Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 118 The peaches in Wuling County were stolen

The girl who greeted Fang Yuan was Zhao Zixuan, the only daughter of Zhao Yingcai.

"Girl, you have grown a lot taller."

Fang Yuan looked at Zhao Zixuan, and smiled softly.

After leaving last year, Zhao Zixuan is not as tall as she is now.

After a year, this girl is already slim, like a big girl.

"That's right, I'm fifteen this year."

"Mother said that I can get married within two years."

Zhao Zixuan said with a grin.

Two deep dimples appeared on her rosy cheeks.

The smile is sweet and contagious, smoothing away the hard work Fang Yuan and the others had suffered from the exhaustion.

"It's only fifteen, it's too early to marry."

Fang Yuan frowned slightly, shook his head and said.

According to the customs of the Tang Dynasty, women get married earlier, but Fang Yuan hoped that Zhao Zixuan would remarry a few years later.

"Yeah, I think so. Later, you can help me talk to my mother."

Zhao Zixuan nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice.

At this time, Zhao Yingcai and Yang Xiulan walked to the door to welcome Fang Yuan and others.

"Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao!"

Fang Yuan bowed to the two of them.

Zhang San and the others followed suit.

"I heard that something happened in Liaozhou. I thought you wouldn't come this year. Come in quickly."

"These are all your friends, please come in quickly."

Zhao Yingcai laughed loudly.

He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks like a big old man.

But after getting along, you will find that he is a careful person, and taught Fang Yuan a lot of ways to be an official back then.

Usually seeing Zhao Yingcai's appearance, it is hard to imagine how a person like him can give birth to such a cute and cute daughter as Zhao Zixuan.

Naturally, this is due to Yang Xiulan, a woman who is nearly 40 years old. Because she is well maintained, she looks only in her early thirties, with a charming charm.

"Inspector Zhao, Lu Xia and I came back too late this time, and it will take some time before we return to Wuling County, so we won't go in and sit down, please forgive me."

Zhang San said sincerely.

This time, it was delayed for two days because of the matter of the Wang family and his son.

There wasn't enough time to go back and forth, but now it's even less.

Therefore, he wanted to go back to Wuling County with Lu Xia earlier to reunite with his relatives, this was discussed with Fang Yuan in advance.

"It's okay, I can understand."

"Zhang San, Lu Xia, be careful on the road."

Zhao Yingcai did not force them to stay, and said politely.

Zhang San expressed his thanks, and Lu Xia saluted Zhao Yingcai and Fang Yuan before leaving.

"This is the Xue family siblings, Xue Jiaoyan and Xue Bowu, coming back with me this time for the New Year."

Fang Yuan briefly introduced.

Hongxu and Qingyi have accompanied Fang Yuan many times, so no introduction is needed.

"Okay, please come in."

Zhao Yingcai and his wife said politely.

"Uncle Zhao, your daughter really looks like you."

Xue Bowu touched his head and said with a silly smile.

When Fang Yuan heard this, they looked at Xue Bowu in surprise.

Even his sister Xue Jiaoyan was surprised and immediately wanted to curse.

Because people with a discerning eye will feel that the father and daughter are not alike at all.

"right?"

"I said it was very similar!"

Zhao Yingcai was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

He directly bumped away from Fang Yuan, and walked side by side with Xue Bowu.

"Yes, the eyebrows and nose are very similar, and the ears are also very similar."

Xue Bowu said firmly.

After saying that, he looked at Zhao Yingcai and Zhao Zixuan again, and nodded with more certainty.

"No, no?"

"Don't scare me!"

Zhao Zixuan was so frightened that she wanted to jump up.

My father's eyebrows are frighteningly thick, the place I least expect.

The nose is okay, it's a part she likes quite a bit, it's just that there are naughty nose hairs that sneak out occasionally.

Fang Yuan and Yang Xiulan expressed doubts about Xue Bowu's words, looked at Zhao Yingcai's father and daughter, they couldn't believe Xue Bowu's words.

