The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

In the living room of the front yamen, the three of them had a lot of breakfast. After all, the private school was opened today, which was a political achievement of educating and enlightening people, so Xie Tingwen naturally had to make an appearance.

If he doesn't eat more for breakfast, he will be hungry at noon, and then he, as an official, will be embarrassed.

As the three of them finished their last mouthful of porridge, Lian Qiao led the maid to clear away the leftovers. Lian Xi was also very tactful and offered each of them a cup of tea.

Xie Tingwen picked up the teacup, took a sip and said, "Shu Ting! I'm afraid you came to see your father today for more than just breakfast!"

Xie Ningzhi also became interested. Picking his teeth, he asked with a cynical attitude, "Little sister! I'm also curious, what interests you so much?"

Xie Shuting had no intention of hiding anything. She stroked the teacup and said, "Father! Did those hooligans make a move?"

"Thug?" Xie Ningzhi frowned, obviously not understanding the deeper meaning of Xie Shuting's words.

On the other hand, Xie Tingwen's expression changed. His originally puzzled expression was now filled with a rare smile. He asked loudly, "What are you going to do?"

"Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, set up a tree to gain trust." Xie Shuting said calmly, stroking the cup.

At this time, Uncle Qin outside the door walked over quickly, stroked his hand towards the three people and said, "Master! Captain Cao is waiting outside, saying that it was the young lady's order."

"Yeah!~"

Xie Shuting nodded and said softly, "Uncle Qin! Please invite him in."

"Yes!" Uncle Qin responded repeatedly and quickly left the living room.

Cao Zhen received the summons and lifted his robe without delaying for even a second. Not long after, he heard footsteps rushing outside the door.

"Your humble servant greets you, sir." Cao Zhen immediately bowed his head.

"Yeah!~"

Xie Tingwen nodded, then raised his hand to signal the other party to stand up.

He was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xie Shuting and said, "Shuting! You should tell us about this!"

"Yes, father."

Xie Shuting leaned forward and responded. She glanced at Cao Zhen and said, "Captain Cao! You must arrest the people on this list immediately. The reason is that they accepted bribes and used their power to pressure others."

Just as Cao Zhen was puzzled, Lian Xi took out a piece of rice paper with people's names written on it from his sleeve and handed it to him.

Cao Zhen took the rice paper and glanced at the list of dozens of names. He was suddenly shocked and said, "Sir! These people were all criminals before. If we arrest them now, the yamen will probably think too much."

"Captain Cao! Go find the owner of Yuelai Inn. He will come forward to testify and prove the guilt of the people on the list." Xie Shuting said slowly.

"Yes!" Cao Zhen bowed his head and responded.

Although he didn't know the details, now that he had chosen to move these people, it proved that the decree issued by Lord Xie before had been hindered.

When thinking about this, Cao Zhen still had some concerns and said, "Sir! I wonder what to do with them after they are captured? Should they be put in jail?"

Before Xie Shuting could say anything, Xie Tingwen said coldly, "No! Announce the charges in public on the execution platform. If the punishment is serious, the punishment will be thirty strokes of the cane. If you are alive, you will all be forced to do labor service for me."

Xie Ningzhi heard the hidden meaning in the words, which was that the thirty lashes must be intended to take the lives of those people. His face couldn't help but look a little solemn.

Xie Shuting seemed calm, after all, he was the one who had given Xie Tingwen a plan. It was too troublesome to send the death penalty to the Ministry of Justice for approval, but it was easy to torture someone to death.

Those hooligans had no backing and no achievements, so it was no exaggeration for the people to call for their death. Before they died, they helped Xie Tingwen gain prestige, which was the greatest value they could bring.

Cao Zhen was a farmer through and through, and he did not understand the hidden meaning of Xie Tingwen's words. He thought for a moment and bowed his head and said, "I will obey your orders and go down to arrange it right away."

Seeing Cao Zhen was about to leave, Xie Shuting stroked the teacup slowly and said, "Captain Cao! Arrest them today, go back and talk to your wife tonight, and execute them in public tomorrow."

Unexpectedly! As soon as Xie Shuting finished speaking, three doubtful eyes came over. Xie Tingwen and Xie Ningzhi pondered for a moment and instantly understood Xie Shuting's intention.

Xie Tingwen coughed awkwardly, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Captain Cao, you should put those people in jail first and think about it more at night."

Cao Zhen nodded mechanically without knowing why, then stroked his hand and said, "I... obey your command!"

Looking at Cao Zhen's puzzled back, Xie Ningzhi couldn't help laughing and said, "Captain Cao is really honest. He didn't understand the hidden meaning of my father's words."

"Oh!~"

Xie Shuting stroked the cup and chuckled, "Brother, did you hear it?"

"Of course not, father has made it clear..." Xie Ningzhi felt his heart tremble before he even finished speaking.

He couldn't help but look at Xie Tingwen. Seeing her deep eyes, he swallowed his saliva subconsciously and said, "Little sister, I have something else to do. See you at the entrance of the private school later."

Without waiting for Xie Tingwen to reprimand him, Xie Ningzhi's feet seemed to be greased and he quickly fled from the place of trouble.

Xie Tingwen also shook his head helplessly and said, "To say that he is smart is indeed a bit capable, but to say that he is reckless is also a bit outspoken."

"My brother is still young, there is no need for father to be angry." Xie Shuting responded calmly.

Unexpectedly! As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly changed.

Xie Tingwen looked at Xie Shuting meaningfully, and asked solemnly: "He is your elder brother, and he is not young anymore, but..."

Xie Shuting knew she had said something wrong, and quickly adjusted her mood and said, "Father! I have been with my grandfather since I was a child, and I think I know much more than my brother."

After Xie Shuting finished speaking, she didn't dare to look directly into Xie Tingwen's eyes. She felt a little guilty anyway. After all, the blame was passed around and only fell on her grandfather.

Fortunately, Xie Tingwen did not suspect anything. He stood up, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Father needs to go to Shangdefang first. Will you go there later or do you have other plans?"

"Dad, please go first! I will go directly to the private school later." Xie Shuting stood up quickly and said.

"Okay!~"

Xie Tingwen responded, then led Uncle Qin out of the living room and went straight out of the county government office to Shangdefang.

Shangdefang is the place where signs and plaques are made in Laigu County. Xie Tingwen went to Shangdefang first to pick up the door greeting that had been written in advance.

As for the plaque of the private school, he had already arranged for Uncle Qin to deliver it in advance. As for the gate welcome, he presented it as a gift in his capacity as a commoner of Laigu County.

the other side.

After Cao Zhen received the assignment, he rushed into the classroom with more than 30 yamen runners. According to the list given by Lian Xi, he arrested all the people who were still sleeping.

The leading man stared at Cao Zhen fiercely and said, "Captain Cao! What do you mean by this?"

Cao Zhen would not tolerate it, and he bowed his hand towards his left shoulder and said, "The Lord has an order! Gou Tong, Jiang Xian, Fang Lin... and others, who accepted bribes and gave bribes, will be taken to jail first and will be punished tomorrow."

The bound yamen runners cried out, "Brother Gou! Brother Gou, please say something!"

Seeing that Gou Tong did not beg for mercy, the crowd quickly changed their target and kowtowed to Cao Zhen, saying, "Captain Cao! You are a great man and you don't bear grudges. We were wrong."

Cao Zhen ignored him completely and waved his hand, saying, "Take him away."

The guards did not dare to delay and escorted everyone out of the room. No matter how much they cried and shouted, they could not change Cao Zhen's decision.
