Gu Huaijin watched these people go up the mountain along the main road, and asked curiously: Are these several large boxes used for hunting?"

Lu Zhao found an ox cart and gave him four money. After getting on the ox cart, he said slowly, "The cloth bags are full of hunting, the spears and nets are big, the boxes are mostly small hunting traps, and there are tents for food and so on..”

"Oh." Gu Huaijin suddenly realized: "So you have to live in the mountains for hunting? Don't wolves and tigers appear at night?"

Lu Zhao shook his head and said, "There is no way. There are no hotels or restaurants in this village, and hunters can only bring their own dry food. If you go down the mountain to the town, you may not be able to find the traps and markers when you come back the next day.Bring your own dry food and tents, and a lot of people die every year because of this.”

Hotels and hotels?

These words were poking in Gu Huaijin's heart, without a restaurant, wouldn't he just work in a restaurant?If he could open a restaurant here to attract these hunters, he would be able to make money. The more he thought about it, the stronger Gu Huaijin's desire to rent out the fifty acres of land.

Gu Huaijin frowned, and asked in doubt: "If you can't go to the town, can you go to the village to pay for accommodation or ask for a bowl of food?"

It just depends on how much they can earn by buying a piece of skin as hunters, so why would they not be willing to part with the few dollars?

Lu Zhaodao: "In the beginning there were some, and there were villagers who would let them stay overnight, but that family had no girls or younger brothers, and some who bullied them forcibly finally gave them a few taels of money because they lost their reputation, and graduallyThe villages in the village do not allow these people to enter their homes."

"So it's so bad." Gu Huaijin said indignantly.

"It's not entirely true. It's not human's business that hunters usually don't do this all year round. Just like the group of people who would rather go up the mountain to feed mosquitoes than bother people, those who go to other people's houses are mostly human.The kid is here."

Gu Huaijin suddenly remembered the white-faced and soft-spoken leader this morning, and asked, "Do those people often come to the mountains to hunt? Is that blue-clothed man the leader?"

Lu Zhao regained his energy after thinking about it, and said happily, "It's the boss, Tang Ling."

Seeing that Lu Zhao was obviously happy, Gu Huaijin couldn't help but wondered, "Is it amazing? Those little brothers of his seem taller and stronger than him?"

"Tang Ling started to come to the mountain from his ancestors. At the beginning, he picked wild vegetables and later he started hunting. He was really famous because he beat wolves with bare hands in order to save his little brother. He killed three wolves in a row. When he came down from the mountainHis body was covered in blood. Tang Ling beat the wolf with bare hands to save his younger brother, which made those flesh-and-blood men even more sincerely admire, after all, no one can beat him."

"Tang Ling also set a death rule for those brothers who are particularly fierce, and they are not allowed to go down the mountain alone to knock on the door of the farmer's house."

The bullock cart is under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village. It is said that it is the entrance of the village and not the edge of the village. There are a few families on the outskirts, all of whom are stationed from outside. Among them is Wen Qiliang's house.Go to the perimeter.

As soon as Lu Zhao finished speaking, he saw a man slipping out of the big team going up the mountain, a big man from Tang Ling in blue clothes and shorts, ran into Mrs. Wen's house and knocked on the door of Mrs. Wen's house.

I saw Lu Zhao on the way and said hello.

"..."

Gu Huaijin didn't care about why Tang Ling's big man took the lead in violating the death rules. His attention was on Lu Zhao's acquaintance with Tang Ling. No wonder his tone was brisk when he mentioned Tang Ling just now.

"Do you know Tang Ling?"

"I know, brother Tang taught me hunting."

When Lu Zhao started hunting, he saw a rabbit chasing him fiercely. He was also a scholar who couldn't make traps because of his dead brain. It was when Tang Ling met Lu Zhao, who was rampant in catching rabbits, that he led him to hunt when he was on the mountain.

The two talked and talked all the way to the town.

