I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

"Dad, please, save Shitou? He is Zhang Sheng's only child, Dad. I beg you to save him, save your grandson."

A woman knelt at the door of the clinic, kowtowed to the old man in front of her who was leaning on a cane, and didn't even realize that blood was oozing from her head.

"Alright, Second Sister-in-law, stop crying like that. Doesn't Dad want to save Shitou? We don't have any money. And you're kneeling in public with so many people watching. How will Dad live his life in the future?"

As soon as the young woman finished speaking, the old man with a cane couldn't help coughing a few times, and the woman immediately shut up.

"Why is there no money? Yesterday I saw Dad give the money to my third brother."

"How can you compare a stone with my third brother? My third brother is going to be an official in the future." After saying this, he sneered, as if laughing at her foolish dream.

After hearing this, the woman, who had been kneeling on the ground with her back straight, suddenly seemed to lose her support and bent down dejectedly, with her head hanging and her face pale.

Suddenly, he saw the child lying on the ground with a flushed face. He raised his head and said viciously, "Dad, if you don't treat Shitou today, don't blame me for making a scene at the county school. Anyway, Zhang Sheng is gone, and now if the child is gone, then I won't live either. If I die, I will take everyone with me."

"You, you, you vicious woman." The old man took several steps back with his crutch and said in a trembling voice.

The crowd watching were also whispering and talking among themselves.

……

Just at this time, Li Lan and his companions' carriage passed by here. The carriage was originally going to drive past, but was stopped by Li Lan.

"Zhou Da, go and see what happened?"

"Yes, ma'am."

After a while, Zhou Da returned to the carriage.

"Madam, they are from Liujiawan. They look like the Zhang clan leader's family. It seems his second son's child is sick, and he doesn't want to spend money, so he's holding off outside the clinic."

"Oh? This family is really lucky. In that case, Mr. Zhou, notify Zhou Wu and ask him to go to the county government office and get Zhang Sheng out. Then have him explain to Zhang Sheng how his father ignored him in the past and why he is now ignoring his wife and children."

"Yes, ma'am."

After hearing her words, Zhou Yuntian smiled with appreciation and said softly, "Good idea."

……

Zhonghe Hall of the Bianjing Imperial Palace.

Emperor Huide looked at the letter in his hand, his eyes dark and unclear. After a while, he sighed, his thoughts drifting away... After a long moment, he muttered, "Royal brother, why is it so?"

Retracting his thoughts, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice towards the empty and quiet hall:

"Long Yi."

"My subordinate is here."

"Inform him to go to Bozhou Prefecture as quickly as possible to protect Lord Renshan. No mistakes can be made."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Lan and his group finally arrived at Bozhou Prefecture at 7:15 PM. As soon as they entered the government office, a figure in white hurried over. Looking at Zhou Yuntian standing next to them, he curled his lips, walked to Li Lan's side, shook her arm, and said,

"Girl, you're finally here. You don't know how bored I am here."

"How are Mr. Arita and the others?"

Seeing her acting like a spoiled child, Li Lan felt amused. He pushed her head away from his arm with his fingers and asked with a smile.

"Don't worry, girl. I'll take good care of them." After saying that, he patted his chest proudly.

Li Lan subconsciously followed her movements and looked over. Suddenly, a smile flashed in his eyes as he teased her, "It's okay. Don't pat your chest all the time. It'll flatten it easily."

After saying that, he chuckled and walked into the house first.

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Da couldn't help laughing. Li Xi looked at the people who were trying to hold back their laughter, her face flushed red. She glanced at Zhou Da, stamped her feet, shouted "girl", and chased after them.

Receiving Li Xi's gaze, Zhou Da touched his nose awkwardly. At this moment, Li Yan, who was standing beside him, nudged him with his elbow and said with admiration, "Brother, you're amazing! You dare to laugh at her. You better be careful these days, or you might get poisoned by her."

Zhou Da: ...

In the study room.

"Zhou Qi, go check someone out."

"Sir, who is it?"

"Li Chunhua."

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Qi was stunned for a moment, thinking: Why does this name sound familiar? Where have I heard it before?

"Zhou Qi."

A cold voice sounded, and Zhou Qi shuddered and quickly bowed and said, "Yes, sir."

