Anlin Mansion, the back hall of the government office.

Officials from the prefecture gathered outside the house, anxiously waiting for the prefect's treatment results.

Finally, the old doctor with a gray beard walked out with a medicine box, and officials from all over the country who were waiting around immediately surrounded him.

"How is Mr. Lin's injury?"

A conscientious conscience asked anxiously.

The old doctor shook his head and said helplessly: "I will save the life of the prefect for the time being, but I can only breathe a sigh of relief. I don't know when I will wake up. I have left two prescriptions, decocted and used externally. If I can survive ten days and half a month, my life will be fine...but, my arm is disabled, and I can't do anything."

Upon hearing this, everyone rushed into the room to check the situation.

As soon as I entered the house, a strong and pungent smell of medicine came to my face.

I saw Magistrate Lin lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his face pale, his forehead was covered with wet wipes, his broken legs were tied with splints, and his right arm was broken with elbows. He was wrapped in bloody white cloth on the broken arm, and hemozhan was applied inside, and his injuries were barely controlled.

Seeing this scene, all the officials paused, their faces showing heavy expressions, as if they were all sad, but in fact they had their own thoughts.

As a disciple of Qin Prime Minister Lin, there were naturally many people who flattered him, but now he suffered this disaster and lost his arm and his career was broken.

Many officials secretly contributed to him. In addition to being sad, they were thinking about who should climb after losing their backing, and they were anxious.

Some of the officials who did not deal with were secretly happy and pretended to be sad, while others had their eyes flashed and they had ulterior motives.

A conscientious magistrate was unwilling to give up and asked the old doctor: "You are a famous doctor in Anlin's house. Do you really cannot continue the broken arm?"

The old doctor smiled bitterly and said helplessly:

"Although I know how to cut my limbs, I don't know how to cut off my limbs and continue. A Xinglin's wonderful hands with such medical skills, except for the imperial doctor, as far as I know, there are only three people in the folk..."

The confidant of the prefect suddenly had a lit up his eyes and he hurriedly said, "Which three are they?"

The old doctor had to answer: "'Golden Needle Doctor' Sun Boqing, 'Miracle' Zhang Jinduan, 'Qingsan Zhenren' Ge Tong... But they were not practicing medicine in Jingzhou's territory, and even if they called in the future, it would be useless. Once the arm was broken for half a day, the gods would not be able to take it."

Hearing this, the magistrate's confidant gave up.

At this time, an official next to him coughed and moved away from the topic and said solemnly:

"The prefect was injured and disabled by the Green Forest. This matter is extraordinary and will definitely shock the government and the people. You must write a document as soon as possible and send it to the capital for 100,000 yuan. In addition, Chen Feng was extremely guilty and was crazy. The yamen has urgently prepared the arrest documents and sent officials to inform the Luhe prefectures and posted them along the way, and this person will be arrested and brought to justice!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and agreed.

Regardless of whether the prefect can survive or not, there must be an explanation for this matter. The thief who harmed the imperial officials must not be let go.

Not only does it concern the majesty of the government, but also the officials present are afraid of following in the footsteps and are both afraid and angry.

Chen Feng dared to hurt the official, one or two, but who knew whether the thief would attack again in the future... The Lu Mansion received the thief's iron spear and had spread all over the prefecture. Master Lu was frightened and fell ill in bed, and the officials of the prefecture were also secretly afraid.

If Chen Feng is not removed, they will be unable to sleep or eat. There is such a fierce man who is free from justice, and everyone will only feel that the official is in trouble.

At this time, an official's eyes turned slightly and said in a deep voice: "When the prefect was killed, the commander of the military commander Deng Zhi was close to him, but he sat down and watched the prefect be harmed by the thief, turned his head and fled, allowing the thief to leave. This is obviously a crime of unfavorable protection and must be severely punished! In my opinion, he was immediately shackled, held a meeting to judge, and was punished to serve as a warning to others!"

"It makes sense. Deng Zhi escaped in the battle and must not be spared!"

Everyone nodded repeatedly.

