Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law glanced at Lin Wenbiao, and then at Wei Bao, and she didn't know if there was any Wei Gongzi that Wei Zhongba said among these two people.

Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law is not familiar with the Wei family, but she knows that in the entire Jinshan, in such a large place, it seems that there is only one family surnamed Wei who comes from outside, and it is a small household. The speed at which it made its fortune was unimaginable.

Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law didn't know how to answer Wei Zhongba's question, her face was red, and she pursed her mouth tightly.

"Let me ask you, why do you live in Yongping Mansion? Did Hou Lixing take you there, or did you run away with him yourself? Although Wei Zhongba knew Zhao Laosi's daughter-in-law, but his attitude was very bad, looking at this woman's ruddy face, he knew that she did not suffer after following Hou Lixing, guessing that most of this woman was willing to follow Hou Lixing, which made people even more angry.

"What does it have to do with you? Are you Yamen? What did I do? Why ask? Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law couldn't help but scold.

Wei Bao, Lin Wenbiao, Wei Zhongba, and Wang Qiuya, who was sitting behind Wei Bao, couldn't help but look at each other, they didn't expect Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law to be so tough, and dare to be so presumptuous when they arrived at the police station. But they understood in a blink of an eye that when this woman left, Weijiazhuang was not Weijiazhuang, she didn't know what the police station was for, and if she let someone like Zhao Kehu interrogate her, she would know that she was afraid.

Wei Gongzi was a little strange, it turned out that Zhao Xiaolian, who listened to Zhao Kehu's family and accused Zhao Kehu of having a leg with Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law, said that this Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law is a very honest person, looking at it this way, it doesn't look like it.

Wei Bao estimates that his perception of honesty may be a little different from that of people in this era, for those women in the township, as long as their temper is not too hot, and they do not act at every turn, it is estimated that they can be classified as honest.

"Now Jinshanli is part of Weijiazhuang, our Wei Gongzi is much bigger than Lizheng, and the land and people of the entire Weijiazhuang are Wei Gongzi's! Wei Gongzi is here, do you dare to spill? Wei Zhongba said solemnly: "Do you know what you have committed now?" You can be immersed in a pig cage at any time! Are you going to dip the pig cage, or are you going to be burned alive? ”

Hearing Wei Zhongba say this, Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law was frightened, and said with a crying voice: "Xiaogen, I'm not, it's not that I want to follow Hou Lizheng, he forced me, I can't help myself." And I did it all for my father-in-law and son. "Xiaogen is Wei Zhongba's name before he got the surname Wei, and the orphans in the township are usually such simple nicknames, stones, stunned, dogs, or whatever.

Wei Zhongba looked at Wei Bao and asked with his eyes, wanting to ask if he wanted to tell Zhao Laosi and Zhao Laosi's son that they were dead? It seems that this woman obviously did not know that her father-in-law and son were dead. I don't know if Childe allows it or not.

Wei Bao also saw this, and said softly: "Needless to say, ask her when she got involved with Hou Lixing and when she left Jinshan." Also, ask her how many men she has been involved with, what is going on with Zhao Kehu? ”

Wei Zhongba nodded and said to Zhao's fourth daughter-in-law, "How did you get together with Hou Lixing?" When did you leave the Golden Mountain with him? How many men have you? What's going on with Zhao Kehu? ”

Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law blushed when she heard this, but she came out with a little self-embarrassment, and stammered: "I only work with Zhao Lizheng and Hou Lixing, and there is no one else." Zhao Li was the last time he was drunk, and when I waited for him, he forced me and gave me a little silver afterwards, I said I couldn't be sorry for Xianggong, and Zhao Lizheng didn't force me again. Hou Lixing was last year's Lantern Festival, Hou Lixing came to Zhao Lizheng's house as a guest, and I waited on the side. After that, Master Zhao asked me to serve Hou Li, who had drunk too much, and was going to the side room to rest, and he insisted on me. After that, Hou Lixing came to pester me a few more times, I said that I had a husband and a family, and asked him not to look for me, and he kept coming. ”

Wei Bao felt that what Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law said was similar to what Zhao Kehu said before, so he believed that Zhao Kehu might have really only done it with this woman once, but he didn't like it for these landlords to play with women as objects. At least the women in the Qinglou have been trained, and the women of the other people know that they have to do this, at least they have a psychological preparation, and the big families play with their subordinates in private like this, and they also send them to play with each other, Wei Bao feels very bad.

