Chapter 2 To be a son-in-law
"Okay, cut ......"
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, there is a messenger from the Governor's Mansion who wants to see you. ”
Before he threw away the arrow in his hand, a famous catcher ran over and whispered to Hua Bo'an's side, after listening to Hua Bo'an's deep breath, his face showed impatience, just thinking about finishing the matter in front of him first, he wanted to throw out the arrow in his hand, and he brought over the sedan chair.
"Well, I thought about going back to the yamen to meet me, but I took the initiative to find it. ”
Hua Bo'an temporarily threw the arrow back into the bamboo tube and went up to greet him, the sedan curtain was opened, and a man about fifty years old came out of it, dressed in a luxurious long robe, with high cheekbones, a wide and long face, and a graceful appearance.
"Steward Su, long time no see, long time no see, I was just about to go to the county government to prepare, planning to meet ......"
"Well, it doesn't have to be. ”
The Steward Su in the mouth of the Huajun official interrupted with a wave of his hand, and said, "I'm just here to pass on a word, the governor needs to select a person with both morality, wisdom and beauty in your Yunhai County to be the son-in-law, prepare as soon as possible, the day after tomorrow is a good day and an auspicious day, don't delay more." ”
"Ahh
"Okay, I still have to go and buy some goods, I heard that your ingredients in Yunhai County are good, so I will buy some by the way." ”
"Steward Su, wait a minute, and when I finish the business at hand, I will set up a banquet to entertain you. ”
"No, no, don't dare to disturb Lord Hua's office, and say goodbye first. ”
The governor's mansion Su steward sat back in the sedan chair, the four of them carried the sedan chair away, Hua Bo'an stood in place, inevitably mixed tastes, he was a dignified county official, and after a few years of hard work in the cold window, he finally got the title of the gold list to get official duties, and now in Yunhai County, when he saw Su Ruhai, the housekeeper of the governor's mansion, he had to greet him with a smile. Angrily returned to the bottom of the shed, pulled out an arrow from the bamboo tube, intending to vent his anger on Xu Mo, and was about to throw it out, he calmed down for a moment for no reason, his eyes were stunned and turned back and forth, and said, "Take the prisoner in custody first." ”
"Ah, receive... Detain. ”
"Yes!"
The people in the yamen didn't understand Hua Bo'an's decision, and took Xu Mo back to the prison with doubts, and there were not many onlookers, and when they saw that the prisoner who was about to hit the ground was taken back to the prison, he turned around and went home with a bit of disappointment, leaving only the woman who wanted to dip her head in blood to treat her husband, squatting there with some inexplicable loss.
Back at the county office, the county ordered Hua Bo'an to dismiss all the fast arrest foremen, and only talk to Sun Zhushu in the court, Sun Zhushu frowned, and did not understand why Hua Bo'an, who had always been willing to release people only after receiving benefits, would terminate the execution and change the sentence to temporary detention.
"Xiaojie, do you know why I want to change the sentence to this person and take him into temporary custody?"
Hua Bo'an said with his hands behind his back.
Master Sun, surnamed Sun Xiaojie.
He only shook his head and did not speak.
County official Hua Bo'an said, "The governor ordered me to choose a son-in-law for him in Yunhai County, which should be a good thing, if it is according to the normal situation, I would like to let my son do it, however, the rumors about his daughter have been spreading, you think, the daughter of the governor of the dignified state, there should have been many people to admire, but now he asked the official to choose a son-in-law for him in Yunhai County." ”
Sun Xiaojie seemed to think about it and said, "Hey, I heard that his daughter is a talented woman, and she is still beautiful, but unfortunately, it is Kefu, in just half a year, six husbands have been killed, it is really ...... Alas!"
Hua Bo'an nodded and said, "Why is Changqing Prefecture divided into four counties, the first six husbands are all from the other three counties, and now he asked me to choose a son-in-law for him in this county, it is nothing more than that I think that the people in this county should not be too evasive, but this county is the most serious to talk about this matter, and the day after tomorrow I have to find someone to marry his daughter." ”
"Even if the master finds it, that person may not want to marry!"
Sun Xiaojie instantly figured out something, and his face was swept away with sadness, and he said, "So, so the master wants that death row prisoner to be Governor Xiao's son-in-law?"
"That's right!" Hua Bo'an nodded, "At the beginning, he committed a crime in our Yunhai County, so I was only admitted to prison, and I am not from my county, and I should not know anything about the governor's daughter Kefuzhi, so he is the best candidate." ”
If Hua Bo'an really chooses a son-in-law locally, who knows the real situation is willing to go, and the woman who kills six husbands will be spared, will the seventh be spared? Moreover, Hua Bo'an is sure that even if Xu Mo learns the real situation, he will be dead, and he can still be happy and romantic for a few nights if he goes to be the son-in-law of the governor, so what reason is there to refuse.
Sun Xiaojie thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "But master, when we arrested him, he was stupid and stupid, and he didn't even know what he was called, can he do it?"
"It's better not to know, pass it to the lobby, I'll talk to him first. ”
"Yes. ”
Before he squatted in prison, Xu Mo was hurriedly summoned to the public court, which was a bit rare and quiet compared to the noisy atmosphere when the case was tried on weekdays.
The county official Hua Bo'an sat in the main hall, but he didn't embarrass Xu Mo much, prepared a stool for him, and was sitting in the center of the hall.
"Do you know what your name is, and where you live? ”
Hua Bo'an started with the basic question, when he led the head catcher to the scene in person, and saw the young man in front of him kill a girl with a long sword, so he arrested him and took it to the county government for trial, but he actually lost his memory and didn't know anything, so Hua Bo'an asked this question, so he felt that it was safest to let Xu Mo go.
