281 Trying to get away with it

"What can I do in the end, the borrowing of money was voluntary by the Wen family's lady, not coerced, so the county government can't control this matter. Wen Xiucai's family couldn't afford to repay the loan shark, so they had to give the house to the creditor. Wen Xiucai was in a hurry and died of a violent illness. The Wen family lady moved to the land temple with Xiaoyingzi, and she could only rely on the Wen family lady to make some needlework for others on weekdays. Xue Yong said indignantly.

"What is all this for?" Su Hao asked.

Xue Yong said: "I didn't know what they were for, but later I heard that it was a Hong shopkeeper who opened a restaurant, who took a fancy to the land of Wen Xiucai's house and wanted to turn it down into a restaurant." After talking to Wen Xiucai a few times, Wen Xiucai deduced that it was an ancestral house and was unwilling to sell it. This shopkeeper Hong colluded with others to come to such a play. ”

"But...... The person who sued Wen Xiucai for stealing his family's belongings is a false accusation if there is no evidence. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, false accusations are to sit back. Cheng Yi questioned.

Xue Yong smiled bitterly: "People didn't tell Wen Xiucai for stealing, they just said that they lost something at home and asked the government to help check it." Wen Xiucai was brought into the county office, and he didn't go to court, and he didn't get beaten, so he only assisted in questioning the case, not the defendant, so the crime of false accusation could not be detained from the officer. ”

"What a deep calculation." Su Hao smiled coldly.

Judging from the situation introduced by Xue Yong, these people who harmed Wen Xiucai's family are very clear about the law, they have not done anything illegal from beginning to end, but they have really achieved their goal and pushed Wen Xiucai's family into the abyss of no return. In the middle, the Wen family's lady Peng did not understand the power of usury, and she was eager to save her husband and be deceived by others, which was a key part. But in detail, how many housewives like this can understand these things?

"Master Su, can you think of a way to avenge the Wen family?" Cheng Yi asked.

Su Hao shook his head. said: "Now that Wen Xiucai is dead, what's the point of not redressing grievances?" The Wen family lady will live in our house during this time, and when she recovers, she will be able to earn the rations of her mother and daughter by sewing clothes for the soldiers and doing some chores. We're going to investigate the case in Runing. It's far more complicated than that, and it's not worth exposing yourself prematurely for the sake of this unhurried case. ”

"But......" Cheng Yi was a little unwilling, when she heard Xue Yong tell the story of Wen Xiucai's family just now, she was so angry that she was about to run away, and she couldn't wait to immediately arrest and get rid of those bastards who joined forces to harm people.

Xue Yong persuaded: "Miss Cheng, don't be impatient. The villain felt that Master Su's idea was right. Back then, Cheng Tongju often taught us that if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and sometimes, you want to be caught and indulged. In the humble opinion of the villain, Lord Su did this in order to be able to dig out the people behind these people together. ”

Cheng Yi glanced at Su Hao. Seeing Su Hao's calm face, he understood that Xue Yong should be right. She saluted Su Hao and said, "That'...... It's Cheng Yi who is reckless, don't blame Master Su. ”

"It's okay, I just didn't know where to start." Su Hao comforted her.

After Xue Yong introduced the various bad deeds of the heroes of Runing Mansion, he got up and said goodbye. Su Hao made an appointment with him that he would go to Ruyang County to borrow someone from Tangzhi County the next day, and Xue Yong would be present at that time. and pretended to be like he had never met Su Hao. Tonight, Xue Yong also had to go to say hello to some of his trusted catchers and errands, so that he could take these people to Su Hao's banner tomorrow.

When Xue Yong left Su Mansion, Cheng Yi went out to see him off. When Cheng Yi sent Xue Yong to the door, Xue Yong suddenly whispered to Cheng Yi, "Miss, ...... you and this Lord Su"

"Uncle Xue, what are you talking about!" Cheng Yi reprimanded shyly and anxiously. Although Xue Yong didn't finish speaking, Cheng Yi couldn't hear what he wanted to say.

Xue Yong smiled slightly and said, "Miss." Since you call me uncle, then I will ask for a big one and persuade the young lady. It's easy to get priceless treasures, but it's hard to find a lover. The villain thinks that this Lord Su is young and promising, acts uprightly, and is a person who can be trusted. Don't miss it. ”

Cheng Yi shook his head and said, "Uncle Xue, don't say it, I'm just a bookkeeper under Master Su's account." Master Su has his own wife and concubine, I am much older than him, how can I have anything to do with him. ”

Xue Yong said: "The eldest lady is too worried, you are just delayed for the sake of Cheng Donggongzi, and you are not a person who can't get married." If an official like Master Su can take a fancy to you, you must not refuse. ”

"Uncle Xue, if you say this again, I will ignore you!" Cheng Yi pouted and said to Xue Yong with a feigned anger.

"Haha, the villain is abrupt, don't blame the eldest lady!" Xue Yong laughed, turned around and left.

Cheng Yi watched Xue Yong walk away, and then turned around and walked back slowly. When he walked into the yard, he was meeting Su Hao head-on. Su Hao asked casually, "Cheng Yi, did you send Xue Zhutou away?" ”

Cheng Yi was thinking about it, but she didn't notice Su Hao, and when she heard Su Hao speak, she was startled. raised his head, and before he could speak, his face heated up inexplicably. She sneered, "Uh, yes, I sent Uncle Xue away...... Master Su, I'll go see the Wen family's lady......"

