The Luocheng government office is brightly lit at night.
Zhou Dunru, the leader of Luocheng Mansion, was sitting in the inner hall, frowning as he read today's report.
In the Luocheng market, warriors fought and fought, four officials were injured, hundreds of people were disturbed, the scene was severely damaged, and rumors spread among the people. Every report and feedback was not what Zhou Dunru wanted to see.
"Confucianism disrupts the law with literature, and chivalry violates the law with force." Zhou Dunru sighed in a low voice: "When will this end?"
At this time, someone in the hall reported: "Reporting to Mr. Futai, Mr. Zhao Da from the Six Gates has arrived."
Zhou Dunru sat up instantly: "Are you here? Please come quickly!"
"No need to invite me, I'm already here." Saying this, Zhao Jing, dressed in black, quickly walked into the hall and held his hands towards Zhou Dunru: "I've met Mr. Futai."
Zhou Dunru stood up and greeted him: "You are finally here, but you miss me so much."
Zhao Jing looked at Zhou Dunru, who was wearing an official robe: "I think Mr. Futai would rather not see me."
Zhou Dunru laughed loudly: "Mr. Zhao Da, you are joking. Although I really don't want to see you often, but if something happens, I will think of you immediately."
Zhao Jing shook his head and said with a smile: "Well, I always go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Mr. Futai should understand why I am here."
"You must be here because of the fight between warriors that happened in the Luocheng market during the day?" Zhou Dunru asked knowingly.
"Lord Futai is really aware of everything." Zhao Jing nodded: "I received the news and didn't even bring any disciples with me. I rode horses all night and came here. Do you have tea and snacks?"
"We talked over a drink."
Zhou Dunru was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Come here! Serve Mr. Zhao Da some tea, some good tea."
Even late at night, for a Luocheng official residence, as long as the master of the mansion has not rested, the tea boy serving him will stay up all night long.
The hot tea was quickly cooked, and the table was filled with the best tea snacks. Zhao Jing looked at the dazzling array of tea snacks in front of him, reached out and picked up a piece of mille-feuille pastry and put it into his mouth. He poured another mouthful of hot tea to wash it down, and let out a satisfied sip. Breath: "If I had known today, I would have gone to Liumen, and I would have gone to take the exam myself. If the examiners take the Jinshi exam, there will be no more promising people than Liumen."
"What Brother Zhao said is different." Zhou Dunru shook his head and sighed: "You in the world are envious of our fine clothes and fine food, high officials and generous salaries. Why don't we envy your carefree and happy life, playing in the world?"
"I can only say that each has its own difficulties."
"Everyone has their own difficulties." Zhao Jing laughed and said, "When I came here, I had already received a lot of news, otherwise I wouldn't be so anxious."
"But Lord Futai, do you know the origins of the warriors who gathered in Luo City today?"
Zhou Dunru showed a curious expression: "Judging from the commotion, it seems that it was the result of a fight between third-grade warriors?"
"I didn't expect that after so many years since you left Bailu Academy, you still remember the ninth grade of Jianghu?" Zhao Jing looked at Zhou Dunru and teased.
Then he picked up another piece of meat floss cake and put it in his mouth. He felt it was crispy and soft, and he couldn't help but praise: "This meat floss cake is well done. Can you take some with you as dry food when I leave?"
"Just remember to come to my place to enjoy the autumn breeze!" Zhou Dunru scolded with a smile, and then nodded: "Okay, you can go to the kitchen to have a look when you leave, and you can take as much as you want."
"So sincere?" Zhao Jing looked at Zhou Dunru and said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that I will take away your kitchen?"
"If I'm not honest, you'll accuse me of being stingy when I go back." Zhou Dunru shook his head and smiled bitterly: "And I'm all ears. Since you know who the warriors who are fighting in the market this time are, you might as well tell them. Listen." Mobile version::
"Can't wait?" Zhao Jing shook his head and smiled: "If I were you, I would rather not listen to this. Not seeing is pure, and not hearing is empty."
"Speak quickly!" Zhou Dunru couldn't help but urge.
"Okay, I spent a few days in Mengzhou County a few days ago. Do you know what happened?" Zhao Jing said.
"I seem to have heard about this?" Zhou Dunru thought back: "It seems that Mengzhou County wiped out the Seventeen Bandits of the Yellow River, right?"
"Exactly." Zhao Jing nodded and said: "However, the Seventeen Yellow River Bandits have been causing trouble on both sides of the Yellow River for many years. This time the entire army was wiped out. This is a very happy thing, but do you know that there has been no news of any commendation from the superiors in the past few days? "
Although Mengzhou County is close to Luocheng, it is not under the jurisdiction of Luocheng government office, so Zhou Dunru really doesn't know the details of this matter.
Only then did he suddenly realize: "Emotion, are you here just to eat, drink and tell stories?"
"You promised to solve my urgent need?"
"It's not an urgent matter. Anyway, it's a long story. Let's talk about it." Zhao Jing had already made up his mind when he came: "And I really came all night long. I was sleepy and tired, and I didn't even have a drink of water." , come here old friend, you give me some tea to soothe my throat, isn’t that the right thing to do?”
"Hurry up!" Zhou Dunru was really impatient: "My head is about to explode."
"Your head will explode after hearing this." Zhao Jing said with a smile: "In short, we have found out the destruction of the Seventeen Bandits of the Yellow River."
"It has nothing to do with Mengzhou County Government."
"Of course, the Mengzhou County Government is closest to the stronghold of the Seventeenth Bandit of the Yellow River, and it suffers the most severe abuse on weekdays. Now that the Seventeenth Bandit of the Yellow River has been destroyed, even if there is no great merit, there should be shade and shelter, right?"
Zhao Jing looked at Zhou Dunru: "But in fact, the officials of Mengzhou County Government from top to bottom, including the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the chief registrar, and even the Dianshi, are all arrested and awaiting execution. The new county officials to fill the vacancies will arrive soon. , do you know why this is?"
"You really told me about books!" Zhou Dunru was furious.
"Withdraw, someone, please remove all the tea and snacks from me!"
"No, no, no, no, no, no!" Zhao Jing stretched out his hand to stop the servants who were about to leave the table: "I said it's not okay? I said it's not okay?"
Saying this, Zhao Jing reached out to pour tea and drank it all in one gulp.
"Because the Seventeen Bandits of the Yellow River were originally killed by a twenty-eight-year-old woman with one sword and one person. She then took the treasures accumulated by the Seventeen Bandits of the Yellow River and her female relatives down the river, planning to report to the Mengzhou County Government. "
"In the end, hundreds of households from Mengzhou County, along with officers and soldiers, surrounded her and arrested her as a remnant of the Seventeen Yellow River Bandits."
"At the same time, Huang Zhan, the county magistrate of Mengzhou County, also wants to convict this woman of death so that he can take credit for the destruction of the Seventeen Yellow River Bandits."
Zhou Dunru frowned when he heard this, and became angry. He slammed the table angrily: "How unreasonable, this person dares to act so arrogantly!"
"Not killing is not enough to rectify the people's hearts!"
