Wu Qianhu looked at his ex-son-in-law who kept calling him "Old Man Wu", and then looked at his daughter with a dull expression, and he felt like he was not willing to punch Ximen Qing to the ground.
But Wu Qianhu's fists changed from loosening to clenching and then relaxing again. Wu Qianhu still didn't have the consciousness to break the jar. The Ximen Qing in front of him was no longer Wu Xia Amen in the past. Wu Qianhu really couldn't bear to see it.
through.
"What Wan Guan! There are only five..." Uncle Wu couldn't think of it for a moment and almost blurted out. Wu Qianhu reacted quickly and turned around to give Uncle Wu a big mouth.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wu Qianhu glared and yelled at his son: "It's obviously Ximen Qing who bullied others and drove away his good wife. How can there be any misappropriation of property!"
Ximen Qing looked at Wu Qianhu's scene with a smile on his face, without the slightest intention to refute. He was the director of the Qinghe County Public Security Bureau, so he didn't have the final say on what crime he would be convicted of?
This old man Wu must be doing some tricks underneath.
After Wu Qianhu finished spanking his son, he turned around and bowed his hands to Niu Dutou in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "Niu Dutou, Quanzi spoke so freely, please forgive me! I just ask Niu Dutou to bear witness today, and I will bring him to justice."
I can't thank you enough for being able to speak out and impartially!"
"Huh?" Niu Du turned his head to the side and ignored Wu Qianhu's comment. Instead, he raised his head and observed the clear sky. After Wu Qianhu finished speaking, he pretended to be deaf and dumb and said:
"I don't study well enough to understand what an old man like you says. If anything happens, just tell it in court tomorrow, and the county magistrate will naturally handle it impartially. I'm a small person, so I can't take care of this."
Seeing Niu Dutou's reaction, Wu Qianhu frowned, took his daughter, and went away with a group of people.
"Old man Wu, remember to go to the Yamen tomorrow... don't forget about it after sleeping! Also, prepare the money!"
"One! Ten thousand! Guan!" Ximen Qing reminded Wu Qianhu loudly and kindly from behind.
Wu Qianhu was trembling with anger and had no choice but to leave. The crowd left in despair. The momentum they had before arriving had turned into silent disappointment.
Originally, he brought someone here to support his daughter, but instead he was tricked by Ximen Qing, which made Wu Qianhu unable to swallow his anger.
When the mourning soldiers turned around on the street, Wu Qianhu discussed with his son: "This time Ximen Qing came with bad intentions, and he has Abacus Li as a witness. We have no other choice but to find someone named Zhu to suppress Ximen Qing."
That’s it.”
Uncle Wu's cheeks were burning, and when he thought of Ximen Qing, his teeth itched with hatred: "Dad, the only solution now is to lose money and avoid disaster. You said that a guy like Ximen Qing, why did Zhu Zhixian take a fancy to him?
"
Wu Qianhu looked at this useless son and sighed: "I asked my master to mention it countless times in front of Zhu, but Zhu never nodded. No one else appreciates your virtue."
"Although your sister is a woman, she is much stronger than you. She originally controlled the Ximen family tightly, but she was careless this time. Ximen Qing doesn't care at all..."
Wu Yueniang seemed to have come back to her senses this time, gritting her teeth and stamping her feet: "This Ximen Qing is going to force our Wu family to ruin, and we are not going to give up. It's obviously only five or six thousand guan, but this guy just opened his mouth and mentioned
Ten thousand gu. It would be better to give all this money to him than to Zhu Zhixian!"
"Dad, as the saying goes: strike first to gain advantage, strike later to suffer disaster. We can think of finding someone named Zhu, but Ximen Qing may not be able to. You must find someone named Zhu through connections as soon as possible and spend the money!"
"That's right!" Wu Qianhu's eyes lit up: "She is indeed my good daughter. Son, you take the people back first. I will go to the master and talk to the person named Zhu through his relationship."
"I'm going to fight hard this time! It will cost me a thousand guan, and it will make Ximen Qing unable to lift his head!" Wu Qianhu couldn't help but clenched his fists: "Son, maybe the person surnamed Zhu can defeat this county lieutenant by then.
I’ll give you a seat.”
When his father said this, Uncle Wu immediately saw his extremely bright future!
When Wu Qianhu was gearing up and preparing to use sugar-coated bullets to make Zhu Zhixian his own, Ximen Qing had already taken a step forward. As soon as Wu Qianhu left, Ximen Qing asked Xiao Tianqing to prepare his horse and go to the county government office to find Zhu Zhixian.
.
"It turns out that the new county magistrate is here!" The master's face was so full of smiles that he let Ximen Qing go to the backyard of the county government office: "The magistrate is in the study."
Ximen Qing nodded and handed over a handout, which he had just found from Wu Yueniang's room. The master declined with a smile and stuffed it directly into his sleeve.
When Ximen Qing entered the study, the master secretly took out the Jiaozi behind his back and took a look at it. He was immediately stunned by Ximen Qing's generous words: Fifty Guan!
As far as Qinghe County is concerned, Magistrate Zhu has almost wiped out a layer of land, and can only get more than a thousand guan a year. Even if Ximen Qing opens his hand, even 50 guan of jiaozi will fly into his sleeve.
This kind of courage is definitely a person who can do great things!
