Chapter 106 Lu Jinnian

The drizzle continued day after day, and the scorching summer seemed a bit damp and cold.

On the official road outside Yongle Village, a group of soldiers rushed towards Yinhuafu with their horseshoes splashing mud.

Yinhua Mansion is the state capital of Yuhua Prefecture, and a government office is set up here to be responsible for the jurisdiction of the state, the recovery and reporting of disasters.

After Niu Dehua's death, the soldiers who went to Changle County with him finally returned to Yuhua Prefecture with the news of his death after a few days of delay.

The Futai Yamen is located in the very center of Yuhua Prefecture, covering an area of ​​several acres. Compared with the Changle County Yamen, it looks unusually grand. The two lifelike stone lions in front of the door alone are not comparable to a county government.

In the study room on the east side of the Futai yamen, there is a mountain of papers in front of the desk, Feng Henian, the master of the Futai, shows a pair of lazy eyes.

Feng Henian was old, in his seventies, with gray hair hanging down his temples, and he seemed a little tired from handling a lot of official duties. Most of the affairs were handled by the master next to him.

Picking up a report, opened it and looked at it casually, a gleam of light appeared in Feng Henian's lazy eyes.

"Interesting, interesting."

Feng Henian's age-spotted face showed deep wrinkles, revealing a strong interest.

The master stopped writing, and continued to ask with a smile: "Master Feng, did you see something interesting?"

Putting the papers together and stacking them aside, Feng Henian lightly brushed his beard and murmured: "Ten years ago, there was a civil strife in the court. The regent presided over the overall situation and found out many big rats in the court. Among them, Taifu Zhao was the most, and the whole family was implicated. .”

Hearing the old man talking about old things, the master didn't know what he meant, so he just listened quietly.

Looking at the report in one corner, Feng He smiled young and said: "However, Taifu Zhao's family has a grandson whose whereabouts are still unknown. I have a premonition that this person is in Changle County."

The master was confused, so he quickly got up and picked up the report to read, and found that the content in it was completely different from what Feng Henian said.

"My lord, why do you see this?"

Feng Henian reclined on the grand master's chair, and said leisurely: "Ten years ago, the grand master's family was imprisoned, and most of his disciples disregarded the responsibility, only a few of them lost their lives in vain."

"However, there was a person who was on the cusp of the storm and went to Changle County to become a county magistrate on the grounds of mishandling unjust, false and wrongly decided cases."

Laughing a few times, Feng Henian said with a see-through look in his eyes, "I thought he was trying to avoid the limelight, but now it seems that the son of the Zhao family is hiding here."

Although Feng Henian said it was in order, the master still didn't understand where Feng Henian got it, and he could only sigh in his heart that a mental patient had a broad mind.

Feng Henian glanced sideways at the master, and shook his head at his ignorance. It was clearly written in the report that Niu Dehua died quietly after robbing a little woman.

Since she was a little woman, why didn't her husband show up from the beginning to the end, and why did Lu Jinnian rush through the matter?

So after thinking about it, Feng Henian could only think of one reason. Lu was in Tibet in recent years. As for what happened, combined with his background, Feng Henian came to the above conclusion.

"Although this matter is a guess, we still have to do a thorough investigation and ask people to bring Taifu Zhao's portrait to Changle County for comparison. If there is any similarity, they will be killed."

"Yes, my lord."

Master wiped the sweat from his forehead, gave up thinking, and hurried out to give orders.

……

In Changle County's magistrate, County Magistrate Lu stood in front of the study door, his cheeks were chilled by gusts of gloomy wind.

Looking up at the sky, the rain that has just stopped has another tendency to fall.

"The storm is coming."

At this moment, Lu Jinnian's eyes lost the laughter and cursing in the past, and he looked very calm, with a sense of being ready to go.

"Teacher, the student has no power to return to heaven. He can only protect the young master step by step. I only hope that he can get out of the predicament and bring justice to the more than [-] Zhao family members."

When no one was around, Lu Jinnian dared to confide in his heart. After calculating the time, the news of Niu Dehua's death should have been sent back to Futai.

Thinking of this, Lu Jinnian's eyes narrowed. Feng Henian is not easy to fool this old man. He is the regent's running dog, and if he sees the clue, he will definitely jump up and bite.

After Niu Dehua's death, the Wumufeng bandit suppression case was temporarily put on hold, and Feng Henian will use this as an excuse to send someone over.

If he can pass the test safely this time, everyone will be happy, and the young master can stay dormant for a long time, but if he is discovered, the ten-year concealment will be destroyed.

Zhao's courtyard.

Brother and sister Niu Yu and Niu Lei have lived here for a few days, and they have changed their minds to be clean. The food is also unprecedentedly good, so that the two people's complexion is visible to the naked eye, and the sallowness of their foreheads has receded.

Niu Lei was sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard when a gust of cool wind made him shiver.

In the kitchen, Shen Xian is preparing a hot lunch, and the stewed chicken with braised potatoes in braised sauce is cooked in the pot.

Niu Lei couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he smelled the tempting aroma. He had never eaten such a good meal since he was born.

Niu Yu shook the freshly washed clothes, looked at the sky, and frowned, how could he hang the clothes in such a horrible weather.

Sniffing, she also smelled the aroma of the food, and while she was greedy, said secretly: "After eating this end, I must leave, and I can't cause trouble for others!"

With a squeak, Zhao Shun pushed the door open and came in. He changed from his usual bunt outfit to a long robe, and his hair, which was loose and loose before, also stood up a crown, looking gentle and sturdy.

Niu Yu raised his head and glanced at him, always feeling a bit awkward, Zhao Shun has a generous physique, and he felt like a violent scholar when he put on a long robe.

It was such a violent scholar, holding a bouquet of flowers and plants in his hand, striding towards the kitchen.

"My lady, I picked flowers for you."

Zhao Shun appeared behind Shen Xian holding flowers, with a gentle smile on his face, Shen Xian glanced at him lightly, without speaking.

Seeing that Shen Xian didn't respond, Zhao Shun felt a little headache. Ever since he expressed his feelings that day, Shen Xian was really angry all the time. He tried all kinds of methods, but they were completely useless.

When the hot chicken pieces came out of the pan, Shen Xian accidentally burned his fingers by the scorching steam and made a 'hiss' sound.

Zhao Shun quickly grabbed her hand, put it to his lips and blew, "Lady, rest, let me do it."

Shen Xian pursed his lips lightly, hummed softly from his nose, and then withdrew his fingers.

Walking out of the kitchen, Shen Xian changed his indifference, and shouted with a smile: "It's time to eat."

Niu Lei and Niu Yu put down their work and trotted over, serving food and vegetables very skillfully.

Zhao Shun rubbed his eyebrows and shook his head helplessly.

At the dinner table, Niu Yu gulped down the chicken, wishing he could swallow it with his tongue.

Niu Lei was not much better either, his food was ugly.
