang's experience, he already had objections to Fang Zijian, and now something like this happened again...

He refused to allow Fang Zi to recommend him to study in his school.

Forget it, someone else told Fang Zijian that after something like this happened to him, unless his knowledge was too outstanding or his reputation was far-reaching, let alone Gou County Magistrate, even if Chongcheng County changed to another magistrate, it would not matter. He will be asked to pass the county examination.

There is no shortage of scholars in Chongcheng County!

It can be said that Fang Zijian's path to the imperial examination has been cut off.

In order to prevent Fang Zijian from being beaten, the Fang family spent all their money!

Fang Zijian's future was gloomy, and Fang Xiuniang's life became difficult.

Mother Fang not only punished her for her work, but also vented her anger on her.

Although Fang Zijian used to say some good things to his two sisters to listen to their mother, he usually would not deliberately target his two sisters.

It was different now. He was in a bad mood, so he deliberately said something to arouse Fang's mother's anger, causing her to beat and scold Fang Xiu Niang.

Fang Xiuniang did not complain to Fang Jinniang, but Fang Jinniang knew the neighbors of the Fang family, and those people would tell her about the Fang family's affairs.

Fang Jinniang wanted to help Fang Xiuniang get rid of the Fang family, so she found several suitable men for Fang Xiuniang, and wanted Fang Xiuniang to find someone to marry, but Fang Xiuniang was unwilling.

After Jin Xiaoshu sent Li Qingzhi and his wife to Jinye Embroidery Workshop, he took Fang Jinniang to find Fang Xiuniang.

Fang Jinniang came here this time because she wanted to meet Fang Xiuniang and give Fang Xiuniang some braised food made by Li Qingzhi.

Before cooking, Fang Xiu Niang would go to the river to wash rice and wash vegetables.

Fang Jinniang waited for her by the river and greeted her with a smile: "Xiu Niang!"

"Sister." Fang Xiu Niang smiled at Fang Jin Niang.

Fang Jinniang handed an oil paper bag to her sister: "Eat quickly, and then go back after eating. This stuff has a strong taste, so it's hard to take it back."

Fang Xiu Niang opened the oil paper bag and found a braised duck leg and a braised duck gizzard inside.

She picked up the duck leg and took a bite, her eyes narrowed - this duck leg is so delicious!

And duck gizzards... She likes to eat duck gizzards the most, and her sister understands her.

"Xiu Niang, how have you been lately?" Fang Jin

Mother asked.

Fang Xiu Niang said: "Sister, you don't have to worry about me, I just get scolded a few times by my mother... She is pointing at me to make money, she won't do anything to me."

Fang Xiu Niang was not having a good time these days. Her mother gave her a lot of work, and she was asked to do all the work at home. She was so busy that she felt relieved when she came out to wash rice and wash vegetables.

What disgusted her the most was that her mother and her brother were scolding people at home all day long.

During this period, in addition to scolding her, Fang's mother also used various vicious words to insult Fang Jinniang, Li Qingzhi and the others. If Li Qingzhi hadn't known Magistrate Gou, her mother would have definitely gone to Jinye Embroidery Workshop to cause trouble.

"Xiu Niang, think of a way to leave..." Fang Jinniang said.

Fang Xiu Niang said: "Sister, I don't want to leave."

Of course she wanted to leave, but she was afraid that Fang's mother would break the rules after she left and accuse her and Fang Jinniang of being unfilial.

The Fang family now relies on her to earn money!

Fang Xiu Niang was actually thinking about how to leave this home.

After much thought, she felt that as long as she was alive, she would never be able to get rid of her mother.

Who told her to be her mother?

The two sisters talked for a while, and Fang Jinniang had no choice but to leave.

the other side…

People from nearby villages came to Miaoqian Village specially, but Li Qingzhi was already gone!

The braised flavor is gone, and Li Qingzhi's article has not been left.

After they walked around Li's house, they first touched the door handle of Li's house, then put their hands on the child's forehead, and whispered: "Jie Cai Qi, Jie Cai Qi."

In rural areas, there is a saying about something, and it is easy to spread.

Maybe everyone has heard that it costs money, such as wearing red clothes in the year of one's life... Even if the villagers knew it, they would not follow it because they have no money.

But they are still very willing to do this kind of thing that does not cost money.

These people took turns touching the door of Li's house, and then touching themselves or their children's foreheads.

After that, some people still went to the temple to the north of Miaoqian Village to worship.

When the people in Miaoqian Village saw this, they were extremely proud.

Li Qingzhi came out of their Miaoqian Village, he was so respectable! That's it...why don't you sell Li Qingzhi's braised food? They want to buy more to eat at home.

There were also people who almost quarreled because of the bit of braised food that Li Qingzhi gave. After all, it was uneven distribution, or the daughter-in-law took the braised food back to her parents' house.

But even if there is noisy, the people in Miaoqian Village are still happy.

On the other hand, people in Linhu County were not very happy.

The people of Linhu County did not know exactly what Magistrate Yan and the Lou family did before, but now they understand the situation after listening to Magistrate Zhang's trial of the case.

"It turns out that the food tax allocated by the imperial court is so small!"

"The Lou family has always helped collect the grain tax at my home. They collect more and more every year... I thought the court wanted more."

"They used to charge so much grain tax. After I paid it, I had no money to eat, so I had to borrow money from the Lou family. Later, when I couldn't pay back the money, I gave the land to them. Now I have no land!"

"The gambling shop in the county town is also run by the Lou family!" "Then the Li family was so miserable by the Lou family, just because Mr. Lou fell in love with Miss Li, but Mr. Li didn't want to give Miss Li to Mr. Lou as his concubine... "

"Master Lou is much older than Master Li, and he can be Miss Li's grandfather. Why is he so embarrassed to ask Miss Li to be his concubine?"

"The Chang family is even worse. Let me just say that the Chang family restaurant has been open for so many years and so many people have gone to eat. It has always been fine. How come it suddenly ate people to death?"

... People in Linhu County were talking a lot, and every time Magistrate Zhang killed someone, they would cheer.

Not only that, more and more victims are coming out to complain, suing the Lou family or people related to the Lou family.

When Magistrate Gou was in Linhu County, these people actually thought about filing a complaint with Magistrate Gou.

But they had no chance to come before Magistrate Gou!

It wasn't until Magistrate Zhang appeared that they finally succeeded in suing, and they couldn't help crying with joy.

The commander of the Xiang Army was numb when he saw this scene.

Magistrate Zhang killed so many people, so he wasn't afraid of being blamed by the court?

Wait, think about it the other way around... If Zhang Zhifu dares to kill people like this, if he dares to kill most of the people from the old princess's natal family in the Jin Palace, he must have someone to rely on.

It seems that the Holy One really gave him a secret decree!

He is worthy of being magistrate Zhang, being entrusted with such an important task by the Holy Emperor.

He is different. His Majesty probably doesn't even know he is such a person.

Those in charge of executions in the Xiang Army had cut off too many heads with their knives and their heads were blunt, so they had to find someone to help sharpen the knives. Magistrate Zhang did not mind it and continued the interrogation amidst the sound of sharpening the knives.

Those who were suppressed and had not yet been interrogated could not bear it anymore. They all burst into tears and peed their pants.

But the officers and soldiers of the Xiang Army were very experienced... They took these people to wash in the river, and then made them kneel and continue to listen to the interrogation.

Speaking of which... the guards and stewards of the quarry were killed by Magistrate Zhang yesterday. Magistrate Zhang also copied hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the quarry.

Part of this money is money from the quarry that has not yet been sent to King Jin, and part of it is money earned by the stewards and guards while helping King Jin.

In recent years, the rich people in Daqi have become richer and richer. After they get rich, they start to compete with each other, comparing whose carriage is more luxurious and whose house is more magnificent.

As a result, the price of Lihu stones has been extremely high, with some stones in good condition even selling for tens of thousands of taels...

Chang Duan and Chang Zhan had been watching the interrogation with excitement.

As for the rescued workers... some of them went home, some went to the hospital, and the rest watched with them, crying while watching.

During the interrogation, Chang Duan asked them: "What are your plans next?"

These people spoke one after another: "Brother Chang, I was sold here from a very far away place. I don't even know where my home is anymore. Can I follow you?"

"Brother Chang, there is no one at home anymore, I want to follow you."

"Me too, I want to follow you too."

"Brother Chang, I will repay you by being a cow or a horse."

…

There are about thirty workers who want to follow Chang Duan. They don't know where they can go, and Chang Duan is their savior... Only by following Chang Duan can they find a place.

You know, Magistrate Zhang not only returned the Chang family's restaurant and house to Chang Duan, but also gave him a sum of money - the Lou family had robbed a lot of money and things from the Chang family.

"Brother Chang, I don't want wages, you just need to give me food...let me follow you."

"Me too."

"Me too."

…

Chang Duan said: "I don't plan to stay in Linhu County. I want to go to Chongcheng County. Are you willing to come with me?"

Although he and Chang Zhan are rich now, they still want to go to Li Qingzhi to repay Li Qingzhi.

They also planned to give all their money to Li Qingzhi.

They were really grateful to Li Qingzhi.

If it weren't for Li Qingzhi, Chang Zhan would have been impulsive to assassinate Magistrate Yan, and he would have died!

Besides...if Li Qingzhi hadn't reminded Zhang Zhifu and told Zhang Zhifu about the quarry, he would have died.

If that were to happen...if their lives were lost, where would the money come from?

Another thing is... they want revenge.

In the eyes of many people, their revenge has been avenged. After all, the Lou family and Magistrate Yan have all been brought to justice.

But why are the Lou family and Yan County Magistrate so arrogant? This is all because of King Jin!

King Jin is very powerful, but they still want to try to see if they can get revenge.

Chang Duan felt that Li Qingzhi should also have such thoughts.

How smart and powerful is Li Qingzhi? He couldn't stop caring just because the quarry was gone.

The workers spoke one after another: "Brother Chang, no matter where you go, we will follow you."

"Okay, then when things here are over, we will go to Chongcheng County." Chang Duan said.

He actually thought about following Magistrate Zhang.

Magistrate Zhang was also very kind to them, no less kind than Li Qingzhi.

So at first, he wanted Chang Zhan to follow Li Qingzhi, marry and have children in Chongcheng County, while he wanted to follow Magistrate Zhang.

Even if Magistrate Zhang might die, he could die with Magistrate Zhang.

But Magistrate Zhang was unwilling... After thinking about it, he planned to go to Chongcheng County with Chang Zhan and try to avenge Magistrate Zhang in the future.

The two brothers talked to the workers for a while, then continued watching the interrogation.

It's great that these evil people are dead!

It's Magistrate Zhang…

The commander of the Xiang Army thought that Magistrate Zhang had a secret edict from the Holy Emperor, so he dared to act so boldly, but Chang Zhan knew very well that Magistrate Zhang had no secret edict at all.

This old man blocked his future and life to redress their grievances.

"Brother, we must take revenge in the future." Chang Zhan said. He had been with Magistrate Zhang for a while and had a good impression of Magistrate Zhang.

"Definitely." Chang Duan said firmly.

Chapter 124 Method

Linhu County is bleeding like a river. This matter will not spread to the capital in a short time, but in Hexing Mansion, it spread as quickly as possible.

Magistrate Gou liked the braised meat served by Li Qingzhi very much.

This braised food was really delicious. Not only did he have a huge appetite, even his son, who had always disliked Chongcheng County and found the food here unpalatable, ate a lot of it.

Magistrate Gou planned to find someone to ask Li Qingzhi where the braised food came from.

He has eaten all kinds of food in the county, but he has never tasted such delicious braised food.

However, before Magistrate Gou found anyone to ask, someone suddenly came in and said to him: "Sir, something big happened in Linhu County!"

"What happened in Linhu County?" Magistrate Gou asked while picking his teeth with a bamboo stick.

The man said: "Prefect Zhang beheaded County Magistrate Yan."

"What?" Magistrate Gou was startled.

Magistrate Gou had been in contact with Magistrate Yan and had a good impression of Magistrate Yan. He also planned to find an opportunity to go to Magistrate Yan to show off the calligraphy gift given to him by Magistrate Zhang.

But now... what did he hear?

The servant said: "Sir, some people came from Linhu County and said that Magistrate Zhang had beheaded County Magistrate Yan..."

"What on earth is going on?" Magistrate Gou asked.

The servant brought a man, who was originally Magistrate Yan's boatman. He had met Magistrate Gou. After Magistrate Yan's accident, he was very scared and ran to Chongcheng County.

Under the questioning of Magistrate Gou, he tremblingly explained the reason.

Only then did Magistrate Gou know that Magistrate Yan had colluded with the Lou family to embezzle a lot of money, and the tea gardens in Linhu County were not affected by the disaster.

The tea gardens he saw did not belong to the Lou family, but those good tea gardens were all under the Lou family's name.

The Lou family also occupies most of the land in Linhu County but does not pay grain taxes.

Of course, Magistrate Yan also did some other evil things, but he was not a good person anyway.

"He turned out to be such a person. I never noticed it before... Wait!" Magistrate Gou suddenly remembered something - Magistrate Zhang had asked him to go to Linhu County to investigate the damage to the tea gardens.

He always thought that he had done a good job in this matter, after all, Magistrate Zhang later gave him a calligraphy treasure.

But looking back now... Magistrate Yan committed numerous crimes in Linhu County, but he didn't notice at all!

He even told Magistrate Zhang that the tea garden was really affected by the disaster!

What would Magistrate Zhang think of him? Do you think he is useless and knows nothing?

Magistrate Gou's heart suddenly went cold.

What worries him even more is that the things that happened in Linhu County are also happening in Chongcheng County, but they are not as serious as Linhu County. For example, some families do not pay food taxes.

After Zhang Yunquan's fall, he dealt with some people, but he did not deal with them completely - some people took the initiative to turn to him, and he could not not give them any benefits.

Now that Magistrate Zhang has killed County Magistrate Yan, will he also come to investigate him?

No, Magistrate Zhang is a magistrate, how dare he kill the county magistrate?

Magistrate Gou was so panicked that he wanted to clean up Chongcheng County immediately.

Magistrate Gou sent people to Linhu County to investigate the situation and called local squires and big businessmen like Zhu Qian from Chongcheng County.

If such a big thing happened, they would definitely have to discuss it.

When Magistrate Gou knew what was going on in Linhu County, those people he called here also already knew about it.

Linhu County is not far away, and some businessmen in Chongcheng County also have shops in Linhu County.

They also have some relatives and friends in Linhu County!

When something like this happened, someone from Linhu County naturally came over in a hurry to inform them of the incident.

They thought it was fake at first, but then they talked to other people...it turned out to be real!

These people were shocked and confused, and then Magistrate Gou sent people to find them. They immediately went to Magistrate Gou, and the group began to study what happened in Linhu County.

That afternoon, they received some news from Linhu County one after another. After dark, the people sent by County Magistrate Gou to Linhu County also brought back the specific situation in Linhu County.

