Chapter Ninety-Six: You Go and Ask the County Master
Holly filled the last Lantern Festival into her stomach, and then hurriedly went over to open the door, and as soon as she opened it, she saw that Hua Ling, the second uncle of the Hua family, had an anxious look on his face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's the second master, is there anything wrong at this time?" came to knock on the door at night, and Holly's tone was not bad, can't they let their young master have a good holiday?
"Where is so much nonsense, what about your young lady and young master, their grandparents told them to go back quickly!" Hua Ling seemed to be in a hurry, pushed Holly away, and was about to enter the door.
"The second uncle came to visit late at night, I don't know what happened?" Hua Jin also heard the movement, took Hua Qi, and went to the courtyard together, and said.
Hua Ling's eyes lit up when she saw the two of them, "You guys come with me, I don't know why two errand servants came to detain your grandmother to the county government!"
Although Hua Jin already knew what would happen, he still made a nervous look, "What's going on?"
Hua Ling hesitated, didn't speak, just blindly urged, "You'll know when you go over!"
Hua Jin had no choice, turned back to Furong and said, "Furong, you take Yinhua at home, let's go to the old mansion, unless we come back, don't open the door to anyone, you know?"
"Second Uncle should tell us about it, we must let us know what is going on, so that we can deal with it!"
Hua Yu thought about it, so he said, "The official said that Gang'er was involved in the imperial examination fraud, come and get people!"
Hua Jin secretly said in his heart that everything was as planned, and then frowned and said, "There are still a few days before the Tongsheng test, so why cheat?"
Hua Yu was also unclear, "I don't know about this, now my father and mother are dragging it, you go over and take a look!"
The old man Hua and Mrs. Hua were also panicking, the officials came to get people, where did they know what was going on, their first reaction was to find someone, they had heard that Hua Jin had a relationship with Mrs. County Ling, so they tried to drag Hua Jin to come over to find Hua Jin.
Hua Jin's sister and brother followed Hua Ling into the door, and saw that the two officials were already waiting impatiently and wanted to take people away.
When Mrs. Hua saw Hua Jin coming, she immediately said loudly, "You dare to arrest us, my granddaughter knows the wife of your county master, you arrest us, and when the time comes, see if your county lady will spare you!"
It just so happened that one of the two officials had really seen Hua Jin, "Miss Hua, are they your family?" said politely.
"Poor master, the little girl is polite!" Hua Jin didn't care what Mrs. Hua said, just bowed slightly, and said politely, "I am the granddaughter of the Hua family, and the poor master wants to take people, but what law did they violate?"
Seeing that she was polite, the official said, "Today, the adults met someone on the street who said that Huajia Huagang had once bribed the county magistrate in Xuancheng to ensure that he could pass the children's life test, because this matter was very involved and affected the official reputation of the adult, so it was being tried overnight, and the Hua family and others also had to go to the county government for questioning!"
"What kind of bribe the county master?" Mrs. Hua heard people say this, so naturally she shouldn't "My Gang'er didn't say that, he just said that there are friends who can buy the test questions in advance!"
Old man Hua is far away, and he really wants to cover this ignorant old lady.
The corners of Hua Jin's mouth twitched, how did this old lady live to such an age, how could she say such things at this time?
The two officials didn't seem to hear it, but Hua Jin believed that everything that happened here would be reported to Lord Wang word for word. Hua Jin sighed, saluted again and said, "The two poor masters are hard, since it is the county master who wants to ask, we naturally have to cooperate, but this Lijia Village deviates, the road is difficult, the grandparents are also old, and they can't walk too much at night, the little woman has a carriage at home, I don't know if I can ask the two poor masters to make it convenient to make a carriage to the county seat?"
There is a car to sit, who wants to walk, the two servants naturally agreed, Rong Mama took advantage of the lack of people, stuffed two purses for them, weighed the weight, and the two of them nodded with satisfaction. Then Hua Jiu and Hua Jiu carried Hua Yu, who was injured in the leg, and got into the carriage together.
"You go to the county seat together, Hua Jin, don't you know the county master, you go and beg the county master, your brother has no cheating, let him not treat him!" When Li Juhua was about to follow the car, she saw Hua Jin and Hua Cheng standing behind, did not follow, and was about to pull them.
Hua Jin frowned, and avoided her hand that was about to pull her cuffs, "Since the Hua family has something to do, although we are separated, we are also in the same vein, we naturally want to go over, just let the eldest aunt walk in front!"
The two officials frowned when they saw the Hua family's attitude towards Hua Jin's sister and brother, they had heard before that the little lady who made flower dew was forced to split up and didn't get any farm property. I used to think it was an exaggeration, but now it seems that the two siblings are indeed having a hard time.
The group walked for two hours before they arrived at the county seat, at this time the sky outside was already a little bright, Huajin and they were all mentally exhausted, even so, the two officials did not rest at all, and brought people to the county office.
Lord Wang, who was resting in the back office, was sleeping in his clothes, and when he heard that someone had brought it, he immediately put on his official uniform and ascended to the hall. Even if it's still early, there are a lot of idlers in this county who love to watch the excitement, and there are still people watching the excitement.
"Is the hall the old and young of the Hua family?" Lord Wang's eyes were like torches, and he sat on the stage.
Hua Jin was quiet on the side, it stands to reason that she and Hua Cheng are separated, this matter has nothing to do with them, since it is a question, she has no reason to come out to speak.
Old man Hua is the head of the family, so he naturally has to take responsibility, "Lord County, Xiao Lao'er is Huayu, they are all the children and grandchildren of our Hua family!"
"Okay, today there is a lady of the Liu family in Lijia Village who claimed that Sun Huagang, the head of your Hua family, personally said that he once gave the county master a benefit of fifty taels to ensure that he could pass the children's test this time, yes or no?"
"The county lord is polite, we don't know who this lady of the Liu family is!" Old man Hua said first, "As for the fifty taels of silver to the county order, I haven't said it, please be clear!"
"Sure enough, bring the lady of the Liu family and the villagers of Lijia Village to testify!" Wang Xianling said.
Several errand officers really brought a cadre of people from behind to wait for the hall, the villagers of Lijia Village originally came to the county seat just to enjoy the lanterns, but they got into trouble with the officials and were locked up in the county government for a night, at this time it was the time of resentment, and they saw that the Hua family was vicious, "My lord, they said it personally, and they took fifty taels of silver out to make a point, and this time they will definitely be able to take the middle school entrance examination!"
A few people saw Hua Jin and Hua Cheng in the hall again, so they pointed to them and said, "Hua Jin and Hua Gong can testify, at that time, the old man and the old lady of the Hua family brought people to the door to find Hua Jin, they asked for silver, at that time I also heard Hua Jin say, if you want to be a scholar and an official, you should study hard, don't go crooked, and then said that you don't have so much silver, and you also provoked a scolding!"
Wang Xianling only saw at this time that Hua Jin, the little lady who often corresponded with his wife, was actually in the hall. (To be continued.) )