Lu Zhaolu was already thinking about what to buy, so he bought cloth and asked Xiu Niang to make two bunt clothes for Gu Huaijin, and ordered two buns and chaos at the steamed stuffed bun stall in the town, listening to the people at the stall talking.

"I heard that the magistrate bought another 500 sheep. Now let's see who's sheep are gone."

"What are you going to get? Yesterday, I just bought 500 sheep and half of them were taken away. Today, there are only a few old and weak sheep left. No one wants them. The county master started to give money."

"Hey, that's a lot of sheep lost? In two days, nearly 500 sheep were lost. Some sheep-eating monster came out."

The man who was pawing at the wonton cut it and said: "There is no monster who eats sheep. They are all claimed by those landlords, old money and restaurants. It is too clear to say that the county magistrate is honest and upright.If you don’t go looking for yourself to buy a sheep to pay for it, if you don’t pay for it, then let the leader go if you don’t have it, this is not a foolish official.”

After talking about a bowl of chaos, he finished eating, wiped his mouth and walked away from the man who was talking.

Confused county magistrate Han Lingzhi is only in his early twenties. It is said that his family is a senior official in the capital, and he has a brother and sister. He is the only son of a concubine who was sent to a town far away from the capital to be a county magistrate.

I have no worldly experience at home, no experience as an official, and no convincing power. The people below came to report the loss of the official and did not search for it. The county lord Han Lingzhi had to buy sheep out of his own pocket. Once he bought it, he would buy five hundred sheep.The six sons of the county Weisun in the village persuaded the master to give the money to the subordinates and ask them to find the source so that they can clean it up.

So Han Lingzhi gave the money to Sun Liuzi and asked him to come out and find someone to investigate. Why are livestock often lost in the county?

Sun Liuzi was wandering in the street, as he was patrolling the street, he saw the scholar Gu Huaijin while observing the movement.

Not everyone knows what Gu Huaijin looks like, but even the ten miles and eight villages know that there is a scholar named Gu Huaijin, and the sixth son knows that Gu Huaijin also met when he was receiving the title deed of a scholar in the county government.

Scholars, not only some villagers showed some respect, but the county government also responded with smiles. If there is no one scholar in a few years, he will definitely become a great success.

What's more, a scholar can also work in the county government office and receive a small salary. He knows a lot and knows a lot. Asking a scholar to help him look at the case can be regarded as paving the way for a scholar's future official career, and generally no one refuses.

Sun Liuzi came forward to say hello and sat opposite Gu Huaijin and Lu Zhao.

I have long heard that Gu Xiucai was taken into a brother's house by his aunt for four taels of silver. When I saw it today, I thought that Gu Huaijin was so miserable that he came to do justice for him. It turned out that Gu Xiucai was playing wonton with her husband.It's superfluous to come here by yourself.

Gu Huaijin was at a loss, this man came over to the empty table next to him in official clothes, instead of sitting, he was just doing what they were doing at this table.

"Gu Xiucai, you don't remember me. I am the sixth son of the county magistrate in the county government. I saw you last time when I came to the land deed."

Sun Liuzi said with a smile all over his face.

"Yeah." Gu Huaijin nodded, really didn't remember, it was the original body and not him, and the original body didn't care about these things and Gu Huaijin didn't search for this person either.

Sun Liuzi also wanted a bowl of wontons and continued: "Why is Gu Xiucai coming to town today when he is free?"

"Come and buy some things with Fu Lang." Gu Huaijin finished eating, put down her chopsticks and talked to Sun Liuzi. He is a member of the government, so if he is willing to talk to him, he can't know what to do."The county captain also came to eat wontons."

Lu Zhao was also listening.

"No, no, I haven't eaten all day because I've been busy with some errands, so Gu Xiucai is here to talk."

thing?Did Gu Huaijin think of what those people said just now, about the loss of sheep?The county magistrate has already paid for it, and they still need to use these brats for something.

