my wife is a consul

Chapter 266
There is a village called Shilipu more than 20 miles south of Jordan Town. Most of the people in the village have the surname Xu, and almost all of them are tenant farmers from the family of Mr. Xu, the largest family in the village.

The Xu family also had the most shares among the minority shareholders of Cao's mining industry, with [-]% of the shares.

It was the Xu family who took the lead when the small shareholders made troubles, and Xu Dazhong, the eldest son of the Xu family, came forward. Most of the troublemakers were farmers from Shilipu, and they chose young and strong men to take them away.

Now, Lu Ming is sitting in the flower hall of Xu's mansion.

The one who came forward to receive him was Xu Dazhong, in his early forties, with triangular eyes and an unkind face.

Lu Ming also didn't talk much, and it was Cao Jiaxing, Cao Jiashun's third brother, who was arguing with Xu Dazhong.

The reason is that the stock transaction has been completed, and the original market price is considered a high price. Regardless of the law or the reason, your Xu family has no reason to go back on its word.

Xu Dazhong just sneered, and suddenly said: "How about this, give me another 50 yuan, and I won't get involved in these things!" Looking at Lu Ming, he smiled and said, "Boss Lu, 50 yuan is for your boss. Say, it’s a drop in the bucket?!”

Cao Jiaxing's face darkened slightly, "Dazhong, you don't open your mouth like you. If you want to say, 50, you will share a share. If you don't make trouble in the future, maybe there is still talk! You want 50? Isn't it fair? You are too much!"

Xu Dazhong spread his hands: "It seems that we have nothing to talk about."

Lu Ming smiled, "Since there's nothing to talk about, let's talk about business." He gestured.

Huang Guirong, who was standing behind him, took two steps forward, "Mr. Xu Dazhong, on behalf of our client, Xu Niuzi, I request you to testify in court for Mr. Xu Niuzi as a witness."

Xu Dazhong was puzzled, "Xu Niuzi? You don't mean that idiot in our village, right? He's going to sue? How come I don't know about the affairs of this village? What proof do I need?"

Huang Guirong smiled: "It's like this. The 5 mu of land in Shilipu belonged to Xu Niuzi's ancestors before 869, but in 869, the Longgang County Office at that time issued a special decree to use the land of Xu Niuzi's family It was expropriated at a very low price, and sold to your grandfather at the same price three years later. We checked the relevant information and found that this was a planned plunder. Therefore, our law firm has represented my client, Mr. Xu Niuzi , filed a lawsuit with the Longgang Court, requesting the county office to return the land to my client Xu Niuzi.”

"Nonsense!" Xu Dazhong snorted. "It's almost 100 years ago. It seems that there is a statute of limitations for a lawsuit, right?"

Huang Guirong smiled slightly: "We are asking the county office to correct the mistakes of the administrative order 80 years ago and make corresponding compensation. As for whether the judge will accept it, it depends on what the judge thinks. Now, the judge has agreed to hold a hearing to listen to the opinions of all parties. , and then decide whether the case is eligible to go to court, the county office also has a special board of supervisors to deal with this kind of incident, so, as a member of the family that owns this land today, your testimony is also very important."

"Let's go!" Xu Dazhong couldn't understand what the woman was saying, he just wanted to drive them away, and he was inexplicably upset, feeling that this matter might really be troublesome.

Cao Jiaxing was also a little confused over there, and he didn't know it at all.

Seeing Lu Ming get up and walk out, he smiled at Xu Dazhong: "Dazhong, think for yourself." He turned around and chased after him.

……

Returning to Jordan Town from Shilipu, unexpectedly, two uninvited guests came to visit the lotus garden.

When they saw Lu Ming, a Western couple who looked like a golden boy and a jade girl stood up in the flower hall and called them "uncle" respectfully.

Introducing myself, I am Wells, the grandson of Governor Chuckson, and Susan, his granddaughter-in-law.

"Uncle, Aunt Windsor mentioned you and said that you can help Wells." Susan looked a little cautious, and said: "My family and Aunt Windsor's family are distant relatives, and only on holy festivals, my family is eligible to visit Aunt Windsor's house, but a few days ago, I went to see Aunt Windsor specially for Wells, but I didn't expect my aunt to meet me. Now that I think about it, my aunt probably heard that I went back from Jiangning. "

In the past two days, Lu Ming was focusing on investigating Wells, but he knew that his wife was from a baronial family in the imperial capital.

It's just strange, it seems that it doesn't match Wells' personality. After all, he is the grandson of the earl. If there are not too many accidents, he will also be an earl in the future, marrying the lowest noble family, unlike his character. Judging from all signs, this mighty Charles, very ambitious.

But it turns out that the Susan family and the Windsor family are distantly related, which is no wonder.

But Susan's words are very honest, which can be regarded as a skill, which makes people feel good.

She bluntly said that she couldn't talk to Aunt Windsor at all, but Aunt Windsor only met her because she heard that it was about Jiang Ning.

Lu Ming took a sip from his teacup, and said with a smile, "How can I help you? I'm in a mess right now!"

Wells remained silent, and it could be seen that he was still very proud in his heart, and he had reached the limit of humiliation by barely calling himself "uncle", after all, he was obviously a few years younger than him.

If he begs himself or something, he won't be able to say it.

Therefore, Madam Susan did it for her. Susan said softly: "Uncle, aunt and niece have said that you will definitely be able to help niece. Wells' grandfather wants him to go back to the imperial capital, but he doesn't want to go back. Uncle, you There must be a way, right?" Blue eyes full of hope stared at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming smiled: "It's not difficult. I've heard a little bit about your affairs. The main thing is Madam Hu. Wells, you just need to bow your head to Madam Hu and ask her a few words. Madam Hu will see that you are obedient, and you will understand." Help you speak in front of grandpa to make it appear that she actually wants to be a family with you, the descendants of the original spouse."

Wells' eyes lit up when he heard Lu Ming mention "Mrs. Hu", and the lawyer Lu in front of him actually knew something about his family, which made him suddenly feel that this trip might not be in vain.

But when I heard the back, I couldn't help shaking my head, and said sullenly: "I just scolded that woman face to face...how could she speak for me?"

Lu Ming smiled: "That's easy to handle, you take a chance when the Governor and Madam Hu are together, go and apologize to Madam Hu in person, then apologize to the Governor, and then tell the Governor why you don't want to leave .”

"Of course, the attitude must be sincere, and the reasons for not wanting to leave should also be carefully thought about."

"If you can't do this, then go back to the imperial capital, and if you stay, you won't be able to beat the Hu family."

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Wells' face was cloudy and uncertain. At the last sentence, his face changed even more, and he looked at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming smiled: "The Hu family is also trying to drive me away, so I hope you can stay, but it depends on your ability." He said again: "The reason for thinking is that it is best to let the governor Montenegro sent you an errand."

To be honest, this world is boring when it comes to historical allusions.

Unlike my previous life, all kinds of palace fights are endless, and there are many places where royal clans and foreign relatives fight.

How to handle the state of mind of the queen of sequels, I can learn a few tricks from reading history books in my previous life.

Seeing the increasingly surprised expression on Wells' face, it was obvious that he gradually understood why he had to apologize sincerely to that woman in front of his grandfather.

Lu Ming smiled inwardly, he could save himself a lot of trouble by relying on the "children of the clan" to fight against his relatives.
