"How is it?" At midnight, the wind in early spring was still very cold. Because there were too many goods, the convoy selling salt was stationed in place. The men basically sat on the ground, covered with a blanket, and a few people squeezed together They kept warm and fell asleep together, while Du Changqiu slept in the carriage.

When he heard movement at night, he felt the cool air emanating from the calf, and immediately sat up.

Du Changqiu didn't fall asleep, because Fanxing was entrusted by him tonight, to go to Jin's house to deal with the tiger.

"I took it back to the mountain." Fanxing was in a bad mood, replied in a low voice.

The calf leaned over to touch Du Changqiu. In front of Du Changqiu, a very thin tiger with wounds from fighting animals appeared all over his body. The moment he saw the stars, the tiger was trembling with fright. frightened.

Then Fanxing opened the cage, took the tiger in his mouth and went to a remote mountain, put the tiger on the ground, and then left.

"Thank you for your hard work." Du Changqiu patted Fan Xing, seeing this scene, he felt a little disappointed.Isn't the tiger the epitome of ordinary people in Huarong County?

The Jin family has a big business, and the family's farmland is equivalent to half of the city's people's farmland. Their behavior is domineering and flamboyant, which is obviously enough to satisfy the addiction of the local rich.

Unfortunately, it hit Du Changqiu's hand.

The matter was resolved,? Along the way, everyone became more and more vigilant, and they didn't know if Fanxing's deterrence was in place, and there were no more risks afterwards.

Soon, the environment became familiar, the cold wind became milder, and the grass began to turn green. As spring approached, the team of salt sellers finally arrived in Huarong County.

When the convoy showed up, everyone was already getting excited. Some family members set off with the county magistrate, and they all rushed to the gate of the city to greet them.

When Du Changqiu and the others arrived at the gate of the city, the inner and outer three floors were already full of people.Everyone saw the long line of carriages and horses with sackcloth bags on them, and immediately wanted to ask if the salt was sold.But before he could speak, someone yelled, "Hey, that's a tiger?!"

As soon as the man roared, everyone stretched their heads to look, while the one in front could see it clearly, shouting repeatedly: "It's really a tiger!"

That's right, the front of the convoy is nothing but a dead tiger.

"My lord, did you hit a tiger on the road?" Huang Dianli was in the city, and he came to greet him when he heard the news. Now when he saw the tiger, he stepped forward and asked in shock.

"This tiger was killed by the beast Fanxing!" Master Zhou immediately told vividly how Fanxing killed the tiger. That guy was like a storyteller, everyone was startled when he heard it, and his eyes suddenly looked at the calf carrying Du Changqiu There was a hint of awe.

"No wonder, I just said that this little calf looks very mighty, different from other cows!" Immediately, someone saw a different temperament from Fan Xing's body.

"It's not a calf, it's a divine beast!" Someone next to him corrected him, "I also felt that the magistrate's mount is extraordinary, and it really is extraordinary!"

The convoy escorted them into the yamen, and along the way, people spread word of mouth that Fan Xing was able to shoot a thunderbolt with his eyes, knock the tiger to the ground with one hoof, and kill him on the spot. To a thousand meters away... In short, it has nothing to do with cattle at all.

Du Changqiu was a little funny when he heard it, but Mr. Zhou had already mentioned that the tiger was driven mad by drugs. He cooperated with a sullen face and a serious face, and heard Mr. Zhou say with righteous indignation: "My lord said, go to the city and die immediately!" If someone goes to arrest Jin Yuanwai's family, my lord wants to see what their intentions are?!"

In fact, there are many contradictions and loopholes in these remarks. Among other things, Du Changqiu has no contact with the Jin family when he is in office. The main reason is that the mess in Huarong County is too ruthless. He didn't even bother with the welcome banquet.

But the relationship between the Jin family and Zhao Lishu and Chen Hushu is very good. Zhao Lishu's biological daughter married the second young master of the Jin family as his wife, and Chen Hushu's youngest son also married a concubine of the Jin family. Dowry is a thousand taels of capital.However, Zhao Lishu and Chen Hushu were not panicked at all, and the reason why they came and went with Du Changqiu was because in the final analysis, the Jin family stood behind them.

And behind the Jin family, there was still standing Prefect He.

This is logical, otherwise, if there was no reliance, Zhao Lishu and Chen Hushu would not have been so leisurely, nor would they "recommended themselves" to pick the fruits of the salt field and pull them into their arms.

If it were an honest person like Qian Gongshu, if you gave him the salt farm, he would have no way to sell it.

If Zhao Lishu and Chen Hushu didn't discuss with the master of the Jin family, then Master Jin was wronged, and Du Changqiu didn't believe it.