Gu Huaijin nodded, and continued to ask, "What is the county captain worried about?"

"Damn, it's not that the town keeps throwing away some animals for no reason, and the county lord is not enough to plug the hole. But it's a big or small thing, but our county lord is the first thing that the new official takes seriously..

Gu Huaijin listened, combined with what the two said just now, the county master is so good, and there is no news about the livestock, but if the calculation is based on the loss of 500 sheep, it will definitely not be transported out of the city for a while, and the countyThe master paid attention to it and must have checked the inspections entering and leaving the city, but no sheep were found.

Even if you kill and eat meat, you can’t sell it all at once, and if you keep it at home, it will definitely consume fodder. You can check the entry and exit of fodder these days.

Just thinking of this, Gu Huaijin was still thinking about what to say?Sun Liuzi asked first: "Gu Xiucai has great supernatural powers. It's been a long time since he was dismissed from office. I don't know if he is in the city or outside the city?"

In fact, how can a majestic county lieutenant fail to find out about this?The new county magistrate has just been reassigned, and the yamen's shift manager is still winking. Seeing that the county magistrate can spend money to settle the matter, he didn't seriously investigate the matter at first, so Sun Liuzi didn't know that the animal was there when he took over.In town or out of town.

Sun Liuzi wandered around with the fifty taels of silver given by the county master. Originally, Han Lingzhi wanted to give two hundred taels of silver to buy sheep, but Sun Liuzi reminded him that it is better to help the people.

"Don't dare to dare, how come the students have great powers, it's just a humble opinion."

Gu Huaijin bowed her hand, she really didn't dare to bear it.

"Gu Xiucai, please tell me." Sun Liuzi's wontons were also ready, and by the way, he paid for Gu Huaijin's table.

"It's better for the county lieutenant to check the difference between the fodder entering the city these days and whether it has increased. If it increases too much, the cattle and sheep will still be in the city. There are also some butcher shops."

Gu Huaijin pondered carefully.

Sun Liuzi frowned, nodded little by little, and said, "Yes, yes, it was Gu Xiucai's words that woke up the dreamer. I'll go check it out, Gu Xiucai and Gu Fulang take it easy." After finishing speaking, he got up and waved his hands.gone.

Lu Zhao's eyes were full of wisdom at the moment, and he looked at Gu Huaijin and said in admiration, "What a smart brain."

Gu Huaijin blinked.

So, is this his wife praising him?

After eating the wontons, the two of them went to the tailor shop to get their clothes, and then went to the rice store to buy some millet and rice. They only had 300 Wen in their hands. Lu Zhao also wanted to pull a piece of pork for Gu Huaijin to replenish his body., and then go to the pharmacy to get some medicine.

Gu Huaijin weighed the money in his hands, because he really doesn't need to take medicine in his current condition, he has gradually recovered since he woke up in Lu's house, and he can also buy some meat. There are two growing bodies in the family, so he went to pull a piece of meat.People went home immediately without delay.

Gu Huaijin also spent money to have an idea of the money here, but Lu Zhao didn't have a big idea. If he bought skins and earned money, he would buy Lu Yun beautiful hairpins, and the chickens and ducks at home were all Lu Nian wanted to raise.If Lu Zhao has spare money in his hand, he will buy it back if he agrees.

So apart from the four liang of silver that was robbed and spent, the one or two of the skins bought yesterday cost about the same, and still have four or five taels in hand, which is enough for their family not to work for a year, and they have to save money.frugal.

Gu Huaijin and Lu Zhao continued to go home in a four-dollar bullock cart, chatting with Uncle Hu who was driving the cart.

It turned out that Uncle Hu’s family had planted more than 80 mu of land, so he bought several more cows, and the cows also gave birth to calves. There were five or six cows in the family.money.So the family life will be passable, usually drink a little wine and eat some side dishes, the house built by all three sons can marry a wife, life is quite nourishing.

When he returned to the village, Zhou Zhan was at the door of his house.
