Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 17

East of Kaifeng City.

This sent Zhang Yue away, and naturally it was Lu Bin's turn.

Lu Bin arranged for Guo Rong to go to Boxing County in Zizhou.

Luo Youdu admires Guo Rong's employment.

Zhang Yue was resolute and respected the rule of law, and arranged for him to work in a small county that connected the north-south commercial road, while Lu Bin attached great importance to education and left him in the land of Qilu, where the literary style prevailed, so that they could show their talents.

Compared to Zhang Yue's open-mindedness, Lu Bin seemed very sentimental. After writing ink for a long time, he left reluctantly and turned back three steps, as if waiting for a miracle to appear.

If this miracle happened so easily, it could not be called a miracle.

"Let's go! Let's go back!"

Luo Youdu made the final decision of course.

The answer from the crowd was weak.

Luo Youdu didn't care, and led everyone back to Kaifeng City.

He didn't seem to feel the depressing atmosphere on the way, and once he entered Kaifeng City, he left home first.

As soon as Luo Youdu left, Kong Jia, who was dressed in white, immediately spoke: "We brothers have worked together for many years, and it is rare to get together. There is a wine shop in front of me, which specializes in Dukang. Let me be the host, and let us brothers talk to our hearts."

Zhu Shu sighed and said, "It's about our future, it's time to discuss it properly."

The rest of the people looked at each other with gloomy faces, and they all praised them.

Luo Youdu rode his beloved little donkey on his way home.

Compared with the original south of the city, the North Street where this new residence is located has a lot more fireworks.

Pedestrians on the street, street vendors standing in front of their houses, and the shouts of walking merchants, the antique flavor makes people feel a kind of physical and mental pleasure.

As a traveler, Luo Youdu didn't think the taste of popularity was wonderful. Instead, he liked quietness. He also liked to go to the countryside when traveling in later generations. He felt that that was life.But when he traveled to ancient times and lived in the dead south of the city, his attitude changed. The empty houses and temples that could be seen everywhere, from time to time the old houses collapsed, revealing the bones...

The shock of this kind of scene to a person in a peaceful and prosperous world can be imagined, and it also makes Luo Youdu realize how precious the future life is and how rare it is to become popular.

If I didn't cherish it before, I have never really seen what is called a thousand miles without a rooster, and the bones are exposed in the wild.

Seeing Luo Youdu passing by on a donkey, the neighbors nodded and said hello.

Luo Youdu also saluted one by one.

When he just moved in, the simple neighbors did not know that an official had come.

Luo Yudu specially bought some worthless small items to visit one by one.

The neighbors got along very well. Later, I learned about Luo Youdu's identity. At first, I was a little unfamiliar, but over time, I found that this official master was not arrogant, and the daring returned to normal.

Luo Youdu's new residence does not have a large gate, just a large front yard surrounded by fences and five rooms, which are common residential houses in Kaifeng.

There is a flowerbed on the left, and a small vegetable field on the right, which is very warm.

The housekeeper, Lao Hu, was watering the vegetables in the yard. When he saw Luo Youdu coming back, he stepped forward and said, "Xiao Xianggong, soybeans are cheap today. The old slave will grind it in the evening and eat tofu tomorrow morning." He reached out his hand to lead the donkey.

Luo Youdu couldn't bear to say: "This old donkey has carried me for a day, so why not let it rest?"

Lao Hu said with a sullen face: "Then you can't let this old slave's old arms and legs grind on it? Or..." He said and glanced at Luo Youdu.

Luo Youdu said immediately: "It's okay, the old donkey is very strong, it's not tired!"

Saying that, Luo Youdu walked directly to the inner hall, and unceremoniously left the donkey that carried him for a day.

Back in the room, Luo Youdu remembered the situation of seeing off Lu Bin today, and read out the names of Kong Jia and Zhu Shu.

The next day, Luo Youdu did not go directly to his office, but went to the office of the Kaifeng House.

When Luo Youdu came, Yin Ming, Liu Li, and Tang Yu who were on duty rushed up and greeted him warmly, as if he was the mansion.

Luo Youdu was not polite, and said directly: "Help me find out what old cases are in Kaifeng Mansion. If you need to leave Kaifeng and go to other places to investigate, give me two copies."

The task of the court judge in Kaifeng is to try cases, and the court is where the process of reviewing and reviewing case files is stored.

As Zhang Yue's confidant, Yin Ming responded immediately: "There should be a lot of old cases like this in the treasury, but it just takes a little time to sort them out."

"Okay!" Luo Youdu nodded and said: "Then it will be hard for you, find it out, and send it to my office later. You are busy with yours..." Seeing that they meant to send each other off, he waved his hand and said: "No need to send it. already."

Before noon, Yin Ming sent two thick old cases to Luo Youdu's desk.

The various quest lines in the old case are very complicated and there are many. The silk cloth of the case file is a little yellow, and a lot of ash has accumulated, but it can still be seen that each case file has been specially wiped.

"Have a heart!" Luo Youdu glanced at Yin Minggao, he was indeed a talent.

After going through the two old cases, Luo Youdu smiled and let people call Kong Jia and Zhu Shu to his office.

Kong Jia and Zhu Shu met on the way, and an ominous feeling emerged in my heart.

They just reached an agreement yesterday that they should cooperate with each other and use the strength accumulated over the years to take Luo Youdu into the air and force him to leave Kaifeng Mansion.

Under the guilt of being a thief, the two suddenly felt a chill down their spines.

"I've seen Luo Shenjun!"

Even though they were a little dissatisfied, when facing Luo Youdu, Kong Jia and Zhu Shu had to salute obediently and say hello.

Luo Youdu motioned them to avoid the ceremony, looked at the two with a smile, and said, "Do you know Mr. Di Ge?"

Who does not know Di Renjie's name?

Kong Jia and Zhu Shu naturally said they knew it.

Luo Youdu said: "This official admires the elder Di Ge the most. If you want to imitate his feats in the past, you must not only try the current people's livelihood cases, but also sort out the old cases. The county magistrate Lu has repeatedly praised your strategy, A certain specially found two old cases and handed them over to you to investigate." As he spoke, he picked up the two old cases and handed them to the two of them respectively.

Kong Jia and Zhu Shu each took it and read it carefully, their faces getting more and more ugly.

This kind of old case is the most difficult to deal with. Due to the long period of time, many witnesses and evidence have been scattered all over the world due to the disaster of war. It is not surprising that they died on the way to escape.

Kong Jia complained dissatisfiedly: "It's been three years since this case, and even the person who reported the case died of illness. What's the point of investigating it? Isn't it to make things difficult for people?"

Luo Youdu immediately slapped the case and said angrily: "What do you mean by making things difficult for people? If the reporter is dead, the case will not be investigated? It is your attitude that leads to so many old cases in Kaifeng Mansion. No wonder the official family. If you are so annoyed by the lazy government officials, it is better to go home and grow corn. If you want to do it, if you don’t want to, get out of the office.”
