[Brothers, the foreplay is still the same. I have been flipping around during the new book and asked for recommendation votes~~Wow, thank you]

In the Wang family's mansion, two men in black cotton robes were sitting in front of a table of sumptuous wine and dishes, one of which was tall and thin, with a dazzling red birthmark on his face raised his small wine glass and touched his bald head opposite him, "Third brother, this time we came to the city to avenge our elder brother, we have decided whoever succeeds, who will be the leader in the future... Of course, we are still brothers who live a life!"

The bald man with a big head is the third leader of the bandits in Shangyang. There are a few scaly patches on the top of the bare head, so he calls himself a tiger spot. So after getting such a nickname, when the second leader Liu Yidao mentioned this matter again, the guy immediately opened his mouth and laughed wildly: "Second brother, this matter is determined, and the eldest brother doesn't know what evil he has suffered, and he actually died in this broken place... I heard that the boy named Wang, he would live in Xilai Inn, why don't we do it while the moon is dark and windy!"

"Hutou, you're drunk. It's almost Lantern Festival today. The moon is so big. Besides, what's the hurry to go to the city just now... We'll go step on the plate tomorrow morning and finish the matter sooner!" Liu Yidao showed a sarcastic smile on his face, and raised his wine glass and smiled in a dark way, "By the way, Wang Si, I don't know how that trick made a grudge with him. I see that he's very generous in his actions... Drink and drink, and then go to deal with the two little girls sent by the guy!"

At this moment, Lu Hong took the little beggar Ye Yuanliang to walk on the dim street. Mengyin County is a small place, so naturally there is no lively place among the night markets. The only thing you can see the lights is just a few foreign pharmacies and small brothels in the city. He was thinking about solutions while walking, and the change in the situation was obviously completely beyond his expectations!

My journey through time has just improved a little, but I didn't expect that the little rascal who was beaten casually would actually pull up the local bandits. If it was a face-to-face confrontation, with his fighting skills and pistols, he would obviously be enough to deal with bandits who were only holding cold weapons. However, now this group of vicious bandits have entered the city. It is said that open guns are easy to hide, but hidden arrows are hard to defend against, so I still have to plan them well... As for that Wang Si, this rascal must be dealt with properly!

Suddenly he remembered that there was a scoop behind him, so he turned around and looked at Ye Yuanliang. The news was really a loss to the little guy's notice, "Xiaoliang, please go to the inn with me. I'll ask the guy to make some delicious food for you, how about it?"

"Master, those are bad guys!" The little guy asked this question...

Lu Hong nodded slowly, reached out and pulled up his dirty little hand, and said with a smile: "Let's go!"

Unexpectedly, the little guy's reaction was again out of his expectations, and he quickly pulled out his hand and kowtowed again, "Master, I won't go anymore. I still have to bring food back. My girl is still waiting!"

Ye Yuanliang looks only thirteen or fourteen years old. Now he mentioned that he has a sister, which made Lu Hong stunned. Unexpectedly, this little guy has already taken on the responsibility of supporting his family at such a young age. He felt a little warm and asked, "Xiaoliang, do you have any family?"

The little guy looked at Lu Hong. The two contacts made him feel inexplicably trusted by the tall and calm man in front of him. But when he talked about Taoist family, he couldn't help but lower his head. After a while, he stammered: "Master, it's only me and my sister. Grandpa went out to find food last month, but he never came back... My parents died of illness last year!"

The evil old society... When hearing this sad story, Lu Hong, who claimed to be a calm person, couldn't help but feel ache, and the line he heard the most in his time. If he hadn't traveled through this era, how could he have seen it? Hearing such a tragic story, the misfortune of life always exists, but in his own era, children at least have the right to survive and choose the future!

Suddenly, all the great achievements he had just passed through this era seemed to have become very far away. The young man and his sister in front of him became the most important issue he needed to consider. "Xiaoliang, take me to see your sister!"

Lu Hong made this decision himself so suddenly, but the result was a little beyond his expectations...

Under Ye Yuanliang's leadership, he left the main street running north and south of Mengyin City, and after turning around, he finally saw the place where the little beggar Ye Yuanliang usually lives. This is a large abandoned old house. Among the ruins, there were many simple thatched houses of various shapes... Perhaps the "house" is too high-end to describe it, most of which are just a little bit of shelter from the wind and rain!

For Lu Hong, the groups of fleeing farmers and beggars seen on the street were already the lowest image he could get. However, when he arrived here, he deeply realized the prototype of the red model drama he saw in his previous life. He just learned from Ye Yuanliang that the reason why this ruined wall can still become their place of residence is that a fire here once took hundreds of lives, so that no one else dared to build a house here... The Chinese have deep-rooted fears of the souls of wronged people.

Walking on the ruins, Lu Hong could deeply feel the harsh living environment here, full of an unpleasant smell everywhere. Fortunately, the weather has been very dry recently, otherwise it would be as good as the mudflats in the training ground during his later special training... Finally, the two of them stopped in the middle of a wooden shed hut. Ye Yuanliang walked outside one of the wooden sheds and shouted softly, "Uncle Wang... Uncle Wang..."

Someone responded in the wooden shed, and then a strong man bowed and came out of the dark shed, with a small shadow of bigness following him, "Xiao Ye, come back..." The man patted the little beggar Ye Yuanliang, and when he looked up, he saw Lu Hong beside him, he was shocked.

"Master Lu...how did you find this place!"

