Chapter 143: The Old Man (1)

On the day of the trial, everyone who heard the news rushed over. Except for the high platform, which is reserved for trial cases, as long as there is a place below that can stand people, it is crowded with ordinary people.

In front of the people of the county, Wen Qing'an listed the crimes of Master Jiang, Biaozi and others one by one.

But no matter how Qing'an questioned, Master Jiang, Biao Zi and others did not admit that what they committed was to resist death.

But fortunately, the people who had been oppressed by Biaozi and others stood up one after another, shouting out all kinds of bad deeds of Biaozi and others. For a time, the mood of the people spiraled out of control.

But it was also because of this huge number of witnesses that Wen Qing'an finally convicted Master Jiang and the others.

However, in the process of trial, there was a small accident.

At least for Wen An'an, this accident was really unexpected.

Because Master Jiang, who has always seemed to be shrewd, not only did he not take the initiative to admit his guilt and ask for leniency on the high platform, but in front of the public, he shook out the matter of Wen Qing'an accepting their silver.

When he heard Master Jiang scolding Wen Qing'an for being a corrupt official, Wen An'an's heart hung up.

Although Wen Qing'an's purpose is to lure the snake out of the hole, if it is really that kind of 'unseepable' means, exposed to the sun, it is estimated that the prestige that Father Wen has built up with great difficulty will be greatly reduced.

With Wen Qing'an's cleverness, of course, he also thought of this aspect.

Therefore, no matter how reasonable and well-founded Master Jiang said, Master Wen just sat on the chair and replied to him lightly: "You used this kind of story to deceive the people and frame the official!" ”

It is estimated that the reputation of Master Jiang and the others at that time in the hearts of the people has fallen to the bottom. Therefore, Wen Qing'an's simple sentence made all the people fall to him.

In the end, Wen Qingan made a verdict of conviction in front of the people.

Master Jiang. On charges of dereliction of duty, collusion with local ruffians, oppression of the people, and false accusations against officials, he was dismissed from his position, all his belongings were confiscated, and he was severely punished with 100 boards and imprisoned in the county prison.

Biaozi and others formed a party for personal gain, bullied the people, confiscated all their belongings, and held them accountable for 50 boards, and drove them out of Yongli County after parading through the streets.

Meantime. Wen Qing'an also announced to the people that the property of Master Jiang, Biao Zi and others would be confiscated, and a small part would be sent to the official treasury, and the other part would be returned to the people in the county.

The three fires burned by Wen Qing'an's new official when he took office cannot but be said to be prosperous and fierce.

It was also after this battle that Wen Qingan really gained a firm foothold in Yongli County.

After disposing of Master Jiang and Biaozi, Wen Qing'an appointed Uncle Xue as the catcher of Yongli County, and Nie Changfu and a few trustworthy people recommended by him also became the official of the government office.

After that. The people of Yongli County are prosperous and live and work in peace and contentment.

Although Wen Anan would love to say this, life is not a fairy tale and will never go on the way you imagined.

So the reality is. Since dealing with Master Jiang and them, Wen Qing'an has been so busy that he almost doesn't even have time to eat because of the official business accumulated by the government office.

But fortunately, he also had Uncle Xue and Uncle Nie by his side to help. Even Wen Anze and Wen Anhao often go to help their father deal with some things.

But for Wen Qing'an now, no matter how busy he is, he will spare an hour or two. Go and tutor several of their children with their homework.

Since Master Jiang's matter was resolved, Wen Qing'an began to assign homework to a group of their children. This also includes Chu Fan, Ah Da and Yan'er.

Not only that, Wen Qing'an also planned to hire a martial arts master for them.

and also asked Wen An'an and Yan'er to practice martial arts with their brothers, but this decision was still voted against by Wen and others.

After thinking about it again, it is estimated that Wen Qing'an was reluctant to let his daughter suffer, and in the end, he did not mention the matter of letting their girls learn martial arts.

After a few months of hustle and bustle, you thought life would go on as it is now, but it had to play some jokes on you.

Looking at Yan'er who poured tea violently, Wen Anan asked her again uncertainly: "Yan'er, you're not joking with me, are you?" ”

Rubbing the water stains on her mouth with the back of her hand, Yan'er gasped and said, "What do I have the heart to joke with you now." Absolutely true."

