Xiangshan County and Haojing are in the southwest of Guangzhou City, while Xin'an, where Wang Fulin is going to this time, is in the southeast of Guangzhou Prefecture, a hundred miles south of Dongguan County. ◇↓↓Xiao↓ said that this was originally the Dongguan Guard Thousand Household Office, but it was not until the first year of Wanli that it was divided into Dongguan County. Part of it was divided into Xin'an County with Dongguan Guard Thousand Household Office, which made Guangzhou Prefecture have an additional county magistrate.

Nine out of ten people in the city are military households. The county magistrate has been in office for three years since the first year of Wanli, so he is definitely a veteran. If we look at it from the map alone, Xin'an County today will govern Shenzhen and Hong Kong in the future, but now it is the most remote place in Guangzhou Prefecture, no doubt.

After all, Xiangshan’s wealth depends on Haojing, but Xin'an is different. In the future, Hong Kong and Shenzhen are all small fishing villages now!

Lu Guangwu and Zheng Mingxian thought that nothing was wrong, so they sent someone to return to the inn where they rented it and followed Wang Fulin this trip. This was not the first time Lu Guangwu came. He did not think it was surprising at all when he entered the low Xin'an County. Zheng Mingxian suddenly came to this place from Guangzhou City, which was not inferior to Jiangnan. He couldn't help but feel that the gap was very big. After entering the city, he sighed in a low voice: "No wonder pirates smuggling in Guangdong are rampant. Seeing that others are covered with silk and satin, but his house is not covered with tiles, and his clothes are not covered, so how can he not have a different mind?"

"So, I once heard a saying that as a county chief, levying taxes is just a small path, and fair lawsuits are just a medium. On the contrary, building roads and bridges allows people in some remote places to enjoy convenience, and communicate with the outside world more quickly, and even persuading farming, promoting industry and commerce, and driving the people of the county to get rid of poverty and become rich. That is the real political achievement..." Wang Fulin unconsciously mentioned the theory of economic development of later leaders and cadres, and of course, he just stopped.

Faced with such strange and strange stories, even if Lu Guangwu, who was deeply influenced by He Xinyin and could accept many novel ideas, could not help but show a thoughtful expression, let alone Zheng Mingxian. Moreover, while chewing on these words, they had to admit that according to this standard, even if it was Hai Rui Hai Qingtian, the most famous of this dynasty, was not enough!

Xu Xiucai was even more amazed. If Wang Fulin hadn't started to smile and count the road to repair it with his fingers, some specialty products in the mountains could be sold for good prices. He was afraid that he would think that the other party was not a family member, but a court official. As he discovered that Wang Fulin was very proficient in business and even decided on a small business in Xin'an County, his suspicion would have disappeared. Of course, he also accepted Wang Fulin's explanation of why Wang Fulin was interested in the murder case, just as he was just as if the child of the merchant who was interested in the Haojing trade was afraid that pirates would be rampant again.

After all, Lin Dao, Qian, Lin Afeng and others once turned the entire coastal areas of Guangdong upside down!

Just on the way, Wang Fulin heard Xu Xiucai talk about the murder of Xin'an fishermen who were rumored to be rumored to be killed. Xu Xiucai's Yue family was in a village outside Xin'an County. Since his wife took her son back to her parents' home, he did not dare to ask for someone to come back. However, he could not help but secretly visit him occasionally. After this visit, he happened to meet several villagers in a fishing village carrying two bodies to the Xin'an County Government. The victim was a child under nine years old. After asking, he learned that the child had escaped from death and had just arrived on the sea with a wooden board in the sea. Two of the four died, namely his uncle and his father, and the child and the other two were pushed into the sea. Two days later, the two bodies floating back to the shore were his uncle and his father.

According to the child, the fishing boat that went out to sea rescued three people from the sea. But the three of them recovered and immediately committed the murder. The leader had curled black hair and brown eyes, like monsters.

After all, it involves the death of two people. Xin'an County Government had to accept the case of two missing, but he disdained the testimony of the child. It is said that after the opening of the church, the county magistrate Tang, who had been in office for three years, was beaten up by a grave and directly blamed the pirates who killed people... Is that too much? In Guangdong, in addition to giant pirates such as Lin Daogan and Lin Feng, there were too many pirates. For example, Lin Daogan was just rumored to be infighting or the cannon was killed. However, the county magistrate Tang was already responsible. If it were another county magistrate, the murder case would affect the evaluation, and it was possible to directly push this to the waves and capsize.

