Li Yuntian was chatting with Liu Laosan about the changes in Baishui Town in recent years when there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor outside the door.

"Lord Wang, why don't you let people notify you in advance when you come, and the inferior people should go to greet you." Soon, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked in happily and bowed to Li Yuntian.

"I've seen three mothers in my humble position!" Subsequently, the middle-aged man saluted Chen Ningning, Zheng Wanrou and Lei Ting.

"Inspector Zhao, I haven't seen you for a few years, but your belly is getting bigger and bigger." Li Yuntian laughed, glanced at the big belly of the middle-aged man and teased.

This middle-aged man is none other than Zhao Hua, the inspector of the Baishui Town Inspection Division, who went to the capital to visit Li Yuntian a few years ago.

"Lord Wang, the humble position cannot be compared with you, you have a lot of opportunities every day, you are busy with official business, and the humble position has nothing to do every day, so you are naturally wide and fat." Zhao Hua also laughed when he heard this, Li Yuntian's willingness to joke with him meant that he didn't treat him as an outsider.

Although the people of Baishui Town can call Li Yuntian "Lord Zhixian", Zhao Hua is an official of the imperial court, so naturally he can't mess up the rank and humility in the officialdom, so he calls Li Yuntian "the prince".

At this moment, the Baishui Town Inspection Division had already imposed martial law in the neighborhood of Li Yuntian's teahouse, and the heavily armed inspection division soldiers were maintaining order at the scene in an orderly manner.

With the arrival of Zhao Hua, Chen Bozhao and Zheng Gui and other prominent figures in the town came to the restaurant to meet Li Yuntian, they only knew that Li Yuntian would come to Baishui Town, but they did not know the specific time.

The ancient itinerary was very restricted by various factors, so there was no way to determine the specific day of arrival, Chen Bozhao and Zheng Gui both knew that Li Yuntian was busy with official business, but they did not expect Li Yuntian to arrive in Baishui Town more than ten days in advance.

After all, Hukou County is the place where Li Yuntian stepped into his career, and he has experienced a series of unforgettable things in Hukou County, and this time he finally came back once, so he naturally had to stay for a few more days to have a good look in Baishui Town, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back next time.

The next morning, Song De, the magistrate of Hukou County, led the officials of all sizes in the county government to Baishui Town to meet Li Yuntian.

Originally, the high-spirited Song De originally wanted to show his strength in Hukou County, but when he arrived in Hukou County, he was immediately stupid, the development of Hukou County has completely exceeded his imagination, and he can't interfere in the affairs of Hukou County, especially economic affairs, because he can't understand how those economic affairs run.

For this reason, Song De had to give up the grand plan in his heart, honestly do things according to the development plan left by Li Yuntian, and at the same time humbly learn from the development experience of Hukou County, which is a valuable wealth for him and will be of great benefit to him in the future.

Not only Song De, the magistrate of Hukou County, but also the political envoys of Jiangxi, Jiangxi, Jiangxi, and other officials rushed to Hukou County to meet Li Yuntian, anyway, they also came to Chen Fang's wedding banquet and Old Man Zheng's birthday banquet, but they only came a few days in advance.

It is worth mentioning that since Li Yuntian has not been back since Xuande left the capital for ten years, he still has the post of Jiangnan inspector, so how dare the officials of the Jiangxi Third Division slack off, and everyone is afraid that Li Yuntian will set off another big case, so he naturally responds cautiously.

In fact, Li Yuntian purely revisited the old place this time and had no intention of investigating the case, after all, he came to Hukou County to participate in the happy event this time, and he did not want to make any bloody situation.

Besides, the inspectors of the three divisions of Jiangxi have their own Jiangxi Governor and Jiangxi Governor, if Li Yuntian has done all their things, then they will not be a little redundant.

Li Yuntian does not like to grasp power in his hands, but hopes that everyone can perform their duties, so as to maximize efficiency, otherwise he will be exhausted to death.

In order to dispel the doubts of the officials of the Third Division of Jiangxi, Li Yuntian deliberately released a rumor that he had no intention of investigating the case in Jiangxi, which made everyone's hanging hearts finally relaxed, and also made the atmosphere in Baishui Town relaxed in an instant.

For Li Yuntian's character, the officials in the Ming officialdom still admire him very much, and since Li Yuntian has said that he will not investigate the case, he will definitely not break his promise.

Chen Fang's wedding and Mr. Zheng's birthday banquet were held in Baishui Town one after another, which immersed Baishui Town in a joyful and festive atmosphere.

Although Chen Bozhao and Zheng Gui are the two giants of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, they don't have such a big face to invite so many dignitaries and nobles, and it is obvious that those people are all coming for Li Yuntian, which is a huge honor.

