The fat rat was walking across the road, suddenly stopped, raised its head, and looked at the movement in front of it.
This is a village. One person is carrying a bag and saying goodbye to the rest of the people.
"Don't send me away, it's okay. If you can't come back, I hope you can help my brother more."
The man saluted everyone and then left.
He was walking in the mud with his head buried, looking very worried.
As soon as I walked out of the village gate, I almost bumped into someone.
The man hurriedly avoided it and looked up at the strong man in front of him, "It's Sun Jun. Are you coming back from hunting?"
Sun Hu nodded expressionlessly and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the county seat."
The man gritted his teeth and said with determination, "My herbal medicine has been taken away. I'm going to report it to the official."
"Sun Hu" was very surprised, "Report to the official??"
The man reacted and hurriedly said with a smile: "Sun Jun doesn't know yet, but a new Mr. Liu has been appointed in the county. When I was in Dongshi, I heard many people talking about him."
"He helped the common people everywhere, dealt with many bad guys, and helped many people get various compensations."
"Everyone says he is a really good official!!"
"I just pointed out that those herbal medicines can't just let others take away my livelihood. I have to go find this Mr. Liu. I heard that he is always patrolling inside and outside the city. I want to go to the official road to stop him."
"Sun Jun, then I will continue on my way!"
The man saluted Sun Hu again, his eyes became more determined, and he walked quickly towards the road in the distance.
There was only one "Sun Hu" left, stunned on the spot.
"What the fuck."
Liu Taozi rode the old horse and galloped on the road again, the dust was flying.
Someone poked his head out from the courtyard wall or gate.
"That is Mandrill!!"
"Wow, you are really tall!!"
It only took Liu Taozi more than ten days to build his reputation in Cheng'an. Perhaps because he was too unconventional, his deeds spread quickly. In just a short period of time, many people knew that there was a good person in the county government.
official!
And this is really rare.
There are more and more rumors about Taozi. Some people say that he is a cannibal, some say that he has eyes under his armpits, and some say that he is possessed by evil spirits.
Without exception, the people portrayed him as a very terrifying image. It seemed that only such a person who was more terrifying than the evil ghosts could suppress the ordinary evil ghosts for them.
They were both afraid of Tao Zi and respected at the same time.
Liu Taozi would still patrol in person, from inside and outside the city to the countryside. His horse would often have one or two human heads hanging on it to accompany him throughout the journey.
And not everyone who looks at him is admiring.
Liu Taozi ran past, and the attic on the side was full of vicious, disgusted, and frightened prying eyes.
The four of them were sitting in the attic, staring outside.
These four people are from well-known wealthy families in the county, including Lecturer Lu.
They watched Taozi disappear into the distance, gritted their teeth, and looked at each other.
"There is no news about Mr. Tu Nan."
"I'm afraid I'll be harmed by this thief."
"well."
They sat down again, looking sad.
"We can't let him be so unscrupulous anymore. We must find a way to get rid of him!"
"He's causing trouble in the county. Those traitors are using his name to commit evil everywhere!"
Someone said sadly: "I originally bought some land, but recently, dozens of unscrupulous people said they wanted to report to him and blackmail me. I dare not refuse to give it."
"My nephew is such a good person, but just because he had a few conversations with his neighbor's wife, he was falsely accused, tortured by that cruel official, and died miserably!!"
Several people complained to each other, and in the end, they shed tears of grievance.
"If this continues, will the people in this county still have a way to survive? Traitors are running rampant, so we must find a way!!"
After hearing what they said, Lecturer Lu stroked his beard and said, "I thought that after the county captain arrived, he would punish traitors like him. I didn't expect that the county captain would be so cowardly."
"Too many people have died in his hands, and just a few of us."
Lecturer Lu looked at them, "There are many thieves who hate us and have tried to harm us in the past. If these people want to take advantage of Liu Taozi's influence and falsely accuse us of our behavior, will we still have a way to survive?"
Everyone nodded, "Mr. Lu, you read the most, why don't you think of a way?"
"Maybe we can sue him too?"