As for the question of how to raise the child who was underage, County Magistrate Tang also became a good person and told two wealthy families in the city that they donated a total of twenty taels, which was considered to burn money and support, and handed over the child to the elder who came to the fishing village to bring the complaint back to raise.

After staying at the Inn in the City that day, Wang Fulin said to Xu Xiucai: "The pirate murder case in Xin'an is really something that people care about. If Lin Daogan makes a comeback, let alone Haojing, even Guangzhou City will have to be in danger. Do you know that fishing village? I want to go and have a meal of freshest seafood even if I can't ask anything."

"I have asked, it's not far from the city to the sea, and you'll just ask for the road at that time. The young master is really going? The fishing village should be very dilapidated."

"As long as there is something delicious to offer to Wudian Temple."

Xu Xiucai had already discovered along the way that except for Wang Fulin, Lu Guangwu and Chen Atian, others were not very good at speaking Cantonese, and according to the accent, the merchant who wanted to hire him was probably migrated from the southeast. Moreover, Wang Fulin was indeed very particular about eating this word. Even when he was dealing with a meal on the road, a entourage would go to the carriage to take out the food box. In addition to various dried fruits, there were also braised or pickled wax that was not easy to deteriorate. The three women in the carriage rarely came out, so Wang Fulin said that if there was no harvest, he would be just a feast, and he actually took it as a real thing.

After staying in the inn in the city for a night, early in the morning the next morning, Wang Fulin gave Xiaobei a few words alone, and asked her and Bizhu Xiuzhu to stay in the inn, while his group left the city to go to the coastal fishing village where the two killed fishermen were located.

If Xin'an County is just dilapidated, then when you leave the city and arrive at the small fishing village, you can't see the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky. Especially for the few people who came here for the first time, they thought of the past. It should be noted that since ancient times, Guangdong and Guangxi have been called the smoky land of Lingnan, but because of their proximity, Guangdong has developed rapidly since the Tang and Song dynasties. Especially the large areas near Guangzhou Prefecture have prosperous commercial and prosperous populations, so they are known as the richest in the south. But it is less than 300 miles away from Guangzhou City. It is a different scene.

It is so simple that it cannot be called a house, but it can only be called a shed. It is a ragged fishing net hanging on various wooden forks and branches. There are two or three mottled and old fishing boats docked by the sea. Among the men and women who come and go, most of the men and women walking barefoot, wearing only a pair of shorts, and women are only short clothes, and many people are even unclothed. At this time, many people are busy picking up things on the beach before the tide is rising.

There were probably few outsiders coming here, so the arrival of Wang Fulin's group naturally attracted a lot of vigilant eyes. Even though their clothes looked quite simple, they either rode horses or rode mules. It was obvious that there was a little money. Soon, an old man wearing a straw hat and straw sandals came forward, with a hint of flattery in respect: "A few guests came here to try it out?"

In the past, unlike later generations, we can deliver various cold chains and transport fresh food. It is difficult to keep the fish caught fresh. The restaurants in the city deduct the price. Most of the fishermen eat by themselves, or dry and sell for money. The land on the beach is not suitable for farming, so the fishermen who rely more on the weather for their lives are more difficult than farmers. What's more, in principle, fishing in the sea is also prohibited, not to mention encountering pirates. Even if they encounter large ships of Folang Jiren, those ships in the ward, those who are overturned or have their lives taken are commonplace. Therefore, those guests who occasionally appear in fishing villages and want to taste seafood on a whim are the most popular customers.

Xu Xiucai had met the child who had lost his relatives at the county government gate before, but this fishing village was also the first time to come. He had just asked people for directions along the way. At this moment, he opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Wang Fulin rushed forward and said, "That's right, is there a fishing boat that just came back from the sea to catch fish?"

"Yes, yes!" The old fisherman smiled extremely joyfully, pointed to the most decent one of the many shacks, and said with a smile on his face, "Can the guests go there? The custody is freshest."

