Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 41 I want to break off the marriage

Because Fan Kui had already gone to Mount Mangdang to become a bandit, the case of Mr. Shan's murder had completely turned into a headless case, a muddled case that no one could explain clearly.

In Ling County, the old Yu's family complained every day, and Yu Zhi refused to admit that he hired a murderer to kill him. At the same time, no matter how the Ling County officials dug three feet into the ground, they did not find any evidence to prove that Yu Zhi hired a murderer to kill him. Behavior - this is especially important for the Great Qin Dynasty, which pays attention to evidence.And Yu Duo, who used the sign of Yu Zhi to go to Ling County City to trick Young Master Shan into sending him to his lower eunuch to die, also disappeared without a trace, as if he had evaporated from the world.

As for the lower prime minister, because of Fan Kui's obvious appearance, Xiang Kang, who had been with Fan Kui for a few days, was suspected of committing the crime. Victim—Fan Kuai tricked him into taking away sixty high-quality Shilingting iron knives with fifty yi of fake gold.At the same time, the case of Xiang Guan being robbed by bandits has also become a suspicious case that cannot be solved. The officials of Ling County and Xiaxiang County dug three feet into the ground, but they also couldn't find Xiang Kang's crime evidence, and there was no way to catch him. Zhang Ji, the bandit who stole the gold from the crown.

Pei County is also a mess. The jailer Cao Shen insisted that the letter of introduction Fan Kui brought to the prime minister was forged by others, and he refused to admit that Fan Kui was his jailer. , as well as the low-ranking officials who investigated the case of fake gold and knives, they all found out that Cao Shen had a deep personal relationship with Fan Kui, and was suspected of assisting Fan Kui in committing the crime, but they couldn't find any evidence of Cao Shen's crime.At the same time, a chief official in Pei County named Xiao He jumped out to defend Cao Shen, citing scriptures and narrating the Qin Law, refusing the officials of Xia Xiang and Ling County speechless, and had to give up and let the county magistrate of Pei County detain Cao Shen interrogation requirements.

In the end, Xiao He also showed the evidence that Peng Yue, the chief bandit of Dang County, had a subordinate named Zhang Ji, and asked the officials of Ling County, who were investigating the murder of Young Master Shan, to go to Dang County to hunt down Zhang Ji. When they went to Yanqi County, Dang County to continue the investigation, the officials of Yuanqi County, who had already been troubled by Peng Yue and the gang of water bandits, pushed to Xue County and Dong County, saying that Peng Yue's gang was mainly in Xue County and Dong County. The county's Juyeze water activities, no matter what, he would not accompany the officials of Ling County in this muddy water - if they have the ability to deal with Peng Yue and his gang, the officials of Yuanqi County don't need the people of Ling County to urge them Let's do it.

The scope of the case is getting bigger and bigger, more and more people are involved, and the case is even more complicated to the point of heinously. Of course, it is completely helpless to hunt down the officials of Ling County.The county magistrate of Ling County also felt a big headache. He didn't know how to understand this case, so he finally had to take advantage of Qin Fa's loophole and issued a sea arrest document to arrest Zhang Ji who committed the murder. To arrest and punish Zhang Ji, investigate the truth, and at least give an explanation to the superiors—it’s not that we are incompetent to investigate the case clearly, but that the main parties cannot be caught and cannot continue to investigate.

After the sea arrest document was issued, Feng Zhong, who had a better and better relationship with Xiang Kang, went to Ling County again, and quietly sent a sum of money to Wu Prison in Ling County, and asked Wu Prison to persuade the magistrate of Ling County to release the innocent Yu Zhi was wronged, and at the same time Mi San also couldn't produce evidence to prove that Shan Youwei threatened him to frame the Yu family. With hatred in his eyes, he went home crying to reunite with his family.

On the second day after Yu Zhi returned home with his torture injuries, Yu Jian personally took his son and two daughters to the Shiling Pavilion to thank Xiang Kang and the Xiang family's children face to face, but it was a pity that although Xiang Kang looked calm, After receiving their family, none of the Xiang family's children who had lived in the Yu family for a while, except for Xiang You, had an ugly expression on their faces. They ignored the Yu family's sincere thanks, and Xiang Kang's two aunts even Changing from his usual kind and gentle demeanor, his nose was not his nose, his eyes were not his eyes, and he didn't even bring out a bowl of hot soup (boiled water) to entertain the Yu family, let alone a meal.

