Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

The yamen servant who greeted him at the door was very polite, bent over all the way, and led Liu Bai to the back house.

Just after crossing the threshold, a man in his 30s, dressed in Tsing Yi and with two beards, hurried over.

"Master, he is the new magistrate of Jingyang County, Han Tong, Han Ziyi."

Shen Wansan whispered next to Liu Bai's ear.

Liu Bai smiled slightly, and took the lead in cupping his hands and said: "Liu Bai, a grassroots man, I have met Mr. Han!"

"Haha, Young Master Liu, please don't let me down. I thought I'd settle down first, and go to the Young Master's mansion for a visit tomorrow, but I didn't expect that it was my fault for bothering Young Master to come here in person!"

Han Tong bowed and clasped his hands, showing the etiquette of meeting a superior.

"Master Han is the parent official of Jingyang County, and Liu Bai's visit is justified!"

The two talked and laughed, and walked towards the living room together.

Shen Wansan and Xu Chu followed behind Liu Bai.

Entering the living room, after Liu Bai was seated, Han Tong slightly nodded to Shen Wansan, and said, "Shopkeeper Shen!"

He looked at Xu Chu again, and praised: "I saw the guard today, young master, so I realized that we also have warriors comparable to Fan Kuai in ancient times!"

Liu Bai smiled and said: "Master Han is ridiculous, but they are just reckless people!"

Han Tong bowed his body, sat beside Liu Bai, and said, "Tea!"

Several yamen servants brought tea, and Han Tong said apologetically, "I just settled down in the government's mansion, and I don't have any family servants to serve me yet. Please forgive me, my lord."

Liu Bai picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Master Han, you are welcome, Mr. Liu is here to ask for something!"

"Don't be afraid of Mr. Liu's jokes. If there is no elder grandson to take care of you, I am afraid that the officials will still be struggling in Longyou. Therefore, if you have something to do, just tell me."

Han Tong even shook his bottom out directly.

"It seems that he really regards me as his own." Liu Bai smiled inwardly.

Since Han Tong is so 'close' to him, Liu Bai didn't bother to speak politely to him, and directly ordered, "Liu has two purposes for coming here, one is to use all the servants in the government office, and the other is to see Mrs. Han Issue an official document to allow the Liu family to acquire all the land in Jingyang County!"

Chapter 24: In the name of the eldest grandson?attacked

"Borrowing government servants is easy to talk about, but the purchase of fields"

Han Tong looked embarrassed.

He thought for a while, and then said: "It's not that the lower official refuted the young master's face, but because the purchase of the land is no small matter, and I asked the young master to give the lower official a few days to think about it."

"Master Han is the lord of the county. If you say a word, who in Jingyang County would dare not obey?" Liu Bai laughed.

He naturally knew that buying a field was not easy at all, and he just wanted to test how much help Han Tong could bring him.

The honor of a county?

Han Tong was taken aback, and quickly waved his hands, "My lord, you must never say that, the next official is just a seventh-rank county magistrate."

Liu Bai picked up the teacup and took another sip, the smile on his mouth gradually disappeared.

Han Tong thought that Liu Bai was angry, so he panicked immediately. He hurriedly stood up and handed Liu Bai his hands, "Young master, if you change other things, if you say a word, the next official will go through fire and water, but there are [-]% of the fields in Jingyang County. It is in the hands of the great families, even the lower officials can do nothing!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and carefully looked at Liu Bai's face.

Seeing that Liu Bai's complexion didn't improve at all, Han Tong secretly groaned inwardly.

He came to Jingyang County this time because he was arranged by Changsun Wuji, and Changsun Wuji had also ordered him to listen to Liu Bai's orders as much as possible. He is just a small person and doesn't know the thoughts of these big people in the court. In his eyes, Liu Bai represents the eldest grandson Wuji.

In case Liu Bai got angry, he would definitely have no good fruit to eat.

But he also knew that the consequences of offending the aristocratic family were no less serious than offending eldest grandson Wuji.

For a long time, Liu Bai did not speak.

Cold sweat broke out on Han Tong's forehead, and he became more and more anxious.

