"Stop!"

Lu Bu came with Yuan Shu, and the tiger shouted.

When Yuan Shu's soldiers saw that the lord was captured, they quickly stopped resisting, put down their weapons and surrendered.

First, yes, it really can't be beaten, and second, it's because I'm afraid that Yuan Shu will have a good one.

The soldiers knew the current affairs, and Lu Bu didn't embarrass them too much, letting them be stationed on the spot and not causing trouble. And Lu Bu wants to take Yuan Shu into Beijing and wait for the fate of the Son of Heaven.

Yuan Shu didn't want to enter Beijing, but now that he was captured by Lu Bu, he had to go if he didn't go.

Lu Bu led his soldiers back, captured Yuan Shu, but he was not in such a hurry, and slowly went to Chang'an.

When passing through the suburbs of Duling County, Lu Bule, who was traveling on the main road, held the reins of his horse, and more than ten people in front of him were fleeing to this side, turning back from time to time while running, with frightened faces.

Lu Bu had doubts about this, slapped his horse forward, and asked one of the old men: "Uncle, why are you so flustered?" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the general in front of him who was majestic and handsome, he subconsciously knelt down and shouted, "Little old man meets the general." ”

Lu Bu raised his hand in the void, "The old man doesn't need to be polite, I see your faces panicked, but what is the big thing ahead?" ”

The old man saw that the army behind Lu Bu was heavy and majestic, and he heard Lu Bu's kind tone, so he felt a lot more at ease in his heart, and replied: "General, in the woods in front, there is a group of robbers who are blocking the road and robbing, and the little old man also gave up his bags and entangled, so he was lucky to escape." ”

Stability in Guanzhong does not mean complete peace. Bandits, bandits, bandits, no matter which state or county they are in or how they are cleared, are a kind of cancer that cannot be completely eradicated.

To put it nicely, it is a green forest hero who robs the rich and helps the poor, and if it is ugly, it is some outlaws who fall into the grass.

Since he bumped into it, it was still on his own territory, Lu Bu definitely couldn't sit idly by, he immediately called: "Cao Xing, you immediately take someone to clean up this gang of robbers, and by the way, see if there is a stronghold or something." If there is, it will be served as well. ”

Cao Xuan took the order, ordered fifty or sixty reckless men from the wolf riding camp, and went straight to the front.

To deal with this kind of little thief, it is naturally not Lu Bu's turn to go out in person.

Half an hour later, Cao Xing returned victoriously, rescued the trapped pedestrians by the way, and returned all the entanglements recovered to these people under Lu Bu's will.

The people were grateful to Dai De for this, and praised Lu Buren for his incomparable righteousness.

Righteousness?

Lu Bu laughed at himself, maybe he only had a little pity for these low-level people.

Among the departing people, a young man caught Lu Bu's attention. The man was poorly dressed, dragging a coffin with both hands, and walking at a particularly slow pace.

Cao Xing saw that Lu Bu was quite interested, and took the initiative to say: "Boss, this kid is clever!" When I went, the robbers were about to kill him. Unexpectedly, this boy was not only not afraid, but arched his hand at the robbers, saying, 'Heroes, aren't you blocking the road and robbing just to rob money?' Poor boy, I am penniless, I only have a coffin, what is the use of you robbing me? When the robbers heard this, they let the boy go. ”

"Call him over." Lu Bu commanded, feeling that this person was a little familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

The young man was brought over, and without waiting for Lu Bu to speak, he bowed to Lu Bu first, obviously recognizing Lu Bu's identity: "Du Ji, a native of Jingzhao Duling, meet Wen Hou." ”

"Do you recognize me?" Lu Bu looked at Du Ji and felt more and more familiar.

Du Yi nodded and said respectfully: "When I was in Chang'an Market in the early years, I had a relationship with Wen Hou. ”

"Chang'an Market? It's you! ”

Lu Bu thought for a moment, when Ma Teng was selling firewood in Chang'an, Lu Bu came to the rescue, Du Ji followed Sima Fang's side, and tried Jingfu Duwei and others in public, and returned Ma Teng's innocence.

No wonder it looks familiar.

Lu Bu, who recalled it, asked again: "Didn't you go to Zheng County to be the county commander, how could you go back to Duling?" ”

Du Yi replied: "My mother passed away, and I came back to guard my filial piety. ”

The dead are the greatest, and the people who die in other places always hope to be buried in their hometown, so as to return to their roots.

Lu Bu glanced at the sky, it was a little late, so he thought about going to Duling to rest for the night.

When the county magistrate of Duling County learned that Lu Bu had arrived, he hurriedly took the officials out of the city to greet him, and vacated the government office for Lu Bu to rest.

After dinner, Lu Bu inspected the county government and found that there had been a lot of lawsuits in the local area, and the cases had not been concluded for a long time.

"What's going on?"

Lu Bu frowned slightly, although he didn't know how to deal with these local government affairs, but this was the responsibility of the county order, and hoarding so many cases that were not closed was a dereliction of duty by the county order.

Hearing this slightly reproachful tone, the county magistrate's heart pounded, and he said with a hint of grievance in panic: "Wenhou, these are all trivial things about Zhang San and Li Si, the public says that the public is reasonable, the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and the lower officials are really unclear!" ”

Lu Bu casually picked up a roll of bamboo slips and looked at it, and it was really as the county order said, both sides of the appeal had their own reasons, and it was difficult to judge and decide.

"I have someone who might be able to help you solve these cases."

Lu Bu smiled, remembering the young man he had met in the afternoon.

The next day, the county government.

Du Ji, who was guarding filial piety at home, came to the gate of the county government, and in the morning someone from the government came to the house to inform him, saying that it was Wen Hou who passed him on.

"You're Du Ji?" The official guarding the gate of the official palace glanced at Du Yi and interrogated him lukewarmly.

"Exactly down there."

"Go in, Wen Hou is waiting for you inside."

Du Ji walked into the county hall, except for a few officials in the hall, how could there be Lu Bu.

Just when Du Qihu was suspicious, a shouting and noisy sound came from outside, like the hustle and bustle of the market.

Du Ji saw that many people shouted into the county hall, holding all kinds of things in their hands, chickens and ducks, dustpans, and fields...... Quarrels.

"This dustpan is what I use to sift flour."

"Nonsense, it's clear that I used it to fish!"

"This is mine!"

"Mine!"

There was a lot of noise outside, and in the room behind the mansion, Lu Bu was sitting idly, and the county commander Chen Yongxu was sitting on half of the seat, accompanying him on the side, and there was a chessboard between the two.

Lu Bu took the lead in black, and fell as usual.

"Wen Hou, with so many cases, can this person really finish the trial in one day?" Chen Yong followed, his tone slightly curious.

Lu Bu also didn't have much confidence in this, he only remembered that when Du Ji decided the case in Chang'an Market, he was clearly organized, and he did have two shots.

Therefore, he also wanted to take this opportunity to test Du Ji's strength.
