Farming: I dressed up as a widow and beat my parents-in-law violently

As Lu Zhixian finished speaking.

All the people present cheered.

It can be seen how many people have been harmed by gambling houses.

"Master Magistrate, you are wise——"

"Master Xie Qingtian——"

"..."

People inside and outside the hall fell to their knees, and their thanks made Lu Zhixian feel a little uncomfortable.

He ordered gambling houses to be cleared out of Jiashu County. He was just a small county magistrate. If the governor of Jiangnan came to inspect, he might be held accountable.

But he is not afraid.

Gambling houses, such harmful things, have no need to exist at all.

No matter how good a person is, once he becomes addicted to gambling, he is not far from being a loser.

At worst, he will be a petty official for the rest of his life.

It’s okay if you don’t get promoted.

Magistrate Lu thought to himself.

The ninth day of October.

The governor of Jiangnan sent someone to deliver the letter quickly.

The letter stated that Lu Zhixian was given full authority to deal with Shen Jiading and others.

Ask and behead within three days.

No one should be left alive.

"Cunshan, why are you frowning?" In the study, Mrs. Lu smoothed Zhixian Lu's eyebrows with her fingers and asked with concern.

"Shen Jiading deserves to die, but the group of thugs under him also obeyed orders. Although it is a serious crime, if everyone is killed, the sentence will be too harsh. I originally thought that Shen Jiading would be executed and the group of thugs would be sent to do it. Twenty years of hard labor is considered a severe punishment. Why did your Excellency want to execute them? You also specifically wrote that no one should be left alive. There must be something wrong with this. What's more important is that he actually suppressed the matter and didn't Report to the superiors, shouldn’t such a big case be decided by the emperor?”

Lu Cunshan sat on the huanghuali wood Taishi chair next to the desk. He held the letter in his hand and read it again and again.

"It's better not to know some things. You are just a small county magistrate. What can you do if you explore too much? Just obey the orders and act. After all, they have a lot of lives on their hands. It is not unjust to execute them. If they had known this, they I shouldn’t have become a thug in the first place, but I deserve to end up like this now.”

Mrs. Lu, Yu Yaonian, had a cheerful personality. She leaned on the handle of the chair and scolded the thugs.

"Forget it, I'll leave this matter to Zuo Li. Since the governor said that within three days, let's set it at Caishikou at noon tomorrow. Twelve people will be killed together. I have to personally supervise it. It's too much. In a hurry, it has been a day since the letter was delivered. Plus today, it is the next day. I have to prepare quickly. By the way, tell Baozhu that I will not accompany you mother and daughter to dinner tonight. Wait until this After the matter is settled, I will accompany you to Zhuangzi for two days."

Shen Jiading's matter has been busy for several days, from torture to finding witnesses and evidence.

When we came out in the morning, Magistrate Lu had promised well.

He said he would go back in the evening and have dinner with his daughter Lu Baozhu.

But with the arrival of the letter, it became clear that this meal was no longer needed.

"Baozhu will definitely be angry with you. You shouldn't have promised her this morning. Okay, I'm here. You can go about your business. Yan's restaurant just started selling hot pot. I'll take Baozhu to eat hot pot."

Yu Yao glanced at Lu Zhixian.

Although she is already in her thirties, her features still reveal the charm of a girl.

It shows how good the relationship between the couple is.

"With Nian'er as my wife, what more can I ask for?" Lu Zhixian put his arms around Yu Yaonian's waist and kissed her on the face.

"As an old married couple, you are not ashamed!" Mrs. Lu took out the handkerchief from her waist and wiped her face. She looked very disgusted, but there was a smile on her face.

"Madam, you go and accompany Baozhu, I'm going to work." Lu Zhixian strode out of the study.

By this time, it was already afternoon.

Yu Yaonian took her daughter out of the house and went straight to Yan Xia's restaurant.

Behind him were two maids, one was older and the other looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, about the same as Lu Baozhu.

"Mom, a few days ago, Aunt Yan sent me a new dish. It's quite delicious. Let's go to Yan's Pastry Shop to sit down first. I'm not very hungry yet. Let's go eat hot pot in the evening."

Arriving at the door of Yan's Restaurant, Lu Baozhu stopped her mother.

I suggested going to Yan’s pastry shop opposite for a while.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. My good daughter can eat whatever she wants."

Yu Yaonian readily agreed.

She only has one daughter, Lu Baozhu, so she naturally holds her in her hands and dotes on her.

It's strange to say.

The two of them spoiled their daughter like this, and Lu Baozhu didn't grow crooked.

She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her literary talent is also very good. If she were a man, it would be no problem to be a scholar.

On weekdays, he is also kind to the servants in the mansion.

He never beats or scolds his servants on the basis of his status as master.

Even for Yan Xia, a lowly merchant, she called Aunt Yan respectfully.

"Mrs. Lu, Miss Baozhu, why are you here? Come and take a seat quickly." Yan Xia saw the two of them as soon as they entered the shop with the maid.

She has nothing to do today, helping in the shop.

"Aunt Yan, you are too polite. You can just call me Baozhu from now on. You don't have to call me Miss." Lu Baozhu's voice was soft and cotton, like clouds in the sky, and it was very comfortable to listen to.

Yan Xia smiled and nodded.

"Okay, Baozhu, Mrs. Lu, please go up to the second floor. There happens to be a box that is empty. By the way, how do you like the new food that I sent to you last time? Does it taste good?" Yan Xia personally led the way. Yu Yaonian and Lu Baozhu went to the second floor.

She walked ahead and asked behind.

"It's delicious. Aunt Yan, you are so awesome. Everything you make is delicious. No wonder the business of your shop is so good. Walking all the way from the mansion, Aunt Yan, your shop has the most customers. There is an endless stream of customers, not just pastry shops. , the same goes for restaurants, my mother and I are going to have hot pot later, please help me save a seat."

Lu Baozhu's character is very similar to Mrs. Lu.

She never takes anything to heart, and her expression changes when she speaks.

When she is happy, her eyes are crooked in smile, and when she is unhappy, her mouth is pouty.

"Okay, I'll ask my youngest son to reserve a box for you, and you can just go there later." Yan Xia naturally agreed.

This is the county magistrate's wife and only daughter.

She would be happy to come to her restaurant for dinner even if she didn't pay any money.

It is simply a walking sign.

"Thank you, Aunt Yan."

"Thank you, I should. If you want to eat something, I'll ask my servant to bring it to you." Yan Xia was very enthusiastic towards Lu Baozhu.

Partly because of her identity, and partly because she likes Lu Baozhu very much.

"Well, let's just serve the two new dishes you sent last time. No more. I'm going to have hot pot with my mother later. I'm so full that I can't eat the hot pot anymore." Lu Baozhu is from Yan's pastry shop. Loyal customers.

She has tasted almost all pastries and sweets.

"Just follow what Baozhu said." Mrs. Lu also said with a smile.

"Okay." Yan Xia responded, turned around and left, not forgetting to lower the curtain of the box.