Knowing why the Xiang family treated him like this, Yu Jian, who felt ashamed in his heart, of course did not dare to complain, and stood up, nodded and bowed and said to Xiang Kang's two aunts: "Grandmothers (aunts), I know that I am Say 1 sorry, you will not forgive me, I am a dog who sees people as inferior, dislikes the poor and loves the rich, I deserve to die. But I still dare to ask you to give me a chance to apologize and let me make up for Mr. Xiang. "

The second aunt who had a relatively more tempered face remained stern and silent, and the always gentle third aunt didn't have a good face either, she said stiffly: "I don't dare to apologize, as for how to compensate Kang'er, that's your own business, don't worry about it." Tell us."

"Sigh." Yu Jian sighed softly, then turned to Xiang Kang, and said with a guilty expression: "Mr. Xiang, I won't say anything superfluous. I promised to marry Miao Ge to you before. I was forced to agree. Afterwards, the old man hates the poor and loves the rich, and he did have the idea of ​​regretting it. But now the old man has made up his mind. If you don't dislike it, you can marry Miao Ge. The time is up to you. There is no need to ask for names, if you want, I will leave Miao Ge here today, and you will marry today."

Hearing Yu Jian's words, the faces of the two aunts and the Xiang family's children finally looked better, while Yu Miaoge buried her face in her arms in embarrassment, not daring to even look at Xiang Kang.On the other side, Yu Jian said again: "Also, the old man plans to divide the family property into three parts, and give one part to Miao Ge as a dowry. It can be regarded as compensation to you, Mr. Xiang."

A smile finally appeared on the corners of the mouths of the two aunts, winking at Xiang Kang continuously, urging Xiang Kang to agree quickly.On the other hand, Xiang Kang remained calm and said, "Grand Yu, this junior appreciates your kindness, but this junior is unwilling to accept it. Also, this junior still wants to divorce your Yushu and cancel the verbal agreement between us. Please do not mind that."

"What?! What did you say?!"

All the Xiang family's children screamed, including the two aunts, who couldn't help but scream, and Yu Jian and Yu Zhi's father and son over there stared their eyes like copper bells, and they couldn't believe themselves even if they were beaten to death Such an answer echoed in my ears.Yu Miaoge also raised her head in surprise, and looked at Xiang Kang in disbelief.Only Yu Ji, the little girl of the Yu family, was not overly surprised, but just glanced at Xiang Kang quietly, feeling complicated in her heart.

"I said that I want to withdraw from the marriage and dissolve the engagement." Xiang Kang, who had planned to take a long time to catch big fish from the beginning, had a calm expression, but said very cleverly from the bottom of his heart: "Miss Miaoge is gentle, virtuous, beautiful, and I am worthy of you." No, so I decided to call off the engagement."

"Kang'er, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you not worthy of this girl from the Yu family?"

The second aunt was anxious to ask this directly in public, and Yu Jian also said in surprise: "Master Xiang, are you joking? Is the old man really willing to marry his daughter to you this time?"

"Grand Yu, this junior is definitely not joking." Xiang Kang said calmly, "I decided to retire for three reasons. The first is that I know I am not good enough for your eldest daughter, and the second is that I don't want to take advantage of others. As for the third Well, I want to prove that I was wronged, so that no one will suspect that the surnamed Shan was killed by someone behind my back, and I deliberately framed the blame on Brother Yu, and then took the opportunity to sell favors to your family and force you marry my daughter to me."

Yu Jian opened his mouth wide and said after a long while: "Mr. Xiang, I didn't doubt you. The person who doubted you was an official from Ling County. I really never doubted you."

"Guada Li Xia, I want to avoid suspicion." Xiang Kang's attitude was very firm, and he said: "And I really feel that I am not worthy of your Yushu, and I don't want to take advantage of others, so I just decided to divorce!"