"Let's go, let's take a look"

"Yes, Miss"

Wen An'an rolled her eyes at Yan'er: "How many times have I told you, don't call me Miss anymore." I'm not a young lady either."

"That's not good, I didn't understand it before, but now that I've learned the rules, I can't call it like that anymore"

Why didn't she find out before that this Yan'er was so stubborn. Hey, I knew that Lu Dao was like this, and when Wen set rules for himself, he wouldn't pull Yan'er as a companion.

"Miss, what are you doing here, hurry up"

Without saying anything more, Wen Anan followed Yan'er and quickly ran outside the gate.

Not long after they arrived, they saw a carriage swaying slowly outside their gate.

When the carriage came to a stop, the people inside lifted the curtain and walked out of the carriage.

"Zhou, Zhou" Wen Anan pointed at Zhou Bingren with his finger in surprise for a long time, and did not say a complete sentence.

"An An, don't you miss Uncle Zhou very much?"

Without waiting for Wen An'an to answer, Zhou Bingren took a few big steps and stepped forward to lift Wen An'an.

was held by Zhou Bingren and turned around in place several times, and it was not until Wen Anan was about to vomit out the overnight meal that Zhou Bingren stopped turning in circles.

Holding his dizzy head, Wen An'an seemed to ask, "Uncle Zhou, why did you come back here?" Are you here to do business? Do you know what my dad knows about you here? ”

Zhou Bingren touched Wen An'an's head with a smile, and then turned his head and instructed the subordinates behind him: "Go and unload the things on the car, and then park the carriage in the yard."

After the instructions, Zhou Bingren hugged Wen Anan and walked to the courtyard.

Seeing that Zhou Bingren was not even polite, he strode forward as if he had entered his own house, Wen An'an's face was really embarrassed and full of black lines.

"An An, where is your father?"

"Maybe it's in the study in the front yard," he pointed out the direction to Zhou Bingren, "Uncle Zhou, what is the matter with your visit this time?" ”

"Can't I come to your house if there's no matter?"

If you are a businessman, eloquence is good. One sentence choked Wen An and didn't know how to answer.

Touching his nose in a sneer, Wen Anan laughed twice before saying, "Look at what Uncle Zhou said, I'm not curious, this is far away."

Speaking of this, Wen Anan suddenly clapped his hands: "Oh, Uncle Zhou, you are passing by here on business, right?"

"No, I'm here for you."

After leaving this sentence, Zhou Bingren didn't say anything more.

Seeing him like this, Wen Anan also didn't continue to ask with interest.

Under the 'command' of Wen An'an, the two of them came to the courtyard where Wen Qing'an worked.

Before Wen An'an could open his throat and shout, Uncle Xue happened to come out of the study.

To Wen Anan's surprise, Uncle Xue did not show a surprised expression when he saw Zhou Bingren holding him.

"Brother Zhou, long time no see" After speaking, Xue Chengyong hugged his fists and saluted Zhou Bingren.

"Why is Brother Xue so polite, it's all his own family, his own family", raised his hand to block Xue Chengyong's salute, Zhou Bingren looked at him from head to toe: "I haven't seen you for a few months, I didn't expect Brother Xue to become an official"

If they didn't know Zhou Bingren's personality, they would really think that this sentence was deliberately sarcastic and sarcastic.

"Brother Zhou, don't make fun of the little brother"

"Tell me about you, why are you still so rigid. Hear Kiyoshi say, you weren't like this before."

Zhou Bingren's words are true.

Wen Anan still remembers Uncle Xue when the family first met in the restaurant, he was bold, talkative, and gave people a big grinning feeling.

But now he always looks like a silent man, as if he has changed people.

The accident four years ago really caused an indelible blow to their family.

Just when Wen Anan was still immersed in memories, Wen Qingan's voice pulled her back.

"An An, don't come down quickly, why do you always let Uncle Zhou hug you?"

Hearing his father's words, Wen Anan twisted his body and was about to get off, but he was held down by Zhou Bingren: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, just the weight of her body, I still hold it."

Since Zhou Bingren insisted on hugging him, Wen Qingan didn't want to say anything more.

After walking in front of Zhou Bingren in a few steps and giving a salute, Wen Qing'an said with a smile: "I originally received your letter from Brother Zhou, but I thought you would arrive later." I didn't expect to come today."

What's the matter, listening to the meaning of his father's words, Zhou Bingren's arrival today has already been 'prepared' with him? (To be continued......)
