Wen Family Has a Wife

Jiang Dayi explained in a rough voice: Didn't the county magistrate attack the Feng family to please Chen Yangqiu? Later, when the Feng family got up, our family followed suit. I was afraid that we would settle accounts after the fall, so after the three-year term of office expired, we will be fined. Consciously applied for a level transfer, and went to work as a county magistrate in a county that was not as good.

It's not easy to be promoted, and it's much easier to be promoted, let alone go to a bad place. The court quickly approved it. He walked very low-key at that time, running faster than a rabbit, and left Dizhou long ago. , it was You Dagang who took office later.

To be honest, this is the most asshole county magistrate I have ever seen since I came to Qing'an County. Although the previous one was not very good, he knew some ways to be an official, so he didn't dare to go too far and cause public resentment. It's different, just taking office and taking benefits everywhere, that is to say, our master is an official in the capital, so he doesn't dare to speak to us.

As long as other families have no power in the family, they all have to pay protection fees, even more robbers than robbers! I, Lao Jiang, can't see this matter, and I have chatted with Changxin and them for many years, but because people did not offend us, and the sufferer never asked us for help, the He family and other big households did not move, Changxin wanted We stood still, so I endured it.

He said he had endured it, but in fact he felt a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, and he just said bad things about You Dagang behind his back.

Wen Yuanhong looked at Changxin. Jiang Dayi couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes, and he liked to add fuel and vinegar to his words. It would be more reliable for him to ask Changxin.

Changxin met Wen Yuanhong's questioning eyes, nodded silently, and said: Jiang Dayi's words are relatively general, and he stays in the village all year round or goes out to deliver goods, so he doesn't know carefully. Let me tell. According to the rules, 30% of the tax must be paid after the autumn harvest every year, and it can be reduced to 20% when the year is bad.

You Dagang pays taxes and grains according to the three tiers regardless of whether the year is good or bad. If the year is good, he still needs to collect money. There are so many items, such as building bridges and paving roads, building meritorious memorial archways, or building temples, etc. Yes, but the subordinates have sent someone to inquire. During You Dagang's tenure, Qing'an County had never heard of digging a ditch, not to mention building bridges and paving roads.

On the contrary, I heard that he was looking for beauties to raise in the backyard. I don't know if those beauties were collected by him himself or sent out to bribe Shangfeng.

Wen Yuanhong immediately thought of the woman behind the screen on the second floor of the restaurant, and thought that this was the purpose of You Dagang's search for beauties.

Chang Xin saw that Wen Yuanhong's expression remained unchanged, and said again: This You Dagang has many means, and it seems that there are people protecting him. Anyway, he did not deliberately cover up these things, and he looked confident. People with some means in Qing'an County should Everyone knows it.

Not only that, but he also disregarded human life.

Wen Yuanhong's expression turned sharp in vain.

Chang Xin lowered his eyes and said: The one who was murdered was an old bustard named Zhu Niang in the brothel. Our family has always had business dealings with the brothel, and it started in the past few years. We don't care about the petty profits, but the business has never stopped.

The master is expressing his gratitude for Cui Niang's patronage when he was poor in the early years, and the master said that women in brothels are difficult, if they can't make it through, who would want to be prostitutes? It is not easy for them to buy on weekdays, and they have to look at the faces of others when they are outside. We will help as much as we can, so these years occasionally let us

Zhu Niang is not young anymore, it stands to reason that after she retires, Cui Niang will be the next procuress, but not long after You Da took office, she went to the brothel once, and Zhu Niang died the next day.

An old procuress, even if she died, no one would care, but Cuiniang is a caring person. She knew that Zhu Niang was killed by You Dagang, and she always wanted to take revenge, but she was getting old and wanted to seduce her It was impossible for the servant to get close to You Dagang, and he couldn't think of any other way, so he begged his subordinates when he was desperate.

The subordinates asked Cuiniang to collect evidence secretly in the brothel, and then reported the matter to the masters when the evidence was conclusive. Unexpectedly, there was no news from Cuiniang, and the second master came back first.

Wen Yuanhong frowned, What does Zhu Niang have to do with You Dagang? Why did You Dagang kill her?

Chang Xin shook his head,

My subordinates don't know about this matter. It is difficult to find out the background of the girls in the brothel. In addition to Zhu Niang's age, unless someone knows her details, it will be difficult to trace her past. However, the subordinates have tried their best to send People went to investigate secretly, but the greatest hope is still on Cui Niang's side. If Cui Niang finds some clues, it will be much easier for the subordinates to do things here.

After staying in Dali Temple for such a long time, Wen Yuanhong naturally understood these principles, and immediately pondered: Let's do this first, and I will ask others to help. Before the evidence is conclusive, don't startle the snake. Also, I The next time I come back, I have something important to do, so you can send someone to Bubuzhai to tell me how many guest rooms you can prepare for me.

Chang Xin didn't ask much, and obeyed unconditionally.

Jiang Dayi felt relieved now, and shouted: Second Master, I'm waiting to see you show off your authority, punish the dog official, and restore peace to Qing'an County!

The corner of Wen Yuanhong's mouth twitched violently, feeling inexplicably that there is a long way to go.

After leaving the grocery store, he took the carriage arranged by Changxin to Hu's house.

At this time, the school was on holiday, and the front yard was empty. Wen Yuanhong was still a little dazed when he passed by. The scenes of hanging his ass here in those years are still vivid in his memory. In the blink of an eye, he is a sixth-rank official who has gone through two dynasties.

What? Thinking about the past? A hoarse and gentle voice sounded behind him.

Wen Yuanhong turned around abruptly, smiled pleasantly, and bowed, Father-in-law!

Hehe... Hu Wenzhi patted Wen Yuanhong's shoulder while holding his beard, and Lao Huai smiled gratifiedly: Not bad, not bad, I thought you were young and not as flexible as your elder brother. It's difficult to get promoted, but I don't know that you are also lucky, it will be a long time, and you will be judged by the sixth rank! Work hard, maybe I can see you in the cabinet in my lifetime, and become a close minister of the emperor.

Wen Yuanhong nodded solemnly, Father-in-law, take care of yourself, and you will be able to wait until that day. Although I am not as good as elder brother, I will definitely not disappoint my father-in-law and mother-in-law.

What disappoints me? Shen's joyful voice came.

Wen Yuanhong raised his head, and saw that she was surrounded by servants as if she was celebrating the new year. He looked Wen Yuanhong up and down, and nodded in satisfaction, It looks different after becoming an official and a father. !

Hu Wenzhi nodded approvingly, led Wen Yuanhong to the inner courtyard, and said as he walked: Although your eldest brother has risen rapidly, it can be said that there is no one before or after, but he is fighting with his life, and you can't imitate him. Keep your feet on the ground and walk step by step. To be honest, among the civil servants, your promotion speed is already beyond the reach of others!
