Chapter 47: Soberness

The celebration banquet of Sihailou is still the beginning of the unitary time, but this time at the banquet, Wu Fanhui has become the real protagonist, and his identity as the head of the county trial is not only to prove his ability, but also to become the pride of the Wu family.

The family finished eating, but it was still early.

Because there was almost no rest last night, Wu Qingchao asked Wu Fanhui to take a good rest, the last wine banquet in Sihailou, Wu Fanhui drank too much, after going home, Wang Hecui complained for a long time, in fact, Wu Qingchao was also distressed, but sometimes, the wine that a man should drink must be drunk, even if he is drunk, there is no way.

Today's banquet must not be simple, so Wu Fanhui has a good rest, nourishes his spirits, even if he drinks too much, the speed of recovery will be faster.

Wu Qingchao accompanied Wu Fanhui to the bedroom, and ordered a few words, saying that he would wake up when Shen Shi was coming, so that Wu Fanhui could rest at ease, and he was also going to the tent to have a look, which was going to go every day, and could not be delayed.

"Dad, sit down for a while, I have something to say."

Wu Qingchao looked at Wu Fanhui, a little strange, today is a happy day at home, why is Wu Fanhui's expression so serious, did he find something bad.

Seeing Wu Qingchao sit down silently, Wu Fanhui spoke.

"Dad, from the first month to the present, three months have passed, and it will be almost three months since you entered the family account, and the life of the family is getting better day by day, and I am also very happy, but I always feel that this is not so simple behind it."

Wu Qingchao frowned slightly, and then spoke.

"Qian Jue, you are not very old, don't think about so many things, I know what you mean, no matter what the patriarch and the elders in the family think, we are all members of the Wu family, and we should do something for the family, the patriarch expelled the Kuang family, and you care about your studies, we must know to be grateful, even if the family uses us sometimes, it doesn't matter."

A wry smile appeared on Wu Fanhui's face, he knew that Wu Qingchao had misunderstood what he meant.

"Dad, I have seen all these things that the family has done for our family, and today I am not talking about things within the family, but things involving families, I want to remind my father to be prepared."

"Qian Jue, say it quickly, I'll listen."

"Last year and the year before last, the county test heads, all of them are from the He family, I carefully looked at the list, the second place in the county test is also the son of the He family, and among the top ten, ******** one, one from the Liu family, one from the Wang family, and the remaining six people are all from the He family, and the twenty candidates who passed the county test, there are a total of ten people in the He family, which is enough to show that the He family has spent a lot of effort for the county test, don't they think about the county test first."

"I understand what you mean, in fact, the patriarch also thought of it, the He family will definitely not be convinced, but what can they do if they are not convinced, this is decided by the magistrate, can they still overthrow it."

"It's impossible to overthrow, it's very possible to do things behind your back, when the people who watched the list of the He family left in the morning, their faces were gloomy, and they looked at their father a few times, and I saw their dissatisfaction."

Wu Qingchao stood up with some anger.

"How about not being convinced, my family's Qian Jue has the ability, that is, he is stronger than them, Qian Jue, don't be afraid, I will tell the patriarch about this matter, the power of the He family is stronger than our Wu family, but they don't want to think about our Wu family casually."

"Dad, how could I be afraid, when the Kuang family was ready to cut off all the future of my father and me, I was not afraid, don't talk about the He family, in my eyes, the He family is nothing at all, don't look at their He family has three people, their strength is not so strong."

"Qian Jue, don't say that, the matter between the He family and the Wu family, don't think so much, study hard, prepare to take the government exam, if you pass the government exam, you are a child, even if you are a scholar."

Wu Fanhui empathized with Wu Qingchao's concern and anger, but he still shook his head gently.

"Dad, I can't stay out of the matter, sometimes it is not possible to rely entirely on the efforts of the family, we have to find a way ourselves, just say that this county test, I became the head of the county test, if the He family wants to calculate secretly, then the target must be me, the head of the county test, according to the rules, can pass the government test, but not necessarily in me, if I can't pass the government test, then the purpose of the He family has been achieved."

Wu Qingchao's eyes widened instantly.

"They dare, I fought with them."

"Dad, don't get excited, I think this matter is not as simple as we think, last year and the year before last, the county test heads, all of them are the children of the He family, for two consecutive years, none of the children of the Wu family passed the county test, it can be seen that the power of the He family is not ordinary, fight hard with them, there is no chance of winning, I am afraid it is just as they want."

Wu Qingchao's face gradually turned pale.

Wu Fanhui was keenly aware of this, and he also stood up.

