Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 327 Will Care About Yourself
Zheng Xidong asked cautiously: "Is it okay?"

Wen nodded and said, of course.

Wen asked Zheng Xidong to go to school with her, and asked Cheng Guang, who had been waiting by her side, to find Song Xiyu and persuade him to give up the marriage.

Cheng Guang left Wen's place, and the anger that had been accumulating in his heart was only now showing on his face. He stopped the yamen runner on duty and asked, "Where is Song Xiyu?"

"Song Xiyu? Didn't he go with Zuotou to build the road? He must be next to the official road now." Zhou Xing also felt strange when he saw Cheng Guang's expression, and asked back: "What's wrong with you? Why are you like this? Did he cheat you out of your wine money?"

"I have something to ask him. Please keep an eye out in the government office. If you run into him, tell him that I went to the official road to look for him."

"Okay." Zhou Xingcha watched him walk out of the county government gate, tucked the long stick under his armpit, and used his free hand to pick his nose. "You didn't tell me what happened. You asked me to help you, but you didn't tell me the inside story." He touched his chest, "This annoying thing."

As for Song Xiyu, she was not at the construction site at the moment, and of course not at the county government office.

As soon as he left Zheng's house, he went to look for his grandson Xiao.

In the past two days, my grandson Xiao has pulled together two or three people who love gambling. They have occupied an empty room in the county town and would go in to gamble whenever they have time.

They acted in secret, and other people in the yamen were unaware of what was happening.

But Song Xiyu was his superior after all, and he knew exactly what his grandson Xiao was doing. When he didn't find his grandson Xiao on the construction site, he immediately found the hut.

Sure enough, I saw him and two other people hiding inside playing dice.

Song Xiyu kicked the door immediately. The person inside was so scared that he didn't care about the coins on the table and hid under the table with his head in his hands.

The grandson was still young. After he was frightened, he looked up to see who kicked the door. When he saw it was Song Xiyu, his heart, which had jumped to his throat, immediately fell back. "Oh, Song, who did I think it was?"

The other two people also popped their heads out from under the table. Seeing that the visitor was an acquaintance, they immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Song."

The grandson looked down upon the other party's bad face, but he didn't know that the other party was coming for him, and asked: "Who made our Songtou unhappy?"

Song Xiyu glanced at the other two gamblers and said, "Get out."

The two men immediately ran out with their copper coins.

At this time, the grandson also felt something was wrong, "What's wrong?"

Song Xiyu slammed the table, "Look at what you have done! That woman clearly didn't want to, who did you introduce to me?"

The grandson rolled his eyes and said in a deliberately relaxed tone, "I thought it was nothing, but it's just a small matter. You should calm down. There's no need to get upset about this kind of thing."

"Is it unnecessary?" Song Xiyu raised her voice. "Who am I, Song Xiyu? I am a yamen runner, not a bandit. I can't force you to marry me!"

"Mr. Song." The grandson Xiaokou stepped forward and said, "Look at what you said. This marriage was arranged by the parents and the matchmaker. There is no such thing as forced marriage.

That girl is young and has a proud temper. She has never been disciplined. If she is in your hands and you impose some rules on her, will she still dare to act unruly?"

The grandson smiled flatteringly, "What's important is whether you like her or not."

"That woman is not that pretty." Song Xiyu said. When her grandson Xiao thought that her flattery was going to fail, Song Xiyu said, "But she is still acceptable. There is nothing to pick on in this kind of place."

"Okay, okay, whatever you like, no matter where she goes, without a pass, she is still in Beishan County. I will go to her house tonight and set a date with her uncle to make this beautiful thing happen as soon as possible."

Cheng Guang didn't find Song Xiyu, but saw Zuo Datou walking around the construction site.

"Why are you here?" Zuo Datou asked, "Didn't the master ask you to stay with the madam these days?" "The madam has something to tell me." Cheng Guang asked, "Zuotou, is Song Xiyu at the construction site?"

Zuo Datou frowned, "Madam is looking for him?"

"I have something to discuss with him."

"I also have something to talk to him about, but he's not at the construction site right now." Zuo Datou said as he clenched the booklet in his hand.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Guang felt that something might have happened inside.

"I knew something was wrong with that guy last night. After reporting it to the adults, I came to check on him early in the morning. As expected, there was something wrong." Zuo Datou opened the booklet and showed it to Cheng Guang. "The wages paid out here don't match the actual progress of the construction site."

Cheng Guang was shocked. "He dared to do something like this?" He simply couldn't believe it. "He dared to work for you without doing anything?"

Zuo Datou gritted his teeth and said, "Where did the money for road construction come from? I have warned them again and again, but they dared to take advantage of this money. They are courting death."

Cheng Guang was puzzled, "Can he do it alone?"

Zuo Datou said, "Each sum of money needs to be stamped by two people before it can be withdrawn. I know who his accomplice is."

He calmed himself down and asked Cheng Guang again, "What does Madam want to see Song Xiyu for?"

"It's not a good thing." Cheng Guang said, "Maybe he saw other people's families coming, he was jealous and wanted to start a family, but he wanted to marry, but others didn't."

Zuo Datou sneered. He could guess what was going on without asking any specific questions.

"Don't look for him anymore. I'll lock him up when he reports this afternoon. The adults won't let him off for doing something like this.

I have something else to do, please go back to your wife first."

As soon as Zheng Xidong followed Wen into the classroom, Zheng Xichun's eyes widened, but this child was brave only at home and dared not say anything in class.

After waiting for a long time until the break, he ran through the playful classmates and came to Zheng Xidong, "Sister, why are you here? Aren't you going to work?"

Zheng Xidong held a branch in his hand and practiced the new characters he had learned on the sand table. He said without even looking up, "You didn't go to work either."

"My parents told me to concentrate on my studies, but if you don't go, my father and uncle will be unhappy."

Zheng Xidong raised his head and asked expressionlessly, "Am I living to make others happy? How come no one makes me happy after I've grown up like this?"

Zheng Xichun didn't know how to answer. He scratched his head for a long time but still couldn't think of anything to say. He could only stand there helplessly.

"Go to the side and don't block my light." Zheng Xidong drove him away.

Wen, who was standing on the podium in front, saw everything she said and did.

This is a good child, a good child who cares about himself.

Just based on her personality, it's worth doing her a favor.

Cheng Guang came back and told Wen the news he had heard during the break.

When Wen heard this, she didn't need to do any help. With Changqing's temper, the Song family would never have the chance to stay in Beishan County.

Wen whispered to Cheng Guang, "Go and tell the child the truth. You don't have to go into detail. Just reassure her."
