poor family prodigal

The servants of the Hu family arrived at the county government office.

Sun Xianwei, the acting county magistrate, his eyes darkened: "What a Wang Yuan, how dare you force your way into a famous house and molest a good woman! Such unruly villains must be severely punished and return a bright future to Fu County. Someone is here. , pass the news to the arrester, and ask him to order all the arresters, prepare his bows and armor, and follow the county magistrate to the Hu family to get people!"

There are three things a new official needs to do when he takes office. When he first takes office as acting county magistrate, he must establish his authority!

To establish authority, you must take action on people, ordinary people will not be able to do it!

Wang Yuan, who had always had a quarrel with him and was very popular in Fu County, could just serve as a warning to the monkeys.

A while ago, he was afraid of Wang Yuan and worried about his backstage!

After yesterday, it was completely clear that Wang Yuan was chosen by the young commander entirely because of his popular song "Man Jiang Hong, Yi Wu Mu".

But I heard that the imperial court had issued an order to transfer the young marshal back to Kyoto to report on his duties!

Even if the young marshal is in Jiushan County, it is taboo for military officers to interfere in the local area, but nothing can be done to him!

Now that Wang Yuan's two major backers are gone, it's just the right time for him to establish his authority!

The most important thing is that last night, Hu Sande gave him five hundred taels of silver to help.

"promise!"

The yamen officer goes to deliver the message!

Upon hearing that Sun County Lieutenant wanted to arrest someone, or the evil star Wang Yuan, many of the detectives hesitated and turned their heads.

Xu Captou, who is now the leader of the arresting team and has the power of arresting the police alone, his face darkened: "Go back and tell the third master that we are out on business and ask him to dispatch other people!"

The officer turned around in shock: Who wouldn't call the third master the eldest master now? Xu Captou actually calls him the third master. This is going against the third master!

One of the policemen frowned and said: "Captain, Sun County Lieutenant has just been acting on his first day, and we won't give him face. What will we do in the future?"

"If you want to give me some face, go and give it to me, but I won't give it to you anyway!"

Xu Captou grabbed the oxtail knife: "We have worked together for many years. Don't blame me for not reminding you that Mr. Mingtan is not someone we can mess with!"

"Captain, what trump card does that young gentleman have? Stop hiding it!"

"The eldest master is gone. Now he has no backer. Can he fight against the third master?"

"If we can't fight, what will we do later?"

A group of detectives were crying: the gods were fighting and the little devils were suffering.

When faced with this kind of problem of taking sides, if you take the wrong side, your ancestral job will not be guaranteed, and you may even be imprisoned!

"There are some things you can't know!"

Xu Captou snorted coldly: "But if you think about it, horse owner Bo has been able to fight Sun County Lieutenant in the past two years. He only had to fight for a long time before he was so frightened that he hanged himself. I don't know how to fight him." I said, whoever is willing to come with me will still be my brother from now on! If you don’t want to, don’t force me!”

Dozens of agents looked at each other in confusion, gritted their teeth, and all followed Xu Captou and left!

Over the years, Xu Captou has stood in line among various county government officials, and he has never missed one!

This is the tumbler of Fu County officialdom. There is nothing wrong with following the team!

The yamen servant went back to deliver the message.

"what!"

Sun County Lieutenant was furious, slammed the table and said: "What a good arrester Xu, Zhao Weimin has left, and he is still praising that kid's stinky feet! I really thought that if the arrester is taken away, I will not be able to take the person. Come here." , transfer the garrison troops to me, and go to the Hu family to get people!"

……

The Hu family, in the dilapidated courtyard of the inner house!

Hu Mengying hugged her sleeping brother Abao and looked at the dilapidated huts around her with self-mockery on her face.

The second uncle's repeated threats wiped away the last trace of family affection in her heart, but she still could not be cruel.

Yesterday, he handed over the power of the family, sent his confidants back to Dahu Village, arranged three thousand burdens for Leng Yun, and then completely gave up resistance!

He was driven into this dilapidated little courtyard, and all the servants were dismissed.

Looking at the current situation, her brother's face turned red from the cold, and she hated her own weakness!

Why don't you be ruthless and let your confidants kill you and send away the second uncle who has repeatedly harmed her?

She had thought about it, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it, and now she regrets it!

She's fine, her body has grown, so it's okay to suffer a little!

But my younger brother has a brain disease, is young and growing, so how can he live such a life!

She didn't understand how hard it was for her second uncle to keep warm for so many years!

She had forgiven and spared him for hurting her time and time again, but he still did this!

thump!

Suddenly there is a sound!

Hu Mengying's expression changed, she hurriedly blocked Abao behind her, and said, "Who!"

"Miss, it's me!"

Hu Tian walked in with his waist bent!

Hu Mengying breathed a sigh of relief: "Hu Tian, ​​why didn't you leave? Didn't you go back to Dahu Village to prepare food?"

Many of her confidants were selected from her hometown and trained by herself!

"Miss, everyone is worried about you and asked me to stay and protect you secretly!"

Looking at this soft-hearted young lady, Hu Tian pitied and helplessly said: "Young Master is here to see you!"

Hu Mengying's beautiful eyes lit up, and she immediately sat down sadly: "Let the young master go back, I can't go see him!"

"Miss, please forgive me for being rude!"

Hu Tian frowned and said: "Why don't you see the young master? If you have any difficulties, just tell him no! The young master is resourceful and will definitely be able to solve it!"

"...Hu Tian, ​​there are some things you don't understand, go ahead and do it!"

Hu Mengying's eyes flashed with emotion, which soon turned into deep despair.

At first she didn't want to leave the impression of a snake, scorpion and poisonous woman in the young master's mind.

After all, the deaths of three husbands were all related to her, and she couldn't escape her involvement.

