Chapter 66
County Magistrate Lu was worrying. Outside, the broad-nosed and broad-faced Inspector Fang quickly trotted into the study with a knife in his hand, holding a piece of paper full of ink in his hand.

Fang Fang quickly clenched his fists and said with a complicated expression: "My lord, another merchant has submitted a certificate, saying that the goods were robbed by the bandits from Wumu Peak."

County magistrate Lu sighed deeply, and patted his forehead with both hands, the long wings at both ends of the black gauze hat shook up and down.

"Put it here."

Fang Fang quickly looked at the desk, there were already a dozen certificates on it, there were more than [-] certificates.

After flattening the pleading paper, Fang Fang hurriedly hesitated and said, "My lord, how should I reply to the sufferer?"

County magistrate Lu suddenly raised his head and looked at him with a dark face, "Ask me, who should I ask? There are more than fifty good bandits on the mountain, and only a few people are arrested by our county government? Is it possible that we can go up the mountain to suppress bandits? No?"

Fang Fang broke into a cold sweat, "But my lord, I'm not urging you, there are more and more sufferers at this door, it's not a problem if this continues."

County magistrate Lu was upset and patted the table repeatedly, and said anxiously: "Do you think I don't want peace in the world? But the strong men in the state capital have gone to war on their backs, and the situation over there is not as good as ours. This matter must be settled , not three to five years, hmph, I see enough."

Catcher Fang rolled his eyes quickly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he leaned over to the desk and said, "My lord, I have an idea, I wonder if you would like to try it."

County magistrate Lu looked at him suspiciously, "Do you have an idea? Let's hear it."

Fang Fang quickly showed an embarrassed smile, rubbed his palms and stumbled: "My lord, you also know the young ones, there are old and young in the family, this..."

County magistrate Lu gave him a slanted look, this kid wanted something to gain.

But now his situation is like being roasted on the fire. If he can't solve it, he will resign sadly. If he can solve it, it will be a great achievement.

"Let's talk about it, if it's the right ending, and Wang Butou will step down in the future, I'll let you stand up."

"That's daring."

With the county magistrate's promise, Catcher Fang quickly regained his spirits, and he immediately said: "My lord, now that the rogues have strangled the official road in Changle County, the nearby merchants have been cut off from their sources of income, and they must hate the rogues to the bone. , then why don't we let those merchants contribute money and efforts to deal with the rogues?"

The county magistrate half-closed his eyes and said, "You mean, let the merchants pay to recruit young and strong to suppress the bandits?"

Fang Fang quickly nodded and said: "Our county government only recruits people like this, and told them clearly that if they want to make money, they must cooperate with the suppression of bandits."

"Not bad, not bad." County Magistrate Lu stroked his beard and nodded again and again, finally showing a smile on his anxious expression, "Your boy is very smart."

"Hehehe, thank you for your compliment."

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. I'm waiting for your good news." County magistrate Lu's eyes flashed, and he packed the matter and put it on Catcher Fang's head.

Fang Fang was taken aback for a moment, and just about to refuse, County Magistrate Lu disappeared into the study as if oiling the soles of his feet.

"This is really shooting yourself in the foot, bad luck!"

The idea was made by Captain Fang, he didn't know how many people he would offend by preparing for this matter, but if he can be a good cop in this remote village, he will be able to stand upright when he visits relatives and friends during the holidays .

In the center of the county seat, Lin Manjiang stood in his shop with a slight smile on his face.

Although he was very angry with his son during this time, the shop was making a lot of money.

Ever since the two daughters of the Lin family climbed high branches, the Lin family has accumulated the first pot of gold from the village head and Li Zheng, like ants moving house.

Under Lin Manjiang's management, he started a business of reselling special products, selling goods from the south to the north, and then bringing back good things from the north. Although he didn't make much money in the past few years, he was one of the richest households in the village.

Nowadays, bandits are rampant in Wumu Peak, but Lin Manjiang, who has turned his attention to money, has found a way to make money in another way.

"Is everything ready?"

Lin Manjiang Manbu walked outside the shop and shouted, and immediately a coolie wearing a turban appeared.

"Master Lin, the goods are all packed, don't worry."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Lin Manjiang nodded, and then there was a sound of wheels next to his ears. Looking sideways, a carriage full of goods came over.

Shopkeepers from several nearby shops walked over together, all with smiles on their faces.

"Hehehe, Boss Lin, I'm relying on you again this time."

While speaking, a heavy bag of silver was placed in Lin Manjiang's hands, and several shopkeepers felt heartache with naked eyes.

Lin Manjiang weighed the money and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, easy to say."

In the teahouse not far away, Xu Wanqing stared quietly at the Lin family's shop with puzzled eyes.

"This is really strange. Now that bandits are rampant, why does the Lin family's goods pass through smoothly every time, and they even start the escort business?"

Xu Wanqing's words fell into the ears of the maid Tao'er. She was a careful person. Seeing that the mistress was curious, she took the initiative to ask Ying: "Madam, you are here to listen to the book. Tao'er will ask you about it."

"Well, let's go."

After half a cup of tea, Tao'er hurried back, her tired face flushed.

"Ma'am, I found out clearly. The nearby vendors said that there is a powerful master in the Lin family's team. He used to fight twenty or so rogues by himself. Later, the rogues did not dare to stop the Lin family's goods."

Xu Wanqing looked at a man in front of the Lin family's team with great interest. He had a fierce face, holding a broad knife in his arms, and his tendons were bulging explosively, making him look powerful.

"Is this the person?" Xu Wanqing pointed in the distance.

Tao'er nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, it's him, because the shopkeepers near him have to go with the Lin family's convoy for whatever goods they have. Along the way, they got dozens of cars of silver."

Xu Wanqing shook the tea in the cup, her eyes were full of doubts, she heard that there were dozens of rogues on this mountain, all of them were ruthless, but when they came to the Lin family, they became shrinking turtles.

The storyteller patted the table eye-catchingly, and a story was coming to an end. Amidst the yelling of tea guests, the storyteller refreshed his mouth with tea, and a new story was told.

Xu Wanqing lost interest and stood up quietly.

Tao'er hurriedly supported her, and asked softly: "Ma'am, are you going back now?"

"I'm tired of listening to these paragraphs, and I'm even more disgusted to see that foxy girl when I go back. I'd better go and bother sister Xu."

The master and servant moved into the carriage step by step, and drove towards Qingxi Academy.

In the academy, a peach tree is newly blooming. The pink petals attract bees and butterflies, and a faint fragrance fills the nostrils.

Shen Xian closed his eyes and sniffed lightly, feeling refreshed.
