Congratulations between the five major families in the county, this is not an uncommon thing, last year and the year before last, the children of the He family became the head of the county trial, and other families also sent people to congratulate, including the Wu family, and also sent people to congratulate, but the patriarch of the family came to celebrate in person, and he was the patriarch of the He family, the most powerful of the five major families, and also brought the youngest son with a talent and fame, which is somewhat interesting.

He Fangzhen and He Luoxuan came directly to Wu Fanhui's home.

The gifts brought were also expensive, two stones of millet, one stone of flour, and five taels of silver.

The long-term famine has caused the price of grain in Mizhi County to soar, and the price of millet has risen to six taels of silver and one stone, and flour has doubled compared with the price of last year, and it is said that the price will rise.

The congratulatory gift brought by He Fangzhen exceeded twenty taels of silver.

is so generous, he is worthy of being the patriarch of the He family.

He Fangzhen was not high-profile, and first sent someone to report, and when he learned that Wu Fanhui was at home, he came over immediately without delaying a little time.

Wu Qingchao and Wu Fanhui were both waiting at home, and they came to congratulate each other and must be treated with courtesy.

Wu Qingchao was going to report to the patriarch, but Wu Fanhui thought it was unnecessary, since He Fangzhen did not plan to trouble Wu Mianqing, it showed that he had his own ideas, otherwise he could send someone to inform Wu Mianqing.

Wu Qingchao and Wu Fanhui were both standing outside the gate, and when they saw He Fangzhen for the first time, a glimmer of light burst out of Wu Fanhui's eyes.

He Fang Zhennian is nearly seventy years old, the person raised during the Wanli period, has been an official for many years, although he has been in the position of the county Cheng, but he has also accumulated a certain amount of official authority, after returning to Mizhi County, he served as the patriarch of the He family, and it has been close to ten years in a blink of an eye, it may be that he has been in the position of a decision-maker for a long time, and he has a momentum of not being angry and self-authoritative, especially his eyes, which always look smiling on the surface, but as long as you pay attention, you can detect the cold side.

Ci is not in charge of the army, and the same is true in the family, if you don't have the ability, you can't control the big family.

Wu Fanhui then noticed He Luoxuan, He Luoxuan's temperament was quite calm, and he also had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, and he paid attention to the situation around him.

"This is Wu Fanhui, the old man can see it at a glance, he is worthy of being the head of the county trial case."

"Qian Jue has met Patriarch He, met Patriarch He, Patriarch He and Patriarch He made a special trip to come today, and Qianjue expressed his deep gratitude on behalf of his parents and family."

"Where, Qian Jue is polite, the five major families in the county are one, everyone has to come to congratulate when there is a happy event, the old man heard that Qian Jue knows the overall situation, mature and steady, I saw it today, and it was really so, I admired and admired."

He Fangzhen is famous, and he is nearly seventy years old, in front of a junior like Wu Fanhui, he always praises constantly, and it can even be said that he wears a high hat.

It's a pity that Wu Fanhui is not an ordinary teenager, his face is calm, smiling, and polite.

"Patriarch He has won the award, Qian Jue is just a fluke, to be able to become the head of the county trial, you still need to continue to work hard, Patriarch He is Qian Jue's elder, if you think that Qian Jue has done anything bad, open your mouth to reprimand it, Qian Jue must accept it with an open mind."

He Fangzhen paused a little and laughed.

"Qian Jue is really modest, so the old man congratulates Qian Jue, the government test high school."

"Qian Jue is grateful to Patriarch He for his encouragement, and Qian Jue will work hard to live up to Patriarch He's expectations."

He Fangzhen paused again, still laughing.

Wu Fanhui's face was still calm.

Wu Qingchao stood aside, holding the gift slip handed over by He Fangzhen in his hand, and never spoke, and similarly, He Luoxuan stood behind He Fangzhen and did not speak, but his eyes kept looking at Wu Fanhui.

He Fangzhen did not stay for a long time, entered the house, only sat in the hall for a while, and got up to say goodbye in less than a quarter of an hour, when he was in the hall, Wu Qingchao sat on He Fangzhen's right, He Luoxuan sat on He Fangzhen's left, Wu Fanhui stood next to Wu Qingchao, during this period, He Fangzhen mainly spoke, mostly encouraging Wu Fanhui's words.

If you don't know your identity, outsiders see such a scene and think that the elders are encouraging the younger generations and express sincere congratulations to the promising juniors.

After He Fangzhen and He Luo announced their resignations, in less than a quarter of an hour, Wu Mianqing came to the house, he asked every word He Fangzhen said, and the gift He Fangzhen sent, he also looked at it carefully, and fell into a short contemplation.

Back at the mansion, He Fangzhen's expression became gloomy.

He Luoxuan followed into the lobby.

