Soon, the official reported the details of Xiahe Township to Zhang Hao and others who were waiting at the county office.

The reality is truly shocking.

Township Chief Lu lied to the villagers of Xiahe Township by falsely reporting the number of livestock and charging them double the rent.

And instead of distributing the livestock, it was rented to a township in the next county at a high price.

After the spring plowing was completed in Zhonghe Township, the other two townships were also completed, but he lied to Zhang Hao that it would take some more time.

Recover the people's interests and lie to the superiors. On the surface, Zhang Hao's face was calm, but his heart was already furious.

The people below are also whispering.

"This old Lu is so bold, he dares to do this."

"But no, he thought that this is the same as in the past, and that the county order will only care whether the rent is paid or not, no matter what he does behind his back.

As everyone knows, this county order is very different from its predecessors. ”

"I heard that he used all the money we gave us at the last reception banquet for the construction of the ranch, so I didn't dare to do what I did before."

"Alas, poor old Lu can't understand it, killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, and becoming the first chicken."

"If you want me to say that Lao Zhang has made a lot of money this time and got the shares of the ranch, this is much more than cheating the people of money, and there is no need to worry about accidents.

Now Lao Zhang's reputation in our Fang County can be ranked behind the county order. ”

Hearing this, Township Chief Zhang had a smug look on his face.

After listening to the report of the officer, Zhang Hao said: "Since it has been investigated, there is nothing to say."

Arrest and dispose of all the people in the Lu Township Chief's family except for the baby, and confiscate all his family property. ”

"No."

Then Zhang Hao said to Wang He and the others in the hall: "Now I see that not only you Sanyangli, but the entire Xiahe Township is in the same situation. ”

"I beg the county order to help us and other people." Wang He and the others said in unison.

"You are all my people, and I will not ignore you.

All the rents paid in Xiahe Township were refunded, and the spring plowing in the other three townships has been completed, and in order to catch up with the schedule, all the remaining livestock will be allocated to Xiahe Township.

In addition, each household is given ten dollars as compensation, which is paid out of the income of the pasture. ”

Zhang Hao said his own disposal plan.

"Thank you for the prefectural order."

Afterwards, the people of Fang County would still discuss this matter before and after tea.

"This thief of the remnants of the people, everyone will be punished, Zhang County ordered to deal with Township Chief Lu this time, it is really happy."

"That guy has been constantly looting the people's fat and ointment since he took office before, and the previous faint officials ignored him and made him more and more rampant, but I didn't expect to meet Zhang County's order this time, hehehe."

"To say that this county order is really a rare good official, he thinks about the people of Fang County everywhere."

"You still need to say it, everyone knows it."

……

At the end of April, Fang County completed spring ploughing, although there was a small episode in the middle, but fortunately, Zhang Hao remedied it in time, and finally caught up.

Immediately afterwards, a piece of news made Zhang Hao a little at a loss.

More than half a year after getting married, Fang Wan became pregnant, and Zhang Hao was going to be a father.

This is Fang Wan's dowry maid Xiaohuan hurriedly ran into the county office to inform Zhang Hao.

The moment he heard the news, Zhang Hao was writing a report on spring ploughing, but his hand shook, and the ink left a large black spot on the paper.

Then there was an almost frantic yelling: "I'm going to be a father!" I'm going to be a dad! ”

It's just that it's still difficult to vent the joy in his heart, so when he sees people, he says, "I'm going to be a father", which makes the whole city know.

also deliberately ran to the stable and shared his joy with Xiaobai.

It's just that Zhang Hao was a little too happy. He originally thought that he could settle down, implement the development plan in his heart step by step, and then wait for the birth of his child.

An official document sent from the Youzhou Thorn Mansion interrupted Zhang Hao's good wishes.

It turned out that someone used the collusion between officials and businessmen to seek public interests as an excuse to sue Zhang Hao against Guo Xun.

However, seeing that the Zhang family is also a Youzhou family, Liu Yu also instructed to treat the Zhang family well before being transferred, Guo Xun did not directly convict Zhang Hao, but allowed him to go back to Jixian County to report on his work and explain to himself in person.

At night, Fang Wan leaned comfortably on Zhang Hao's chest, squinting like a sleeping cat.

"Actually, a few days ago, I was feeling very tired and wanted to sleep, and I thought I was sick.

Today, when I was eating with Xiaoqing, I retched inexplicably, and when the doctor came, I found out that I was pregnant. Fang Wan said softly.

Zhang Hao stroked her back, feeling like she was petting a cat, and said, "Just this time I went back to Jixian to report on my work, you can go back with me."

I'm afraid that if I'm too busy to take care of you. During this time, I will have a good baby in my hometown. With my parents taking care of me, I feel at ease. ”

Fang Wan sat up and flatly refused: "No, I don't agree." I am pregnant with your flesh and blood, and I am not a burden. There is no reason to let your parents help you take care of your wife and children. ”

Zhang Hao was stunned, "But aren't other families like this, besides, the conditions in Jixian County are much stronger than this, with a better environment and more people to take care of."

