Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 66 Hypocrisy or benevolence and righteousness, who can say clearly

Jia Lian and Xue Pan were still thinking that this Shi Boqian looked refined and full of knowledge, but they didn't expect that he was actually a very skilled practitioner.

Looking at it this way, isn't it that he is both civil and military!
While Xue Pan was afraid in his heart, he was faintly happy at the same time.

When he was still in Jinling two years ago, Xue Pan felt that he was the number one, the number two, and himself the number three.

But he almost got a life-threatening lawsuit and came to the capital for more than a year. After seeing a lot of powerful people, although he still doesn't like the director's dude, he has been staying in Jia's school to mess around.

Now that Shi Zhongkui is powerful, he is as excited as the younger brother when he sees a capable elder brother.

Jia Lian once again regretted and regretted that Yingchun failed to marry Shi Zhongkui.

Seeing that the two had different thoughts, Shi Zhongkui didn't even speak back when he was scolded, instead he surprised himself a bit.

He glared at Xue Pan, but seeing him chuckle, he couldn't help laughing.

After a long time, he said, "Since the crime is not punishable by death, there is no need to send them to the government. Return the four of them to sell their lives, and give each of them 10 taels of silver to send them away, so that they will not have a secure life and starve to death on the street."

Jia Lian and Xue Pan looked at each other, as if a heavy stone had fallen from their hearts, they breathed a sigh of relief.

I am not afraid that Shi Zhongkui is powerful, but I am afraid that he is cruel and treats people too harshly.

Now this treatment is actually just right.

Don't look at Shi Zhongkui's return of the contract of sale and the gift of money, but for domestic slaves, the punishment of being kicked out is second only to being directly beaten to death and sent to the official.

A servant who only knows how to serve people and is used to living without worries is driven away, which is equivalent to a person who has been imprisoned for decades in modern society.

And it will definitely affect the family's reputation and status in the mansion.

But with Xue Pan's words of "directly send to the official", Shi Zhongkui's punishment of returning the deed of sale and giving 10 taels of silver is more humane, and it also makes them not have to worry about their lives in the next year or two.

When Grandma Liu got 20 taels of silver from Wang Xifeng, she said that it was enough for her family of five to live for a year, that is to say, 4 or 5 taels of silver would not starve to death a year.

The four servants hurriedly knelt down and looked at Jia Lian and Xue Pan, but they didn't speak.

In the end, he could only kowtow to Shi Zhongkui, "Thank you for your mercy."

Shi Zhongkui shook his head, "I have no sympathy for you, but since I have become relatives with the Xue family and the Jia family, I can't just sit back and watch the two families be deceived by you.

What's more, the materials brought in this time are all used to build temples for the land, so that the weather will be smooth this year.

There are gods three feet above the head, so you can do it yourself. "

The four people who originally had resentment towards Xue Pan, Jia Lian and Shi Zhongkui felt tense when they heard this, and secretly scolded themselves for being obsessed with ghosts.

While being afraid, the resentment in the hearts of the three servants was all placed on the servant who came up with the idea and was beaten the hardest.

Shi Zhongkui could tell at a glance that the three of them had resentment and even revenge.

If he followed the thoughts in his heart, he didn't care about the life and death of the person who gave the idea, but he also knew that this person must not die because of himself.

He ordered Shun'er to say, "Let the convoy transporting the materials take them for a while, and then send someone to follow them to the hospital for treatment, so that no outsiders can gossip about the Xue family and the Jia family."

Everyone who heard this had to give him a thumbs up in his heart and praise him for his benevolence.

But Shi Zhongkui knew that if he didn't do this, he would be suspected of being hypocritical and would be suspected of exalting himself with the Xue family and the Jia family.

Xue Pan and Jia Lian hurriedly nodded and thanked, the four servants felt that Shi Zhongkui's handling was fair and humane.

As soon as he vented his anger, most of the resentment dissipated naturally.

Don't say you hate him, but blame yourself.

After kowtowing to Shi Zhongkui again, the four of them left the yard with the help of the servants of Yu's family and the farmer who had rushed over earlier after hearing the little maid's notice.

At this time, the farmers did not have the idea of ​​scolding the four servants, they were all thinking that Shi Zhongkui would definitely be a good official in the future.

And a good official is probably the best evaluation of a person.

The land lord who had been watching from the side had a very high evaluation of Shi Zhongkui in his heart. Seeing Shi Zhongkui nodding slightly to himself, he knew that this was not the time to talk, so he saluted him and left in the field.

He took Xue Pan and Jia Lian to his study and sat down. After drinking tea, Jia Lian said, "Bo Qian, what should we do with those rogues?"

Shi Zhongkui frowned and thought for a while, revenge is certain, but there is no need to play by himself.

After thinking about it, he wrote a letter and sent it to Yu Honggao.

Since this group of hooligans are often active around Daxing and Huangzhuang, then Daxing's headhunters and guards must have plenty of ways to teach them a lesson.

Don't say anything if you catch the board, you will definitely be arrested and blackmailed by the guards.

Although Jia Lian and Xue Pan were not satisfied with doing it themselves after hearing it, it was considered a bad breath.

After Jia Lian and Xue Pan had this incident, they became more attentive in their work. They not only followed the convoy again and again, but also lived and ate directly at the farm, and stayed on the construction site to supervise whenever they had time.

The fact that the four servants were kicked out directly sparked discussions between the Jia family and the Xue family.

Fortunately for the Xue family, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai quickly understood that there was a moth with dirty hands and feet in the house, and there was nothing wrong with Shi Zhongkui's handling, so they were relieved.

Aunt Xue is also happy because finally someone in the family can cure these servants, and will surely deter more servants in the future.

But Jia's side is lively.

If they can be Jia Lian's servants, their parents are at least somewhat respectable in Jia's family, even the kind who have been servants for generations.

He was kicked out of Jia's mansion all of a sudden, not to mention his own livelihood, and his family's status and face in Jia's mansion.

At the beginning, there were people crying and shouting, but the family members of the two young servants at Xue's house felt resentful when they heard that their son was instigated by Jia Lian's young servant.

This matter suddenly became a commotion, and then the cause and effect of the matter spread. In the end, even though the servants of the two families said that Shi Zhongkui had exceeded his authority, they didn't feel that there was a problem with Shi Zhongkui's handling.

Moreover, Jia Lian and Xue Pan were not only present at the scene, but they did not object.

Even if Jiamu, Jia Amnesty and Jiazheng were dissatisfied, they would not beat Jia Lian in the face just because of the two servants.

Not to mention that Jia Lian is still helping relatives with things at this time, let alone gossip.

Send someone to call Jia Lian and Xue Pan back for questioning. Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai's mother and daughter are more satisfied, and the Jia family will inevitably regret it.

Jia's mother even told Jia Amnesty, Jiazheng, and Jia Lian that once Shi Zhongkui passed the Jinshi examination, his future prospects would definitely be higher than Lin Ruhai's.

This matter passed quickly, but it is still rumored that if Shi Zhongkui can solve the case well, his reputation will be even greater in a short time.

And what Shi Zhongkui didn't expect was that the ancient people's thinking was actually very simple. Most of the officials who could be called Lord Qingtian had something to do with handling cases impartially.

It is conceivable how many unjust cases there were in ancient times, and it is no wonder that Mr. Bao in the opera can be passed down through the ages just by adjudicating the case. It is even said that he is still alive, so he reserved the seat of Yama.
