In addition to knowing that no matter how angry she is, it will not help, she also agrees with her son’s evaluation of Zhu Niang. She also believes that Zhu Niang is a woman and wants to escape Anlu with her son. Where can she go?
Is it true that the identity of the Zhu family's Jinyiwei Qianhu is a vegetarian? Even if there are no people under his command, there is no problem in finding someone to help investigate, and it can make you run away?
"Mom, I think that woman has probably returned to her parents' home with her child. Why don't we send someone to chase her and bring her back." Zhu Wanjian looked ferocious.
Zhu Jiashi said coldly: "There's no rush."
"Ah? Mom, this is..."
Zhu Wanjian looked surprised.
Zhu Jiashi rolled her eyes at her son: "What's the use of arresting her now? It's better to wait until after the Chinese New Year, when the news about her escaping with others spreads to the streets. Then, what kind of face will she have when she returns to Anlu?"
Starting your own business? I’m afraid someone will stab me in the back when I go out..."
Zhu Wanjian suddenly realized: "My mother is still smart, so that kid will find someone to spread the word about her unruly women."
Zhu Jiashi said: "You don't have to deal with this matter. Now you and Butler Liu go to the county government office and ask the county magistrate to transfer all the houses left in the city to the name of the Zhu family... She chose to take the children away,
I should have expected that the house would return to my Zhu family, which was a mistake."
Zhu Wanjian said excitedly: "I'll go right away."
Saying that, he turned to leave.
Zhu Jiashi asked Butler Liu to follow him, but Zhu Wanjian said dissatisfied: "Why do you need to find an outsider to go with you? The child can be taken care of by himself."
Zhu Jia said disdainfully: "Just you? Let Butler Liu help out. Changshou, a new magistrate county, has little contact with my Zhu family, so I don't know how deep it is... You can bring some gifts, and the Zhu family will never be disrespectful."
!”
…
…
Zhu Jiashi was very well prepared.
Housekeeper Liu followed behind with two boxes of gifts. On behalf of the Zhu family, Zhu Wanjian went to visit Jing Zhongkuan, the magistrate of Changshou County. It was very polite. It was expected that Jing Zhongkuan was just a temporary acting magistrate of Fuguo County. He was better off than the previous magistrate Shen Li.
It's quite bad. The Zhu family of Jinyiwei sent people to the door, and they should be able to obey his words.
Zhu Wanjian and Liu Guanjia arrived at the gate of the county government office and asked the doorman to hand over the greeting card, and then the county magistrate came out to greet them.
Zhu Wanjian strode forward and found that Butler Liu was about to follow him in. He immediately raised his hand to stop him: "Wait outside the door."
Butler Liu hurriedly said: "Second Master, this is the old lady..."
"With your status, you are not qualified to meet with the county magistrate, and you don't have the right to look at yourself!"
Zhu Wanjian had long been unhappy with Butler Liu.
This time, Zhu Jiashi specially asked Butler Liu to follow him. He understood that this was because his mother was worried about him and wanted someone to monitor him, just like supervising the army.
But he has a very high self-esteem and feels that there is no need for others to judge what he is doing. Does he still take me seriously?
Butler Liu had no choice but to retreat to the gate of the county government office.
…
…
In the back hall of the magistrate's yamen, Jing Zhongkuan met with Zhu Wanjian.
There have been many people coming to give gifts these days, and Jing Zhongkuan has seen everyone he can. For a magistrate like him who only has more than a year left in his term, he will most likely be unemployed after completing this term, which is not unusual for him.
That gift was just to make more connections, and there were many local gentry who had better connections than him.
"The boss of Zhuxiang is here. I didn't come far to greet you. I hope you will forgive me."
Jing Zhongkuan was also polite to Zhu Wanjian.
If we talk about the local people with big backgrounds, the Zhu family is definitely number one. Although Zhu Wanjian is just a commoner now, who allowed him to have a father with a family of 100 Jinyiwei? It should be said that Zhu Wanjian himself was once a member of 100 Jinyiwei... but he was deprived of his position.
Maybe the general will be reinstated?
