Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Chapter 314 Three things to do when a new official takes office

Huo Yunchao had only seen scenes in movies and TV shows where the county magistrate went to court to judge a case. He felt that the process was too simple when he was actually there. Whatever happened, Magistrate Wang will determine the specific crime based on his testimony and pronounce the sentence.

The entire trial process was far less dramatic than in movies and TV dramas. It was more like a formality. From the public interrogation to the signing and deposit, it took less than half an hour, and it ended too quickly.

Magistrate Wang solemnly pronounced the sentence: "The criminal Li Dazhu shall be punished with twenty rods!"

Accompanied by the deafening sound of the hammer being struck, the criminal Li Dazhu was escorted to the gate of the county government office. He took off his coat in an open area and was pressed on a long bench. Huo Yunchao's old acquaintance Liu Yamen executed the cane punishment.

Staff generally refers to a stick. The staff is made of wattle sticks and is divided into three categories: large staff, magic staff and small staff. The cane punishment is usually "removing clothes and receiving the cane". The person who is being punished has to take off his clothes and underwear, and then his buttocks are spanked directly with bamboo or wooden boards.

Liu Yamen hated Li Dazhu's criminal behavior deeply. He did not hold back at all and used the greatest force to execute him. He beat Li Dazhu until he screamed repeatedly and was covered in blood.

Amidst the cries of the poor peasant woman, the onlookers knew how much damage Li Dazhu had caused to their family, and when they associated her unfortunate experience with themselves, they immediately shared the same hatred and clapped their hands and applauded!

Liu Yamen gained great strength from the cheers. He no longer had any psychological burden and could use as much strength as he could. After the twenty-stick punishment was over, Li Dazhu was already as weak as a gossamer and his vitality was severely damaged.

If he does not receive timely treatment, Li Dazhu will definitely die!

Magistrate Wang put his hands behind his back and raised his chin: "Yun Chao, are you satisfied with the effect of killing chickens to scare monkeys?"

Huo Yunchao sighed softly: "I had no intention of getting involved in those turmoils, but I am already standing on the cusp of the storm, and I can't help it at all."

He would rather work in the fields all day long than spend half an hour sitting in the courtroom in a daze. He really hates dealing with these troublesome things and cannot get the sense of accomplishment he wants from them.

Magistrate Wang laughed and said, "Yun Chao, you should be happy about this. It shows that you are a useful talent."

After investigation and evidence collection, Magistrate Wang followed the clues and found the man behind the real instigation of Li Dazhu to ruin Huo Yunchao's reputation.

As expected, he turned out to be the mortal enemy of the Chen family.

Huo Yunchao was stunned for a moment, unable to laugh or cry: "Thank you, sir, for your advice."

Magistrate Wang sternly reminded: "Yun Chao, Vanity Fair is far more complicated and dirty than you think. Don't always want to be alone. In Vanity Fair, you have to fight and win! You will be forced to go if you don't want to fight. Fight for it! Yun Chao, we have to take back the initiative, take action when it's time to take action, and don't give the initiative to the person you hate the most! You definitely don't want to be led by the nose by the bad guy you hate the most, right?"

He had already seen how passive Huo Yunchao was in the fight for fame and fortune, always thinking of being alone. This idea was totally wrong!

If he were an ordinary scholar, it would be understandable for Huo Yunchao to think so.

The reality is that Huo Yunchao is an important chess piece, and his power of life and death is in the hands of others, and he cannot control it at all!

Relying on the new grain of sweet potatoes to achieve a class jump, Emperor Yong'an regarded Huo Yunchao as an important chess piece, a loyal man who could eat the emperor's salary.

Huo Yunzhao was awarded the title of Pinglehou, so he was naturally from the Yong'an Emperor's faction. He would definitely become a thorn in the side of some people and want to get rid of him quickly.

The battle for Vanity Fair has already begun, and Huo Yunchao, who is at the forefront of the storm, has no other choice but to actively fight against it.

The false tranquility was severely exposed by Magistrate Wang. Huo Yunchao couldn't calm down for a long time. Until midnight, he was still thinking about what Magistrate Wang said, turning over and over again, unable to fall asleep.

Xu Ning was awakened by the snoring of little Fubao. He fed little Fubao night milk and heard Huo Yunchao's sigh.

"Ms. sir, are you awake?"

Huo Yunchao froze: "Ning Niang, did I wake you up?"

"No, little Fubao is hungry and needs milk." Xu Ning said softly.

Huo Yunchao stood up and lit the candle. The orange candlelight looked extremely gentle. He looked at Xu Ning's soft and beautiful face in the candlelight, and his heart warmed: "Mother Ning, if someone breaks into our house in the middle of the night and wants to seek wealth or death, , will you blame me?"

"Huh?" Xu Ning took some time to figure out what Huo Yunchao wanted to express. She adjusted her posture and looked up at her husband sitting by the bed: "Ms., I don't blame you. I have never blamed you. It was not you who was wrong. , but evil people who want to make money and kill people!"

"If I hadn't been in the limelight..."

Xu Ning interrupted Huo Yunchao: "My lord, it's not your fault. My lord, if others want to be in the limelight like us, they haven't had a chance yet. Those people can neither make pens, ink, paper or inkstones, nor can they figure out pesticides, fertilizers, and breeding improved seeds." , let alone the thought of giving the common people the benefit of the doubt when promoting new grain varieties! You told me, if you do good deeds, don’t ask about your future."

The panic in Huo Yunchao's eyes dissipated. He looked at his most beloved girl and the fat girl in her arms, and showed a relieved smile: "Ning Niang, you are the guiding light of my ship drifting on the sea. It is also the rock that stabilizes my rear."

What he said sounded disgusting and seemed like he was writing a flashy article, but it was really a compliment from his heart.

When he first came to the other world, Huo Yunchao was not as comfortable as he seemed. Instead, he was in panic all day long, wondering how he was going to live.

Until that day when the Japanese matchmaker came to Xu's house to arrange marriage, Huo Yunchao climbed up the wall of Xu's house. As soon as they met, he was attracted by Xu Ning's peerless appearance. Later, he was attracted by her straightforward character of revenge. The more he got along with her, the more he became more and more attracted. I love her.

If it were not for the purpose of spending his whole life with his beloved girl, Huo Yunchao would not really make up his mind to marry into the Xu family, let alone work hard to make money.

Xu Ning was his guiding light, guiding him on how to go for the rest of his life. He was also his harbor, quietly accompanying him when he needed comfort and companionship the most.

Xu Ning blushed at Huo Yunchao's high praise and gave him an angry look: "My lord, you are putting a high hat on me again. How can I be so good as you?"

Huo Yunchao used the softest tone and made the firmest oath: "No, Ning Niang, you are so good to me! You are such an important existence to me. Therefore, I will continue to work hard to make you and Xiao Fu Bao Live a happier and more comfortable life.”

Looking at Huo Yunchao, whose eyes became clear and firm again, Xu Ning breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Mr., please work hard for me and Xiao Fubao."

"Okay!" Huo Yunchao helped his wife and daughter fall asleep, then he blew out the candle, touched the pillow and fell asleep.

Listening to the familiar snoring, Xu Ning rubbed Huo Yunchao's arm and fell asleep peacefully.

The new magistrate Wang made three fires when he took office, and two of them were set off in this day: First, he publicly tried and punished Li Dazhu, which was very effective in frightening the monkeys; then, taking advantage of the popularity, he announced that Pinglehou would distribute sweet potato seeds for free. After completion, the sweet potatoes will be recycled at the agreed price!
