Chapter 273 The Benefits of a Prosperous Population

Xiao Qilang's full moon banquet was very lively this time, and the guests who came to the banquet watched the excitement even more.They were all curious, who was the family who came here to make trouble and were kicked out in embarrassment?Which girl from the Xiao family's husband's family dared to offend Mrs. Xiao's most valued cousin, Xiao Qilang?

Under the trend of gossip, Wanjia's information was quickly leaked out.Almost overnight, flowers exploded in several surrounding counties.

The lady who wanted to reconcile with Wan's family turned out to be the younger sister of that benevolent Mrs. Xiao.

Of course, many things about Wanjia also spread.For example, Wan Guan has married three wives in a row, but he is nearly forty years old but still has no children.For example, he came back from outside some time ago and brought back a woman who was pregnant with a child.

Another example is that his Ming Geke wife has already killed his previous two wives and a fiancée.

For another example, the reason why Xiao's family was so angry was because Xiao Shiliuniang was treated inhumanely by Wan's family.She was obviously the wife of the Ming media, but she was forced to demote herself to be a concubine, giving way to a concubine brought by her husband from outside.Because he didn't agree, he was abused by his husband's family. When he was taken back by his mother's family, he was only half alive.

Someone said: "For a kind person like Mrs. Xiao, her younger sister must also be a kind little lady. How could she be with such a man who is not as good as an animal?"

Someone said: "I heard that there are members of the Wan family in the Yuliang County government, so they have the confidence to directly bully the Xiao family. They dare to disregard the law and degrade the main wife into a concubine. What a good lady Xiao, Those black-hearted people who bully such a kind person will definitely be punished by heaven!"

Someone said: "I heard that Mrs. Xiao is still living alone with her children. It is also because of bad luck in her early years that she met a man who is even worse than Wan Guan. She was heartbroken, so she dared not remarry."

Someone else said: "When Xiao Shiliuniang successfully escapes from that unscrupulous husband's family this time, I will go ask her to marry her!"

……

In short, there are all kinds of opinions, and most of them favor the Xiao family and condemn the Wan family.Even Xiao Qilang's attack on Wan Guan in public was considered too light, and such a scumbag should be beaten to death.

This is the so-called celebrity effect.Fourteen is a great kind person recognized by the people, so her family members must also be kind people, and they must not be people who do bad things.

Because of the favoritism of public opinion, everyone in the Xiao family became more confident and supported Xiao Qilang's decision even more.

Maybe after this incident, the girls of Xiao's family will be more valued in their husband's family, because they have a mother's family that they can rely on.

"Shisi, when are we going to Wan's house?" On the second day of Full Moon Wine, Xiao Qilang came to Shisi's house, "Everyone in the family is ready, and I'm just waiting for you to speak."

"How is Liuniang recovering from her injury?" Fourteen asked.

"It's so easy to be hurt for a hundred days." Xiao Qilang sighed, "But it's much better. When I went to see her yesterday, she was able to move around on crutches by herself."

"Can you go to Wanjia together?"

"What? You want Sixteen Niang to go to Wan's house?" Xiao Qilang was puzzled, "She hasn't healed from her injuries, so what if I hurt her again?"

"With me here, no one will touch her."

"You want to go in person too?" Fourteen One said at the beginning that he let him go and do it, and she supported them behind.Xiao Qilang thought Shisi would not show up.

"Yeah." Fourteen didn't say much, just said, "It happens to be free."

"Alright then." Xiao Qilang naturally wouldn't object, "With you here, it's even better. But will this have any bad influence on you?"

Fourteen looked at him suspiciously.

"You are a good person praised by everyone now, so go with us, what should you do if there are any bad rumors?" Xiao Qilang worried, "If you are affected by this, it will be bad."

"Cousin don't have to worry about this." Fourteen didn't care, "I'm a human being, not a Bodhisattva. Human beings have seven emotions and six desires."

"But……"

"And it's tiring to maintain a false personality, I just be myself, what other people think is their business."

"...Okay then." Xiao Qilang knew that Shisi had her own thoughts, he thought for a while and said, "Shishi, no matter what others think of you, but my cousin knows that you are a good person."

"puff."

"Don't laugh, I'm serious." Xiao Qilang said solemnly, "You are not only a good person, but also a tolerant and soft-hearted person. You..."

