Chapter 89 Sue the Officer
Holding a delicate hoe with small flowers, Yunxi loosened the soil for a few peonies. handed the flower hoe to Yu Huan, and took the watering can from Yu Ting's hand and watered the flowers. Back in the pavilion in the middle of the garden, Yun Xi wiped his hands with a towel, and asked Lai Steward who was waiting outside the curtain with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Lai, how are you talking?" ”
Although he had been waiting for a while, Steward Lai still had a calm expression: "Several other families have already refused, only the Shen family secretly sent someone to contact the small one." However, they did not agree to sell, only agreed to merge shares, and the original stewards could not be replaced. Also, I want our He Mansion to show sincerity and let the Seventh Master and the three girls of their family marry. ”
"That's a sky-high price, isn't it?" Yun Xi smiled slightly, "It's okay to join forces, but the Shen family can only get dividends." The stewards and craftsmen can stay, but it will be arranged by our He Mansion. Married to the Seventh Master? Are they worthy of the Shen family? Either marry the fifth master, or be the concubine of the seventh master, and let them choose by themselves. Go and tell the Shen family master, the later the time, the more difficult the conditions will be, and we will not wait for the He Mansion to be outdated! ”
"Yes, Third Grandma."
After taking a sip of tea, Yun Xi continued to ask, "How about the amount of iron these days?" There is not much iron left in the warehouse, and the Xia family has ordered another 20,000 iron pots. In addition to the letter from my father, the ordnance and iron materials that the generals wanted, we need at least 500,000 catties more per month? And it is best to have 20,000 catties of stainless steel. ”
Steward Lai hurriedly announced: "The newly lit iron furnace is running very well, and it can produce three furnaces a day. Several steel stir-fry masters have seen it, and the fried steel is completely sufficient. ”
"Oh? Is that really the case? ”
"The little one will never dare to deceive the third grandmother. I heard that Xiaohongling has robbed Shanglin Village, and the ore that can be provided every month can be several times more. And that Bai Er is quite particular about doing things, and the ores for us are all of the highest quality. The small ones have also been inspected with their own eyes, and they are better than the high-grade ores produced by several of our mines. Several masters are saying that with such ore, the amount of iron produced is high, and it is easy to fry steel. ”
"Really? It's a capable one. Yun Xi smiled and complimented. But she suddenly had some doubts, "Eh, Bai Er?" Where do you seem to have heard this name? ”
Yuhuan on the side hurriedly reminded: "Miss, it's the one who made trouble in Jingjiazhuang a few days ago." ”
Yu Ting also added on the side: "It's the one who sold books to the Seventh Master." It also scared the seventh master and the young lady. ”
"Is that him?" Yun Xi was a little surprised, "If you don't do it, why did you go to Jingjiazhuang?" It's a pity, I heard that he can still write and draw, why don't you stay in Laizhou City to live a serious life, and go to Jingjiazhuang to take the crooked road by selling boxing scripts? ”
Hearing this, the housekeeper Lai outside remembered one thing: "Third grandma, the Wang family has sent someone to find the little one a few times, just for this Bai Er." ”
Yun Xi has never taken care of such trivial matters, and it was Yu Wan who was in charge of this before. And she was a little strange: "Uncle Lai, haven't you already ordered it?" Xiaohongling and Shanglin Village are rivers and lakes affairs, let the Wang family solve it by themselves? Doesn't this matter have anything to do with our He Mansion? ”
Steward Lai hurriedly said: "Third grandmother, Miss Wan'er, this time I came to find the little one, and the Wang family said that they were willing to give us face in Hefu." They can ignore the affairs of Shanglin Village. But the Wang family died eight family members, including the steward of their house, Agui, so they must ask for an explanation. ”
Although compared to Hefu, the Wang family is the weaker side. But all they care about is their own family, and they don't care about the lives of big dogs and wind swingers.
"Oh? What do they want to say? Yun Xi sneered.
"They said they were going to sue the official, and they weren't afraid to make a big fuss!"
"Hahaha!" Yun Xi laughed, and together with the Yu family sisters, they all covered their mouths and laughed, "Old Man Wang is not old and confused, right?" Did he jump off the wall in a hurry? ”
In Laizhou Mansion, how many officials dare to take on such a lawsuit? And on the bright side, Xiaohongling has nothing to do with Hefu, even if you talk about the evidence and "Da Ming Law", it will not involve Hefu at all.
The reason why the Wang family did this was nothing more than to get back a little face and give an account to the people who followed them. Therefore, such conditions are not even a threat, but show the anger of the Wang family. If the Wang family's methods are tougher, they should first go to Qin Bai in Xiaohongling and use thunder methods. Where is the need for a lawsuit?
When the laughter stopped, Yun Xi ordered: "Then let's also back up the gift and send it to the county government with our post!" Let the Wang family sue casually. Uncle Lai, you can withdraw two hundred taels from the account again, and let Zhenwei's Feng Ye reward that Bai Er. Tell him that this matter in Shanglin Village has been done well, and our He Mansion is very satisfied. If the Wang family really sues the official, the face of the government still has to be given, so just fool around and let him hand over eight people at will! ”
"Three grandmothers are merciful." Steward Lai smiled and took the order.
……
A few hours later, at the door of the inner courtyard behind the Yamen of Ye County in Laizhou City, Master Zhang was waiting outside the door, and when he heard the movement, he saw Si Fan, the county magistrate wearing regular clothes, coming to him, with a slightly unhappy face: "Mr. Zhang, why is it so urgent?" ”
"Dong Weng." Master Zhang saluted respectfully. He knew that Si Fan had been working in Ye County for two and six years, and he was already quite familiar with local affairs and the bad rules of the yamen, so he didn't dare to be blinded, "The king of Jingjiazhuang handed over the paper, suing the countryside for a private fight, and hurting the lives of their Wang family. ”
"Oh?" Taking the paper handed by Master Zhang, Si Fan took a cursory look at it. Then he threw it into Master Zhang's hand, his expression was a little impatient, "Don't you know how to end the lawsuit?" Or eight? Dismissed, heard, I Jews also. and there will be no lawsuits! ”
Master Zhang understood Si Fan's thoughts, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty had to go to the Ministry of Officials to elect officials after serving two terms. Therefore, Si Fan has been full of fish in the past few years, and now he wants to spend the remaining days smoothly, and strive to get a "top" in the evaluation, so as to facilitate the activities of the officials.
Therefore, such a private fight outside Laizhou City is best done by the people. Otherwise, if there are eight murders at once, then Si Fan's peak evaluation will definitely become black and bright.
However, Master Zhang hurriedly stopped Si Fan and reminded in a low voice: "Dong Weng, please take a closer look." Also, the king attached two hundred taels to the outside. ”
"Huh?" Si Fan frowned, it was not that two hundred taels was too much, but that it was pitiful. That's eight lives, do you really think that using the government is to send Hanako? Si Fan pondered for a while, and asked in a low voice, "I should have heard of that Wang Yuan, his family is rich, and he is quite thoughtful?" ”
"Yes, yes, Dong On. Look at it, this piece of paper of his, there is an article in it! ”
