Chapter 164: Ulterior motives
Since star fruit dared to let Dong Shuhan check, he could naturally prove his innocence. If Dong Shuhan really wants to suppress Master Qin, he should be vague and finish hastily.
In this way, there is enough room for the imagination of the common people, and everyone's cognition and judgment of Master Qin will be more imaginative.
But Dong Shuhan actually agreed to investigate in detail!
He helped the star fruit to get up, and made a serious promise: "My father can't rub the sand in his eyes, and he hates arranging court officials for no reason." Since this happened under my nose today, it must be investigated in detail, otherwise how can we correct the atmosphere of our county? β
The word 'check' landed categorically, and the room full of people held their breath.
The files related to the Yang family were quickly retrieved, and the policies and rules of the time were also rummaged through. In comparison, the objects are complete, and there is no suspicion of going through the back door.
Looking at the time of the record, it is all the time period when Zhou County Commander was in office. Later, Qin Fuzi confirmed that there was no violation of the rules in the pickle shop, and the file also recorded the process clearly and clearly, and there was no suspicion of bending the law for personal gain.
Dong Shuhan threw the scroll on the officer, and scolded with a heavy face: "Tell me about it, what is the relationship between the girl of the Yang family and Master Qin?" β
The people who were sarcastic just now wanted to sneak away with guilt on their faces, but Dong Shuhan let the official close the door after he noticed it.
"Talking about and ridiculing the court officials for no reason, pouring dirty water on the good girl's house for no reason, exposing people's faces and bad reputations, how good are you going?" He slapped the table and said sonorously: "Let's wait, the matter is confirmed, and you can't escape the heavy punishment." β
The official was just jealous of Qiao An and Yang Chun's reuse of Master Qin, so he felt uncomfortable in his heart. Now that Master Qin has stepped down, and he heard that the Dong family and Master Qin are not in harmony, he put his heart on the star fruit shoes, and at the same time spread rumors and poured dirty water on the two of them.
He thought that even if he knew, he would ignore it, and that the enemy would bear the stigma, and he might be rewarded. Who knew that this eldest prince had a bag, and he held him and didn't let go.
Dong Shuhan waited for him for a long time and didn't wait for him to say that he was ugly, and frowned: "Since you can't say it, then you will be punished according to the reputation of a bad person, and you will be beaten out of the yamen with 20 boards, and you will not be hired again." β
He said and called someone in, but the official on the side did not dare to move: although the eldest prince is noble, no matter how valuable he is, he is only the son of the county order. Where do they dare to carry out such heavy punishments of beating officials and expelling people?
Seeing that everyone didn't move, Dong Shuhan also understood, and he smiled faintly and said disdainfully: "Do you think my father can tolerate such dirty things?" If the father comes, the punishment will only be heavier. β
He didn't force people to enforce it, but only let his scholar ask Dong County to come over: "Tell the master all the things here, and don't distort a sentence if you tell the truth." β
While waiting for the results, Dong Shuhan looked at the star fruit gently, and comforted him elegantly and politely: "Miss Yang, don't worry, the county government will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." The name of the daughter's family is the most precious, where can you suffer such humiliation in vain? β
Star fruit smiled lightly and bowed to the other party gratefully.
Dong Shu asked the star fruit to get up, and then the sharp gaze swept over the face of the person who chewed the root of the tongue one by one, although he didn't say anything clearly, but the cold gaze was enough to make people shudder.
Dong County's order came quickly, with a black face, and he saw the majesty.
As soon as he came, he repeated what the scholar had said, and then asked the officer, "Has he wronged you?" β
This posture frightened the officer's legs trembling, where did he still have the courage to quibble, just kowtow and beg for mercy: "The little one knows that he is wrong, beg the adults to bypass this suffering, and beg the adults to spare this suffering......"
