Chapter 34 Chen Huaijin

Maybe it was because the county office was too busy in the morning, or maybe it was something else.It wasn't until noon the next day, after lunch, that Xue Zhen calmly sent his servants to the county government office with name cards.

After the servants left, Xue Biao, who was full of doubts, quickly asked Xue Zhen, "Father, didn't you say that we want to save shopkeeper He? Why didn't you choose to come to the door in person?"

Since Xue Zhen taught him a lesson yesterday, Xue Biao's thoughts are finally not limited to books.I began to try to think about the deep meaning of my father's daily words and deeds.

Xue Zhen was very relieved to see such signs of his son, and naturally hit the rails while it was hot: "It is because we want to save people that we have to submit a name card first. If we come to the door to ask for guilt, we can go there openly, and the county magistrate will not feel that our Xue family is putting on airs.

Think about it for yourself, what kind of reaction will the county magistrate have when we voted for a famous post. "

Xue Biao picked up the teacup and poured it into Xue Zhen's cup. After careful consideration in his heart, he asked, "The county magistrate would like to see us."

"That's why he wants to talk to us." Xue Zhen picked up a quick melon and took a bite, which was served by Xiao Er at noon, "Try it, it's quite sweet."

Xue Biao didn't have any intention of eating, but said nervously: "What if I refuse directly?"

Xue Zhen smiled and said: "That means there is nothing to talk about, and less embarrassment will be felt if we see each other less. We father and son will pack up and go back to Jinling, so we can go back early and report to the head of the family, saying that her person is involved. Or invite her precious brother out."

In the end, it was full of sarcasm.I don't know who this feeling is for.

"Then if you neither see nor refuse."

"This problem is still the same." Xue Zhen nodded, very satisfied with his son's cleverness, "Think about it yourself."

Xue Biao stood up and walked around the room with his hands behind his back, "Ask for money?" Xue Biao shook his head, "If you ask for money, you can talk to us." He vetoed an answer, and he thought hard, "Maybe, the county magistrate is thinking, how should we talk to us?"

"Why?" Xue Zhen picked up the teacup and took a sip with a very leisurely expression.

"After all, our four families in Jinling are united in the same spirit. There are two princes of the Jia family on the top, and there is an elder sister of the Jia family in the palace. There is an uncle from the Wang family serving in the court. The county magistrate is hesitating?"

Xue Biao stood still, like a child who had solved a lantern riddle, excitedly waiting for his elders' comments.

"You idiot, today is our Xue family, not the Jia family, nor the Wang family. If he is jealous of this, why not welcome us to the county government office immediately?" Xue Zhen said angrily, and Xue Biao stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.

"Continue to think about it. Also, don't use words like sympathy and connection in the future when it's just you and me. Dad doesn't like it very much."

"Oh." Xue Biao nodded, since this is not the case, then it is not, he suddenly had a thought, "Father, is the county magistrate waiting?"

"Oh? Then what is he waiting for?" Xue Zhen finally became interested and looked at his dog.

Xue Biao frowned, and said hesitantly, "What does he mean by waiting for others? Waiting... waiting for the person above?"

"Hahahaha. I just said that I can't give birth to such a stupid child." Xue Zhen pulled Xue Biao to her face and pinched his cheek lovingly.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Xue Zhen hastened to mention his own silly son, some things that Xue Biao never cared about in his life in the past.At this moment, after Xue Zhen's detailed analysis, it really opened his eyes.

"dong dong dong"

"Master, Master, I'm back."

An untimely knock on the door interrupted the affectionate scene of licking the calf.The two father and son sat down in their seats, Xue Zhen said, "Come in."

When the servant entered the house, Xue Zhen asked him, "What did the county magistrate say?"

"He didn't say anything, and he didn't see his face. He posted a post on the door, and was called back by the official."

Xue Zhen and Xue Biao couldn't help looking at each other and smiling.

"Understood, you go down." Xue Biao waved at the servant, and did not find a reason to punish him because the servant failed to do something.

The county magistrate Xu was sitting in the lobby of the county government office, with a mirror hanging above his head, playing with the name card that Xue's servants had just brought in.Master Shaoxing at the side didn't look angry when he saw County Magistrate Xu's playful face.Just stepped forward and said.

"My lord, how long shall we keep the Xue family waiting this time?"

The county magistrate Xu didn't answer immediately when he heard it, but just opened the name post.Seeing the rows of titles, he closed them angrily and threw them on the public case, "It's so dark, it makes people angry just looking at it."

Master Shaoxing heard that there was nothing else to worry about, so he hurried forward to show his loyalty, "My lord, do you want me to arrange some..."

"Nonsense. After all, he is serving in the palace. There is no need to make trouble with us. We are waiting for the prefect's reply."