"It's over, I finally returned to Guanzhong, now I'm afraid I'm going to Longyou to eat sand again."

After a while, seeing that he had put enough pressure on Han Tong, Liu Bai said leisurely, "Since Mr. Han can't help it, why don't Mrs. Liu come up with an idea?"

Hearing this, Han Tong breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "My lord, please show me!"

"Since Lord Han does not dare to provoke the big families, why not use the name of the eldest grandson to write letters to the big families. With the face of the eldest grandson, they will not hold on to these lands!"

"In the name of the eldest grandson?"

Han Tong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked a little dumbfounded.

Liu Bai shook his head, "The dignified minister, Pushe, how could he speak up in person just because of a few acres of land?"

As he said that, he put down his teacup and continued: "Master Han is a new official. In the future, he will inevitably have to deal with major families. It is better to write a letter of greeting in advance. In the letter, you can write about the concern of your grandson, and then mention it a little bit. , the acquisition of the field, I think those aristocratic families can understand it!"

Han Tong lowered his head to ponder the meaning of Liu Bai's words.

Standing behind Liu Bai, Shen Wansan wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, his face turned red.

Even if he is experienced, he has to admit that Liu Bai's skill is too high.

There is no shortage of talents in the aristocratic family, and they must be able to understand the hidden meaning in this letter.

Even if they don't want to hand over the fields in their hands, they can't help but because of Changsun Wuji's face.

Of course, they couldn't go to Changsun Wuji to confirm it just because of the few acres of land.

After Changsun Wuji knew about this, Tian Qi would have already been in Liu Bai's hands!

And Liu Bai didn't care whether Changsun Wuji would get angry because of this incident, if Changsun Wuji wanted to get a share of the Liu family's achievements, he had to swallow it!

Even in the future, if someone really asked about this matter, Changsun Wuji would hold his nose and admit that he instructed Han Tong to write this letter!

Shen Wansan secretly extended his thumb to Liu Bai.

The smile on Liu Bai's face flashed, he coughed a few times, and said, "Master Han, is there any difficulty?"

Han Tong gritted his teeth and said, "According to what the young master said, the next official will write a letter now!"

Liu Bai nodded in satisfaction, stood up and said: "Then Liu, I will wait for the good news from Mr. Han!"

After speaking, he took Shen Wansan and Xu Chu and walked outside.

Han Tong hurried forward and sent Liu Bai and others out of the house.

"Congratulations to send your son!"

Shen Wansan was going to preside over the purchase of supplies, and as soon as he left the county government, he bid farewell to Liu Bai and returned to Liu's shop in Jingyang County.

Liu Bai took Xu Chu home, and when he got home, it was just at noon, and he ate lunch in a hurry, Liu Bai had no time to rest, and he had to take Xu Chu out again.

When Cheng Chumo and Chai Lingwu saw each other, they became anxious.

Liu Bai and Xu Chu were at home, they still had some things to do, if they weren't there, they would have nothing to do.

"Isn't Xue Li here? You can practice martial arts with him." Liu Bai said helplessly.

These two 'fools' couldn't help him at all except to cause trouble for him, so he didn't want to take them with him at all.

The two of them glanced at Xue Li who was still eating vigorously while holding the rice bowl, and they both shuddered.

Chai Lingwu held the wooden basin containing the bowls and chopsticks, and begged, "Brother Liu, we promise not to cause trouble for you. If there is anything, just tell us to do it."

"Forget it. In the afternoon, I will take the officials from Jingyang County to measure the land. If you don't find it boring, follow along!"

Hearing this, Cheng Chumo and Chai Lingwu were overjoyed, and went to clean up the dishes with a smile.

Not long after, a group of four rode out on horseback.

Jingyang County is a large county, with farmland accounting for at least [-]% of the area.

This is only the registered farmland. No one knows how much land the landlords in Jingyang County have secretly reclaimed, so it must be re-measured.

The members of Liu's family are all busy purchasing supplies now, Liu Bai just remembered to go to Han Tong to borrow government servants.