Jing Zhongkuan has met many gentry in the past few days, and he always adheres to the principle of politeness in terms of titles.
Zhu Wanjian had never heard anyone call him a "hometown elder", and he suddenly felt that his face was flattering, and he felt a little more relaxed about Jing Zhongkuan.
This county magistrate...has a small background, and he really doesn't dare to put on airs in front of me.
Zhu Wanjian smiled and said: "Jingzhi County is so polite. I have always wanted to visit him before, but I didn't dare to bother him. Today I can see you... Jingzhi County is really talented and beautiful."
As he spoke, he felt secretly happy.
Although I saw that Jing Zhongkuan had little ability, I still remained neither humble nor overbearing. The old lady still thought that I wouldn't be able to handle the situation?
Look how well I cope!
Jing Zhongkuan's reaction was different from Zhu Wanjian's imagination.
Both talented and beautiful?
What the hell is this?
After hearing such lame compliments, Jing Zhongkuan was startled for a moment, and then a weird smile appeared on his face... What a big idiot! Who doesn't know that you tricked your predecessor, Shen County Magistrate? If you had a choice , I definitely don’t want to see you, this disaster star.
"Mr. Zhu Xiang, please take a seat. Someone is here to serve you tea!"
Jing Zhongkuan remained calm and polite.
Zhu Wanjian actually sat down, then crossed his legs, his attitude was extremely casual, as if he was very familiar with Jing Zhongkuan.
After chatting for a while, Zhu Wanjian got to the point: "I came here today because of a trivial matter at home... A shop in the city, along with the back house and the fields outside the city, were transferred to my Zhu family."
Jing Zhongkuan was a little puzzled: "For such matters, you can just say hello to the clerk. Why does Mr. Zhu Xiang come to the door in person?"
Zhu Wanjian said: "I feel ashamed to say that this matter involves a dispute in my family. I would like to ask the magistrate and county magistrate to make it easier for me. I, the Zhu family, will be very grateful."
As he spoke, he took out a drafted contract and handed it to Jing Zhongkuan.
Jing Zhongkuan originally thought that the other party was here to give gifts, so he gave him a good look. When he saw that the other party was here to do something for him, he felt unhappy. When he saw the address above, he felt more familiar... Isn't this the first time he entered the city? I visited my son’s classmate Zhu Hao’s shop a few days ago?
The county magistrate came over and was about to take the contract for processing, but Jing Zhongkuan made a "pause" gesture, turned around and asked curiously: "Mr. Zhu Xiang, this house seems to belong to General Zhongyi. I don't know General Zhongyi." …”
Zhu Wanjian laughed and said, "It's my brother-in-law."
"oh."
Jing Zhongkuan nodded, with a faint sneer on his face, and continued to pretend to be confused, "General Zhongyi sacrificed his life for the country, and the imperial court specially awarded him a farm and house. Could it be that he has no heirs to inherit, so the Zhu family wants to take it back?" ?”
When Zhu Wanjian heard this, he felt angry.
Why should my brother's family property be inherited by his son? It should be my brother who inherits it!
Zhu Wanjian said: "My brother has no heirs, how pitiful, how pitiful..."
This is to bully Jing Zhongkuan, who is not a local, and think that Jing Zhongkuan does not know the internal grievances and disputes within the Zhu family, which is pure bullying.
Jing Zhongkuan asked in surprise: "Why did this county hear that General Zhongyi not only has an heir named Zhu Hao, but also has a widow who needs pension..."
Zhu Wanjian suddenly showed an exaggerated expression that said, "You wouldn't know it at first sight." He squinted his eyes and turned his head to one side, glancing at Jing Zhongkuan with his peripheral vision: "It's nothing, where did Jing Zhixian hear the rumors? My family's Can you understand the matter better than you?"
This posture...
Even the county magistrate on the side couldn't stand it.
The county magistrate reminded: "Mr. Zhu Er, the county magistrate went to visit Mrs. Zhu San on the day he entered the city. He knows the family situation of Mrs. Zhu San very well."
What Jing Zhongkuan actually wants to say is that my son is studying in the palace with Zhu Hao. Every time he comes back, he mentions Zhu Hao. Recently, his son even proposed that Zhu Hao study in the county government...
