Chapter 408: Good Official

The people in front of the Xia family gathered more and more, climbing trees and climbing the wall to watch the Xia family. At this moment, Mu Qingshuang also climbed to Xu Hao's side, and the others also followed the ladder to the attic when they heard the news.

"It's so unusual, they're all bad people." Qingshuang waved her small fist, very angry, "You should beat the board hard, and then the whole family will go to Yunnan." ”

Xu Hao smiled: "I think so too." ”

Qingshuang turned her head suspiciously and said, "Shouldn't it be treated like this?" Not to mention the relationship between the Xia family and my family, even if it is not, those clansmen are so hateful, they should be taught a lesson. ”

Xu Hao smiled and didn't speak, and Xu Miaojin, who was standing on his left, sighed when he heard this: "Who doesn't have a few similar relatives?" Even if we are willing to vent our evil anger for the Xia family, Mrs. Xia will definitely not agree, not that she doesn't think so, but in this way, Xia will not be able to gain a foothold in Hangzhou, in the final analysis, they are all from the Xia family, and it is not good to do things too much. ”

"Brother-in-law, is that so?" Qingshuang was still young, and stared at Xu Hao incomprehensibly.

Xu Hao explained: "Our family can't meddle in this matter casually, so there are endless troubles after the case is opened, needless to say that there is a suspicion of bullying, what should many other relatives say when they encounter this matter in the future?" A moment of pleasure does not solve the problem completely. ”

Qingshuang said incredulously: "Can't even my brother-in-law take care of it?" You're the Governor. ”

Xu Hao smiled bitterly: "It's because of this that I can't control it, because my every move represents the entire family, but I can have no worries before, of course, it is not impossible, but Mrs. Xia has her own opinions on this matter." As a guest, we can't overstep our bounds. ”

Not to mention the discussion here, over there, Xue Wen looked at the crooked women who were pulled over, and called some women to come forward and search carefully. Rings, bracelets, hairpins, bead hoops, and so on were found from them.

Xue Wen asked someone to count them, and handed them all over to Mrs. Xia in person, and ordered someone to call a midwife outside the door. This move suddenly caused the women to be suspicious in their hearts, and secretly said that they must be suspicious of what else was hidden in our birth door, so that the old lady could reach into her hand to dig out something, and she looked nervous

Putting your hand into your lower body is undoubtedly a great humiliation for a woman. Although Mu Qingshuang hated these women, she was also dissatisfied when she saw this: "Nonsense, how can you be so bad in the blue sky and white days?" Brother-in-law, you don't care? ”

Xu Miaojin also frowned and said, "It's a bit too much." In the future, they will not have the face to see people. ”

Xu Hao naturally knew what to expect, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Xue Wen is much more stable than me." ”

"Xue Wen?" Bing Xue Qingshuang, who was smart, immediately reacted, clapped her hands and smiled: "Sure enough, it was arranged by my brother-in-law." I'll just say it. Even if you are an adult now, you can't look at it like an old gentleman like my second brother, so boring. ”

"Are you complimenting me?" Xu Hao smiled bitterly at the innocent Qingshuang, and Xu Miaojin and others were all surprised.

Just as the women of the Xia family looked at each other and panicked, Xue Wen asked the women who came in, "Is it a woman?" ”

The woman shook her head blankly, and the left and right officials explained, "The master is asking if you are a midwife." ”

"Yes!" The woman hastened to answer.

Xue Wen said to Mrs. Xia, "Call out the pregnant woman and let me see it." ”

Mrs. Xia took out the key from her sleeve. handed it to Xia Jiang's daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law asked someone to put the ladder away. invited the maid who came to the room in the summer, Chunxi to come out.

Xu Hao and the others looked at Chunxi from a distance, although they were not very beautiful, but they were very shy, their skin was fair, they had a gentle charm in Jiangnan, and they were between sixteen or seventeen years old.

Mrs. Xia pointed out to her: "Just bow down the stairs and thank Uncle Xie." ”

Chunxi was supported and bent over slightly. Xue Wen bowed four times and said loudly: "The midwife and the women of the whole clan went to the remote room to check the fetal gas. ”

At that moment, Chunxi followed the midwife into the west room of the hall, and the woman of the Xia family looked at the bulging belly, and sighed in her heart, regretting that she should not have listened to the agitation of Xia Sicai and Xia Wu, and knew that she had an heir, why should she run to find trouble?

The midwife listened carefully to the fetal breath, checked the pulses of both hands, and replied: "The extremely strong fetal gas, according to the experience of the slave family, is probably a male fetus. ”

Xue Wen said loudly: "Have you seen the women of the whole clan?" "I've seen them all." The Xia family responded weakly, and Xia Sicai and other men all showed suspicious expressions.

