Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 78: You Mob (3)
Xianglai said: "It's okay, she will keep the accounts, I'll just let Brother Dachang watch the road construction, and in a few days I will also get a carriage for Brother Dachang, Xiufen will go back and forth in his car, and then Tianlai will always be fine. Running around, he will come back with news if there is something to do."

Only then did Xiu Fenniang nod her head, and said: "Okay, Dachang people are kind, I feel at ease with him taking care of me."

The next day after the matter was settled, Xiufen happily came to work. Xianglai took her to Wang Erlin, who led people to cultivate the fields near the village, and told him that Xiufen would take care of all future labor. How much work each person does and how the quality is will be inspected and accepted by Dachang at night.

In this way, Wang Erlin, who was originally "monopoly power", just ran around and took care of odd things, and was completely empty.

Afterwards, they also arranged for the two of them to build the road, and Xianglai finally freed up to do what she wanted to do.

Since the two good horses Yu Zixi gave her, Xianglai didn't have to struggle so much to go to Songning. I believe it will be easier after the mountain road is repaired.

On the second day after Dachang and Xiufen went to work, Xianglai took Xu Che and enough bank notes to Songning.

This visit was different from previous visits, because her destination was the Songning County Government Office.

As the saying goes, "The gate of the yamen is open facing you. Don't come in if you have a reason and no money." It holds the power of life and death for one side of the people.

To say that the county magistrate of Song County is not too much, in the past few years in office, I have never heard of him having such evil deeds as disregarding human life.

It was already past noon when Xianglai and Xu Che arrived, and all the work that should be done in the yamen had been done, and the autumn air was crisp and neither cold nor hot, and it was the time when people were at their most comfortable.

The two guards at the gate of the yamen were not in good shape. They moved a stool and sat in front of the door, chewing their paws. When they saw Xianglai and Xu Che approaching, they raised their chins and asked, "Hey, what are you two doing? Are you okay?" Go a little farther, this is a government office, not a pancake stand, let you wander around!"

While talking, he was spitting out the melon seeds, with an expression that did not pay much attention to Xiang Lai and Xu Che who were dressed as countrymen.

Xu Che's violent temper, Dang even wanted to yell back, but was stopped by Xianglai.

Xianglai pulled Xu Che and Yan Yuese towards the yamen servant and said, "Brother Cha, we are not just hanging around, we are here to sue."

The yamen servant looked them up and down a few times, and said impatiently: "If you don't come sooner to file a complaint, it will take a while, when will you go on..."

He pointed to the big drum next to him and said: "Complain and beat the drum over there, and wait for the master to be promoted."

Xianglai said: "I don't want to play drums, I want to see the master directly."

The yamen servant stared at him and said: "Hey, why is your little girl so big? With a red mouth and white teeth, she is not afraid of the wind flashing her tongue, the master is the one you can see whenever you want..."

Speaking of which, looking at Xianglai's handsome face, he suddenly realized: "Oh... I understand, you girl must have some unreasonable thoughts..."

When Xu Che heard that he was about to speak out rudely, he immediately stopped drinking and said, "Shut up, and be careful to knock out your teeth!"

This yamen servant was usually used to being respected by others, but he was going to have a fit when he stood up after being reprimanded by Xu Che, but as soon as he stood up, he saw a gleaming white ingot appearing in front of him.

Although Xianglai only took five taels of silver, it was already a rare income for a janitor at the gate. The yamen servant also stood up, drooling at the silver.

The yamen servant who was talking was planning to go over and talk to Xu Che, maybe he could shake it a few times to relieve his anger, but when he saw the silver, he forgot everything, raised his hand to take the silver from Xianglai's hand, just now, his face of arrogance immediately He piled up a charming smile, and said: "Uh... the girl wants to see my lord, I can report it quickly, but I don't know how to tell the master?"

Xianglai said: "You said that Chen Xianglai, a girl from Yanjiang Xitun whose father was killed by Xu Zongde, wanted to see the master."

"Okay!" The yamen servant agreed, and happily ran into the yamen holding the money.

The county magistrate of Songning was named Chen Changzhi, and he had been the county magistrate for three consecutive terms in Songning. After [-], the ground of Songning County was very familiar, and he was surprised when he heard the report from the yamen servant.

He doesn't know who Chen Xianglai is, but he knows Xu Zongde. Although Xu Zongde's other industries in Songning County are not a big deal, he often runs to him because of the gold mine. Why is he a little girl now? To tell him, and to open his mouth is a lawsuit against human life.

Thinking of this, he asked the master beside him strangely, and said, "Xu Zongde came to Songning again recently? He even killed someone! Why didn't I know?"

His master's surname is Qi, and people call him Master Qi.

The master Qi thought about it after listening to his question, and said: "Oh, I remembered, Xu Zongde never came, the woman said that her father was killed by him may be the murder case in the gold mine three years ago, the deceased It seems to be from Yanjiang Village."

Hearing Master Qi say this, Chen Changzhi recalled: "Yanjiang Village... Are you talking about the case that Huang Xiucai came to vote for two years ago?"

Master Qi said: "Yes, that's the one. I remember that the deceased's surname was also written on the certificate."

Chen Changzhi sneered and said, "I thought they brought in a useless Huang Xiucai, who had no great skills, so I sent him back by the way. I didn't expect that two years later, they even brought up a girl to complain. interesting!"

Hearing the two of them talking, the yamen servant said with a smirk on his face: "Master, that girl didn't beat the drum to complain about her grievances, and she didn't bring a certificate. When she arrived at the door, she said she wanted to see the master directly, maybe...hehe! That girl looks really good. , but the dress is a bit rustic, and the face and figure are much better than the top card in Yunxiang Building!"

Chen Changzhi pursed his lips in disdain and said, "A country girl, no matter how good-looking she is, can she be better than the top card in Yunxiang Building?"

The yamen servant smacked his lips and said: "Master, don't believe it, she is definitely better looking than Yanniang, except for her darker face, that is called a water spirit! After a while, master, you will know it when you see it!"

"Oh?" Chen Changzhi listened to a wretched smile appear on his face, but he put it away when it flashed for a moment, and shouted with a straight face: "What nonsense are you talking about, the case is important! Go, bring someone to me Go to the second hall!"

When the disciple heard that he was brought to the second hall instead of the court, he couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, but he also put on a serious face and said: "Yes, master."

Said and ran out again.

When I came to the door and saw Xianglai, I sold it to Xianglai, saying: "Miss Shen, we adults who don't beat the drums and complain about grievances are [-]% unwilling to see you. I said a lot of good things before he agreed to see you..."
