Although Mr. Zhang was displeased, but because the magistrate was still here, he couldn't get angry, so he could only stare at Mrs. Jiang occasionally.

After the magistrate reprimanded Mr. Zhang, his eyes fell on County Magistrate Duan again. He looked at County Magistrate Duan and said, "Today I was going to your government office to discuss something with you, but I missed it so early in the morning. After some inquiries, I found out that you took away several students from Ningfu Academy early in the morning and asked them to come to Lujia Village, did something happen here?"

The words of the magistrate made Zhao Tianqi, who was standing aside, "thump" in his heart.

He also heard a little bit about his son bullying Tong Sheng in Ningfu Academy, but he didn't take it seriously, anyway, his son didn't make any big mistakes.

What's more, I am the county magistrate, and no one dares to resist me, so I turned a blind eye to this matter, and muddled through it in such a muddled way.

But who would have thought that Duan Kang'an, a bastard, actually helped the younger brother of a country woman to arrest his son. When he heard about it, he rushed from the government office to Lujia Village. He wanted to take his son away quietly. It was such an unfortunate coincidence that the magistrate also came to Lujia Village.

"I'm going to tell you about the Ningfu Academy. Master Zhang's son took the lead and led some children from the academy to bully other children..."

"You're talking nonsense! I didn't take the lead at all! It was Wang Tianen who took the lead..."

"Zhao Qianyu, don't go too far! This matter is clearly your plan. You said that Jiang Zhishan couldn't win him over, so you tried to get him out of the academy. Now that the matter has been revealed, you are so quick to throw dirty water!" The salt merchant His son Wang Tianen immediately retorted when Zhao Qianyu bit him back.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can only hear that what Duan County Magistrate said just now was very euphemistic. Duan County Magistrate did not want to make this matter a big deal, but who would have expected Zhao Qianyu and Wang Tianen to come in front of the magistrate? A dog bites a dog.

When Master Zhao heard what his son said, if it wasn't for the presence of the prefect, there would be a high probability that he would teach his son a lesson.

Seeing Lord Zhifu's face getting darker and darker, Lord Zhao can only pray secretly for good luck at this moment.

"Enough! Reading and literacy is to make you more cultivated and connotative, not to let you form gangs to bully other children!" The prefect scolded coldly.

Seeing the angry expression on the magistrate's face, everyone knelt down on the ground sparsely. Jiang Ling was a little speechless, kneeling for rewards, and even more for punishments.

I don't know how many times I have kneeled for a while, and my knees hurt a little. It seems that I have to make some knee pads someday.

"You all get up, this matter has nothing to do with you!" The magistrate said coldly.

"Sister-in-law Jiang, is brother Zhishan at home? Why haven't you gone to school yet?" A voice suddenly came from outside Jiang Ling's house, and then a village woman pushed the door open.

The village woman was startled when she saw a group of people standing in the yard of Jiang Ling's house, especially when she saw a few people in official uniforms among the group, she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to pay her respects.

The magistrate hurriedly got the village woman up, looked at the village woman with interest and said, "You just said school? What school?"

This village woman has been doing farm work all her life, and she has never seen such a battle. She was pale and swallowed with sweat on her forehead, her lips and teeth trembling, "Ah... learn... learn... learn."

"Report to my lord, it's not a school, it's just my younger brother Jiang Zhishan teaching some children to read and write!" The village woman was so frightened that she couldn't say anything, Jiang Ling hurried to the village woman and said to the magistrate.

"Oh? Jiang Zhishan? Hmm... I seem to be familiar with this name!" The magistrate stroked his beard and pondered.

After a few seconds, the magistrate's eyes fell on Jiang Zhishan and asked casually, "Are you from Ningfu Academy?"

Jiang Zhishan saluted and said, "My lord, yes."

"That's right, I once heard the gentleman from Ningfu Academy mention you, saying that you have a very high chance of being a scholar, but shouldn't you be studying in the academy now? How could you teach children to read and write in Lujia Village? "The magistrate seemed to think of something, and asked with a frown.

"My lord, this is what I want to tell you. Mr. Zhao's young master and the salt merchant's young master together framed Jiang Zhishan with a group of children. Jiang Zhishan was finally expelled by the husband without a word. I came here today to clear his innocence!" Duan The county magistrate walked up to the magistrate and said.

The prefect glanced at Zhao Tianqi who was almost sweating beside him. He has been in the officialdom for many years and has seen all kinds of turmoil. He naturally knows about this kind of thing. Although he is angry, Zhao Tianqi is his favorite student after all.

With so many people present at this meeting, he could only bear it and not have an attack.

He continued to stroke his beard and nodded: "Well, since the matter has been resolved, I just took me to your academy to have a look!"

"My lord, this place is dilapidated and dilapidated. If you go, I'm afraid you will spoil your precious feet. I hope you think twice!" Zhao Tianqi said from the side.

"Huh!" The magistrate snorted coldly, looked at Zhao Tianqi and scolded: "Why? Reading is also very honorable? Zhao Tianqi, have you read all your books to the stomach of a dog? Everything is inferior but reading is high! Back then I How did I tell you! Come on! Lead the way!"

"My lord, can I have a word?" Jiang Ling asked.

"Oh? What do you want to say?" The prefect squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Ling strangely.

"Master Zhifu, you are an official, and we are the people. To us villagers, you are like a cloud in the sky that we will never be able to touch in this life. If you pass by so rashly, the children will definitely be panic-stricken. You are good at teaching or It will also be affected, it is not easy for children to read and write, and it will be the autumn harvest soon, and the children will have to participate in the autumn harvest, and the study at this time will be squeezed out of time!"

The magistrate nodded repeatedly when he heard Jiang Ling's words, and he said to Jiang Ling: "You are right, the matter is settled now, Kang An, you go back with me, I have some things to discuss with you!"

County magistrate Duan nodded and followed behind the magistrate, who suddenly stopped after walking a few steps. He turned his head and glanced at Zhao Tianqi, who was pale, and then said: "Tianqi, your son is very stubborn. Lack of discipline, today Just let him stay here for a month, Jiang's ability to teach such an excellent son must be extraordinary!"

After Jiang Ling heard this, she only felt a "buzz" in her brain. She never dreamed that the magistrate would say these words. Her four children are enough headaches, and such a little bastard will come.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ling quickly stepped forward, bowed to the magistrate, and said, "Master magistrate, forgive me for being unreasonable. The woman cannot agree to your request. The woman already has four children who need to be disciplined, and she is busy running around on weekdays. If Mr. Zhao is delicate and fleshy, if something goes wrong in the house of the commoner, the commoner will not be able to pay for it even if she has ten thousand lives!"

"It's okay, since you are allowed to discipline, you can follow your usual discipline method. If there is any difference, the magistrate Zhao will be responsible for it!" The prefect glanced at Zhao Tianqi and added: "Tianqi, what do you think?"