"Next time you get distracted, you'll be sent back to Anbu for re-creation."

After hearing this, Zhou Qi felt nervous and didn't dare to move.

"Zhou Da, follow me to the dungeon."

"Yes, son."

The two walked out one after the other. When Zhou Da passed by Zhou Qi, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

In the government office dungeon.

Cheng Qingzhou lay flat on the thatch of the cell, staring blankly at the ceiling. Suddenly, he heard footsteps, and his eyes flickered, but he still didn't move.

At this moment, the prison door opened from the outside, and Zhou Yuntian walked in. Looking at Cheng Qingzhou lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, he sneered and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty's decree will reach Bozhou Prefecture in the next few days. Master Cheng, have a safe journey."

After saying that, he walked out with Zhou Da. A moment later, bursts of laughter rang out from the cell, echoing in the empty cell for a long time without stopping.

At this moment, Cheng Qingzhou was laughing, and two lines of clear tears flowed down the corners of his eyes. He stared at the roof and murmured, "Success may be the king, failure may be the bandit, I have no regrets."

Here, as soon as Li Lan entered the government office, he went straight to Li Youtian's residence and told them about Zhu Qingshan. Hearing that Zhu Qingshan had been arrested, they were all a little excited.

"Miss Lan, can we go back to the village then?" asked Mrs. Wu.

"Of course. However, I came here today to tell you a method that will solve the problem once and for all, but I need your cooperation."

Li Youtian and Mrs. Wu looked at each other and nodded vigorously.

"Mr. Youtian, Mrs. Wu, we all know that your real danger is not Zhu Qingshan, but that sect book."

When the two heard this, they sighed, and after a long moment, they nodded heavily.

"Then what we have to do is destroy it in front of everyone."

As soon as these words were spoken, the two of them immediately stood up from their chairs and looked at Li Lan, feeling a little nervous and at a loss.

"This, how can this be possible?" Li Youtian said in a trembling voice, his eyes reddening.

Li Lan sighed, knowing that they couldn't accept it for the time being, but this was the only solution she could think of at the moment.

"Master Arita, if the contents of the book have been etched into your brain, then it doesn't really matter whether you have the book or not. What matters is that it can save your life. Think about it all night. If it doesn't work, I'll find another way."

"Don't think about it, Lan girl. I agree. I believe my father and the ancestors will not blame us. At worst, I can kowtow and apologize when I go to the underworld one day."

"Old woman, how can this be?"

"Brother Tian, ​​I just want you, Jie'er, and Xiao Mu to be well. I don't want to care about anything else."

Looking at Mrs. Wu, whose eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs, Li Youtian sighed and held her hand tightly.

"Okay, let's do this..."

After the discussion was almost over, Li Lan took the Luban Menmen Book given to her by Mrs. Wu and left with Li Yan and Li Xi. As she stepped out, she suddenly turned back and said, "Master Youtian, we have several items to display the day after tomorrow, so you must prepare them."

"Okay, okay, little Lan, I'll be more careful in the next two days."

On the other side, Zhou Yuntian's face darkened as he listened to Zhou Da's report.

"Sir, Prince Ning's purpose on this trip, besides rescuing Zhu Qingshan, is probably..."

Zhou Yuntian frowned in deep thought, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table. After a long pause, he said, "Starting tomorrow, you will follow the Madam and protect her."

"Yes, son."

Looking at Zhou Da's back as he left, Zhou Yuntian's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He sneered and said word by word in an icy voice, "Prince Ning."

At this time, Prince Ning and his entourage, who had arrived in An County, happened to stay in the same inn where Li Lan and his entourage stayed last time, and it was the same small courtyard.

"Your Highness, the assassins will arrive in Bozhou Prefecture tomorrow."

"Oh? Do you know who sent them?"

"Breaking the Sky."

Hearing the word "Potian", King Ning frowned and asked in confusion: "How could it be him?"

"I don't know either. When I went to the assassin's door to handle this matter, I mentioned Zhou Yuntian, and he took the order directly."

"Oh?"

Prince Ning waved him off and sat behind his desk, deep in thought for a long time. Suddenly, his eyes opened slightly, and he leaned back in his chair dejectedly. With a self-deprecating laugh, he muttered, "Brother, you've played a big game. But it's okay, after all, you have me in your heart!"
