A poor family counterattacks, she is beautiful and sassy on the way to the imperial examination

Chapter 153 Chapter 153
Luo Ruisheng and Ma Xiang, who stayed behind and did not follow the other big landlords, were both quick-witted and cautious.

Luo Ruisheng was almost 40 years old, and Ma Xiang was only in his 30s. They were both aggressive and cautious in doing things, and they didn't want to annoy An Chuxia, the legitimate county magistrate of Wei County at this time.

Xu Liangce didn't dare to look at An Chuxia any more after Du Lengshuang left, and only said, "I'll go home and discuss with my father to see how much food I can bring for you.

You'd better think of a way by yourself, even if I bring all the food from the family, it's still not enough for you to pay taxes and food this year. "

An Chuxia's eyes flickered for a moment, and it was only then that he realized that this young man was probably not as heartless as outsiders saw him.

Before leaving, Luo Ruisheng and Ma Xiang both said they would donate food to the Yamen, they didn't say how much, they just said that they would go home and see how much food was in stock before making a decision.

Chen Xiancheng heard that most of the big households were unwilling to borrow or donate food to An Chuxia, the female county magistrate, and happily ate two more bowls of rice.

As for those big households with no winks, wait until he drives out the county magistrate, then find a chance to deal with them properly.

When the people he ordered burned down the county government's granary, Chen Xiancheng stabbed the matter to Fucheng, and the granary under the jurisdiction of the law was burned down.

Even if the newly appointed Huangmaoyatou county magistrate is not sentenced to death, at least he will be sentenced to exile.

Anyway, everyone in the yamen knew that he was sick and asked for leave. Even if he, the county magistrate, was responsible for this matter, the responsibility he should bear was relatively small.

Besides, his daughter is the concubine of Tongzhi in Bei'an Fucheng, and she has children, even for their sake, that adult will not ignore him.

During this period, An Chuxia was sending people to secretly collect a large amount of criminal evidence from Chen Xiancheng, and resold the Changping food stored by the government, which was life-saving food for the people in the famine.

Privately ordered the officials to collect more taxes and food from the common people, set up exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes under clever pretexts, and exploited the common people and traders.

Even those cronies who brought him did some immoral things, and what was even more hateful was Chen Wenchao, Chen Xiancheng's nephew.

It's not the only time that a family was ruined in order to take over a girl.

It's just that some people see him so cruel and violent, even if the girl and daughter-in-law in the family are bullied, they can only choose to swallow his anger.

It's not that Chen Xiancheng himself has never done such a thing. After so many years, Wei County has no serious county magistrate to suppress him.

Chen Xiancheng's whole body has long been inflated, thinking that the whole Wei County is within his applause, whether it is money or women, how he wants to play recklessly depends on his mood.

During this period of time, An Chuxia looked haggard because of the food, and took people everywhere to borrow food from others.

This day, An Chuxia brought Zuo Wang and Zhu Tiehua, and just came back from a big merchant in the county. Of course, borrowing food and money was also rejected.

An Chuxia took Zuo Wang and Zhu Tiehua and was about to leave the big merchant's house when she was stopped by a beautifully dressed woman.

Take a closer look at An Chuxia, it seems that some people are determined to go on the wrong path, and you can't stop them even if you want to.

Although there is not much money in 20 years, plus the monthly money she usually saves, it is a good way out whether she finds something to do honestly or finds an honest man to marry.

But there are some people who want to live a rich life, but they are not willing to work hard, and their background is not enough.

Relying on my little beauty to get such a colorful life, it will only be like the moon in the mirror, so how can it last for a long time.

Wearing a full head of pearl flowers, emerald rings, and delicate heavy makeup, Liu Xue has a delicate little face, as if she already knows where An Chuxia is now.

Clearly gloating on his face, he said in a soft and artificial voice: "I heard that Master An has had a very bad time because of the burning of the county government warehouse.

Why don't you come to me earlier, maybe I can help persuade my master, he will be willing to lend you some food for emergency.

Now that you have come to the door yourself and been rejected, it is hard for me to persuade you. "

"It's not easy to persuade, so don't try to persuade you! You are not a serious lady with your coquettish appearance. I'm afraid it would be a waste of saliva to persuade you."

Zhu Tiehua's mouth has never won against Du Lengshuang, a bad friend, but if he is in front of someone he doesn't like, he can still beat him to death.

Liu Xue wanted to say some harsh words to Zhu Tiehua, but when she saw her standing there with a cold face and her left hand on the handle of the knife hanging at her waist, she felt a little apprehensive.

Liu Xue looked at An Chuxia who was still looking at her like before, for some reason, she always felt that her gaze was cold.

Seeing a few people ignoring her and passing by, she stomped her feet angrily, and said angrily from behind: "It's also a woman, why are you so superior, you deserve it because you don't have food to go to work.

In the end, she was not the same as me, a slave and a handmaiden, reduced to a plaything of powerful men. "

An Chuxia turned her head with cold and sharp eyes, Liu Xue suddenly met such eyes, and her heart shivered.

She has never seen anyone's gaze so sharp, like a real sword, that it makes people feel like their heart has been pierced.

Out of the corner of An Chuxia's eyes, she saw a dignified lady standing in the corridor behind the rockery. She should be the wife of this big merchant.

Seeing her sharp eyes, staring at Liu Xue who was still at a loss, An Chuxia knew that Liu Xue's life would not be easy in the future.

When An Chuxia returned to the yamen, Master Gou Yuantong saw her returning dejectedly, a flash of complacency flashed across her face, and then she returned to a worried look.

"My lord, still haven't raised food?

It's almost the end of the month, if you don't pay the taxes and rations before November, the higher-ups will come to question you, what should I do! "

An Chuxia waved to him with a mournful face, and walked towards the rear office with heavy steps.

Seeing that the deadline for paying the grain tax had passed, Chen Xiancheng came to the county government office in full glory that day, not like someone who had just had a serious illness.

At this time, no matter what he said or did, he lost all respect for An Chuxia, thinking that if he couldn't pay the taxes, Fucheng would send people to arrest this girl soon and question her.

Chen Xiancheng sat on the main seat in the county government office, and An Chuxia didn't argue with him, so he found a seat at random.

Her attitude made Chen Xiancheng proud to think that An Chuxia already knew her situation, that's why she avoided him like this.

This allowed Chen Xiancheng to find again, the old days when there was no county magistrate to suppress him, and he could do whatever he wanted.

Just when Chen Xiancheng was extremely proud, he received a letter from himself to be a concubine's daughter to a fellow prefect in Fucheng.

After reading the letter, he fell down on the chair in his study, unable to recover for a long time.

He couldn't help muttering to himself: "How could this happen?!"