"Spare a villain like you?" Dong Xianling kicked him down with a kick and scolded: "Fabricate slander and make a mess, if this official spares you, where will Lord Qin's reputation and official reputation survive?" He has been planning for the people of Liang County day and night, and in the end, he will let you wait for such slander? In the long run, all the bachelors in the world will have to chill. β
Without waiting for him to argue again, Dong County ordered the order: "Drag it down and beat it hard, and after hitting 30 boards, you will be sent home, and the county government will not hire you again." β
The guards hurriedly dragged this official down, and Dong County Ling was especially unrelieved, and then ordered: "Report the character of this person to the neighboring county government, and recommend not hiring." β
Just because of that sentence, ended up like this? The servant was not angry, he was dragged out of the distance by the guards and struggled and roared, and a pair of eyes stared at the star fruit in a daze, and the eye knife that shot out almost pierced the person.
The star fruit's heart trembled, and she knelt down and pleaded: "Please also ask the adults to calm their anger, but a few words of gossip, and it is just a matter of making each other clear and correcting their reputation." Thirty boards ......"
Before the star fruit finished speaking, Dong County's order had already been drunk: "Seeing the big from the small is no longer as simple as gossip." Master Qin was just too generous to condone such things that didn't know the height of the sky.
Now that this official is in power, he must have a clear atmosphere, and he can't tolerate these treacherous villains! β
He raised his hand to signal the star fruit to get up, and then began to land on the frightened people on the side: "It's also hateful for you to wait, don't punish you heavily." One person was rewarded with five boards, fined three taels of silver, and reported to the whole county. There will be a next time, the punishment will be doubled, and the shop will not have to be opened. β
There was a servant who came to carry it out, and for a while the crying and begging for mercy continued, and the star fruit was very unbearable.
But she was soft-spoken, and she couldn't ask for a result, so she simply stood aside and accepted the result calmly. Although the punishment is somewhat severe, it can be said that they are also to blame.
If you don't make a fuss like this, God knows what she and Master Qin will be like outside? Now that the world is rotten, and people's hearts are not ancient, they should really be treated well.
In this way, the first fire of Dong County's new official was burned here.
Taking advantage of this reason, Dong County ordered a major purge in the county government, and all the things that had been promoted and reused by Qin Fuzi in the past were cleaned up. Like the previous misconduct, the unreliable one is also not left.
Of course, that's all for later. At this time, Dong County's order was gone, and his face was relaxed, he looked at the star fruit with a humble face, first asked Master Qin how she was, and then asked her what was the matter with coming to the county office.
When he knew the rules of the new shop, he immediately gave an order: "Since the new one hasn't come down yet, then do it according to the old one." The people have no trivial matter, you and others cheer me up, and if the people complain that it is difficult to do things, you can go home and farm as soon as possible. β
With the express order of the county and the grandfather of Dong watching from the sidelines, no one dared to embarrass the star fruit, and the charter that usually takes two or three days to complete was all completed in less than one morning.
Carambola was in a hurry to send the charter to her brother-in-law, so she only thanked Dong Shuhan: "Thanks to my son today, the little girl has thanked her again." β
Dong Shuhan hurriedly wanted to help, and took care of the great defense of men and women, so he had to put away his hand and turn sideways to avoid the courtesy, and said humbly: "It is the duty of a scholar to maintain morality, not to mention that I am still the son of the county order family, so I should naturally lead by example, and I can't stand the girl's courtesy." β
"Childe is too modest!" Although star fruit does not know much about officialdom, it is not thorough about conspiracy. But Dong County Ling didn't really stand up for herself and Master Qin, she still understood, so she didn't have much gratitude, and only said dignifiedly: "I still have some chores to do, so I won't ......."
"I frightened the girl today, in order to apologize, I invite the girl to lunch, can you be shocked?"
The second half of the star fruit was said together with Dong Shuhan, and as soon as the words came out, both of them were a little surprised.
"The country girl will not be frightened by this matter, and the son does not need to be polite."
"It's lunch time, so no matter how busy you are, you have to eat, right?"