Magistrate Zhang held a public trial in Linhu County and killed dozens of people in one go. Half of these dozens of people were named Lou and were relatives of the King of Jin.

Magistrate Gou's legs were weak.

That's King Jin!

Before he came to Chongcheng County to be an official, he visited some people. At that time, they all felt that the one who would sit on the throne in the future would be King Jin.

After the old King Jin died suddenly, although the current emperor dealt with the people of King Jin's lineage, he did not clean them up. Later, the emperor never had a son...

Almost more than a third of the people in the court fell to King Jin!

Although Lu Qingxi, the great eunuch, was in the limelight and had gathered a group of people, those who were willing to follow the eunuch... were not very good anyway.

If His Majesty had not given Lu Qingxi a lot of power, Lu Qingxi would not have been able to compete equally with the King of Jin.

In fact, because His Majesty gave Lu Qingxi too many privileges, some ministers in the court who had no interest in King Jin began to contact King Jin...

Magistrate Gou had discussed it with others and felt that His Majesty might choose someone from distant relatives in the clan to adopt his name, but how could a person who had not received imperial education be able to compete with the King of Jin?

What Magistrate Zhang is doing now can be said to have completely offended King Jin. Will he have a good ending?

Magistrate Gou thought a lot, but he was most worried about himself.

The squires in Chongcheng County were noisy and couldn't give him a good idea... Magistrate Gou didn't want to waste time with them. After turning around and leaving, he wanted to call Li Qingzhi to get an idea.

Wait, it's a bit slow to call Li Qingzhi... Magistrate Gou thought for a while, and simply left the county office and took a boat to find Li Qingzhi.

As soon as he got on the boat, his son Gou Ying appeared out of nowhere: "Where are you going? Are you going to have a secret meeting with your lover?"

"You brat, what nonsense are you talking about!" Magistrate Gou said angrily.

Gou Ying snorted coldly: "You know if I'm talking nonsense!"

Magistrate Gou ignored his son and planned to leave immediately, but Gou Ying rushed up: "I want to go too!"

Gou Ying had no good impression of Magistrate Gou as her father.

He had been raised by his grandparents since he was a child.

Even his mother didn't take much care of him because she gave birth to his sister within two years of giving birth to him, let alone his father!

His grandparents were very kind to him, and he wanted to stay with them all the time. But after his father became the county magistrate in Chongcheng County, he actually asked him to come to Chongcheng County!

He suffered a lot along the way, so he's here

...It's hot and stuffy here, there are a lot of mosquitoes, and the food tastes terrible... He's not used to it!

His father even disliked him and scolded him and beat him!

Gou Ying didn't like anything she saw. When she saw her father hurriedly going out tonight, she wondered if her father might have someone outside.

If his father has someone outside, can he convince his mother to go home? He missed his grandmother!

Gou Ying rushed to get on the boat, but Magistrate Gou had no choice but to let him on, but he couldn't help but scold him with a face.

Gou Ying was furious. If he hadn't been thinking about finding ways to use his father, he would have quarreled with his father long ago!

Gou Ying did not refute, and Magistrate Gou stopped training after a few words, but continued to worry about her life.

Not long after, the boat stopped at the back door of Jinye Embroidery Studio.

Li Qingzhi is not asleep yet.

He also knew what happened in Linhu County. Not long after he returned to the embroidery workshop in the afternoon, Zhu Qian sent someone to tell him about it.

After Li Qingzhi learned about this, he felt very complicated.

I don't know what Magistrate Zhang will face after doing this.

But now, he can't do anything.

After dark, Li Qingzhi went to the three children's rooms as usual and told them stories to coax them to sleep. But after they fell asleep, he did not sleep. Instead, he went to the study room and took a piece of white paper to practice. The word meditation.

Neither he nor the original owner knew much about what was going on in the court. The official he knew was Magistrate Zhang of Gou County... He could not help Magistrate Zhang.

While practicing calligraphy, there was a sudden knock on the door, and immediately after, Li Qingzhi heard the voice of Magistrate Gou: "Li Qingzhi! Li Qingzhi!"

Gou Ying followed her father and carefully got off the boat.

He doesn't like taking boats. He feels dizzy and vomiting when he takes a boat.

So he really hates Chongcheng County!

His father's sweetheart is called Li Qingzhi? I don't know what kind of person that is!

Gou Ying stared at the door in front of her, and then she saw a lean man opening the door: "Master Gou, why are you here?"

"Li Qingzhi, do you know what happened in Linhu County? Isn't that relative of yours with Magistrate Zhang? Has he sent back any news?" Magistrate Gou asked Li Qingzhi anxiously: "You said now, I What should I do?"

Li Qingzhi asked Magistrate Gou to come in and take a seat in his dining room.

There was only an Eight Immortals table in this room, so he asked Magistrate Gou to sit at the table, and Gou Ying, who came with Magistrate Gou, also sat down.

Gou Ying was a little embarrassed now. He thought his father was having a secret meeting with his lover when he came out late at night. But... did his father have something serious?

But the next second, his embarrassment disappeared - Magistrate Gou looked at Gou Ying and reprimanded: "What are you doing here, kid? Go out and play."

Gou Ying's expression changed immediately. He had grown up! And what can he do outside at night? There are still mosquitoes outside!

When Li Qingzhi saw Gou Ying, he knew that this was Magistrate Gou's thirteen-year-old child.

Thirteen is not young, and what they want to say is not confidential: "My lord, let him stay here."

Magistrate Gou was afraid of scaring his son: "He is still young."

"You're not young anymore. You'll be able to take the imperial examination in a few years."

Magistrate Gou frowned: "How can this brat pass the exam..."

Li Qingzhi noticed that Gou Ying's expression was wrong and interrupted Magistrate Gou: "Sir, I already know what happened in Linhu County. You look a little flustered. What are you afraid of?"

Magistrate Gou said: "Prefect Zhang directly killed Magistrate Yan. Will he also be dissatisfied with me?"

Li Qing insisted: "Don't worry about this, sir. You are a good official. The prefect will not do anything to you."

"Maybe..." He is not an honest and upright official! He has collected money!

"Sir, from what I can see, Magistrate Zhang is very satisfied with you, but if you are uneasy, you can do something."

"What can I do?" Magistrate Gou asked.

Li Qing said: "While Magistrate Zhang is investigating the matter of County Magistrate Yan, you can measure the fields in Chongcheng County and let the wealthy households in the city pay the grain tax truthfully..." This year's grain tax has not been confiscated, so Magistrate Gou really wants to do this. Well... after the wealthy households pay the full amount of grain tax, the people of Chongcheng County will be able to pay less grain tax!

Their life will be much easier.

Li Qingzhi's voice was very calm, and Magistrate Gou calmed down unconsciously, and he began to discuss with Li Qingzhi what he should do next to make himself safer.

Li Qingzhi also learned about the specific situation of Linhu County from Magistrate Gou.

Magistrate Zhang was more ruthless than he imagined and killed more people!

Magistrate Zhang was afraid that he would risk his life.

"I didn't expect that person named Yan to be so crazy!" After Magistrate Gou calmed down, he began to scold Magistrate Yan, feeling that Magistrate Yan was going too far.

Ordinary people really can't do things like Yan County Magistrate.

Li Qing said: "Sir, I will go to Linhu County tomorrow to explore the situation. As for you, you don't have to worry. Just have a clear conscience."

"Okay." Magistrate Gou was a little touched. Li Qingzhi wanted to go to Linhu County at this time, it must be for him!

Li Qingzhi didn't know what Magistrate Gou was thinking. After learning about the specific situation in Linhu County, he had an idea.

Maybe he can give Magistrate Zhang a little help.

It was getting late, so Li Qingzhi got up and sent Magistrate Gou away. He also gave Gou Ying a basket filled with books and whispered: "Master Gou, these are some story books. You can read them when you have nothing to do. "

The young master of the Gou family is said to be quite noisy, and I hope he will not cause any trouble to Magistrate Gou.

Gou Ying was unhappy when he saw the book in the basket, but he didn't expect Li Qingzhi to say it was a storybook... He immediately held the basket in his arms.

"What is this?" Magistrate Gou asked.

Li Qingzhi smiled and said, "I gave him a few books."

Magistrate Gou said: "He doesn't know how to read, he just knows how to play!"

Li Qingzhi: "..." Magistrate Gou said that his son was not good, so let it go, but he actually said it in front of others...

Magistrate Gou and his son have not seen each other for a long time, and the relationship between the two parties is not good. If they still talk about their children all day long, isn't it pushing their own children away?

If he had caught Li Damao and Li Ermao and scolded him when he first crossed over, these two children would definitely not be close to his father.

However, Magistrate Gou will be very busy next and probably won't have time to bother his son.

And the book he gave to Gou Ying...it was actually the story of Magistrate Gou written by him. After reading it, Gou Ying should have a good impression of Magistrate Gou.

After sending the father and son away, Jin Xiaoye came down: "Is Magistrate Gou leaving?"

"Yes." Li Qing insisted.

Jin Xiaoye said: "Aqing, go to bed."

Li Qingzhi refused: "Xiaoye, you go to bed first. I have to go to bed late today and have something to do."

Li Qingzhi asked Jin Xiaoye to go to bed, while he took out a piece of white paper and wrote the title "Record of Injustice" on it.

Then, he began to write the main text: "I traveled to Linhu County and saw that the people were struggling to make a living without supporting the people, so I looked around and saw countless injustices... This book was dictated by the people, and I wrote it down on paper..."

Li Qingzhi wrote a string of words, probably about a person who came to Linhu County, found many people, and wrote down their grievances.

As for the rest, he plans to write about the unjust cases one after another in the tone of ordinary people!

Li Qingzhi had thought before that he would write down what Magistrate Yan and the Lou family had done and spread it out.

But he didn't dare to write it, for fear that someone would see that it was him who wrote it.

Now that I think about it, couldn't he just change his style?

He could write this book in the first person and in the tone of common people!

By then, everyone must have thought that someone really asked the people and learned these things from their mouths, but they would not associate the book with him!

As for how he will help Magistrate Zhang after writing this book...

It's not like King Jin has no enemies in his court!

Today he was chatting with Magistrate Gou and found out that Lu Qingxi had been going against King Jin.

The feud between the two is irresolvable. If King Jin really wants to ascend to the throne, the first thing he must do is to kill Lu Qingxi.

If Lu Qingxi sees this book, he will probably take action!

It will take time for Magistrate Zhang to kill County Magistrate Yan to reach the capital. It will also take time for the capital to send people to find out what happened. People like Magistrate Zhang will generally be taken to the capital for interrogation... There will definitely be some interrogation. Spend a lot of time.

During this period of time, even if Lu Qingxi did nothing, he might think of a way to make this book spread in Beijing! It's just... printing books requires money, and right now... he has no money!

Of course, whether you have money or not, write it first and then talk about it!

Li Qingzhi did not write about the affairs of the Chang family, but chose the experience of a person the original owner met in the quarry, and began to write in that person's tone.

He knew Zhang Zhi

He knows nothing about today's interrogation, but what he knows now is enough for him to write several articles.

He used the first person and was able to write this story very miserably!

Li Qingzhi was seriously hurt when he read some pure literary works in his previous life, but now he plans to hurt others.

He doesn't just write cool articles either.

Li Qing used his left hand, which was faster at writing, and started writing quickly...

Chapter 125 "The Record of Injustice"

With his superpower, Li Qingzhi could go without sleep or rest for a short period of time.

When he was not in good health at first, he prioritized taking care of his health, but now his health is much better.

A few nights without sleep meant nothing to him.

That night, Li Qingzhi lit an oil lamp and wrote all night.

He didn't write this book very fast. He could write about three thousand words in one hour. This night, he wrote twelve thousand words in one breath.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, Li Qingzhi refilled the oil lamp, hid the manuscript he had written, then turned off the lamp and lay down on the couch next to him.

This couch was given to Chang Cui to sleep on some time ago, but now Chang Cui sleeps on Li Damao's bed, and Li Damao and Li Ermao sleep on Li Ermao's bed together. This couch was placed in the study by Li Qingzhi for him to sleep on when he is tired. Time to rest.

Li Qingzhi did not fall asleep after lying down, but used his powers to adjust his physical condition... Not long after, Jin Xiaoye came in quietly.

Jin Xiaoye didn't realize that Li Qingzhi hadn't come back to sleep all night until she woke up in the morning. She was relieved when she entered the study and saw Li Qingzhi sleeping soundly.

At this time, Li Qingzhi opened his eyes in time.

"Xiaoye..." Li Qingzhi called out, looked around blankly, and then said: "I didn't go back to the bedroom last night? I was a little tired so I lay on the bed for a while, but I accidentally fell asleep. "

He didn't want Jin Xiaoye to worry, so he pretended to sleep in the study all night.

"How can I sleep on this couch as comfortable as a bed? I'd better not sleep here again." Jin Xiaoye said.

"There will definitely be no next time! I suffered a lot last night and couldn't sleep with you in my arms." Li Qingzhi hugged Jin Xiaoye and kissed her.

The two were intimate for a while. Jin Xiaoye went downstairs to prepare breakfast, while Li Qingzhi went to the three children.

He woke up Li Damao and Li Ermao and told him that he was going to Linhu County.

He had to leave again just two days after he came back from Fucheng... Li Qingzhi felt a little guilty, Li Damao and Li Ermao were also sad: "Dad, can you not go?"

"Dad, I want to go with you."

…

Normally, Li Qingzhi wouldn't mind taking his children with him, but this time he has a lot to do... "Be good, big and small, I'll be back tomorrow."

After coaxing Li Damao and Li Ermao, Li Qingzhi took them to have breakfast. Breakfast was still white rice porridge and boiled eggs. While they were eating breakfast, Jin Xiaoshu and Jin Mulberry arrived with a group of girls.

Jin Xiaoshu used a boat to take these girls back to Miaoqian Village, but this time... because the parents of these girls prepared a lot of things for them, and they couldn't fit in one boat.

Fortunately, there are two boats in their village.

Jin Sangshu is a quick-thinking person. He knows that Li Qingzhi has a bright future and he should have a good relationship with Li Qingzhi and Jin Xiaoye.

He didn't say anything flattering, but left after delivering the person without asking for money from Jin Xiaoye.

Li Qingzhi was not familiar with these girls. After all, he went out often after these people came to the embroidery workshop.

After simply eating something and talking to Jin Xiaoye, Li Qingzhi went out carrying a large bookcase and a small bookcase.

Magistrate Gou asked him to go to the county government office first. When Li Qingzhi arrived, he discovered that Zhu Qian was also there.

"My dear nephew, I will go to Linhu County with you to have a look." Zhu Qian said to Li Qing.

"That's great. With Uncle Zhu here, this trip will go smoothly." Li Qingzhi said with a smile.

Zhu Qian also went. The boat they took was very luxurious, and there were tea and snacks on the boat.

Along the way, Zhu Qian was worried: "I don't know if something will happen to Magistrate Zhang. If something happens to Magistrate Zhang, I don't know what kind of magistrate will come..."