Now Leng Yun is involved in the rebellion, and she wants to provide him with food!

If the young master knew about such a major matter involving rebellion, he would have nothing to do with it.

Such a talented young master will become a general or prime minister in the future, and she does not want to affect his future.

"Yes, miss!"

Hu Tian had no choice but to hug him away!

"Master, I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to see you, it's that I can't hurt you!"

Hu Mengying murmured to herself, tears falling drop by drop.

"Sister, you are crying!"

A Bao woke up with sleepy eyes and wiped the tears from his sister's face with his chubby little hands: "Who bullied you? Is it your second uncle? A Bao go and beat him!"

"No, Abao, it's my sister who is useless and can't think of a way to get the best of both worlds!"

Holding her brother in her arms, Hu Mengying shook her head in tears.

"Sister, don't cry. Abao will help you think about it. Abao can also use his brain!"

Holding his sister in his arms, Abao frowned and began to think hard!

Holding her younger brother in her arms, Hu Mengying burst into tears: "Abao, sister is sorry for you. Sister has lost the ancestral property that her father left to you!"

"Sister, if you don't cry, you will be happy as long as you are here with Abao. It doesn't matter if you lose anything!"

Abao laughed innocently!

Holding her brother tightly, Hu Mengying felt guilty and sad, and she couldn't help but think of these two months!

When I first saw him stopping a carriage to sell soap, I felt that he was a different young man.

The second time at the county government office, he took the salt banknotes from the Liu family and lamented his boldness.

The third time Xianxiantian was saved by him, he burst into tears of gratitude, and it felt strange to see him blackmailing the bandits!

Later, Wang Mansion saw him discussing with Mr. Haitian, Fei Zhuang saw him dig a salt well in three days and persuaded eighteen village farmers overnight, Dinglongtai saw him overwhelming the audience with his words, and when the barbarians came, he saw him deciding the world by himself!

He was always able to solve these problems that ordinary people couldn't solve with ease and unexpectedly, and he made her admire, admire and fall in love again and again!

She mustered up the courage several times to reveal her feelings, but she restrained herself!

He is a talented young master, but she is just a lowly businessman, and she is still a stigmatized third marriage.

Although his innocence is still there, how can he be worthy of him!

I don't know how long it took, but the courtyard door suddenly creaked and was pushed open!

Hu Mengying looked outside and burst into tears.

Wang Yuan walked in with Erhu, three black-armored veterans, and Hu Tian!

With a tear in her eyes, Hu Menghan quickly found a wooden comb and a bronze mirror to dress up.

But there were no such things in the shabby house, which made her a little confused.

Outside the door, Hu Tian's voice sounded: "Miss, the young master is here!"

"Ah... wait a minute, it'll be ready soon!"

Based on her feelings, Hu Mengying hurriedly arranged her hair and straightened out her wrinkled clothes.

Abao looked at it in surprise, wondering why his sister was like this!

Before they could finish tidying up, the door creaked open and Wang Yuan walked in!

Hu Mengying, who was in a hurry, froze and lowered her head: "Sir, I'm sorry!"

"You are sorry for yourself!"

This simple house is not even as good as the countryside. Wang Yuan handed over the handkerchief and picked up Abao directly: "Can I take you and your sister out of here?"

I met Hu Tian just now. He already understood the situation and roughly guessed the situation!

Although he didn’t know why Hu Mengying was coerced, he would not allow this to happen!

"As long as I'm with my sister, I'm willing to go anywhere!"

Abao asked curiously: "Brother, why did you take Abao and sister away? Are you the brother-in-law?"

Wang Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Brother will help A Bao find a brother-in-law who loves you!"

Abao shook his head: "How about brother being Abao's brother-in-law? Abao feels that sister likes you, and the way she looks at you is different!"

"..."

Wang Yuan looked at Hu Mengying in surprise, wanting to see if her eyes were really different!

"Abao, don't talk nonsense!"

Hu Mengying quickly hugged A Bao over, lowered her head and said: "I'm sorry, Master, I can't leave with you. I want to stay in the Hu family. This is the ancestral property of the Hu family!"

If you agree to provide food for Leng Yun and then go to Dawangzhuang with the young master, you will harm the young master!

"You can stay in the Hu family, but you can't live like this in the Hu family!"

Wang Yuan hugged A Bao over, grabbed her little hand and said: "Let's go, I will take you to get back what belongs to you!"

"No, sir!"

Hu Mengying's delicate body trembled, and her little hand was dragged by Wang Yuan, but she shook her head desperately: "There are some things that you can't get involved in, otherwise it will harm you!"

"You are being coerced by your second uncle because of this!"

Wang Yuan snorted domineeringly: "There is nothing in this world that cannot be solved. If you can't solve that problem, just solve those who know."

"..."

Hu Mengying didn't know what to say, so she let Wang Yuantuo hold her hand and leave the house!

As soon as the group of people left the small courtyard, Hu Sande led fifty or sixty newly recruited servants and blocked the front with swords, guns and sticks.

"Little thief, I know your men are good at fighting, but I've already gone to the county office to call for help! County Captain Sun is here with his guards, wearing armor and holding bows and crossbows!"

Hu Sande said fiercely: "If you know what's going on, you can arrest me immediately and hand over the two secret recipes. I'll let you take away this stinky girl and little fool!"

"Young master, you can go alone, A Bao and I will not leave the Hu family!"

Hu Mengying took out her little hand, hugged Ah Bao, and urged: "Sir, I beg you to leave the Hu family. Some things cannot be solved by talent!"

Wang Yuan frowned!

Hu Sande sneered and threatened: "Come on, little thief, if you drive her away, I will marry her to Liu Laizi immediately!"

Liu Laizi, who was following from a distance, looked at Hu Mengying's eyes and started drooling again.