"You shameless woman! Why did you take Hou Lixing to your house to get it? Wei Zhongba scolded loudly.

Wei Bao and Lin Wenbiao didn't expect Wei Zhongba to ask about this stubble, but this is the point, it should be asked, and it is not very surprising. Wang Qiuya couldn't do it, her face turned red with shame when she heard the words, and it was too late to withdraw at this time, so she could only listen silently to the side.

"I didn't take him there, he found it himself! He's a man, we don't have as much strength as him, and he still has subordinates, and he forces me every time. Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law hurriedly defended, and at the same time was very surprised, how could Xiaogen know that he and Hou Lixing had done it in his own home, this was a matter of shamelessness and should be hit by five thunders from the sky, she did not have a red face, but her face turned pale.

"How many times have you been to your house? Have your man and son ever bumped? Wei Zhongba asked.

"I can't remember how many times, no, my family and my children haven't met, we live on the edge of Jiazi, and every time Hou Lixing comes, it's when my man goes out to work." Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law said.

Wei Bao slapped the table angrily: "I can't remember how many times?" You brute! Is there any shame? The first time can be said to be forced, I don't know how many times I did it, where did you put your man? ”

Wei Bao listened to that with vigor, but his morality was condemning.

Zhao's fourth daughter-in-law lowered her head and said, "I know it's not good, and I also want to die." But he is Li Zheng, and it is rare for Master Li Zheng to take a fancy to a folk woman like us. Everyone knows that it's not good, but there is really a woman in a family who is taken by these masters, who are actually good for the family, at least to ensure that the family does not starve to death. And Hou Lixing promised to give my father-in-law a sum of silver, at least 10 taels, so that my father-in-law and my son could go to other places to make a living, and also said that in three or five years, I could also go to meet my father-in-law's son. ”

Wei Bao sighed secretly, people are poor and short-lived, horses are thin and long-haired, in this era of cannibalism at any time, in fact, men and women have been degraded to an indifferent position in the face of food and clothing, life and death, only warm people have the strength to say right and wrong, and only have the strength to manage the gossip of others, otherwise it is really like Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law said, if you can really solve the family's food and clothing for this, there may be how many people are envious.

"Did you offer to walk with Hou Li yourself, or did he take you away? Did you see him give you money? Wei Bao asked himself.

"I was taken away by Hou Lizheng, he ...... He said that as long as I follow him, my father-in-law and my son will have food, and will give them a sum of silver, at least 10 taels, so that they can go out to earn a living, otherwise our family of three will go out to escape the famine together, and most of us will starve to death, so I followed him for the sake of the child. As for the silver, I know that 10 taels of silver is nothing to him, and he probably won't lie to me. Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law said: "Moreover, not long after I arrived at Yongping Mansion with him, he brought a document with a fingerprint on it, saying that my father-in-law got the silver and sold me to him." ”

"Forget it, don't ask, let her put her fingerprint on the interrogation record, and then take her to prison!" Wei Bao has fully understood what has happened, and secretly hates this Hou Li's human-faced beast heart, the real damn it! If you simply fall in love with this woman, you really give someone a lot of money, and you make sense of your husband, so forget it. I wanted people, but I didn't want to pay, so I got the lives of Zhao Laosi and Zhao Laosi's son. If it weren't for the construction of diversion canals, drainage canals, and river embankments in Weijiazhuang, I am afraid that it will never be repaired to the barren beach by the sea, and I am afraid that this case will become an eternal unsolved case.