For some reason, the master suddenly admired Ximen Qing, and for the first time he felt that Zhu Zhixian's vision was not wrong at all. Compared with the guy from Wu Qianhu's family, he was in heaven and on earth.
Even Wu Qianhu only bribed himself repeatedly. Originally, he was very grateful and took the risk of offending the county magistrate by mentioning Uncle Wu again and again. But today, it seems that this man surnamed Wu is really
Too stingy.
The master is already old and has no hope of entering the officialdom. However, these fifty strings will allow the master to live a decent life in Baihualou and be free and unrestrained for a few times.
Thinking of this, the master also went to the study room to accept money from others to do things for others. He wanted to help Ximen Qing speak, didn't he?
"I said Brother Ximen, why didn't you come over just now, but now you have time to come over?" Zhu Zhixian smiled and looked at Ximen Qing sitting opposite.
"There was something going on at home just now, and I really couldn't get away from it." Ximen Qing played with the mutton-fat jade pendant, with an unpredictable smile on his face: "This time, everything is done smoothly, come here quickly to see your lord."
"Everything is done smoothly?" Zhu Zhixian still smiled and looked at Ximen Qing with appreciative eyes: "Although you have kicked Wu Yueniang out, have you thought about how to deal with Wu Qianhu?"
"The magistrate is very well-informed, and I admire him very much." Ximen Qing stopped and said seriously: "That Wu Qianhu instigated his daughter to secretly embezzle the property of my Ximen family. It is really abominable. I just calculated it, and it is as much as ten thousand yuan!"
"What?" Zhu Zhixian was surprised: "If there are really so many, this case can be regarded as the largest case in the county, and it must be investigated carefully."
"Abacus Li shortchanged Wu Yueniang's account and transferred the money to their Wu family." Ximen Qing nodded and said: "The young man has all the witnesses and physical evidence in his hands. It has been made into ironclad evidence. I am not afraid that Wu Qianhu will not accept it, but I am afraid that the Wu family will default on the account."
, refused to return it.”
"Since the evidence is conclusive, the county will naturally handle it impartially." Zhu Zhixian leaned back and said, "It is only natural to pay back debts. Dear brother, don't worry, this county is in charge, and we are not afraid that Wu Qianhu will not admit his debt."
"Xiao Sheng was given the position of county captain by the adults, and he is so helpful. Xiao Sheng is really grateful." Ximen Qing thanked him first, and then directly offered the price.
"If Wu Qianhu returns Xiaosheng's wealth of ten thousand yuan, Xiaosheng is willing to donate three thousand yuan to help the adults supplement the expenses."
"Huh?" Zhu Zhixian was leaning firmly on the back of his chair. When he heard Ximen Qing's price, he leaned forward suddenly: "Are you serious?"
"It's more real than Jiaozi." Ximen Qing knew the importance of this price in Zhu Zhixian's heart and responded with a smile.
"Okay! Very good!" Zhu Zhixian stood up directly, walked back and forth in the room, and looked at Ximen Qing with admiring eyes: "With three thousand strings like you, this county has the right to speak to the Tokyo Taiwei."
!”
When the master entered the room, he saw that the atmosphere had reached its peak. Judging from the expressions of the magistrate and Ximen Qing, it seemed that they had reached an agreement...
"Master came just in time!" Ximen Qing said with a smile: "That Abacus Li who made a short account has already asked me to be locked up in the firewood shed, just waiting to come to court in the morning. In this way, the family is missing an accountant. Does Master know him well?
A good player, please introduce me to him."
Before the master could speak, Zhu Zhixian spoke up: "Brother, why didn't you tell me earlier! I happen to have a candidate here. His surname is Jiang, with a single word of respect, and he is from Tanzhou. This man is obsessed with arithmetic and is quite famous. It is a pity that the imperial examination
No, I am planning to return to my hometown, but because I had a drink with me in Tokyo, I stayed in Qinghe County for a few days."
"Jiang Jing!" Ximen Qing asked, "But he is nicknamed the Divine Counter?"
Jiang Jing, the magic fortune teller, can be said to be the financial director of Shuibo Liangshan Group, and he can't even count the accounts easily!
"It's not him!" Zhu Zhixian was a little surprised: "I never thought that Brother Ximen lived in this county, and I had never heard of this person's name!"
"I have some medicinal business dealings with Tanzhou. I overheard it once." Ximen Qing made some nonsense: "If this person is willing to come to my house and work as a bookkeeper, wouldn't it be a happy thing?"
When Zhu Zhixian saw what Ximen Qing said, he asked his master to directly find the fortune teller Jiang Jing and meet Ximen Qing. When he was young, Jiang Jing came happily and saluted Zhu Zhixian: "Brother called me, what's the matter?"
"Come on, come on!" County Magistrate Zhu introduced Ximen Qing: "This is a senior official from Ximen who runs a herbal medicine shop in this county. He is also a county lieutenant. His family is in need of an accountant. Brother Jiang Xian returned to his hometown, and the people around him are just doing farming.
, or teaching, not as good as..."
Before Zhu Zhixian finished speaking, Ximen Qing had already rushed forward and held Jiang Jing's hands: "I've heard about the name of the divine fortune teller for a long time! How can I be an accountant? Your brother is my brother!"
Jiang Jing, who had not yet understood the situation, was immediately confused. He had to say some polite words first: "Ah, that's great..." Feng smiled proudly and said: "According to the standards of the financial director."
"What is a financial director?" Jiang Jing was completely confused.
