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

Liu Yamen took some time to sort out the huge amount of information Xu Ning revealed. He pointed at the carriage and said, "You guys just kidnapped Master Zhou, right? Aren't you afraid of being kidnapped?" Will the Zhou family bite back?"

Zheng Shao Trying to imprison me...Uncle Liu, I'm afraid of the Zhou family's revenge, but I'm even more afraid of not being able to protect me and my relatives and friends."

Liu Yamen was shocked and dumbfounded by these words. He only heard from Butcher Xu that Zheng Shaoxuan had been favored by Landlord Zhou, but he did not know that Master Zhou's special hobby was also involved.

Liu Yamen asked some more detailed questions, thought for a while and said: "It's a coincidence that you are here today. The new county magistrate is going to be promoted to court today... You follow me in first, and I will find someone to inform you. Let the county magistrate arrange it." "

With Liu Yamen, who has been involved in the county government for many years, as their guide, Xu Ning and his party felt more at ease. They did not have to waste time and money to establish connections and seek an audience with the newly appointed county magistrate. This alone was enough to save them a lot of money. trouble.

The newly appointed county magistrate Chen Weifeng failed the examination for three consecutive terms. He felt that there was no hope for the imperial examination, so he sought an official position with the help of his clan brothers. He was at the stage of a new officialdom with great achievements and high morale, and he was full of drive and ambition.

As the saying goes, there are three things a new official needs to do when taking office.

County Magistrate Chen was discussing with his master what kind of case should be used to scare the monkeys. When he heard Liu Yamen’s report, he didn’t want to ignore it, but he still heard from the master that Liu Yamen had committed suicide.

He had been with the county government for many years, so he reluctantly agreed to meet because he might be surprised.

Liu Yamen brought the bloody incriminating evidence that Zheng Shaoxuan found in Master Zhou's secret room to see Magistrate Chen. After being summoned, he stood aside and listened to his verdict.

Snapped--

County Magistrate Chen was irritated by the shocking paintings. He slapped the table and stood up: "This is unreasonable! Killing such evildoers to death is not enough to make the people angry. They should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!"

The master is worried about how to clean up the mess left by the previous county magistrate. The evidence sent by Liu Yamen is enough for him to find a breakthrough and destroy the old forces headed by Landlord Zhou!

They never expected that they would be so lucky to catch up with the critical moment when the new county magistrate was about to burn three fires!

At the suggestion of his master, County Magistrate Chen decided to investigate Master Zhou's criminal facts first and collect more key evidence in order to achieve the effect of killing him with one blow and resolutely not give the old forces headed by Landlord Zhou a chance to counterattack.

County Magistrate Chen asked Zheng Shaoxuan and others to actively cooperate with the government's dispatch. After the trial was held, they had to come to the city to accuse the Zhou family of persecuting them in public.

Zheng Shaoxuan had already been mentally prepared. He did not think that he was at fault, but that the fault lay with Master Zhou who was crazy about love. He was not afraid of the shadow of his body, and he was not afraid of being the subject of gossip after dinner.

Fang Min was more mouthy than Fang Chuan. He knew that he couldn't stop those people's mouths. As long as he didn't care, other people could point fingers at him and make gossips, but they wouldn't hurt him at all.

After much hesitation, Zheng Shaoxuan did not tell Magistrate Chen the truth about the Zhou landlord joining forces with the previous magistrate to take away his fame. It's not that he still has illusions about the Zhou family, but that he doesn't have any evidence at hand.

It turns out that what he said was the truth.

What's more, there are huge implications behind the robbery of fame, and County Magistrate Chen may not be willing to get involved. If something goes wrong, it will cause a major earthquake in the officialdom!

County Magistrate Chen has just arrived and has a weak foundation. Zheng Shaoxuan does not think that the other party will be willing to take such a big risk, so he needs to wait and see.

It is worth mentioning that Liu Yamen deliberately recommended Huo Yunchao to County Magistrate Chen. When Liu Yamen said that Huo Yunchao was the scholar who took the lead in studying bamboo paper craftsmanship, he personally summoned Huo Yunchao and asked about the progress of bamboo paper craftsmanship. He generously said: "If there is any If you have any needs, just report them and I will find a solution for you."

Ordinary scholars would usually only be grateful to the county magistrate for his care and would not dare to ask for anything.

Huo Yunchao has never been afraid of the worldly view. He prides himself on being as thick-skinned as a city wall and not afraid of being criticized, otherwise he would not be able to do such shocking things as recommending himself as his wife.

Other scholars did not dare to make requests to County Magistrate Chen, but Huo Yunchao dared. Not only did he dare to make requests, but he also made very detailed requests: "The craftsmanship of bamboo paper is too complicated. I would like to ask you to allow me to observe the papermaking workshop." Study. If possible, the villain would also like to ask the adults to send papermaking craftsmen with excellent skills to Pingle Village for on-site teaching. Sir, if there is precise guidance from the papermaking craftsmen, the villain is confident that low-cost bamboo paper can be made. Blessing everyone in the world.”

After hearing these ordinary words, County Magistrate Chen was deeply shocked. Huo Yunchao had not yet obtained any honors and was still a white man, but he had the courage and magnanimity to care about the country and the people and ask for orders for the people. He was indeed an outstanding young man of our time.

model of the year.

County Magistrate Chen's first impression of Huo Yunchao was a bit better. He was the official of the county and had the authority to mobilize craftsmen from the papermaking workshop to Pingle Village to assist Huo Yunchao's papermaking project.

As for what the dispatched papermakers thought, that was not something that County Magistrate Chen and others would consider.

Papermaking craftsmen were established by the imperial court. You had to go wherever the imperial court assigned you, and you had to do whatever the imperial court asked you to do. Otherwise, you would be disobeying the government, and in serious cases, you might lose your head.

Magistrate Chen's appreciation greatly increased Huo Yunchao's confidence, and he successfully embraced the lap of his parents and officials in the county. He no longer worried that after the bamboo paper craftsmanship matured, people would pick peaches, cross rivers and demolish bridges, unload mills and kill donkeys.

Fucheng and his party gained a lot. Young Master Zhou, who was like a time bomb, was ordered by County Magistrate Chen to be taken into custody. Landlord Zhou, no matter how powerful he was, could not get Young Master Zhou back from Magistrate Chen, not to mention that he was not the only Young Master Zhou. son.

Young Master Zhou is not only the eldest son with high hopes, but also the most like Landlord Zhou when he was young, so he has been favored by Landlord Zhou for more than 20 years.

Huo Yunchao and his party of five made a rare trip to Fucheng. As their elder, Liu Yamen led the five juniors home and asked his son to entertain them while his wife and daughter-in-law prepared a large table of food.

Xu Ning has been a guest at Liu's house several times, and she took the initiative to help in the kitchen.

Aunt Liu resolutely refused to give in and said, "We are guests, so how can we trouble you guests to do anything? If word of this spreads, you, Uncle Liu, will be laughed at."

Aunt Liu has a prosperous face and a kind-hearted face. She always smiles when she speaks. At first glance, she seems to be a very easy-to-get-together person.

Huo Yunchao likes it very much

When getting along with such a cheerful and generous person, he knew that Xu Ning was a master who could never take a moment of leisure. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Aunt Liu, I cook all the meals at home, why don't you let me show you my skills?"

There was no trace of surprise on Aunt Liu's face. She heard Liu Yamen mention what kind of man Xu Ning's husband was, and said with a smile: "Chao'er, I've often heard your Uncle Liu praise you for your good cooking. Today, Let Aunt Liu taste the food you cooked."