Du Changqiu had no idea that Zhao Lishu and Chen Hushu were still training beauties, and when the soldiers went to arrest them, the three of them were drinking and discussing that the old bustard of Baihualou would retrain the singing and dancing of the selected girls.

When the soldiers left, Master Jin was saying, "If he doesn't want to accept Chunzhi and Xiaoman, I'll tell Mr. He about Huarong's discovery of the salt..."

Although they told them that they didn't make as much money as they did by themselves, but if it really wanted to be like this, that's the only way to go.

As a result, before he finished speaking, Guan Bingshu led someone to break into the door and started arresting them.

"You are presumptuous, how dare you come to my place to act wildly!" Mr. Jin has been a landowner all his life, and his ancestors have occupied Huarong County for generations, especially after his youngest daughter entered the back house of Governor He. ?

It was really the first time he encountered such a situation, so he immediately got up and scolded.

"Hehe, you are so aggressive and murdering the county magistrate. If you have the strength to quarrel here, why don't you figure out how to report to the county magistrate!" Guan Bingshu was oppressed by Zhao Lishu and Chen Hushu for half his life. It is said that many brothers hooked up with this group of people when the magistrate Wang was there at that time, and sent them directly to the border.

Given the opportunity, it is even more impossible to let this group of people go.

"You spitting blood!" Hearing this, Master Jin cursed repeatedly, "My tiger has been in the rare beast garden, why did it ever let the tiger do something violent?!"

For the sake of their own safety, the Jin family's rare animal garden was separated from their home by a certain distance. The mansion was on the mountainside, but the rare animal garden was on the top of the mountain. However, the Jin family treated the servants harshly, and the servants did not dare to report the missing tiger for fear of punishment. At this moment, Master Jin doesn't know that his tiger is gone.

"If you have anything to say, go to the county yamen and say it!" After finishing speaking, Guan Bingshu immediately waved his hand and sent him directly to the yamen.

During the interrogation at the Shengtang, Mr. Jin was still complaining, but after searching, the tiger in the Jinjiazhen Animal Park was indeed gone.

"My lord, this, this may be a misunderstanding..." Zhao Lishu and Chen Hushu were both present, and Guan Bingshu directly escorted them back together. At this moment, he knelt down with a face of humiliation, but he immediately called for grievances for Master Jin.

The backing of the two of them is Master Jin. When Master Jin had an accident, they lost their backing completely. At this time, they didn't care about their own situation, and kept saying: "The tiger is lost, but it doesn't prove that it was Master Jin's tiger who murdered Mr. Xie." There are so many tigers in this mountain, how can we be sure..."

"My lord, the daughter of the people wants to sue Jin Yuanwai for murder!" Seeing Zhao Lishu talking eloquently, the woman who came with the soldiers rushed into the yamen like crazy, knelt down and cried, "My lord, I watched Jin Yuanwai push my husband into the leopard cage, and was killed by two leopards!"

As soon as this sound came out, everyone was shocked.

"Talk slowly!" Du Changqiu took a deep breath, and whispered to Master Zhou next to him, and asked someone to put the mat on for the woman.

The woman thanked her, and repeatedly said that they were taxed too heavily that year, and they really couldn't survive, so they took the millet from Master Jin and planned to pay it back next year.As a result, when Mr. Jin borrowed it, he said that he would repay a stone and a half of the grain. The interest was already very high, but he could still pay it back if he had a good harvest the next year.

But when they brought the rice to pay back, Master Jin's butler took out the deed paper, and the deed read out was to borrow a stone of grain and pay back a stone and a half a day.

They were illiterate and wanted to sue the officials, but Mr. Wang beat them out of the county government.In the end, helpless, they became slaves.

But this woman's father-in-law is stubborn, and he said he wanted to run away, so he continued to sue, if he couldn't do it, he would sue and seek justice.

Unexpectedly, this was known by Master Jin, and on the same day, for the purpose of establishing his prestige, he gathered all the servants and pushed her man into the leopard cage under the eyes of everyone.

After the woman finished speaking, she fell limply to the ground, weeping uncontrollably.

Before Du Changqiu just told Guan Bingshu that when he went there, if he found any land occupied by Master Jin or captured as slaves, he could bring them to confront in court.

He didn't expect that there were already many strange and suspicious cases on the Jin family's files, and he knew that there were tricky cases with a little guesswork, but he didn't expect that it was even more unbearable in private!

Du Changqiu was furious, but he didn't expect that this was just the beginning.

The case lasted for a whole month, and the victim involved more than 500 people. Almost every household in several villages around the Jin family had their fields seized by him or their family members were looted. The entire Jin family, men and women, except the minor children Tong, there are lives in other hands.