As soon as these words were said, Lu Hong was also surprised. It was very dark here. He did not look at the man seriously, but he also felt that the man looked a little familiar. He heard him call out his surname and looked carefully. However, it was Wang Daosheng, the bronze-faced man who was called by him in the afternoon!

"The king's way is better..."

"Yes," Wang Daosheng responded. As soon as he saw Lu Hong, he thought he had come to him. Now he understood that it should be related to the little beggar Ye Yuanliang, and hurriedly explained: "Xiao Ye is too young and my baby is not big, so the wife during the day helps take care of her!"

Lu Hong nodded, but felt a little happy. Wang Daosheng seemed to be a good choice. He went here today and was the right one. From this matter, it can be seen that this guy's character is excellent...

At this time, another village woman came out, holding a black thing in her hand. After coming out, she didn't notice Lu Hong. She just stuffed the thing into the little beggar's hand and kept reminding her, "Xiao Yezi, I didn't ask for anything today, take it back and eat it slowly..."

When Wang Daosheng saw that his wife had come out, he didn't have any rules and muttered around. He hurried over and pulled his wife. The woman was shocked when she heard her man say it and hurriedly came over to greet Lu Hong. Wang Daosheng grinned and explained, "Master Lu, we are a little less etiquette in the countryside. Don't be dissatisfied!"

Lu Hong nodded calmly and didn't say much. Before leaving, he reminded Wang Daosheng, "Old Wang, don't forget the important matter tomorrow!"

"Master Lu, remember!" Wang Daosheng responded loudly with a grin. However, he looked at Lu Hong's figure who was leaving with the Ye brothers, but his expression became a little strange. It was not until his wife pulled his clothes behind him that she turned her head and bowed into the shack.

"Master, that young official always looks a little strange!" His wife muttered when she entered the shack.

When Wang Daosheng heard this, he was also stunned. After a pause, he pulled the woman into the room. He carefully found a few thick boards on the top of the wood, which were considered as doors. Then he reminded the woman, "Axiu, Mr. Lu is not a simple person... By the way, you can get up and fetch water. Remember to wake me up!"

The magistrate Wu Daqiu's mansion is naturally completely different from the slum in the southeast of the city. It is brightly lit and several guests are visiting. How big is Mengyin? Wu Magistrate suddenly started to make such a coal mine. Other leading figures in Mengyin County have known it for a long time.

In the Qing Dynasty, there was a seventh-rank magistrate in the county government office, and there were two ninth-rank civil officials. One was a county magistrate, equivalent to the deputy county magistrate of later generations, and the other was a chief magistrate, who was in charge of grain, horse, taxation, household registration and other work. These two were combined with the second magistrate of the county government office, and the other was called Dianshi, commonly known as the fourth master, who was in charge of county documents and other affairs. The responsibilities were equivalent to that of the county public security bureau chief in later generations. Because he had no taste, he was also called a 9th-rank 18th-rank. Dianshi was not at this level, but he was also an official, wearing a carved gold roof and a five-python four-clawed official uniform.

In fact, this official position is not absolute. Most county governments may have only one or two of them. Mengyin County is just a second-class county. Now, except for Wu Daqiu, there is only one county magistrate Pan Qisheng, who is actually a donor to the official position. He is also a local household in Mengyin. The Pan family in Mengyin is a well-known local household.

The coal mines are produced in Wennan. It is not a secret in Mengyin. However, the crude coal has a strange smell when it is burned. This is mainly due to sulfur-containing compounds and some impurities. Even locals rarely use that thing, and this thing is not very beneficial when mining. In the early years, Qian Yiduo had to do this, but the result was that these big families knew about it. Anyway, they found that the trafficking of crude coal was not profitable at all.

Now the Wu County Magistrate suddenly started a coal farm with great fanfare, and Pan Qisheng quickly received various news. Even Lu Hong accepted Wu County Magistrate Guan Wen, which was no longer a secret, so he came to visit him that day. In addition to this politeness, he naturally transferred to this industry.

After hearing the flattery between County Magistrate Pan and Chen Dianshi, the magistrate of Wu naturally smiled. This officialdom was like this. In the Qing Dynasty, officials like the county magistrate must be appointed in another place due to restraining local officials. However, the county magistrate, chief clerk, and dictionary are mostly local people. Therefore, once they have to do things, the county magistrate is still inseparable from these local tyrants.

Today, these two subordinates came to the door with a lot of gifts, so he naturally ended up doing a favor and happily introduced the hydraulic coal preparatory machine designed by Lu Hong. However, Wu Daqiu only commented on the profitability of this thing as "may be able to make a surplus".

The coal mine in Wennan was taken first by the county magistrate. Naturally, the county magistrate Pan and Chen Dianshi could not grab the deal. Pan Qisheng seemed to have already planned and immediately spoke: "Mr. Wu, the industry you are doing will be a blessing for the people of Mengyin in the future. The official is also interested in imitating it and is preparing to take out some savings to follow the adults to prepare for the industry. Among them, you will take 20% of the shares. After all, these industries still need to be guided by the adults in person... Please also ask the adults to Yucheng!"

Wu Daqiu has always been a noble person, and he doesn't like Pan Qisheng and Chen Dacai, who were born as donors, at all. However, the rules of social interactions in the officialdom have long been clear. The subordinates give Jingyi to their superiors. This statement that there is no corruption at all is the rule! Today, seeing these two people not only politely, they offer Jingyi, but also promise to do things, but they just let themselves talk about money. Lu Hong takes over the rest of their work. He immediately accepted it with joy and smiled. Naturally, it was a waste of time to not take it!
