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

"Do you know that the Xu Mansion has been stolen? My uncle and grandma live across from the Xu Mansion. I heard from her that the Xu Mansion was noisy in the morning, saying that the houses of Xu Zhixian, Mrs. Xu and her little daughter were all stolen. , the jewelry box disappeared, and such a large official leather box was also missing. Xu Mansion was patrolled by officials every night. I don’t know how these thieves got in and could carry away such a large box without being noticed. , You are really capable.”

"Really or not? Who is so bold as to steal into Xuzhi County's house?"

"Really! My neighbor's seventh aunt, her uncle's daughter, and her mother-in-law's third aunt's brother are working as cooks in Xu Mansion. I heard that Mrs. Xu fainted from anger. The jewelry box contained thousands of taels of jewelry. Ah, it’s just gone. If you dare to sneak into the magistrate’s house, you must be tired of living.”

"A thousand taels? I'm afraid it's more than that. Haven't you heard? The gifts that Mrs. Xu received for her birthday banquet were over a thousand taels. How could a jewelry box be worth only a thousand taels? I'm afraid it's several thousand taels."

"I'm so envious. My family only makes a hundred taels a year from selling spices. A banquet hosted by someone else would be enough for my family to make ten years."

"If you are envious, you can also support your son in studying and let him come back with a top score. When he becomes an official, he will naturally be rich. Even if you don't want to be a corrupt official, someone will give you money."

"Shhhhhhh, keep your voice down, the walls have ears -"

"You all don't want to die? You dare to arrange this. Let's all disperse. Don't gather together. Be careful that the official will hear you and take you to prison."

When Yan Xia passed by an alley, he heard seven or eight women gossiping about the Xu family.

It seems that there are many good things in those jewelry boxes, which can make Mrs. Xu faint with excitement. They are probably very valuable. She can't wait to open the jewelry box and take a look.

Yan Xia was anxious but not in a hurry. She walked slowly down the street.

She was going back to Shuangqiao Town early the day after tomorrow. Xiao He was about to give birth and she had to choose a gift for Xiao He and her future granddaughter.

At that time, the county government was already in trouble.

As soon as Shi Qi became the leader, something big happened to the Xu family. Early in the morning, the magistrate pointed their noses at them and scolded them, saying that they were trash for allowing the Xu family to be stolen, even if the Xu family was stolen. It's none of their business, after all, they are the county government.

But as a subordinate.

Shi Qi could only endure it.

Anyway, the magistrate can just finish scolding them and vent his anger.

It's not like I'm going to kill them.

After that experience, Shi Qi became much more courageous.

"Xiao Qi, no no, Brother Shi, should we go to the street to help search."

One of the officials made a fuss and thought Shi Qi was the former minion.

After saying this, he looked timid.

He was probably afraid that Shi Qi would be petty and vengeful, and might cause trouble for him in the future.

"No, we just need to guard the county office. Patrolling is not our job."

Shi Qi didn't care. With Xie Yan'an's experience, he finally understood that he must have a good relationship with the people around him, otherwise they would harm him sooner or later. At least he would lose his job, and at worst his life would be in danger.

If Xie Yanan hadn't been too arrogant before, he wouldn't have been able to bribe the entire team's officials with just a little money.

"Okay, you are our leader, and we all obey you. Then I will go in first."

"Well, you go."

Shi Qi stood at the gate of the county government office and shook his arms. He was tired from sitting all the time, but the midday sun was very hot and dazzling, and he was covered in sweat after standing for a while.

I had to go back to the guard room.

"Where is Xie Guancha? He asked me to go to his house to look for him last night. Unexpectedly, I went to his house, but there was no one at home."

As soon as he entered the door, he heard someone talking behind him. Shi Qi turned his head and saw Wang Guangyao of the Wang family leaning against the door with his head tilted.

"Him? Haha, you want to see him? Go to the mass grave. Remember to go early, otherwise it will stink." Before Shi Qi could speak, the person next to him spoke first.

"What? Mass grave? What's going on?" Wang Guangyao was shocked and leaned on it without hesitation.

He walked in and asked the person who had just spoken.

"I was executed by the magistrate. If I were you, I would run away because you know exactly what happened. You dared to slander Yan's pastry shop that the flower cakes were poisonous. The real shopkeeper of Yan's pastry shop came and climbed on top of her. If you kill Old Madam Xu, don’t you have to settle the accounts with me? If you don’t run away, there will be more corpses in the mass grave~”

These words frightened Wang Guangyao into a cold sweat. On a hot day, his limbs felt cold.

"I, I, I, I..."

He couldn't say anything except the word "I".

"What nonsense are you talking to him about? Come to the county office if you have nothing to do. Next time I see you, I will let you taste the taste of caning."

Shi Qi drew out the saber from his waist and slowly approached.

Wang Guangyao was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly. He didn't pay attention. He stepped on his left foot with his right foot and dropped it. He also lost one of his shoes. He didn't have time to pick it up, so he ran away.

"Next time you see him, just drive him away. Don't talk so much nonsense to him. Watch your mouth carefully, be careful that trouble comes from your mouth!" Shi Qi said to several people in the room.

"Yes, Brother Shi."

"Yes, boss."

"......"

Even though Shi Qi is the youngest in this room, his position still allows these officials who have been working as officials for more than ten years to call him brother Shi with respect, which makes Shi Qi feel extremely excited.

It's just that he doesn't show it on his face.

Aunt Yan said that only low-key people can achieve great things.

The louder the person, the faster he will die.

He should always remember this sentence.

"mother--"

"No, thank you..." Wang Guangyao ran all the way back home, ignoring the stares of passers-by, but as soon as he entered the house, his words were stuck in his throat.

"Son, what's going on? They said you mortgaged your house to a gambling house and said you owed hundreds of taels of gambling debt. Go and report it to the official. They are going to kick us out and take us away. The house—"

It turned out that a thug from a gambling house had broken into his house and was rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to search for things.

Wang Chen, Wang Shufang and Wang Guangyao's daughter-in-law Yu Nian'er were blocked in a corner by thugs and could not move.

"Reporter? Haha, you didn't pay attention to the reporter. Look, it's clearly written in black and white on the paper. If the money is not returned within three days, this house will be ours, and we will have to compensate our gambling house another two hundred taels of silver. Take the money bring it on."

A heavy-backed thug took out a piece of paper and waved it in his hand. He was as strong as a hill, wearing cotton and linen clothes with open front, and the muscles in his chest rose and fell with his voice.

Wang Guangyao swallowed and ran away.

"Catch him for me! No one can escape from me yet."

Sure enough, Wang Guangyao didn't even reach the entrance of the alley when he was carried back by the gambling shop's thugs like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.
