Chapter 428
The couple lived in the Zhang family courtyard for another three days. During these three days, all kinds of strange things happened frequently. Of course, the focus was on the young ladies of the Zhang family.

In just three days, more than half of the concubines of the Zhang family were wiped out, five of them were disfigured, and two were found to be misbehaving, and their hair was directly twisted and sent to the nunnery.For a moment, the whole mansion was crying and howling like wolves, like a ghost house.

And just last night, Zhang Sixiniang was thrown down by a wild cat flying out halfway on the way back after meeting Mu Jiaojiao. Although she was only slightly injured, her psychological trauma was extremely serious .Ever since she woke up, she insisted that someone wanted to kill her, crying and clamoring to drag all the concubine sisters who robbed Cui Pu to her and beat them to death.Otherwise, send them out as concubines as soon as possible!
"Aren't they crying and shouting to be concubines? I'm helping them achieve their wish!" Zhang Sixiniang said through gritted teeth.

Because of her good looks, her sweet mouth and her ability to coax people, she has been liked by Patriarch Zhang since she was a child.Patriarch Zhang has high hopes for this granddaughter, and he has pampered her since she was a child. He always pays close attention to her with everything that is delicious and useful, and tries her best to satisfy whatever requests she makes.She also knew that she would definitely marry a noble family in the future.

After Cui Pu came here this time, Patriarch Zhang took a fancy to Cui Pu Boling's status as the husband of the Cui family, and it is rare in the world to be a magistrate who is less than 30 years old.Such a young talent, he sacrificed Zhang Sixiniang to take him down.Zhang Liuniang is also very satisfied with Cui Pu.As a result, who would have thought that what was thought to be a surefire thing turned out to turn the entire Zhang family upside down in just three days!
Now, most of the little ladies in the family have been lost, and the remaining few must be kept well no matter what, he is still useful!And since Zhang Liuniang couldn't take Cui Pu down, Patriarch Zhang felt that she was useless more and more, and he was not so pleasant to her recently.

So now that she made such an excessive request, Patriarch Zhang just snorted coldly after hearing it: "Tell her that lying in bed should look like lying in bed! But a wild cat, where are there so many schemes? I see her It's free to think too much! In this case, don't let her go out these days, tell her to stay in the room, and make sure no one can hurt her!"

The butler should be right, and whispered again: "By the way, Cui Langjun told me this morning that they are going back. Master, look..."

"Hey, the house is in such a mess, what's the use of keeping people here now? It will only make them worse!" Patriarch Zhang sighed.

"Then let them go?"

"Let them go first! This time we are still too hasty! Now close the door and straighten things out, and then choose a concubine girl. At that time, I will invite someone over, or find an excuse. Just send it over. Just because of his sincerity to the third brother, as long as I invite you in the name of the third brother, he will not refuse to come!" The patriarch Zhang vowed.

Unfortunately, he never had this chance again.

Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao finally waited for him to let them go, and they immediately packed their money and rode back to Guangzhou.

One month later, Mr. Zhang Dalang sent someone to send a letter, expressing gratitude to Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao between the lines.It turned out that after they left, the little ladies and women of the Zhang family not only didn't stop, but became more and more noisy, because they didn't know where they heard the news that the patriarch Zhang wanted to choose a concubine daughter to be directly assigned to Cui Pu.At the beginning, Mu Jiaojiao just said it casually, and they had a big fight, not to mention that now the patriarch Zhang has directly settled the matter?As long as it is a settled matter, it will receive the full support of the whole family!
As a result, everyone's spirits are more full, so moths are really flying all over the sky.If you are not careful, everyone will miss the wonderful picture in a certain corner.

And, it's not just women fighting.Gradually, the men were also involved, and then more people... In the end, Patriarch Zhang couldn't control the situation.

At this time, Mr. Zhang Dalang, who had been sorting out the manuscripts for his father at Zhang Jiuling's grave, was born, and suppressed the family affairs with a vigorous attitude.He invited out the elders of the clan again, publicly abolished Master Zhang Er's title of patriarch, and snatched the position of patriarch himself.However, because he was still keeping his father's filial piety and had no time to manage the affairs of the clan, he transferred his sons to take care of some things temporarily on his behalf.After he is out of the filial piety period, come and clean up the atmosphere in the whole clan!

Now that the control of the family has returned to Mr. Zhang Dalang's lineage, at least the tone of the Zhang family's future journeys will not be wrong.

These are foreign words, just a few words.

It is only said that after Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu left the Zhang family, they hurried back to Guangzhou city.

But as soon as he returned to the government office, he saw Mr. Zhuang and others hastily greeted him.

"Prefect, why did you come back!"

Seeing that their expressions were wrong, Cui Pu's heart sank. "But what happened here while I was away?"