Xue Wen glanced at them and said with a smile: "Congratulations!" I will say that there is no reason for a good person to give birth? ”

Mrs. Xia said: "Calculate the January and February of the next year. ”

"When was Lingzi gone?" Xue Wen asked.

Mrs. Xia's expression became gloomy and said, "This concubine was accepted on the second day of the fourth month, and her husband was absent on the 12th day of May. ”

When the people outside heard this, they immediately shouted that God has eyes, Chun Tao is about five months pregnant, and now it is October, isn't it the right day? It's just that it's a poor posthumous child.

Don't say that this is true, even if it is fake, it has to be said to be true, Xue Wenwen was entrusted by Xu Hao, and he was originally a little suspicious, but at this time, it was already confirmed that it was true, otherwise it would be impossible for the whole family to be so calm.

Xue Wen secretly sighed that Xu Hao was really acting brightly, and said happily: "This group of minions is hateful!" This official will not wait with you to understand that he will be a Ming Mansion, and he will cause trouble in the future, spreading gossip to harm others and himself. On the day of delivery, the official reported that he would use this midwife to deliver the baby. ”

After saying that, Xue Wen walked out of the gate, and the official sent a chair to sit down, and ordered Xia Sicai and Xia Wu to be brought to the official mansion in public; The other six people, each with thirty boards in front of the door, opened the lock and drove away. He also asked the five women of the Xia family to stand in a row, and took down the same thirty boards each.

Xia Jiang's daughter-in-law came out and said, "If it weren't for the men leading the women, how dare these women do this?" Since the lord has beaten their men, I hope they will be forgiven. ”

Xue Wen said to the people: "It's all this group of shameless women who lead the men through the house and enter the house, wantonly stealing and beating up good people, how can Yiren intercede for them?" If it is a minor sin, it is enough for each person to reprimand him. And such evil deeds must be severely punished in the streets, as an example to the public. ”

The officials immediately pushed the women to the ground and stripped them of their trousers. Frightened, the women cried desperately, and Mrs. Xia hurriedly called Xia Jiang out to intercede.

Pleading again and again, Xu Miaojin glanced at Xu Hao, who was smiling. chuckled: "It seems that I deliberately want to make a move, so that Mrs. Xia can do a favor to her relatives." ”

Mu Qingshuang said puzzledly: "How can you see it?" ”

Zhiqing on the side covered her mouth and smiled: "If you really want to fight, the three boards of the official can beat people's butts to shreds, how can you hold the board and discuss it slowly with you?" It can be seen that he is deliberately making a show. ”

"Oh!" Qingshuang nodded as if she didn't understand, and glanced at her brother-in-law who pretended to be profound dissatisfied, and secretly said in her heart that she even had to hide this from me, and her brother-in-law became more and more distracted from me. Treat me like an outsider, huh!

Xue Wen on the street pretended to be stupid and said, "Cheap these shrews!" If you dare to come to the door to rob again, this official will definitely beat you half to death here. ”

Suddenly, Xue Wen's face changed. He said in a deep voice: "Why don't you see the service in the township?" ”

The chief and deputy lieutenant chief and the local chief officer hurriedly came over together and saluted honestly. Xue Wen said coldly: "Well done, good place!" Such wicked people are allowed to run rampant in the city, and you cannot restrain them and do not report to the authorities. Take it down. Twenty boards per person. ”

In front of everyone's eyes, the chief and others with heads and faces were beaten up with twenty boards, but fortunately, the officials made a skillful effort, although it hurt, it would not hurt the muscles and bones, and through this matter, the neighbors knew that this young Tongzhi Lord was going to support the Xia family to the end.

The whole process was indeed handled by Xue Wen fairly, unhurriedly, and thoughtfully, and immediately won the affirmation and praise of the people.

Many people followed him to the Yamen. The two first evils were each beaten by forty boards, and they were put on the bar. Xia didn't have a hundred bars, and Xia Sicai hid on his wife's couch, added a hundred bars, tossed the two of them to their deaths, and carried them to the prison, where they were allowed to recover from their injuries within a month, and they were not allowed to die.

Seeing the two ghosts crying wolf, tens of thousands of people outside all witnessed it with their own eyes, and they all applauded loudly, saying that this was clearly intolerable, and it was the blessing of the Xia family that God sent ghosts. Otherwise, this kind of property dispute is justified by the public, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and I can't understand it at all for a while, how can I happen to be bumped into by an adult today, and deal with it so heartily?

