It didn't take long for a group of people to kill Village Chief He's house, and shouted at the door: "Uncle Village Chief, you always hurry up and open the door, we have something to do with you!" Don't pretend you're not there, you know you're always at home! ”

Village Chief He was wearing a cotton jacket and counting the silver while roasting sweet potatoes at home, when he heard this deafening shout, he thought that the robbers had come to rob the silver, and he was so frightened that a piece of the broken silver in his hand fell.

Village Chief He hurriedly picked up the silver, wiped it and wiped it, and scolded in a low voice: "A group of shrews, one by one, want to scare the old man to death?" ”

Bang bang bang!

The sound of the door sounded again, and Village Chief He scolded again, and only after hiding the silver did he let He Tongsheng open the door.

As soon as the door opened, He Daqiao's daughter-in-law rushed in, and they all laughed so hard that the village chief He was furious: "Uncle, I heard that your family's grass was sold for nearly ten taels of silver?" ”

Village Chief He wanted to vomit blood: "Which Wang Ba calf is this rumor?" ”

Twenty taels and forty dollars turned into nearly ten taels of silver for him in a blink of an eye, which can really be pulled.

He Laoqiao's daughter-in-law is of high seniority, and she is also the eldest in this group of women, and she said this big thing casually on the road, afraid that Village Chief He would treat her for the crime of tongue, so she hurriedly cried: "Brother Village Chief, you can help us, you can't leave us alone when your family gets rich." Your nephew Dachai is still serving as a servant, and if he has money at home, he won't have to suffer from it. ”

After saying that, he immediately began to cry.

He Tongsheng squatted in the room and watched, but he didn't see the tears of Grandma Qiao.

After a while, the men in the village who got the news also came to the door, and after He Laoqiao scolded his wife a few words, he said to He Village Chief: "Village Chief, brother, we know that we are wrong, we shouldn't have laughed at you for planting grass before, and we should not have compensated my brother." But you are the head of the village and the head of the He family, and you have such a good thing in your hands to make money, you can't think about our He family. ”

The other men of the He family also said: "Yes, village chief, we know that we are wrong, we will definitely listen to you in the future, you can help us." ”

Village Chief He was waiting for them. Now he is also following Gu Jinli to learn shrewdness, and he did not let go immediately, but said embarrassedly: "Our family has signed a contract with the Gu family, but it is not good to take you with me." ”

"We can sign up too." He Daqiao's daughter-in-law said: "We all understand the rules of the Gu family, and we are willing to sign it." ”

Although the Gu family's contract is harsh, they can make money, and for the sake of silver, it is nothing to be subject to some constraints.

However, Village Chief He knows the temperament of the He family very well, and now that he is making money with red aphids, he naturally agrees to be happy, and after a few days, after the excitement, he will not pay attention to it.

The little fish girl said that aphids are medicinal materials, and the things of medicinal materials are related to human life, so they must be taken seriously and done finely, and they cannot be sloppy.

Therefore, Village Chief He was very embarrassed and said: "You go back first, I have to beg the Gu family for this matter, and I will give you an answer after a while." ”

He also explained: "You know the temper of the Gu family, if you want to make money from the Gu family, you have to be respectful, but don't go to the Gu family in private, if you annoy the Gu family and cut off the livelihood of the village, I will expel you from the village!" ”

After He Cui'er's family was expelled from the clan and driven out of the village, the He family already understood that Village Chief He was not scaring them, he really dared to do so, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, we are not a broken household like He Daqian and He Laosi, and we will not make trouble for the Gu family." ”

After Village Chief He sent them away, he put this matter down, thinking that he would wait for a month to grind the temper of the He family before talking about it.

The matter of Ming aphid grass is really noisy, and even Xu County Commander knows about it, and sighs: "This Gu family is really lucky, and you can sell it for money by planting grass, God." ”

Master Tian also nodded and said, "Indeed, those who can survive from the desert are all lucky." I heard that the aphid grass does not occupy the field, so it is planted in the open space behind the house, three harvests a year, He Village Chief's family planted 20 catties of grass seeds, and the harvest season is sold for two taels of silver. ”

Xu Xianling exclaimed: "Isn't that six taels of silver that year, it's really a good thing." ”

It's a pity that the grain tax can't be collected. Only those things that grow in the fields can be taxed, and those that grow in the open space in front of the door are not taxed.

But......

"Lord Zheng has earned it, this is a good political achievement."

Master Zheng is the new county magistrate of Tianfu County, and he is a side branch of the Zheng family in Jinling. The Zheng family was very optimistic about him, ran for him, and found the position of county magistrate of Tianfu County, so that he could pick up some credit, and he would come in two days.

However, Xu County's order will not be able to leave until after the year.

Zou Xiancheng's case was too big, and many things were not completely investigated, so the imperial court let Xu Xianling continue to stay, take Zheng Xianling, and wait for the Dali Temple in the capital to completely close the case, and cut down the people of Zou Xiancheng, Gao Tong, Gong Zhifu, Tan Zhifu and Ruyang Hou Mansion, and then let Xu Xian Ling go to Beijing.

Two days later, Zheng Xianling came with the three masters who accompanied him, several staff members, and a group of nurses.

As for the family members, they stayed in Jinling, temporarily lived in the courtyard of the Zheng family of the Yan Branch, and waited for Xu County to leave with their families, and then took them over.

"Lord Xu has worked hard, Zheng admires it, please accept Zheng's worship." As soon as Zheng County ordered the mule cart, he saluted Xu County's order.

The matter of Xu County's order, Zheng County's order was told by the Zheng family, and he had the courage to ask the Liang prefect to do the matter of encircling the water bandits, and he did it, which was really courageous and resourceful.

However, he didn't know that Xu Xianling was a cheat.

Xu Xianling was so frightened that he hurriedly went to help Zheng County: "What is Lord Zheng doing, we are at the same level, it is not good to do such a courtesy." ”

Zheng Xianling is a side branch of the Zheng family, and his background is much better than him, and Xu Xianling is a little stunned.

Zheng County Ling smiled meaningfully, shook his head and said, "The lord has been promoted, and the lower officials are here to congratulate the lord first." ”

Xu Xianling's eyes widened, are you coming? After waiting for almost ten years for a promotion, has it finally come?

Zheng County's order is backed by the Zheng family, and since he can say this, the appointment documents of the imperial court are almost there.

Sure enough, the next day, a group of people came to the Yamen of Fucheng and read out the new appointment of Xu County's order.

Gao was promoted, or promoted two levels in a row, and he was transferred to the capital, and he was directly an official in Beijing.

What does the appointment paper say?

It is said that he is wise and brave, has a plan to solve the case, is a rare genius, and is promoted to Dali Temple, and will enter Beijing before March of the next year.

Xu Xianling wants to cry, he is wise and brave, he has a plan to solve the case, and he is still a genius...... Is this talking about him? Why didn't he know he still had these skills?

…… He was a person who was pitted, thinking that he would be killed by a pit, but he didn't know what was going on and solved the case.

Is it too late for him to make things clear now?

The adult who came to read the appointment document also smiled and said: "Lord Xu, congratulations, you have been promoted two levels in a row and directly become a Beijing official, which has not happened for decades." You, you have fallen into the eyes of the adults in the capital. ”

Xu County Order: "......"

Ask the adults in the capital to kick him out of the eyes! He really can't do the work of solving the case, and he will lose his life.