After that, without waiting for Su Hao to say anything, Cheng Yi picked up the hem of her skirt and ran away quickly.

"What kind of fame is this old witch!" Su Hao scratched his head, puzzled.

The next day, Su Hao took a few personal soldiers and went to Ruyang County Ya and met Tang Chaoxuan, the magistrate of the county. Tang Chaoxuan had already met Su Hao on the first day, and he had also received instructions from the prefect Liu Qichang, asking him to provide Su Hao with all possible conveniences. After Su Hao saw Tang Chaoxuan, he first exchanged a few words of greeting, and then proposed that he hoped to borrow a few officials from the Ruyang County Ya to help him run errands, and the excuse he used was that he couldn't understand the Runing dialect, and it was very troublesome to even have breakfast.

"Who does Master Su want to use, just make it clear to the lower officials. Bachelor Su really can't look down on these servants of the lower officials, so let the lower officials be an entourage for Bachelor Su, which is also the glory of the lower officials. Tang Chaoxuan said flatteringly.

"Haha, Tang Zhixian laughed. Tang Zhi County is the parent official of a county, how dare Su Mou dare to work hard for Tang Zhi County's big thing. Su Hao said with a haha.

"The matter of Master Su is an envoy arranged by the imperial court, so it is naturally the most important. Let's talk about this official business in Ruyang County, even if the official business of the entire Runing Mansion is stopped, it is natural to help Bachelor Su run errands. Tang Chaoxuan became more and more energetic, and simply represented Liu Qichang.

Su Hao knew that if these officials wanted to pull up the egg, it would definitely be earth-shattering and crying, he didn't have the heart to deal with the other party, so he simply made a request: "Tang Zhixian, my matter is actually not so troublesome, just find a few people who are familiar with the local situation to help lead the way and ask questions." Do you think you can find the officials in your county government and let the officials pick a few to use? Tang Zhixian rest assured, the official is on an errand in Runing Mansion, more than half a year, less than two months, and when the official leaves, these officials will still return to Zhao. ”

"Well said, well said." Tang Chao chosen, "Since Bachelor Su has an order, then wait for the lower officials to gather all the officials for Bachelor Su to choose." ”

With an order, the officials in the Ruyang County Yali were all gathered, because the county government hall could not accommodate so many people, so everyone gathered in the empty field in front of the hall, waiting for Su Hao to pick people.

Because they were not familiar with Su Hao, they didn't know what this foreign official wanted to do, because all the officials had adopted a respectful and distant attitude towards Su Hao, and everyone stood in twos and threes, cowering, not daring to meet Su Hao's gaze.

In the crowd, Su Hao saw Xue Yong at a glance. Xue Yong, like the other officials, was calm and quiet, and did not deliberately express himself. However, as he himself said, he was the largest of all the officials, and he was a bit special in the crowd.

"This big guy is good, what's your name?" Su Hao seemed to be attracted by Xue Yong's size, and walked up to him and asked.

"Xue Yong." Xue Yong replied in a muffled voice.

"Tang Zhixian, are you willing to lend this big man to this official?" Su Hao asked Tang Chaoxuan who was following him with a smile.

Tang Chaoxuan didn't have a special impression of Xue Yong, and when he heard Su Hao say this, he immediately responded: "The person that Master Su fancies, the lower officials will naturally offer it with both hands." Xue Yong, you come out, for a period of time in the future, you will follow Master Su on an errand. ”

Xue Yong looked at Su Hao, then at Tang Chaoxuan, shook his head and said: "Tang Zhixian, you know, I still have an eighty-year-old mother in my family, and the nursing child ......."

"What does this have to do with letting you go on an errand for Master Su?" Tang Chaoxuan's eyes widened, "Xue Yong, let me tell you, it's your blessing that Master Su can take a fancy to you." Do you know who Mr. Su is? ”

"Then ......" Xue Yong didn't dare to speak, as if he was frightened by Su Hao's background.

"You follow this official, and this official will not treat you badly." Su Haoniu said to Xue Yong coaxingly.

"The villain obeys." Xue Yong pretended to be helpless and replied.

Su Hao nodded with satisfaction, and continued to walk forward with his hands behind his back, inspecting the ranks of the servants, while Xue Yong lowered his head and followed him. After taking two steps, Su Hao stopped in front of another officer, who also looked ordinary, but a small piece of white towel was clearly exposed on the cuffs.

"Follow me." Su Hao pointed at the man and said.

"The villain obeys!" The official also seemed to reluctantly agree, and walked out of the queue.

Su Hao walked all the way, calling out someone from the crowd from time to time. walked down in a circle, and behind him, including Xue Yong, there were a total of 8 officials. Su Hao smiled and said to Tang Chaoxuan: "Tang Zhixian, why don't you lend these 8 people to this official?" ”

"Absolutely." Tang Chaoxuan replied without hesitation. He found that the few people picked out by Su Hao were all people he didn't usually like very much, and since Su Hao was willing to borrow them, he couldn't ask for them. He just wondered a little, why did Su Hao just pick these people? Could it be that Su Hao would meet each other, and he would know that these people were all thorns in the Yali of Ruyang County?
