Huazhi County has always been a docile personality, but it is swift and resolute to marry a concubine. The next day Su Ya nodded and agreed, Huazhi County found someone and started to make trouble. After Su Xuntian heard the news, he immediately went to the back house to ask his sister about the situation, and he couldn't help being furious when he learned the reason.
Su Xuntian is not as easy-talking as Su Ya, as a brother, he naturally protects his sister, Su Xuntian immediately ran to the post station to find Hua Qingfeng and made a fuss, talking from time to time about how much the Su family had favored him when the Hua family was down, The annoyance of Huazhi County's ridicule turned into anger.
The magistrate of Hua really couldn't embarrass himself anymore, and angrily ordered the police to throw Su Xuntian to the ground and beat him hard. This made Su Ya annoyed, the husband and wife had a cold war again, Huazhi County didn't care, this side was busy with all kinds of affairs in the county, and there was still someone to help choose a concubine.
Although Huazhi County is not very respected in the officialdom, he is a seventh-rank official after all, and the small family is still rushing to curry favor. It didn't take long to choose a girl from a family. She was sixteen years old and had a pretty face. Dignified, Huazhi County was very satisfied after seeing it. Although he is busy with official duties and has no time to arrange weddings, he has given the dowry first.
Su Xuntian was beaten 20 times, his buttocks were smashed, and he lay down for a day after applying medicine. Although the pain was not so painful, he was still swollen. He couldn't stay at home, so he asked someone to carry him , went up the mountain to find Ye Xiaotian, and complained to Ye Xiaotian angrily.
Ye Xiaotian was lying down, Su Xuntian was lying on his stomach, a pair of troubled brothers. After hearing what Su Xuntian said, Ye Xiaotian said disapprovingly: "I said brother, that's why?"
"hold head high!"
"It's obviously your fault!"
Su Xuntian stared and said, "I'm wrong? What's wrong with me?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "What's wrong with you? There are many things wrong with you! Come on, let's talk about the first one, your sister didn't give birth to an heir for the Hua family, did she?"
Su Xuntian said: "Yes! But, my sister often seeks medical advice and medicine. The doctor has already said that my sister is fine..."
Ye Xiaotian interrupted him and said: "But, who can guarantee that the Hua family has no children, it must not be your sister's fault? If you let him take a concubine or have no children, he can't blame anyone. But if you don't let him take a concubine, It's okay to say now, but in the future, when he is old and has no children, if he blames your sister for this crime, can you explain it clearly?"
Su Xuntian choked his neck and stopped talking.
Ye Xiaotian said: "When the time comes, your sister will be responsible for all the crimes of cutting off children and grandchildren. Your sister is a smart person, so she won't stop her. She is the magistrate's wife, and she agrees to it. What kind of dance does your brother-in-law dance? Is it your fault?"
Su Xuntian rubbed his chin viciously, but couldn't think of a rebuttal.
Ye Xiaotian said again: "Furthermore, even if it is not for the sake of staying in the future, it is common for rich and powerful people to buy concubines and hire sex. If your sister comes forward to stop it, there is no reason to stand up, let alone you as a brother-in-law. If you are the county My lord, I think you have already taken ten or eight concubines."
Su Xuntian laughed dryly twice, touching the wound on his body, and couldn't help but let out another "ouch".
Ye Xiaotian said: "This is the second problem, let's talk about the third one. You can't talk about that at home after you go home? Why do you quarrel with your brother-in-law in private? It's just your housework, but you should Are you doing the right thing to prevent the magistrate from stepping down in front of so many people?"
Ye Xiaotian turned his body sideways, and continued: "What's especially wrong is that you shouldn't mention your family's favor to him! Don't say that you shouldn't say it in public, and you shouldn't say it in private."
Su Xuntian widened his eyes and said: "Why can't you say it? He really relied on my family, otherwise he would have today?"
Ye Xiaotian hated iron and steel and said: "You! If you don't say it, doesn't he know? You can only make him feel humiliated if you bring it up!"
Su Xuntian resentfully said: "He didn't feel humiliated when he used my family's money, but now he feels humiliated?"
Ye Xiaotian said with emphasis: "That's right! The difference lies in the past and the present! Anyway, he is now the magistrate, an official, and he has his dignity. If you raise it like this, it is a humiliation to him! Brother Xuntian , even if he was very grateful to your Su family, but you always talk about it like this, as time goes on, it will only make him bored, until he regards this kindness as a humiliation, and then... "
Su Xuntian was dumbfounded, stunned for a while, and murmured: "Will it be like this?"