Zhu Qian really likes Magistrate Zhang and never asks them for money. As long as they obey the rules when doing business, they don't have to worry about anything.

If someone comes who loves to search for money, or likes to mess around, who knows what they will do to Hexing Mansion!

Li Qingzhi made himself a cup of chrysanthemum tea, and after taking a sip, he chatted with Zhu Qian about court affairs.

Zhu Qian is just a businessman and doesn't know much, but he may know some information that he doesn't know.

The two had a good chat, and at the same time, Linhu County was also close at hand.

Li Qingzhi really hates King Jin because the original owner died in the quarry, and also because... the original owner's family was raided and beheaded, which may have something to do with King Jin.

The original owner's father was killed on the charge of embezzling disaster relief money, but he knew very well that the original owner's father did not do this.

The original owner's father was just a poor county magistrate with no background and only a reputation as a civil servant. He was so busy at the time that he was so busy... It may be true that he was greedy for ten taels, but it was said that he was greedy for one hundred thousand taels... Where did he come from? courage?

Since the original owner's father was not greedy, then... where did the money go?

Li Qingzhi talked about this matter with Zhu Qian, and after hearing some things from Zhu Qian's mouth, he realized that the money was never recovered, and the matter ended up being settled.

Although Lu Qingxi was favored by the emperor, the officials in the court did not like this eunuch who approved memorials on the emperor's behalf, eliminated dissidents in the court, and amassed money in the capital. Magistrate Zhang once had a conflict with Lu Qingxi.

If Lu Qingxi was greedy for this money, the officials in the DPRK and China would definitely work hard to find evidence. Even if they couldn't pull him down, they would definitely make it known to everyone.

But no one said that Lu Qingxi was corrupt. It is said that Lu Qingxi also mobilized some food to send to the disaster area - his hometown is near Yu County.

Since Lu Qingxi didn't take the money, who did?

Is it possible that he is King Jin? If it was really King Jin, then King Jin not only killed the original owner, but also killed the original owner's entire family!

When the two arrived in Linhu County, Magistrate Zhang was still trying the case.

There are too many prisoners and the trials were not completed yesterday.

However, Magistrate Zhang did not kill all the people who were being interrogated today. Most of them were just beaten up and put into prison.

Their sins do not lead to death.

The county government office was crowded with people, and Li Qingzhi and Zhu Qian could not squeeze in front... Zhu Qian was worried, and Li Qingzhi found a Xiangjun who was maintaining order: "Master Jun, I am the magistrate of Gou County, Chongcheng County. Master, I have something to ask you to see Magistrate Zhang."

The soldier glanced at Li Qingzhi and said, "I'm going to ask Magistrate Zhang."

After asking Magistrate Zhang, he took Li Qingzhi to the county government office: "Prefect Zhang won't be free until noon. You wait here."

"Okay." Li Qingzhi agreed with a smile.

On the other side, Zhu Qian was dumbfounded.

Li Qing made up a lie and went to see Magistrate Zhang, but left him where he was...

He could actually go with Li Qingzhi, but Li Qingzhi asked him to inquire about the news outside... Forget it, he would just inquire outside.

Now, he actually doesn't dare to meet the murderer Zhang Zhifu.

Li Qingzhi and Zhu Qian are both very busy, and Jin Xiaoye in Chongcheng County is also very busy.

The main reason is... I don't know why, but the rumors of Miaoqian Village spread to the county town, so people from all over the neighborhood came to her, wanting to get a share of Li Qingzhi's talents.

Jin Xiaoye: "..."

Jin Xiaoye was helpless and could only take out some of Li Qingzhi's previous manuscripts and show them to the neighbors.

She also had to ask the female workers to boil water to entertain the neighbors.

"Where did you get the news?" Jin Xiaoye asked curiously.

An aunt next door said directly: "Your father-in-law said that!"

Jin Xiaoye: "..." It turns out to be Li Laogen! He must have gone to the teahouse to brag!

Jin Xiaoye was speechless when Sister Wang came with her daughter.

Normally, Sister Wang would have arrived a long time ago, but today her daughter had to meet Xu Qifei and needed to dress up, so she arrived a little late.

When they arrived, Mrs. Xu had already brought Xu Qifei over.

Xu Qifei knew about the meeting and was very excited when he came.

However, when he arrived at Jinye Embroidery Shop and learned that the girl hadn't come yet, and saw Jin Xiaoye taking out many articles written by Li Qing, he went over to read them.

At this sight, Xu Qifei was fascinated.

Li Qingzhi wrote a lot of articles when he went out with Magistrate Gou. Jin Xiaoye took out those articles. For Xu Qifei, this was something he couldn't write!

He looked at it carefully and asked Jin Xiaoye if he could come and copy it tomorrow.

Jin Xiaoye agreed immediately.

Li Qingzhi is concerned about these

He didn't pay much attention to the article. After he finished writing it, he threw it aside. Xu Qifei could copy it whenever he wanted!

Li Qingzhi definitely doesn't mind.

"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Jin." Xu Qifei bowed happily and went back to reading the article without looking at the people around him.

Sister Wang and Sister Wang's daughter: "…"

Mrs. Xu still couldn't stand it, so she stepped forward and, using the cover of her sleeves, pinched a piece of flesh on Xu Qifei's arm and twisted it.

"Mom?" Xu Qifei looked at his mother in confusion, and then realized that something was wrong with his mother's eyes.

He immediately realized something, looked to the side, and then saw Sister Wang and the pretty girl standing next to Sister Wang.

Like Sister Wang, Sister Wang's daughter has a somewhat big face and a plump nose. She is a look that the elders like very much, and she looks very kind.

Seeing Xu Qifei looking over, she smiled at Xu Qifei.

Xu Qifei's face immediately turned red.

Sister Wang's daughter is not a great beauty, but she is still young, has tidied up carefully, and wears bright clothes, so she looks very lovable.

Seeing Xu Qifei's expression, Sister Wang breathed a sigh of relief and secretly pushed her daughter.

Sister Wang's daughter used to be quiet, but after meeting more people in the past six months, she became as eloquent as Sister Wang. She walked up and started chatting with Xu Qifei.

She likes young and knowledgeable people like Xu Qifei very much!

Xu Qifei has been studying since he was a child, leaving early and returning late. There were no girls in the school, and the girls at home who were about the same age as him all called him uncle...

It was his first time chatting with a girl, and he didn't know what to say.

But he tried very hard to say...Looking at the situation of these two people, they have basically become.

The air in Jinye Embroidery Workshop has become different.

Linhu County Government Office is quiet, very, very quiet.

There was no one waiting here, so no one even served Li Qingzhi tea.

Li Qingzhi didn't care. He took out the Four Treasures of the Study from his bookcase, poured some overnight tea from a teapot, grinded out the ink, and continued writing.

He has decided to write this book as soon as possible.

Magistrate Zhang heard that Magistrate Gou's master was coming and planned to meet him.

He was able to investigate things in Linhu County so clearly because of Magistrate Gou, who provided him with so much information.

Magistrate Gou has done so many things, and it is impossible to hide them from the people around him. Magistrate Gou's master probably knows what Magistrate Gou has done. He may be able to learn more information from this master's mouth.

But in the middle of his case, it was impossible to stop suddenly and just have someone take the master to the county government office.

It was already noon after the trial of the case, and Magistrate Zhang returned to the county office. He planned to drink some water and eat something before continuing the trial.

Magistrate Zhang had met the master of Magistrate Gou, but when he entered the county government office, he did not see the master. He only saw Li Qingzhi writing furiously.

Magistrate Zhang was stunned.

Li Qingzhi heard the movement and looked at Magistrate Zhang.

Magistrate Zhang came in alone.

This time the matter was a bit big. He didn't want to implicate Magistrate Gou, so he wasn't prepared to let others hear his conversation with Magistrate Gou's master.

"Master Zhang." Li Qingzhi called out, his eyes falling on Magistrate Zhang's chapped lips.

In addition to his chapped and flaky lips, Magistrate Zhang's face also looked ugly. He must have been very tired.

But he didn't take a break and kept looking at the case.

Li Qingzhi stood up and bowed to Magistrate Zhang: "Your grace will never be forgotten by ordinary people."

"What?" Magistrate Zhang was puzzled.

Li Qing said: "Sir, all the letters related to Linhu County are written by me."

Li Qingzhi didn't let Chang Zhan say this to Magistrate Zhang before because he didn't trust Magistrate Zhang at that time.

He knew that Magistrate Zhang was a good official, but a good official was not necessarily willing to offend King Jin.

But now... Magistrate Zhang has done so much, there is no way he can still hide it from Magistrate Zhang.

"Did you write those letters?" Magistrate Zhang was shocked.

Li Qing insisted: "I wrote it. Sir, I said before that I was so thin because of a serious illness, but that is not the case. Six years ago, I was robbed in Chongcheng County and sold to a quarry... "

Li Qingzhi briefly talked about his experience.

The more Magistrate Zhang listened, the angrier he became: "Those damn guys almost killed a genius!"

Magistrate Zhang had seen and heard about Li Qingzhi's abilities.

Li Qingzhi's future is limitless.

But it was such a person who almost died in the quarry!

Li Qingzhi's mood became increasingly complicated when he heard what Magistrate Zhang said.

He hid it from Magistrate Zhang, but Magistrate Zhang didn't feel any resentment at all.

"You only know about the quarry because you have experienced it yourself. What about the other things? How did you know about it?" Magistrate Zhang asked.

Li Qing said, "I interrogated the prisoners that Lord Gou interrogated again in private."

Magistrate Zhang: "..." He thought that Magistrate Gou was a smart man with great wisdom and stupidity, but it turned out that was not the case!

But the Li Qingzhi in front of him was really not simple.

This man escaped from the quarry, dragged his body that was about to collapse to study, and managed to get to know Magistrate Gou and send him a letter...

Everything in Linhu County was promoted by him!

It's just... Li Qingzhi could always hide behind the scenes, so why did he suddenly confess to him?

He was probably going to die next, so it would be useless for Li Qingzhi to come to him and tell him this.

In contrast... if Li Qing takes the imperial examination with a clear conscience, his future will be smoother.

Magistrate Zhang was confused, so he asked directly.

Li Qing insisted: "My lord, you have avenged me, how can I deceive you again?"

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Zhang became more fond of Li Qingzhi.

People who know how to repay kindness are never too bad.

A person who, after escaping from hell, only thinks about rescuing those who are still suffering, is not bad either.

Magistrate Zhang said: "I'll have someone bring food over. Let's have something to eat and talk some more."

"Yes, sir." Li Qingzhi also wanted to talk to Magistrate Zhang.

Magistrate Zhang went outside and asked someone to deliver the meal, and asked Li Qingzhi: "What were you writing just now?"

Li Qing said: "I'm writing a book."

"What book?" Magistrate Zhang frowned. If Li Qingzhi wrote a book about what he did in Linhu County and spread it... King Jin would never spare Li Qingzhi!

Li Qing insisted: "I am writing a book called "The Record of Redress of Injustice."

After hearing this, Magistrate Zhang came to the place where Li Qingzhi was writing and looked through the manuscript that Li Qingzhi had written.

After seeing it, Magistrate Zhang was greatly shocked.

In the past few days, he had learned countless tragic things. At first, he was heartbroken, but later he became numb and could only continue the interrogation numbly.

But now after reading this story written by Li Qing... his eyes were sore and he almost shed tears.

Li Qingzhi wrote this book at the beginning, saying it was dictated by the common people and he recorded it, but it was really written in the common people's tone. It was more colloquial than the stories he had written before, and even some words that were unique to Jiangnan appeared from time to time.

But it's a story like this that touches people's hearts and makes people feel heartbroken after reading it.

Chapter 126 Busy

Magistrate Zhang has lived for many years and has read many books.

But he had never read a book like this written by Li Qingzhi in the tone of ordinary people.

He didn't read much, then stopped looking.

He has realized that why Li Qingzhi wrote this book was probably to help him.

Magistrate Zhang thought of the books written by Li Qing.

When he went to New Pier in Chongcheng County to investigate, he didn't see those books, and he didn't know that Li Qing wrote the books.

Later, after his play reached the capital, he found out what Li Qingzhi had done, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

He had a good impression of Magistrate Gou at the time and did not think Li Qingzhi wrote this to please Magistrate Gou. However, he felt that Li Qingzhi should not have written this and wasted his study time.

Looking back now... Li Qingzhi should have wanted revenge, so he wrote a book to get acquainted with Magistrate Gou.

Li Qingzhi wrote the book this time to help him.

But this book is most likely useless.

Today, the two most powerful people in the court are King Jin and Lu Qingxi, both of whom he has offended.

Let's go... Jinshang has been in poor health in the past few years and has not taken care of things very much... No one will save him.

Magistrate Zhang said: "This book helps the people state the facts of the case, which is very good. But you must keep it secret and make sure no one knows that you wrote it."

"Don't worry, sir, I will keep it a secret." Li Qing insisted.

Magistrate Zhang added: "Li Qingzhi, you have experienced many hardships and have seen the suffering of the people. Study hard and become a good official in the future."

Li Qingzhi sighed in his heart, and at this moment, Chang Zhan and Chang Duan came to deliver the meal.

They have been following Magistrate Zhang for the past few days. In addition to watching the interrogation, they also cook for Magistrate Zhang.

There are some nourishing dishes in the Chang family's menu. What they cooked for Magistrate Zhang today was old duck stewed with several medicinal herbs, which is very suitable for middle-aged and elderly people like Magistrate Zhang.

After coming in, Chang Duan didn't recognize Li Qingzhi's changed appearance, but Chang Zhan recognized him at a glance and was surprised and happy.

Magistrate Zhang said: "You should all know each other, so you don't need my introduction."

Hearing this, Li Qingzhi looked at Chang Duan with a smile: "Chang Duan, I'm Li Qingzhi, long time no see."

"Are you Li Qingzhi?" Chang Duan was a little surprised.

Li Qing insisted: "Yes, after I gain weight, do I look different from before?"

Li Qingzhi's appearance has indeed changed a lot compared to before, but there are still some similarities between his brows. Chang Duan glanced at Chang Zhan and confirmed Li Qingzhi's identity: "Brother Li, I always thought you were dead... …It's good that you're alive."

"I almost died," Li Qingzhi sighed and looked at Magistrate Zhang again, "Sir, please have something to eat."

Interrogating prisoners is not an easy job. Magistrate Zhang must be hungry and tired at the moment.

"Yes, sir, you didn't eat much in the morning, so you must eat more now," Chang Zhan looked at Magistrate Zhang, "This old duck soup is skimmed with oil, so you can drink some and eat some duck meat. "

"Then let's eat." Magistrate Zhang said, and asked Chang Duan and Chang Zhan to stay for dinner.

After hearing this, the Chang brothers went out again and brought back some rice and vegetables, which they ate with Zhang Zhifu Li Qingzhi.

Li Qingzhi wanted to have a chat with Magistrate Zhang.

After Magistrate Gou was admitted to Tongjinshi, he went to work as an official. He didn't know much about the affairs in the court, but Magistrate Zhang... he should know a lot of things.

