Chapter 153: The county magistrate means to calm things down

Hong Tao drew a few green tiles again and smashed them with stones, and the quality was undoubtedly excellent.

He turned his head to look at everyone and said lightly: "Since you said that the quality of the Xi family's green tiles is poor, now you can see it clearly, the quality of their green tiles is absolutely superior, but you are full of slander, what is going on?" ”

Hong Tao has been handling cases for many years, and he has a big knife hanging from his waist, and his expression is serious when he asks questions with a calm face, which is very scary.

"This ...... This...... How good is that? ”

The people who were questioned hung their heads in a weak heart, and no one spoke for a while.

Tao Hui wrinkled his brows and said: "Today, we have all testified, there is no problem with the quality of Xijiaqing's tiles, but these people are looking for trouble and making trouble, there must be a big article, if you don't give an explanation, you will bring them all back to the county office, and let the county order be interrogated." ”

As soon as Tao Hui's words came out, everyone was frightened, and someone stood up tremblingly and said, "Master Guan, we didn't mean to find trouble, we really ...... There's really no way around it. Please also ask the official to give me a way to live! ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are so cowardly, why don't you want to think about your family? ”

Some people were anxious, some people stepped forward to admit their mistakes, and it was clear that they were instructed by someone, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.

Chi Xi took a step forward, looked at the people who were crying with snot and tears, and their eyes were desperate and scared, and said in a deep voice: "I told you a long time ago, if you tell the truth about any difficulties, I can not blame the past, but you just don't say anything, and now that you have alarmed the officials, you can only go to the county office." ”

As soon as Chi Xi's words came out, the people who had just been relieved hurriedly looked at Chi Xi and cried: "Mrs. Xi, we are all forced to come, if we don't come obediently, our whole family will have no way to live!" Please also ask Mrs. Xi to raise her noble hand, let us go, and spare our lives! ”

"Please also ask Mrs. Xi to raise your noble hand and spare our lives!"

Chi Xi's face was not good-looking, Hong Tao wrinkled his brows and said, "Mrs. Xi, they are all coerced, why don't you deal with it as appropriate, and give these poor people a way to live!" ”

The county commander gave him a breath, as long as the Xi family did not make a big deal about it, let him cooperate.

If you want to make a big fuss, let him persuade him.

Therefore, it is the best way to calm things down.

After all, the initiator can be regarded as the elder of the county commander, and he has also given a lot of benefits to the county magistrate over the years.

Chi Xi glanced at Hong Tao sideways, although his eyes were indifferent and he didn't say anything, Hong Tao still felt a sense of weakness.

He pursed his lips and coughed lightly: "Mrs. Xi, these people seem to be poor people, if they are not forced to do so, they will definitely not come to the door to find fault, Mrs. Xi has always been generous, why not show them the way and give them a chance to mend their ways!" ”

As soon as Hong Tao's words came out, the people who came to find fault seemed to see the dawn of hope, and begged for mercy from Chixi.

There are even people who have knelt on the ground, crying that they are suffering for their lives, forced by authority, even if they die, there is nothing they can do, but their families cannot suffer because of this.

Chi Xi listened to it with a pain in his brain, and also understood that Chen Daxiong's attitude was to calm things and try not to offend both sides.

She couldn't lose Chen Daxiong's face for the time being, so she could only take a step back.

"In that case, then you will make it clear what happened, and if it can be proved that you were forced to be driven, I can spare you once, but you must give me ten days to beat stones on the stone mountain, and have a long memory."

Chi Xi's words were like an amnesty order, and they hurriedly nodded their heads to express their gratitude.

Hong Tao breathed a sigh of relief almost inaudibly.

His selfishness is biased towards the Xi family, and he sincerely admires Mrs. Xi in his heart, she is obviously a weak woman, born in the countryside, but she is shrewd and decisive, kind and generous.

Even if her husband is not around, she can support the entire Xi family and make the business bigger and bigger.

In this entire county, there is no second woman with such courage.

And Master Jin, a philistine, is vicious and bullying. Relying on his daughter to be the favorite concubine of the county magistrate, he never took them seriously.

As soon as he went to the county office, he pointed fingers at them, and he was arrogant, as if this difference made them more able to show his dignity.

But after all, he is just a small official, and even if he has more selfishness, he can only obey the arrangement of the county commander.

"Mrs. Xi, we are all from Datong Town, and our family lives by renting Master Jin's field, if we don't listen to his orders to make trouble, he will take back the land and let our family starve to death."

One of them, an old man in his fifties, wiped his tears and wept: "My family is old and young, and all seven members of the family live by digging food in the soil. This time, if we confess Master Jin, how will we live in the future? ”

As soon as the old man's words came out, everyone wiped their tears, Chi Xi wrinkled his brows and pondered for a long time, and said lightly: "Since there is no way to live in Datong Town, then come to Dahe Village, my family lives a lot, as long as you work hard, you will never die of hunger." ”

As soon as Chi Xi's words came out, everyone raised their heads in shock, and the old man was shocked: "Really...... Can it really be? Mrs. Xi, are you really willing to give us a way to live? ”

Not only were the people of Datong Town stunned, but the villagers of Dahe Village were equally surprised.

Wang Dahu wrung his brows and said, "Sister-in-law, we have stopped working for a while, let them come to work, how to arrange it?" ”

There are as many as 15 people who are here today, and they all know in their hearts how much work they do.

The consequence of these people joining is that they will live less and earn less money.

The people of Dahe Village expressed their incomprehension and opposition, Chi Xi wrinkled his brows and waved his hand: "I let them come, it will not affect you, I will not hand over the work you are doing now to them, you can rest assured." I have made up my mind, and you don't need to say more. ”

As soon as Chi Xi's words came out, everyone couldn't guess what Chi Xi asked this group of people to do.

But since Chixi said that he would not compete with them, they were also a lot more down-to-earth, and the opposition gradually weakened.

Seeing this, the village chiefs of each village asked Chixi if they could let the people in the village come to Dahe Village to work.

Several Li Zheng also said that there are a lot of people in their families who are strong and hard-working, and they let Chixi also give a job.

Chi Xi said with a smile: "There are too many people working in our house, and no matter how many people there are, they may not be able to arrange it." But thanks to your help today, our Xi family is grateful, not as good as this...... Each person can recommend three people to come, and I will accept all the numbers, and no more will be enough. ”

When the village chief and Li Zheng heard Chi Xi say this, they were not disappointed, and said happily: "In this way, thank you Mrs. Xi." ”

"You're welcome, I'm just giving them a chance to work, and if they cheat and cheat, I won't keep them."

Chi Xi said the ugly words in front, and several village chiefs and Li Zheng expressed their understanding.
