Jiangmen's direct daughter is busy farming

Chapter 66 Benefiting the Southern Suburbs (3)
County magistrate Zhang walked into the living room with "good expectations" in his arms.At this time, Jingyue was already sitting on the main seat in the hall half covered by the bamboo curtain.

"Master Zhang, this is my young master, Miss Jingyue, the daughter of the Song Mansion." Guanshi Liu stood aside after the introduction.

Ordinarily, County Magistrate Zhang is a seventh-rank Zhima official. According to the rules of the Xi Dynasty, when he sees the daughter of a first-rank general in the dynasty, he will bow his hands, but he just snorted coldly and didn't even look at Jingyue. , Pretentiously said: "Let me come in, it's not to meet your foolish lady! Hmph, I have business to do!"

"Master Zhang, why rush to go to the gate of hell? Although Jingyue is stupid, she has also heard that the laws of our country have always been strict, but the emperor will never tolerate those who commit crimes! Master Zhang has been an official for many years. Jingyue asked this question." How should the crime of molesting a good woman be punished, how should the crime of robbing a civilian daughter be punished, how should the crime of framing others be punished, how should the crime of adultery be punished, how should the crime of trespassing on private houses be punished, and neglect the family members of important ministers How should we punish the crimes of ignorance? Similarly, spoken words are like a knife piercing a person's heart.

The "eight deadly crimes" hat was immediately put on the head of County Magistrate Zhang, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.But after all, he has been a magistrate in the capital for several years, and he also understands that Jingyue is more or less trying to scare him.So, soon he calmed down again, thinking of the Ling family, he regained his confidence.

"Second Miss Song, don't scare me! I've been an official for several years, and I haven't seen anything! Tong Ling'er and Tong Daniu's murder and wounding are capital crimes, and I handle the case according to the law!" County Magistrate Zhang said disdainfully. .

Jingyue snorted coldly, she really didn't want to repent, since she wanted to court death, she didn't mind giving him an extra ride. "My lord Zhang, have you ever heard such a saying: 'Leave a line in life, so that we can meet each other in the future.' Even if the matter of Young Master Ling happened in the family of the three princes and the four princes, if it is so evil, once it reaches the emperor's ears, then He must be punished for a felony. Does Mr. Zhang feel that the Song family has lost their voice in front of the emperor?"

It was Jingyue's implicit warning words that completely aroused the vigilance of County Magistrate Zhang. He thought: The second lady of the Song family is right. It is his son's fault for being emotional and reasonable in this matter. If it is true Being sued by the Song family to the emperor is not his fault alone. With the accumulated grievances between the Song and Ling families, this matter must be related to the Duke of Ling’s mansion. At that time, let alone the emperor will punish him. Even Duke Ling's mansion will not let him go.

Thinking about this, County Magistrate Zhang hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty heard from Second Miss that she didn't want to make a big deal out of it. I was also annoyed before, so I hope Second Miss is no wonder. I don't know how Second Miss wants to solve this matter? "

Jingyue thought that the county magistrate was not particularly stupid, if he really didn't know good from bad, she would really be a villain this time.She said: "Master Zhang is a smart person. I will often stay in this southern suburb farm in the future. The people in Tongjia Village are somewhat related to my village, so I will trouble you to 'raise your hands', and we will treat each other as if this incident never happened. , as for the 'hush money', adults will just watch and give it!"

"Hush money? What's that?" County magistrate Zhang thought that since Jingyue wanted to settle the matter privately, and he didn't want it to become a big deal, he had the right to treat himself as unlucky, and walk around when he saw the second lady of the Song family. That's it.But what is this "hush money" all about?

Jingyue kindly explained to him: "Master Zhang, I promise you that I will not report this matter to the court, but I can't guarantee that the people around me won't speak up quickly. These maids and guards are all spoiled by me. Give them some silver, seal their mouths, and they won't talk nonsense, otherwise—oh, I can't guarantee it, Master Zhang just don't blame me when the time comes!"

Leng Yu, Leng Shuang, Leng Mei and Leng Ye all looked at their young lady with dissatisfaction, when did they become money-grubbing and talkative maids?

County magistrate Zhang looked at the beautiful figure inside through the bamboo curtain, wanting to cry without tears, and said that Miss Song's family is only thirteen or fourteen years old, how can she be so calculating, now he really has no money.

"How much does Second Miss Fei want to keep silent?" County Magistrate Zhang said with a frustrated face.

"Hey, that's a good question for me. How much do you need to keep your mouth shut?" Jingyue asked her maidservants solemnly.

"5000 taels!" Leng Mei said coldly.

"5000 taels!" Leng Ye continued.

"4000 taels or 5000 taels? Forget it, 5000 taels!" Leng Shuang pretended to be embarrassed and said after thinking about it.

"Miss, I want 1 taels. I love to talk too much. Every time I go back to the mansion and follow you into the palace, I am worried about what I will say! Mr. Zhang, my 1 taels are really not bad." , I really like talking nonsense, really!" Leng Yu continued to explain as if she was afraid that County Magistrate Zhang would not believe it.

Every time Jingyue's maid uttered a silver tael, county magistrate Zhang's heart bleeds.Why did he meet the "God of Plague" of the Song family? It seems that he is really going to bleed a lot this time. Could it be that she is really going to sue the emperor?Bad luck, really bad luck!

"Second Miss, isn't this hush money a little too much? I don't have so much money!" County Magistrate Zhang said with a dry smile.

"A lot? Not much, Mr. Zhang, you may not know that grandpa and dad secretly sent some people to protect me, or if I call them all out, can you ask if there are many?" Jingyue seemed kindly Said.

When County Magistrate Zhang heard Jingyue's words, he was so wronged that he wanted to cry.He knew that the masters of the big families in central Beijing were all protected by hidden guards, and if the Second Miss of the Song family called out all her hidden guards, he would have to sell the pot.

"Not much, not much! Second Miss, I will raise the 5000 taels and send them to you later!" County magistrate Zhang got up and wanted to leave. He didn't want to come to this Zhuangzi again.

"Master Zhang, it should be 3 taels, why did you forget Guanshi Liu! It's okay, I will remember! I will follow you to the county government office, and I promise not to talk nonsense along the way!" Leng Yute kindly reminded.

"Don't dare to bother the girl, I will send someone to deliver it myself!" County magistrate Zhang is completely different now than when he first entered the door just now.

However, in the end, Leng Yu and Leng Ye followed Zhang County Magistrate to the county government office, and not only got back 3 taels of silver bills, but also Tong Linger's mother.

After dealing with Tong Ling'er and Tong Daniu's affairs, Jingyue ordered Liu Guanshi to gather all the people in the village, and began to simply repair the two small courtyards in the farm.

In fact, there were not many members of the Song family in the farm in the southern suburbs, only Guanshi Liu's family and the Zhongda brothers who guarded the warehouse.