Not only that, Wei Bao estimated that it was impossible for Hou Lixing not to think that Weijiazhuang was building everywhere now, and sooner or later the bones would be dug up, but he didn't expect that he would be able to solve such a complicated clueless case.

Wei Zhongba asked Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law to take him down.

"Childe, don't you want to kill her? This woman, Wu Xiang is also going to take it away? Wang Qiuya said indignantly: "Even if you want to live, you shouldn't do this kind of thing, don't abide by women's morals." ”

Wei Bao said: "I don't know if Wu Xiang will take this woman away, he said that this woman will be disposed of by me, if Wu Xiang doesn't take it away, even if he wants to dispose of it, he will wait until the case of Hou Lixing, the commander of the Wei Command, is closed." ”

"This kind of woman should be burned alive!" Lin Wenbiao was also very angry.

Weijiazhuang did not burn this kind of criminal law, Wei Bao is still more humane, in addition to the fixed-term imprisonment, in the death penalty, there is no painful criminal law, such as the ancient common pig cage, burning, and burying alive, hanging, Weijiazhuang did not have.

Wei Bao prescribed that he should be shot in the temple, causing death at once. Or blow it up with a frying blade.

Anyway, you can't let people struggle in pain, they have all been sentenced to death, there is no need to let people suffer again before they die, people die like lights go out, and people who have been sentenced to death are actually no different from dead people.

In the afternoon, after Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfeng and others woke up, they were happy with the women for a while, and came to Wei Bao to ask for someone.

Hou Lixing will definitely be taken away, and the main witnesses like Hou Dayan must also be taken away. And Hou Dayan may also have the possibility of 'identity exchange' with Hou Lixing and become a scapegoat, which is the key to Wu Xiang's case.

As for Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law, Wu Xiang decided to leave this woman in Weijiazhuang and hand it over to Wei Bao for disposal after consulting Wei Bao again.

Wei Bao wanted to referendum on the death penalty, mainly for the purpose of clarifying the canonical punishment.

Wei Bao knows very well that in this kind of case, people often hate women more than adulterers! Especially ordinary people, men at the bottom of society, whether they have a family background or a bachelor without a family background, almost all men at the bottom of society. They will even think that a man like Hou Lixing, who has status, status and assets, takes it for granted to play with several women.

Wei Bao only wants peace and stability within Weijiazhuang, and he has never thought of changing the concept of male superiority and inferiority of women all at once, so that everyone feels that everyone should be equal, even if it is to transition from the feudal system to the capitalist system, the capitalist system is not a social system that emphasizes the equality of everyone. The big bourgeoisie is still the privileged class, and it is the core of the capitalist system that defends private property and the privileges of those who have assets.

Since Wei Bao has this attitude, Wu Xiang doesn't care, so he takes people away.

Originally, it was a combination of an adultery case and a murder case, but now a murder case alone is enough to convict a person of death, so the witness of Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law is dispensable.

And Wei Bao wants to carry out the death penalty for Zhao Lao's fourth daughter-in-law in Weijiazhuang, and there is no need for even evidence to file a case, Wei Bao's words, anyone in Weijiazhuang has to die.

"Master Wei, I took away all the officers and soldiers stationed in Weijiazhuang, right?" Wu Xiang smiled at Wei Bao.

Wei Bao smiled and nodded, secretly thinking that you can take it away today, and you can send it again tomorrow! He didn't take the words of these officials to heart, but maintaining a good relationship with Wu Xiang for the time being still made Wei Bao breathe a sigh of relief.

"Lord Wu, can our Tiandi business in Yongping Mansion and Shanhaiguan reopen?" Wei Bao asked.

"Okay, you do business in a proper manner, who dares to say anything? I'm still wondering, your business is doing so well, what are you doing with it? Wu Xiang said with a dry smile.

Hum.

Wei Bao was almost laughed at by Wu Xiang, it was you who sent someone to make trouble, so that our business could not continue, okay? Now it's like you don't know anything.

"If anything happens in the future, even if Gongzi Wei sends someone to find me, it is inconvenient to find me, and it is okay to find Sanfeng." Wu Xiang looks like a good person.