The voices of the two sounded at the same time, star fruit was embarrassed, but Dong Shuhan shook the folding fan and laughed: "We really have a tacit understanding." β
"I'm new to Liang County, and I'm very unfamiliar with Liang County, so how about the girl guide me to the place and bother to be a guide?" Perhaps because he was afraid that the star fruit would refuse again, he hurriedly instructed the scholar to go to the restaurant to order a private room for a seat, and then said to the star fruit: "The busier you are, the better you have to eat and take care of your body. β
After saying this, the star fruit seemed very ignorant if she refused again, so she had to smile lightly and said, "In this way, I will disturb the son." β
Carambola was defensive against Dong Shuhan, and she was very restrained in what she said and did. Dong Shuhan saw everything in his eyes, but he only smiled and said with a smile: "I'm not a tiger, what is Miss Yang afraid of me doing?" β
Star fruit only laughed and did not answer.
"Speaking of which, I'm going to the county school too. I heard that your brother is also in the county school, and we will be classmates in the future, don't forget to send me a copy of your pickles. β
Carambola still smiled, she thought about the methods used by the Guo family on Chunxiao, and said again: "My fiancΓ© Qiao An is also studying in the county, and he also likes to eat my family's pickles, so I often prepare them for him." If you want to eat it, just go to him at any time. β
Dong Shuhan looked at the star fruit fixedly, and suddenly opened the folding fan and laughed.
Carambola didn't know what he was laughing at, but she didn't ask, she just lowered her head and followed him, hoping that time would pass sooner and faster.
She just walked with her head down, but her waist was suddenly grabbed, and before she could struggle with the strength of the man's arm, she had already taken her around in a circle and avoided the side of the road.
Star fruit blushed and panicked. When he saw that it was Dong Shuhan who was insulting him, he raised his hand with a black face and was about to fan.
But his feet could stand firmly, and before his hand could fall, Dong Shuhan let go like a fire. At the same time, a young man subdued the mad dog, and immediately came over to apologize: "The girl is okay, my beast didn't hurt you, right?" Just now, it came straight to you with its big mouth open, but it scared Xiao Sheng. β
The people on the side also gathered around to be concerned, and they were obviously frightened by the mad dog.
Only then did the star fruit understand what was happening, and the hand she raised was very uncomfortable and put it back, blushing to indicate that she was fine.
Waiting for the young man to walk away with the dog, Dong Shuhan also apologized to the star fruit in a proper manner: "It happened suddenly, I called you twice and you didn't hear it, I offended the girl, and I ask the girl to forgive me." β
People were kind enough to save her, but she still had to raise her hand to beat people. Carambola felt uncomfortable, blushed and said, "It's time for me to thank my son." β
With the excuse of being frightened, the star fruit wanted to say goodbye to him and go back to rest. But before he could speak, Dong Shuhan had already taken the lead in walking forward: "If you want to thank you, you will give me two more glasses of water and wine in a while." β
Walking all the way to the restaurant, the road is not smooth. I don't know if the star fruit is in a trance, or Dong Shuhan is too careful. In short, he always has the opportunity to get close to star fruit. Either the farmer who pulled her sleeve to avoid the burden, or pulled her away from the sugar gourd carried by the vendor on the street......
But every time something happened, people apologized tightly, full of elegance. No matter how uncomfortable the star fruit is, I have to thank others for their kindness, where can I blame it?
"You, stupid and confused, no one by your side, I have to worry about you getting hurt." Dong Shuhan's eyes flashed with doting, and if he wanted to investigate it, he could only see that he was elegant and generous, and the previous sentence was just a joke.
Carambola was uncomfortable, and her face was red in embarrassment.
Qiao Jin and Qiao Xiu went into the city to buy things, and when they came out of the shop, they saw star fruit pulling with a man, and they saw her blushing face, and lowered her head in shame, and the little daughter followed the man into the restaurant.
