One evening.
In the backyard of Xu's house, among the garden paths, Xu Zhen was chatting with Bingshan Jade Sister Li Chan'er.
The golden afterglow reflected on Li Chan'er's delicate face, making her look radiant and truly beautiful.
"So..." Li Chan'er pinned the fly whisk to the inside of her elbow and stood with her hands down, floating away from the dust. "Meng Zhixiao is already homeless?"
"Yes," Xu Zhen nodded, "Your Majesty, the county magistrate, awarded all the property of Meng Qingxi's family to Meng Zhichao and his wife as compensation."
"But," Li Chan'er said, "Meng Qingxi not only harmed Meng Qinghui's family, but also harmed the whole village!"
"I have to say," Xu Zhen looked into the distance and said pretending to be profound, "those villagers have bad roots. They forcibly divided the property of Meng Qinghui's family and exploited Meng Zhichao and his wife for three years. Do we need to pay them any more compensation?"
"Oh," Li Chan'er nodded, "What about the county magistrate? I think this is what you meant! Then... what happened to the property of Meng Shaojun's family?"
"Well," Xu Zhen smiled cryptically, "but it's not convenient to reveal it!"
In fact, all the property of Meng Shaojun's family was naturally confiscated and returned to the county government for disposal, but Xu Zhen deliberately kept it a secret in order to withhold it for future meetings.
"In that case..." Li Chan'er seemed to be immune to Xu Zhen's naughtiness, and immediately stopped being angry and said calmly, "I've finished speaking, please come back!"
Li Chaner obviously wanted to unite Xu Zhen. She concluded that Xu Zhen deliberately chose such a beautiful evening to meet her, and he definitely did not just report the progress of the case to her calmly.
However, she once again failed to guess correctly, but when she saw Xu Zhen saluting respectfully, shouting "Miss, please rest early", she actually turned around and left the backyard...
this……
Li Chan'er looked up and watched Xu Zhen go away, feeling extremely angry in her heart. If the Taoist nun could curse, she probably really wanted to curse loudly.
This damn Xu Zhen!
Li Chan'er stared coldly, going crazy in her heart. She really wanted to fly the Emei thorn out of her sleeve and stab Xu Zhen through her...
Why……
Why! ?
She was very puzzled, why could this seemingly ordinary Xu Zhen be lingering in her mind?
I obviously don't pay attention to him, but it seems that I am always thinking of him in my heart?
She originally thought that Xu Zhen would analyze the affairs of Tianxuan Sect with her to see if it was possible to reveal their secrets in the future.
However, he just... left! ?
asshole!
shameless!
crazy……
Miss Li greeted Xu Zhen over and over again in her mind using the names she could think of.
This bastard obviously has a wife and a personal maid, but he still said in public that he wanted to pursue this young lady. Talking about pursuit, but now it is like this...
However, as she cursed, she couldn't help but think of:
once having seen the best, the rest is not worthwhile looking……
Sparse shadows slant across the clear and shallow water, and the faint fragrance floats in the moonlit dusk...
The angry horse in white clothes is happy to take revenge. If you can be your companion, what else can I ask for?
Can I dance for you again? I am the white fox you released thousands of years ago...
And every time she thinks about this, she can't help but want to see Xu Zhen. Even if she hears Xu Zhen say a few crazy words, she seems to feel better...
…
At the same moment, Xu Zhen was also thinking about Li Chan'er's ethereal beauty.
He wished he could spend the night chatting with this Bingshan Jade Sister!
But experience told him that he absolutely couldn't do that.
As an ordinary person like me, if I want to keep Li Chan'er in the spotlight, I must not be too vulgar or boring.
Otherwise, a near-perfect knight-errant like Li Chan'er would have no chance at all...
Nowadays, Xu Zhen has both a wife and a charming maid to accompany him. At Li Chaner's place
There was almost no privacy, but the more so, the more it aroused Li Chaner's interest.
Could it be that...Xu Zhen sometimes feels guilty and feels like a scumbag.
But... I am a time traveler and I don’t have a golden finger. Can’t I still enjoy the benefits brought by the couple system in this era?
Besides, I am sincere and determined, I will definitely be responsible for everyone, and I will never be a scumbag...
…
The next morning, Xu Zhen came to the Yamen to go to work.
Despite the worries of the Tianxuan Secret Party, the past few days have indeed been peaceful. Ever since the Yaochang Village case was handled, the Yamen has become increasingly deserted.
The county magistrate Chen Houlu served wolfberry tea again, the government officials chatted and slapped each other, and the policemen laughed and played, everyone was leisurely and happy.
Xu Zhen was a diligent person, and when he had nothing to do, he found many books on humanities and history, looked through them, and wanted to have a deeper understanding of this Daxuan Dynasty.
The Daxuan Dynasty had a vast territory and had a total of twenty-four states.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but the name of almost every state corresponds to the dynasty Xu Zhen knew before.
For example, they are currently located in Songzhou, Hanzhou in the southwest, Qingzhou in the northeast, Yuanzhou in the north, Chuzhou in the south, as well as Tangzhou, Mingzhou, Qinzhou, Xiazhou, etc.
There are counties under the state, and the counties are under the counties.
In other words, the Daxuan Dynasty adopted three levels of local management: state, county, and county, which was equivalent to the provinces, cities, and counties in the original world.
The Song State where Xu Zhen is located is slightly different from other states, because the most central location in Song State is Xuanmiao City, the capital of the Daxuan Dynasty.
Xuanmiao City is also known as the Holy Capital. Although it is directly managed by the royal family, it has a close relationship with Songzhou due to its geographical location.
After all, Songzhou officials were close to the water and had close contacts with the Holy Capital, so they had advantages that other state capitals could not match.
It is precisely because of this that Han Wentao, the governor of Songzhou, has such a strong backing.
Of course, Xu Zhen also had a purpose in checking the information. He wanted to check up on the Wanfu Palace assassination incident forty years ago, trying to learn about the mysterious Xuanmen organization...
It's a pity that the county government's book resources are scarce, and I couldn't find any relevant information after searching for a long time.
But at this moment, a high-pitched, childish, yet extremely urgent voice suddenly came from outside: "Cousin, cousin... Cousin Xu Zhen... where are you?"
Why?
Xu Zhen quickly closed the book and came outside to take a look.
At this time, I heard Huniu Shen Yu yell: "Where did you come from, little baby? You can't make any noise here!"
"I..." The call stopped immediately, as if she was frightened by Shen Yu.
At this time, Xu Zhen had already seen clearly that the person coming was none other than Gao He, the little book boy whom his second cousin was interested in.
"Gao He?" Xu Zhen was surprised and asked quickly, "Why are you here?"
"Cousin Xu Zhen, wuwu..." Unexpectedly, the little book boy cried when he saw Xu Zhen, and hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Go and have a look! Something happened to our family, wuwuwu..."
"What!?" Xu Zhen's eyes widened and he asked quickly, "Tell me, what happened?"
"Officers, wuwu..." Gao He cried, "Early in the morning, a group of official officers appeared out of nowhere. They broke into our house and started robbing things. My wife and the second young lady were both... bullied by them. Already..."
