Chapter 121: The Way of Greed
Chu Xia sat at the table in a dry underwear, his hair had been wiped, but it was messy like a pile of weeds, but it couldn't hide his appearance, and he was unexpectedly a little cute.
His eyes fell on the piece of paper in front of him, and the plum blossom script was written well, but he didn't want to read the content at all.
"My lord, can you stamp the official seal?" Zhuang Rou has been waiting for a long time, but she didn't expect it to be so troublesome to dress a big living person, but fortunately she didn't have to serve him all day.
Chu Xia looked up lazily and asked, "What is written on it?" ”
was really lazy to get home, Zhuang Rou flattened his mouth and read the words on it, afraid that he would not understand and disagree, and told all the ways to do it and the benefits inside. And reminded him that he didn't have to do anything, he could kill three birds with one stone, in addition to getting money, he also had good political achievements and reputation.
After yawning and listening to her for a long time, Chu Xia lowered his eyes and replied lazily: "It's too troublesome, I don't agree." ”
"Huh? Why, what do adults find bad? Zhuang Rou felt strange, isn't all this good?
Chu Xia clasped his hands and said seriously: "I am determined to be a corrupt official, if you do this, then I will not become a good official!" How can I go out with others when I go back to the capital in the future, and let those gentlemen know that they can't laugh at me! ”
Zhuang Rou looked at him stunned, what kind of reason is this, he actually wants to be a corrupt official?
She asked blankly: "What are you going to do, what are you going to do and listen to corrupt officials?" ”
When she asked like this, Chu Xia paused and said angrily: "Of course, you have to be greedy for money first!" I want to search for people's fat and ointment everywhere, and after filling my pockets, I will rob the people's daughters, and do all kinds of evil! ”
"That's right, I'm robbing the people here, and it's exactly what adults think. So, where is the official seal? Zhuang Rou didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, and asked bluntly.
Chu Xia tilted his head, his face was full of expressions of ignorance, "This king is not happy, and he will not give you an official seal if he puts it on his body." ”
"Put it on your body?" Zhuang Rou raised her eyebrows, stood up and clenched her fists in response, "My lord, I'm sorry." ”
Seeing her coming over with bad intentions, Chu Xia frowned and shouted, "What are you going to do!" Stop me, or I'll shout Xiao Ran! ”
"If you scream at your throat, no one will come, I can shout louder than you, they will think you are insulting me." Zhuang Rou smiled disappreciatively, reached out and grabbed Chu Xia's clothes, and searched him unscrupulously.
Chu Xia didn't expect this guy to leave the capital, and before he was under Zhuang Xuewen's eyelids, he became so lawless, and scolded angrily: "What are you touching!" I let you see it just now, where can I hide such a big official seal on my body, and I'm not welcome to take advantage of me again! ”
As soon as Zhuang Rou heard that it was right, she stopped, her eyes rolled around him, and she said to herself: "I didn't see clearly how hard you struggled just now, maybe you missed something." ”
"......" Chu Xia rolled his eyes at her, and his eyes glanced at the bed.
Without him opening his mouth, Zhuang Rou immediately threw him down, and a hungry dog pounced on the bed, lifted all the bedding, and threw it all over the ground.
Chu Xia watched her toss in her bed with disgust, and wanted to remind her that the official seal was in the drawer next to the bed, but after thinking about it, forget it, let her toss by herself.
Finally, Zhuang Rou clicked and didn't know which lock she had broken, holding a red box in her hand and said excitedly: "I found it, it's really tightly hidden." ”
Seeing that she had worked hard to find the official seal, Chu Xia refreshed her mind and said, "Don't mess around, I said I don't want to be a clean official, hurry up and put it back for me!" ”
"My lord, I'm doing this for your own good. It's okay to be a corrupt official if you want to do this, you can do it from somewhere else. Zhuang Roucai didn't care what official he wanted to be, ran to the table and opened the box, took out the official seal and sighed a few times, and snapped it on the paper.
She put the official seal back in the box, threw it into Chu Xia's arms, picked up the official document and folded it into her arms, and left without looking back.
Chu Xia sat pitifully at the table with the official seal in his arms, looked back at the messy bed, and shouted, "Come on, clean up!" ”
This time Xiao Ran and the others came, looking at the messy room, Mo Cong honestly said: "My lord, you guys are making too much trouble!" Sister Zhuang is really different from ordinary girls, this movement is a little amazing, congratulations to the adults for getting their wish. ”
Chu Xia looked at him dumbfounded with his mouth slightly open, "Who got his wish!" We didn't do anything, and you could have thought of her like that, and this king's vision is so bad? ”
"Your Excellency is angry, it's your subordinates who made a mistake." Mo Cong quickly admitted his mistake, but he didn't seem to be angry when he looked at the appearance of the little county king.
"That's it, it's just this king's beautiful man's plan, and you don't have to make a fuss. Clean up, this king is tired. Chu Xia yawned, this splashing water and tearing clothes was really tiring.
Xiao Ran saw that he was indeed fine, so he and Mo Cong quickly made the bed again. Although the two of them are guards, there is a little county king who doesn't like to carry a maid with him and can't do anything, and this kind of work has already been done skillfully.
After the bed was made, the two of them retreated, Chu Xia lay on the bed and remembered today's events, and couldn't help laughing, "What a disciple, I'm here to see how big a Lou Zi you can poke." He finally fell asleep, closed his eyes, and fell asleep quietly.