"Cousin, are you trying to praise me? If so, then stop." Fourteen decisively interrupted Xiao Qilang, "I'm most afraid of listening to those nasty words, and I'm even more afraid of those words that acquaintances tell me. So you just know that I'm good. No need to say it."

"...You, you." Xiao Qilang smiled helplessly and fondly after listening to Fourteen's rare witticism, "All right, all right, I know, I know it in my heart, but don't say it, that's fine."

……

The Xiao family planned to go to Wanjia on the third day after the full moon wine, but before they could go there, the other party came to the door first.

It wasn't the Wan family who came, but a government servant from Yuliang County.A group of four went directly to the gate of Xiao Qilang's house.

"You are Xiao Qilang? Someone sued you for beating someone for no reason, come with us."

When the yamen servant said this, he would come up to fight people.

"Hey!" Xiao Qilang reacted after being stunned, and pushed away the person who stretched out his hand, "Who sued me? Who did I hit? He came up to arrest people for no apparent reason. What does this mean?"

While retreating into the yard, Xiao Qilang winked at Xiao Yuhe and Xiao Shuchang who ran out after hearing the noise, telling them to go out and call for someone.

The two children were very clever, and immediately rushed out when they caught their eyes.

Xiao Shuchang: "You go to the third grandpa's house and call uncle and the others. I'll go to my aunt's house."

"it is good!"

Xiao Yuhe ran to Xiao Shou's house which was nearby, while Xiao Shuchang ran to the [-]th house outside the village.

Xiao Dalang and Xiao Wulang brothers came quickly, just in time to see the four yamen servants trying to pull Xiao Qilang out forcefully, while Xiao Qilang was holding on to the door frame firmly.

"What are you doing?"

"stop!"

"Let me go!"

"Qiao Niang, I'm fine, don't move forward!"

The Xiao Wulang brothers yelled at the four yamen servants, while Xiao Qilang worriedly yelled at Tian Qiao who came out of the house, for fear that she would get hurt if she moved forward.

The houses of the Xiao family were all next to each other, and within a short time, everyone who could come came.The four yamen servants faced seven or eight brothers, and their momentum was instantly suppressed.

"Why do you arrest people? What law did Qilang break?"

"Xiao Qilang beat others for no reason, we came here to take people back for interrogation. What are you doing, are you obstructing official duties?"

"Are you from Yuliang County?" Xiao Qilang asked, "Wan Guan is the person you're talking about suing me?"

"Exactly!" The yamen servant thought Xiao Qilang was afraid.

"I'm from Huangliang County, even if I committed a crime, people from our county will come to find me, when will it be your Yuliang County's turn to take care of it?" Who knows that Xiao Qilang didn't buy it at all, "The management is really lenient! "

"you……"

"That's right, when is it your Yuliang County's turn to arrest people from our Huangliang County?" Xiao Shishilang took advantage of the situation and said, "Do you dare to go to our yamen to argue?"

"Xiao Qilang beat people from my Yuliang County, and it was Yuliang County's magistrate who reported to the officials! You gangsters, how dare you obstruct the official business."

"Is it official business or your selfishness?" Xiao Qilang persuaded Tian Qiao to take a few steps back with his eyes, before arguing with the visitor at ease, "Who sent you here? I heard that Wan Guan has a brother-in-law who is an official in the county government. Is he your immediate boss?"

"Shut up nonsense!"

"Am I talking nonsense, you know it in your heart."

After a while, not only the Xiao family came, but other people in the village were also attracted by the movement here.

Let alone arresting people now, the four yamen servants began to worry about their personal safety.

A dynasty of flowing water, a family of a thousand years.This era is still a clan society, and the government can only discuss it politely when it encounters local big clans.

This group of yamen servants is at the bottom of the bureaucracy and they deal with the common people most often.They also understand best that even if they are not rich and powerful, but ordinary people with a prosperous family, they cannot easily cause conflicts.

But before they came, they didn't expect the Xiao family to have such a big family and such a prosperous population.

……

Fourteen was not at home, and Lin San, who just came back to pick up his things, brought Xiao Yuhe to the gate of Xiao Qilang's house, only to see the excitement that had already ended.

The yamen servants had long since disappeared, and the remaining crowd gathered in twos and threes were discussing fresh gossip as they walked towards their homes.