Lecturer Lu smiled bitterly, "Easier said than done."
"Now Lu Qubing is protecting him, and Lu Qubing is the county magistrate after his illness. In this county, there is simply no way to overthrow him or deal with him."
Everyone was also discouraged.
The old man's eyes were filled with tears, "Are we going to allow him to do evil in this way?"
Lecturer Lu pursed his lips and took a deep breath, "I have a way to kill him, even the county magistrate can't protect him."
"oh??"
The other three people hurriedly raised their heads, "Mr. Lu, what is the solution??"
Lecturer Lu looked at them, "Everyone, is there no one in Cheng'an County who can force the county magistrate to change his mind?"
After hearing his words, everyone was a little stunned, "How can anyone in this county do that?"
They said something and suddenly stopped, their eyes shining.
At this moment, they all thought of a person. In other words, they thought of a family.
There are indeed people who can make the county official lose face.
There are many local families in Cheng'an, such as He, Lu, Cao, etc., but these are all small families and can barely be regarded as small powerful families. However, Cheng'an is not without big families.
Cheng'an Murong's family.
The family of Murong Yan, the governor of Zhaozhou, Duke of Chengyang, and former general of Zhennan, who is deeply loved by today's people.
This is an old family. After Emperor Xuan of Yanwu, Murong Xin, his father served as the governor of Nanton in the previous dynasty.
In Cheng'an, this family was a powerful one. If Murong Yan came home, the county magistrate would have to greet him.
The three people immediately began to tremble.
"No, no, Mr. Lu is talking about the Murong family, right? Who are we? How can we communicate with them?"
"If we can have some connection with the Murong family, do we still need to be afraid of Liu Tao?"
They all knew very well that if the Murong family wanted to take action against Taozi, Lu Qubing would not be able to be protected. Even the county magistrate would have to consider the gains and losses.
But they couldn't persuade the family to take action at all.
Lu Gong looked at their expressions and knew what they were thinking. He smiled and said, "I know what you are worried about."
"Why do you need to socialize with them? As long as someone reports on the Murong family, Liu Taozi can do it himself, wouldn't it be fine?"
The old man looked at Professor Lu complicatedly, "Mr. Lu, don't think that Liu Taozi is really a madman."
"Does he dare to take action against the Murong family?"
Someone else said: "Besides, who would dare to report on their family? General Murong has a strict upbringing, a good family tradition, and often helps the people. This is impossible."
The smile on Lecturer Lu's face solidified, and he said seriously: "I don't know their family tradition, nor what kind of person General Murong is. I have never met him."
"It's just that when I was studying in Yecheng, I met General Murong's nephew, and we were acquainted with him."
"This man is a good drinker and a womanizer. He was expelled for committing crimes in Yecheng. Now in the city, he is definitely not a 'good family tradition'."
"As for the matter of reporting to the official"
"The common people are unwilling to report to the officials, so why can't we find 'common people' to report to the officials?"
After hearing his words, everyone was thoughtful.
"But if you do this, will you offend the Murong family?"
"How could it be? We invited him to drink and have fun. Why should we offend him?"
"Then Liu Taozi dares to take action?"
"Isn't it best not to dare? If he doesn't dare to take action against the Murong family, will those untouchables still dare to rely on his prestige to come against us?"
"If he dares to take action, the Murong family will kill him directly. No matter what, we will not suffer any loss."
"only."
Lecturer Lu looked at the old man in front of him, "I heard that you have a good wine that has been stored for a long time at home. I can arrange the rest. That is, the wine must be good, so good that the Murong family can come to the banquet."
Everyone fell silent. It wasn't that they were reluctant to part with some good wine, they just felt that doing so would be extremely risky.
They are hesitant whether risks and profits are equal.
Lecturer Lu's face turned cold, and he reminded: "Everyone, just when you are hesitating, those untouchables who were at odds with each other in the past must also be hesitating whether to report to the official."
"You guys need to make your decision before they decide."
At this time, several people hurriedly raised their heads.
"Okay! Just do what Mr. Lu said!"
"Kill Liu Taozi! Bring peace to the people!"
