Zhao Xiang was going to go in person, but everyone was a little uneasy, so Li Zheng from Zaihu Village and Bajiao Village simply took a few students to go with him.
"Mr. Zhao is the husband of the children in our village. It is only natural that we should accompany him!"
"That's right. It's hard to find a good gentleman. Shouldn't we wait on him when he goes out?"
Upon seeing this, Zhao Liya thanked Zhao Xiang and advised Zhao Xiang: "Dad, Uncle Li Zheng and the others also have good intentions. In this case, let's all come together. It's good to have someone to take care of you."
Zhao Xiang thought for a while, nodded in agreement, and thanked him with emotion.
The people here are simple and honest, and he really likes it here. If he can choose one of the best to teach him a thing or two, it will not be a waste of time to come here!
Zhao Xiang asked to see him, but Magistrate Yin refused to see him. Li Zheng and the others did not follow him. They all waited outside the yamen, which soon attracted many curious people to watch.
This was the first time for County Magistrate Yin to meet Zhao Xiang, and he couldn't help but secretly look at him, feeling a little jealous.
Even though Zhao Xiang is wearing coarse clothes and has a gentle and calm expression, he still makes people look up to him. This feeling makes him very uncomfortable, after all, he is the county magistrate!
"Zhao—Zhao Xiang, right? Why do you want to see me?"
Magistrate Yin almost called him "Mr. Zhao", feeling secretly embarrassed.
Zhao Xiang bowed his hands and said, "Sir, the guilty people do have something important to do. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare bother you. Please forgive me."
Zhao Xiang's respectful attitude finally made Magistrate Yin feel better. He nodded and his tone became a little gentler: "Just tell me."
Zhao Xiang then told the story about the officer going to ask for tribute. As if he didn't notice the slight change in Magistrate Yin's expression, he smiled bitterly and sighed: "Is there any misunderstanding about this matter? It is difficult to follow this fact. We will wait and see.
Nope. Special today
Sir, if it is a misunderstanding, we can feel at ease if it is cleared up. If it is not a misunderstanding, we do not dare to delay the important matter of worship, let alone embarrass you. I have no choice but to write a letter with my old face and ask my old friends to help accommodate.
It’s very accommodating.”
Magistrate Yin was very angry.
Mao Dexing is getting more and more courageous! He dares to make his own decisions!
I don't know anything about this myself.
If Zhao Xiang really repairs the book and sends it out and tells this, what will he do? Who knows who he will send the letter to? What if he bumps into someone else's hands in the future?
County Magistrate Yin scolded Mao Dexing a hundred times in his heart, but he could not express his ignorance in front of Zhao Xiang, otherwise he would lose face even more.
He was surprised and said: "Did the messenger really say that? How can it be so? What a cunning person, talking nonsense! It doesn't matter, the imperial court would not send corvees to it, it would not be so ridiculous! However, the best Ganoderma lucidum, a mountain treasure, is
I've always wanted it, so just look for it and hand it over when you find it."
The meaning of this is very clear. If you find it, if you find it, forget about it.
Zhao Xiang understood. Magistrate Yin went down the steps. He had to save his own face. He couldn't say in front of Zhao Xiang that this was not the case at all. It was all up to the people below.
In this case, wouldn't it appear that he is too incompetent?
Zhao Xiang agreed: "Yes, sir. The sinners understand, the sinners will retreat."
Magistrate Yin nodded.
Zhao Xiang and Hu led him out of the Yamen. Seeing that he was safe and sound, and hearing that the matter had been resolved, everyone was overjoyed and surrounded him happily and left.
As soon as he left, Magistrate Yin's face suddenly darkened. He sneered at the master and said, "Am I the official of this place or someone else? Okay, okay, okay, great, the court's order has been passed on to the village.
, I still don’t know anything about it! What’s the point of this?”
The master did not dare to say anything and quickly apologized: "I don't even know about this, so please punish me."
Magistrate Yin sneered: "It's not surprising that you don't know, haha! Go, the officers who went to deliver the order that day gave me thirty big slaps each and a fine of three months' salary. Tell that bastard Mao Dexing to get over here!"
It is intolerable to dare to tell his people to do things without telling him.
In fact, Mao Dexing soon found out about Zhao Xiang and others entering the Yamen. He did not take it seriously and instead mocked Zhao Xiang and others for not knowing their capabilities.
Does he think he is still a high-ranking member of the imperial court, a prince and a master? He is a criminal!
What does it mean to bring so many people to find his brother-in-law? A threat? Haha! That's great, he wishes he could threaten him.
Look who listens to whom these days.
As long as he dares to threaten him, my brother-in-law will never let him go!
Mao Dexing did not expect that instead of waiting for the news of Zhao Xiang being severely punished, his brother-in-law called him over and scolded him.
"Next time you dare to use my name to use people from the government to do things and falsely pass the ban, don't blame me for not letting you go easily!"
Mao Dexing was angry, hateful and aggrieved: "Brother-in-law, I can't help it. This--the Zhao family is so abominable! They fanned the flames of the troubles caused by the unruly people in Zaihu Village and Bajiao Village. If I don't move out of the government, they won't be afraid at all."
!”
County Magistrate Yin sneered: "How can a mere Zhao family make it difficult for you like this? Don't talk nonsense to me, think of your own solution!"
Mao Dexing had no choice but to retreat.
This time, he really came up with a solution.
So, the next morning, before Zhao Liya, Hu Ling and the others went out, a matchmaker wearing colorful clothes and a fat face with a festive smile came to the door with a smile.
"Congratulations, Mr. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao! Someone has taken a liking to Miss Zhao. This is a good family. They are rich and powerful. They are about the same age as Miss Zhao. They are very handsome! There are so many brocades at home, so I suddenly
There's no shortage of chicken, duck, and fish, and there are girls and servants waiting on you.
! If Miss Zhao gets married, even if she is to be a concubine, there is nothing wrong with her. She will enjoy endless blessings in the future! Even with you two, she will not have to worry about the rest of her life! Oh, this is how many lifetimes
Only people like you can afford the good blessings gained through cultivation."
The matchmaker smiled and talked with envy and emotion. The whole family was stunned at first, and then became furious!
"Who are you talking about? Being a concubine?"
The matchmaker didn't think there was anything wrong, and still smiled: "There is nothing wrong with being a concubine. To put it bluntly, if girls from Yancun want to live a good life, don't they all become concubines for the richest families?
The person I'm talking about is the county magistrate's brother-in-law and the son of the Mao family. Listen to me, is he a first-class good man? Hahaha!"
"What!"
"That's unreasonable!"
Zhao Xiang, Deng Shi, Hu Ling and others were almost furious.
"Get out of here! Fortunately you are not from the Mao family, otherwise I will break your legs!"
"Our Ya'er doesn't know how to be a concubine? Oh, is it worthy?"