"That's right, that's right, the eyebrows and the nose!"

"A bosom friend, really a bosom friend, little brother understands me!"

Zhao Yingcai smiled and said he was happier.

The big hand patted Xue Bowu's shoulder vigorously.

He likes to tell everyone that his daughter resembles him, the eyebrows and nose are the most similar, and there are not many people who can be trusted.

Now that I haven't introduced myself yet, I hear Xue Bowu's approval, and I am as happy as a child, and enter the mansion with Xue Bowu shoulder to shoulder.

"Jiaoyan, was your brother also good at talking like this before?"

Fang Yuan looked at Xue Bowu's back and asked in a low voice.

In memory, Xue Bowu has no other characteristics except that he likes to fight.

Usually he doesn't like to talk, and he almost asks and answers, unless he is facing Xue Jiaoyan.

"I, I'm definitely not my brother."

Xue Jiaoyan also expressed confusion.

It was the first time that my younger brother praised someone personally.

Did this silly brother get enlightened when he saw Zhao Yingcai with thick eyebrows and big eyes?

Soon, several people entered the living room.

The housekeeper of Zhao Mansion immediately asked someone to make tea, and prepared a room for Fang Yuan and the others.

Tea has not been popularized in Langzhou yet, but Zhao Yingcai already has tea here, and many local dignitaries also have tea.

"Little brother, you and I hit it off right away, it's not too late to see each other!"

Zhao Yingcai reluctantly parted with Xue Bowu.

He and Yang Xiulan returned to the main seats and sat down, while Xue Bowu and the others were in the guest seats.

"It was like old friends at first sight, and we never saw each other again, why don't we become brothers of the opposite sex."

Zhao Zixuan pursed her mouth, with a strange air of yin and yang.

She doesn't have any affection for Xue Bowu now.

People who can't speak at all are so annoying.

"What are you talking about, girl?"

Zhao Yingcai stared at her, pretending to be angry.

Zhao Zixuan stuck out her tongue at Zhao Yingcai, and sat next to Fang Yuan.

Afterwards, everyone chatted casually, talking about the hardships of the journey and miscellaneous daily life.

Suddenly, Zhao Yingcai sighed: "Fang Yuan, the peaches in Wuling County have been stolen, and Yao Kaicheng has been transferred to other places to be the county magistrate."

"Where is Yao Kaicheng transferred?"

Fang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, but soon he was relieved.

It is expected that Wuling County will be picked peaches.

In the past, Zhao Yingcai had concealed things like the cement roads in Wuling County, but after he was promoted and left, more people paid attention to Wuling County.

Although Zhao Yingcai is the governor of Langzhou and governs Wuling County, he is only a governor after all. Without the help of his family, it is impossible to see Wuling County being picked.

"A middle county in Henan Province, it's not too wronged him."

Zhao Yingcai sighed.

At that time, the transfer came to him first, but he rejected it.

But soon a new transfer was issued, and officials from the Ministry of Officials came in person.

Zhao Yingcai could only agree that Yao Kaicheng had gone to a new place to take up the post of county magistrate more than a month ago.

"Be careful, Wuling County is still under your control."

Fang Yuan comforted.

He knew that it was not Yao Kaicheng who was wronged, but Zhao Yingcai.

Although Yao Kaicheng was not able to enjoy the benefits of Wuling County, transferring to other counties is equivalent to gaining an extra level of experience in Wuling County here, making it easier to get promoted in the future.

However, the Ministry of Officials directly parachuted the county magistrate to Wuling County, and did not seem to care much about Zhao Yingcai's opinion. This was neglect of Zhao Yingcai, and Zhao Yingcai was wronged.

"You are right."

"What you did in Liaozhou really scared me."

Zhao Yingcai quickly changed his happy expression.

"It's just forced by the situation."

Fang Yuan shook his head and sighed.

What happened in Liaozhou really had a great impact, even Langzhou knew about it.