It's cold and harsh in winter, so what if it affects the children? Isn't this also for the sake of your mother and son? ”

"I don't listen, I don't listen, you're all an excuse. Oh~ I know, now that I'm pregnant, it's inconvenient, you want to break me away so that you can find a small one, right? You have no conscience, woo~"

Seeing Fang Wan crying inexplicably, Zhang Hao was completely stunned, and his heart was full of question marks: What is this situation, why can't I understand it? What did I say wrong?

"What are you thinking, some nonsense, some nothing. When did I say I was going to marry the younger one? ”

"Just because you didn't say it doesn't mean you don't think so, you men are all the same, my brother married a concubine when my sister-in-law was pregnant, and now you must be like this."

Zhang Hao felt that his braincase was so rising, Fang Zhu, this bastard was far away in the sky, and he wanted to harm me.

"Okay, I'm wrong."

"Know it's wrong?"

"Hmm."

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Hao thought to himself: I'm really looking for guilt.

"I shouldn't have thought about sending you home, and I shouldn't have thought about finding another woman, and I should ask Madame for forgiveness."

"That's pretty much it."

Fang Wan stopped crying, and it was a bit reluctant to say that she was crying, because Zhang Hao didn't seem to have a tear on her face.

Lying in Zhang Hao's arms again, Zhang Hao hugged her and said, "Didn't I promise you, even if I want to take a woman home in the future, I have to get your consent." Don't worry, I'll be there for you. ”

"For your sake, I'll forgive you."

……

The next day, Zhang Hao only took Zheng Meng and a few guards on the road back to Jixian County.

However, this time the road was much easier than when he came in October last year, and Zhang Hao returned to Jixian County in ten days.

Zhang Hao first returned home to greet his parents, and by the way, he told them about Fang Wan's pregnancy.

However, the mother-in-law, Cheng, was a guest at home, which just saved the time to go to Fangfu.

"What do you say, Woo Woo is pregnant? I'm going to be a grandmother? The two said in unison.

"It's... Yes. Zhang Hao couldn't raise his head at all in front of the momentum of the two mothers.

"Oh, congratulations, my mother." The program said with a smile

"Yes, yes, it's something to celebrate." Zheng also said with a red face, "I have to go and worship my ancestors and inform them of the news that the Zhang family has a future." ”

Cheng asked again: "Why did you come back alone, why didn't my daughter come back?" ”

Zheng also reacted and said, "Yes, yes, why didn't my daughter-in-law come back."

Although my son is an official in Fang County, it is too poor to say there, and it is not good for pregnant women to be there, so they should go back to Ji County to take good care of them. ”

Zhang Hao said helplessly: "I persuaded her, but she refused." ”

"I can't let my daughter do this, right, my mother." Cheng ignored his daughter for the sake of his grandson, and obviously stood on Zheng's side.

"Yes, for the sake of my grandson, I have to take it back to live."

Zhang Hao saw that the two mothers wanted to settle the matter when they said it, and he felt that it was not very good, after all, he had promised Fang Wan.

"Son, let's forget about this, just let the girl be by my side, and I will take care of her."

Zheng Shi was not happy when he heard it, "A big man knows how to take care of people, you were born for your mother, and your mother has known since she was a child that your kid is clumsy and doesn't know how important it is, what if I accidentally let my daughter-in-law bump into it?" ”

"Anyway, I am also her husband, and she is pregnant with my flesh and blood, and it is impossible for me to hurt her. Besides, Wu'er is pregnant, and it's not good if I'm not around. ”

Zheng wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Cheng.

"Mingde is right, I think when I was a student and a scholar, my lord went far away, and I didn't think about tea and dinner at that time, and I was always cranky in my heart.

When this woman is pregnant, her husband should indeed be by her side, and then we can also go over to see her, as long as it is a good day, we will definitely be able to hold our grandson as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Hao thought to himself: I was wrong, my mother-in-law is still thinking about her daughter.

Zheng also compromised, "Forget it, what my mother-in-law said makes sense, you haven't taken care of anyone when you're so old, but you really have to learn it." ”

That night, Zheng told Zhang Zhen the news, and the old man was so excited that he kept laughing and pulled off several of his beards.

Zhang Hao is his only son, and the Zhang family is the only seedling in Zhang Zhen's generation, which makes Zhang Zhen always feel ashamed of his ancestors.

Now that Zhang Hao has a descendant, the ancestral incense has been inherited, which makes him relieved. The son is still young, and there will definitely be more than one child in the future, and the Zhang family will definitely be prosperous.

The family quickly set up the offerings, and such good news must comfort the ancestors of the Zhang family.
