I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

"The young master has been found out, and incidentally, we also found out that the Bozhou prefect Cheng Qingzhou was corrupt and accepted bribes, and his second son seized the people's land and property and killed people to silence them."

"Oh?" Li Lan couldn't help but sneer when he heard it. He thought: With a daughter and son who betray their father, Cheng Qingzhou's career as an official has come to an end.

"Madam, you may not know that Cheng Qingzhou was able to be promoted from county magistrate to prefect because of his son-in-law."

"Oh? How do you say that?"

"Back then, Zhu Qingshan was quite famous among carpenters, especially for his mobile phone skills."

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Lan's eyes flickered slightly, and he seemed to understand why so many people wanted to get the "Exquisite Craftsmanship" book of Lu Ban's sect.

"Madam, more than 20 years ago, when Zhu Qingshan disappeared, he went to southern Sichuan."

At this point, Zhou Wu looked at Li Lan, and seeing her expressionless face, he continued, "Southern Shun is the fief of Prince Ning, who is the younger brother of the current Majesty. When the retired emperor was on the throne, to avoid future conflicts between brothers, he early on granted each of his sons the title of king and fiefdom. After the current Majesty ascended the throne, they moved to their respective fiefdoms. At that time, the current Majesty and Prince Ning had a very close brotherly relationship. However, more than 20 years ago, Prince Ning enthusiastically visited his fiefdom. After returning, his temperament changed drastically, and everything he did went against the current Majesty. As a result, the brotherly relationship between the two became increasingly distant, and Prince Ning even left for Southern Shun before the current Majesty ascended the throne."

"Zhu Qingshan's trip to southern Shu happened to be two days after Prince Ning visited his fiefdom over 20 years ago. After that, Zhu Qingshan was highly valued by Prince Ning and even married the county magistrate's daughter. Not long after their marriage, Cheng Qingzhou was promoted to the position of prefect of Bozhou."

After hearing Zhou Wu's words, Li Lan narrowed his eyes, tapping his fingers on the table as he pondered for a long time. He wondered, "What on earth is this Prince Ning up to? Rebellion? That doesn't sound like it. Otherwise, with the way His Majesty cultivates secret agents, he definitely wouldn't let this happen." So, what was his real purpose?

Li Lan withdrew his thoughts, raised his hand, and let Friday continue.

"More than a decade ago, Zhu Qingshan returned as the county magistrate's son-in-law. He had gone to visit his mentor, Mr. Wu, but for unknown reasons, the two men got into an argument. That night, a fire destroyed over 10 people in the Wu mansion. The county magistrate handling the case was none other than Cheng Qingzhou, who ultimately closed it on the grounds that Mr. Wu had drunkenly knocked over a candlestick.

However, the young master discovered that the fire at the Wu Mansion was not as simple as it seemed. The young master suspected that Prince Ning had wanted to visit Master Wu in An County because of Zhu Qingshan's mobile phone technique, but was dissuaded by Zhu Qingshan, saying that his master had a strange temper and he had gone to persuade him first.

Afterwards, he hurried back to An County from southern Shu, eager to obtain the Lu Ban School's gate book as soon as possible. However, the gate book was only passed on to the successor of the Lu Ban School, and he did not want to bear the crime of killing his master and stealing, so he devised a plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife. So he chose that day and paid a grand visit. At that time, Cheng Shuying, who was pregnant and about to give birth, learned that Zhu Qingshan had visited his beloved junior sister when she was about to give birth. She was so angry that she had a miscarriage and immediately ordered her wet nurse to hire a killer, and then ordered people to burn down the Wu Mansion.

"It seems that Zhu Qingshan is very good at using a knife to kill someone. Cheng Shuying is also stupid. She was fooled by this scumbag without knowing it."

Li Lan sneered, raised his eyebrows, and said sarcastically.

"Yes, madam, you are right. He came to Lijia Village this time with the intention of using Cheng Shuying to kill Mr. Youtian and his family, but he didn't expect to succeed in the end. And this time he was exposed, and Cheng Qingzhou found out. But later, I don't know what agreement they reached, and Cheng Qingzhou didn't pursue it any further."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Lan frowned and said in a deep voice:

"It seems that the key to their agreement was Prince Ning. However, Cheng Qingzhou himself would never have thought that one day he would be burdened by his own children."

"Madam, if Mr. Youtian and his family continue to live in Lijia Village, I'm afraid..."

Li Lan stood up, walked to the door with his hands behind his back, looked up at the full moon in the sky, and said nothing for a long time.

"What did your son say?"

"Young Master means to send him away as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Lan couldn't help but let out a sigh. For the safety of everyone, this was the only way. But... was there no way to have the best of both worlds?

"I'm going to Bozhou Prefecture on Friday and the day after tomorrow. You and Saturday will help me guard the house and train Uncle Tianhu and his guard team. From now on, the entire village will get up for morning exercises, especially the strong laborers and children."

"Yes, ma'am."

"besides…"

At this point, Li Lan's eyes flickered, and he raised his hand to signal him to lean closer: "Pay attention here at all times..."

The next morning, Li Lan took Zhou Wu to the village chief's home and informed him that they would depart for Bozhou Prefecture the next morning to attend a product presentation. He also explained the training of the guards and the morning exercises for everyone in the village.

"Don't worry, Lan girl. I will make sure to arrange this matter and we can do it together on Friday and Saturday."

"Okay, Village Chief, please keep an eye on our school building."

"Yes, building a school is the top priority of our village right now."

The two chatted for a while, and Li Lan was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and said in a deep voice, "Village Chief, our village and several other villages are now one. During this period of time, please help me visit more villages and provide guidance to those who can."

After hearing this, the village chief's eyes lit up and he nodded excitedly.

"Don't worry, Lan girl, I will do my best to handle this matter."

"Okay, Village Chief. And all of our villages, remember to strengthen your defenses and keep an eye out for strangers visiting. I'm afraid someone with ulterior motives might come and inquire about our affairs. It would be best if each village set up a checkpoint at the entrance, so that those who can read can register visitors."

When the village chief heard this, he frowned, thought for a moment, and nodded heavily.

After saying goodbye to the village chief, the two did not go home, but went directly to Li Youtian's house, and told them everything about Zhu Qingshan.

"Brother Tian, ​​I'm the one who ruined you. If I hadn't insisted on marrying you, you could have refused my father's offer to take over the Luban Sect. In this way, your abilities wouldn't have been buried."

"What are you talking about? I married you voluntarily, and I also took over the Luban Sect voluntarily. Don't say that again in the future."

After hearing his words, Mrs. Wu's face was covered with tears. She nodded and choked up, "Okay."

Seeing that Mrs. Wu had been appeased, Li Youtian sighed, suddenly looked up, and said in a trembling voice: "Miss Lan, if our family doesn't leave, will it bring disaster to the whole village?"

Seeing how nervous and scared he was, Li Lan smiled and soothed him, "Yes, but we won't be bullied. Tomorrow I'm going to Bozhou Prefecture. You guys pack up and come with me. This time we'll lure the snake out of its hole and catch it all in one fell swoop."

At the end of her words, a fierce look flashed in her eyes.

"Okay, we'll follow you to Bozhou Prefecture. It's time to wrap this up."

"Dad, let's all go."

Looking at the determined eyes of Li Youtian and his son, Mrs. Wu stepped forward and held his and his hands tightly, her face full of determination.

"Li Zhong, Li Liang, you two should come with us."

"Yes, girl."