Early in the morning, Zhuang Rou got up early and wanted Niu Dayong to go out to inquire about Liu's character, and it would be ugly if there was an adulterer when he could save it.
Before she could go to find Niu Dayong, a handyman came to look for her, saying that the Xu family had come, and it was said that he had brought Liu's adulterer.
Unexpectedly, an adulterer was found overnight, Zhuang Rou immediately smiled, the Xu family really has a heart.
"I'll bring the Liu family with me." She answered, just turned around and wanted to go back to call Liu, after thinking about it, she turned back and stopped the handyman, "This big brother, you report this matter to Lord Zhizhou, the adult has just taken office, and it may not be necessary to try the case in person." If he didn't, he might think someone was trying to steal his power. ”
The miscellaneous servants didn't dare to slack off, these officials were fighting fiercely, and it was not for a small person like them to participate, so he hurriedly ran to the next door.
Zhuang Rou walked back to the courtyard, looked at Liu who was combing her daughter's hair, and said with a smile: "Let's go, the Xu family brought someone over and said it was yours." ”
There was a child who didn't say it directly, but Liu Shi still understood it immediately, her face suddenly changed greatly, and she was so pale that she hurriedly argued: "My lord, the woman has never done that kind of thing!" ”
"You will know it after the hall, you can rest assured, as long as you haven't done anything, then Lord Zhizhou will not wronged you." Zhuang Rou told her not to worry, "When the time comes, you just need to answer honestly if you ask, but if you have something to hide, don't blame me for not helping you." ”
Liu nodded in panic, and hurriedly tied up his daughter's hair, pulled her and said to Zhuang Rou: "My lord, can I let my daughter not go to the lobby?" ”
She lowered her head and pleaded, "I don't know what disgusting things will come out of that kind of place, so it's better not to see the child if he's too young." ”
Zhuang Rou understood what she meant, the Xu family had brought all the adulterers, and they must say something in the lobby that made the Liu family want to jump into the river.
No matter what the final outcome of this case is, letting my daughter hear those words and chew the root of her tongue again may make the child carry a heavy burden from an early age. There will also be a change in his views on his mother, which Liu does not want to see.
"Don't worry, I'll just find someone to watch her." Zhuang Rou responded, and after taking the two of them out of the hospital, she asked the rough envoy Yahuan in the courtyard of the small county to help watch the children, and told them to take care of them, and then took Liu to the restaurant.
Liu followed her tremblingly, but he didn't go to the lobby of the government office in front of him, so he looked over a little blankly.
Zhuang Rou said calmly: "Let the people of the Xu family wait longer, it is impossible for adults to try the case hungry, and we can't wait hungry, no matter those stupid people, we will go over when we are full of food and drink." ”
She didn't care so much, and only after taking the Xu family to eat in the restaurant did she slowly go to the lobby, and when she entered the door and looked inside, the little county king really hadn't come yet.
But there were already a lot of people waiting in the lobby, Xu Tongju and the people of the Xu family arrived early, and Ma Dezheng had been standing in the corner, waiting to see if there was any movement, and then hurried to report to Xiaojun Wang and Zhuang Rou.
Before Zhuang Rou could speak, the people of the Xu family glared at her viciously, if she hadn't saved the Liu family yesterday, where would there be such a thing now.
"Yan Niang, I'm here." A man who was as thin as a monkey with black eyes and a weak and obscene body stood up, his legs and feet were not easy to walk and he was limping, and shouted affectionately at Liu.
Liu Shi looked at him and was stunned, and suddenly his face turned blue with anger and scolded: "Xu Santian, what are you, shut up for me!" ”
Xu Santian shouted: "Yan Niang, you can rest assured." One person does things and one person does it, I won't leave you two and run away alone. Last night I confessed my mistake to the patriarch, and I am willing to scatter our wealth to provide for the clan, and I only want to marry you and go home. ”
"The patriarch has agreed to our marriage, and we will make amends to the adults, and after admitting our mistakes, we will go back, and the marriage will be completed in a few days." That Xu Sandian said with a hippie smile as if he hadn't heard the scolding.
Liu was so angry that he hid his face and scolded: "Phew! I won't marry you even if I die! ”
Xu Santian said with a smile: "Why should Yan Niang be duplicitous, we have already been husband and wife, and you are already my person." In the past, it was my bad that I didn't go to propose marriage earlier, which made you feel wronged. ”
Hearing this, Liu was so angry and ashamed that he almost fainted, pointing at him and couldn't even speak.
Zhuang Rou looked at Xu Santian and Xu Tianfu with a smug smile, snorted coldly and said, "Can you recognize your wife when you open your mouth?" ”
Xu Sanfu immediately took out an object from his arms, held it up and shouted in front of everyone: "I have evidence, this is a personal thing that Yan Niang personally gave me." ”
Afraid that others would not be able to see it clearly, he shook it off, and a belly pocket embroidered with mandarin ducks fell into the eyes of everyone.
When Liu Shi saw it, his eyes turned black with anger, and his body shook and he fainted, and was supported by Zhuang Rou.
"See, this is a personal thing that Yan Niang gave me, but I take it with me every day, which can prove the relationship between me and Yan Niang!" Xu Sanfu shouted triumphantly, then took it in front of his face and sniffed it fiercely, and then put it in his arms like a baby.
Zhuang Rou squinted her eyes and was about to speak, when a shout came from outside the door, "Welcome to your lord!" ”
With a light and crisp sound of wearing rings, Chu Xia, who was wearing a brand-new official uniform and had a lot of beaded rings and jade pendants hanging around his waist, walked in.
