Huanxi Farm: Pick up a husband for farming

Chapter 44
Li Luzi was completely paralyzed. The corners of his lips were mixed with blood and saliva, and a lump of disgusting liquid flowed out. In addition, his chilled body was constantly shaking after being doused with water, and he looked like a drowned rat.

Rong Shui couldn't help feeling very relieved.

She jumped off the stool and walked behind Rong Ming and Rong Qing, pulled Rong Ming's sleeves, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, what do you think if we hand him over to the government?"

After asking Rong Zheng to know his attitude, the next is the two elder brothers.But Rong Shui was more at ease about their attitude, the only questionable thing was whether Rong Ming knew about Luo Can's collusion with the government.

Rong Qing disagreed, he had just returned from a visit to the government office, and he knew that the government and businessmen were colluding, and the master of the Tong County Yamen had inextricable relationships with Luo Can, so he basically considered everything that Rong Shui could think of. .

Although Rong Ming is not as thoughtful as his younger siblings, he also understands that the local government should not be trusted casually.He showed hesitant eyes, and he didn't answer Rongshui's question for a long time, as if he couldn't make up his mind.

"Ah Shui, Li Luzi must not be forgiven lightly. No matter what method we use, we will make him pay the price!" Rong Qing whispered in her ear.

"Well, what the second brother said is right, big brother, I believe you also want to express your anger on behalf of sister. Li Luzi has plotted against sister again and again. This person must not continue to let him go. The best way is to Let him be exiled to a poor and poor place like the flying mouse."

Rong Ming was a little surprised, but on second thought, there really was no better way than this.

After being tossed by Duan Xiangrui, Li Luzi barely died. He drooped his head, his wet hair was dripping with water, his wretched face was pale and bloodless, and his triangular eyes, which had lost their hostility, stared blankly at him. ground.

"Why? Are you still unwilling to tell the truth?"

"Say...I said..." He finally couldn't stand it anymore, panting heavily, how Luo Can found him, and how he conspired to kidnap Rong Wan, destroy her reputation, and further crush the Rong family. He explained everything clearly, and at the end he didn't forget to spit on Zhao Zhuzi, the ungrateful villain.

"I've told you everything I know. I haven't done anything to Rong Wan. See if you can let me go and give me a way out?"

"What else is there to talk about with someone like you?" Rong Shui stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Luzi imposingly: "You have conspired against my elder sister twice before and after, and you have speculated that Zhao Zhuzi is a fool again and again. Come trouble our Rong family!"

"Oh, let's accompany you in this backyard to blow the draft for a while." Gu Changan walked up to Li Luzi charmingly, twisting his water snake waist, and lowered his head to comfort Rong Shui: "Rong Shui, don't be angry with this kind of person. Well, in my opinion, just hand him over to the government!"

"Yes, yes, just hand me over to the government! I promise to be honest! I will never harass your Rong family again!"

Li Luzi knew that there were people in the Yamen of Luo Can's mansion, so as long as he was accommodating, he would naturally not end up like a flying mouse.

Rong Shui didn't make a sound, she and Jun Li exchanged a look, and the two retreated to the side tacitly and whispered.

"Before you said that Jiangzhou prefect came to visit today, I wonder if this has been implemented?"

Junli raised his eyebrows confidently: "Don't worry about my work, I have already received the wind, and he is ready to go this morning. It is really wrong to deliberately check on a small sesame official. He specially set up a private suit for this trip. The name of the private visit is that I don’t know where he is.”

Rong Shui thought that the prefect of Jiangzhou was so low-key and thoughtful, without the official style at all. It seemed that he would be able to become a qualified shepherd of a state in the future, unlike those people with three teachings and nine streams.

She could just take this opportunity to appeal to the Qingtian master who was "privately interviewed by Weibo". After finding out the county magistrate of Tongzhou, she will see how long Luo Can can continue to be arrogant!
"I don't know where the adult's private visit will go?"

"Are you planning something?" Jun Li seemed to see through the little Jiujiu in her heart at a glance.

Rong Shui didn't hide anything, and told Junli about his plan openly.

Seeing them "biting their ears", the two brothers of the Rong family felt rather embarrassed, while Mr. Ju and Gu Chang'an each exchanged meaningful glances.

Zhan Kezhen's trip this time was euphemistically called a "private visit in micro-service", but it was actually aimed at Tongzhou County Magistrate Zhao Zhigao.

He deliberately brought along two patrolmen, an imperial envoy, and the master who was in charge of recording the case. The five changed their official uniforms and put on the coarse clothes of ordinary people, and entered Tongzhou in a low-key manner.

Zhao Zhigao received the news that he stopped visiting the brothels and drinking, so he hurried back to the yamen to get dressed, and went to meet Zhan Kezhen in person with a group of arresting officers.

The visit of the prefect of Jiangzhou is a top priority, and it will help pave the way for official career if he is courted.Zhao Zhigao's mind was active, but he didn't expect that the other party's purpose was to take him down.

Master Luo Yijing was more thoughtful. Seeing that Zhao Zhigao was lining up to welcome the prefect, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. After thinking about it, he felt something was wrong, so he told Zhao Zhigao what was in his heart.

