Chapter 205: Xue Dachuan
Everyone said that there was a capable person in the Shangxue family in Qianjiang County, on the edge of the inner city of Hangzhou.
This capable person is a son of the Xue family named Dachuan, who joined the army five years ago and made military achievements in Saibei. He was rewarded with countless gold and silver, and now he has returned to his hometown.
This is not enough, this person can be here, and generously donated a large sum of silver, saying that he would repair the ancestral hall of their Xue family's main sect. The Xue family was originally a big family with a head and a face in the county, and at least half of the people surnamed Xue in this county had to come from this clan, but it was a pity that the old patriarch was not doing well, and since he went, but the two generations of the Xue family have been scattered.
Now this Xue Dachuan Xue Gongzi has military merits, and he has come out of the silver to repair the ancestral hall. I also bought a piece of land in the county, and I found a few feng shui gentlemen to test it, and they all said that this is a feng shui treasure land for the top and prosperous descendants.
Xue Dachuan lost a few kilns of green tile bricks, and built a high-walled courtyard on top of that feng shui treasure. He also threatened to cover the courtyard as big as the land was.
On this day, Xue Dachuan killed a hundred chickens and a hundred ducks, bought a hundred baskets of fish, and brought more than a dozen pigs and a dozen sheep, saying that he wanted to worship his ancestors and put on a feast.
With his shouting, some of the families who didn't come to the door began to move. Especially those female dependents, they spontaneously got together, saying that he was a young man, and he didn't marry, how did he get these chickens, ducks and fish? What's more, a neat and tidy table has been set up!
So those female relatives of the same clan plus some warm-hearted neighbors and villagers rolled up their sleeves and volunteered to help Xue Dachuan set up the banquet. Some even brought half of the family's children over to do a rough job of adding firewood and splitting sticks and bones.
Xue Dachuan is also bold, only the pigs and sheep only need meat, and those internal organs are sent to the aunts, aunts, sisters-in-law, and neighbors to go home to add oil and water.
Most of the people in the Xue family of the same clan are from very poor families, and some of them are from generally poor families.
Hearing his words, all the ladies were happy, as the saying goes, the poorer the better, the more you can give birth, which mother-in-law here doesn't have a few greedy babies who have seen oil Xing'er's eyes shining.
With his words, everyone became more and more energetic and thoughtful, and it only came out in half a day, and some lazy ladies of the same clan also came over one after another with their shoes on their feet.
Xue Dachuan was not annoyed, and said that all the aunts, aunts and sisters-in-law who had been busy all day today, in addition to the offal that Fang just said, also divided a chicken and two fish, and the pig's head and sheep's head used by the clan were also taken one by one; After noon, the pigs, sheep, sticks and bones can be shared, and everyone has a share.
When he said this, everyone was convinced, and they only thought that he was a fair man.
"This Brother Chuan is too arrogant, we have more than 30 people, plus the lazy people who came at noon, there are also forty, those chicken and fish meat will be delivered?" The one-year-old woman smacked her tongue in surprise.
"Auntie, don't call Brother Chuan, Brother Chuan, I don't think he can keep a good life, and our entire clan will depend on him in the future!" A daughter-in-law next to her hurriedly said.
The ladies and their dependents were busy all day, and when the sun went down, they each took their good things and went home. When I go back, I have to talk about Xue Dachuan's ability in front of the boys.
Early in the morning of the second day, before dawn, all the women came to start the feast in full swing, and the men worked in the fields, the county worked, the small traders, the merchants, the large families, and the craftsmen...... Gu Du stopped his work and reunited in front of the newly renovated ancestral hall.
Looking at the majestic ancestral hall, some old people couldn't help but wipe away tears from their worn sleeves. This Xue family clan in the past, now it seems that it is going to be revived again!
On this day, Xue Dachuan changed out of the narrow-sleeved golden silk silk robe worn by the wanderers in the rivers and lakes worn by Su Ri, and changed into a straight-fitting gown with large sleeves and blue feather silk satin, standing in front of the ancestral hall, like a squire of the world.
He knelt in front of him, and everyone spontaneously knelt behind him, and bowed to the ancestral tablet. Everyone was silent, but the movements were uniform, and when they raised their heads, the brilliance in everyone's eyes was different.
It seems to see hope.
Xue Dachuan took everyone to visit the ancestral hall, held a banquet, and ate for three days. Then someone carried pigs and sheep and wine to visit the descendants of the previous patriarch and the magistrate of the county, and paid for the school to help the county build roads...... In less than ten days, the county official called him a brother and a brother, and the Xue family unanimously recommended him as the patriarch, but he resigned, and the county official asked him for instructions to make him the county governor.
The request document went to the Tongzhi in the government office, and the Tongzhi took it to find some cui, and she stamped it.