Yu Jian opened his mouth wide again, but the two aunts jumped up anxiously, rushed in front of Xiang Kang, pulled Xiang Kang from left to right and said, "Kang'er, don't be confused, we all believe in you I won’t do that, hurry up, get up and kowtow to your uncle (father-in-law), you and Duke Yu’s daughter will get married today.”

Xiang Kang struggled and shook his head, refusing to get up and kowtow to Yu Jian, but Yu Jian turned to kneel down to Xiang Kang with a plop, and said tearfully, "Master Xiang, I know you still hate me, don't you?" Willing to forgive me, but the old man really wants to repent this time, and Miao Ge likes you so much, he said that he is willing to marry you, so don't refuse."

Yu Zhi, who was injured over there, also struggled to stand up. He also knelt down to Xiang Kang, kowtowed and begged Xiang Kang to marry his sister quickly.Although such things are rare from ancient times to the present, Xiang Kang continued to shake his head and said, "Gong Yu, brother Yu, you all get up, my mind is made up. And I can also see that little sister Miao Ge I'm just grateful to me, so don't force her, you'd better choose another family for her that is worthy of her."

He also said that Xiang Kang was speaking in anger, and the Yu family father and son would inevitably beg for forgiveness. The two aunts were also sweating from their foreheads, pulling and tugging and pulling their ears, insisting on forcing Xiang Kang to agree immediately, and get up and give Xiang a hand immediately. Kang kowtowed, but Xiang Kang refused to give in, insisting on refusing to withdraw his decision to withdraw the engagement.In the end, when the fuss was over, Yu Yu suddenly yelled, "Enough! My sister is crying! Xiang Kang, you are so hard-hearted. Didn't you see that my sister is already crying because of you?"

After hearing this, the Yu family father and son, the two aunts, and Xiang Kang found out that Yu Miaoge was indeed in tears, sitting there weeping so hard that the two aunts were also furious, and they all scolded Xiang Kang: "Kang'er, did you see that the younger sister of the Yu family is crying because of you? How long are you going to be stubborn?"

Looking at Yu Miaoge who was crying like a tearful person, Xiang Kang was finally shaken, hesitated for a long time before saying: "Let me think about it, can we talk about it after a while?"

"What else are you thinking about? What else do you need to think about?" Second Aunt scolded and asked.But seeing Xiang Kang bowed his head again and remained silent, the second aunt had no choice but to say to the Yu family father and son: "Gong Yu, get up, Kang'er is a bit stubborn, let him think about it, we will advised him."

Yu Jian had no choice but to struggle to get up with the help of Aunt Xiang Kang, and then Xiang Kang said to Yu Jian: "Mr. Yu, Brother Yu's business is not over yet, and the right lieutenant surnamed Shan will definitely not just let it go. , you have to prepare early."

"The old man understands." Yu Jian nodded, and said with a sad face: "But the old man can't help it. Shan Youwei has power and power. If he wants to take revenge again, the old man really doesn't know what to do."

"I have an idea, I wonder if you would like to hear it?" Xiang Kang asked.

"Master Xiang, please advise." Yu Jian quickly replied.

"Move your home to Shiling Pavilion." Xiang Kang finally saw him, and said, "After you move your home to Shiling Pavilion, not only will your personal safety be guaranteed, but if Shan Youwei wants to punish you, he must You have to go through the Xiang County government first, with Brother Feng and our Xiang family here, you and the Yu family don't have to worry about anything."

Yu Jian's eyes lit up, and he was a little moved, but after careful consideration, Yu Jian said again: "But the old man's fields and houses are all in Yanji Pavilion? There is no way to move those things."

"Move the house here first." Xiang Kang replied: "You can ask your family's servants to take care of the fields and properties temporarily, then sell them off slowly, and slowly transfer them to Shiling Pavilion, so that there will be no loss."

Yu Jian was even more shaken, and Xiang Kang said again: "Grand Yu, I also had good intentions. It was his luck that brother Yu was released this time. Whether he will have such luck next time is anyone's guess." I can't guarantee it."

After thinking about it, Yu Jian said after a long while: "I think about it, if possible, I will move the house here."

