"Why are you here, County Magistrate?" Li Zhang couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he saw the young man in front of him. The person who bought the pig's belly turned out to be Han Qi's brother County Magistrate Han.

"If you have something to do, I happened to see you selling things here, so I'll take a look!" County Magistrate Han showed a gentle smile at this time, and then asked strangely, "Didn't you say you are folding baskets? When did you switch to selling pigs to the water?"

"I just changed my career today. After all, the Cherokee is not a serious business. It was just a temporary solution that I had no capital before. Now I have made some money, so I changed my career and sold braised goods to the water." Li Zhang also explained with a smile. He was still very grateful to the county magistrate Han, and the other party was good. Lu Wu said that he was also a practical person in the yamen. From this point, it can be seen that Han Qi and his family have a very good tutor.

"Heaven moves hard, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement. It doesn't matter if his background is low. With your personality, you will definitely achieve something in the future. However, I still hope that you can read more books in the future so that you can broaden your horizons and be a useful person for the country and the people!" County Magistrate Han couldn't help but pat his shoulder and inspire him when he heard Li Zhang's words.

"Thank you, the county magistrate!" Li Zhang nodded and thanked him, then cut two taels of pork belly for the other party, put it into the sesame cake that County magistrate Han had just bought, and then delivered it to the other party.

County Wei took the sesame cake and paid, then took a bite and tasted the taste, and then immediately praised, "Good skills, pigs are so delicious when they are in the water. No wonder I heard many people on the dock just now saying that your water is delicious!"

"Although pork is cheap meat, the rich are unwilling to eat, and the poor are not good at cooking, but as long as they are carefully prepared, the taste may not be worse than mutton." Li Zhang smiled again at this time. In fact, he was comparing himself with pork. Although both he and pork were from low-class backgrounds, he believed that he would never be at the bottom. With his ability, it would not be difficult to become popular in the Song Dynasty in the future, but now he has not yet figured out what he should do in the future?

What Han County Magistrate admired most was Li Zhang's ambition. He praised him a few more words and then turned around and left. However, at this moment, he suddenly thought of something again. He turned around and said to Li Zhang with a heavy weight: "I forgot to tell you that Liu Er, who reported the case last time, died."

"Liu Er? It was the one Liu Er who killed his eldest brother without his knowledge?" Li Zhang recalled this and then remembered the identity of Liu Er.

"Yes, just this morning, Liu Er ran to the yamen and died by hitting the wall. Speaking of which, he was also a pitiful person. His son killed his elder brother, and then his son was also killed by his accomplices. Moreover, because of his report, his son was also criticized after his death. Many people have poked his backbone in the back in the past few days. As a result, Liu Er couldn't stand this kind of discussion. Today he ran to the yamen to commit suicide, and the yamen runners at the door did not stop him." County Magistrate Han sighed and said again.

Li Zhang was speechless after hearing this. In the Song Dynasty, there was no crime to hide. Instead, it stipulated that "kindness and relatives are hidden". In other words, if relatives commit crimes, other relatives have the obligation to help him conceal. Moreover, the government will not judge his relatives as a crime because of this, and even relatives can refuse to testify and identify the perpetrator. Therefore, Liu Er reported the case and found out that his son was the murderer. Although he helped the government, he was criticized by public opinion. It is estimated that this is also the main reason for his suicide.

"Okay, you're busy, I won't disturb you!" County Magistrate Han said goodbye to Li Zhang again at this time.

"Stay on the county magistrate!" Li Zhang suddenly thought of something at this time. He wanted to inquire with the other party, so he hurriedly called Han County Wei.

"What's the matter?" County Magistrate Han stopped when he heard this, and turned around and looked at Li Zhang again and asked.

"I want to ask the county magistrate about the divine bird. I wonder if you have seen the divine bird with your own eyes?" Li Zhang said again at this time. He has always been thinking about the divine bird, and his feet are almost ready, so he also wants to see if the divine bird is a plane. But when Lu Wu said that all the other side was blocked by the imperial guards, he wanted to inquire about it. Maybe he could find an opportunity to go in and take a look?

"Divine Bird?" County Magistrate Han didn't expect that Li Zhang would inquire about the divine bird for no reason, which made him frown. Then he said, "When the divine bird appeared that day, I just looked up and looked at it a few times. Later, it landed on the earthen mountain to the west, and the yamen also sent people, but it was taken first by the imperial guards, so I couldn't see the divine bird up close."

"So that's it. I heard that Your Majesty also went to see the sacred bird, and an accident happened. I wonder if it was true?" Li Zhang asked again at this time. Last time, Lu Wu was unwilling to say more, and there was no need to find out about His Majesty in the market, so Li Zhang wanted to ask County Majesty Han, and the other party should know what happened to His Majesty the Emperor.