However, Magistrate Zhang looked too tired.

Li Qingzhi didn't bring up any topic, and just asked Magistrate Zhang to eat more. After Magistrate Zhang finished eating, he said again: "Sir, you can take a nap. I have learned massage and can massage your shoulders."

Magistrate Zhang refused with a smile: "No, you should go and take a rest."

"Sir, you have avenged me, let me give you a massage." Li Qing insisted.

Li Qingzhi insisted, and Magistrate Zhang lay down on the couch next to him and asked Li Qingzhi to massage his shoulders.

Although Magistrate Zhang planned to take a rest, he didn't think he could really fall asleep.

Over the years, he has always had trouble falling asleep, and even when he does fall asleep, he cannot sleep well. He always feels like he is awake, and it is even harder to fall asleep no matter how tired he is during the day.

He had a lot of things going on in the past few days. Not only could he not sleep, his head also ached and he couldn't eat...

Li Qingzhi stretched out his hand to press Magistrate Zhang's shoulders, and then pressed Magistrate Zhang's temples.

After using his powers, he discovered something was wrong with Magistrate Zhang. This old man's stomach was in bad shape, and there were problems with other internal organs as well, but the most important problem was with his nerves.

Long-term fatigue and mental stress can damage the nerves. Damage to the nerves can easily lead to neurotic insomnia, which will continue to worsen the physical condition.

Li Qing used his supernatural powers to comfort Zhang Zhifu, put him into a light sleep, and then nourished his nerves.

When he first came to this world, his powers were very weak, but as his body gradually improved, his powers also increased.

Of course, the increase is not much. At this moment, he will not be able to completely repair Zhang Zhifu's nerve cells.

But Magistrate Zhang should feel much better.

Li Qingzhi didn't let Magistrate Zhang sleep for too long, and Magistrate Zhang certainly didn't want to sleep for too long. After half an hour, he let Magistrate Zhang wake up.

When Magistrate Zhang woke up, he was a little confused: "Am I asleep?"

"Sir, please take a little sleep." Li Qing insisted.

Magistrate Zhang sat up, feeling that his condition was better than ever before, and said to Li Qing: "Your massage skills are really good."

He hadn't slept so well in a long time.

Magistrate Zhang was anxious to continue investigating the case, but Chang Duan and Chang Zhan stayed behind.

After Magistrate Zhang left, Li Qingzhi looked at Chang Zhan: "Chang Zhan, what happened in the past few days? Tell me."

Upon hearing this, Chang Zhan immediately told what happened in the past few days, and then asked: "Mr. Li, can you help Magistrate Zhang in any way?"

Li Qing insisted: "I have a solution here, but I don't know if it can work."

After hearing what Li Qingzhi said, Chang Duan and Chang Zhan looked at Li Qingzhi together.

Li Qing said: "I plan to write a book and send it to the capital, and then spread it."

With that said, Li Qingzhi showed Chang Duan and Chang Zhan the manuscript he had written.

Both brothers were literate, and they gathered together to read what Li Qing had written. As they looked at it, tears fell involuntarily.

The first person to speak out about their experience was so miserable that they felt the same way.

"Good book!" Chang Duan was a little excited: "If the people in the capital read this book, they will know that what Magistrate Zhang did was to do justice for heaven!"

Li Qing said: "If it can be seen by someone who has a grudge against King Jin, then it can be sent to His Majesty..."

Chang Duan immediately thought of someone: "Lu Qingxi!"

"Yes, it's Lu Qingxi. It's best to get this book into Lu Qingxi's hands. If possible, print more books and sell them so that the people in the capital know about the Lou family and all the evil things Magistrate Yan has done. When the time comes, The imperial court should be accommodating to Magistrate Zhang!" Li Qing insisted.

Chang Duan and Chang Zhan were both a little excited.

Li Qingzhi asked at this time: "Are you willing to help me run?"

In fact, when Li Qingzhi came to Hu County this time, in addition to wanting to know the specific situation of Linhu County, he also wanted to meet Chang Zhan and ask Chang Zhan to go to the capital for him.

Now that we see that Chang Duan is still alive... it's okay to go by Chang Duan.

Although he got the title of Chief Examination Case Officer and got to know a lot of people, he didn't have anyone he could use, and he didn't dare to just find someone to do such an important thing.

As for himself, he has to take the college examination next and cannot leave.

Thinking like this, Li Qingzhi added: "Actually, our biggest enemy is King Jin. I don't want King Jin to go unpunished..."

Chang Duan and Chang Zhan knelt down directly: "We are willing to go to the capital!"

"Mr. Li, we are willing to listen to your orders, we want revenge!"

The sudden behavior of Chang Duan and Chang Zhan shocked Li Qingzhi, but their firm expressions also made Li Qingzhi breathe a sigh of relief.

He needs someone to help him.

Li Qingzhi asked them to get up and continued talking to them. After talking with them, they learned that Magistrate Zhang had returned the Chang family's assets to Chang Duan and Chang Zhan.

In other words, these two people now have a lot of money.

It would be best if his book could be printed. Before, he was worried that he would not have the money to print it, but now they have the money.

Li Qingzhi was in a good mood, and Chang Duan said again at this time: "Mr. Li, our family has been ruined. We will give you all the money and the Chang family's recipes, as long as you can lead us in revenge!"

"Yes, Mr. Li, I have said before that I will do anything to repay you! If you have anything to do, just ask me to do it!"

Chang Duan and Chang Zhan looked determined. Li Qingzhi was slightly stunned, and then asked: "Do you really think so?"

"It's absolutely true! Mr. Li, without you, I would definitely be dead!" Chang Zhan said.

Chang Duan also said: "Me too, I almost died."

Li Qingzhi began to think deeply.

He loves life and in the last days, no matter how much pain and suffering he goes through, he wants to live.

It was the same after he came to this world. He wanted to live and be safe.

But in this world... Looking at the situation of the Chang brothers, you know that ordinary people may encounter accidents at any time.

It would definitely be much better to become an official after taking the exam, but even if you become an official... Whether it is the original owner's father or Zhang Zhifu, they are in danger if they are not careful.

If possible, he'd better have more protection.

And there is revenge... He used the body of the original owner, and he must avenge the original owner.

Li Qingzhi had long thought about developing his own power, but at that time he had no money and no one, but now...

"Mr. Li..." Chang Duan and Chang Zhan looked at Li Qingzhi together.

They can't let go of their hatred, but they can't avenge themselves.

All they can count on now is Li Qingzhi.

Li Qing insisted: "You can follow me. Now, let's discuss what to do next."

The three of them exchanged various information and discussed.

Li Qingzhi planned to finish writing the book in hand as soon as possible, and while he was writing, Chang Duan could sell the restaurant and the Chang family's house, use the money to buy a printing workshop, and start printing the book.

To print a book, one piece of paper is printed and then bound into a book. Even if he has not finished writing the latter part, he can start printing the previous part.

As for what's next…

"In ten days, a businessman I know from Chongcheng County will go to the capital to do business. You can pretend to be a businessman and follow him to the capital." Li Qing insisted.

Wu Baichuan and Jin Xiaoye bought a lot of goods and were eager to go to the capital to make money.

But he doesn't dare to go alone. He will go with the large fleet, and that large fleet will set off in ten days.

Li Qingzhi learned about this while chatting with Jin Xiaoye.

There are only ten days left, so time is a bit tight, but it doesn't necessarily mean that we can't finish these things.

The three of them discussed it, and Li Qingzhi said: "You go and do your work, I will continue writing the book."

"Yes!" Chang Duan and Chang Zhan didn't know what to do before and felt empty in their hearts. Now after listening to Li Qingzhi's words and finding out that Magistrate Zhang was saved, they suddenly became energetic and full of energy.

Li Qingzhi picked up the pen and was about to write something when he suddenly thought of something: "Zhu Qian, the president of the Chongcheng County Chamber of Commerce, followed me to Linhu County. If you sell your restaurant and house to him, the price will be better."

Although the local wealthy people in Linhu County have not been completely harmed, under the current situation, they will most likely lower the price.

Zhu Qian is different, he has money!

In addition, Magistrate Zhang was considerate and was afraid that the Chang brothers would be retaliated against, so he did not let these two people come out too much... He bought their restaurant so that Zhu Qian would not get into trouble.

Hearing this, Chang Duan took the house deed and went to Zhu Qian. On the other side, Chang Zhan found a bookstore in Linhu County and started talking to him.

"I only bought the equipment for printing books. You just need to teach me how to use it. I can give you more money." Chang Zhan got straight to the point.

The price offered by Chang Zhan was too attractive, and the bookstore owner agreed after thinking about it.

He had more than one set of printing typefaces and other items. Even if he sold some of them to Chang Zhan, he would still be able to continue his business. At most, he would have to buy some more tools.

On the other side, Chang Duan found Zhu Qian and gave him a good price. Zhu Qian paid for the restaurant and house without even thinking about it.

When he came this time, he happened to bring a banknote.

This price is too low! He feels uncomfortable if he doesn't buy it! Zhu Qian didn't plan to use the restaurant and house for himself, but he could make a fortune by reselling things like this... if he kept them for a few years.

As for this restaurant being robbed by the Lou family... The adult men of the Lou family are almost dying, what are they afraid of?

In this situation... Even if King Jin attacks Magistrate Zhang, he will not be able to reverse the case of the Lou family! What's more... he just doesn't say that he bought a house for the time being.

Which one of them in business does not seek wealth through risk? He bought it!

After Chang Duan and Chang Zhan finished their work, they returned to the county government office to cook.

By this time, Li Qingzhi had already written 20,000 words.

He planned to write more than 100,000 words for this book, "Redress of Injustice", and he was afraid that he would have to work day and night in the next few days.

It wasn't until it got dark that Magistrate Zhang came back to eat.

Li Qingzhi stopped writing and had dinner with Magistrate Zhang, and then said: "Master Magistrate, Magistrate Gou has been very worried, lest he be affected... Can you please write him a note to comfort him?"

Magistrate Zhang agreed: "Yes." Although Magistrate Gou was not as capable and smart as he imagined, Magistrate Gou managed Chongcheng County well.

After learning about the situation in Linhu County, he specially asked someone to check other counties in Hexing Prefecture except Linhu County.

Although there are some problems in these counties, they are not serious, and Chongcheng County is undoubtedly the best among them.

He is not a person who can't get rid of the dirt in his eyes, and he will not embarrass the county magistrate.

Magistrate Zhang wrote a few sentences according to Li Qingzhi's request. He not only praised Magistrate Gou, saying that Magistrate Gou was the best among the magistrates in Hexing Prefecture, but also said that Magistrate Gou was dedicated to the people, which is rare. A good official.

Li Qingzhi felt that Magistrate Gou would be relieved after seeing this letter.

Moreover, after Magistrate Gou is praised as a good official, he will work hard to be a good official.

His family was wealthy since he was a child, and he had no shortage of food and drink. Although he loved money, his spiritual satisfaction made him even more excited.

After dinner, Li Qingzhi once again proposed to give Zhang Zhifu a massage.

Magistrate Zhang said: "Let me write a memorial first."

"Sir, please write it." Li Qing insisted and continued to write his book.

When he writes this book, he will imagine himself to be the person he wants to write about, so that when he writes on his behalf, his emotions will be fuller.

Because of this, his face was full of sadness, and if he hadn't been able to control his body, he would have burst into tears.

After Magistrate Zhang finished writing the memorial, he saw Li Qingzhi's expression and couldn't help but sigh.

King Jin and the Lou family have really caused harm to many people!

"Sir, I will give you a massage. You can have a good sleep." Li Qingzhi quickly pulled away from his emotions and looked at Magistrate Zhang with a smile.

Magistrate Zhang agreed.

There are too many Xiang troops and there is not enough housing for them, so Magistrate Zhang has been eating and sleeping in the house used by Magistrate Yan to work these days.

Now, he was lying on the couch where he used to take a nap in the afternoon.

Li Qing used his superpower to massage his temples, and soon he fell asleep.

Seeing this, he came to the desk next to him and started writing furiously.

After his powers recovered somewhat, he came to Magistrate Zhang again and used his powers on Magistrate Zhang.

When the power ran out, he continued writing...

Chapter 127 Chain

Chang Duan and Chang Zhan also slept in the county government office during this time.

That night, the two chatted for a long time.

One of them was going to the capital, and Chang Duan planned for him to go, while Chang Zhan stayed in Chongcheng County.

"Azhan, you have watched Cuicui grow up. She is more familiar with you. It is better for you to accompany her. Then you can make money by making braised food. If we want revenge, we must not be without money..." Chang Duan Advised to always look forward.

Chang Zhan said: "Brother, I'd better go to the capital. I've always wanted to visit the capital..."

"I'll go!" Chang Duan said, "I can speak Mandarin, and it will be much more convenient to go to the capital."

Chang Duan claimed that he was the eldest brother and took the job.

Going to the capital might be dangerous, so he couldn't let his brother go.

After talking, the two of them went out with dry mouths. They planned to drink some water and go to the latrine on the way. When they looked up, they saw that the house where Magistrate Zhang lived was still lit. The two of them went over and knocked gently on the door. Soon, the door was opened, and Li Qingzhi appeared in front of them.

"Mr. Li?" Chang Duan was a little surprised. He thought it was Magistrate Zhang handling official business, so he was still awake.

Li Qing said: "Master Zhang has gone to bed, I plan to write something more."

"Mr. Li, please go to bed early." Chang Duan said.

"I will." Li Qingzhi responded with a smile, but he had already made up his mind to continue to stay up all night.

After Chang Duan took his younger brother back to the house, he drank the whole bottle of water he brought back to the house.

Chang Zhan was stunned: "Brother, why do you drink so much water? You have to get up at night."

Chang Duan said: "I'm a little thirsty... just get up at night."

Chang Duan deliberately drank more water because he actually wanted to get up at night and see what was going on with Li Qingzhi.

When he listened to Li Qingzhi talking during the day, he thought that it was impossible for Li Qingzhi to finish writing a book in only ten days.

So... Li Qingzhi is still writing at night?

In the middle of the night, Chang Duan got up as expected.

He didn't know what time it was, but the whole world was silent... it must be very late.

Chang Duan went out to the latrine and took a look at the house where Magistrate Zhang lived. The lights were still on there.

He had gone to see him before and found that Magistrate Zhang had indeed fallen asleep, so... Li Qingzhi was still writing a book?

Chang Duan did not go back to sleep, but found a place to sit down.

He kept looking at the room, and the light in the room was always on.

Li Qing wrote the book all night.

During dinner yesterday, he had already written 20,000 words, and last night he wrote another 15,000 words, adding up to 35,000 words.

If it weren't for his supernatural powers, his arm would have been so sore that he couldn't use it.

In fact, his arm is very uncomfortable now... He used his superpower on Zhang Zhifu several times last night, without taking care of himself.

But this didn't have much impact on him.

He was going back with Zhu Qian today, and he could take a rest on the way back.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, Li Qingzhi put away the manuscript he wrote last night and opened the door and went out.