The magistrate's murder is very important, and someone must be responsible, so naturally someone needs to take the blame. Deng Zhi was completely delivered to the door, and it is not unfair to many officials.

Moreover, Deng Zhi made a bad move. If these warriors escape without fighting but are not criticized, then who will protect their safety? So we have to use this typical attack.

...

Lu Mansion.

Since the day after receiving Zhou Jing’s iron spear, Lu'ancheng has fallen ill and the entire Lu family has also closed their doors to thank the guests.

The whole mansion was panicked, worried, and afraid that the urging Yan Luo would come to visit the mansion one day in the future, so that they could follow the footsteps of He Huang's family.

"The two He Huang families were in charge of the affairs of the two families and died, and they were already dead in name only. If no one presided over the big business, they would inevitably be shared in the future."

"Will my Lu family end up like this one day?"

In the main hall, all the owners gathered together, all of whom were worried.

At this time, Lu'ancheng was ill in bed and did not come to discuss. Everyone could only discuss how to treat Zhou Jing's iron spear letter.

"Then the urge to kill the Yama, if he doesn't get caught in the net for a day, will be hanging over our heads for a day! Such thieves don't even take the prefect seriously, so how can they give up on us? I think we'll still divide the property and run away from our own lives!"

"No! The head of the family is not here, how dare you talk about the matter of dividing the family? Moreover, this matter is a disgrace to the family! It would be better to move the family out of Anlin Mansion and go to another place to operate it."

"Absurdly, my Lu family has been in business for several generations, and it is powerful and powerful. How can we easily give up? Besides, the strong dragon will not suppress the local snake. When we give up our foundation and go to other prefectures, we will become a hot commodity in the eyes of local gentry. We just want to scrape our bones and cut our flesh off, and we will never allow outsiders to gain a foothold! After this Anlin Mansion, we will be on strict guards. The thief may not dare to come back. We will hire more guards with high martial arts skills!"

Many people in Lu's family had their own opinions and argued endlessly.

At this moment, Lu Ancheng walked into the hall with a crutch and trembling. He was weak and seemed to have become ten years older.

Everyone hurriedly stopped and stood up to welcome Lu'ancheng to sit in the main seat.

Lu'an City sat down, took a breath, looked around everyone, and said slowly: "I have thought about it these days that from now on, the weak and strong branches will be separated. Each house will not be allowed to live in my Lu family mansion. If you take money, you will find a living by yourself. In addition, no matter whether the master's family is separated, all the men in each house cannot live in the same prefecture."

Everyone was shocked.

Someone hurriedly advised:

"Honor, how did this make it happen? My Lu family's foundation is divided like this, both the master and all parties have fallen to the same level as ordinary wealthy families, and the family is in a grand manner and will never be the same as before!"

Lu Ancheng glared at him, forced himself to support his weak body, and shouted angrily:

"The prefect was implicated by us, and now he doesn't know his life or death. The court will definitely pursue it. At the same time, the death-seeking Yama is eyeing him. My Lu family is overthrowing! You don't know that the disaster is coming, but you still think about the prestige of the past, but you really don't know how to live or die! The Lu family's family split up so that they can not be caught in one place and continue. In the past, family wealth can still be blessed with future generations, and even if they are not good, they can be a rich man. If a certain branch has a talented and smart person, whether in politics, business or buying land, they will still have the opportunity to occupy one side in the future!"

Everyone was speechless. Seeing that Mr. Lu had made up his mind, even if some people were unwilling to do so, they could only obey and agree.

...

Wujiazhuang.

Wu Zheng and dozens of Lu Mansion servants have been staying here for several days.

After coming back this time, he felt that things changed.

Once, every time I returned to my hometown, most of the villagers would greet him when they saw him, and the shops would give him some small items, and everyone was very friendly.

But this time, Wu Zheng was shocked to find that his treatment was completely different. When walking in the village, he would be warned by the village man and disgusted eyes. Almost everyone ignored him, and he became an unpopular person.

"It's indeed a group of ungrateful unruly people."

