The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 547 Finding a Case
"stop!"

When Lu Bu came with Yuan Shu in mind, Hu let out a shout.

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

Firstly, it was true that he couldn't beat him, and secondly, he was afraid that something might happen to Yuan Shu.

The soldiers knew the current affairs, and Lu Bu didn't make it difficult for them too much, and asked them to stay where they were, so as not to cause trouble.And Lu Bu was going to bring Yuan Shu to Beijing to wait for the emperor to deal with him.

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

Lv Bu led his soldiers back and captured Yuan Shu, so he was not in such a hurry and walked slowly towards Chang'an.

Passing through the outskirts of Duling County, Lu Bu reined in his horse while walking on the main road. There were more than a dozen people fleeing in front of him. They turned their heads from time to time while running, their faces terrified.

Lu Bu was suspicious of this, so he patted his horse and asked one of the old men, "Old man, why are you so flustered?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, seeing the majestic general in front of him, he was about to kneel down subconsciously, and said in his mouth: "The little old man pays homage to the general."

Lu Bu raised his hand in the air, "You don't need to be polite, I see your faces are panicked, but what happened in front of you?"

Seeing that there was a large army behind Lü Bu, with a mighty aura, and hearing Lv Bu's kind tone, the old man felt relieved a lot, and replied: "General, in the woods ahead, a group of robbers are blocking the road and robbing, and the little old man has also abandoned his bags and wrapped around , was lucky enough to escape.”

Stability in Guanzhong does not mean complete peace.Robbers and thieves, no matter which state or county they are in, how to clear them are a cancer that cannot be completely eradicated.

To put it nicely, they are green forest heroes who rob the rich and help the poor, but to put it badly, they are desperadoes who turn grass into bandits.

Now that we bumped into each other and were still on his own territory, Lu Bu definitely couldn't just sit idly by, he immediately called out: "Cao Xing, take someone to clean up this group of robbers right away, and check if there are any strongholds by the way. existence. If there is, it will also be served.”

Cao Xing took the command, ordered fifty or sixty reckless men from the wolf cavalry battalion, and went straight ahead.

Naturally, it was not Lu Bu's turn to deal with such a small thief.

Half an hour later, Cao Xing returned victorious, rescued the trapped pedestrians, and returned all the money to the common people at Lu Bu's will.

The common people were grateful for this, and kept praising Lu Bu for his unparalleled benevolence and righteousness.

Righteousness?

Lu Bu laughed at himself, perhaps he still had a little bit of compassion for these low-level people.

Among the people who left, a young man caught Lu Bu's attention.This person was poorly dressed, dragged a coffin with both hands, and walked very slowly.

Seeing that Lu Bu was interested, Cao Xing went over and said, "Boss, this kid is so clever! When I went, those robbers were about to kill him. Unexpectedly, not only was this kid not afraid, but he turned to those robbers." He folded his hands and said, "Everyone, you are blocking the road and robbing, aren't you just for the purpose of robbing money? Poor boy, I have no money, and I only brought a coffin. What's the use of you robbing me?" Let this kid go."

"Tell him to come here." Lu Bu ordered, feeling that this person looked familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had met him.

The young man was brought over, and before Lu Bu could speak, he bowed to Lu Bu, obviously recognizing Lu Bu's identity: "Du Ji, a native of Jingzhao Duling, pay homage to Marquis Wen."

"You recognize me?" Lu Bu looked at Du Ji, feeling increasingly familiar.

Du Ji nodded, and said in a respectful voice: "When I was in Chang'an market in the early years, I had a relationship with Marquis Wen."

"Chang'an Market? It's you!"

Lu Bu suddenly remembered that when Ma Teng was selling firewood in Chang'an, Lu Bu rescued Ma Teng, and Du Ji followed Sima Fang.

No wonder it looks familiar.

Recalling the memory, Lu Bu asked again: "Didn't you go to Zheng County to be the county magistrate? Why did you go back to Duling?"

Du Ji replied: "My mother passed away, so I came back specially to keep my filial piety."

The dead are the most important. People who died in other places always hope to be buried in their hometown, so that they can return to their roots.

Lu Bu looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late, so he thought about going to Duling to rest for the night.

When the county magistrate of Duling County learned of Lü Bu's arrival, he hurried out of the city to greet him with the officials and servants, and vacated the government office for Lv Bu to rest.

After dinner, Lu Bu inspected the county government, and found that there were actually quite a few lawsuits accumulated in the local area, and the cases had not been closed for a long time.

"How is this going?"

Lu Bu frowned slightly. Although he didn't know how to deal with the government affairs in these places, this was the county magistrate's responsibility. If so many cases were hoarded and not closed, it was the magistrate's dereliction of duty.

Hearing this slightly reproachful tone, the county magistrate's heart pounded, and he said with a trace of grievance in fear: "Marquis Wen, these are all trivial things about Zhang San and Li Si. The public is justified, and the mother-in-law is justified. The next official really can't figure it out!"

Lu Bu casually picked up a roll of bamboo slips to examine. As the county magistrate said, both sides of the appeal had their own reasons, and it was difficult to decide.

"I do have someone who can help you solve these cases."

With a smile on his face, Lu Bu thought of the young man he met in the afternoon.

The next day, the county government.

Du Ji, who kept his filial piety at home, came to the gate of the county government. In the morning, someone from the government came to his home and informed him that it was Wen Hou who passed him on.

"Are you Du Ji?" The yamen servant guarding the gate of the official mansion took a look at Du Ji, and questioned him lukewarmly.

"It's down."

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

Du Ji walked into the county hall, except for a few yamen servants, there was no sign of Lu Bu in the hall.

Just when Du Ji was suspicious and wondering, a burst of yelling came from outside, like the hustle and bustle of a market.

Du Ji saw that many people walked into the county hall clamoring, holding all kinds of things in their hands, such as chickens and ducks, dustpans, fields... arguing endlessly.

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

"Nonsense, I obviously used it for fishing!"

"this is mine!"

"mine!"

There was endless noise outside, in the room at the back of the mansion, Lu Bu was sitting idly, the magistrate Chen Yongxu sat on half of the seat, and accompanied him on the side, with a chessboard between them.

Lü Bu went ahead with the black in his hands, and made the move as usual.

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

Lu Bu also didn't have much confidence in this matter. He only remembered that when Du Ji settled the case in the Chang'an market, he was very organized and really had a few tricks.

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

　Du Ji's ability is not small, if you are interested, you can check it out on Baidu.