"In this way, thank you Lord Wu." Wei Bao said, and then said to Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfeng with a smile: "Chunyan and Rouge two girls, I will specially arrange for them to live the days of young grandmothers in the State Guest House, and if Lord Wu and Master Wu remember to play in our Weijiazhuang in the future, I will welcome them at any time, and let Chunyan and Rouge receive Lord Wu and Master Wu at any time." ”

Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfeng nodded with a smile when they saw that Wei Bao was so good at being a person.

Wei Bao admired Wu Xiang very much, in front of his son and daughter, he got a room of disgraceful women outside, but his attitude was very calm, as if he had received a horse and a carriage casually, and he didn't seem to take it seriously at all. Anyway, if you let yourself play with a woman with your son one day, you will definitely not be able to save face.

"Dad, I still want to play here for a few more days." Wu Sanfu made a timely request: "I messed up Wei Gongzi's classmates last time, and I want to be a host, and then find my classmates to get together." ”

Wu Xiang sighed, he didn't take it to heart, he let Wu Sanfu make trouble last time, and it was not entirely because he was afraid that Wei Bao would gather a group of rich children to raise Weijiazhuang to the imperial court, he knew very well that such a big thing was on the ground in western Liaoning, not only did he have to nod from the Wu family, but also had to let several major wealthy families in western Liaoning nod, and Wei Zhongxian would approve it, but he was at this level, and it was useless for anyone to raise it. Last time, it was just Wu Xiang's battle of will, and he didn't like Wei Bao to do it with him in front of him, which would make it seem that he had no control over it, and he couldn't do anything about Wei Bao.

"You just stay here to play with Wei Gongzi for a few days, you classmates and friends should be in one place." Wu Xiang said with a smile: "Enhance each other's studies more, I hope you can go to the township exam in two months, you can go to high school, and win glory for me in Liaoxi together. ”

"Yes, Daddy." Wu Sanfu was very happy to see that his father agreed, looked at Wu Xuexia, and said to Wu Xiang: "Dad, let Xuexia go back with me in a few days?" ”

Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfeng, and Wu Xuexia were stunned at the same time, and they didn't understand why Wu Sanfu suddenly made such a request?

Even Wei Bao, who was present, was a little confused, what did Wu Sanfu ask Wu Xuexia to stay for?

Wu Xuexia's face suddenly turned red, and she said angrily: "Second brother, what are you talking about?" ”

Wu Sanfu smiled: "Since you came out with you, don't you want to see more outside?" What does it mean to be locked up in the house all day long? Daddy has been busy with the case these days, and you have been living in Zhao Lizheng's house, and you haven't played much, wouldn't it be wonderful to stay with me in the State Guest House for a few days and walk around Weijiazhuang? ”

Wu Xiang instantly understood Wu Sanfu's intentions, and he knew that Wu Sanfu saw his thoughts.

Before, Wu Sanfu proposed to Wu Xiang to accept Wei Bao as his son-in-law, but Wu Xiang didn't really have any intentions, but now it's different.

Wei Bao has not only built Weijiazhuang into a rudimentary form, with a city wall more than two meters high on the periphery, but also a city wall more than 200 miles long! Spectacular.

The interior of Weijiazhuang is full of construction, reservoirs, diversion canals, drainage canals, river embankments, seawalls, harbors, wharves, and criss-crossing roads and bridges, all of which have opened Wu Xiang's eyes.

It is conceivable that Weijiazhuang will undergo earth-shaking changes in the near future.

These are not all, what makes Wu Xiang most excited is Wei Bao's talent, the talent of managing so many people.

In fact, Wu Xiang can grasp Wei Bao's fault the most, that is, Weijiazhuang's seriously oversized population, if according to the Yellow Book left by the Wei Command Envoy, the population of Jinshanli, Dongbaitali, Houmafangli, and Xinqueli is combined, and it is impossible to exceed 8,000 people.

But Wu Xiang let people privately calculate that the population of Weijiazhuang is more than 20,000!

