Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11296

Hu Xuesong was speechless, but then he continued, "Wangjia has been spoiled since he was a child. It's rare that he likes that cedar tree. Besides, it's not that we don't want to pay, but the He family just doesn't know how to appreciate it. We are just trying to scare them..."

"Cutting off people's livelihoods, closing their shops, arresting people and throwing them in jail, is this called threatening people?"

Hu Xuesong was speechless again, but soon he said: "But they came tonight and bought our house, and Wangjia is still lying there hanging on his last breath..."

"Wangjia is dead, he deserves it!" said Xie Junhao.

"What did you say!"

"How could you say something like that!"

"Husband, that's my brother..."

Facing the wrath of the Hu family and his wife's dissatisfaction, Xie Junhao slammed the tea bowl beside him on the table, stood up and said, "I always ask you to persuade Hu Wangjia, but you didn't listen. Do you really think that just because I am the county governor, your Hu family can dominate Qing'an County?"

"There are always people who are better than you. Tonight, the woman who came to mess things up is named Yang, and her husband is named Luo, the great national defender Luo Fengtang!"

"What?" Hu Xuesong was dumbfounded.

The name of the great national defender General Luo Fengtang is known to everyone in the Great Qi State.

He is the God of War of Da Qi, commanding a large army, and his son Luo Xingchen is young and promising.

Yang Da'an, the brother-in-law of the Great General Protecting the Nation, was from Qing'an County and was the top scholar in the imperial examination!
Wait, no wonder the woman who came here tonight was so domineering, it turned out that she was her man, her brother... The color on Hu Xuesong's face disappeared completely, he was scared.

The county magistrate's wife, Mrs. Hu, was also frightened.

"I...I called myself her sister tonight..."

Mrs. Hu no longer felt the pain on her face. She felt her neck starting to hurt. This was a sign of her being beheaded...

Hu Xuesong reacted and slapped his thigh in annoyance, "This is troublesome. I have offended a tough guy. You can't judge a person by his appearance. The He family actually has relatives like the Luo family and the Yang family..."

Xie Junhao snorted coldly: "Father-in-law, you were a county magistrate in your old age. You didn't even know the details of the neighbors on this street before you went to provoke them?"

"What do you mean? Is the He family also so great? They obviously run a shop, and the son-in-law who married into the family is just an instructor in the Ministry of War..."

"The son-in-law is Yang Xiaoan, the younger brother of Yang Daan, the brother-in-law of General Luo, and the younger brother of the general's wife!"

"what?"

Hu Xuesong slid off the stool.

With such a close relationship, how can they be called relatives? They are just family members!

Hu covered her pig-like face and finally understood why she stood up to protect her brother and acted like the wife of a county magistrate, but the other party not only did not buy it, but also grabbed her and slapped her.

On my side, I am the elder sister supporting my younger brother, and on the other side, I am the elder sister helping my younger brother!

Hu Xuesong was completely dumbfounded.

I sat there with my mind blank.

Hu also completely lost his fighting spirit, feeling helpless as if he was at the mercy of others.

Although Tao was also frightened by the other party's identity, as Hu Wangjia's biological mother, her strong maternal love supported her brain and did not stop because of fear at this time.

On the contrary, she thought of a breakthrough. "Even if she is the general's wife, so what? Can she send troops to destroy our family just because of something?"

"Madam, what do you mean by that?" Hu Xuesong came back to his senses with difficulty and asked Tao weakly.

Mrs. Tao snorted and said arrogantly, "It is said that the county magistrate is not as good as the current governor. No matter how great a general or how many top scholars he is, my son-in-law is the parent official of Qing'an County. My Lord, in this small piece of land in Qing'an County, my son-in-law has the final say! Their hands can't reach that far!"

Tao's words reminded Hu Xuesong. He nodded repeatedly and looked at Xie Junhao with hope. "Son-in-law, your mother-in-law is right. Even if General Luo has a large army, that is a matter on the battlefield. The governance on the ground still needs to be done by you, the parent official. The general cannot overstep his authority..."

Xie Junhao looked at Hu Xuesong with the eyes of a foolish person, "Father-in-law, you were also a juren in the past and spent your whole life in the officialdom. Why is it that after you retired and returned to your hometown, you are completely cut off from information?"

"What does that mean?"

"The governor of Changhuai Prefecture has been replaced. Just a few days ago, people in the palace sent the imperial edict to Changhuai Prefecture!"

Hu Xuesong was stunned, then he opened his eyes wide, "I understand, no wonder you went to Changhuai Prefecture a few days ago, was it for this matter?"

Xie Junhao nodded.

Hu Xuesong asked again: "Where was the former governor transferred to?"

"Father-in-law, what you need to know is not where you were originally transferred to, but who the current governor is!"

"Who is it?"

Xie Junhao raised his arms, clasped his hands together and bowed towards Changhuaizhou, "Master Yang Da'an!"

"Which Yang Daan, Lord Yang?"

"Who else could it be? The brother of the He family's son-in-law, and the brother of the general's wife!"

Wow!

Hu Xuesong's stool fell over and he slid to the ground, looking completely dejected!
Both Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Hu were panicked. Mrs. Tao hurriedly tried to pull Mr. Hu, who had already collapsed on the ground due to fear.

Mrs. Hu pulled at the wide sleeves of Xie Junhao's official robe, hesitant and anxious: "Husband, what should we do? My father and brother have offended a big shot, what should we do now?"

Xie Junhao pulled the sleeve of his official robe back from the woman's fingers and smoothed it out.

"This matter is between the Hu family and the He family. The person who tied the bell must untie it. Even if I, Xie Junhao, an outsider, risk my official hat to protect it, they will not be happy and will not give me face."

"My father-in-law is a smart man, he should know what to do!"

Hu Xuesong was helped by several servants to sit back on the chair. At this moment, he looked like an old man. Compared with the cheerful and talkative him at the banquet tonight, he suddenly aged more than ten years!
"I'm so confused. This time it's real. I've really hit a wall!"

"Junhao, hurry up and release Mr. He from prison..."

Mrs. Tao on the side also hurriedly urged: "Yes, yes, yes, Mr. He is still imprisoned in the prison, release him quickly, and the shop must also be unsealed quickly..."

Hu Xuesong and Tao kept these things secret from him. They found his wife, Hu, and then sent servants from the yamen to inform the constables and the jailers and get the matter done.

Xie Junhao has always been the one who was kept in the dark.

He learned about it tonight from the two officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War in Qing'an County.

In fact, the two masters from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War were all aware of the things that the constables and jailers did in private.

Power is like this. From the top leader to the small bosses, anyone who has a little bit of it in their hands will not let it hang in the air.