However, when County Magistrate Han heard Li Zhang's words, his face changed. Then he looked around very vigilantly, and then lowered his voice: "I don't know who you heard about this matter, but you must not inquire again. And you must remember that you must not inquire about things related to the palace during this period, otherwise it will only cause trouble!"

Seeing that even County Magistrate Han was so secretive about this matter, Li Zhang felt a little worried, but this made him even more sure that something serious had happened when Emperor Zhao Huan went to see the divine bird, otherwise people in the officialdom would not be so taboo, and they would not even dare to mention it.

"I understand, thank you for the county magistrate's reminder!" Li Zhang immediately bowed to the county magistrate Han to thank him.

County Magistrate Han nodded when he heard Li Zhang's words, and then he was about to leave, but suddenly asked Li Zhang: "By the way, do you know where Lu Bantou went? I didn't see him this morning. Liu Er died at the yamen and he still needs to deal with it."

"Uncle Wu came to me this morning to buy some water for breakfast. I haven't seen him since then. Could he be going to handle any case?" Li Zhang immediately replied. Although Lu Wu's position as a troupe is not high, he is very busy. It is normal not to see anyone for three or five days.

"If he went to handle the case, he would usually report it in the yamen, but today there was no one, and he didn't bring other yamen runners. This was really strange." County Magistrate Han said to himself with confusion at this time, but then he thought that it would be useless to tell Li Zhang that these things were useless, so he quickly said goodbye again, and Li Zhang also watched the other party leave the dock.

At the same time, in a small wood outside Bianhe Town, Lu Wu held a thug Hou San in one hand and slapped Hou San to the ground. He then pleaded with mercy and said, "Mr. Lu, please spare me, I have no idea about Taishan and bullied you, and I will never dare to do so again in the future!"

"Don't dare? I think you kid is quite brave. He is not ruthless when he robs my nephew's business!" Lu Wu did not hesitate at all, and stepped forward and punched and kicked. He practiced martial arts skills. He once cut over a dozen robbers by one person. He could hit ten with one hand, and he was very heavy, but he beat Hou San and screamed in pain, with blood everywhere on the corners of his mouth and nose.

However, Lu Wu's subordinates were sensible. Although Hou San's face was covered in blood, he would not kill him. Otherwise, with his martial arts, he could kill half of Hou San's life with one punch. In the end, Hou San gave up resisting and lay on the ground with his head in his arms and let Lu Wu kick him.

Lu Wu finally vented his anger, then stopped beating, and then kicked Hou San with his feet and said, "Don't pretend to be dead, stand up for me!"

Hou San was completely defeated by Lu Wu at this time. He stood up tremblingly and begged for mercy and said, "The young man will never dare to do it anymore. Please give up the young man and return the business of Cheluo today!"

"Bah! My nephew has long looked down on the broken business of Zheluo. The most important thing you should do is to steal my nephew's business and bully them. Do you really think I am a vegetarian?" Lu Wu said directly at this time, saying, "He is not a good person. In fact, good people can't be the head of the yamen. It is just one of his personalities."

"Yes, yes, yes, the villain knew his mistake. When he saw Mr. Li in the future, he would definitely hide!" Hou San cursed and swore.

Seeing Hou San's appearance, Lu Wu snorted coldly. He knew such a rascal. Although he was waving his tail in front of him now, if they found a chance, he would definitely take revenge hundreds or thousands of times. However, he was not worried at all. He said again: "Do you know what I am going to do for you?"

"Ah?" Hou San was stunned when he heard Lu Wu's words, thinking that you were not looking for me to teach me a lesson and venting anger for Li Zhang?

"Hmph, I don't know if you are stupid. I'll ask you, what did my nephew say to you when he was at the dock before?" Lu Wu finally asked with a serious look.

"What... what?" Hou San still didn't understand what Lu Wu meant.

"It was before I appeared that he said a few words in your ear, but it scared you to take a few steps back!" Lu Wu asked impatiently.

"Oh, I said, but your nephew is really not easy to mess with. I just stole his business, but he killed me..." Hou San told the way Li Zhang said to poison the leftovers, and finally he still showed a little fear on his face. After all, such a vicious idea was not like a child could think of.

"Get out!" Lu Wu waved his hand after hearing this. He found Hou San and wanted to ask clearly about this matter. As for beating him and venting his anger, he just did it with his means.

Hou San didn't expect Lu Wu to let him go so easily, but he didn't want to be beaten anymore. He turned around and rolled and crawled out of the woods, while Lu Wu stood there showing a complicated expression, seemingly happy but not happy, seemingly worry but not worry?
