Magistrate Su quickly realized after a brief absence that Zhongliang was of great significance. Regardless of whether it was mixed with water or not, the most important thing at the moment was not to give others a thumb.
This sudden turn of events made it difficult for everyone to turn around. The only one who knew the secret was Master Huang. Unfortunately, Master Huang didn't pay too much attention to it that day. At this time, he suddenly remembered that Xu Chang was dressed in awe-inspiring and full of words.
Solar Terms was also stunned for a moment.
Someone moved a chair, and Xu Qian was not polite. He sat down abruptly, as if he should be sitting here, but enjoying this treatment means that the weight of his words has increased a lot.
Xu Chang was careful when he sat down. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He had lived for most of his life and was not as good as his son. Why did his calves tremble when he saw an official?
Su County Magistrate's face showed some kindness, and he said calmly: "My ancestors respect Mr. Virtue. This county has been fascinated by him for a long time. He is a model for officials and gentry in the world. I just regret that I was born at the wrong time and cannot have him."
It’s really a pity to have a one-sided relationship.”
Magistrate Su's face changed quickly, and his expression was very rich, and then he said: "Since you are a loyal queen, why didn't you tell me earlier? Furthermore, the Nanjing Ministry of Household Affairs has already issued the approval, but why didn't you get it to the county earlier?
Are you here to change your household registration?"
Xu Qian said sternly: "The approval has just arrived. The villain originally planned to change his registration in the county in the next two days, but unexpectedly he got into a lawsuit. The man named Zhang kept saying that the villain has no discipline and is acting lawlessly.
So I forgot about it for a while.”
Su County Magistrate nodded and said: "So, it's the county that has made things difficult for you." But he was cursing secretly in his heart, and he forgot for a moment. It was clear that this bastard was just waiting for someone to use him as an excuse.
Thirteen, this scheming is too deep.
Xu Qian became polite. Although he had a reputation as a Zhongliang, after all, this thing cannot be used as food. If he refuses to give up, Magistrate Su is the head of a county and has many opportunities to rectify himself. He thought for a while
Said: "It is not difficult for an adult to be deceived by a villain for a moment."
County Magistrate Su finally breathed a sigh of relief. The man surnamed Xu was very sensible. Taking a step back in order to advance was tantamount to betraying a personal favor. He was about to continue to say a few polite words, but he might as well coughed and said in a calm tone:
"Sir, since the Xu family is a loyal successor, I don't care about the previous misunderstandings. However, the Xu family's father and son sang mourning music at the door of Zhang's house. It is said that they even set up a yizhuang to park the coffin. Please make the decision, sir.
The father and son immediately locked up Yizhuang and were not allowed to harass the Zhang family again."
Seeing that things were taking a turn for the worse, Zhang Taigong could no longer bear it any longer. Xu Qian almost messed up his sense of control when he fired back the carbine. At this moment, he could only deal with the previous matter in a low-key manner and focus on Yizhuang's affairs.
As soon as these words came out, Magistrate Su groaned in his heart. He suddenly realized that it was not easy to offend people on both sides. The Zhang family was a big family and the head of the gentry, so they must not be treated lightly. And Xu Qian was the queen of loyalty and good deeds. If the truth stood up to Xu Qian
On the other hand, if he had wronged Xu Qian, there would definitely be a lot of yelling and scolding. He had to cheer up, show some dignity, and said to Xu Qian seriously: "Mr. Xu, Zhang Weng said that you and your son are in the Zhang family.
Is it true that there is a charity village across the street?"
Magistrate Su has made up his mind and no longer cares about who has a deeper background or greater reputation. As long as he handles the matter impartially, no one can tell a bad story.
Xu Qian replied seriously: "Sir, this is indeed the case."
Magistrate Su's face became serious and he said: "Opening a charity village opposite the Zhang family is really suspected of disturbing the people. It is excusable for the Zhang family to sue you. Do you know that you are wrong?"
Just now they were asking Xu Qian if he knew he was guilty, but now he was asking if he was aware of his mistake. Obviously, although Magistrate Su wanted to investigate the crime, he had the intention of turning a major issue into a trivial one. As long as Xu Qian admits his mistake, he will be closed.