With such a large population, and a large number of people from outside the country, it is difficult to manage them.

But Wei Bao can manage so many people in an orderly manner, and just being able to investigate, adjudicate, and judge cases is enough to show Wei Bao's talent.

This is what Wu Xiang values the most, none of his three sons have shown talent in this area.

Compared with force, compared with the poetry and books to be used in scientific research, Wu Xiang pays more attention to the ability of management, and his son-in-law of Wu Xiang, even if he has no power to restrain the chicken, even if he is ordinary, it doesn't matter, he can also get a steady stream of resources.

What's more, Wei Bao fought with Wu Sangui last time, and he has already shown that his martial arts skills are not bad, Wei Bao is already a talent, and in terms of fame, among the children of the Liaoxi family, he is already a leading figure, that is, the entire Liaoxi and Liaodong are combined, and the family has silver, and all kinds of martial arts, and management talents.

Wu Xiang really can't think of a second person, so this time Wu Xiang really wants to accept Wei Bao as a son-in-law.

It was precisely because Wu Sanfu saw this that he proposed this, wanting Wei Bao and Wu Xuexia to have more contact with each other, so that the two could 'fall in love for a long time'.

"Xuexia, will you and your brother play here for two more days?" Wu Xiang looked very democratic, and said with a smile: "You have been stuffed in the house for a long time, it is difficult to come out and walk around, Wei Gongzi is full of money, proficient in astronomy and geography, and it is good to have a long knowledge with him." ”

Wu Xuexia blushed with shame, obedient and obedient, and immediately understood that her father was already optimistic about Wei Bao, and remembered what her father had said about letting her choose a husband among the children of Liaodong in Liaoxi.

Wu Xuexia played with the corners of her clothes, not knowing how to answer.

Wei Bao is a smart person, he only listened to Wu Sanfu's proposal, and immediately understood what kind of medicine was sold in his friend's gourd, although he was grateful to Wu Sanfu for his attention to himself and his friendship.

Ordinary people don't know each other very well and appreciate each other, and they won't easily move their minds to help their sister pull the red line.

Everyone is a moon old matchmaker, are you going to be the rhythm of the old moon red brother?

However, Wei Bao was not very interested in Wu Sanfu's proposal, and he didn't have much contact with any woman Wu Xuexia.

Xu Rui, Wang Qiuya and Fan Xiaolin around him are not counted, they have all been by his side for a long time, and they have all booked the status of concubines.

Outside Weijiazhuang, Zhao Jinfeng and Sister Fang have been together for a short time every time, coming and going in a hurry, but they have never been able to get together for a long time.

But after having been in contact with Wu Xuexia so many times, Wei Bao has had an awkward relationship with Wu Xuexia almost every time, and he doesn't know whether it should be regarded as a mismatch or a really inappropriate personality.

Wei Bao feels that it should be regarded as a character that is really inappropriate, and the eight characters are estimated to be very compatible, because every time he meets Wu Xuexia, he has achieved good things, no matter whether Wu Xuexia plays a role in it or not, anyway, Zhongxiucai, Weijiazhuang, Wu Xuexia is present every time.

Wu Xuexia squirmed and didn't speak, peeked at Wei Bao, and saw Wei Bao's thoughtful look, she couldn't help but get angry, obviously, whether Wei Bao stayed with her or not was no longer a question of enthusiasm or not, but it didn't matter at all.

Wu Xuexia was about to decisively refuse, but Wu Sanfu smiled very happily: "Okay, okay, Dad, it's so decided, I promise to be optimistic about Xuexia and go back with Xuexia in a few days." ”

Wu Xiang nodded and said, "Okay then!" It just so happens that Lord Sun Chengzong is going to convene all kinds of officials in Shanhaiguan for several days, and my father will be busy for a while, so you can have fun here, don't make trouble, don't make trouble for Wei Gongzi. ”

Wu Xuexia was a little anxious to speak, her face turned even redder with shame, and she kept pouting. Big, bright eyes blinking constantly.