With Shan Youwei as a capable helper, Xiang Kang was of course not afraid that Yu Jian would change his mind and let his hard work be in vain, so he nodded directly and did not continue to persuade him to leave too many traces of pretense.However, before the matter was over, Yu Jian proposed to ask Xiang Kang to lead the way, and lead him to Feng Zhong's house, to thank Feng Zhong who also made great efforts in this matter, and Xiang Kang agreed immediately, and immediately got up to lead the Yu family. , and led the Yu family to thank Feng Zhong.

On the way to the Shiling Pavilion where Feng Zhong lived, Xiang Kang hardly talked to the Yu family, Yu Miaoge kept wiping tears in the car, and Yu Yu sat beside his sister with a straight face all the time. I haven't had any communication with Xiang Kang.In the end, after meeting Feng Zhong, the father and son of the Yu family talked politely to Feng Zhong, and when Xiang Kang was walking in the courtyard of the pavilion alone, the little girl Yu Concubine came to Xiang Kang with a straight face, and immediately covered her face. Whispered: "Hypocrisy! Is there anything wrong with my sister? Why do you want to break off the engagement with her?"

"I've already said the reason, and I don't want to be wordy anymore." Xiang Kang replied, looked into the eyes of the little girl Yu Concubine and said in a low voice: "Also, if you, Aunt, mean to marry you to me, I will definitely not Will decline, will immediately agree."

A shy look inevitably appeared on Yu Yu's charming face, and the little girl didn't dare to look at Xiang Kang's eyes, she just turned her face away and said, "Don't dream, I won't fall in love with you. Smart If you don’t, kowtow to me in a while and call my uncle, and marry my elder sister, or you will regret it for the rest of your life.”

"I have to think about marrying your sister." Xiang Kang said calmly: "But if I marry you, I will definitely not consider it, and I will agree immediately."

"Where do I have it?" Yu Yu couldn't bear it anymore, and said in a low voice with a blushing face: "Even Ah Weng said that I was mischievous and did not do good things all day long. My sister is much better than me. Why do you have to do it?" pestering me?"

"Have you heard what love at first sight is?" Xiang Kang said with a smile: "If I had met your sister first when I went to your house for the first time, maybe I would have agreed today. But there is no way, who told you this The naughty little girl came out to seduce me first, so I decided to pester you."

"Who seduced you?" Yu Cong's pink face turned red, and she said coquettishly: "I didn't like seeing you guys come to my house to eat and drink, there is no other meaning!"

"But who told you that you can't understand me and come out to meet me first?" Xiang Kang replied with a wry smile: "Also, why didn't you tell me that you still have a sister, you Aunt promised to take you Sister marrying me? If you told the truth, what will happen later?"

"You are the one who is confused, so what does it matter to me?" Yu Yu scolded, blushing and said: "I have never seen such a confused man as you in the world. It is absurd to ask for marriage without knowing whether I have any sisters!"

Xiang Kang smiled wryly, stopped talking, and indeed complained to himself for being so muddle-headed for making such a big oolong.The little girl Yu Yu over there said again in a low voice: "I'll give you one last chance, kowtow to call me Uncle Aweng in a while, and marry my sister, or you will regret it!"

"With your sister, I want to think about it."

Xiang Kang answered very frankly and directly, but Yu Concubine had no choice but to blush and stomp her feet and walk into the room. Xiang Kang hurriedly stopped her and said, "Little sister, I advise you, Aunt, to move the house quickly." It is too dangerous to come to Shiling Pavilion and continue to live in Yanji Pavilion. If you have any accidents, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"Pooh!"

It was the little girl who answered Xiang Kang's infatuated words. Of course Xiang Kang didn't mind, he just watched the little girl leaving in a hurry, thinking in his heart, and said inwardly: "If there is no accident, the Yu family should do it in order to save their lives. I moved my family here. After his family moved here, I have to quickly find a way to use his family's money to prepare for this troubled world, but how can I force the Yu family to help me with money? Could it be that I really have to go against my conscience? Marry this little girl's sister?"

"Why don't you really marry her? Anyway, my sister-in-law is half of my brother-in-law. At worst, I will suffer a bit. I will marry her sister first, and then I will slowly figure out a way to get rid of this little girl. Work hard." , let their sisters serve a husband together."