Ye Xiaotian squinted at him and said, "Think of yourself as your brother-in-law, think about it, if someone keeps reminding you and embarrassing you like this in your ear, will you be angry or not?"
Su Xuntian scratched the back of his head, closed his eyes and meditated. After a while, Su Xuntian suddenly opened his eyes, Ye Xiaotian still stared at him and asked, "How is it?"
Su Xuntian said with a serious face: "That's right! If I were the magistrate, I would marry at least eight concubines!"
Ye Xiaotian was stunned: "You have been thinking for a long time, and you are thinking about this?"
Su Xuntian sneered and said, "It wasn't originally, but when I imagined myself as the magistrate, that's all I thought about."
"You kid..."
Ye Xiaotian was angry and funny at the same time, but he also knew that Su Xuntian's half-joking remark was to open up his knot. Ye Xiaotian really regards Su Xuntian as his friend, and naturally he doesn't want him to quarrel with his brother-in-law, making the house uneasy, seeing that he finally wants to let go, he feels very relieved.
At this time, Hua Yunfei stepped into the door in a hurry, and when he saw Ye Xiaotian, he beamed and said: "Brother, I have news, ah... Bantou Su!"
Ye Xiaotian didn't avoid Su Xuntian, because as soon as Hua Yunfei said it, he knew it must be about those bandits. There was no need to hide this matter from Su Xuntian, Ye Xiaotian happily said: "Any news? Tell me quickly. "
"yes!"
Hua Yunfei said a few words to Ye Xiaotian about what he found out, and I have to say that Ye Xiaotian's recruitment of spies from the local mountain people was indeed very effective. The 100,000 mountains are boundless. It would be too deep, and it is almost impossible to investigate such a group of bandits who are running around and committing crimes. Hong Baichuan and his party are all good at detecting their whereabouts, and they are still wandering endlessly in the mountains and forests. However, using the network of local mountain people, some minor changes can never be hidden from the government.
The news this time was discovered by a hunter in the mountains. His family of three lived on a hilltop in the mountains, and he would only go out of the mountains to change some daily necessities. There are nearly a thousand people active in the nearby mountains, so how can we hide it from this Orion, but this Orion does not care about world affairs, and has no idea of going anywhere else. He just raised his own caution to prevent his family from being discovered by them.
When the old Orion went out to exchange for salt and rice noodles, he chatted with the family he often dealt with, and the man in that family was the uncle of a man hired by the government as a spy. Hope, I just got such news.
When the news reached Hua Yunfei, he immediately went there himself. As long as he was given an approximate area, such a large team would never be able to hide it from his eyes. Hua Yunfei immediately rushed back to report to Huazhi County. Jing Qianhu was not there at the time, and Huazhi County had to send someone to find Jing Qianhu, so Hua Yunfei took the opportunity to report to Ye Xiaotian.
Ye Xiaotian naturally understands the meaning of Hua Yunfei's coming, so participating is meritorious! After hearing this, he felt a little moved. The last time the team that wiped out the "One Dragon" team was actually all his credit, but he pushed it away, but this time it was not the case. He was under the pressure of being promoted to the eighth level in two years, so it is always right to accumulate more credits .
However, his injury has not healed now, although the injury is not serious, but the wound has not healed, how can he travel across mountains and rivers? If someone carried it... Isn't it too obvious that this work has been robbed? Will it arouse Huazhi County's resentment? Otherwise, this opportunity will be let go? Even if the bandits' lair is found, it is not certain whether they will be able to achieve results.
Ye Xiaotian was hesitating, Ruo Xiaosheng rushed to report: "My lord, a Jing Qianhu and county lord have arrived."
When Ye Xiaotian heard this, he raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't quite understand the purpose of these two people. Ye Xiaotian hurriedly signaled to Hua Yunfei, Hua Yunfei exited the bedroom knowingly, and Su Xuntian also yelled: " Get me out, hurry up, get me out!"
Although Su Xuntian's heart has been resolved, he still can't get over his face for a while. He was beaten up by his brother-in-law just now, so Su Xuntian doesn't want to meet him here. Su Xuntian also asked someone to carry him out, and Ye Xiaotian ordered someone to invite Jing Qianhu and Huazhi County.