"It's not a major event, but... the new governor arrived the day before yesterday!" Mr. Zhuang said in a low voice.

"This person really knows how to choose a date." Cui Pu couldn't help complaining.

They arrived just ahead of the time, even if Mr. Zhuang quickly wrote a letter and had it delivered to Qujiang, it would still arrive almost yesterday.But now, he clearly passed by the messenger.

The corner of Mr. Zhuang's mouth twitched. "Prefect, now is not the time to talk about this. As soon as the new governor arrived, someone sent a letter of greeting to the governor's residence in your name, saying that you would come to visit him after he rested for a few days. As a result, the governor's residence replied , Said that he just arrived in the past two days, and there is not much on hand, so you can either hurry over there. Or you can wait for another month or two, and wait until he is busy with the things at hand. "

Hearing what he meant, Governor Wei knew that he was not in Guangzhou these days, so he said that on purpose.He just wants to save Cui Pu's face and make them look good!
It's all the fault of the Zhang family's troubled family.If they hadn't kept them there to watch the excitement, they wouldn't have missed a good opportunity to deal with the new governor.

However, according to his understanding, Governor Wei must have just taken the opportunity to make trouble.Even if he was really in Guangzhou at the time, he would have taken a photo of him after he handed over the post.It's just that he was not there before, which gave him a chance to attack him openly.

Anyway, I want to fight this person with wits and courage, and now my temporary absence just adds a little bit of difficulty to my way forward, and it's really not a big deal.Cui Pu regained his composure and was relieved.

"I see. Immediately, I will write another invitation letter and send it to the governor's residence in person."

After the letter of invitation was written, Cui Pu rode his horse to the gate of the new governor's mansion.But unsurprisingly, he was rejected.

"Inspector Wei traveled a long distance. He just came here and couldn't adapt to the humid and hot environment in Guangzhou. He just fell ill last night. If you had come earlier, Prefect Cui, the governor would definitely be able to see you. But now...you should go back first! Wait for the governor Well, it's not too late." The third-class butler of the governor's mansion said to him.

Cui Pu hurriedly offered a pack of medicine that he brought with him: "This is a pack of medicine wrapped by Jiannei himself, and it is specially used to treat acclimatization. Use it to decoct medicine, take up to three doses, and keep Wei Shi alive!"

The housekeeper took the medicine package and thanked him hypocritically: "It's really the prefect of Lao Cui. However, we just came here and we still have a lot of things at hand. Look..."

"It's okay, you can go and do your work. I should leave, and I will come to visit you when the governor recovers someday." Cui Pu laughed quickly.

Only then did the housekeeper show a satisfied smile, but said: "The house is in chaos, everyone is one person as two people. If there is any place where the hospitality is not good, I hope Cui Zhifu will forgive me."

"It doesn't matter, it was the same when I first came here, I understand." Cui Pu shook his head again.

The housekeeper left contentedly, while Cui Pu breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly dragged his tired body back to the mansion, and quickly poured a large pot of herbal tea with his head up, to soothe his already flaming throat.Then, he waved his hand: "Come on, take care of the pen and ink, the government is going to write a letter to Pei Jinglue!"

On the other side of the governor's mansion, the housekeeper left Cui Pu and turned into the backyard.

The new Governor Wei was sitting in the room, frowning, suffering from the hot and humid weather.

Seeing the butler come in, he asked, "Is he gone?"

"It's already gone. The subordinate said that you were sick, so he sent a pack of medicine made by his wife himself, and said to keep the medicine until the illness is cured."

"He is good at pleasing people! That's right, isn't his wife who is good at medicine the most? If it weren't for this person, he wouldn't be where he is today!" Wei Shishi sneered, then waved his hand, "Throw me the medicine in the kitchen and burn it!"

"Master, this is not good! The medicine that the miraculous doctor's lady personally dispensed is hard to find in Chang'an!" Keyan whispered.

Governor Wei stared at him immediately: "Are you hoping that I will get sick so that you can take this medicine?"

"This subordinate doesn't dare!" The housekeeper hurriedly shook his head, "This subordinate will burn the medicine right away!"

That's more or less.

Governor Wei let out a light breath, then sneered and said: "This kid, you want to take me down with just a pack of medicine? Before I came to Guangzhou, I had the whole family seen by the imperial doctor. Everyone is very good, there is nothing wrong. Fault!"

He wasn't as stupid as some Lingnan natives, and he didn't know who his opponent was beforehand, so he attacked rashly.He came here this time, but he was fully prepared!

It's a pity... hey, he is a mere governor, and he still has to bow his head to that Lingnan native for the time being.

Thinking so, he had no choice but to pick up a pen, dipped his ink full and wrote—Respectfully, Pei Shangguan, the envoy of the Five Governments of Lingnan.
