Chapter 123: I'm Too Bad to Do It
Xu Yuanhui had to stand up, there were too many properties in this clan in the name of the patriarch of Xu Tianfu, and if it was confiscated, it would be a very big blow to the Xu family.
At this time, he only hated Xu Tianfu for being too domineering, he had not done anything good in the more than 20 years since he became the patriarch, as long as he was a clansman without a male in the family, he would take away his property as the patriarch.
Although on the surface, it is said that it is the public property of the clan, but in fact, it is all filled by him, and those clansmen have no power and no power in the clan, and they can't speak in the clan, not to mention that some don't know at all, and even if they do, there is no way.
can only follow the rules, take a small part every year to make a living, where do you dare to do it against the patriarch.
Liu is actually just a small piece of it, but he didn't expect that there had been no chaos in the past 20 years, but this time the new Zhizhou was arrested. It's just that this one is a mess again, and he doesn't look at the face of the local big clan at all, this time it's a big trouble!
Chu Xia looked at Xu Tong's judgment that was taken up, and said with a smile: "Xu Tongju, you don't have to praise this official, this is what this official should do, and it is not something worth saying." They are also your people, and the official can't bear to let you do a righteous act of destroying your relatives, so you can rest assured, if someone embarrasses you, and directly send someone to arrest them, the official will tell them not to scatter all their wealth and not return. ”
Xu Yuanhui's words in his stomach were all blocked in his mouth, he glanced at Xu Tianfu with an ugly face, and the people of the Xu family happened to also look at him, and now they can only pin their hopes on him.
"Xu Tong's sentence?" At this time, Chu Xia shouted with a smile.
"My lord, the lower official is fine." Xu Yuanhui quickly withdrew his gaze, bowed his head and didn't look at anyone, and sat back in the chair with his head bored, so that people couldn't see his face at this time.
Chu Xia didn't care what his mood was, he didn't need to deal with these petty officials at all, and it was enough to scare them by taking the ninth prince of the Chen Mansion out.
In addition to the emperor, this Dahao Dynasty is the most feared person in the official, and if you are unhappy, you can be thrown into a poor county infested with bandits.
Liu couldn't come back to her senses at all, but she was determined to be a widow for the Xu family for the rest of her life, just to keep it until the day her daughter got married. I didn't expect to be able to change my surname with my daughter now, although the property is gone, but the adult is still willing to reward two hundred taels of silver to live.
This time, my mother's family has a family to help, and two hundred taels of silver can be used to buy some fields, which can not only improve the life of the family, but also live a stable life.
"Lord Qingtian! My lord, you are really the master of the blue sky! She pounced and fell to the ground, and kept kowtowing, where is this official, it is simply a fairy child in the sky who came down to save people.
The people watching from the periphery of the yamen were stunned by this chaotic verdict, and they had never seen such an official trying a case. According to everyone's understanding, Liu's innocence is already the biggest joy, and then he will take the child back to Xu's house to spend his life.
Now not only is she innocent, but she can also take her children back to her parents' house and be a leisurely woman with money in hand. Without in-laws to serve, even this annoying husband's clan can be gotten rid of, and the envy of the onlookers is gone.
But the man didn't think so, whether it was a porter or a scholar, at this time, regardless of poverty or nobility, there was only one thought in his heart, thinking that Hongzhou had this official to end.
How can a widow take away the people of the Xu family, she is a member of the Xu family in life, and she is a ghost of the Xu family in death, and even that daughter is also a member of the Xu family. Even if there is no adulterer, but the belly pocket is a personal thing, and if it is taken out and shaken like this, it can be regarded as innocent.
was not ashamed to throw himself into the river, and kowtowed with a cheeky face to thank him, he must have been overjoyed to see that way, and he just wanted to hurry up and take two hundred taels of silver back to his parents' house to live a good life.
Bah!
Two hundred taels...... It's a bargain for this woman.
Chu Xia didn't like to listen to the Qingtian Lord the most, he patted the shocked wood to scare the kowtowing Liu to stop, and said angrily: "What kind of system is it to disturb the public court!" A fine of 100 taels of silver, and 20 taels of life is enough for your mother and daughter to live for a few years. The other eighty taels, write a note and send someone to send you twenty taels every year. ”
"Huh?" Liu Shi was stunned for a moment, and all the onlookers gasped, and the two hundred taels shrank instantly.
It's nice to say, it's hard to say when the other eighty taels will be able to get their hands on it, this official is simply not ordinary black!
The Xu family was also taken aback, they had seen a black-hearted official, but they had never seen an official with such a black heart and such a poisonous hand, this is too mad!
Liu was so sluggish at this time that he didn't have any expression at all, just swollen his forehead and was stupid, and was directly dragged to the side by Zhuang Rou.
"Quit." At the same time, Chu Xia stood up and swaggered towards the back hall with his hands behind his back, and the officials hurriedly knocked on the ground with their killing sticks and shouted: "Mighty ......"
The rest of the things were naturally supervised by the master, and Zhuang Rou pulled the Liu family, who had not yet come back to his senses, out of the lobby and went to his own courtyard.
Seeing her lost soul along the way, Zhuang Rou persuaded: "Don't worry, I will go to the adult and get your one hundred and eighty taels of silver back." If he doesn't give it, I'll sell you what he has. ”
She felt that the little county king was too much, and even the silver that the woman raised her daughter to live with had to be picked, she was really stingy and drank cold water, this kind of person would definitely be stoned to death by silver ingots.