It seems that after the New Year, there will be many problems after returning to work.

"What to do?"

Seeing that Fang Yuan didn't answer, Zhao Zixuan interrupted.

She looked at Fang Yuan and Zhao Yingcai with her mind, very curious.

"Don't tell you."

Fang Yuan smiled at her and said.

"If you don't tell me, I'll beat you."

Zhao Zixuan clenched her small fist and said threateningly.

Zhao Yingcai and Yang Xiulan looked at each other with more cordial smiles.

"It's terrible, can this fist hurt people?"

Fang Yuan shook his head and laughed.

"You, you make fun of me."

Zhao Zixuan's face turned red, and her fists hit Fang Yuan's body like raindrops.

"Okay, Xuan'er has to stop messing around!"

"Girls should be gentle and virtuous."

Yang Xiulan stopped her and gave her a glare.

Zhao Zixuan snorted, and gave Fang Yuan a vicious look, as if saying that it was all your fault.

Not long after, it was already lunch time, and the housekeeper had already prepared lunch, so he came to ask if he wanted to eat.

Everyone moved to a place, had dinner together, and drank some wine.

But I have to say that the alcohol content in the Tang Dynasty is too low, it is really similar to beer.

After a few cups, Fang Yuan's stomach grew a lot, but he didn't feel drunk at all, while Zhao Yingcai's face turned red, he talked more, and complained about some things that didn't go well.

Yang Xiulan looked embarrassed, and finally supported Zhao Yingcai to go back to rest, only Fang Yuan, Zhao Zixuan and Xue Jiaoyan were left at the dinner table.

"Brother Yuan, can you help me?"

Zhao Zixuan looked around, approached Fang Yuan and said secretly.

The Xue family siblings didn't know if they heard it, but they were wolfing it down.

I really gobbled it up, feeling like a starving ghost, for fear of eating less.

Just now Zhao Yingcai and his wife were still a little restrained, but now that they are gone, they are simply grabbing food.

It was the same when the two were in Fang Mansion, Fang Yuan said that they didn't correct it several times.

"You speak first."

Fang Yuan didn't agree immediately.

Seeing Zhao Zixuan talking to herself in such a low voice, she knew it was not a good thing.

"Help me teach some bad guys a lesson!"

Zhao Zixuan said angrily.

Silver teeth gritted, probably because he was really angry.

But Fang Yuan still didn't agree, but looked at Zhao Zixuan, waiting for her next words.

"They are so hateful. They always say that the mother is useless and can't have a son!"

"You even slandered daddy in private, saying that daddy would have no successors, it made me mad!"

Zhao Zixuan said bitterly.

The eye sockets slowly become moist.

The nose also becomes reddish as a result.

"Whose child is so ignorant?!"

Fang Yuan's eyes turned cold, he said in a deep voice.

Zhao Yingcai and Yang Xiulan have only one daughter.

And Zhao Yingcai has only one wife, Yang Xiulan, and no concubine.

In the Tang Dynasty, high-ranking officials without concubines were rare, and Zhao Yingcai was one of them.

At the same time, in the Tang Dynasty, it was easy to be ridiculed if there was no son, and it would be considered as the last generation, etc.

"It's those bastards from the Yang family."

"It seems that they also snatched the county magistrate of Wuling County."

Zhao Zixuan clenched her fist and said.

"Go, take me to teach them a lesson!"

Fang Yuan's expression darkened, and he said in a deep voice.

The Yang family in Zhao Zixuan's mouth is Yang Xiulan's natal family.

But this natal family is actually quite special, because Yang Xiulan was picked up by a widow and a widow from the Yang family.

And the widow and widow who raised Yang Xiulan passed away a few years ago, so the relationship between Yang Xiulan and the Yang family became complicated.

It is said to be her natal family, but it is not like her natal family. The key is that this identity not only does not get the support of the Yang family, but limits Zhao Yingcai in some ways.

