Infrastructure masters in the red building

On the day when the large group of bandits attacked, all the neighbors in the four fields flocked to Wuyuan County to take refuge.Wuyuan County closed the Sifang City Gate, and the county sent Xiangyong to patrol the city wall.

Seeing the direction of the villages and towns under the jurisdiction of Wuyuan County, some houses were lit and smoke rose.Even if the townspeople are angry, there is nothing they can do.

The bandits passed by Wuyuan County in a show of power and turned towards the direction of Taoyuan Village.When this news was reported to the Wuyuan County Government, Yuan Hua was frightened to death.He is responsible for guarding the land, and the second-rank officials who are located in Wu Yuan are also responsible.

On the contrary, Zheng Boyi and Nan Yongqian were calmer, they only knew that Master Jia had already prepared in Taoyuan Village, so they would not be trapped by these bandits.

The Liu family originally had a big house in Wuyuan County.At this time, like other big families, all the old and weak women and children of the Liu family were gathered in the members of the Liu family, and the doors were closed tightly.All the young and strong children gathered together and distributed weapons. If Wuyuan City were to be destroyed, they would fight to the death to protect the women and children of the Liu family.

From the perspective of the elders of the Liu family, only the women and children of the Liu family were women and children in Wuyuan County, and the Liu family didn't care what happened to the women and children of other families.

Patriarch Liu Shihan led the elders to inspect the Liu family mansion.Seeing that most of the young disciples were nervous, Liu Shihan comforted him with gentle words: "Don't be afraid... Wu Yuan has a city wall, and it will definitely last for a while."

Even if the Zhao family wanted to co-operate internally and externally to trick open the city gate, they would have to guard for a few days at first, pretending to be.

"The days of defending the city were very tormented. Thirty years ago, I defended the city for more than half a year before waiting for reinforcements. At that time, all the food in the city was eaten up, and the whole city was hungry. The big households are all discussing whether they should rush out or change their sons..." The head of the Liu clan and his brothers all experienced the thrilling experience at the beginning, and when they recounted it at this time, Liu Shihan's face was heavy, and Liu Shilin's face Muscles are twitching.

Most of the Liu family's children were frightened by this terrible prospect, and the young people were at a loss with self-defense weapons in their hands.

Liu Shihan could only say: "Not this time... definitely not this time."

This time the Zhao family will definitely find a way to open the gate of Wuyuan County, so the pain will only hurt for a moment, and the matter will pass.

Indeed, as he said, the bandits this time seemed to be more afraid of the strong city walls of Wuyuan County. They gathered outside the city in twos and threes to have a look, and then slowly passed in the direction of Taoyuan Village.

When Liu Shihan got the news from outside, he applauded loudly in his heart: It's a good way to draw salary from the bottom.

The transformation in the Wuyuan area began with Jia Fang, and Jia Fang came from Taoyuan Village.When bandits destroyed Taoyuan Village, they broke Jia Fang's foundation.

So the Liu family stayed in Wuyuan County with peace of mind, waiting for the "good news" from Taoyuan Village.

That afternoon, there were three loud bangs in Taoyuan Village.The people in Wuyuan County could also hear it clearly.After that, wounded and wounded bandits continued to escape from the direction of Taoyuan Village and fled to the foot of Wuyuan County.

That night, there was a fire in the direction of Taoyuan Village, but the fire was not big.People who often come and go to Taoyuan went to the city wall of Wuyuan County to see it, and said that the wooden rails were set on fire, but other than that, it seemed that there was no serious problem.

Dozens of bandits supported each other and fled to the foot of Wuyuan City along the ignited fire along the wooden rails.

Xue Jing, a quartermaster from the Pingnan Camp, reported the situation to Yuan Hua, the county lord, and Yuan Hua ordered to quietly open a city gate in Wuyuan County. , brought back to the city for interrogation, only to find out that this group of bandits suffered a "major setback" in Taoyuan Village, did not get any cheap money, and even did not grab today's rations, and withdrew from Taoyuan Village hungry.