When Liu heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "It's very different, thank you for your help." Lord Zhizhou has been very kind to my mother and daughter, and it is my greatest luck to be able to take my daughter back to my hometown. ”
"Besides, it's not that I don't give it, this silver saving is enough, and I can help others sew and mend it, and I can get by." She didn't dare to provoke Lord Zhizhou again, who knew what else he would do, such as not giving twenty taels, and throwing her back to the Xu family.
Seeing that she was very scared, Zhuang Rou responded and promised not to go to the little king. Liu went back with a thousand thanks, hugged his daughter and cried, telling her that she could go back to her grandmother's house together and would never be bullied again.
Zhuang Rou quietly withdrew, and went out of the courtyard to find the little county king, who was working in Qingfeng at this time.
This was originally the place where the Houtang Zhizhou office and the rest were made, and half of it was made out of the study by the previous Zhizhou. The word Qingfeng is also mentioned, which means the meaning of the breeze on both sleeves.
However, he was eventually exiled for his greed for ink, and this breeze became even more ridiculous.
"My lord, my subordinates ask to see me." Zhuang Rou casually reported, and walked into Qingfeng Ju as if no one was around, and didn't see anyone working at the desk, but saw Chu Xia lazily leaning on a chair and drinking iced soup to relieve the heat, and two officials with fans standing next to him were fanning him.
It's been a good day.
Seeing this matter again, Chu Xia put down the bowl and said casually: "I got an official document when I touched my bed in the middle of the night, why did you come to me if you didn't do this?" ”
The two officials who played the fan were a little embarrassed, although they had already guessed the relationship between the two, but they flirted directly in front of outsiders, this is the boss again, and it feels very bad to stand here.
But the two of them didn't dare to leave like this, so they had to continue to fan, silently remembering in their hearts that they were now deaf and blind, and they couldn't hear or see anything.
At this moment, they heard Lord Zhizhou say, "Give her the fan, and you can go out first." ”
The two hurriedly stuffed the fan to Zhuang Rou as if they had been amnestied, and quickly left Qingfeng Ju, not even staying in the courtyard, and retreated directly outside the courtyard gate.
Originally, Zhuang Rou wanted to come to Xingshi to ask about the guilt, how can you be a man who treats poor orphans and widows like this, but looking at the little county king's appearance of not getting oil and salt, she shook the fan in her hand and sat next to her, and said with a smile: "I don't have any money at hand, so I can't do anything when I go out." ”
"Really? I thought you had sold all my possessions, and were about to go out and gather the poor to make a fortune. Chu Xia glanced at her and said mockingly.
Zhuang Rou fanned hard, didn't answer his words, but said strangely: "My lord, your room is very stuffy." The meaning of the name Qingfeng is that I want to blow a gust of wind, but I didn't expect that your fine skin and tender meat can actually eat this bitterness. ”
"I know it's hot here, you don't fan me yet, what are you sitting on there!" Chu Xia scolded angrily, without any eyesight.
Zhuang Rou got up slowly, sat on the arm of the chair, leaned over to him, and said with a smile: "My lord, I have something I want to ask you for an idea." ”
A cool breeze slapped from her to Chu Xia's face, but he didn't smell any of it, but a woman didn't even smell of fat powder.
The incense is not fragrant, and you still learn from those women to seduce people, can anyone pose this pose?
He snorted and said, "They all want to sell the king's things on their own initiatives, and their guts are fat to the sky, what else do you want to ask me for my idea?" ”
Zhuang Rou fanned hard, and said with a smile: "My lord, then the Liu family took his daughter back, and only twenty taels of silver is too little." I heard that her mother's family is having a hard time now, but it is good to say that she also has business experience, as long as she has a little capital, not to mention being rich and expensive, but it should be no problem to make a living. ”
"Why don't you bring back the rest of the money with her. Two hundred taels is not enough for adults to make a pair of socks, so they should be rewarded. ”
Chu Xia tilted his head and looked at her with a smile, "You mean that this king is too unkind and took away the widow's silver?" If you think twenty taels are less, you will pay out of your own pocket, and you will give as much as you like. ”
This stingy man!
Zhuang Rou's fan hand stopped as soon as he could, and his face immediately changed, "Corrupt officials and traitors!" In the future, you will definitely marry a wicked woman, and go out to deceive all day long under your identity, causing public anger and finally becoming like this! ”
She viciously took the fan and gestured it around her neck, stood up and took away all the two fans, and didn't leave half of it to Chu Xia, it was hot to death!
As soon as he walked to the door, Chu Xia's lazy voice came from behind him, "Two hundred taels of silver was taken away by a widow, and someone robbed and killed you halfway, you are really kind, you don't have to do it yourself to kill people." Say, how much silver did the Xu family give you to do this murderous thing? ”
Zhuang Rou stopped at the door and reacted violently, this is a case judged in the court, and everyone has heard it. She looked back at Chu Xia, he could actually think of this......
Chu Xia smiled slightly, hooked his fingers, "Come here, fan this king." Maybe I will be happy for a while, and I will send them back to her mother's house, and use her money to buy her some land in the local area, and no matter how much Li is pressuring others, I will not dare to bully her as a widow who has been driven out of the clan. ”
"......" Zhuang Rou stared at him for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence, "My lord, you are really a good person who is duplicitous, in fact, you are very kind." ”
Chu Xia's triumphant face suddenly became very ugly, and he was so angry that he pointed at her and scolded: "You get out of here!" This king is a bad person, the kind that is too bad to work! ”
Seeing that he was in a hurry again, Zhuang Rou threw the fan into the house, and ran away as soon as he slipped away.
