Supernatural Rebirth: Farming and Raising a Husband

Chapter 307
"Well, they are the four major families." Yi Ranchen explained to Gu Yao: "The Shangguan family, Xuanyuan family, Li family, and Feng family are also called the four major families in our country."

"Shangguan's family, Xuanyuan's family, Li's family, Feng's family." When talking about Feng's family, Gu Yao's eyes flickered. If she remembers correctly, her mother's surname is Feng, right?
I don't know if it has anything to do with the Feng family.

"It's them. Shangguanxuan belongs to the Shangguan family. Everyone in the Shangguan family is an official, but except for the head of the family, none of them can exceed the third rank." Yi Ranchen said.

Gu Yao raised her eyebrows, "Where did you know that?" Didn't this guy grow up in Yijia Village like himself?
Yi Ranchen smiled, "I inquired about it. Let me tell you that the young master Xuanyuan who is in Xiangmanlou is the son and future head of the Xuanyuan family, one of the four major families."

Gu Yao nodded, she knew that Xuanyuanqiu was the legitimate son and the future head of the family, "What about the others, what about the Li family and the Feng family?"

"The other two families!" Yi Ranchen frowned, "There is relatively little news about these two families, especially the Li family, which is said to have escaped from the world."

"It's the Feng family." Yi Ranchen smiled, "The Feng family is one of the four major families that no one wants to offend. Do you know why?"

Gu Yao kicked Yi Ranchen angrily, "Say it quickly, don't tempt me."

Yi Ranchen smiled, "Because the Feng family specializes in producing queens, the other three major families are unwilling to offend the Feng family. After all, the reigning emperor may have crawled out of the Feng family's belly."

"What's more, the current empress is from the Feng family." Speaking of this, Yi Ranchen had to sigh, "I don't know how this woman from the Feng family can do this."

Gu Yao smiled, "I don't know if it's possible, but let's talk about the matter of Shangguanxuan first!" After all, the matter in front of me is the most important thing now.

"Yes." Yi Ranchen returned to the topic, "Just yesterday, there was a restaurant owner who wanted to please Mr. Shangguan, so he invited him to the flower restaurant for a drink."

"I didn't expect that this drinking would lead to troubles. Mr. Shangguan left Hualou angrily, and then arrested the owner of the restaurant for bribery."

Gu Yao rubbed her chin, "Well, it seems that this Shangguan is a good official who is upright and serving the people?" It seems that the owner of the restaurant gave money when drinking flower wine.

Yi Ranchen nodded, "It should be, but I haven't seen him, so it's hard to draw conclusions." Then he smiled, "But you can put your worries aside."

"As long as we don't do anything out of the ordinary, that Shangguan won't bother us."

"Yes." Gu Yao nodded.

In the county government at this time, the Shangguanxuan that Gu Yao and Yi Ranchen were talking about was checking the recorded cases in Ling County for so many years!
They are all old cases, some have been solved by Liu Zhan, and some have not yet been solved.

"My lord, it seems that Liu Zhan is really a good talent!" The one who spoke was Liu Cheng, a close friend of Shangguanxuan.

He looks very burly, he can be regarded as Shangguanxuan's bodyguard!

After all, as a civil servant, Shangguanxuan didn't know much about it.

Shangguanxuan was still wearing the official uniform of the county magistrate at this time, looking at the file in his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "It is true that although he has only been in Ling County for a short time, his ability is indeed outstanding, he is indeed the champion of the year!"

Many cases from several years ago have been solved, not to mention, some unsolved cases from more than ten years ago have been solved by him!
"If he hadn't offended someone back then, he wouldn't still be a ninth-rank official now." Liu Cheng sighed, and then thought of his current situation.

"My lord, I want my subordinates to tell you that you are too good-tempered. It was the eldest young master who offended the fourth prince, but you were the one who was sent down."

"Eldest young master is relying on the fact that he is protected by the Patriarch, but you are also the Patriarch's own son, why don't you see the Patriarch protecting you!"

Shangguanxuan put away the smile on his face, looked at Liu Cheng, with a trace of silence on his face, and said for a long time: "Liu Cheng, it's fine to say these things in front of me, but you must never say them outside."

"My lord, my subordinates just want to stand up for your lord's injustice." Liu Cheng is really unwilling!

After all these years in Shangguan's mansion, he couldn't understand it. They were both sons of the legitimate son, so how could there be such a big difference!
The elder of his family got the first prize with his own ability, so it's fine if the patriarch doesn't praise it, but he even blamed the elder for being the first prize, which made the young master lose face.

If the eldest young master doesn't work hard himself, why should his adults give him face!
It used to be like this every time, as long as the adults are better than the young master, it will cause dissatisfaction with the head of the family.

Why didn't the Patriarch think about it, the Eldest Young Master was simply a fool who couldn't afford to support him.

No matter how you hire a famous teacher, it is useless.