Xu Mo shook his head and nodded, he couldn't figure out what medicine he bought in the gourd, but no matter what the name or surname of the main owner of the body was, now, he could only be surnamed Xu.
Xu Mo finally nodded in affirmation, "My lord, I only remember that my name is Xu Mo, and I don't know anything else." ”
"Xu Mo, then the official asked you at that time, why did you pretend to be crazy and stupid?"
"At that time, I didn't cross over at the time, and the devil knows how he answered!"
After a few words in his heart, Xu Mo smiled and said, "My lord, I was also on the guillotine, I was so nervous, I suddenly remembered." ”
"What else can you remember?"
Xu Mo scratched his head and thought hard, "I can't think of the rest." ”
"I can't think of the best, Xu Mo, listen, you kill people and rob money, and you may also be suspected of robbing sex, these are all seen by this official with his own eyes, and he should be beheaded, but God has the virtue of a good life, I will give you a chance to live." ”
Hua Bo'an said while drinking tea, just put down the teacup, and inadvertently focused on Xu Mo's outfit at this time, shook his head and said with disgust, "We'll talk about it later, you go and dress up first!"
The county official Hua Bo'an arranged four maids to bathe and change clothes for Xu Mo, all of them were in shape, slim and elegant, in the 21st century, they were all the best materials in the beauty pageant, no matter how the flower family said it was the county government, the conditions were not much worse, there was a special bath, lying in the bath, Xu Mo was leisurely and contented, and enjoyed it very much, at first the four maids stood next to him, he felt a little uncomfortable, and his movements were inevitably restrained, and now, he was completely free of himself.
Humming a little tune and eating grapes, the beauty is incredible.
Recalling the identity of the prisoner who just arrived and the tragic experience of almost being beheaded, compared with today's bath, Xu Mo wants to say, "The ups and downs of life are too fast, and he wants to pee a little." ”
"Oops, I love to rub my body great, I love to rub my body great. ”
"What's that?"
Xu Mo, who was scrubbing the bath, unexpectedly found that there was a small ink-colored mark similar to a sword halberd on his right wrist.
"Scribbling on skin is a bad habit. ”
Xu Mo scooped some water and tried to wash it off, but found that the mark grew in the flesh and couldn't be cleaned at all.
"Forget it, forget it, it's normal for ancient people to have some tattoos. ”
After taking a shower and changing into brand new clothes, Xu Mo went to look in the mirror, and couldn't help sighing, but he was wearing a soul instead of a body, that 24K pure handsome little face was really gone, but fortunately, the current skin was not bad, it was passable, otherwise Xu Mo would really have to cry and scold, change his clothes and dress up, Xu Mo went to see the county official Hua Bo'an again, in the Hua family, there was no atmosphere like the court, Hua Bo'an nodded and said, "Dress up, it's really not bad, Xu Mo, are you willing to let you go to be the governor's son-in-law?"
"Female ...... Son-in-law!"
Xu Mo didn't expect that there would be a bigger surprise at the end of the reversal of his life, even the county officials had to be called adults, and their status was poor, and they could be his son-in-law...... Wait, how can there be such a thing as a pie in the sky, besides, even if it is true, such a good chance for a toad to eat swan meat can smash Xu Mo, who is a prisoner? Is it just because he is not a toad, has a flawless appearance and a unique temperament, I am afraid that there is a shady scene.
Xu Mo stared at the county official Hua Bo'an and said, "My lord, why did such a good thing fall on my head, Xu was really flattered, and asked Lord Hua to explain the reason." ”
"Bold!"
Xu Mo thought that Hua Bo'an would give him a reluctant and perfunctory explanation, but he didn't expect him to slap the table directly and say, "If it is divided into Kyushu today, our Changqing Prefecture has four counties, and the governor is the biggest official, and others have no chance to rush into the country, so it's better for you to go back to prison and behead him at noon tomorrow." ”
"Hey, hey, don't, don't!"
What Xu Mo was most afraid of now was to open the cut, and hurriedly shouted, "My lord, I'll go, I'll go!" ”
"Good. ”
The county official Hua Bo'an raised a smile and said, "I will buy you a courtyard in the county seat, destroy your murder file, and get you an identity certificate. ”
"Good!"
Xu Mo was stunned and replied with a good word.
The son-in-law was picked out by him, the identity of the family is naturally not bad, and it is inevitable to buy a house, and besides, the governor must not be allowed to know that Xu Mo is a prisoner, otherwise the head will not be protected, and Hua Bo'an, a county official who loves money like a son, how can he really buy a house for Xu Mo, he has already planned in his heart, the governor's daughter Kefu is a sure fact, the first six family rooms, talents are all big names in the state, and the result is that he didn't survive for half a month, Xu Mo can be spared if he goes to be a son-in-law? In less than half a month, it was a wandering soul on Huangquan Road, and at that time, he would take the house under his name, wouldn't it be a good place for many concubines to raise a number of concubines.
"Clever, clever!"
He couldn't help but marvel at himself.
"Come on, in the last few days, it has been strictly forbidden in the city to talk about the governor's Qianjin Kefu, and there are criminals, capital crimes!"
"Yes. ”
Evening and evening, dusk.
Hua Bo'an temporarily arranged an inn for Xu Mo to live in, saying that the house was purchased and completed, just move in directly, pacing back and forth in the house a few times, Xu Mo, who was going to run away, pushed open the window and saw that there was a quick surveillance at the bottom of the building, and immediately returned to Anfen, he promised Hua Bo'an to be the governor's son-in-law just as an expedient measure to avoid death, he didn't believe that pie would really fall from the sky.
"Could it be that the governor's daughter is an ugly bastard?"
Or ...... Disability!"