County magistrate Xu shook his head, he can show his smart side in many things.But when it's time to pretend to be stupid, it will behave clumsier than most people.He is a Juren who passed the examination based on his real talents and knowledge, so naturally he doesn't care about the Xue family.If Jia Wang and his like came, he might stand up to greet him.

But the matter of the Xue family is a trouble after all.It is also necessary to consider the attitude of the magistrate towards the Xue family, it is better to let the superiors make the decision in person.

County magistrate Xu felt a headache thinking about it, so he simply asked the master, "Is there no good news recently?"

"Indeed, there is one thing. Yesterday the mansion sent a mansion newspaper, which stated the results of this mansion examination." Master Shaoxing came forward with a smile to congratulate.

Xu Ping knew at a glance that the students in his county had got good grades in the exam, so he hurriedly said, "Bring it up quickly." The master was also prepared, took out the residence newspaper from his sleeve, and handed it to the adults.Xu Pingzhi originally thought that he would have to spend some effort to find it, but he didn't know that he opened the Dibaofu to try a page, and the first line read: The head of the case, Chen Heng (Taixing County).

"Hahahahahaha." Xu Pingzhi clapped his hands and laughed loudly. This is really a person sitting at home, joy coming from heaven.Unexpectedly, the schoolboy, who was a little careless, also learned that the master of the government looked at him differently. "It is indeed good news."

"Just one more bad news." Master Shao Xing crossed his hands in embarrassment.

"What is it?"

"Chen Heng's second uncle is still locked up in our county prison because of Heng Shudian's affairs."

"Is that the waiter?" Xu Pingzhi asked suspiciously, he still remembered that this mistress had a very nice name.

"It's him. Now the chief case in our county has won the No. 1 government examination, and he has earned a great reputation for our county. His uncle, how should we deal with it?"

"How difficult is it?" Xu Pingzhi put down the newspaper with a smile, and said, "Left and right."

"exist."

"Pull Chen Huaijin to the front of the hall, and play twenty big boards first."

"Yes."

Immediately, two officials turned around and ran out.The master was also dumbfounded when he saw it, and couldn't understand what his own Dong Weng meant for a while.

"It's okay, when this Chen Heng comes to the county government, he still has to thank us."

Oh, that's what it means.The master nodded, he had figured out what the adults were thinking.Hurry up and arrange for someone to hit the board for a while, and you must hit it as it should be, don't use too much force, and beat the person to death directly.

Not long after, a miserable cry came from the county government office.

When Chen Huaijin was suffering in the hall of the county government, the caravan carrying Chen Heng and Chen Qi finally arrived in Taixing County.Pay the other half of the money at the post station at the gate of the city.Chen Heng pulled Chen Qi and ran towards the county government.Uncle Zhang, who was lagging behind, had to catch up with the two father and son's luggage alone.

A group of people finally came to the gate of the county government, but Chen Qi encountered difficulties.He had never had this opportunity in his life, and last time he just stood outside from a distance, watching Heng'er go in for the exam.

What should I do now?What should I say when I see the magistrate?Calling the second brother wronged?Or do you want to ask the adults to forgive me?
Unable to figure it out, Chen Qi couldn't help looking at Chen Heng, only to see that the child spit on the palm of his hand, then brushed it on the head, wrapped the messy hair in the scarf again, and straightened his clothes.

"Father, I will see the magistrate later, no matter what he says, I will reply. Don't talk, okay?"

Hearing the child's arrangement, Chen Qi couldn't help but nodded.

With Chen Qi's guarantee, Chen Heng finally walked up the steps, came to the officer stationed at the gate, bowed and said, "Chen Heng, a boy from Taixing County, please see the county magistrate. Please pass on the message from the officer officer, please."

The officer looked at the small Chen Heng, and said with a smile: "Oh. I recognize you. You are the chief case in our county. You just wait here, and I will pass it on for you."

The officer walked quickly into the hall, passed Chen Huaijin who had just been beaten, and said to the county magistrate Xu, "My lord, Chen Heng, the boy student of this county, asks to see you."

Chen Huaijin, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, moved his eyelids when he heard his nephew's name.He was also afraid that if he made a sound, he would provoke more beatings, so he simply continued to lie down with his teeth gritted.

"It's just a coincidence." Xu Pingzhi counted the time with his fingers, and he already knew it in his mind. He pointed to Chen Huaijin on the ground and said, "Take him back to the prison first. Don't wipe the blood on the ground."

The left and right officials naturally acted according to the order. After Chen Huaijin left, the master stepped forward and asked, "What do you plan to do, my lord?"

"Of course it depends on what he wants to say! What do you want to do!" Xu Pingzhi smiled, and said to the official who had just notified him, "Go and call him in."

"Yes."

　Hahahaha, brothers, we have recommendations! !Hahahahaha, starting this Sunday, can you vote more! ! !I want it all, please please (fly rubs hands