Now it has caused the adults of his family to be sent down to such a small place.

Obviously relying on the ability of an adult, he should shine in the capital.

It's all the young master's fault.

"Okay." As his confidant, how could Shangguanxuan not know what Liu Cheng was thinking, "We have already come here anyway, so let's do things for the common people!"

"My lord, you have a very good temper." Liu Cheng muttered.

Shangguan Xuan shook his head, "It's getting late, let's go, let's have dinner."

"En." Liu Cheng hurriedly followed.

The biggest new thing in Ling County at present is that the new county magistrate has taken office. During this period of time, everyone is talking about this new county magistrate.

Some people who have seen it say that the county magistrate is so good-looking, he deserves to be an official, and those who eat official meals are just different from ordinary people.

For those who haven't seen it, let's say, who knows whether the county magistrate is good or bad. His good skin may be sucked out of the blood of the common people.

Just when you were discussing and I was discussing, the county magistrate planned to investigate the case.

Check it out, it was a case more than ten years ago.

It was a matter of the Cao family, a big family in Ling County before.

"Have you heard, the county magistrate is planning to investigate the case of Cao's family."

"The Cao family? Which Cao family! What kind of case does their family have!"

"You didn't know when you first came here. I know. The Cao family used to be rich. They were the richest in our county. It's a pity that everyone in the Cao family died overnight."

"Everyone is dead, isn't there one who is still alive?"

"Tch, a little doll, what do you know? After all, how old was that girl at that time, is she five years old?"

When Gu Yao brought Yi Xuan to the streets of Ling County, she heard everyone discussing the matter of Cao's family. She was a little confused, so she took them to Yunshui Pavilion.

"Hey, Miss Gu, why come here when you have time!"

"Hi Miss Gu."

Gu Yao nodded to the shop assistants, then looked at Xu Lian who was standing by the front desk, "Shopkeeper Xu, when I first came here, I heard some discussions about the Cao family in the county town?"

"What's going on here!"

Xu Lian smiled and said, "Isn't it because the new county magistrate intends to thoroughly investigate the case of the Cao family more than ten years ago?"

"The new county magistrate? The case of Cao's family?" Gu Yao blinked her eyes, "The new official took office three fires, intending to show the big guy a hand, to suppress the situation?"

Xu Lian smiled, "Maybe, who knows, but it would be great if the case of the Cao family can be found out, after all, it's a good thing!"

"Speaking of which, what happened to the Cao family!" Gu Yao pulled Yi Xuan to find a stool and sat down with a puzzled expression.

Xu Lian smiled, and sat down, "Hey, I knew that Miss Gu was curious. No, I found out everything. Speaking of the Cao family, that family is very rich!"

"I heard that the bowls they eat are all made of silver, and the dishes they eat are all delicacies from mountains and seas. There are all kinds of them. It's a pity. The lives of the Cao family are not very good."

"I don't know why, everyone died overnight, and I couldn't find any injuries. Oh, by the way, there is also a little girl who survived."

"I heard that the little girl is the daughter of the Cao family. That day, because of her fun, she avoided the servants around her and ran out to play. When she came back, she found that everyone in the house was dead."

Xu Lian shook his head, "According to people at the time, that little girl was completely stupid." How pitiful!

Gu Yao blinked her eyes, "Could it be that murderer did it for money!"

"I don't know." Xu Lian shook his head regretfully, "Everyone said that the magistrate of Ling County was a corrupt official at that time, he only knew how to have fun all day long, and he didn't avenge the people's grievances at all."

"Because there was really no trace of the Cao family's murder at that time, so the people in the government searched casually, and put him in the unsolved case, and then it disappeared."

"This corrupt official really made a mistake, and I don't know how the other party passed the exam." Gu Yao said angrily, "This imperial court is simply blind!"

How many people have been harmed by releasing a corrupt official!

Xu Lian hurriedly looked around, "My Miss Gu, you can't just say this casually, it will be terrible if someone with a heart hears it!"

Gu Yao curled her lips, "Okay, that's what I said. By the way, you said there was another little girl who survived, so what happened to her after that!"

"Later, a childless couple adopted her. Some said that their family moved away, while others said they lived in a village near the county seat."

Xu Lian shrugged his shoulders, "There are all kinds of theories, and I don't know which one is true."

It's just that the little girl of the Cao family lost everything overnight, and I don't know whether to say that she is lucky or sad.

After playing for a while, he became an orphan.

"Yao'er, why are you here?" Yi Ranchen came down from the stairs and was a little surprised when he saw Gu Yao beside the main stage, "Xuan'er." He squeezed Yi Xuan's small face.

"Brother Chen." Yi Xuan yelled, and seriously ate the candied haws in his hand, which was obtained by Yi Xuan acting like a baby to Gu Yao when they came just now.

Gu Yao smiled at Yi Ranchen, and said, "I have nothing to do at home, so I went out for a stroll. I heard about the Cao family right away."