After this incident, Xue Wenguan rose to prominence, and was praised by the words of ten thousand mouths, who doesn't say that Lord Xue is really a god? A parent who really makes decisions for the people? not only removed the immediate disaster for the Xia family, but also prevented future turmoil.

The people all said: "Really persuade people to rest in everything, there are gods in the head three feet, I hope Chunxi will give birth to a son, and it will be good to live up to Lord Xue's hard work." ”

To be honest, Xu Hao was very satisfied with his friend's performance, and he had just told him the whole situation before, and he was able to convince the people, Xu Hao asked himself how difficult it would be.

After that, Mrs. Xia was grateful, and did her best to replace Xu Hao to help the victims of the disaster in Hangzhou, countless people were respected by the world, and the Hangzhou government also respected her, and because it was a widow's home, all forced labor was exempted.

Xia Sicai and Xia Wu recovered their injuries in the prison, took them out to parade through the streets, and were released home at the end of two months, and the Xia family no longer dared to come to the door to practice, and although Mrs. Xia had no husband and son, she had an unborn grandson, and the Mu family was close at hand, but she was not lonely.

On this day, Zhu Boqing and Jiang Dengyun came together to invite Xu Hao to play, and when they were waiting in the outer study, they saw two girls passing by.

One of them has an elegant body, no less enchanting than Feiyan, and the plum makeup is stunning; The other is beautiful, full of aura between Gu Pan, fresh and elegant like a Lingbo fairy, which makes people forget the vulgar at first sight.

Zhu Boqing sighed: "Compared to Luozhu Yaojun, it is still three points in the world, no wonder Brother Xu rarely goes out, if I have such a stunning appearance around me, I just want to guard them and not leave." ”

Jiang Dengyun said: "It's all dressed up as a girl's family, is it Brother Xu's sister?" ”

Zhu Boqing glared at him and shouted: "You and Luo Zhu's family affairs have been booked, if you dare to see different thoughts, then we will cut off our robes from now on." ”

Jiang Dengyun smiled: "I can't afford to climb the Xu family." ”

At this time, Xu Hao walked out of the inner house, and the two young people couldn't help but ask about the identity of the beauty, Xu Hao smiled and said: "One is my sister Cuiliu, and the other is my wife's sister Qingshuang, who is good-looking or good-looking, and that is the character ambition." Alas! Forget it, don't mention it. ”

Jiang Dengyun said speechlessly: "Obediently, looking at his sister, you can know that his sister, the younger brother does not dare to surprise his sister-in-law, and he must not be more reckless than Xiao Yuying." ”

"Xiao Yuying?"

Xu Hao heard the name that has rarely been mentioned in the past few years, and suddenly why did his aunt Mei insist on coming to Hangzhou, and I don't know if the mother and daughter have met, and how is the cousin doing after not seeing her for many years?

Dragged out of the house by Zhu Boqing in a daze, and got into the carriage, Jiang Dengyun said with great interest: "Brother, do you know that there are two famous prostitutes with both color and art in Hangzhou now?" ”

Xu Hao said casually: "The appearance may be okay, if you say that you are talented, you dare not agree, but remember a few Tang poems, write a few crooked words, you will praise what is a famous prostitute." ”

Zhu Boqing suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "I often say that the four words 'romantic and suave' can't be said to a layman, but I didn't expect my brother to be a layman." ”

Xu Hao said with a smile: "Vulgar is vulgar, the two of you don't accompany your fiancΓ©e, who is charming and talented, and you have to drag me to prostitution, which can be said to be vulgar." ”

"The two brothers are arguing slowly, listening to the younger brother." Jiang Dengyun smiled and said: "Originally, I didn't want to go, but my cousin blindly praised it, saying that if you don't believe it, just go and comment." Anyway, it's in the city, let's go directly to the test for her, and the truth is the score. ”

Zhu Boqing said: "You are still an understanding person, unlike Brother Xu who sits in a well and watches the sky. A few days ago, I was walking on the lake with a friend from middle school, and the friend said: Now there are two famous prostitutes, named Nie Hui'er and Nie Li'er, have you ever paid tribute? I've vaguely heard someone mention that I went with him because I was happy for a while.

At first, I also had the same meaning as you, but with a little bit of literacy, where can I be worthy of the word "famous prostitute"? Unexpectedly, after talking for a while, it was not that I was self-defeating, but also that I was well-known in Shilin. But when it came to her sisters, she felt that it was incomparable. The sisters are not only talented, but also excellent in appearance, which is admirable and lovely, and it is a pity that such a beauty has fallen into the dust. For a while, the three sons of 'respect, love, and cherish' in their hearts were upside down, but they couldn't say a word, but they were ridiculed by Na Hui'er, saying that I was like a Mrs. Xi.