Even though Du Changqiu had a firm mind, when he saw the paper full of finger prints, his hands trembled so much that he almost couldn't hold the case file.

"The Jin family, the whole family was taken into custody as coolies and sent to Buduguan. For the rest of the sufferers, check the files of the yamen, and return the fields and their personal contracts. There must be no mistake!" Du Changqiu slapped the gavel, and finally settled the case.

The sufferers wailed loudly, thanked them with gratitude and finally took back everything that should belong to them. They knelt and kowtowed outside the county government office before going home one after another.

At the same time, Zhao Lishu and Chen Hushu were very smart, and they tried their best to clear themselves up, saying that they were completely ignorant and slipped too fast. If the book fell down, he would have no hope at all, and when the incident happened, he would take it all on himself.

This made Du Changqiu very regretful. He didn't find out their big reason. The other people in the yamen thought he was harsh and everyone was in danger. They could only be punished for lax supervision.

The Jin family was sent out of the county in shackles, and the men and women of the Jin family cried loudly.

The local snake in Huarong County discovered that Mr. Xie looked gentle and even easy to bully, but he was very ruthless in his shots, and he was very difficult to provoke when he hit a snake with seven inches.

For a while, as Du Changqiu expected, Zhao Lishu and Chen Hushu were recovering from their injuries, and they didn't even dare to send a letter to Taishou He's back house to tell Miss Jin that something happened to their family.

Du Changqiu wasn't worried either, he handled it very well, Eunuch He would send troops to attack him if he had the ability, or cut off the court's salary and food, both of which he didn't count on the Daye court, naturally he was not afraid that Eunuch He would know.

In short, just under this turmoil, all the people in Huarong County who were about to make trouble completely quieted down. Du Changqiu found that Liu Lishu and Sun Xingshu, who had been a bit of a foreign worker, were suddenly full of energy, and there was no discount in their work. Come to report, turn over the old scrolls every day, and the atmosphere of the entire yamen is instantly suppressed.

Originally, Du Changqiu said that he would not do it for the time being, the reception banquet was brought up again, and Du Changqiu also went there a few times, barely reassuring everyone.

At the same time, the food brought back is being put into the warehouse in an orderly manner.Du Changqiu directly asked Mr. Zhou to set up a shop in the store and started selling "official direct sales food."

This wave of low-priced food has completely disrupted the pace of hoarding by the local wealthy households. Originally, because everyone has wages and knows that there is not much food left by the county government, the local wealthy households plan to hoard food for a profit by raising the price of food. Bo, it turned out that he didn't expect it, and was directly wiped out.

In this atmosphere, spring plowing also started one after another.

Of the returned fields, more than 500 victims took back more than half of them, and the remaining 1000 mu of good land was accumulated by the Jin family in his early years. Claim it, and all of them will be used as public land of the county government.

There are still many such public lands, and the sum is a considerable number. Du Changqiu directly called Huang Dianli to divide the land and plant double-cropping rice, sweet potato and corn.

And asked Mr. Zhou to assist Huang Dianli to do a good job in promoting new grains.

"My lord, are you saying that the yield of this corn can reach six to ten shi, and the sweet potato can reach fifty shi?!" Dianli Huang and Master Zhou were both stunned by this statistic. They looked at Du Changqiu in disbelief. Nodding, his face flushed with excitement.

"My lord, where did you get such divine food?!" Huang Dianli couldn't help asking, and then Master Zhou pulled his sleeves.He turned around and saw Fanxing coming out of the opposite kitchen with a tortilla in his mouth.

Mr. Pan, who lives in the county government office and seizes every opportunity to discuss cooking skills with Du Changqiu every day, is studying these things, and said to Fan Xing: "I remember this smell, I will try a new method by adding pepper!"

Fan Xing squatted at the door to eat cornbread, his ears wagging happily. Obviously, Pan Lao's craftsmanship satisfied him very much.

"I understand!" After watching this scene, Huang Dianli interrupted Du Changqiu's just-prepared story about the food gift from the sea merchants, and said with glowing eyes, "It must have been brought back by the divine beast!"...

"Yes!" Du Changqiu made a decisive decision and immediately replied: "That's right, it took me to the mountains. I saw a large corn field and sweet potato field, and then I harvested that field. I calculated the yield per mu."

Therefore, the divine beast that killed the tiger took the son of destiny, Mr. Xie, to find the fairy food. The news that the yield per mu was three to four times or even dozens of times higher than that of rice instantly detonated Huarong County, and everyone wanted to grab this limited amount of magic food.

Under such a heated scrambling queue, the spring plowing began.
