"Your brother and I are also brothers, so you don't have to call me that." "Brother County Lieutenant, you really didn't eat less for breakfast. Are you just waiting for these two bowls? Is there no food in your family?" Qi's daughter asked with concern. Without waiting for the other party to answer, she became embarrassed again. "It's a pity that my family doesn't have much food. My brother donated a hundred shi, and my sister-in-law was very angry and wouldn't let him in." Zhu Guang almost spit out his rice in one mouthful. What is going on in this girl's head? After finishing two bowls of rice dumplings, he was full of food and energetic, so he said: "There is actually food at home, but I just eat it tightly. I eat a lot and can't help but be hungry." The Qi girl rolled her eyes and said, "Oh. "Mrs. Sister-in-law is really good at living things," he said. "Who is it?" "Just one person." "That's it." Zhu Guang almost got around her, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. When she said Mrs. Sister-in-law, she meant her wife, but she was so used to hearing Gao Shun call her "Mrs. Madam" that she thought she was referring to my mother-in-law. After chatting for a while, Zhu Guang wanted to go back to the city to say goodbye to her, but he heard that she would not come tomorrow. Thinking of Qi Zhou saying that she was just trying to be fresh, Zhu Guang said: "It's okay if you don't come, this is not the place where you should show your face." The Qi girl shook her head, seeming a little lonely: "Because the food donated by our family has been used up. ¡± ¡°So that¡¯s the case, one hundred stone grains really can¡¯t help but be eaten like this. Seeing her expression, Zhu Guang couldn't bear it and comforted: "You have a compassionate heart and have done what you can. Don't feel sad." After hearing this, Qi's daughter suddenly stamped her foot: "Hey! I can drive. "I'm going to help you transport food?" Zhu Guang couldn't laugh or cry: "Sister, if I ask you to transport food, your brother will have to beat me, so forget it. There are many people and things to do now, so just stay at home. "Not good?" "Oh." She put a strand of hair behind her ear and reluctantly responded. "Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Thank you for the three bowls of rice dumplings." The Qi girl rolled her eyes and said, "Does Brother County Lieutenant know Han Xin's story?" "Han Xin? There are many stories about Han Xin, what are you referring to?" Which one?" "Piao Mu's one." "Piao Mu? Oh, just give him food What do you want to say?" "Piao Mu's rice letter, Huaiyin said that he will be rich in the future. How does the county captain want to repay me? "Zhu Guang really couldn't understand what was going on in her mind, so he said: "It is not what a gentleman does to show kindness in return." "I am not a gentleman to begin with, I am a woman, Confucius said. That's why it's hard to raise a villain. " "How can this be explained?" "Of course! I don't ask you to repay me in the future. I just hope you come to my house from time to time." I'm stunned, sister, I really can't keep up with your pace. What's going on? Seeing that he was confused, Qi's daughter chuckled and said, "My brother never drinks, but when the county lieutenant comes, he gets very drunk. If the county lieutenant comes often, my brother will always be drunk." "Then what?" " Hehe. "Zhu Guang is completely defeated. There is nothing he can do to her. If he continues, I don't know what weird ideas she has. He hurriedly left and remembered that he still didn't know her name, so he asked her about it and said, Qi Tang. By April, the disaster had been alleviated to a great extent due to donations of food from wealthy households in Fanyang. At least it is rare to hear of people starving to death. But the situation was serious elsewhere, and it was only then that the court responded. The governor of Youzhou was ordered to take charge of disaster relief, and all county officials had to obey his orders. Who is the current governor of Youzhou? Clan member of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yu. Liu Boan only served as the Prime Minister of Ganling for a few months before he appeased the officials and people in the territory and resumed production and life. Due to the complicated situation in Youzhou and the fact that he had served as the governor of Youzhou before, the court reconsidered again and sent him to take up the old responsibility again. Zhu Guang was able to pass the postal inspection test that day because of his relationship. Although Liu Yu was a clan member and a noble, he understood the sufferings of the people better. He raised food while visiting the disaster situation. Because Fan Yang reacted quickly, not many people starved to death, so he didn't attract much attention and almost didn't get included in the food distribution list. It was Zhu Guang who had known Liu Yu before and had escorted him once, so he begged with a shy face, and then arranged for him to go in. On this day, Fan Yangling came back from the county again, which was different from the previous time. This time there was no frown, only smiles, because they came back with food. ??????????????????????????????? He held his hand and said: "County Lieutenant, thanks to you this time! If it weren't for your great face, our Fan Yang would have almost made a mistake! Fan Yang can pass this test, the people should be grateful to you!" Seeing the County Magistrate Excited, Zhu Guang withdrew his hand without leaving a trace: "What does the county say about the Black Mountain Bandits?" Qi Zhou smiled beside him and said: "Why don't you allow the county magistrate to take a breath and drink some water before talking about it?" The three of them After entering the back hall and sitting down, Fan Yang took a long drink and then said: "The prince of the mansion said that after he and his staff discussed it, this must be a strategy for the Black Mountain bandits to attack the east and attack the