Chapter 144: The Eight Fist of the Honest Man

"Just tell me what's wrong." Jin Zhuoyan interrupted Lu Yi.

"This..." Lu Yi touched the tip of her nose and smiled dryly, "It's hard to say. There's a little thing. This Lady Guo Wu often goes to Zhi Yan Zhai to buy rouge pollen. The ladies in the shop all know that Guo Wu

The lady's rule is that no matter how much you buy, you must account for each item one by one.

For example, if you buy four boxes of rouge and three boxes of pollen, take one box of rouge, pay as much money as you want, put the money away, take another box of rouge, pay again and put it away, just like this, one by one you will

Put the account away one by one."

"Why do you want to buy it like this?" Jin Zhuoyan was startled after hearing this, and King Qin also looked at Lu Yi in surprise.

Lu Yi spread her hands, "Yes, Mrs. Guo Wu said that her mother-in-law asked her to settle the accounts by herself and buy the rouge pollen. If she doesn't buy it this way, she won't be able to settle the accounts."

King Qin was stunned for a long time, then burst out laughing.

Jin Zhuoyan couldn't believe it, "Isn't this really just for entertainment? It's just that you can't settle the accounts? What's the point of settling this? Is this a fool?"

"I can't say she's stupid, she's very pretty, she looks like... a really nice little lady.

There are also a few small things. It is said that I went to school with my husband when I was four or five years old. Later, I hired a special female teacher to teach her alone. Until now, I have memorized a three-character classic for more than ten years, and I have not memorized it all.

, from the front to the back over and over again, until halfway, the previous ones are forgotten.

Also, I sleep very well. I said that once when I was eight or nine years old, I fell asleep on a stone bench facing the slope in the garden. I turned over and fell down, rolling for more than ten feet without waking up."

Jin Zhuoyan was stunned for a long time and took a long breath, "Li Wu is stupid enough to marry such a person again..."

The sound of King Qin's laughter changed. While waving at Jin Zhuoyan for unknown reasons, he looked at Lu Yi and asked, "Where is Li Wu? What does he mean?"

"Li Wu came back and said: The Guo family's family background is too high, and this marriage is too good for him. He said that his mother had told him to lower his head and marry a wife, and it would be okay, but the Guo family's family is too good.

, His neck will break if he lifts his head, it is really impossible to climb up." Lu Yi said while laughing.

Jin Zhuoyan laughed loudly and kept stamping his feet, "I just like Li Wu's bastard punch, hitting him on the tip of his nose every time."

King Qin also laughed, shaking his head as he laughed. This Li Wu was shrewd and foolish, and his foolishness was shrewd. It was really interesting.

"Find a way to find a way to make this marriage and Li Wu's words known to Tang Chengyi." King Qin smiled for a while and then ordered.

"Yes." Lu Yi leaned forward and agreed.

………………

County Magistrate Li came to Gaoyou County, visited Shangguan to receive lessons, visited the Confucian Temple, paid homage to Gaoyou County's City God, Land, and various ghosts and gods such as river gods, prison gods, yamen gods, wharf gods, etc., and then went to the county to learn the words.

The county school students were summoned to take another exam, and then they began to inspect the towns and villages...

These are all routine tasks, but Gaoyou County is much larger than Hengshan County. These routine tasks are not as routine as they were in Hengshan County, which could be completed in ten days and a half.

Magistrate Li is a conscientious and responsible magistrate. When inspecting various townships and villages, he must walk there by himself. He, Guo Sheng, and Master Chen spent a long time lining up in front of the map. No matter what, it would take three or four months to complete.

, it was agreed that Guo Sheng and Master Chen would take turns accompanying the inspection. However, just after two or three days of inspection, County Magistrate Li's plan was disrupted.

Probably because the Yamen God failed to worship him, the Gaoyou County Yamen suddenly issued a complaint. In just four or five days, there were two half-person-high piles of pending files piled up in the custody room. The eight-character wall of the Yamen

In front of them, a bunch of grotesque plaintiffs and defendants cried and made a fuss.

County Magistrate Li was dumbfounded by this sudden complaint and the plaintiff and defendant in front of the Yamen, and then he was busy on his back. He had no choice but to let go of the routine inspection.

During this time, no matter how busy Guo Sheng was, he never delayed Li Wenlan and Li Xia's homework. However, sometimes in the early morning, before accompanying Magistrate Li to handle official duties, sometimes in the evening, while inspecting or finishing official duties.

after.

In the past few days, I have been accompanying Magistrate Li to trial cases every day, and the class normally happened in the afternoon.

Taking advantage of Li Wenlan's endorsement, Guo Sheng and Li Xia talked about filing a lawsuit against the disaster.

"I have read these files carefully. They are really things that happened after the county official received the seal. After two days of trial, four cases were closed, and seven new cases were accepted."

Li Xia's men paused and looked up at Guo Sheng.

"The day before yesterday, I advised the county magistrate to take it easy. There must be a reason. The night before yesterday, and during the day yesterday, I went out to inquire, but it was useless. I asked someone to inquire after leaving the county government office, and someone came to talk to me.

"The eyes on Guo Sheng's face were full of disdain. He glanced at Li Xia, and then said: "I have to say this more broadly. Gaoyou County is an important place where cars and boats meet on land and water. It is known as the meeting place of boats and cars...

"

Li Xia raised his head and glanced at Guo Sheng. He didn't need to say this.

Guo Sheng understood very quickly, "Yes, these girls naturally know. Because of this, the girls also know that Gaoyou has always been a battleground for military families, with heavy troops stationed in the past dynasties. The previous dynasty has always been a military town. Because of this,

In the Gaoyou area, there have always been very many stragglers who have escaped for various reasons. They have gathered to cause harm for more than a year or two. Together, in the Gaoyou area, idlers, rogues and scoundrels form groups and gangs.

, it’s not just one or two years since it caused harm to the village.”

Li Xia put down her pen, tilted her head slightly, and listened very attentively. She really didn't know much about these low-level details.

Seeing that she was listening intently, Guo Sheng continued: "Now in Gaoyou County, there are all kinds of businessmen, businessmen, and interviewers..."

"What are Guanxing, Daxing and Guixing?" Li Xia asked.

Guo Sheng was startled. This was almost the first time she asked what it was. She also didn't understand...

"The gangsters are...those scoundrels, who are roughly divided into different professions and use blackmail and deception as a means, are called stickmen. When they get together, they are gangsters. There are two methods of gangsters. Take the goose head and

Collect white debts. Geese are known for being stupid. If you take the head of a goose, you are looking for a fool. If you ask about someone who wants to commit adultery or commit a crime, it is a trivial matter, or if they have violated some prohibitions. Then you will keep a close eye on the person until he takes action.

Or when someone commits a crime, a few people will come out and take advantage of him, threatening to sue officials and extort money."

Guo Sheng said it very clearly, and Li Xia listened attentively without any expression.

"Collecting white debts is even more abominable. It involves tricking and coercing wealthy people, mostly businessmen, especially merchants traveling to and from Gaoyou, to write down IOUs and then use the IOUs to demand debt collection. Among these complaints, the case of collecting white debts is
