Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 361: One thing to pass three levels
"I only played a few rounds, not for long. Please ask the adults for mercy!"

"I only played a few games." Zheng Linsheng also begged: "I just went there last night, please help me beg for mercy!"

The voices of several people combined together made it impossible to hear what they were saying. Besides, the bailiffs who untied them would never really feel sorry for them. How could one believe the words of a gambler?

Go forward a little in time.

When this group of gamblers were parading through the streets, the school had not yet started, but Zheng Xidong was already waiting at the school gate, and the group of people just happened to pass by her.

Zheng Xidong immediately spotted Zheng Linsheng hiding in the crowd, and knew that these people were arrested because the yamen runners must have listened to her and went to investigate.

She felt very happy and wished that Zheng Linsheng would be tied up like that for the rest of his life.

But then he thought, he had no connection with that family anymore, and even if Zheng Linsheng was released, he wouldn't be able to harm him, so he was eager for him to be released.

Coming back to her senses, Zheng Xidong was shocked by her own thoughts. When did she become so vicious?
As the class time approaches, more and more students come.

When people get together, they inevitably talk about some hot news. What could be more interesting than the group of people parading in the streets? Many students gathered together to speculate how the county government would deal with them.

Some of the students had family members who worked as government servants, so they naturally knew the inside story. After listening to their guesses without getting to the point, they couldn't help but show off and said, "My father said that they should be sent to labor camps."

Someone nearby immediately asked, "What is labor reform?"

Zheng Xidong was listening to them talking when suddenly a bailiff came in from the door.

The students were not afraid of the yamen runners. After all, the school was not far from the county government office and they saw them often.

Zheng Xidong was just thinking that the man looked familiar when he waved at her.

"Me?" Zheng Xidong pointed at himself.

"I'm calling you." Yang Zhengdao.

When the people arrived, Yang Zheng took out a purse from his pocket and said, "Thank you for the information you provided last night. This is the reward from the county government. Take it and hide it before class starts."

Zheng Xidong clenched her hands and refused to take it. She thought that the government knew that she had split up the family business and felt sorry for her, so they found this excuse to give her money.

"No, no, I can't take this money."

Yang Zheng was surprised and asked, "Why don't you use the reward money from the government? What can't you take?"

"You pity me, but even if the family is divided, I still have land and food, and I will have food next year..."

"What are you talking about?" Yang Zheng was helpless and interrupted her with a smile, "If you report illegal things to the government, you will get a reward. This is the rule. There is no such thing as pity for you.

If you must say that the government has considered you, it is because you live alone and did not spread the news that you received the reward money. "

Yang Zheng had other things to do, so he didn't have time to consider Zheng Xidong's sensitivity and thoughtfulness. He directly stuffed the purse into her hand and said, "Take it."

Only then did Zheng Xidong feel the weight of the purse. She wanted to open it to see how much was in it, but then she felt that she should not take the money.

While she was hesitating, Zheng Xichun came over and asked, "Sister, how many are here?"

This voice really scared Zheng Xidong. The moment she reacted, she tightly grasped her purse with both hands and asked defensively, "What does this have to do with you?"

Zheng Xichun smiled awkwardly, "It doesn't matter."

Although he said this, he was thinking in his heart that if he had known that there would be money to be made by telling the government, he would have told them long ago.

He also knew what his uncle was doing. After all, his uncle always thought that he was young and ignorant, and said whatever he wanted in front of him.

What a pity, what a pity.

When Mr. Cai came in and stood ready to give the lecture, Zheng Xidong returned and sat back in his seat. Zheng Xichun leaned over and said just two words, and Cai Rong on the podium said, "Don't gossip in class."

Zheng Xichun held back what he was about to say, but his desire to divide the family was becoming stronger and stronger. He believed that he would definitely have a good life following his sister, and his vision could not be worse than his father's.

He was thinking about how he would have to argue with his father tonight to get the family property split up, but he didn't expect that the voice in his head would suddenly appear in reality. "Xichun! Come out quickly, something happened at home!" Zheng Jiasheng shouted at the door of the classroom.

Cai Rong, who was interrupted during his lecture, looked unhappy. "Now is the time for students to attend classes. Is there anything more important than studying and understanding the truth?"

Zheng Jiasheng apologized to Cai Rong with his actions, but he kept calling Zheng Xichun.

Cai Rong was helpless, "Forget it, Xichun, go home with your father."

Zheng Xichun walked out of the classroom under the gaze of all the students, feeling extremely ashamed.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

"Your uncle has been arrested!" Zheng Jiasheng pulled him towards the yamen.

"What's the big deal?" Zheng Xichun said, "I know he got arrested because he deserved it. What do you want me to do?"

"What are you talking about, kid? We are all family. He is your uncle. Can you ignore him?"

"How can I care? I'm just that old." Zheng Xichun was so speechless that he wanted to laugh.

Zheng Jiasheng raised his hand, "Don't say useless words, you have been to school for two days, you know some rules, accompany your father to the government office."

Zheng Xichun found it ridiculous. If his hand had not been held and he couldn't let go, he would have really wanted to just shake off and leave.

When they arrived at the government office, Zheng Jiasheng pushed Zheng Xichun and asked him to come forward and talk, "Go and ask how much it will cost to redeem your uncle."

"I won't go!" Zheng Xichun turned around and tried to run, but failed.

Before they could come to a conclusion, the guard called out to them and approached them with a knife in his hand, "What are you two doing?"

"Hurry up and say it!" At this time, Zheng Jiasheng was still inserting his finger into Zheng Xichun, asking him to speak.

Zheng Xichun bit his lips tightly and refused to say anything.

Seeing that the knife was about to swing towards them, Zheng Jiasheng had to speak up himself, "I heard from the villagers that my brother was arrested, so I came to take a look."

"Where are you from, what's your name, and who is your brother?"

Zheng Jiasheng answered honestly.

Zhou Xing listened and said, "There is such a person who was arrested. What? Do you want to break the prison?"

Zheng Jiasheng was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly, "What a misunderstanding, what a misunderstanding. I want to ask how much it would cost to redeem him?"

Zhou Xing scratched his ears and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You want to redeem someone who was imprisoned by the county magistrate?"

"Get out of here now, or we'll arrest you too if you cause any more trouble!"

Zhou Xing saw the two people turn around and leave, then he stood back to his original position. Ba Fang, who happened to pass by, thought that the two were Zhou Xing's family members and asked, "What happened at home?"

"That's not my family." Zhou Xing exaggerated what he heard and told everyone.

After hearing this, Bafang was shocked. Someone actually wanted to use money to smash the government office. When did such a rich person appear in Beishan County? He hurried to tell Meng Changqing.

"Where are the people?" Meng Changqing asked.

"gone."

"Call the man back. I want to ask him how much money he has."

Soon, the Zheng father and son, who had not walked far, were called into the yamen.

Meng Changqing saw that there were two people, one big and one small, so he asked, "What is your relationship with the prisoner?"
