Chapter 337 The Mid-Autumn Festival Bandit (2)
Yang Yun, Jiang Nian and his son left Yangjiaji in the early morning of the third day, first went to the Daqing River ferry to Zhongzhou by water, and then took the dry road to the capital.

After Yang Yun left, everyone felt uncomfortable for a few days and gradually got used to it.Aunt Li continued to do her business, and Yang Mo continued to study books.Li Zhu still grows and sells vegetables and fish as before, and tends the fields and fruit trees.

Ning Ximai never bothered him again, and after a few days of worry, Li Zhu's heart slowed down.Maybe, he just thought of it on a whim, and he forgot it in a few days.After all, she is not a big beauty who can make men fascinated.

The days, like water, slipped by without a hitch.

During these days, Li Zhu heard the news that the new county magistrate suppressed the bandits.It is said that he was a merchant who passed by Qinghe County with a business traveler, and was robbed by the bandits from Beiwu Mountain.The merchant took a few followers to the county government to report the case.In fact, many such things have happened before. At that time, Baizhi County used a dragging formula.

On the surface, it is said that the investigation will be done slowly, but it will take half a year and a few months. Those officials and businessmen are all from other places, so how can they afford it.In the end, he had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky and left resentfully.Next time, I would rather take a long detour than pass through Qinghe County.Just because Bai Jin didn't dare to suppress the bandits doesn't mean Chen Jin didn't dare.Since he took office, he has long been dissatisfied with the robbers in the north and south Wushan. Apart from handling official duties, he usually trains soldiers.

This time, the merchants sued the officials, and it happened that the recruits were also beginning to have a small success, so they just used it to practice their hands.

So Beiwushan became their first target for training.

Beiwushan was taken to the lair by officers and soldiers, and a lot of property and food were found.

The county government posted notices asking people who had been stolen or robbed to collect their property.

The belongings of the businessman who sued the official were also recovered.Other businessmen, upon hearing the news, came to the county government office with the attitude of giving it a try.The government thoroughly investigated the case, and anyone who had sued the government before and clearly stated the amount of the stolen property would be compensated accordingly. This rule continued to apply until all the property found in Beiwushan was exhausted.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Jin wiped out all the bandits, large and small, around Qinghe County, and even swept up the previous three-way areas.

Of course Li Zhu didn't have the opportunity to witness this grand event with his own eyes, but the matter was widely circulated among the common people.

The location of Qinghe County is good, it is a transit zone connecting the north and the south.However, in recent years, banditry has been rampant and they have repeatedly robbed passing merchants. They would rather take a long detour than pass through here.Now most of the banditry has been eliminated, and the number of business travelers passing by is gradually increasing.When there are more people, the county will become more prosperous.

The smile on Aunt Li's face is getting more and more day by day, because the stewed meat business is much better than before.

Aunt Li said: "Xinzhi County is the real Lord Qingtian." Speaking of this, she said again: "Oh, I heard people say that Xinzhi County is very young. At first I thought it was the same age as Baizhi County. What do you say The county magistrate is also surnamed Chen, he is from the family of Young Master Chen Guan, so he must be the second cousin from last time, right?"

Li Zhu nodded: "Auntie, you really guessed right."

Aunt Li opened her mouth wide in surprise, and shouted, "My mother, it's really him. Why didn't you tell me?"

Li Zhu said: "I just found out."

Aunt Li was pleasantly surprised: "The county magistrate gave my family a gift, and you said that if I tell the story, I won't envy the villagers to death."

"No one will believe you when you say it. After all, they didn't see it with their own eyes, and they said you were bragging."

"That's true, I won't talk about it. Just have fun."