To the west of Liu's house, there is an open farmland, and the yamen servants have long been waiting there as ordered.

Just like last time, Cheng Chumo and Chai Lingwu started having fun as soon as they got on their horses.

The two chased after each other, and disappeared after a while.

Liu Bai didn't bother to restrain them, so he and Xu Chu rode forward slowly.

However, just as he was about to reach the place, there was a shrill scream in front of him!

"what!"

Liu Bai's expression changed, and he said, "It's Ling Wu's voice!"

He and Xu Chu immediately speeded up, but they only saw their horses, but no trace of them!

After listening to the sound, I saw Cheng Chumo with a livid face and Chai Lingwu lying on the ground in the grass beside the road!

"what happened?"

Liu Bai hurried forward, and after Xu Chu got off his horse, he looked around vigilantly.

Cheng Chumo held an arrow in his hand, and stared around looking around.

Chai Lingwu was lying on the ground, howling uncontrollably. There was no scar on his upper body, except for an arrow sticking out of his buttocks.

"It hurts to death!"

Hearing Chai Lingwu's angry voice, Liu Bai heaved a sigh of relief.

I've never heard of it, butt arrows can kill people

Liu Bai checked Chai Lingwu's injury and said, "There is no poison on the arrow, it's just an ordinary skin trauma."

"Brother Liu, be careful, these two arrows are aimed at your heart. If Ling Wu and I hadn't been agile, we would have died long ago!"

Cheng Chu said silently.

Just as he finished speaking, Xu Chu suddenly said, "Protect the young master well!"

After speaking, he rushed towards a certain direction and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Chapter 25: Cui Mingan's illegitimate son

Xu Chu went there for a long time and didn't come back. On the contrary, not far away, the government servants who were waiting for Liu Bai and others in the farmland discovered the movement here.

Seeing that Chai Lingwu was hit by an arrow and lying on the ground, all the yamen servants were shocked. They drew out their sabers and formed a circle to protect Liu Bai and the other three.

They all knew Liu Bai's identity, if Liu Bai was attacked right under their noses, Han Tong would definitely not spare them.

After a while, Xu Chu still didn't come back, Liu Bai knew that there was something strange about this matter.

If it was an ordinary person, he would have been captured by Xu Chu long ago.

And Xu Chu has not come back so far, it can only show that the attacker is a master, and there is more than one!

It stands to reason that although Cheng Chumo and Chai Lingwu are dignified, they are still children.

Cheng Yaojin is Chai Shao's enemy, it is impossible to disregard face and attack the two children.

Liu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought to himself, "Either, someone wants to destroy my relationship with the Cheng family and the Chai family by attacking Cheng Chumo and Chai Lingwu, or the assailant mistook them for me!"

Compared to the former, Liu Bai preferred the latter. Cheng Chumo and Chai Lingwu rode the Liu family's horses, and they were too fast to see their faces clearly, so they could easily be mistaken for Liu Bai!

Next to him, although the wound on Chai Lingwu's buttocks had stopped bleeding long ago, he was still howling uncontrollably.

Cheng Chumo was upset when he heard it, and slapped Chai Lingwu hard on the back, "Stop howling! This little injury won't kill anyone!"

Chai Lingwu ignored him, still howling nonstop.

Liu Bai said to the middle-aged yamen servant beside him, "Boss Chen, send someone to send Ling Wu back to Liu's house for treatment!"

Chen Bantou said with some embarrassment: "But Mr. Liu's safety."

"My guards have already gone to chase the enemy, and they will return in a short time. Two or three people are enough. As for the matter of measuring the land, it will not be too late to come back tomorrow!"

Liu Bai had no doubts about Xu Chu's strength. Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, there were not many people who could stand up to Xu Chu. Moreover, most of these people were important officials in the court, and it was impossible for them to abandon their face and become assassins.

Team leader Chen could only nod, bowed his hands to Liu Bai, and led people to send Cheng Chumo and Chai Lingwu back.

Not long after everyone left, Xu Chu came back with a person.

"Master, there are four people in total, I will capture the next one!"

Xu Chu threw the man on the ground.
