Chapter 278: The Ugly Duckling

Children are better taught than younger children.

The earlier the initiation, the greater the possibility that the child will be successful in the future.

Jiang Long saw that the teaching ability of the selected school was good, and he took care of the county school very well, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

In Wangsha County, the elusive masked people did not accept it when they saw it, but made a fuss for nearly half a month.

It's just to leave quietly.

Pang Cheng'an was busy and worried, for fear that the punishment from above would be too heavy, and he might even take his official position.

It's just that in the past half a month, Pang Cheng'an's face was scorched, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression looked extremely tired, as if he was a few years older.

However, until a few days after the masked man left, the emperor still did not issue an edict to condemn the crime.

I just received a letter from Zhizhou Wenshang, and although the letter blamed him, he did not mention punishment.

At the end of the letter, there were a few words of relief.

And explain that the matter has passed, and there is no need to worry about it.

Pang Chengan only thought that the prince had said good things for him in front of the emperor, so he was even more loyal to the prince.

But he didn't know that after the Emperor of Lu Dao learned about what happened in Wangsha County, he angrily lifted the dragon case.

The imperial court sent a large number of military horses to suppress the bandits, but not only did it not succeed, but the mysterious horse bandits dared to jump out to retaliate afterwards!

What a daring!

This is almost going head-to-head with the court!

If it weren't for the scruples of bombs, the emperor would have ordered to gather the border troops and pull out a team of hundreds of thousands to go to Pingluo Mountain to destroy the mysterious horse bandits.

After the dragon case was lifted, although the emperor was angry, after calming down, he also understood that the scattered officers and soldiers in the local area alone could not help the mysterious horse bandits.

Coupled with the prince's plea, the old emperor did not issue an order to punish Pang Chengan.

However, although he couldn't handle the mysterious horse bandits, the old emperor hated Jiang Long even more.

I remembered that Lin Ya left the capital and returned to her parents' home.

I wanted to secretly do something and kill Lin Ya to relieve my sulk.

But thinking of the flawed poster of the mysterious horse bandits, the methods are ruthless, I am afraid that the old emperor will not be able to bear the serious consequences.

It wasn't until he read Wen Shang's letter that Pang Chengan breathed a long sigh of relief.

In the past few days, he has been so frightened that he can't even sleep well, for fear that he will be stripped of his official robe by the emperor's decree one day.

After the catastrophe, Pang Cheng was relieved and relaxed, a wave of sleepiness and exhaustion hit, and he simply stopped working today and went home to rest.

Jiang Qi doesn't have a hard enough backer, but he always has some ways.

In the end, it was just a few reprimands, and it was settled.

After sleeping for two days, Pang Chengan was relieved, and when he dealt with the excerpts played below, he learned that Jiang Long had beaten six officials in the county town to death with heavy punishment, and immediately ordered someone to find Peng Xi and inquire in detail.

Peng Xi's eyes were red, and she replied with tears in her eyes.

Between the words, it is natural to reverse black and white to refer to the deer as a horse.

Originally, he and the officials were greedy and wanted to rob and occupy the shops, but he said that several officials accidentally found that Jiang Long was not clean, and he was rampant and domineering in Lingtong County, and acted unfairly.

"Wei Yong and the others died so miserably, and they often used to be in the office, and they knew each other well, and they also knew that their life at home was not very good...... Although the lower officials did not have much money, they also sent a few taels of silver to each family...... When Xia Guan was in Lingtong County, he also wanted to seek justice for Wei Yong and others, but Lingtong County was Jingjianglong's territory, and the people who were frightened by his ruthless reputation didn't dare to tell the truth, but just sang praises for Jingjianglong...... "Speaking of the most reluctant, Peng Xi looked indignant.

Pang Cheng's face was pale, and he had fully believed Peng Xi's words.

Gritted his teeth and said: "Isn't there an official who dares to stand up and expose Jing Jianglong's crimes?" ”

"It's really Jingjiang Dragon is too big, no one dares to provoke it!" Peng Xi's words are in Pang Chengan's heart.

Not to mention the officials of Lingtong County, even Pang Chengan himself did not dare to dispose of Jiang Long at will.

Therefore, Pang Chengan has a deep understanding and believes in Peng Xi even more.

"Today's Lingtong County is completely controlled by Jingjianglong's palm, and other officials don't dare to disobey at all!" Peng Xi continued: "Xia Guan went to the county government and found that even if Jing Jianglong was not there, all the affairs in the county government were taken care of by a man surnamed Cheng.

And the man surnamed Cheng was brought by Jing Jianglong from the capital.

Jing Jianglong replaced the inspection of the inspection department with a henchman, and recruited many people, all of whom were handed over to a man surnamed He for training, and the man surnamed He also came from the capital.

There is also a ...... named Xiao Fan In short, everything in Lingtong County is completely in the hands of Jing Jianglong, who would dare to go against Jing Jianglong?

If you are not careful, it will be the end of your head falling to the ground!

Wei Yong and the others are also newcomers, and they don't know Jingjianglong's methods, so they folded in Lingtong County.

It was the lower officials who brought them there, but they couldn't avenge them! ”

Arrogance!

Stubborn!

Greedy!

Be on one's high horse!

Pang Chengan's impression of Jiang Long at this moment is extremely bad.

"Lingtong County Sect Commander Pan Wenchang was also involved, was stripped of his official robe by Jingjianglong, and the lower officials were worried that this person would not be allowed by Jingjianglong and would be accompanied by his life, so he took him to Wangsha City, if the adults don't believe it, you can call Pan Wenchang to ask."

"Okay, send someone to bring Pan Wenchang over." Pang Chengan responded.