"My lord, we still haven't figured out what the purpose of the Jiangzhou prefect's private visit is. If he wants to knock the mountains and shake the tiger, we may be the first to be targeted by him!" Luo Yijing frowned slightly, The two beards flicked comically.

"Well, you're right!" Zhao Zhigao slapped his head, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He rubbed his heart in fear, and hurriedly told the children to stop what they were doing and do what they should do.

"Isn't the imperial court anti-corruption recently? As the prefect of Jiangzhou, how can he make a difference with no political achievements? Even if it's just a lot of thunder and little rain, officials like us in small places may be affected!"

Strictly speaking, Tongzhou is not a small place. After all, the terrain is superior, and various industries such as silk weaving, fishery, and porcelain are well developed.And a canal that passes through Tongzhou controls the economic lifeline of the two states of the north and the south. As a transportation hub, Tongzhou will only develop more economically in the future. Many merchants from the north have come down here, intending to take root in Tongzhou.

But I have to say that Roy Jing's eyes are very vicious.He considered the various possibilities of Zhan Kezhen's private visit, at least before making a statement, he had to know the eunuch's temperament well, so that he could not be caught by him.

To avoid suspicion, Zhao Zhigao even changed his official uniform.After rummaging through boxes and cabinets for a long time, he found a worn-out piece of clothing from an unknown corner. He hid all the valuable antique treasures in the study, and the dozen or so concubines in the backyard were temporarily sent back to their natal homes one by one. , only the original wife was left behind, and she was ordered to change into poor-quality sackcloth, and by the way, more than fifty maids and servants were removed, leaving only one housekeeper and two servants who cleaned the yard.

When he went out to meet Zhan Kezhen and the group, he was still thinking about whether to change to a simple house, but Royjing persuaded him a few times, and finally dismissed the idea.

Zhan Kezhen is worthy of being a senior official of the fourth rank. Even if he is wearing rough clothes, he can still see the temperament accumulated in his years of being an official.

He has a Chinese character face that is not angry and self-imposing, eyebrows are shaped like two brushstrokes, and he looks like a judge when he is silent. Seeing a villain like Zhao Zhigao, his heart can't help being shocked a few times, and he keeps rejoicing He didn't bother to make a big scene, otherwise the head would be lost.

"The next official has a long way to go, and I hope the prefect will take care of it." He stepped forward and bowed, playing in a dignified manner.

Zhan Kezhen raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "Magistrate Zhao, this is your fault! Although I came to Tongzhou to observe the people's situation in the name of a private visit in Weifu, but the scene is so shabby, it really makes me feel cold. You Look, I have traveled all day, and you didn't even prepare a sedan chair for me, do you still want me to walk with you?"

Zhao Zhigao froze in place as if someone had poured cold water on his head. If it wasn't for Luo Yijing's quick reaction, he might have been left alone.

"The eunuch's words are wrong. If you want a sedan chair, your lord has already prepared it for you, just waiting for you to say something!"

After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and the policeman standing behind immediately ran back to the yamen in a sensible manner, and carried out the sedan chair that Zhao Zhigao usually sat on.

"What orders does the prefect have?"

The master at the side stroked his beard, and stepped forward to point out: "Just having a sedan chair is not enough. Although our master said it was a private visit in disguise, if the common people don't know, it's meaningless. You can hire a team of people who beat gongs and drums and let them do it for you." Master opened the way."

Zhao Zhigao and Luo Yijing looked at each other.

So this Jiangzhou prefect is actually such a high-profile person?Wechat private visits still have such a big style, could they have misunderstood it?
Such high officials are easy to please, for them flattery is the best.After weighing things up and down, Luo Yijing followed the instructions and invited a group of people who specialize in organizing weddings. They beat gongs and drums, set off firecrackers, and scattered colored paper all the way. They also sent two lines of police officers to maintain law and order, while clearing the road for Zhan Kezhen. On the one hand, he created a lively scene for him.

As a result, it naturally attracted many people to watch.Now, everyone in Tongzhou County knows that Master Qingtian is coming for a "private visit in micro-service". Those who want to see the prefect's true face crowded the whole street, and the shops on both sides couldn't operate normally, so they all closed their doors. shop, the bosses all ran out to watch the excitement.

But for Rong Shui, such an occasion was exactly what she wanted.

Crying out her grievances in front of the people, asking Zhan Kezhen to take the place of Rong's family, and make the matter as big as possible!

But it's really inappropriate to ask her an eight-year-old girl to come forward, so she discussed with Rong Ming and Rong Qing and let the two elder brothers come out in person.

It was the first time that Rong Ming faced a senior official of the fourth rank, and he was already trembling before he went out, and his face was so nervous that he turned pale.All around are the common people watching the excitement, they are jostling for the position in the front row, one by one standing on tiptoe, shoulder to shoulder.

Rong Qing should be much calmer, he thought to himself, he will also step into an official career in the future, and sooner or later he will have to face such a situation, first practice not to be stage fright, and can also accumulate some experience for future interactions.

The two took a deep breath, and under the encouragement of Rong Shui, they walked out of the middle of the road one after the other, blocking the way of Zhan Kezhen's sedan chair.

"Presumptuous! How dare you troublesome people obstruct the prefect!"
