Chapter 84

Because of some reasons that are not humane, Liu she has considerable trust and indulgence in her daughter. She hardly interferes in other things except her studies. However, the details and process of the matter still need to be understood, and he was afraid that she would suffer.

It's just obvious that Liu she's worry is superfluous. How can Jiang Pengji easily suffer losses?

Xu Ke is really a busy man. First, he arranges the servants on the farm. When he comes back, he talks with Jiang Pengji. Before having a hot meal, Liu she, the head of the family, speaks back. Because of the previous fear shadow, Xu Ke did not hide the details.

His eloquence was good and his narration was clear. Liu she sat at the top and listened with her eyes down slightly. She seemed to enjoy it very much.

Mrs. butterfly smiled across the screen. "Erlang is really promising now. In this way, my cousin can be at ease."

The girl was praised, but as everyone, she can't jump too much. Obviously, she can't hide her smile. She still needs to be modest.

However, when Xu Ke said that Jiang Pengji provoked many servants in the reserve and threatened to make her go to suppress the bandits after her training was successful, Mrs. butterfly was so surprised that she almost threw the snacks back to the food plate. Liu she suddenly opened her eyes with a little consternation.

Mrs. die also ignored her reserved and elegant posture and said sternly, "why is Erlang so impulsive when a gentleman doesn't stand under the dangerous wall?"

In this regard, Liu she didn't open her mouth to say anything, but with a few strands of incomprehensible surprise on her face.

No one knows what he is thinking now. Mrs. butterfly's angry voice did not come into his ears. The whole person seemed to be floating in another space. For a long time, he gathered his wandering spirit, and his face was pale.

"Well, Lanting is no longer a three-year-old child. He knows what he is doing." Liu she opened her mouth and interrupted Mrs. butterfly's instructions to Xu Ke to dissuade Jiang Pengji. Her eyebrows were somewhat tired and had a few unspeakable spirit, "this may be destiny."

With that, he went straight back to the main courtyard. The candlelight in the corridor sometimes disappeared and sometimes disappeared, pulling his shadow long.

Sitting in front of several cases, Liu she spread out a map of Dongqing's Kun, on which there was a place marked clearly, which was the Hu county that Liu she had governed. He stared at Hujun for half an hour and clenched his fists slightly until he left a few crescent fingerprints in the palm of his hand.

For a long time, he said to the maid waiting outside the house, "go and invite LAN ting."

Because of the timeline of sunrise and sunset in ancient times, Jiang Pengji was ready to go to bed at this time with the help of a maid.

"Come on, don't keep your father waiting."

Suddenly received a message from Liu she, she frowned, got up, took the warm and thick cloak handed by stepping on the snow and put it on directly.

I don't know whether Liu she came back or everything recovered in spring, which injected vitality into the depressed Liu house. The landscape in the courtyard was much more lush than when she first came. But the moon is bright and the stars are rare, the light is dark, and the scenery is clear and out, but it's a little strange.

When he arrived at the main courtyard, he saluted Liu she according to the ceremony, waved to her and said gently, "come up to Lanting."

She then stepped forward and sat down beside several cases. She found that the father was staring at a kuntu map of Dongqing.

Although it is a Kun map, it is actually quite simple, not to mention rivers, mountains, and even the size is messy.

"Do you know where the county where my father took office?"

Liu she pushed the lamp on the table to Jiang Pengji, so that she could see more clearly. "In the past few years since she left Hejian, my father also thought about whether there would be resentment in Lanting's heart... But, involuntarily, she had to leave her hometown temporarily and away from her flesh and blood."

Jiang Pengji looked up at him suspiciously. She didn't understand why Liu she suddenly talked about this topic.

"The place where my father took office is here, called Hu County, but the land is as big as a state." Jiang Pengji answered the previous question and avoided the questions behind him. After all, she is not Liu Lanting. She really has no position to answer and can't give an answer.

Liu she's green and white fingertips caressed the Hu County on Kun's map, "yes, Hu County... Before her father took office, it was still a famous barren land in Dongqing. The officials often sent senior officials, but each died halfway or took office, which was a place of dragons and tigers, and there was no return."

It is good to say that Hujun is poor. From the late Xia Dynasty, it is a hard bone to bite.

The land is vast, but it is desolate. There has been a severe drought for ten years without half a drop of rain, which makes it difficult for every family to survive. In order to survive, the strong men of every family have become vagrants, looted everywhere, and selling children and girls has become the norm.

Those who have a way to escape from Hujun early, even if they don't live as well as pigs and dogs in other places, they are better than suffering in this hell of Hujun.

Not only that, the relief silver and grain distributed by the imperial court, after layers of exploitation and oppression by the local gentry, only "rice grain" mixed with 99% of the soil was left in the hands of the people. Year after year, the country gentry are rampant, officials protect each other, and roving bandits are rampant!

When the summer fell, Dongqing took over the hard bone.

Before Liu she, there were many upright officials who wanted to govern, but without exception, they all died!

This led Liu she to become the longest serving Sheriff of Hujun for more than 100 years, and was worshipped by the local people.

"What happened to my father in those years? How could he be sent to such a place of dragons and tigers?"

Jiang Pengji frowns. Hu county is famous for its ferocity. However, some young students who know themselves clearly will not go to that place to be an official. Aren't they looking for death? Liu's career in Dongqing is not top, but not everyone can despise it. He should also have talent in officialdom.

Liu she's answer was beyond Jiang Pengji's expectation. "It's my father's willingness to go to death and later life."

"Voluntary?"

Willing to die?

Or is Liu she sure to survive in Hujun?

No, death and later life?

At that time, someone really wanted to kill Liu she?

"For others, Hujun is a place of ten deaths and no life, but for the father, it is a blessed place with a glimmer of vitality."

Liu she sighed with emotion. In front of her eyes, she appeared in a sackcloth. She was sad and wanted to die, and hurried on the road with Amin's spirit.

At that time, he lost his son twice, and then his wife was seriously ill. One day he was weaker than the other. There were all kinds of killing opportunities outside, staring at the little Liu house and embracing the only young children left. He was at a loss in his heart. When he was most lost and sad, he even wanted to go like this.

But Amin is right. Lanting is still alive and his enemy is still alive. He can't die yet.

Go to Hujun, there is a glimmer of life!

Taking back her thoughts, Liu she astringed her painful memories on her face, raised her finger to Hu County and asked, "I have nothing to do today. I'll teach you Lanting for my father. If you were a father and had to go to Hu County, how should you protect your life, how to stand firm and how to govern Hu County?"