It is estimated that Zhao Yingcai drank too much because he thought of these troubles just now.

"go!"

Zhao Zixuan stood up, clenched her fists and said.

"Bo Wu, keep up!"

Fang Yuan stood up, said in a deep voice.

Xue Bowu, who was eating, was reluctant to follow, and took a chicken leg before leaving the table.

"Wait for me, wait for me."

Xue Jiaoyan shouted.

But the sound was creaking.

She kept chopping rice and stuffed her mouth.

Before leaving, he stuffed the two specially reserved chicken wings into his mouth.

At this moment, her mouth is bulging, and she has a chicken wing on one side, which is strange.

Soon, everyone came to the gate of the Yang Mansion.

This is a mansion no less than the Zhao Mansion, majestic and majestic.

At this moment, several young people who were about the same age as Zhao Zixuan walked out of Yang's mansion.

"Yo, I thought I was mistaken. It turns out that Zhao Xiaoniu, who has no younger brother, is here."

A young man said strangely.

As she said that, she stretched out her hand to Zhao Zixuan, wanting to tease Zhao Zixuan.

The other youngsters laughed, as if this kind of thing was not uncommon.

"Yang Hongsheng, you bastard!"

"I don't have a younger brother, but I have an older brother!"

"Today, my brother will teach you a lesson so that you will regret bullying me!"

Zhao Zixuan hid behind Fang Yuan and said softly.

"Brother? Puff, hahaha, we've never heard of you having a brother!"

Yang Hongsheng was taken aback, then looked at Fang Yuan, laughed loudly.

It is well known that Governor Zhao has no son, so it is impossible for Zhao Zixuan to have a brother.

"You haven't heard of it, it's because your news is blocked."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

"who are you?"

"Dare to be arrogant at the door of Yang's house?"

Yang Hongsheng's eyes suddenly became ugly.

The young men who came out with him also looked at Fang Yuan with hostility.

"Are you deaf or blind? Didn't my sister make it very clear?"

Fang Yuan hehe hehe smiled.

For these young people, Fang Yuan can choose freely.

It's just a little embarrassing to bully the small with the big.

"You're blind, you're deaf, draw a circle and compare!"

Yang Hongsheng blushed suddenly and said angrily.

After all, he is a young man, he is no longer calm after being humiliated at will.

"How to compare?"

Fang Yuan frowned and said frivolously.

"Draw a circle, we stand inside, we can't use weapons, we use arbitrary means, whoever gets out of the circle loses!"

"If you lose, apologize to me, and you have to compensate me for the usual copper coins!"

Yang Hongsheng rushed to the street angrily, picked up a branch and drew a big circle.

The other Yang family youngsters booed one after another, looking at Fang Yuan provocatively.

"Consistently, so much?!"

"Brother, Yang Hongsheng is very powerful."

Zhao Zixuan was suddenly a little worried.

When Yang Hongsheng and the others heard this, their arrogance grew even higher.

"What if you lose?"

Fang Yuan didn't answer, he said calmly.

"I, if I lose"

Yang Hongsheng originally wanted to say that he would not lose, after all he had never lost.

But seeing that Fang Yuan is not only older than himself in terms of age and stature, the words stuck in his throat.

For a moment, he felt a little stage fright and regretted the decision he just made.

"I'm older than you, and I can knock you down with one hand. I won't bully you. How do you compare with my friends?"

Fang Yuan seemed to see Yang Hongsheng's worry, and pulled Xue Bowu out.

"That's the best!"

Yang Hongsheng snorted, full of confidence.

Xue Bowu looked about the same age as him, and was thin, so he didn't care at all.

Such a person, Yang Hongsheng felt that he could defeat him with one hand.

"If you lose, apologize to my sister, and you can't bully her in the future, and you can't say that she doesn't have a brother!"

Fang Yuan only raised his opinion at this time.

"If he can beat me, not only will I not bully her in the future, but I will not allow others to bully her!"

Yang Hongsheng snorted coldly.