Wu Zheng was secretly resentful and did not forget to do serious business. He brought the people back to Wu's village as a place to settle down.

However, almost all the items in the house were moved away, and the servants' yard were scattered, leaving only a few loyal servants to protect their families.

The local villagers and wealthy families knew that the Wu family had children in the prefecture who could be in charge, so they did not make things difficult for the Wu family, but they did not stop the villagers from looting the Wu family.

Wu Zheng felt that this might not be a good intention, because he discovered that the rich and wealthy villagers who once looked flattering and pleasing to him now always smiled and looked meaningful when they saw him.

The household items were divided by the villager. Even though Wu Zheng was angry, he couldn't take them back for a while, so he could only ignore them for the time being.

During this period, he mainly visited the land situation and found that his fertile land was occupied by the village man. He came to ask for the seller's land deeds in the hands of these villagers as evidence, but he was almost surrounded by the village man.

Fortunately, with the guards of the Lu Mansion, the village man dared not do anything to him, so he was in danger.

The buyer's land deed was burned and he had to go to the county government office to reissue it. He was inevitably involved in some money and was not sure if he would be interfered with it.

Butterfly butterfly in the windowsill is like a flying butterfly in a poem

However, when Wu Zheng thought of Mr. Lu behind him, he felt at ease and felt that this matter would be accomplished.

On this day, Wu Zheng and his servants of the Lu Mansion were searching on the street, and suddenly he heard the sound of horse hooves.

Many villagers turned their heads and saw several officials walking into the farm, then dismounted in front of the official government sign set up in the village, took out a few official government documents from their luggage and posted them as notices.

Immediately afterwards, several officials rang the gong, which attracted the villagers around to see it and shouted loudly:

"The thief Chen Feng made a big fuss about Anlin Mansion, injured the imperial officials, massacred wealthy gentry, and trampled on the king's law. The crimes are not allowed! If you see this person, you must report to the yamen and you will get the reward of silver!"

Gu Xiao

Wu Zheng was a literate person, so he came over to read the list paper and knew it was a captain's document at a glance.

The list of articles describes Chen Feng's specific deeds, but only omits the details of the serious injury of the prefect, mainly emphasizing that he killed the He Huang family, and also said that he would kill the other two wealthy families in the future, and next to it was a portrait.

Wu Zheng saw the name of the Lu family in the list, and was shocked. After reading it carefully, he secretly thanked that the Lu family was not the one who suffered, and he couldn't help but feel scared.

If the Lu family is removed, then their last backer will be gone and their family property will definitely not be able to be taken back.

"By the way, isn't this Chen Feng the thief who killed my Wujiazhuang? How dare this person make a big fuss in the prefecture and even the imperial court's official?!"

Wu Zheng felt his mouth dry and his heart was beating wildly.

The death of his relatives at Zhou Jing's hands led to the taking of his family property. He naturally had hatred in his heart, but he was more afraid... How could he get a white man without any power to tie a chicken? Wu Zheng was glad that he was studying in the prefecture at that time and never went home.

Moreover, Wu Zheng thought about it early, believing that for himself, considering revenge before achieving success will only be distracted, and the most important thing in life is to get fame and fame.

As long as you become an official, you will have power. Revenge is naturally no problem. You don’t have to worry about your life, which is much more cost-effective.

There was a reason to be filial. He wanted to study hard when he wanted to get his property back, and took this opportunity to study and ignore anything else.

However, at this time, Wu Zheng couldn't help but be frightened when he saw Zhou Jing's deeds that even the imperial court ordered officials to fight, and he felt that he could not understand, and he didn't understand how anyone would dare to attack the high-ranking officials.

With an official position, he will be protected by the king's law and deserves respect, but how dare the people of this kind of grass-roots be attacked?

If you cannot get privileges, it is different from being a villain and superior to others. So why do you need to study for an examiner?

If you become an official in the future and want to find trouble for such a thief, your life will still be threatened... Then why take risks for such a lowly mud-legged person?
To be continued...