The news spread in Wuyuan County, the common people all smiled and said: "Master Jia, the Jiedu Envoy, must have some skills, otherwise how could he be this Jiedu Envoy at such a young age?"

With the retreat of this wave of bandits, Wuyuan County reopened its city gates.The people who originally took refuge in the city returned to their hometowns to check the details of the damage in various places, and then reported back to the county.Postal services and businesses are slowly recovering.

This time, the bandits in Yong'an Prefecture seemed to have a lot of thunder and little rain. After being hit head-on by Taoyuan Village, the bandits immediately retreated.

The elders of the Liu family, especially Liu Shilin, never expected that bandits would be so bad, and Taoyuan Village would be so powerful.

Liu Shihan and Liu Shilin sat in the Liu family mansion and thought about it for a long time, but Liu Shihan was puzzled: "That's not right!"

"You and I both know that this is not an ordinary bandit... How can you not even do anything to a small Taoyuan Village?"

Liu Shilin suddenly slapped the table: "I see..."

He hadn't finished speaking, and he hadn't had time to explain to the patriarch what he knew, when suddenly, chaos broke out in the Liu family mansion.There were screams of women and children from all directions, followed by shouts and fights.

The room where Liu Shihan and Liu Shilin were staying was opened with a "bang", and a member of the Liu family rushed in, shouting: "Madam uncle, you are from the county government..."

This is a young junior, before he finished speaking, he was hit by a sap in the back, and immediately fell forward and fell in front of Liu Shihan.

Two county magistrates came in from the door, and Liu Shilin stood up holding the table.

If it was the past, when people in the Gongmen saw him as an old scribe, they would salute respectfully and call him "Uncle Liu".But after the last water change, most of the current county magistrates are newcomers with diplomas in their hands, and they don't follow the old routine very much, and they don't have much respect for the old people in the previous yamen.

When the two county officials saw Liu Shihan and Liu Shilin, they saluted first for the sake of their age, and then said in a business-like manner: "You two Liu lords, the county magistrate invites you two to the county government office to cooperate with the investigation."

Liu Shihan laughed, and said: "What are you talking about so politely, just say that the magistrate of the county has convicted the grass-roots people, and he is the one who wants to arrest the grass-minds in the yamen to eat in prison."

Who knew that the two county magistrates shook their heads and said, "The county lord has said that you two haven't been in court yet, so you can't be convicted, you are just suspects."

"Suspect?" Liu Shihan and Liu Shilin looked at each other, thinking that this term was new.

"Then he's passed the court again?" Liu Shilin said, pointing at the Liu family's younger brother who had been shot in the back, "You hit him when you came up?"

The two county magistrates said: "According to Article No. 17 of the work manual of the county government officials, his behavior just now is a violent resistance to the law, and he refuses to cooperate. A warning should be given on the spot. If the warning is invalid, a non-fatal blow will be given to the other party. These are in the He had already advertised it when he entered the door just now, but he himself didn’t listen.”

Seeing the county officials in front of him saying one thing after another, Liu Shilin thought that these guys were indeed different from before.In the past, when the officials of the county government wanted to arrest someone, they were beaten violently when they came up, but now they are willing to spend so much time talking - in the eyes of ordinary people, the behavior of these county officials seems to be more "regular".

However, the Liu family was bullied. This kind of "rules" was nothing in Liu Shilin's eyes.He ordered his two disciples to defend him, and then led the patriarch Liu Shihan to escape, rushing out of the Liu family from the back door of the Liu family ancestral hall——

In the alley at the back door of the Liu family ancestral hall, a man carrying water came for some reason. Seeing the two elders of the Liu family rushing all the way, he panicked and threw his pole across the narrow alley.