Jing Qianhu and Hua Zhixian entered the bedroom, Ye Xiaotian was asking Duo Ni to help him up. When Jing Qianhu saw it, he hurriedly said: "Oh, Ye Xiancheng, you are injured, don't get up, lest you break the wound."
Hua Zhixian also said: "Yes, Ye Xiancheng, you lie down, lie down, there is no need to get up."
Ye Xiaotian sat down leaning against the quilt, and said with a smile: "It's okay, please sit down, my lords. My lords, you are busy people, why come here when you have time?"
Both of these two people had visited him before, and at this time they couldn't help but greet him a few more times before turning to the main topic. Jing Qianhu said in a rough voice: "Brother Xiaotian, thanks to the good idea you gave us, we have indeed found out the whereabouts of those bandits. Brother, I will send troops to encircle and suppress these bandits soon. You are for brother Those who come up with ideas will always know that you will be heard, if there is no you in this matter, there will be no such opportunity, I, Lao Jing, is a kind person, there is no reason to leave you alone to receive merit."
Ye Xiaotian couldn't help being moved when he heard that, he was a civil servant, even if he didn't go out to fight, as long as he could find a name to intervene in it, then he wouldn't be able to get his share of the planning. Brother Jing is a warrior after all, he should show his loyalty!
Ye Xiaotian raised his eyebrows happily and said: "Why, brother Jing already has a way to deal with them?"
Jing Peng said: "Hey, kill the thieves, what else can I do? Soldiers come to block, water comes to the soil, brother, I will lead the troops to rush up the mountain, I don't believe that the mob is the opponent of our army."
Ye Xiaotian frowned slightly, and said: "It's true that the bandits are no match for the army, but they occupy an advantageous position, and they may not dare to fight. As long as they run away as soon as they see you going up the mountain, they will never be wiped out."
Jing Peng said disapprovingly: "It's not easy to wipe them out. As long as I can get a few heads, I will have an explanation to the court. I'm afraid they have already sold off the baggage. How can I get it back?"
Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said: "Now the rumors are getting tighter, I'm afraid they may not be able to sell off. Besides, getting a few heads is not the same as defeating these bandits..."
Ye Xiaotian frowned, suddenly thinking about it, and said overjoyedly: "There is a way, brother Jing, I have a way, you can see if it works, although it may not be very effective, but it is better to bring a few more heads back. It can be done."
Jing Peng's spirit was greatly lifted, and he said, "What's your idea?"
When Ye Xiaotian said his thoughts, Jing Peng thought about it carefully, slapped his thigh and said: "It works! Hahaha, Brother Xiaotian, you are so smart. This method makes it possible. Master Hua, how about it? I'll just say we should Let’s talk to brother Xiaotian, you still think it’s troublesome, shall we come this time?”
Hua Zhixian was a little embarrassed, and said in a sarcastic manner: "This county... this county thinks that Ye Xiancheng is injured and should not be disturbed."
Ye Xiaotian glanced at him, secretly contemptuous: "This Huazhi County is not good at grabbing power and doing things, but grabbing credit is not to be left behind, so why not bother, it is obviously because I am afraid that I will share his credit."
Ye Xiaotian didn't say anything, just vaguely said a few words. Anyway, with his strategy now, as long as this matter is successful, his share of the credit will definitely be indispensable.
The three of them negotiated and decided, Hua Zhixian and Jing Qianhu turned to leave, Ye Xiaotian struggled to get up and see them off, but was held down by the two, so he sat down.
Jing Qianhu walked to the door, patted his forehead suddenly, and said to Ye Xiaotian as if he just remembered: "Oh, look at me, I am careless and careless, I almost forgot about it. Brother Xiaotian, once something happens here , my brother has to go back, and I have to go to Nanjing to make it clear about the robbery of the luggage. If you have anything to say to Master Hongyun, you might as well write a letter first, and then my brother will give it to you Take it!"
What Jing Qianhu said was very casual, but Ye Xiaotian laughed dumbfounded when he heard it. No wonder Jing Qianhu was so eager to share credit with him. It turned out that he wanted to use his relationship to draw closer to Zhang Shangshu's family of the Ministry of War. Ye Xiaotian gave him a knowing look, and said with a smile: "Brother Lao Jing, I will write this letter!"