"Dad, okay, what I just said is all my guess, maybe things won't come to that point, I'm just worried, when I have time, I will talk to the patriarch about these things, don't worry too much, I originally wanted to remind my father to pay attention, I didn't expect my father to be so excited, but it seems that I am not filial."

Wu Qingchao nodded sullenly.

"Also, it's a great thing, don't talk about it, you rest for a while, I'll wake you up when Shen Shi comes."

At three o'clock, Wu Qingchao and Wu Fanhui came to Sihai Tower.

It was still the housekeeper who was waiting outside, and after seeing Wu Qingchao and Wu Fanhui, the housekeeper greeted them.

This time, the housekeeper asked Wu Qingchao to go to the private room to sit first, but took Wu Fanhui to another private room.

Entering the private room, Wu Fanhui saw the patriarch Wu Mianqing who was contemplating.

"Qian Jue, congratulations on becoming the head of the county trial."

"Qian Jue thanks the patriarch for his care and support."

"Needless to say, these are all things that the family should do, they haven't done it before, so the family will gradually decline, I am very optimistic about you, I have become the head of the county trial, I am not complacent, I think of the trouble I am about to face."

Wu Mianqing's words suddenly changed, which made Wu Fanhui a little surprised, and he quickly thought that Wu Mianqing should know all the words he said to his father Wu Qingchao before.

"Patriarch, I just thought of this because I saw the people of the He family in the morning with a bad face."

"The troubles you think of do exist, hmph, last night, He Fangzhen, the patriarch of the He family, went to the county office, I am afraid that he went to visit the county magistrate, but unfortunately the head of the county trial is still you Qianjue, in this case, the He family will give up, that is a rare thing."

Wu Fanhui's mood instantly became a little heavy, he thought of the Tang monk in "Journey to the West" who went to the west to learn scriptures, and went through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties before he achieved the right result and obtained the true scriptures.

Wu Mianqing stood up and slowly paced around the room.

"Qian Jue, tell me, He Fangzhen went to meet the magistrate last night, he must have gone for the head of the county trial, but he was not able to do so, which shows that the magistrate is very optimistic about you, the power of the He family in this county is not ordinary, they will not give up, as you said, they are afraid that they will make a fuss during the government test, so what will they do, can the He family influence the actions of the prefect, this should be impossible."

A word instantly popped up in Wu Fanhui's mind: false accusation.

This is the favorite strategy of villains for thousands of years.

The power of the He family in Mizhi County is not ordinary, but if it is placed in Yan'an Mansion, it is not necessarily, and it is even more impossible to influence the prefect, how can a dignified court official be influenced by a certain family in the county.

In this case, false accusations are the best way, half-truths and half-false accusations are both secret and have extraordinary lethality, and the key is to make the other party unable to prevent it.

However, even if the He family adopts the method of false accusation, what kind of means will be adopted and from which aspect of false accusation, this is something that Wu Fanhui could not imagine.

Wu Fanhui also did not dare to conclude whether the He family would adopt the method of false accusation.

Seeing that Wu Fanhui did not speak, Wu Mianqing continued to speak.

"Qin Jue, there is one thing you may not know, the former magistrate of Mizhi County was forced to go to the post because he offended the He family."

"Patriarch, does the He family have such great ability, it is said that it is impossible for them to control the government office."

"They made it impossible for the magistrate to do things, it's as simple as that."

Wu Fanhui was a little shocked, but he still spoke unconsciously.

"Patriarch, Qian Jue thinks that it is impossible for the He family to continue to do this, they have already let the magistrate of the county for one term, if they let the magistrate of the county for another term to do the same, not only the prefect yamen, but I am afraid that the governor yamen and the political envoy will pay attention to it, at that time, not to mention one He family, even if it is ten He families, it will be difficult to maintain, Qian Jue thinks that the patriarch of the He family will not think of this."

"Qian Jue, what you said makes sense, I'm afraid that the magistrate also thought of this, so he insisted that you become the head of the county trial, it seems that the magistrate also has a big opinion on the He family."

A smile appeared on Wu Mianqing's face, but Wu Fanhui poured a basin of cold water.

"Patriarch, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, Qian Jue thinks that the He family will not do it against the county magistrate, in comparison, the Wu family is much easier to deal with, once the Wu family suffers a heavy blow, the face of the county magistrate is not good-looking, if the family can't support it, the magistrate may not come out, and at that time, the prestige of the He family is higher."

Wu Mianqing's smile quickly froze, and he couldn't help but gasp.
