Cui Weizhen's eyes darkened slightly, "My late father passed away three years ago."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for touching Mr. Cui's sadness."
All the students and scholars in this county have their school status files. It’s okay if Li Xuandao doesn’t know about it. Cui Weizhen, as the new head of the case, is very inappropriate for him to ask such low-level questions.
"Sir, you are so busy, working so hard at night, that you haven't even had a chance to look at the student status files of the new talents."
Mrs. Li played her role as a wise helper, gave Li Xuandao a smile, and joked, "Master of Heaven and Earth, Master of Academic Affairs, and Master Cui's late father are old friends, and now they are master and apprentice again. They are the two of us.
The relationship is like half father and son, isn't it?"
Wang Xuezheng's face softened slightly, "I have lost contact with Wei Zhen for many years. We happened to meet him outside the ceremony room a few days ago. I didn't dare to recognize him for a while. It wasn't until he was selected as a scholar and learned his name that I knew he was
The son of my old friend."
Cui Weizhen cupped his hands and said, "It's a discourtesy of a student to not visit him immediately."
This is all understandable. After all, Wang Xuezheng had to supervise the college examination. Cui Weizhen did not recognize each other immediately to avoid suspicion.
Li Xuandao repeatedly praised Cui Weizhen's integrity, "If others had anything to do with academic affairs, they would have been trying to curry favor with him. Mr. Cui's magnanimous style and ability to rely on his own strength to lead the case are really admirable."
The college examination adopts a name-blinding system. Even if Wang Xuezheng knew Cui Weizhen, the case leader came out of the blue and had no water at all.
Cui Weizhenqian said a few words of modesty and courtesy, but Wang Xuezheng was very proud and said, "My student is unwilling to return to Beijing with me. In the future, Mr. Li will have to look after me with a lot of ceremonial guards."
Aunt Cui and Cui Weizhen have already settled in Linxi County. Next year's provincial examination must take the Linxi County examination. This is one of the reasons why Cui Weizhen is unwilling to go back to Beijing despite Li Xuandao. It would be too much trouble to go back and forth.
"This is natural, this is natural," Li Xuandao responded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, with the lower officials watching, Mr. Cui will never be wronged in the slightest."
Wang Xuezheng nodded and thanked him, and then mentioned casually, "Master Li has been the county magistrate for many years. If you want to be promoted, you still have to make some achievements. As far as I can see, the public security in Linxi County is poor.
It's very lacking. Just yesterday, Wei Zhen's wife was followed by a few gangsters. If she hadn't been alert, something big would have happened."
"Is there such a thing?"
Li Xuandao looked surprised, as if he didn't know about this, and said with a guilty look, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, it's because I have failed to govern well. From now on, I will definitely tighten the security of the county and clean up the stubborn scoundrels. Mrs. Ye,
Everything is my fault, and I apologize to you."
He actually stood up and bowed to Ye Zhenzhen to apologize.
Ye Zhenzhen evaded, "The words of the county magistrate are serious. You have many things to do every day, and it is normal for you to have some gaps in your administration. Miss Li and I know each other, and speaking of you, you are also an elder, so I would never dare to accept your courtesy.
"
Li Xuandao looked at his daughter in surprise, "Minghui, do you know Madam Ye? Why don't you mention it?"
Li Minghui had been pale since Wang Xuedao finished her political speech. Now she was called by Li Xuandao, and everyone's eyes were focused on her. She was panicked for a moment, but she quickly covered it up and smiled reluctantly, "
I had a chance encounter with Mrs. Ye at Qunfangzhai before."
This is shirk, the two of them don't know each other anymore.
Ye Zhenzhen didn't feel embarrassed, she just deliberately brought up the topic, and now she got what she wanted, and said with a serious face, "I had some dissatisfaction with Miss Li before, and I haven't apologized to you yet. Now I will formally apologize to you, and I will also apologize to you.
I hope you, my lord, will be able to forgive me for my last offense."
After she said this, the atmosphere became subtle.
She had a bad relationship with Li Minghui, and then she contacted the gangster Wang Xuezheng specifically mentioned. What else could she not understand?
Li Xuandao was a veteran in the officialdom. Now he finally understood why Wang Xuezheng brought his disciples to visit. It turned out that he came here for this matter.
His face immediately dropped, and he shouted angrily, "Minghui, did you offend Mrs. Ye? Apologize now!"
"It's not my fault at all! She obviously broke the waiter's wrist in the store, so why should I apologize?"
Li Minghui was a spoiled master who had never been wronged on weekdays. Now that her father was scolding her in front of outsiders, her face immediately lost its composure and she started yelling angrily.
Mrs. Li felt sorry for her daughter and quickly defended her, "Sir, Madam Ye admitted that she was wrong. Why don't you scold your daughter indiscriminately?"
Ye Zhenzhen said quickly, "Please calm down the county magistrate, this matter is indeed my fault. I come from a small family, I can't stand on the stage of Qunfangzhai, and it is an eyesore to Miss Li, so I was expelled by the waiter. I
At that time, in order to protect myself, I blocked it and accidentally broke the waiter's wrist. In any case, I hurt someone after all, and it was wrong."
This method of retreating into advancement really smells like a white lotus flower.
Li Xuandao's face immediately darkened, and he slapped Li Minghui with a flick of his hand, "Nie Zhan, is this how I teach you on weekdays? Where has your upbringing gone?"
Li Minghui screamed, glared at him fiercely, covered her face and ran away.
"master!"
Mrs. Li was so distressed that she looked at Ye Zhenzhen with her eyes like knives, "Ms. Ye, it was my fault in teaching my daughter that I offended you. I will definitely teach her a lesson in the future. Just calm down and forgive her for doing this."
Go back."
Ye Zhenzhen's face was full of guilt, "It's all my fault, causing Miss Li to get beaten. She had misunderstood me originally, but now she will blame me even more."
If something happens to her next time, it will still be Li Minghui's fault.
The muscles on Li Xuandao's face twitched slightly, and he managed to smile a little, "Don't worry, Mrs. Ye, I will never dare to complain."
Ye Zhenzhen took it easy and flattered her a few words hypocritically, "The county magistrate is broad-minded and reasonable, which is really a blessing to the people of Linxi County."
"No, no, Mrs. Ye is so complimentary."
Li Xundao also said a few polite words, and the matter was revealed.
Wang Xuezheng looked on coldly and had a new understanding of Mrs. Ye. When he heard that Wei Zhen had married a village girl, he was very dissatisfied. Even his daughter was not worthy of being the lintel of the Cui family.
A village girl who has seen the world, isn’t it wrong for Wei Zhen?
Now that he saw that Mrs. Ye was quite resourceful and courageous, she was not too bad at least. Although he did not completely let go of his family background, he still reluctantly admitted it.
Besides, if Cui Weizhen doesn’t want to admit to his wife, what can he do?