Wang Fulin agreed, but his eyes seemed to be inadvertently glanced at all directions. Seeing that the men and women were no longer coming up like the old fisherman, but some were envious, some disgusted, and some hurriedly avoided him. He ordered Chen Atian to pester the old fisherman and talk, and he was two steps behind, and asked Lu Guangwu in a low voice: "Senior Brother Lu, I have read your previous notes. There are many coastal fishing villages in Guangdong that seem to be smuggling, pirates or even pirates?"

"The livelihood is difficult at the beach, and the government only cares about levying heavy taxes. Regardless of livelihood, there are naturally many people who take risks." Lu Guangwu pressed his voice very low, but his eyes were like a hawk, and he saw all the scenes. "Although this place is very close to Xin'an County, you need to be careful. The method of doing hand and foot in food has been tried and tested from ancient times to the present." He said, while quietly stuffing something into Wang Fulin's hand. Then he wiped it under his nose with his hand. Seeing Wang Fulin showing a comprehension expression, he pushed his thing back and patted his clothes at the same time, he laughed in silence.

Why did you forget that Wang Fulin also had the trick of drinking and cheating?

Xu Xiucai had already had the instructions, and kept looking around and trying to find the child he had seen. However, after sitting down in the simple shack, he didn't find anyone, so he could only explain to Wang Fulin in a low voice. Wang Fulin knew that it was not that easy, and he didn't take it too seriously, just nodded slightly. However, after a few dishes were served, he saw that the top-quality porcelain on the simple wooden table was as white as jade and as thin as paper, and his eyes couldn't take it away. Although he was not an expert in appreciating porcelain, and he could not determine the value, but he could only confirm it.

How could a fisherman who can’t even afford to build a house and wear good clothes have such good things?

The old fisherman who personally arranged the dishes to serve the dishes said with a smile: "I often entertain the nobles from the city like this. I know that the rough porcelain guys at home are not suitable for guests, so I prepared such a good set. This is the good porcelain in Guangzhou. I can't buy such a set if I kill my head. It was a half-selling and half-giving businessman who came here to try it out."

"This is a good opportunity! But it's just that, good dishes are served with good utensils." Wang Fulin said this, but he asked the old fisherman to sit down and eat together without any politeness. Instead, he gave him some money and sent him away, and chewed himself up, and praised him from time to time. The old fisherman was so excited about seeing everyone's chopsticks flying, and couldn't help but smile proudly, as if he was very happy that his family's skills were appreciated. Just as he was rubbing his fingers secretly, he suddenly saw one of the particularly tall middle-aged men stand up and walk towards him.

"It's really boring to have vegetables but no wine. Is there any wine? The rice wine I brewed by myself is fine, I'll give you more money!"

After catching the thing that the other party threw away casually, the old fisherman looked down and found that it was a piece of silver worth two taels. He immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, of course, yes, please wait for a moment when you distinguished guests!"

After the old fisherman and Lu Guangwu brought two urns of wine that claimed to be homemade rice wine, Wang Fulin drank two bowls and took a nap in a bit sleepy way. The other people were also addicted to alcohol. Seven or eight people, you, I, and a bowl, I drank a urn of wine. Soon I fell asleep, and I was drunk. Seeing that everyone was falling, the old fisherman stepped forward lightly and pushed Wang Fulin, who was obviously the leader. Seeing that there was no response at all, he smirked and poked the other people's legs without hesitation. He found that one of them had indeed been completely put down. He smiled and slapped hard.

"Come in. I poured my unique five-step secret into wine, and I couldn't even resist a cow, let alone a human? If I had known this, why would I have to consider the amount and add it to the dish, and I was afraid that people would taste it?"

"Fu Gong, how do you deal with these people?"

"Old method. Search your body, take down all the valuables, and then sell them in another place. As for them, they will tie stones to their bodies and sink to the sea! No one can be seen alive or no corpse, who can find out?"

"But in the end, others have seen it in the village..."

"What are you afraid of? As long as my Ah Xiong is still on the sea for a day, they dare not do anything! They know whether the government is powerful or the pirates are fierce!"

Seeing that there were still people hesitating, it was obvious that there were more people coming to the door this time. If they were really sinking into the sea like before, if they still stayed in Xin'an City, it would be a big trouble. The old fisherman seemed to have seen through the hesitant thoughts of his accomplices and said in a stronger tone: "Why, do you really hope that someone will come to our small fishing village to try it out? I will sorry God if this fat sheep is not slaughtered!"