Liu Shihan ordered him to turn around quickly. The man panicked and quickly picked up the pole and turned to the other side. Unexpectedly, the bucket was heavy and turned to the other side unsteadily. The old way of the clan.

Liu Shilin looked at the yamen servants who were chasing after him, and knew that it would be difficult to escape this time, so he finally said to his clan brother: "Don't recruit the Zhao family——"

Liu Shihan understood right away, and before he could nod his head, he was caught by the yamen servants from behind and sent to the county yamen jail.

This time, the head of the Liu family was blocked in the Liu family's mansion and sent to the county jail.When the Liu family's women and children stayed in the mansion and were at a loss, Liu Lixing came in with a few county officials and pointed out where Liu Minghua and Liu Shilin kept their documents and correspondence. Those county officials searched them out and sent them all to the county.

At this time, Liu Shilin's wife suddenly shouted in a sharp voice: "Liu Lixing, you...you will die badly, your ancestors will not survive in the underground for eighteen generations—"

Liu Lixing's eyes were cold, and he glanced at the women and children like this, everyone fell silent immediately, and dared not speak again.

I saw that the pupils of Liu Lixing's eyes shrank slightly, staring at Liu Shilin's family, and said in a cold voice: "Coincidentally, I also hope that the eighteen generations of my ancestors will not live in peace underground, so I will come up and ask you, ask Ask the people of the Liu family how they ruined the good Liu family like this!"

Only then did Liu Shilin's family remember: Liu Lixing's ancestors were eighteen generations old, and he was also the eighteenth generation ancestors of the rest of the Liu family.

"The magistrate of the county has already said that the Liu family has always committed crimes. Anyone else who doesn't know about it has nothing to do with this case. Don't worry." Liu Lixing looked very solemn and straightened his body. I will invite everyone to go over and testify. At that time, if there are still people who deliberately conceal, hide stolen goods, or even perjure testimonies, even I... can't help you at all. Please do your own thing."

After finishing speaking, Liu Lixing was about to leave, but who knew that at this time, there was a branch child like him in the Liu family, who burst into tears and begged loudly: "Lixing... Lixing, we also want to leave the Liu family like you, but there is nowhere to go ..."

Liu Lixing paused, then turned around and said, "If you really want to leave the Liu family, you can consider applying to move to Taoyuan Village after this banditry is completely over. I can guarantee you."

"However, those who move to Taoyuanzhai are limited to 'nuclear families', that is, monogamous couples, plus children who are underage in the family, and no one else is allowed to bring them... At most, they can bring an old mother who has no one to support them. "

After Liu Lixing explained the meaning of "nuclear family", the offshoots of the Liu family hesitated for a while—it sounded like a big clan that was separated from the Liu family, but there was only one family. There is no influence, who dares to be honest!

Liu Shilin's family immediately screamed: "Chou Chou, I just tricked you all to Taoyuan Village. When you get there, those who don't know the place well are being bullied by others?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Lixing said three points very briefly: "In Taoyuan Village, first, children go to school for free, second, adults from the village help find jobs, and third, homesteads are given away when they move."

God!It turned out to be a homestead—all the offshoots of the Liu family were immediately moved.The first two items mentioned by Liu Lixing do sound beautiful, but they don't sound like the homestead.

You know, those offshoots of the Liu family used to live in the huts near the Liu family, and some of them had to spend money to rent the house of the Liu family.In the past few days, there was a bandit scene, and everyone had no choice but to beg the Liu family to squeeze into the Liu family compound, and they could only find an open space in a place like the firewood shed and stove.

Sending a homestead, this kind of thing sounds really... so attractive.

Liu Lixing's words were very brief, and he left immediately after speaking, never persuading him.There is no rush for this matter, after all, Wu Yuan and Taoyuan are now facing the threat of banditry, and this matter can only be discussed after the banditry has passed.But those who stayed in Liu's mansion were gradually divided into several hearts.