Waving his hands in the yard, Li Qingzhi saw Chang Duan coming in from outside.

"Mr. Li, are you up already?" Chang Duan asked with a smile.

"Yes, I'm up already," Li Qingzhi smiled, "Chang Duan, prepare more food for me this morning. I have a big appetite. Also, if Magistrate Zhang asks, just tell me that I went to bed last night I slept at your place."

"Okay," Chang Duan agreed, "I'm going to the kitchen."

Chang Duan called Chang Zhan to the kitchen and made breakfast with Chang Zhan. By the way, he mentioned that Li Qingzhi didn't sleep last night.

"What?" Chang Zhan was surprised.

Chang Duan said: "He should be writing that book... He works so hard, and we can't relax."

Chang Zhan nodded seriously.

He is not very old, but the changes in his family have caused him to grow up rapidly.

Chang Duan asked again: "Li Qingzhi has a big appetite?"

"It seems so. He was at home before and ate a lot in one meal." Chang Zhan recalled that he didn't have much contact with Li Qingzhi, but they had dinner together.

"Why didn't you tell me before?" Chang Duan glared at his brother.

There were very few ingredients in the kitchen at the county government office, so Chang Duan and Chang Zhan had money, so they asked someone to buy a lot of things so that they could prepare sumptuous meals for Magistrate Zhang every day.

It was early in the morning, so they didn't cook anything too complicated. They cooked a pot of noodles, fried eggs, and then asked people to buy some bags.

The fried dough sticks are back.

Magistrate Zhang likes to eat pasta, and Li Qingzhi should not reject it either.

There were pickles and pork in the pot of noodles, which tasted delicious. Chang put it in a pottery basin and took it to Magistrate Zhang.

Magistrate Zhang had already woken up. When he woke up, he was a little dazed.

It has been a long, long time since he slept from dusk to dawn.

After this sleep, he felt that he was completely refreshed.

Yesterday he had a headache and no appetite. Today, not only is his headache gone, he actually feels very hungry!

"My dear nephew, your massage skills are really good." Magistrate Zhang said.

"As long as it's useful to you, sir." Li Qing insisted.

Just as he was talking, Chang Duan and Chang Zhan came with noodles.

Magistrate Zhang wanted to eat it when he smelled it: "This noodles is so delicious."

Chang Zhan brought an empty bowl over and asked Magistrate Zhang to serve the noodles himself.

Magistrate Zhang used to only serve a little bit, but today he served a lot, including a poached egg that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

While he was eating, he saw Chang Zhan coming over with steamed buns and fried dough sticks.

"Why have you prepared so much?" Magistrate Zhang was puzzled - that pot of noodles should be enough for the four of them.

"I have a better appetite." Li Qing said with a smile. He was in urgent need of replenishing energy.

Magistrate Zhang did not believe what Li Qingzhi said.

For someone as thin as Li Qingzhi, how could he have such a good appetite?

Then...Zhifu Zhang watched helplessly as Li Qingzhi ate four times his food.

Magistrate Zhang: "..." People really cannot be judged by their appearance.

Magistrate Zhang had a good sleep last night and had a good meal this morning. He felt refreshed and his mood was not as heavy as before.

He still has some prisoners who have not yet finished interrogating them, but he does not plan to continue interrogating those prisoners in public. Instead, he will try them in the county government office, which will be much easier.

After dinner, Magistrate Zhang asked his confidants to send the memorial he wrote last night to the capital, and asked Li Qingzhi to leave as soon as possible.

He is in trouble, so it would be better for Li Qingzhi to stay away from him.

Li Qingzhi did not refuse Magistrate Zhang's kindness. After saying goodbye to Magistrate Zhang, he left the Linhu County government office and went to the place he had agreed with Zhu Qian to find Zhu Qian.

As for Chang Duan and Chang Zhan, they still have some things to do in Linhu County, and they will go to Chongcheng County to find him after finishing them.

When Li Qingzhi found Zhu Qian, Zhu Qian looked in a good mood.

"Uncle Zhu is very happy?" Li Qingzhi asked.

Zhu Qian said: "I'm very happy. I inquired about the situation here. Magistrate Zhang is a sensible man and he shouldn't do anything to our Chongcheng County. I also made a mistake and bought some things at a cheap price. "

Although Linhu County was hit hard, it is not difficult to recover. In the future, the house and restaurant he bought will definitely be worth a lot of money.

"The prefect is indeed very kind. After I explained the situation to him, he wrote a letter to Magistrate Gou to reassure Magistrate Gou." Li Qing insisted.

"That's really great!" Zhu Qian was very happy.

Li Qingzhi and Zhu Qian got on the Zhu family's boat together, and then said: "Uncle Zhu, I didn't sleep well at Magistrate Zhang's place last night. I'm a little sleepy and want to take a rest."

He didn't plan to write anything in front of Zhu Qian, so he might as well take this opportunity to take a rest.

Zhu Qian's boat is quite big, and he can lie down and rest.

"You can rest." Zhu Qian naturally would not object.

After Li Qingzhi lay down, he let himself fall into deep sleep.

He slept for three hours. When he woke up, the ship was almost at Chongcheng County, and his powers were fully restored.

Li Qing used his powers to eliminate his bad condition and began to eat the snacks that Zhu Qian asked his servants to buy and put on the boat.

The twists in Linhu County were delicious, and Zhu Qian bought a lot of them.

This kind of twist is about the same size as a fried dough stick, but only half as long.

Li Qingzhi was eating mahua and the braised meat Zhu Qian bought, which was very delicious.

When Zhu Qian saw it, his appetite increased unconsciously and he ate a lot.

"Someone told me that the braised food in Linhu County is better than the one in Chongcheng County, but this tastes just average and cannot be compared with the one you gave me before." Zhu Qianting missed the braised food that Li Qingzhi gave him.

Li Qingzhi had prepared some extra braised seasonings before, but before they were all used up, he said, "Uncle Zhu, I'll give you some more when you get back."

"My dear nephew, do you plan to sell such delicious braised food? If you sell it, your business will definitely be very good."

Li Qing said: "I will sell it, but it will have to wait half a month."

When Magistrate Zhang settles this matter, he plans to let Chang Zhan open a braised food restaurant in Chongcheng County.

No, he couldn't just open one.

There are many modern shops selling braised meat and duck products. If you just walk around the commercial street, you can see many shops selling duck necks and chicken feet.

These stores are all chain stores.

Their waterways are well developed here. If he really wants to sell braised food, he can open a chain store.

By then, surrounding counties, prefectures and even provincial capitals can open one or two Changjia braised food restaurants, as long as they make the braised food the day before and deliver it to them.

Braised food is salty after all, so it doesn't go bad easily. It can be stored for a day. At worst, in summer, they make braised food in the early morning and send it out before dawn.

Chongcheng County is located between Fucheng and the provincial capital. The provincial capital is far away from Chongcheng County. If you row the boat faster, you can get there in three hours. If you send it out at dawn, it will arrive at noon.

Many people only buy braised food in the afternoon, so they can definitely make it in time.

After Li Qingzhi ate a lot of things, they finally returned to Chongcheng County.

At this time, Jin Liushu and Jin Moli were already selling food on the dock.

The Li family held a banquet the day before yesterday, and they used the braised meat that made Jin Xiaoye a lot of money in his previous life!

Jin Moli couldn't bear it at that time, so she went home and cried a lot.

She doesn't even want to go to the county town to sell food!

She started selling food to save money. When she figured out the braised food recipe, she wanted to sell braised food like Jin Xiaoye.

But now...since Jin Xiaoye didn't figure out the braised recipe, she definitely couldn't figure it out either! The Yao family's financial situation is not bad, and Jin Moli's living conditions in the Yao family are better than those of most people in the village.

After she earned money by selling food, she ate meat a few more times, but the little money was not enough for her to buy a house in the city and completely change her current life.

Is it necessary for her to make herself so tired just to eat more meat?

Jin Moli backed down, but Jin Liushu still pulled her away.

In the past two days, she continued to sell food.

"Jin Moli, you have been lazy for the past two days, but you can't do it today! I can't do all the work." Jin Liushu set up the stall and glanced at Jin Moli dissatisfied.

It was Jin Moli who brought up the business, but the money earned by the two of them would be equally divided.

He was a little embarrassed, so he would work more and even get more vegetables from his own land.

But Jin Moli went all out and did nothing, and he was still not happy.

"Brother, I don't feel well today." Jin Moli said.

"Didn't your sunflower water come here a long time ago? Why don't you feel comfortable?" Jin Liushu said while working.

Jin Liushu is considered a lazy person in the village and does not like to do farm work.

But he is passionate about selling food and is very willing to do it.

Firstly, no matter how tiring it is to sell rice, it is not as tiring as doing farm work. Secondly... when people buy rice from him, they give him copper coins, and he is happy when he sees the copper coins!

"Brother! You are strong, can't you do more?" Jin Moli was dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay." Jin Liushu didn't want to argue with Jin Moli, so he could only let Jin Moli sit beside him and do nothing while he quickly served food to others.

After pretending for a while, Jin Liushu became unhappy again: "Jin Moli, why don't you take some money to wash the dishes?"

As he spoke, he looked at Jin Moli, only to see Jin Moli looking distracted and talking to passers-by not far away.

Golden Willow: "..."

The guests were urging, and Jin Liushu could only do the work of two people by himself.

On the other side, Jin Moli was dumbfounded.

Jin Moli was sitting nearby to rest because she was in a bad mood and it was hot. But while she was resting, she heard someone mention Linhu County around her.

What happened to Linhu County? Jin Moli sounded curious.

Jin Moli had been living in the countryside her whole life and was not well informed, but she knew a major event in Linhu County - five years later, King Jin became emperor, and then the Lou family in Linhu County was awarded a lot of rewards .

After that, the Lou family became the richest and most prestigious family in Hexing Mansion. The young servants of the Lou family can take concubines, and the housekeepers of the Lou family even have to support the officials.

She had also heard some rumors, such as that the Lou family used silk to wipe their butts.

She was envious when she heard about it, but now...Zhifu Zhang has killed many Lou family members? Is Magistrate Zhang crazy?

Mr. Lou is the uncle of the future emperor!

There is also Magistrate Yan, who

But the person who was going to be the prefect was killed now?

What exactly is going on?

Although Jin Moli had memories of her previous life, she didn't know anything about Magistrate Zhang. She only knew about Magistrate Yan because she heard that he married a Miss Lou family and became the prefect.

The world after her rebirth has really changed too much!

Jin Moli looked in a daze, and Jin Liushu was furious when he saw this - he really wanted to get rid of Jin Moli and let his wife help.

Unfortunately, Jin Moli came up with this business, and he couldn't get rid of Jin Moli.

When Jin Moli couldn't believe it, the boat Li Qingzhi and Zhu Qian were on stopped near the county government office.

After three hours of deep sleep on the boat, coupled with his supernatural powers... Li Qingzhi's condition had completely recovered, and he entered the county government office with a smile on his face.

Then he saw Magistrate Gou wearing a straw hat and preparing to go out.

"Sir, are you going out?" Li Qingzhi asked.

"Yes, I plan to take the government servants myself to measure the nearby land." Magistrate Gou said.

After Li Qingzhi told Magistrate Gou that the land could be re-measured, Magistrate Gou planned to start the process the next day.

Then... as expected, it was boycotted.

No matter whether it is the subordinate officials in the county government or the wealthy squires, they don't want Magistrate Gou to do this.

Which of them didn't hide in a few acres of land?

Things didn't go smoothly, but Magistrate Gou didn't want to delay, and planned to go and see for himself today.

He couldn't believe that even though he had gone there, those rich people still dared to stop him from measuring it!

When Li Qingzhi heard what Magistrate Gou said, he immediately praised Magistrate Gou and said: "Sir, I told Magistrate Zhang that you planned to re-measure the land. Magistrate Zhang was very happy and wrote you a letter. ."

"Really?" Magistrate Gou was surprised and happy.

"This is the letter from Magistrate Zhang to you." Li Qingzhi took out the letter written by Magistrate Zhang and gave it to Magistrate Gou.

Magistrate Gou received the letter and became excited when he read it.

Magistrate Zhang said that he was a good official and the best among the many county magistrates in Hexing Prefecture!

Magistrate Zhang asked him to go to Linhu County to investigate the disaster in the tea garden, but he found out nothing... Magistrate Zhang not only did not blame him, but actually praised him!

Magistrate Gou was very happy and secretly vowed to be a good official!

There is also the matter of re-measurement of the land... This is very troublesome to do and will offend a large number of people, but he must do it!

Magistrate Zhang already knew about this, how could he not do it? When it is done, he will definitely be praised by Magistrate Zhang.

I don't know if Magistrate Zhang was still in Chongcheng County at that time.

Magistrate Gou was a little worried and began to ask about the situation in Linhu County.

When he learned from Zhu Qian that Magistrate Zhang had a secret edict, he no longer worried about Magistrate Zhang: "No wonder Magistrate Zhang dared to do this, it turns out that His Majesty gave him a secret edict!"

Li Qingzhi: "..." There is no secret decree at all, it was a lie by Magistrate Zhang!

If this matter is not handled well, Magistrate Zhang will be charged with "falsifying the imperial edict".

Chapter 128: Riding the boat

When Li Qingzhi returned home that day, it was already afternoon.

Li Damao and the others were all at home, and they were very happy to see him: "Dad! Dad!"

"Dad, you came back so quickly this time!"

"Dad, you really came back in one day!"

Li Qing picked them up one by one and kissed their little faces: "Not seeing each other for one day is like three autumns. Daddy misses you so much!"

"We miss Dad too!"

"Dad, you are so powerful now, you can hold both of us at once!"

Li Damao and Li Ermao kissed Li Qingzhi's face.

Li Qing insisted: "Of course dad is very powerful. When your dad gets well, he can defeat dozens of people by himself!"

Li Damao and Li Ermao exclaimed, "Dad, are you feeling well?"

"Dad, when will your health get better?"

Li Qing insisted: "In a few months, dad's health will be better." Li Damao and Li Ermao nodded expectantly.

Jin Xiaoye stood nearby and looked at Li Qingzhi's still thin figure, but did not believe Li Qingzhi's words.

Li Qingzhi's health is indeed better now. If nothing else, he can hold her when he is with her at night.

But that's all... How is it possible for one person to fight dozens of people?

Li Qingzhi probably just talked casually and coaxed the children.

In those paintings, among the generals who can equal one to a hundred, which one is not tall and round? He wouldn't be like Li Qingzhi, whose thighs were thinner than hers.

But Jin Xiaoye didn't want to say anything. She asked Li Qingzhi: "Ah Qing, how is things going in Linhu County? I heard that Magistrate Zhang killed many people?"

Li Qing said: "They killed many people."

Li Qingzhi told Jin Xiaoye about the situation in Linhu County, as well as Chang Duan and Chang Zhan.

Jin Xiaoye was very happy to learn that Chang Duan was still alive.