He Mingxuan is He Fangzhen's youngest son, the word Huaiyu, twenty-seven years old, dignified, He Fangzhen has a son in his old age, and he attaches great importance to He Fangxuan, although He Luoxuan is not a descendant, but he still strives to cultivate, He Luoxuan Tianqi seven-year college examination high school, with the identity of Xiucai, his status in the He family is becoming more and more unusual.

He Fangzhen's original wife has passed away, and his son and daughter are too ordinary, which makes him very disappointed, although He Luoxuan only achieved the fame of Xiucai in his twenties, but his status in the family is already very high.

He Fangzhen had high hopes for He Luoxuan, hoping that he would be able to take the township test for high school, but he didn't dare to guarantee it, after all, he knew the harshness of the township test, the big and small things in the family, and if possible, he discussed it with He Luoxuan, He Fangzhen knew that he was old, and he might leave one day, so he had to arrange everything in the family, and if possible, let He Luoxuan take over as the patriarch of the He family.

The He family's power in Mizhi County is getting bigger and bigger, He Fangzhen didn't have much to worry about, among the five major families, only Liu Shijie, the leader of the Liu family, stayed in the county, He Fangzhen is familiar with Liu Shijie, a typical nerd, doesn't care about the big and small matters in the family, he is studying all day, and he will go to the third exam after two years, and it is estimated that there is no hope, so from the current development prospects, the remaining four families will move from the position of foil to the final decline.

But what happened in the first month of the year made He Fangzhen feel uneasy, Wu Mianqing, the leader of the Wu family, came back, and Zhishi became the patriarch of the family again, this Wu Mianqing is not so simple, it looks very simple on the surface, and he knows it in his heart.

He Luoxuan was by no means Wu Mianqing's opponent.

The older a person gets, the more things he thinks about, He Fangzhen always wants to do everything well, and even arrange the things for a few years after him, he also knows that there is almost no such possibility, but it is difficult to control his thoughts.

Wu Mianqing became the patriarch of the Wu family, He Fangzhen felt uneasy, and Wu Fanhui, a son of the Wu family, became the head of the county trial, which made He Fangzhen unable to sleep and eat, and he sensed a huge danger.

The danger must be nipped in the bud.

At this time, Lu Weibiao, the magistrate, also changed his attitude, and he was also a little dissatisfied with the He family.

He Fangzhen planned to do it, and because of this, he decided to meet the head of the county trial in person.

I don't know why, after returning to the mansion, Wu Fanhui's figure was always circling in his mind, especially Wu Fanhui's unfathomable eyes.

With decades of accumulated experience, He Fangzhen believes that this Wu Fanhui is not simple.

This personal visit prompted He Fangzhen to make up his mind to do it, he must destroy all the hopes of the rise of the Wu family, and it is best to let the Wu family be completely eliminated.

The two core figures of the Wu family, one is the patriarch Wu Mianqing, and the other is Wu Fanhui, the head of the county trial case, and the rest of the people are not worried.

"Huaiyu, what do you think of that Wu Fanhui."

"Father, the child thinks that this Wu Fanhui is not simple, but at the age of fourteen, he is very calm in receiving people and things, and the child doesn't understand how he tempered it."

"Well, this is exactly what I'm worried about, no matter how this Wu Fanhui is tempered, over time, this kid will definitely do a lot, I'm old, and I don't know when I'll leave, the He family needs to continue to maintain, your two uncles are both officials in other places, and it is impossible to come back in a short time, I originally planned to let you inherit the family business, but now I have a lot of worries, the patriarch of the Wu family, Wu Mianqing, is not simple, plus this Wu Fanhui, how many years will not be, this Mizhi County is not the world of their Wu family."

"Father, the child is not afraid of the Wu family."

He Fangzhen looked at He Luoxuan, there was obvious dissatisfaction in his eyes, young people must have self-esteem and are unwilling to show weakness, this is normal, but today is a conversation between father and son, self-esteem must be put aside, and reality must be faced.

"Huaiyu, I often say, everyone must be self-aware, next year you have to take the township exam, if you can go to high school, it will be the biggest joy of the family, then I can rest assured, but the danger of the family is approaching, we must deal with it well, today I take you there, just want you to see that Wu Fanhui, now I ask you, you said this Wu Fanhui, is it worth our hands."

"Daddy, the kid thinks it's worth doing."

"Very well, you are still self-aware."

He Fangzhen pondered for a while and spoke again.

"Huaiyu, how should you do it, you also think about it, it is not possible to deal with the Wu family openly now, if the county magistrate comes forward to defend it, my He family will suffer losses, we must think of a good way to make the magistrate unable to make a move, and the Wu family will not be able to deal with it."

After He Luo saluted, he left the lobby, leaving He Fangzhen to ponder alone.

After about a quarter of an hour, a smile appeared on He Fangzhen's face, and his face softened a lot.