Immediately, a servant went out, and after a while, he entered the room with Pan Wenchang.

Pan Wenchang now has no official position, so after seeing Pang Chengan, he immediately knelt down and saluted.

Pang Chengan saw that Pan Wenchang looked like a scholar, and he first had a good impression in his heart, and then although Pan Wenchang's words flickered, Pang Chengan did not doubt it, but Pan Wenchang was afraid of Jing Jianglong.

"The official has already understood what happened, so you should step down." Pang Cheng'an said softly and waved his hand.

Pan Wenchang exited the gate, a gust of wind blew, but he shivered in the hot weather.

The clothes on the back have been soaked in cold sweat for some time.

He simply followed Peng Xi to Wangsha City, hoping that Peng Xi could help find an errand to do.

But he didn't want Peng Xi to warn and threaten in private, let him help testify, and pour dirty water on Jiang Long.

Pan Wenchang was supposed to be unabiding, but now that he has no errands to do, his family has no financial resources, and there is no place to stay, if he doesn't agree, will the whole family starve to death on the streets?

Besides, if they don't agree, Peng Xi won't let them have a good time.

It can only be hard to come down.

lied before, and made several mistakes in his speech, so frightened that he thought Pang Chengan had heard it.

Call!

Pan Wen let out a long breath of turbidity, and finally passed this level.

When he returned to his temporary accommodation, no one came out to serve.

Pan Wenchang was furious in his heart, but the anger came and went quickly.

It turned out that Pan's wife found something to do, went to a rich family's house to do chores, and earned some wages to buy salt and grain, while her daughter Pan Enhui was taken to Peng's house by Peng Xi.

And Peng Xi has carefully explained that Pan Enhui will not be allowed to do housework in the future, and will be pampered like a daughter.

Pan Wenchang naturally did not dare to disagree.

Peng Mansion Houhua Courtyard.

Pan Enhui barely squeezed out a smile and stayed with Peng Xi's daughter, Peng Jie.

Peng Jie's eyes were cunning, and she suddenly threw the silk handkerchief in her hand into the lake.

Immediately, a maid scolded Pan Enhui: "Why don't you go and help the young lady pick up the silk handkerchief?" ”

Pan Enhui hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and went into the water with the hem of his skirt to pick up the silk handkerchief.

When Peng Jie saw it, she immediately bent down to pick up a stone and threw it into the lake, and a few maids helped, so the cold water splashed Pan Enhui's face all over her body.

Seeing Pan Enhui's embarrassed appearance, Peng Jie clapped her hands and giggled, while ordering a few maids to smash it faster.

Fortunately, the spa is not far away, only by the lake.

Pan Enhui stretched out his hand with difficulty, and the silk handkerchief entered his palm, and there was a silky feeling.

When will I be able to use such high-end silk as a veil?

At this time, a few stone-throwing maids shouted, "I don't look at my identity, I really think I'm an official lady!" ”

"It's just a poor girl!"

"How dare you be on an equal footing with Miss!"

"Black and ugly hairy girl!"

Pan Enhui's eyes were sour, and tears flowed down her eyes.

Peng Xi treated her well and made her commensurate with Peng Jie's sisters, but she didn't want Peng Jie to look down on her at all.

On the first day they met, they ridiculed her severely.

Pan Enhui, who was originally enthusiastic and happy and wanted to make good sisters and friends with Peng Jie, was like being poured a basin of cold water on his head.

Since then, Peng Jie has been bullying her for fun.

By the time Pan Enhui folded back, the dress was already half wet.

The dress is made of silk bought by Peng Xi when he was in Lingtong County, and it is the most beautiful skirt of Pan Enhui, and Pan Enhui cherishes it very much on weekdays.

At this time, looking at the dress, Pan Enhui was very distressed.

Peng Jie raised her chin at this time and saw Pan Enhui's expression, and was slightly stunned.

Before, she also thought that Pan Enhui was an ugly and ugly wild girl, but at this time, Pan Enhui's eyebrows were mixed with sorrow, but there was an extra kind of pitiful delicateness.

Peng Jie looked at Pan Enhui carefully, only to find that Pan Enhui's facial features were actually very good.

Before, it was because it was too dark and the skin was rough, so the advantages of the facial features were covered.

It is said that one white covers nine ugliness, and the white and tender skin can add color to the girl.

Even if her facial features are worse, she is still a beauty.

On the contrary, if the skin is rough and dark, then unless the facial features are quite beautiful, it will definitely still be an ugly girl.

Hum!

Finding that the little sister her father helped find was beautiful, Peng Jie was not only unhappy, but even more angry.

Because she herself is really not outstanding.

So from that day on, Pan Enhui had one more punishment, that is, standing in the courtyard against the sun.

Peng Jie wants to make Pan Enhui a black and ugly wild girl all the time!

Never try to overtake her.

It wasn't until a few days later that Peng Xi saw that Pan Enhui's skin had not turned white, and wondered in his heart that he knew the reason.

Peng Xi accepted Pan Enhui as his goddaughter, and he didn't have any good ideas at all.

It is nothing more than pampering Pan Enhui, teaching him some etiquette, and waiting for Pan Enhui's skin to turn white and become beautiful before sending him to be a concubine, so as to have a good relationship with the officials above.

Pan Enhui is a southerner, petite and exquisite, with a small jasper, and her facial features are really good.

This kind of little beauty is still very popular in the north.

Don't worry about not being able to send it away.

Peng Xi has her own purpose, so naturally she can't let her daughter mess around, but she just made another arrangement for Pan Enhui, and she didn't say anything to blame her daughter.

Not to mention the punishment.