She likes Chang Cui very much. It is a good thing that Chang Cui's father is alive now.

Li Qingzhi thought for a while and told him and Chang Duan Changzhan what they wanted to do to help Magistrate Zhang: "Xiaoye, I will write more books in the next few days. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of family matters by then. ."

"It's okay, I have to handle family matters!" Jin Xiaoye said.

In the past, she had no money, so she brought up Li Da Mao and Li Er Mao. Now that she has money and people, can she still not be able to take care of several children?

When Li Qingzhi was taking the imperial examination in Fucheng, everything was in order on her side.

"Xiaoye, you're so kind," Li Qingzhi kissed Jin Xiaoye while no one was around, and then said, "I'll go write some books."

After Li Qingzhi finished speaking, he went to the study and wrote five thousand words before dinner.

The female workers in Miaoqian Village have been trained, and Wu Baichuan's orders have been completed, so Jin Xiaoye is free. When Li Qingzhi went downstairs, she was cooking.

"The newly grown eggplants are especially soft when fried. Ah Qing, please eat more!"

"Okay." Li Qingzhi smiled.

Today the female workers ate salted fish and eggplant stewed with cowpeas.

The dishes on their table are different. Jin Xiaoye specially fried eggplant, fried cowpeas with pork belly slices, plus salted fish and tofu soup, a total of four dishes.

Li Qingzhi consumed a lot these days, so he ate a lot. After eating, he saw a layer of rice cakes left in the cooking pot, and looked at Li Damao and Li Ermao: "Da Mao Ermao, do you want something delicious?" of?"

"Think!" Li Damao and Li Ermao said immediately.

"Then daddy will fry the rice dumplings for you to eat." Li Qingzhi said with a smile.

At this time, everyone used iron pots to cook, which inevitably left a layer of crust on the bottom of the pot.

In the past, the leftover rice dumplings in their house were kept and added with water to cook into porridge the next morning, also called soaked rice.

After finishing the white rice porridge, everyone will eat this porridge.

Li Qingzhi eats a lot and doesn't eat less when he's at home. He feels that the porridge made with crispy rice has a burnt aroma and has a unique flavor.

As for the fried crispy rice he was talking about right now... Leave the crispy rice in the pot without shoveling it off. Pour a circle of oil around the edge of the pot, light the fire and fry for a while. The tempting aroma will emit from the crispy rice in the pot.

If you are more sophisticated, you can also scoop up the rice cake, flip it over and fry it again.

However, ordinary people are reluctant to fry the rice cakes in oil. Li Qingzhi had always eaten the rice cakes directly before, but he had never done this before.

When the aroma of fried rice crackers spread, everyone looked over curiously... The charm of fried food is unstoppable in this era.

Li Qingzhi divided some and went out, chatted with everyone, and then went to take a shower.

It took an hour to eat and take a shower, which was considered a short rest... Li Qingzhi returned to the study and continued writing.

It wasn't until Jin Xiaoye called him an hour later that he followed Jin Xiaoye back to the room.

The two chatted and made out for a while. After Jin Xiaoye fell asleep, Li Qingzhi got up and continued writing.

There are twelve hours in a day, and even if he had superpowers, he wouldn't be able to use all of these hours to write a book.

He planned to write for eight hours every day, and could write almost 25,000 words.

After seven days of writing in this way, plus what he had written before, there were 200,000 words, which could contain the "self-narrations" of more than a dozen sufferers!

The printed characters at this time were larger than those in later generations, and it was not suitable to bind a book of 200,000 words into one book. He planned to split a book of 20,000 to 30,000 words into seven books, so that it could be better distributed when the time came.

Li Qingzhi wrote until dawn before returning to Jin Xiaoye.

As soon as he got closer, Jin Xiaoye woke up: "Where have you been?"

"I went to the hut," Li Qing kissed Jin Xiaoye, "Xiaoye, I have to go out this morning."

After breakfast, he was going to find Wu Baichuan and ask Wu Baichuan to take Chang Duan to the capital.

In addition, he also wanted to find Zhu Qian to rent a few houses on the side of the new dock for printing books - Zhu Qian had built a lot of houses on the side of the new dock and planned to rent them out after the dock was completed.

The pier has not yet been completely built and is vacant.

As for what to do next with this book?

Seal, let the Chang brothers worry about it, he doesn't have time to worry about it.

Li Qingzhi ate something at home and hurried out.

He went to Wu Baichuan first.

Wu Baichuan's business was to buy goods from Hexing Mansion and send them to the capital for sale, and then buy goods from the capital and bring them to Hexing Mansion for sale.

This trip will take more than a month just on the road, and he will have to stay in the capital for more than a month... It takes him almost three months to go out.

So he only goes out twice a year, and occasionally three times.

When he is not going to the capital, he is either buying goods in various places in Hexing Prefecture, or resting at home.

Now there are only nine days before departure. He has already bought all the goods and is staying at home every day. Wu Baichuan's wife likes to drink porridge. Their family always drinks porridge in the morning, but Wu Baichuan likes to eat noodles.

In addition, the noodles made by his chef are not delicious... Every morning, he wanders to a noodle restaurant outside to eat noodles.

You can eat whatever noodles you want in a noodle shop, how great!

Today he ate a bowl of large intestine noodles and added a large piece of pork ribs, and he was very satisfied.

When Wu Baichuan returned home, feeling his stomach, a servant came over: "Shopkeeper Wu, there is someone from Jinye Embroidery Workshop who wants to see you." Wu Baichuan was a little surprised when he heard this. Didn't Jinye Embroidery Workshop already give away all the goods? Did he? He has also settled the payment for the goods. What do you want to do with him now?

Although he was confused, Wu Baichuan still went to see the person, and then he was shocked.

The person who came to see him was not Jin Xiaoye, but Li Qingzhi!

Last year, Li Qingzhi approached Wu Baichuan. After mentioning Hong Hui, Wu Baichuan became a little afraid of Li Qingzhi.

This is not only because Li Qingzhi knows Magistrate Gou and Zhu Qian, but also because Li Qingzhi is very smart, and his eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts.

After passing the county examination this year, Wu Baichuan became even more afraid of Li Qingzhi when he saw that Hong Hui had been dismissed and could never recover.

It seemed that Hong Hui hated Li Qingzhi and took the initiative to cause trouble for Li Qingzhi, which was why he ended up like this, but he always felt that Li Qingzhi planned all this.

Li Qingzhi, an ordinary person born as a farmer, got to know Magistrate Gou and Zhu Qian in just one year. Those who offended him have not yet come to a good end... How can this person be simple!

Now, Li Qingzhi has won the first place in the government examination, and he will definitely continue to take the examination in the future...

Wu Baichuan smiled as soon as he saw Li Qingzhi and said very enthusiastically, "Mr. Li, why are you here?"

"Shopkeeper Wu, I have something to ask you for help." Li Qing insisted.

"Mr. Li, just say it." Wu Baichuan said immediately.

Li Qingzhi did not speak in a hurry, but said: "Shopkeeper Wu, your fleet should have connections in the capital. That connection...is it Lu Qingxi?"

When Li Qingzhi was in Linhu County, he had already thought about asking Wu Baichuan to help, so he asked the Chang brothers to make some inquiries.

The fleet that Wu Baichuan followed belonged to the Shen family in the provincial capital, and according to the information he found out, the Shen family and the Lou family had never had any contact.

The Shen family specializes in business in the capital, so they must have backers in the capital.

If their backer is the King of Jin or an official of the King of Jin, it is impossible for them to have no contact with the Lou family at all and not buy some white tea from the Lou family.

You know, some officials from the King of Jin lineage would travel thousands of miles to buy the Lou family's white tea at a huge price!

The Shen family's backer had nothing to do with King Jin, so it might be Lu Qingxi, or some neutral officials... Li Qingzhi thought it was more likely to be Lu Qingxi, so he asked.

If he asked the right question, Wu Baichuan would be more obedient, but if he asked the wrong question...he would have nothing to lose.

Of course now it seems that he asked the right question - Wu Baichuan looked surprised.

Li Qingzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wu Baichuan's expression, feeling much more relaxed.

The backer of Wu Baichuan's caravan is Lu Qingxi... The next thing will be much easier to handle.

"How did Mr. Li know?" Wu Baichuan asked.

Everyone who works with the Shen family knows about this, but they don't tell anyone around them, not even his wife.

After all, Lu Qingxi's reputation is not very good.

Li Qingzhi smiled: "I guessed it. Shopkeeper Wu, I have a batch of goods that I would like to borrow your ship to transport to the capital. I have someone here who will go with me."

Li Qingzhi could guess Lu Qingxi's head with just a casual guess... Wu Baichuan became more and more cautious: "Mr. Li, there is no problem with this, but I have bought a lot of goods. If he brings a lot of things, he may not be able to load them on the ship. "

Li Qing insisted: "The things he brought are not large in size, but they should not be light in weight." The time is too short, and they cannot print too many books. A thousand copies of each book is enough.

Seven thousand books with 20,000 to 30,000 words each should not occupy much space.

With this in mind, Li Qingzhi calculated the approximate weight of those books and told Wu Baichuan.

"It's okay if it doesn't take up a lot of space!" Wu Baichuan said: "I have two ships. Some of the cargos still occupy a relatively large space, but they are not heavy. I will move the cargo, even if the cargo is several times heavier. Everything is possible!"

"Excuse me, Shopkeeper Wu." Li Qingzhi said with a smile.

"No trouble, no trouble," Wu Baichuan said immediately, "In the past, my own goods couldn't load my ship, so I would have asked others to go to the capital with me."

After the two parties signed the contract, Li Qingzhi left the Wu family and went to the Zhu family.

When he learned that he wanted to rent a house on the New Pier side, Zhu Qian said, "Nephew, I have a lot of houses over there. I'll give you one."

"Uncle Zhu, there is no need..."

"Yes! I have a lot of land over there at the new dock, and there is no shortage of houses!" Zhu Qian smiled and said: "And I also have something to ask for. When you, nephew, are named on the gold medal list, I would also like to ask you to help me with my two properties." A useless son."

Zhu Qian said so... Li Qingzhi thought about it and did not refuse.

He really needs Zhu Qian's help now.

But after this incident passes, he can find a way to repay Zhu Qian, such as making soap or glass recipes for Zhu Qian.

Of course, even if there is a recipe, these two things cannot be mass-produced in a short time.

After all, they lack materials, such as grease for making soap, which are difficult to obtain.

As for glass, Daqi actually has glass, but because there are some problems with the craftsmanship and raw materials, the purity of the glass at this time is very poor, and it is also colorful, and is generally used to make various ornaments.

This is not because craftsmen do not want to produce transparent glass, but simply because the raw materials and technology cannot keep up.

In addition, whether you are making glass or soap, you need to use soda ash, and extracting soda ash from plant ash is too inefficient!

It is difficult to make perfect soap and glass with just a little bit of soda ash in plant ash.

But he knows the location of a natural alkaline lake... The geographical environment of Daqi is similar to the environment where he originally lived. Maybe he can find it?

It's a bit far-fetched to think about this now. After Li Qingzhi talked with Zhu Qian, he refused Zhu Qian's invitation to stay for dinner, hurriedly returned home, and continued to immerse himself in writing a book.

While Li Qingzhi was busy writing a book, County Magistrate Gou, wearing a straw hat and leading a group of government servants, was surveying the land.

In fact, Magistrate Gou didn't really want to measure all the land in Chongcheng County. He was mainly targeting the wealthy households in the city.

He wants these wealthy households to pay all their taxes!

As for ordinary people, there is generally no difference. Generally speaking, they only have a small amount of land, not a lot of it.

They focus on vegetables and broad beans on land that does not belong to them, such as the river bank, and Magistrate Gou does not intend to interfere.

In short, he would not measure places like Miaoqian Village. If someone found that ordinary land was registered as paddy fields by petty officials for tax collection, he could file a complaint with him.

Of course, the wealthy households in Chongcheng County are not happy about this, but in the previous year, Magistrate Gou had taken control of the real power in Chongcheng County, and in the past few days, Magistrate Zhang has been killing people in the next county... …

Just pay taxes, it's better than death. Anyway, Magistrate Gou said that he won't pursue the past matters.

The wealthy households grimaced and allowed the government officials to measure their land.

Because of Magistrate Gou's land survey, Chongcheng County was particularly lively. Whether it was in restaurants, teahouses or theaters, people were talking about it.

For ordinary people, this is a good thing!

The story of Magistrate Gou punishing the white-eyed wolf is being played in the theater.

Many theatergoers had already watched the show before, and they were chatting in low voices now: "I heard that Master Gou went to survey the land and found out many hidden fields."

"Master Gou is really devoted to the people!"

"Since Lord Gou came to Chongcheng County, our life has become much better!"

…

While these people were talking, a fourteen-year-old boy asked them in words they couldn't quite understand: "What are you talking about?"

This young man is Gou Ying.

When he returned from Li Qingzhi's house that day, he didn't immediately read the storybook Li Qingzhi gave him. After all, it was too late.

But the next day, he took out the book and read it.

After looking at it, he realized that these books were all about his father!

I didn't expect his father to do so many things!

It is the time for young people of this age to worship heroes. The more Gou Ying watched, the more excited she became, thinking that her father was a hero.

It happened that Magistrate Gou was very busy these days and had no time to care about him, so he read all the stories in one go.

He still had some unfinished thoughts. Hearing that there was still a play that he could listen to, he took the boy out to listen to the play. As a result... he couldn't understand a word of it.

He couldn't even understand the dialect here, let alone the drama!

But people around him seemed to be talking about his father... Gou Ying asked about it.

The two parties don't speak the same language, but they can communicate by making gestures with their hands and feet.

Seeing that everyone around her was praising her father, Gou Ying decided to forget her past grudges and be more obedient in the future.

Then, he bumped into Magistrate Gou when he went home.

Magistrate Gou was very tired after running around outside all day. When he saw his son came back with a beaming face and didn't know where he came from, he immediately scolded him: "Where have you been? You only know how to play every day, but you don't know how to study..."

Gou Ying endured it, and then Magistrate Gou kept talking: "You are so old, you can only memorize a few books, and you don't know what you did in the previous ten years, and your grandfather doesn't care about you..."

Gou Ying couldn't bear it anymore, snorted coldly and turned around to leave.

Magistrate Gou couldn't help but feel angry. This child... couldn't even say a few words?

Li Qingzhi is not aware of the conflict between father and son of the Gou family.

After he came back from outside, except when he went downstairs for lunch, he spent the rest of the time writing a book.

But during dinner, he planned to let himself rest for an hour or two.

Otherwise, even if he has superpowers and his body can handle it, his spirit will not be able to handle it.

These stories were so tragic that he was always in sadness when writing them.

Chapter 129 Seal the Book

During dinner, Li Qingzhi chatted with Li Damao and Li Ermao for a while.

He loved talking to his two children.

When he was in a bad mood, chatting with others, especially Jin Xiaoye or the two children, would immediately improve his mood.