west. I don't believe it. How can any bandit come to invade the country in advance? I informed you in the afternoon, how can you hide this from others? " "Well, the prince said that most of the county soldiers were mobilized to deal with Xianbei. Even if the Black Mountain bandits really attack Fan Yang, Zhuo County is not far away, so we can just be on guard. " This makes sense. Zhuo County is governed by Zhuo County. It was a hundred miles away from Fanyang County, and the rapid march only took one day. Zhu Guang didn't say anything more, and he gathered his strong men from then on and guarded them tightly. With the grain brought back by the county magistrate, and Xincheng County and other places also starting to release grain, Fan Yang's predicament has been alleviated, and there should be no big problem in harvesting until May. Coupled with a few rains in the past few months, it is estimated that this year's harvest will not be too bad, and the difficulty seems to have passed. At this point, Zhu Xianwei finally had a full meal. However, when eating dry rice with meat, the crispy rice still tastes better. In early April, the difficulties passed and the hard days came to an end. The county offices, which had been operating under high pressure, also relaxed. Fan Yangling has been running around the county, and now he is finally tired and sick, lying at home unable to get out of bed. All official duties were shared between Qi Zhou and Zhu Guang. Several knocks on the door brought Lieutenant Zhu out of his thoughts. When he looked up, Qi Zhou shook his feather fan and pulled up his collar: "I'm leaving first. It's too hot. Don't forget it tonight." "It's better to come to my house. I'll take it from you. I'm sorry." "You? You're sorry? I didn't see you eating less." Although Qi Zhou is a county magistrate, he is not very qualified. He is not the kind of person who can sit in front of a case all day, immersed in official business. Now that the county magistrate is ill, he is supposed to be an assistant and should take full responsibility, but this guy has been late for three days and left early. The people below were forced to have no choice but to come to Zhu Guang for advice if anything happened. After he left, Zhu Guang didn't pay much attention to it. It didn't matter whether he was eating earlier or later, so he immersed himself in the case again. It wasn't because of how hard he worked, but because he had to do this. Although he could understand the words in the bamboo slips and Han Li, he had to think carefully about the meaning of the entire sentence, especially the segmentation was too troublesome. I have been a county lieutenant for more than a year, and I have only now entered the ranks. "County Lieutenant." Gao Shun's voice sounded outside. Seeing that he was sweating profusely and panting, Zhu Guang asked, "What's wrong?" "The chief of Changting Pavilion rescued a thief who stole cattle." "Then what?" "According to his confession, the stolen cattle were sent to Montenegro. "Is there anything else?" Zhu Guang asked patiently. Gao Shun had such a personality that he could never say a sentence. "The person has been transferred to the county office. Does the county lieutenant want to interrogate him in person?" Gao Shun wiped his sweat and asked. Zhu Guang thought for a moment, quickly rolled up the bamboo slips, put on his shoes, and went to the prison accompanied by Gao Shun. The jailers were surprised to see the county lieutenant actually come to the prison in person. Isn't he just a cattle rustler? As for the labor county lieutenant coming in person? "That's him." Gao Shun pointed to a cell and said. There was a man sitting on the ground in the cell, with disheveled hair, and his face could not be seen clearly, so Zhu Guang called out. "County Lieutenant, please take a seat." The jailer brought over a desk with piles of debris, wiped it again and asked Zhu Guang to sit down. The cattle thief was brought before him, his head bowed. "Look up." Zhu Guang said. The thief didn't move. The jailer next to him came up and whipped him. He made an ouch and quickly raised his head. He was only thirty years old, with a sad face. Apparently, Xie had been beaten up before he came to the county seat. "Do you know me?" "You are Fan Yangwei." "What's your name? How many people are in your family?" "The villain's surname is Wang. There is no big name. The neighbors call the villain Wang Fan'er. There are only my father and me in the family. Zhu Guang thought for a moment and nodded: "Wang Fan'er, what do you want to tell me?" Then Wang Fan'er suddenly knelt down and burst into tears: "The county captain saw that my old father has been paralyzed for many years. , If the villain doesn¡¯t come home for two or three days, the old man will starve to death! Although the villain had evil intentions, he failed in the end. Please ask the county captain" Zhu Guang ignored him. Seeing this, the jailer went up and whipped him. There was a crackling sound, and Wang Faner was beaten hard.He rolled to the ground and hurriedly begged for mercy: "I'm sorry!" "Say!" the tiger-like jailer shouted sharply. "The villain has already been recruited. The Black Mountain thieves are willing to pay a high price to buy cattle. The villain was temporarily deceived, and that's why he did such a thing." At this point, when he saw the jailer raising his whip again, he held his head and shouted, "Oh! ! Don¡¯t fight! The Black Mountain thieves are also farming and need cattle! Some villagers turned to thieves a few days ago and asked me to steal them. "Is this true?" Seeing that the county captain didn't like to talk much, the jailer boldly asked. "Every sentence is true! There is absolutely no falsehood!" "County captain?" Zhu Guang stood up and glanced at Wang Fan'er who was sitting on the ground: "Stealing and collaborating with thieves, these are extraordinary times, drag them out tomorrow and kill them to show the public. ." After finishing speaking, he walked out of the prison.
