Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 816 What a Luck

Gu Wenxuan didn't pay attention to looking up more to pay attention to Zhou Banxia's expression, and almost missed his wife making a playful face at him.

very nice.

Getting more and more lively.

"Say!"

"That's not the case. The main reason is that the wild man's father put 90% of their family's land into the name of the Qian family."

Look!
She said that donating land and putting it under the name of a scholar to evade taxes is not too risky, but how did it get involved with the Qian family again?

If she remembered correctly, she had checked before leaving Gao's house and returning to the village, and found that most of the family's land had indeed always been under the name of Mr. Bai.

Zhou Banxia tilted his head in confusion, "Could it be that the Bai family knows the truth and doesn't want that family to join them?"

"That's not the case. No matter how close your great grandfather was to Mr. Bai, it's impossible for him to expose a family scandal, especially one involving human life. It's impossible to hide it."

Of course, not to mention that her second sister had lost her life, once the family scandal was exposed, even the truth about how that vicious woman "died of illness" would be known to Mr. Bai.

No matter how good their classmates and uncles were, especially a serious old scholar like her great-grandfather, they should not be too traditional in their thinking, let alone exposing their family's dirty laundry. Even if Mr. Bai learned the truth through other means and asked about it, her great-grandfather would definitely refute it. Even if she beat her great-grandfather to death, he would never admit it.

"It's probably because the old man of that family didn't really believe what you said about the past being over, and your father just happened to be adopted out and became a family with your great grandfather.

He must be worried about the relationship between your great grandfather and the Bai family. He believes that you keep your word, so the old man cannot help but worry that your great grandfather will vent his anger on you.

Regardless of the reason, 90% of his family's land was transferred to the name of the eldest son of the Qian family before the autumn tax in the second half of last year."

Qian Da was just a scholar, what a loss. Of course, isn't Qian Da studying in the county school now? Is he trying to give more consideration to others than to the monk?

Don't you think that since Qian Da is a classmate of Xuan Zi and Da Jiang, she and her father would have reservations if they wanted to take revenge on his family?

I'm really overthinking it!

Zhou Banxia was also amused as she watched Gu Wenxuan burst into laughter. "What luck! How come he happened to be in the Qian Mansion?"

Yes.

Such luck!
It has been nearly ten years, and it was well under Mr. Bai's name. It was just that by chance, in the second half of last year, he donated the land and put it under Qian Da's name.

"There is not only one Bai Juren in the city, but also a scholar. Well, I admit that if I want to find a scholar, it is better to go to the Qian Mansion. The scholars in the Qian Mansion are valuable enough."

Yes, he is the son-in-law of County Magistrate Huang. Although he dares not to jump in front of him and Dajiang, he is also a very popular person in the county!
After all, although his literary talent was not outstanding, the academy examination was not something that County Magistrate Huang could interfere with. Being able to pass the examination and become a student was a sign of strength in itself.

Such a scholar who is less than 30 years old, has good literary talent, a mild temper and can almost walk sideways in Qingyang County, is still very popular.

Especially, they like to hold poetry gatherings, so annoying. Why don't they compare the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic? No wonder they don't know how to count and don't know how to quit when they see a good opportunity! Zhou Banxia followed Gu Wenxuan's strength and sat on the high chair first. While Gu Wenxuan insisted on changing her into a pair of fur boots before leaving the warm room to eat, wasn't she still free?
She began to express her thoughts.

"The Qian family is so greedy. I told you how many acres of land tax a scholar can be exempted from, and how much land they dare to take. If the Qian family keeps doing this, they will be ruined in less than five years."

Yes, you have opened your mouth!
Gu Wenxuan glanced at her with amusement, and while continuing to put on her fur boots, he said, "They think too highly of County Magistrate Huang."

"Stupid, it's so obvious. If you couldn't see the situation earlier, you could say that those in charge are confused, but those who are not in the know can see it clearly. But if you still couldn't see the clues in the second half of last year, you are really stupid.

The fact that you won the top three honors in the imperial examinations last June alone has added a considerable political achievement to the former county magistrate. The former county magistrate has been in office for many years, so there is a 90% chance that he will be transferred to another post.

No matter how powerful County Magistrate Huang was, could he still sideline every county magistrate? Even if the Qian family wanted to continue to be County Magistrate Huang's lackeys, they would have to see if the Tian and Zhao families could tolerate it.

Otherwise, why did I say last year that Mr. Qian was brainless? It’s easy to imagine that the Tian family and the Zhao family haven’t produced a scholar in recent years, so what does it mean for him to become a scholar?

Isn't the Zhao family afraid of having no successors and sooner or later even being suppressed by the Qian family in their old territory? Isn't the Tian family worried that another Fang family will emerge who is highly regarded by County Magistrate Huang?

What is the relationship between his Qian family and the Huang family? The Huang family is his in-laws' family. How could the Tian family not be afraid that the Qian family would directly snatch away their job as grain merchants, which is the foundation of the Tian family?
It's a pity that he wrote to you a few days ago saying that County Magistrate Cheng didn't see him. You're really stupid. Why don't you hurry up and find a place to hide more gold and silver instead of talking nonsense.

Now it's good, his house was also searched, poor guy, he finally passed the imperial examination, but ended up being a prisoner. Shouldn't he and his wife and children be exiled?"

Gu Wenxuan was thinking that it was hard to say whether the others had any brains, but Qian Da could not have failed to realize that the former county magistrate would be promoted and leave Qingyang County sooner or later.

It's just that everyone has a mentality of hoping for luck, and who could have expected that the time when the two county magistrates would hand over the official seals would not be the normal time before the New Year.

Otherwise, County Magistrate Huang had strong backing, so how could he not have received any news in advance? Even his property was seized on the spot without him having time to transfer it.

If his senior brother had not intentionally given the backer behind County Captain Huang a chance to negotiate with his opponent, County Captain Huang would have very likely been silenced while in custody.

The one who silenced him was not his opponent who had backers behind him, nor was it likely his newly appointed senior brother. It could only be County Magistrate Huang's classmate who wanted to kill him in order to protect himself.

Otherwise, how could Huang Xianwei, an outsider in Qingyang County, have the means to sideline the county magistrate? He is just a cannon fodder.

As for Qian Da and his wife and their children, how can I put it? "Although Qian Da is the son-in-law of the Huang family, I don't think he cares much about household affairs.

He was a typical stupid son of a landlord, except that this stupid son of a landlord was good at studying, and what he was best at was organizing poetry gatherings and other gatherings at his own expense.

For example, he was exempted from the tax on twenty acres of land because someone else donated the land to him. If County Magistrate Huang really took him as his son-in-law seriously, he would have stopped him.

To County Magistrate Huang, he is probably just a useless person. Besides, he is not the head of his family, so he should not be deeply involved in the case.

The key is to see how serious the Qian family's involvement is. Some things cannot be avoided by not personally handling them as a grandson or son."

Also!

There are also innocent people who have been implicated, not to mention that the other party is the direct beneficiary. Zhou Banxia nodded in understanding, "We still have to keep an eye on the old man in our family."