Li Qingzhi has been writing a book this afternoon, but Li Damao and Li Ermao are used to Li Qingzhi writing or reading, and have no time to accompany them. They don't mind at all and just chirp to Li Qingzhi about what they encountered today. There are still things to do.

Something big happened in Linhu County, but the people of Chongcheng County were still living their lives, and these children didn't know anything.

It was still early to finish the meal, so Li Qingzhi moved a stool and sat in the yard, telling stories to the three children.

He had read a lot of books in his previous life, and he knew so many stories. Plus, he could make up his own stories... He could never finish them.

As he was talking, there was a knock on the back door. Li Qingzhi went over to open the door and saw Chang Duan and Chang Zhan.

"Mr. Li, we are here." Chang Zhan opened his mouth and looked towards the yard.

Chang Duan also looked towards the yard, looking a little nervous.

Li Qingzhi knew they were looking for Chang Cui: "Come in."

He made way for the two brothers to go in, and then saw Chang Cui, who had moved a small bench to sit and listen to his story, suddenly rushed over: "Uncle!"

Chang Cui hugged one of Chang Zhan's legs and cried loudly: "Uncle!"

Chang Cui had a good time at Jinye Embroidery Workshop during this period.

In the morning, she stayed with the female workers, and in the afternoon, Li Damao, Li Ermao, and Zhao Xiaodou would play with her.

But she still wanted to see Chang Zhan very much. For this reason, she would cry from time to time.

"Cui Cui!" Chang Duan picked up Chang Cui, his eyes red.

He had watched Chang Cui grow up, and this was the first time he had been away from Chang Cui for so long... He also missed Chang Cui.

Chang Duan stood aside and looked at his two relatives helplessly.

At this time, Li Qingzhi noticed two large boats parked outside, and they were crowded with people.

"Those workers are these?" Li Qingzhi asked Chang Duan. He heard Chang Duan say that some workers in the quarry wanted to follow them.

Li Qing insisted on this.

He couldn't trust the workers hired from outside, but these workers were definitely trustworthy.

But his house can't accommodate so many people.

Li Qingzhi looked at Chang Duan: "I have a shop and house outside the city. You can live there. Should you go now or wait?"

Chang Duan glanced at his daughter and said, "Go over now."

In fact, on the way here, Chang Duan told Chang Zhan that he did not recognize Cuicui for the time being.

It might be dangerous for him to go to the capital. If something happened to him after they met... How uncomfortable would Cuicui be?

Moreover, he will be very busy during this period and will not be able to take care of Cuicui.

Li Qingzhi also saw that Chang Duan did not intend to recognize his daughter. He told Jin Xiaoye, got on the boat, and took the two people on the boat to the new dock.

These people can live in Zhu Qian's house and help print books, which is very good.

On the way, Li Qingzhi not only gave directions, but also talked to Chang Duan and asked about the situation in Linhu County.

Magistrate Zhang has tried all the people who need to be interrogated, and he has also returned all the fields that were occupied by the Lou family.

As for the remaining fields of the Lou family... Magistrate Zhang confiscated them and rented them to the landless people in Linhu County at low prices. The rent will only be paid after the grain is harvested.

Magistrate Zhang knew that he would not be able to get any favors next, but the Lou family's reputation in Linhu County had been disgraced. As long as King Jin was not stupid, he would not be able to take those fields back.

That could spark outrage.

As Chang Duan talked, he mentioned the situation of the Lou family: "Prefect Zhang has released the women and children of the Lou family who have not committed any crimes, and they are preparing to go to Beijing to file a complaint."

Nowadays, everyone in Linhu County is calling for beatings for the Lou family. If they really want to continue to stay here... then they will not only be thrown rotten eggs by others, but there may also be people who have been oppressed by them in the past. Suddenly Come out and stab them.

They will definitely leave, and it is reasonable to go to Beijing to complain.

Their backer, King Jin, was in the capital.

Li Qing insisted: "We must hurry up..."

People in the capital don't know the specific situation in Linhu County. If public opinion is wrong by then, Magistrate Zhang will be in trouble.

The two ships soon docked near the new dock.

Li Qingzhi had been here before, and Zhu Qian told him the location and gave him the key today... He took these people and found the house that Zhu Qian gave him.

Fortunately, it gets dark late recently, and there is still light at this time, otherwise... those workers have been malnourished for a long time, and most of them cannot see clearly after dark.

Everyone carried various things into the house, including a lot of typefaces placed in small wooden compartments, which could not be moved all in one trip.

After entering, Li Qingzhi found that the house Zhu Qian gave him was quite large, and its layout was similar to that of Jinye Embroidery Workshop.

The front of this house can be used as a pawn shop, and the back can be occupied by people. It has a little more rooms than Jinye Embroidery House, and even the stove is built, but there is no pot inside.

Li Qingzhi wanted to bring two pots to his house, but Chang Duan refused: "We have eaten on the way, we can just eat tomorrow, there is no rush."

The workers who followed agreed.

They prepared some food when they left Linhu County and had already eaten.

In addition to Chang Duan, there were thirty-three workers present, twenty-one of whom Li Qingzhi knew.

It had only been a year since he left the quarry.

Li Qingzhi called out their names.

The workers were shocked: "Who are you?"

"I'm Xiao Li." Li Qingzhi smiled and began to reminisce with these people. At the same time, he also told about the letter he wrote to Magistrate Zhang.

He wants to conquer these people quickly.

The original owner was not annoying when he was at the quarry, and Li Qingzhi did a lot of things this year - if it weren't for him, Prefect Zhang would not have investigated the quarry, and these workers would not have been rescued.

These workers are very grateful to Li Qingzhi.

"Xiao Zhou, I had no strength at the beginning and was almost crushed by a stone. Fortunately, you were there..." Li Qingzhi told the things in his memory one by one, which moved the workers even more.

Li Qingzhi knew that if there was no accident, they would not betray him.

That's good.

Li Qingzhi had a lot to do, so he didn't stay here long and walked back to Chongcheng County.

That night, after Jin Xiaoye fell asleep, Li Qingzhi wrote for a long time.

Chang Zhan did not go to the new dock and took Chang Cui to live in the guest room of Jinye Embroidery Fang.

He couldn't sleep because of the ups and downs in his mood. When he got up in the middle of the night, he saw that the light in Li Qingzhi's study was still on.

Li Qingzhi worked really hard, and he had to go all out.

The next day, Chang Duan took a boat to the county seat, bought a large amount of grain, picked up Chang Zhan, and then returned to the new dock and started printing books with the workers.

Printing a book is not easy, but it is not that troublesome - Chang Duan and Chang Zhan select the typefaces, arrange the layout, and the workers can start printing...

This time when he went to the capital, Chang Duan planned to take the leaders of the laborers in the quarry with him.

This man is also literate and can help him.

He had even planned for the two of them to finish the binding of these books on the road, and it didn't matter how good the binding was.

In this case, they can print more books in the next few days!

Li Qingzhi and Chang Zhan Chang Duan were so busy that they were dizzy. At this time, the memorial written by Magistrate Zhang after taking control of the quarry was finally sent to the capital.

If Hexing Prefecture's urgent official document travels 800 miles, it can reach the capital in four days.

However, this cannot be used under normal circumstances, and Magistrate Zhang was not in a hurry to let people in the capital know what he had done... His memorial arrived in the capital on the eighth day after he sent it.

The emperor's health was not good and his eyesight was not good, so he no longer read the memorials very much. Lu Qingxi read all the memorials first, and then selected the important ones and sent them to the saint to read.

Lu Qingxi often made slanderous remarks in front of the emperor. It was only after he cried and complained that the emperor demoted Magistrate Zhang and sent Magistrate Zhang to Hexing Mansion.

But he never hid anything from the emperor.

He knew very well that all his power came from the emperor, and he must not hurt the emperor's affection for him. Therefore, he would read to the emperor any memorial that should be read to him, and was never good at making opinions.

It was also because of this that the emperor trusted him so much that he even sent some officials outside the capital because he didn't like them.

When he learned that Magistrate Zhang had sent a memorial, Lu Qingxi snorted coldly and said angrily: "Does this guy want His Majesty to be exempted from taxes again? A place as rich as Hexing Prefecture must be exempted from taxes. What about other places?"

While talking, Lu Qingxi opened the memorial sent by Magistrate Zhang.

At this sight... Lu Qingxi almost jumped up from his seat.

"My Majesty!" Lu Qing was overjoyed and ran to the emperor's residence with this memorial.

He deliberately sent Magistrate Zhang to Hexing Mansion, hoping that Magistrate Zhang would cause some trouble for King Jin.

But he actually didn't have much hope and had even given up on the idea.

He was thinking that when Magistrate Zhang's term was over, he would send Magistrate Zhang to a poor place to become a magistrate.

As for which poor place...his hometown is pretty good.

This man still has some talent, so let him go to his hometown and help the people in his hometown live a better life!

Thinking of his hometown, Lu Qingxi sighed.

His hometown is really poor, even if it is poor, there will be floods from time to time.

When he was eight years old, there was a flood in his hometown, and their family had no income... His parents couldn't survive, so they had to sell him - he was the eldest child in the family, and his younger brother was only four years old, and there was no one at all. purchase.

His parents wanted him to work as a servant in a wealthy family. They thought it would be good for him to have enough to eat. Who would have thought that he would be sold around and eventually end up in the palace.

When he gained some power, he wanted to go back and find his family. He also thought about having a son who would succeed his younger brother, but unfortunately he didn't find one.

Lu Qingxi is now in her forties and has long given up on the idea of finding a younger brother, but she still has some feelings for her hometown.

Because of this, there was a flood in his hometown five years ago. He cried several times in front of the emperor and asked the emperor to send a lot of relief money. Unfortunately, the money was embezzled by the people of King Jin, and he had no proof!

Lu Qingxi took back her wandering thoughts and felt better again.

Magistrate Zhang gave him a big surprise! He actually found evidence that the King of Jin was amassing money in Hexing Mansion and harming the people!

At the beginning of the founding of the Qi Dynasty, the emperor at that time issued an order not to dig up the Lihu Stone. Not only did the King of Jin dig it, he even robbed people everywhere to dig it, killing more than a thousand people!

When Lu Qingxi arrived at the emperor's palace, the joy on his face had faded away, leaving only sadness. Then he shouted in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, King Jin has gone too far!"

The emperor was in poor health and did not like to go out and walk around. He spent most of his time in the palace.

He was listening to someone read a story when Lu Qingxi howled, and was startled by the sudden sound.

Then, he looked helplessly at the door: "Old Lu, what's wrong?"

The emperor and Lu Qingxi had known each other since childhood and had been together for nearly thirty years. Although Lu Qingxi was just a eunuch, it was different to him.

There are fewer and fewer people close to him.

"Your Majesty, the King of Jin did something heinous in Hexing Mansion!" Lu Qingxi handed the emperor Zhang Zhifu's memorial and started talking to the emperor.

The emperor's eyesight was bad, but he was not completely blind.

After looking at the memorial, he knew that it was indeed written by Magistrate Zhang. When Lu Qingxi said this, he was a little unhappy and felt even more sympathetic to the people who had been murdered.

Lu Qingxi noticed the emperor's mood.

His Majesty has nothing wrong with him except that he is too soft-hearted.

If His Majesty hadn't been soft-hearted, the son born by King Jin and the woman who harmed His Majesty would not have always lived well.

"Your Majesty, those people are so miserable. This old slave comes from a poor background, and he hates to see the people suffer." Lu Qingxi kept applying eye drops to the King of Jin, and even sobbed and pretended to cry.

"Prince Jin has indeed passed the test and deserves some punishment," the emperor said, then looked helplessly at Lu Qingxi, "Don't cry either." He could tell at a glance that Lu Qingxi was pretending to cry, and the sound gave him a headache.

Lu Qing was so happy that he stopped crying and asked the emperor what he wanted to do with King Jin.

The emperor said: "This is the case because his men didn't handle the matter well... let him think about his mistakes behind closed doors and fine him some money."

Lu Qingxi was dissatisfied and felt that the punishment was too light.

But he also knew that the emperor planned to let King Jin succeed him, so he always showed mercy to King Jin.

But if he does this well, he can always make King Jin lose his prestige!

He really didn't want King Jin to succeed to the throne. It would be best to choose a child from the clan, so that he would still be a majestic nine thousand years old in the future.

The emperor did show mercy to King Jin.

He is a person who values feelings, not only for Lu Qingxi, but also for his concubines and two daughters in his harem.

His queen is gone, but there are still several concubines who have been with him for many years, especially the imperial concubine... The imperial concubine is the maid who has served him since he was a child. She is two years older than him and is no longer young now.

He wanted to make her a queen, but unfortunately the ministers in the court kept preventing him from making her a queen because she had never given birth...

If when he dies, his concubine still does not become the queen, will the next emperor treat her badly?

The emperor sighed and planned to visit the imperial concubine.

Lu Qingxi came out from the emperor's side and immediately handed a message to the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine is on the same side as him, and she doesn't like Prince Jin either!

As for why the imperial concubine doesn't like King Jin... When His Majesty first ascended the throne, the old King Jin took charge of the government, and they suffered a lot!

Li Qingzhi knew nothing about the affairs in the capital.

He kept writing books every day, and when he was done, he would ask Chang Zhan to send them to Chang Duan.

Chang Zhan and Chang Duan were stunned.

Li Qing wrote the book too fast!

There are three people in charge of typesetting here, but they can't even arrange it!

They dare not ask others for help...

"Is Li Qingzhi's health okay?" Chang Duan asked Chang Zhan.

Li Qingzhi writes so many words every day, can he bear it? He felt that if he were to copy it, he would not be able to copy so many words in one day.

"There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him, it's just... he seems to have lost some weight." Chang Zhan said, Li Qingzhi eats a lot every day, but he probably consumes too much. Instead of getting fat, he seems to have lost weight.

"Sigh... It's a pity that we can't arrange it here. I can only copy what he wrote and the rest of the story a few times on the way to the capital. I'll see if anyone can help print it when I get there." Chang Duan said.

Li Qingzhi soon knew the problems faced by Chang Duan and Chang Zhan.

He thought for a while and told Jin Xiaoye that he would go to the new dock to write a book during the day instead.

In addition to writing the book, he also helped with typesetting.

He has a photographic memory, can always quickly find the type to be used, and never makes a mistake... He alone can type faster than the other three people combined.

Chang Duan and Chang Zhan: "..." Why is Li Qingzhi so powerful? Is he really human?

Chapter 130 Capital City

There are only five days left before the Shen family's caravan leaves for the capital.

In the early morning, Li Qingzhi stopped writing and pressed his shoulder.

These days, after Jin Xiaoye falls asleep, he will come to the study to write, and then go back to sleep in the morning.

In order to avoid being discovered, he even found a curtain and hung it in front of the study window to prevent the light from shining through. He quietly returned to the bedroom and saw that Jin Xiaoye hadn't woken up yet... Li Qingzhi lay down next to Jin Xiaoye and slept deeply for an hour.

When he woke up, Jin Xiaoye was no longer there.

