On the outskirts of Hengshan Township, in an unnamed deserted valley, a fire was raging, black smoke billowing into the sky and scattered by the wind.
Standing above the barren valley, I saw corpses of enemies being thrown into the sea of fire and burned to white ash. The hatred in my heart eased a little. I burst into tears and spoke in barbaric language, as if to comfort my dead relatives.
Almost all of his relatives died, and only one young brother followed him.
For a long time, Shan Shan stopped mumbling and wiped away his tears. Liu Jing slowly asked, "Brother Shan, what are your plans for the future?"
Shanwei shook his head. He grew up among the mountains. Now that his family has perished, he has become a bereaved dog. He is at a loss about the future, except for revenge.
Liu Jing had already expected it and said: "If not, why don't you follow me to Ling County for the time being?"
Shan Cheng already knew that Liu Jing was sent to Ling County, not far away, as the county magistrate, and that Liu Jing was willing to take in his bereaved dog. Naturally, he was very willing in his heart, and he immediately said loudly:
"Liu Jun, I know that there was a man named Jin Rixi in the Han Dynasty. He was a northern Hu'er. Because he was loyal and respected the Emperor of Han, he not only served as a high official himself, but also benefited future generations. I decided to use him as my father.
Model, what do you think of Liu Jun changing his name to Shan Rixi?"
Liu Jing was startled at first, then he laughed and said: "In the Jin Dynasty, Yi and Di subjugated the country, captured the Han Dynasty, and succeeded as a general. He was passed down to the country's heirs. He was famous for his loyalty and filial piety, and he was a servant for seven generations. How prosperous! Brother Shan actually has such ambitions.
, it’s really rare.”
At this point, Liu Jing paused and continued: "Jin Rixi's nickname is Uncle Weng. Since Brother Shan has decided to change his name, he might as well adopt the ligature as well."
"Uncle Shan Rixi Danweng?" Shan Rixi nodded heavily and said, "Okay. From today on, I will be called Shan Rixi Danweng Uncle."
When Liu Jing returned to Hengshan Township, it was already afternoon. He said to the village man who was always beside him: "In this battle, three people from Hengshan Township died in the battle. They all died defending their hometown.
We must not let the families of the deceased feel heartbroken."
The countryman nodded solemnly and said, "What Liu Jun said is that after the villain reports to the county government and gets approval, he will immediately issue a pension."
"How can distant water save me from thirst?" Liu Jing couldn't help but frown.
It would be so sad if the family of the deceased borrowed loan sharks because they had no money to bury the deceased, and ended up with the whole family being ruined.
"Although they didn't die for me, they were ordered by me. I can't just sit back and ignore this matter. Let's go to my house later to get money. For the three deceased, each of them will be given 10,000 yuan for burial expenses."
, to solve the urgent need.”
"This...?" The country man could not help but be startled when he heard this and hesitated to respond.
Liu Jing looked displeased and said, "What is this?"
The country man didn't dare to hesitate any longer and said "promise" honestly.
Liu Jing then asked: "The injured should also be comforted. Those who are seriously injured should not hesitate to take medicine. If you don't have enough money, you can ask me for it."
"promise."
The next day, with the officials and people of Hengshan Township seeing them off, Liu Jing's fleet set sail south again. In just one day, it entered the boundary of Lingxian County.
An old classic of the Han Dynasty: "The chariots and chariots are driven with red curtains hanging down to meet the state boundaries." That is to say, when the state shepherd and the state governor are appointed, the governor's subordinates must greet the state borders. This situation is not limited to state departments and counties.
This is true for all government offices, county and temples.
When Liu Jing went to Ling County this time, he did not take an official car, but took the waterway of his own ship. In addition, he did not want to "trouble the troops and mobilize the crowd", so he did not let the county officials come to the county boundary to greet him.
The Xiangshui River in the section from Hengshan to Lingxian is more tortuous than the section from Linxiang to Hengshan, with twists and turns and nine twists and turns.
The Xiang River runs through the entire territory of Lingxian County from south to north. The Chengshui River from Lingling County comes from the west, and the Leishui River from Guiyang County comes from the east. The three rivers merge into one north of the city wall of Lingxian County. There is also Zhongshui River in the south.
In just one county, there are actually four rivers within the territory. It is not only rich in water resources. This is why in ancient times, Emperor Yan Shennong would teach people to sow grains here, and it became an important granary of Chu State during the Warring States Period. There is no way, innate conditions
It's really great.
However, it is such a treasure land. It is not good to build the county seat anywhere, but it is built in a low-lying area. As a result, "heavy rain and heavy waterlogging, light rain and small waterlogging, nine floods in ten years."
Every year, people are either repairing dams or building city walls, which wastes a lot of manpower and material resources.
In addition, Lingxian County is located at the intersection of three counties, and there are frequent internal and external disturbances. It is a "granary of Chu", but it is classified as a "drama county" and is regarded as a place that is difficult to govern.
Liu Jing's fleet sailed against the current, turning from the Xiang River to the Laishui River. The main ferry in Yinlin County was located on the bank of the Lei River in the east of the city.
The officials in Lingxian County received the news that Liu Jing was about to arrive early and went to Leishuijin Ferry to greet him.
Not only the county officials, but also numerous people from Lingxian County were waiting for Liu Jing's arrival here. After all, Liu Jing was a legendary figure in Changsha County. Everyone was very curious and wanted to see with their own eyes what Liu Jing looked like.
County temples and county offices are roughly the same. The county officials are also headed by meritorious officials, with the title of chief official, and overall command of the court, followed by court officials, who are in charge of sacrifices, and have a high status, which is equivalent to the five sense officials of the county. There are also those who are called five sense officials.
Then there are the subordinate officials headed by the chief bookkeeper, chief recorder, and thieves Cao, as well as the household, warehouse, field, gold, and law Cao.
The meritorious officer of Lingxian County is named Gong Ying. He is over thirty years old, seven feet tall, with straight eyes and a straight nose. He has a handsome appearance and a thick beard on his lower chin.
A man who was more than seven feet tall, with a strong body and an appearance somewhat similar to Gong Ying said: "Second brother, Liu..." Seeing Gong Ying staring at him fiercely, he quickly changed his words: "When will Tingjun finally do it?"
arrive?"
The county official office can be called the county temple or the county court, which is why the county head is named Tingjun.
"Shut up." Gong Ying reprimanded in a low voice. The speaker was his fourth brother, Bing Cao Gong Wu. Even though he was just the chief official of a Cao Cao, he was actually in charge of the military affairs of a county, from county captain to thief Cao.
You have to look at his face.
Of course, although Gong Wu was brave, he was careless. The reason why he was able to control the military power in the county was not because of any special talents, but entirely because of the blessing of his family.
Gong Wu was arrogant and arrogant, and he ignored everyone except his second brother. If Gong Ying scolded him directly, he could only listen to him honestly and at most complain a few times in his heart.
The person standing on the other side of Gong Ying said: "Fourth brother, if you talk too much, you will be wrong. You are right to listen to the second brother." He is the third eldest son of the Gong family, his name is Gong Fu, and now he serves as the official of Jin. His main responsibilities are
He maintains public security on Jindu, inspects and supervises pedestrians, and has a humble but powerful position.
There are more than three officials in the Gong family. The eldest Gong Fei is appointed as the local mistress of Zhongshui Township, and the fifth son Gong Ge is the chief of the pavilion. There are five officials in the Gong family.