Tongzhi said that the seal was in her place, and Diancui was shocked that she didn't have a seal in her hand, and the adult took the seal away when he left.
Just when the two monks of Tongzhi and Diancuidu were confused, at this time, the elusive governor Lord Zhao happened to send someone to pass on the word.
Diancui broke away from everyone, rummaged in the bedroom, and finally found the prefect's seal in a box containing his own small clothes, and was immediately ashamed and afraid.
How could he put this seal in such a place, and when did he put it? Diancui stomped his foot fiercely, waiting for the flush on his face to disappear, and then carefully stamped the big seal on the paperwork, and carefully hid the seal.
This position of the governor with the seal of the prefect is more gold than the one on the side, and Xue Dachuan has been in the limelight in the county for a while.
At first, some of the individuals in his own clan wanted to buy land and open mountains, and those who had disputes in business and business, and those who were tenants and did not pay their wages, and they all came to him to be the master. He started to do things, but he was extremely fair and impartial, and gradually, in addition to the Xue family's own family, the people in the rest of the jurisdiction also came to him to do things.
There are probably more than 100 households under the jurisdiction of the lieutenant chief, and Xue Dachuan selected a few shrewd and somewhat wealthy people from among them, and the first county magistrate elected him as the new chief of security as his deputy director.
The previous chiefs and chiefs were all in vain, the officials at the top looked down on them, and the clans at the bottom refused to take care of them. Now that they have begun to pay attention to it from above, and some of the patriarchs within the clan are becoming more and more biased and only pay attention to the interests of his family, many people in it have begun to be dissatisfied, and they have begun to discuss with the elders when they encounter problems.
The chief Xue Dachuan has military merits and silver and is not a good stubble, and the patriarchs of those clans are angry in their hearts, but they dare not do anything to him.
The patriarchs of several major clans in Qianjiang County got together in one place, thinking about how to deal with this sudden Xue Dachuan, but they got the news that the patriarchs of several clans in the nearby counties were disposed of, and they were all traitors and criminals, and the evidence was conclusive, and the family property was confiscated in the prison on the spot.
This kind of news can spread faster and more shocking than the fact that the prefect has changed in the state capital.
"I heard that it was a big official from above, who made a secret visit and found out to their heads." If you really want to investigate, which of these big families is innocent?
"How did I hear that it was the current prefect who wanted to deal with our family, so he made a move?" A patriarch said.
Anyway, at this juncture, it was inconvenient for them to fight with Na Xue Dachuan again, so they had to wait and see what happened.
But who would have thought that at this time, something happened in a big family surnamed Ding.
This matter is a trivial matter according to normal times, but now it has become a difficult case, and the thing is like this:
The son of the old patriarch of the Ding family, because he is used to being an old man, is only seventeen or eighteen years old now, and he is a veteran of flowers. The thing happened that he seduced a woman from a good family, although according to his words, the woman was also an old girl who couldn't marry in love, so he only had the intention of having fun, and made the girl's belly bigger.
The girl went to Ding's house to seek justice, but she didn't even see the housewife, and was abused by the mother-in-law at the bottom and driven out. The girl's family was about to hang herself, but she was rescued by her family, and the fetus in her belly was also beaten. thought that it would stop like this, who said that the son of the Ding family remembered the good coming of this old girl at this time.
The two of them hooked up again, and took the girl along the Qiantang River to play on the painting boat in a few days, all the way out of Hangzhou Mansion, and sold the girl to a distant place, and got a few dollars and spent a few days in the local Qinglou, and then slipped back to his house in Qianjiang County.
The old girl's family is all crazy, although this family is not more powerful than the Ding family, but it is also a rich family on the edge of the Qiantang River, and gave birth to six or seven sons, only such a daughter, the baby stayed at home and stayed as an old girl......
This wilted man surnamed Ding didn't say anything about selling people, and went to provoke other girls from good families as usual. The old sons and mothers of his family all know his virtue, but they all turn a blind eye and are spoiled.
The girl's family finally inquired and said that her daughter was sold to Ren Yazi by this surnamed Ding, and Ren Yazi sold Ren Yazi to be a dark Chang, and within a few days, a good girl was gone.
If it was usually based on the power of the Ding family, the family would have to knock out their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, and now that there is a capable Xue Dachuan, the family has made a poisonous vow to return the life of the Ding family.
This Xue Dachuan also has a kind, after finding out the matter, he led people to break into the Ding Mansion and directly arrested the son to the county office.
I heard that it was the second day of public trial of the case.
The families and people of Qianjiang County have arrived, and they just want to see with their own eyes how the county magistrate should deal with this case.
The patriarch of the Nading family had already sent someone to make the silver, and the county order had always been to avoid inaction towards their big clan, this time he wanted to see if it was his Xue Dachuan's hard arms or his Ding family's thick thighs!
