Chapter 273 County Lieutenant (12)

After 8 o'clock in the evening, a few people came to the teahouse.

Chang State and Jing State have been in conflict for a long time. In the human society at this time, from the perspective of productivity, slavery has gradually become an increasingly backward system, free farmers have increased, and feudalism has sprouted in some areas. Compared with the previous situation where all the wealth of the society was concentrated in the hands of the nobles and the royal family, with the development of commerce, the wealth of the society has been gradually transferred to the emerging landlord class.

This change is also reflected in the division of administrative regions.

In the past, it was mostly a city-wild model, with citizens in the city and farmland and farmers outside the city, and most people lived in the city.

However, with the improvement of productivity and the increase of population, cities can no longer bear so many residents, so the population moves outside the city, and more villages and towns appear.

Then, due to the increase of villages and towns, in terms of territorial management, cities became less important than in the past, and non-urban management needs emerged.

This has led to, in recent years, Changguo and Jingguo have adopted the management model of the prefecture and county system.

The state of Chang is divided into eight counties, and the state of Jing is divided into ten counties.

Under the county, there are counties.

County officials are usually stationed in the city.

The officials of the county may be in the city, or they may be located in the town because there is no city in the territory.

Because it is the old city of the ancient capital, Lihe City is the seat of the administrative organization of Tianhe County.

Tianhe County has a sheriff, two lieutenants, more than 20 magistrates, and other officials are assigned according to the Changguo system.

The county guard is a civil servant, and the county lieutenant is a military minister.

And this time, it was one of the two county lieutenants named Lu Cheng who came here.

When Lu Cheng came, he brought two attendants with him. He came to the bottom of the teahouse, ordered the attendants to wait downstairs, and then went upstairs alone.

The two attendants looked at his back, feeling very strange in their hearts.

This afternoon, before dinner, Mr. Lu was patrolling around the city wall, suddenly his expression changed, he left the matter over there, and hurried to the county captain's mansion, and brought some cronies and officials with him, and he didn't even have time to eat. Rush to the west of the city.

No one thought that Lieutenant Lu Cheng actually sealed up a bookstore in the past.

In fact, this matter should be in charge of the county guard, who has military power, and administrative affairs are generally entrusted to the county guard. However, Lu Cheng didn't seem to care so much, so he went directly with his men to seal up the Wang family book over there, and Wang Bai was also arrested and taken away.

After throwing Wang Bai into prison and ordering people to torture and interrogate the murderer, Lu Cheng also arranged for people to continue to investigate Wang Bai's property, and must wipe out the entire Wang family. Don't let go.

Afterwards, he took only two entourages and went to a nearby tea house.

Lu Cheng climbed to the third floor of the teahouse and entered the private room.

He didn't wear the usual armor of generals in Chang Kingdom, but rather elegant casual clothes, but he also wore a cloak commonly used by generals.

Same as Guan Ming's situation, Huang Si didn't restore Lu Cheng's memory, but just told him what to do with soul instructions. So Lu Cheng just finished the matter quickly, and then came to report.

Lu Chengnian is about forty years old, with a rough face, a short beard, dark complexion, and a strong figure. There are some scars on his face and exposed skin. When he entered the private room, he looked around the room exploratoryly, a little hesitant Locked on Huang Si firmly, then cupped his hands and said:

"Is it the master? What you ordered me has been dealt with."

Huang Si gave a "hmm", then patted the seat beside her, and said, "Come, sit down."

Now, the table is full of food, all of which Huang Si asked Xiao Er to buy from the restaurant outside. I wanted to eat supper but didn't want to move, so I ordered takeaway.

Lu Cheng showed joy, and hurriedly sat down beside Huang Si. At the same time, he also looked at Mi Shui and Zhong Yin who were sitting across the table.

Mi Shui and Zhong Yin had already taken off their veils and hats, because Huang Si said that there were no outsiders, so there was no need to keep wearing them.

As a result, the looks of the two were unavoidably eye-catching, and Lu Cheng took a few extra glances out of curiosity. He couldn't figure out the relationship between the two young women and the master, so he was thinking a little bit.

Huang Si said lightly from the side: "Dinner, don't think about what you have."

Startled, Lu Cheng hurriedly lowered his head and said, "This subordinate has overstepped."

After that, he didn't dare to look any more, picked up the empty bowls and chopsticks, and started to chop the rice.

Mishui is also picking vegetables to eat. Although she cannot absorb the nutrition of the food, she can still taste the taste.

Of course, if she finds out what Huang Si likes to eat, she will quickly put the plate in front of Huang Si and look at him with a flattering look.

Huang Si feels at ease about this, and eats whatever he likes, and even picks and pulls the plate with chopsticks, showing no table manners.

Lu Cheng didn't dare to express his anger, but only dared to bury his head in eating the food in front of him.

After a while, Huang Si felt that the supper was a bit dull, so he said:

"Lu Cheng, can you sing?"

Lu Cheng put down his chopsticks, and said in panic, "This subordinate is tone-deaf."

Although he is a member of the family, he is also a general after all, he doesn't have a lot of fat in his stomach, and he can't compare with civil servants. He has heard the little song, but singing it is a bit embarrassing for him. Lu Cheng could only search his brains for a while, and suddenly he had an idea: "I knew a song when I was a child."

After that, he sang loudly.

Lu Cheng's voice is rough, but fortunately, the tune of the song itself is also very rough. It sounds like a nursery rhyme that the lower-class people of the human race would sing.

At this time, the two attendants below the teahouse were shocked. Why did their master start singing nursery rhymes for no reason? You know, Master Lu Cheng has always been serious, not angry but powerful, everyone admires him. What, what's going on here?

The guys in the teahouse were also startled, Mr. Lu singing? This is the only time in my life!

After listening halfway, Huang Si said with a dark face: "Okay, stop singing."

Lu Cheng stopped, and said a little embarrassedly: "I made the master laugh. I am a big old man, and I don't know much about these polite things. If the master wants to listen to singing, you can go to a restaurant, a boat, or a brothel."

Huang Si asked with interest: "Okay, I'm here for vacation. I'll go and listen to it tomorrow when I'm free. By the way, if I want to listen to storytelling, where should I go?"

Lu Cheng was puzzled: "Pingshu?"

"Is it... a place similar to storytelling?"

"Oh, it's about ancient times, there are teahouses, but it's usually during the daytime, and it's in the hall downstairs. Does the master want to have fun in our Lihe City? If you're interested, I'll ask my subordinates to collect some good places. Collect them and send them to the master's house. By the way, where does the master live now?"

Huang Si directly sent him the direction of the residence with soul commands.

Lu Cheng nodded quickly: "This subordinate understands, and it will be done soon."

"By the way, my family members who are currently stationed in Lihe City...well, you should be subordinates with the same relationship as you. There are six of them, and they are..."