Yizhuang, this matter will be able to end successfully, and Magistrate Su County can also breathe a sigh of relief.
Xu Qian said: "My lord, the villain and his father are not planning to make a profit, but to do good deeds. Their ancestors were very virtuous. Now, although the Xu family's family fortune has declined, their desire to accumulate virtue and do good has never been cut off. Sir, please
Observe clearly."
Magistrate Su frowned and said: "Since you have done good deeds, this county will naturally reward you. But if you open the Yizhuang opposite the Zhang family, it is natural for the Zhang family to be dissatisfied."
Xu Qian said sternly: "My lord, the Ming Dynasty law has long stipulated that the charity village cannot be opened in the city. As for the charity village on the outskirts of the city, the court has no restrictions. There happens to be an abandoned house opposite the Zhang family. The villain came to open the charity village.
, and did not break the law.”
Magistrate Su County was suddenly surprised. He really couldn't lose his temper when he met a guy who was more proficient in the law than himself. Xu Qian's words were not wrong. The law only stipulated that no charity village should be opened in the city, but Qiantang County
Unlike other county towns, it was so prosperous that many neighbors were outside the city. According to the imperial court's interpretation of the city and its suburbs, Xu Qian's Yizhuang was indeed located on the outskirts of the city. Moreover, he was very righteous and said he was doing good deeds.
Even if Magistrate Su County is a county parent, he can't hinder others from doing good, right? If the Yizhuang is forced to close down, won't he be labeled as being unwilling to educate the people, but still hindering others from doing good?
Tricky...too tricky.
At this moment, Magistrate Su wished he could just walk away and leave this whole mess to others.
It's just that Magistrate Su didn't notice that Master Huang, who was standing next to him, looked worse than him. At first, Master Huang just wanted to watch the fun. Neither the Zhang family nor the Xu family had anything to do with him. Now he
Suddenly he realized that the Xu family was running a yizhuang, and that this trouble was a yizhuang. He also remembered that Xu Qian and his son had invited him to have a drink a few days ago. They also talked about doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, and also asked him to leave his pen and ink. Not only that, Master Huang also accepted
He took away other people's money.
Logically speaking, there seems to be no problem with this, but Mr. Huang Chengfu is such a profound person. When he thought about it carefully, he realized that something was wrong. If he asked himself to write a calligraphy, he would definitely post it to Yiyi with great fanfare.
Outside the village, and what happens after that...
After that, it became a matter of course. The whole county of Yizhuang, the Xu family's father and son, was well known, and the inscription written by Master Huang was also known to everyone. Everyone knew that Master Huang supported the Xu family's good deeds. It is impossible for the Zhang family not to know, even now
I don't know, sooner or later I will hear the news. This means that Master Huang has already entered into a battle with the Zhang family. Although the Zhang family can't do anything to him, Master Huang, the feud is finally settled.
In addition, once the Su County Magistrate sentences the Xu family and his son to close the Yizhuang, what will others say next? Everyone will definitely say that Mr. Huang is just mediocre. Although he is a popular person around the Su County Magistrate, but
The Yizhuang he supported was not shut down immediately. If this news got out, who else in Qiantang County would be willing to ask him to do something?
People have different faces. Mr. Huang is also a scholar. Although he did not win the election, he is still a high-ranking person. People in the county government are all snobbish. If others see that you can speak well, they will naturally follow others' opinions. But once they find that you are not
It works so well. Although I will be polite to you on the surface, I don't know what I think behind my back.
Thinking of this... Master Huang suddenly realized something. He glared at Xu Qian and couldn't help but cursed in his heart: "This little thief, I thought he was kindly asking me to write an inscription, but it turned out that he dug a hole for me to jump into."
.”
Although he hates it, he is helpless. Master Huang has offended the Zhang family, whether intentionally or unintentionally. In addition, the matter is related to his status in the government office, and may even involve him accepting black money from others to do things for others.
Reputation, he can no longer stand.
Master Huang secretly glanced at Magistrate Su's eyes, and then coughed three times.
The sudden cough made Su County Magistrate look sideways. Master Huang was hired by Su County Magistrate and was his confidant. The two looked at each other and had a deep understanding. Su County Magistrate knew in his heart that Huang