The offshoots of the Liu family, who were attracted by the generous conditions proposed by Taoyuan Village, will soon express their attitude clearly. They will no longer continue to support and shield the elders of the Liu family, but will gradually turn to Liu Lixing, who has risen from the younger generation. Lean over there.

Liu Shilin's family immediately stretched out their hands to cover their eyes, knowing that the man who was locked up in the county government's labor force must be in danger this time-the Liu family's heart is already in disarray!

Soon, the members of the Liu family malfeasance and fraud case team gathered for a meeting.The nominal leader of this group is Li Youwei, the master in charge of criminal names in the county.

But Li Youwei knew that he himself was more of a cover.The main driving forces of the task force are those from the "Dicui Pavilion".It is said that most of the pseudonyms used by these people are locals from Wuyuan County.But Li Youwei felt the "Taoyuan" breath in them very sensitively.

"Judging from the current interrogation of the two brothers Liu Shihan and Liu Shilin, they thought that we didn't know that the Zhao family was connected with bandits, so they avoided talking about the Zhao family at all." The person who spoke was a Chinese named Yi Ran. The young man is the direct subordinate of Jia Fang's staff member Nan Yongqian.

"But later they realized that we had already noticed that there was a problem with the Zhao family, but because there was no evidence, we couldn't do anything to the Zhao family. The two brothers were proud and kept silent, just not to say that they had a relationship with the Zhao family. What was discussed between them?"

"How is the interrogation at Liu Minghua's place?" Li Youwei coughed and asked pretendingly.In fact, he is mainly a moderator and a series of work in this meeting.

"Liu Minghua has recruited them all. But the problem is that when the Liu family and the Zhao family were colluding and discussing collusion with bandits and cooperating with outsiders, Liu Minghua himself was stimulated by Mr. Jia. Therefore, it was his two clan uncles who came forward to fight with Zhao Siqiang. We discussed it, and if Liu Shihan and Liu Shilin don't open their mouths, we won't be able to get accurate information."

"However, it can be seen from the complacency of those two people that those bandits are only retreating temporarily. The killing move against Taoyuan and Wu Yuan is definitely not the same as the previous attack - there will definitely be a second wave of offensive. "

"Second wave of attack?" Master Li turned pale with fright—the first wave of banditry had already frightened him to death, why is there a second wave?

"It should have been discussed in advance," Yi Ran explained to the "team leader", "Knowing that this time the banditry is a big one, the people in the county will be ready to fight, so let's take a feint and use a small group of bandits to go through the motions. Wait until the county relaxes, and then send out the main force, and then cooperate with the inside and outside to deceive the gate of Wuyuan County."

"It's ridiculous that the two brothers of the Liu family still think that we asked them to come back to 'investigate' to investigate the connection with bandits, and to find something to do with the Zhao family."

"During this interrogation, they will do their best to separate from the Zhao family and keep a distance—in order to convince us that the banditry has passed and there will be no second wave of offensive. In this way, perhaps after the second wave of offensive The Zhongzhao family can look at their face and save the Liu family."

Master Li heard that this staff member named Yi Ran made a reasonable analysis, and when he talked about what the Liu family was thinking, it was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.Master Li, who has been good at criminal names for many years, couldn't help but sigh to himself, thinking, where did these "Dicui Pavilion" people learn this skill, it's like they can read minds.He couldn't help feeling admiration for the members of the group before him.

"But they thought it was wrong." Yi Ran analyzed to the end, and suddenly smiled, "We don't plan to ask them about the Zhao family's gangsters in the public trial of the Liu family - anyway, the Zhao family's affairs will be targeted at the Zhao family anyway. The task force will investigate."

"What we want to ask is the felony of Liu's family hiding fish scale records, holding a county's money and food for many years, using power for personal gain, and making huge profits."

Not many days after the bandits first attacked, Wuyuan County respected Yuan Hua and tried the case in his own county government office, including Liu Shihan, Liu Shilin, and Liu Minghua.