He went downstairs to the kitchen and saw Jin Xiaoye cooking noodles.

"Where did the noodles come from?" Li Qingzhi asked curiously.

Making noodles is quite troublesome. Jin Xiaoye has never done it before. Even if he makes pasta, he still makes gnocchi, or mixes it into a paste and spreads it out into pancakes.

Jin Xiaoye said: "I ordered it from the noodle shop, and dad brought it to me early in the morning."

The noodle restaurants in the county all make their own noodles, and some noodle restaurants also sell raw noodles to takeaways.

She only found out about this yesterday, and then ordered some - Li Qingzhi is very busy recently, so she can give him something to eat

Delicious tonic.

Li Laogen brought the noodles back for her. After taking them, Li Laogen couldn't wait and went out to drink tea. Since coming to the county town, Li Laogen has changed a lot.

Seeing that all the old men in the city were cleanly dressed, he began to pay attention to his dressing and changed some bad habits.

As for gambling... Li Qingzhi approached Li Laogen privately and said that Li Laogen's gambling would affect his imperial examination, so he would not want Li Laogen as his father.

Li Laogen was scared. If Li Qingzhi changes his father, what will he do? He simply doesn't dare to gamble anymore!

As time passed, he still found gambling boring.

How nice it would be to go to a teahouse to drink tea in the morning and brag about eating noodles!

If you still have extra money, buy a few pieces of candy for Li Damao, Li Ermao and Zhao Xiaodou to eat, and the three children will still be close to him!

As for Chang Cui... Li Laogen will not buy candy for Chang Cui. This girl has nothing to do with him. Why would he give candy to others? Might as well eat it yourself.

Jin Xiaoye cooked a pot of pickled mustard and shredded pork soup in advance, put the cooked noodles in, and it was their breakfast!

Immediately afterwards, she scooped the remaining noodles into an empty bowl, added lard and soy sauce, mixed it, and brought it to the female workers.

Female workers will use the noodles as a dish to accompany porridge.

In their opinion, mixed noodles are still a very good dish.

While Li Qingzhi was having breakfast, Chang Zhan came out of the house with Cuicui.

Since Chang Zhan returned to Chongcheng County, Cuicui has lived with Chang Zhan, while Li Damao and Li Ermao have stayed in the same house as before.

They had two beds, but they only slept on one, and there were blocks and a chessboard on the other bed.

Chang Zhan and Cuicui ate noodles with them. Chang Cui looked very cute when he took a spoon and tried to eat the noodles...

Li Qingzhi smiled and went to chat with Jin Xiaoye.

He was very interested in the affairs of the East and the West.

"The matter between Miss Qu and Xu Qifei has been decided, but they will have to wait until the hospital examination before getting married. In the next few months, Sister Wang and Mrs. Xu do not plan to let them meet, so as not to affect Xu Qifei..." Jin Xiaoye muttered .

Li Qingzhi felt that it didn't matter whether it affected him or not.

Xu Qifei is too young, less than 18 years old. In addition, he is not born in a scholarly family and has not received the best education since he was a child... He can pass the county and government examinations, but it will be difficult to pass the next college examination. .

Unless he gets lucky.

Zhu Xunmiao's knowledge was better than that of Xu Qifei - Li Xiucai gave Zhu Xunmiao guidance far more times than anyone else.

But it was right to let Xu Qifei study hard and get married after a while. He felt that Sister Wang's daughter was a bit too young.

After talking about Sister Wang's daughter, Jin Xiaoye mentioned the Fang family again: "Jin Niang is not very happy these days. Her mother is looking for a husband for Xiu Niang, and she also wants a gift of one hundred taels of silver..."

"What's going on? Doesn't their family rely on the embroiderer's needlework to support the family?" Li Qingzhi frowned.

Fang Xiu Niang's ability to make money is not bad. Marrying Fang Xiu Niang is tantamount to killing the goose that takes the egg.

Jin Xiaoye said: "Who knows! They want so much money, but no one is willing to marry Fang Xiu Niang."

Fang Xiu Niang is very beautiful, but Fang Zijian's reputation is very bad now. Who from a wealthy family would want to marry Fang Xiu Niang?

As for ordinary families... not every family can afford so much money.

Even if it can be taken out... A girl like Sister Wang's daughter is not better than Fang Xiu Niang? Sister Wang doesn't want so many colorful gifts!

Sister Wang told Mrs. Xu that all the betrothal gifts given by the Xu family would be used as dowry for her daughter.

Jinye Embroidery Shop was full of fireworks. After having breakfast, Li Qingzhi felt that he had been resurrected with full blood, so he followed Chang Zhan to the new pier.

When the two arrived there, Chang Duan and the labor leaders were already selecting types for typesetting.

The leader of these workers was named Feng, and everyone called him Feng Da. He was the son of a prostitute in Linhu County. I don't know who his father was.

He grew up in a brothel. The brothel madam liked him very much and taught him how to read.

When he was eighteen years old, a steward of the Lou family came to the brothel to have fun and made his mother black and blue. After that, his mother lay in bed for several days and burned to death.

He definitely wanted revenge, so he took a kitchen knife and went to find the steward... Unfortunately, he failed to kill the person and was sent to the quarry.

He went to the quarry a little later than Li Qingzhi, but he has been there for more than four years now. He became the leader of these workers because he was good at swimming and catching fish with his bare hands.

It's not good to eat raw fish, but these workers have fallen into this situation, so naturally they won't reject it... After he catches the fish, he will eat it himself and give it to others.

But the guards were watching them closely. It was not easy for them to catch fish while digging rocks.

Feng Da had no relatives, and the steward had been killed by Magistrate Zhang... He followed Chang Duan to Chongcheng County.

Seeing Li Qingzhi and Chang Zhan coming, Chang Duan and Feng Dal hurriedly greeted them. At this time, a very thin worker came out of the kitchen and said he could have breakfast.

"You guys go and eat quickly." Li Qing insisted, and after finishing speaking, he started writing a story.

He plans to stop writing after today's writing, and will help with typesetting and printing in the next few days.

At first he wanted to write 200,000 words, but then he thought it was unnecessary.

One hundred and fifty thousand words is enough! These stories are not long, 150,000 words, and a full fifteen stories have been included.

With three stories in one book, they could bind five books.

There are more than thirty people here, and Chang Duan is the one with the best cooking skills, but he has never cooked before.

He has more important things to do.

They left the cooking to the weakest among them, while the others were busy printing books.

As a result, the taste of the cooked food is naturally not very good, but no one is picky and everyone eats happily.

Compared with what they had eaten before, this was extremely delicious!

They eat from a big pot but live on the floor, but they are full of hope for the future.

Chang Duan told them that after he goes to the capital in a few days, Chang Zhan will stay here to open a braised food shop, and they can all stay and help cook and sell braised food.

By then, their lives would have settled down.

After everyone had eaten, they continued to be busy. After Li Qingzhi had been writing for an hour, he also got up to help find type for typesetting, and by the way, he put the used type back into the type grid - this made it easier for Chang to help them find words.

So busy until noon, Li Qingzhi stayed here to have lunch.

The lunch here is similar to what Jin Xiaoye made when he traveled through time.

Put cowpeas, eggplants and rice in a pot and cook them together to make a very dry vegetable porridge. Add salted fish and it's a complete meal.

The salted fish is still pickled small fish. The salt used is obviously not very good, and it has a bitter taste.

But no one cared about it, even Li Qingzhi didn't dislike it at all.

Chang Duan admired Li Qingzhi even more.

Li Qingzhi, a promising civil servant, was actually willing to eat such food...

After eating, everyone continued to be busy.

Beijing.

Lu Qingxi is in a good mood these days.

Ever since he received the report from Magistrate Zhang to the capital, saying that the King of Jin sent people to dig stones in Lihu Lake and harm the people, he mocked the King of Jin in the court.

The emperor also reprimanded King Jin for being lax in his duties, cut off King Jin's salary, and made King Jin shut up and think about it for a month.

Logically speaking, if this matter was not investigated clearly, the King of Jin would not be punished so quickly, but it is not a secret that the King of Jin is engaged in the Lihu Stone business. Some officials in the capital, and even the natal family of a concubine in the emperor's harem, followed the Jin Dynasty when building a house. Wang bought Lihu stone!

There was nothing to investigate in this matter, and King Jin directly confessed his crime. However, he argued that he knew nothing about the harm to the people, so he was only given the title of "lax in his imperial duties."

The punishment was not serious, but because Lu Qingxi jumped up and down and publicized what King Jin had done at Lihu Lake, King Jin's reputation was greatly damaged.

Recently, the people in the capital are saying that King Jin is too unkind to kill people just to make money.

"This little bastard deserves it! He has thrown dirty water on me before!" Lu Qingxi cursed King Jin in front of his confidants.

He was not a good person. In order to keep the emperor in power, after the death of the old King Jin, he helped the emperor deal with many officials from King Jin's line. Many of these people were innocent.

He also does a lot to eliminate dissidents. If someone keeps targeting him, he will definitely take revenge.

But he felt that the immoral things he did were far inferior to those of King Jin. At least he did not kill more than a thousand people just to make money.

His reputation is so bad all because of King Jin!

Over the years, the bad things he has done, even if they are just a little bit, will be forgotten by King Jin.

It needs to be publicized online!

In addition, he is an eunuch and is not lovable... the scholars in the capital don't want to see him.

"Zhenzhu, if you handle this well, if King Jin does something bad in the future, we will help him publicize it!" Lu Qingxi looked at Shopkeeper Mu with a smile, and Shopkeeper Mu's famous name was Pearl.

Shopkeeper Mu smiled sweetly: "Don't worry, Mr. Qiansui, Yanran will definitely make it impossible for Prince Jin to wipe his butt clean in the future."

"Okay! Okay!" Lu Qingxi was so satisfied with his fellow countryman!

At first, when his men introduced Mu Zhenzhu, he thought that person was going to give him a woman.

Mu Zhenzhu is really good-looking, right? Even if he has no descendants, he is still a man, and people always give him women.

As a result, Mu Zhenzhu said that she could do business... It happened that he was not interested in women, so he asked her to give it a try.

A few years later, Mu Zhenzhu not only did a good job in business, but also contacted some people from all walks of life who could help him inquire about news in the capital and spread rumors about King Jin.

So capable! He even wants to recognize his daughter!

Lu Qingxi talked with these confidants and then went into the palace.

He still has many memorials to deal with.

After entering the palace, the people around Lu Qingxi said: "Master Qiansui, the magistrate Zhang of Hexing Mansion has sent another memorial."

"He has sent another memorial? Come and show it to me." Lu Qingxi was very happy. "Even if he is wise, I can't give him a promotion..."

While talking, Lu Qingxi opened the memorial in his hand.

After opening it and reading a few lines, Lu Qingxi became even happier.

At the beginning of this memorial, Magistrate Zhang said that the Linhu County magistrate and the uncle's family of the King of Jin were collaborating, making Linhu County's people miserable!

He really did the right thing by sending Magistrate Zhang to Hexing Mansion!

"This piece of Zhiru's literary talent is really good, and the Lou family is described as extremely hateful! The people of Linhu County are so miserable!" Lu Qingxi said this, but there was no sympathy on his face, only joy.

The people in Linhu County are miserable, but he is not miserable? Isn't his family miserable?

He doesn't have much time to sympathize with others.

Lu Qingxi stood up and looked for the emperor.

If King Jin did such a thing, His Majesty must punish him severely!

As well as the Lou family and Magistrate Yan... when the time comes, we will find an imperial envoy to come over and punish them all!

Thinking about how to deal with King Jin, Lu Qingxi continued to look down.

Before meeting the emperor, he must read the excerpts so that he can have something to say in front of the emperor.

Then... Lu Qingxi stumbled and almost fell.

"Nine thousand years old?" Two young eunuchs came to help him quickly.

Lu Qingxi took a deep breath, stood still and continued reading. After reading it, he was dumbfounded.

Is Zhang Zhiru crazy? He actually killed Magistrate Yan and most of the Lou family!

God, normal people really can't do this kind of thing!

When he read the memorial, Lu Qingxi knew that Magistrate Yan would definitely be in bad luck, but the Lou family might not be in trouble.

As long as the fault is placed on the subordinates and Magistrate Yan, the Lou family will be fine in the end.

After all, it was the home of the Queen Mother of Jin.

As for Magistrate Zhang, he will probably be hated by King Jin. When this matter subsides, King Jin will definitely find a way to deal with Magistrate Zhang.

He was still thinking that he could help Magistrate Zhang. As a result... Magistrate Zhang actually beheaded the Lou family and County Magistrate Yan?

In this way, he would have a deadly feud with King Jin!

He killed a county magistrate by a prefect, and he acted even more wantonly!

This matter...he can't get rid of it!

Lu Qingxi was in a complicated mood. After coming to the emperor, he was not in a hurry to speak.

"Lao Lu, what's wrong with you?" the emperor asked.

Lu Qingxi said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, Zhang Zhiru is in big trouble!"

"What happened to him?" asked the emperor.

"Your Majesty, he killed a county magistrate of Hexing Prefecture!" Lu Qingxi told all the things that Magistrate Zhang said in the document.

The emperor was stunned.

The two of them studied the memorial together, and Lu Qingxi asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do about this! I can't make up my mind!"

The emperor sighed: "The Lou family must have really committed many evil deeds, which is why they let him do such a thing, but now..."

"Your Majesty, the Jin royal party will definitely demand severe punishment for the old man Zhang Zhiru in the court, and they may even throw dirty water on him..." Lu Qingxi said: "I have always disliked him, but thinking that he would lose his life because of this, I still feel unbearable..."

Lu Qingxi had calmed down by now.

Then he realized that wasn't such a bad thing.

If it is handled well, King Jin's reputation will definitely be damaged again!

It's a pity that Zhang Zhiru is the person.

The emperor sighed: "There is no way to excuse what he did... You send people to Hexing Mansion to investigate. As for this secret... I won't comment on it for now. By the way, these few days The weather has changed suddenly and I feel unwell, so I will not go to court for the next period of time."

When the emperor was young, he saw Zhang Zhiru in high spirits.

Later, Zhang Zhiru offended the old King of Jin and was exiled, and his wife and children died... He sympathized with Zhang Zhiru very much.

After the old Jin King died suddenly, he re-activated Zhang Zhiru.

Zhang Zhiru, who had been exiled for several years, was much more stable, but for some unknown reason, he actually started to cause trouble for Lu Qingxi.

The emperor was also in a dilemma. Between the two, he favored Lu Qingxi more, so he followed Lu Qingxi's suggestion and asked Zhang Zhiru to become the prefect of Jiangnan.

I didn't expect that Zhang Zhiru had such a bad temper and killed so many people.

The emperor couldn't think of a solution, so he had to send someone to investigate first. At the same time, he excused his illness and put the matter on hold for the time being.

"Your Majesty is merciful!" Lu Qing said happily.

The emperor smiled and felt that Lu Qingxi was very kind - Lu Qingxi clearly had a grudge against Magistrate Zhang, but he did not add insult to injury.
