Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Qing'an County, He family.

The joy of reunion lasted for a cup of tea.

Yang Ruoqing and the others entered the He family.

The main room was brightly lit, the He mother and daughter were welcoming guests warmly, and the servants were busy serving tea and water.

When He's mother knew that no one had eaten dinner, she quickly ordered the servants to cook in the backyard.

He Lian'er was busy looking at the children, while Yang Ruoqing and Xiaohua were holding Niu Niu. The atmosphere was no different from every previous reunion.

However, when Yang Huazhong looked around, he found that one person was missing.

"Where is my father-in-law? Isn't he at home?" he asked.

As he asked this question, the smiles on the He mother and daughter's faces dimmed, and the other people in the hall also noticed that the atmosphere was not right.

Xiao An recalled He Lian'er's strange behavior before, "Yeah, where's my father-in-law? Why can't I see him?"

When asked about this, the mother and daughter looked at each other in bewilderment. Tears immediately rolled out of He's mother's eyes, and she sobbed: "Your father-in-law... was arrested, and our shop was also closed!"

"How could this happen? What happened? Lian'er, tell me quickly!"

……

After a cup of tea, the whole story was sorted out.

Xiao An was so angry that he almost smashed the tea bowl in front of him. He held the sword at his waist, turned around and rushed to the Hu family to kill Hu Xuesong and Hu Wangjia, father and son.

But he was stopped by Yang Ruoqing.

"What are you doing? Our Yang family convinces people with reason. We must be reasonable in everything we do. We can't just fight and kill people casually." Yang Ruoqing said.

Yang Huazhong and Sun were frightened when they saw Xiao An looking like he was going to kill someone. When they saw Yang Ruoqing stop Xiao An and say so, they hurried over and grabbed Xiao An's arms on the left and right.

"Your sister is right. There is no logic in everything."

"Your brother-in-law is here, your sister is here, and your brother has just been promoted to the governor of Changhuai Prefecture. You can't kill anyone at this critical moment!"

Xiao An looked at his family members who were trying to dissuade him, and realized that he had indeed been impulsive before. Killing someone means paying with one's life. The other party is the county magistrate's brother-in-law. Killing someone is indeed a bit difficult to deal with, and it will directly cause trouble for his brother who has just become the governor.

But if he didn't fight and kill them, it would be difficult to calm Xiao An's anger.

"I heard Lian'er mention it to me before. She said that someone on this street had taken a fancy to the cedar tree in our yard and offered a price to buy it, but we didn't sell it." Xiao An recalled what happened before and said, "I just listened to it casually at the time. When buying and selling things, it's important to have mutual consent."

"We don't need the money from selling the tree, and I originally thought that this matter would be over, but I didn't expect the other party to be such a family. They would do something sneaky instead of doing it openly. For the sake of a tree, just for the sake of viewing the world, they just disregarded other people's property and lives. It's so inhumane!"

Who says it isn’t? This is simply a wolf of wealth and a tiger of leopard!
At that moment, Yang Huazhong and Sun both sighed. If this kind of thing happened in the village, at most it would just be a quarrel between two families. It would not happen that they would shut down someone's shop and put someone in jail!
Luo Fengtang immediately stood up and said to everyone, "Don't panic, I'm going to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice in Qing'an County now."

Luo Fengtang is not only the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, but also the Great General Protecting the Nation of Da Qi. He has a very extensive network of contacts in the Da Qi army.

Some of these military connections were from superiors who had served him well and who appreciated him when he first joined the army.

Some were his comrades-in-arms, who had fought bloody battles together, fought against life and death together, and never abandoned or given up on each other. Others were his subordinates, the generals he had brought up.

Even though the older ones have retired from the army, they still keep in touch with Luo Fengtang. Most of the younger generations in their schools and families are also familiar with Luo Fengtang.

Among those who were transferred to other government departments to serve as officials, many were Luo Fengtang's former comrades-in-arms or subordinates.

In Qing'an County, although Luo Fengtang had no friendship with the county magistrate of Qing'an County, Luo Fengtang once had two deputy generals who retired from the army and were sent by the court to serve in Qing'an County.

Now one of them is the head of the Ministry of War, and the other is in charge of the Ministry of Justice in Qing'an County.

Of course, as the county magistrate, although he was in charge of all these aspects, when it came to specific matters of the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Justice, even the county magistrate did not have the power to make decisions arbitrarily. Instead, he had to consider the opinions of the heads of other departments and make the final decision.

Luo Fengtang said to Xiao An, "Lead the way."

Luo Fengtang, Xiao An, and a servant of the He family went out together and went to the government office overnight.

Just as He's mother and He Lian'er worried, He's father's health was not good to begin with, and his legs had been paralyzed due to an old illness a few years ago.

He was imprisoned in the prison this time at the instigation of the Hu family. If he didn't get the prison out quickly, he would have to stay in there for too long. The jailers inside, under the instructions of the Hu family, would give He's father some physical pain.

If the old illness is triggered, it will be bad, so the two of them have to go and get the person out first. As for other things, they can settle them slowly later!

After Luo Fengtang and Xiao An left, He's mother and He Lian'er finally found their backbone. They had been panicking for most of the day, but now they felt a little more at ease.

It was not until then that the mother and daughter remembered that Yang Huazhong and his team had started traveling since dawn, and it was still the first month of the lunar year. Their father-in-law and his family had come all the way from Changping Village, bringing their whole family and so many things to pay New Year's greetings, but they didn't even entertain them. As soon as they arrived, they started helping the He family.

The mother and daughter felt particularly guilty and quickly started to prepare dinner.

Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and waved to He Lian'er: "Lian'er, don't rush to eat dinner. Now you can ask a servant to lead the way for me. I'm going to the Hu family."

"Ah? Sister, the Hu family? The Hu family is so fierce. All the servants in the family ..."

"Don't worry, your sister is here to reason, not to fight."

"Qing'er, don't go. Wait until Tang'erzi and Xiao'an come back!" Yang Huazhong stood up and stopped Yang Ruoqing.

Sun also came over hurriedly, and both the couple had worry in their eyes.

Only Ping'an knew that the old man and the old lady were worrying too much. If they had seen the general's wife's tree-climbing skills, they would understand how powerful the general's wife was!

Yang Ruoqing smiled at Yang Huazhong and Sun, and said, "Dad, Mom, it's okay. You have to believe your daughter. I really want to reason with you. I believe that the Hu family, as the father-in-law of the county magistrate, and Mr. Hu Xuesong, were also a scholar and an official in the early years. He must be reasonable. When we reasonable people get together, I will definitely convince them with reason."

Yang Huazhong and Sun knew that once Yang Ruoqing made up her mind, she couldn't be stopped.

And what Yang Ruoqing said is right. It is always right to convince people with reason.

Sun looked at Yang Huazhong, who took a step forward and said, "Yes, everything is reasonable. Come on, Dad will go with you!"

Yang Ruoqing also knew that she couldn't stop her father, so she smiled and said, "Okay, if there are more people, we can reason together, and we can get more reasons and it will be smoother." (End of this chapter)