Even those high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital who could not come to congratulate, such as cabinet members, military cabinet members, governors of the five prefectures and officials of the six ministries and other senior officials also sent congratulatory gifts, in their opinion, Chen Fang's wedding and Old Man Zheng's birthday banquet were actually the affairs of the Zhongwu Palace, and their congratulatory gifts were naturally given to Li Yuntian.

During his stay in Baishui Town, Li Yuntian, accompanied by Song De, the magistrate of Hukou County, walked around the territory of Hukou County, and was very satisfied with the development of agriculture, commerce, and handicrafts in Hukou County, which had achieved the results he had expected, especially the transformation of the handicraft industry from a workshop to a factory.

Song De had a smug smile on his face, he could see that Li Yuntian was in a good mood, although Hukou County's achievements today had little to do with him, but after all, he was the magistrate of Hukou County, and Hukou County's achievements were naturally his political achievements.

"Lord Wang, there was a brawl in the town, a hundred households in the northwest injured several merchants from other places, and now the two sides have made trouble in the yamen."

In the afternoon of this day, not long after Li Yuntian returned to Baishui Town from the county seat of Hukou County, Zhao Hua hurried over and told him something in a deep voice, "Those merchants said that the hundred households stole the scimitar of the Western Regions that they bought with a lot of money, but the hundred households said that it was handed down by his ancestors, and the two sides fought without saying a word. ”

"Oh?" When Li Yuntian heard this, the young man who sold knives in Baishui Town more than half a month ago suddenly appeared in front of him, so he muttered for a while and said to Zhao Hua, "That Baihu is a young man, who looks quite sturdy, has a dark complexion, and is not good at words. ”

"Exactly." Zhao Hua nodded when he heard this, and said to Li Yuntian, "His name is Tianyi, and he came here from the northwest this time to purchase some special medicinal materials and treat them as the guard commander of the guard. ”

"Sue those merchants, this king learned that there are Western Regions secret agents sneaking into Jiangnan, the Western Regions scimitar may be related to this, this king decided to personally try the case, if this scimitar is indeed what they bought, then this king will give them a fair remark, and return the knife to them."

When Li Yuntian heard this, he immediately understood what was going on, nine times out of ten, those merchants saw that they were interested in making money, bullied that Tianyi honestly, and wanted to swallow his Damascus scimitar, and then quietly instructed Zhao Hua.

Obviously, the Damascus scimitar was hard to find in the market, and it was not readily available, and it was usually a tribute from the countries of the Western Regions to the Great Tomorrow, so he did not think that the merchants were telling the truth.

Besides, if Tianyi was really the Damascus scimitar that he stole from, then he must have already fled with the knife and money by now, and the fat boy who fought with Lei Ting for the Damascus scimitar that day would definitely not dare to accept the knife, and must have obediently paid three thousand taels of silver tickets and slipped away.

Li Yuntian was a little puzzled, since Tianyi already had three thousand taels of silver tickets, why did he stay in Baishui Town, he should buy medicinal materials and go back to the northwest military camp.

"Lord Wang, let's do it." After listening to Li Yuntian's explanation, Zhao Hua smiled slightly, bowed to Li Yuntian and got up to leave, it seemed that Li Yuntian wanted to scare away those merchants.

In fact, Zhao Hua didn't believe the merchants who looked quite treacherous, but there was no evidence, and because the case involved the hundred households of Tianyi, he had to report it.

Although Zhao Hua is now prominent, in the final analysis, he is only a nine-grade inspection, and the hundred households are six products, not to mention him, even Song De has no right to try this case, so he can only report to the Jiujiang Mansion and let the Jiujiang Mansion Government go to notify the Jiujiang Guard Command Envoy Si Yamen, and the two sides will cooperate to handle the case.

However, Song De's time was short, and if he did not return to the northwest in time, the commander of his guard would most likely die of illness.

According to Zhao Hua's experience, if the Jiujiang Prefecture Government and the Jiujiang Weiwei Commander jointly handle the case, then there is a chance that it will turn into a war of riddles, neither of which wants to take the lead in the trial, and both want the other party to contribute more, plus the trial personnel will make money and water from it, so that God knows when the case will be concluded.

Zhao Hua knew that the northwest was a bitter cold place, and the reason why Tianyi came here must be because the condition of the commander of the guard where he was located was already quite severe, and he sympathized with Tianyi who came from thousands of miles away, so he came to Li Yuntian to find a way.

In fact, the reason why Zhao Hua did this is also related to Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian's establishment of the Xiaowu Army barracks in Guanxi Zhao Hua is already clear, because the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce is responsible for sending supplies to that military operation, and Baishui Town is the headquarters of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, Zhao Hua knew that Li Yuntian attached great importance to the northwest, so he sued Li Yuntian about this matter, otherwise he would have to use this kind of small case to disturb Li Yuntian when he was full.

Now it seems that Zhao Hua guessed correctly, Li Yuntian really attaches great importance to Tianyi's case, and it seems that Li Yuntian still knows Tianyi, so things have become much simpler.