Do you really think I know nothing about local conditions?
Zhu Wanjian became a little angry after hearing what the county magistrate said.
The person with the surname Jing already knew that my brother had a son, so he deliberately choked me, right?
You actually have the nerve to ask my brother if he has any heirs?
Zhu Wanjian's attitude turned cold: "Brother, he really has no heirs. That child may be a bastard, and my Zhu family will not recognize it."
Jing Zhongkuan could tell who the Zhu family was as soon as he heard it. He smiled and said: "This county will not interfere with the Zhu family's grievances, but since there are apparently heirs, we must respect the wishes of the original owner... I don't know.
Did Mrs. Zhu San agree to transfer the property back to the Zhu family, or was it Zhu Hao himself? Did you bring the deed of transfer?"
"She ran away! Or she went to steal the man! She also took away the land and house deeds! The Zhu family was afraid that the property that belonged to their deceased brother would be stolen by outsiders, so they came to the government to handle the transfer!"
Zhu Wanjian became more and more impatient and started talking nonsense. He didn't know what it meant to hide a family scandal. He just made up misdeeds about his brother's widow and slandered her.
The county magistrate couldn't listen anymore and explained to Jing Zhongkuan: "Mrs. Zhu San usually treats people very peacefully and has a good reputation among the neighbors."
Jing Zhongkuan said: "Since there is no contract, it is up to the village elders to make the decision. The county should not interfere in local affairs, otherwise outsiders will think that the county helps others steal the property of orphans and widows, which will be detrimental to the official reputation... Mr. Zhu Xiang
, please come back!”
Zhu Wanjian slapped the table, stood up and angrily shouted: "Jing, what do you mean? Do you mean that you don't want to give my Zhu family face?"
Zhu Wanjian thought he could cope with the situation before, but now he reveals his true nature when he encounters setbacks.
Jing Zhongkuan was not angry, and said with a smile: "Face or not, we have to act according to the rules. Either we have a contract, or the village elders come together to do justice. If all parties think it is appropriate, then the county will also
I won't interfere recklessly... But now that there are no formalities, it might not be appropriate for the county to stand up for the Zhu family, right?
"This county has also heard about the experience of our predecessor... Shen Zhixian. Does Mr. Zhu Xiang want this county to follow in his footsteps? Come and see your guests off!"
This time Jing Zhongkuan was no longer polite.
No matter how great your reputation is, it is all empty. I am an acting magistrate who only serves half-term and I am afraid of you!
Even if your Zhu family doesn't cause any trouble, my career will not go smoothly. How much benefit can you give me to be your leader?
…
…
Zhu Wanjian was then "invited" out of the county government gate by officials and government officials.
Butler Liu waited for a long time, and saw Zhu Wanjian rushing out angrily, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask: "Second Master, about the transfer of the land and house..."
At this moment, two government officials came out of the county government office and took out the two boxes that Zhu Wanjian had just sent in.
It took four people to carry it in, and only two people needed to hold it with their hands when it came out.
The officials were a little disdainful. The box was not heavy. Even if they didn't open it, they would probably guess that there wasn't anything valuable inside.
Zhu Wanjian said angrily: "That county magistrate doesn't know what is good and what is good. I will give him some trouble when I turn around!"
In fact, Butler Liu doesn't need Zhu Wanjian to tell him, he can tell a clue just by looking at the reaction of the official.
He looked at Zhu Wanjian with pitiful and pitiful eyes, as if provoking: Why do you look down on him?
"Second Master, you are actually on good terms with the county government. If the county government refuses to help, please tell the fellow villagers clearly. The third wife has absconded with her children, and the transfer of ownership is a matter of course... Why do you need to talk to the county magistrate?
Can’t make it? Let’s go back and report to the old lady quickly and find a remedy!”
After that, Butler Liu went to catch the carriage.
Zhu Wanjian was feeling that he had lost his face and needed to find a place to make amends. Hearing this, he waved his hand and said, "If I want you to come back, I have other things to do. In the future, I will do something like joining the county government... Whoever wants to come in, I still have to do it."
