Chapter 154: Call Me
This is a very heart-wrenching question. If you don’t report and don’t report, you can spend 60,000 taels for nothing. After the report is over, Xu Qing is confident that there is nothing wrong with sending a state Sima out of Yongzhou City based on his relationship with the virtuous king. question.
The key point is that once the Xu family is found guilty of corruption, the 60,000 taels of silver that the father-in-law has turned over and counted several times just now will immediately become dirty silver and then be handed over to the court.
It depends on whether the 60,000 taels of silver is more important in the father-in-law's heart, or it is more important to vent a bad breath for the son-in-law and daughter.
Of course, even if the father-in-law doesn't hand over the 60,000 taels, Xu Qing still has a way to get the Xu family out of Yongzhou City, but it may take a little longer.
...
To Xu Qing's surprise, when the magistrate Su heard that the money might bring down the Xu family, he immediately stopped looking at it and said angrily, "60,000 taels can help Qian'er get out of this one." It’s worth it! Not to mention 60,000 taels, it’s worth it even if you include my official position! Dare to hit my daughter’s idea, daddy put his life on the line, don’t let them disappear completely in Yongzhou City !"
He wiped his face at Xu Qing, the magistrate of Su County... It seems that he still underestimated how much his father-in-law loves this only daughter. He doesn't want an official position, money, or even his life. With a bad breath, in this society where men are superior to women, there are probably few fathers like Su County Magistrate.
Not to mention now, even in Xu Qing's previous life, when he was rich and free-spirited, there were people who looked down on their child as a daughter...
At the same time, Xu Qing also felt silent condolences for the Xu family, how dare he provoke a daughter to accuse him? How dare he!
The Xu family...have they always been so brave?
Xu's
Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Sima and cried, "Master, are you crazy?! You really gave the Su family compensation?! Sixty thousand taels, you gave it all, how can we live!"
Xu Sima said with a gloomy face: "Enough is enough, don't talk about it! A husband has his own considerations!"
Mrs. Xu cried like a tearful person. Her life was extremely extravagant on weekdays. Now almost all the cash that the family could get out was taken away by her master. She really went to pay the 60,000 taels of silver surnamed Su. After giving it all away, how will she live in the future?
How could my master do this? How can this be so?
What a fool!
Xu Sima looked at Mrs. Xu who continued to cry and waved his hands angrily: "Why are you crying?! What is there to cry about! What does a mere woman know?!"
Seeing the angry look, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but startled: "Master..."
Xu Sima interrupted Mrs. Xu, and snorted coldly: "Enough! As long as I am Yongzhou Sima, if there is one 60,000 taels, there will be a second 60,000 taels! A woman's opinion is so stupid! You go and see that How is Nizi? Don't bother me during this time."
Madam Xu trembled and retreated sobbing.
Xu Sima was already in a bad mood when he gave away 60,000 taels, but now he is annoyed by his new wife when he returns home, how dare he call him crazy? ! If he was really crazy, he should have divorced his wife just now when he said this!
Who would give away 60,000 taels of silver for nothing? This is also impossible! If you don't give here 60,000 taels today, you will lose far more than 60,000 taels in the future!
Officialdom and business are the same. Once a huge deficit is expected, even if you post a part of the money, you must stop the loss in time. If you are reluctant to part with the money on hand, you may lose all your belongings.
It's a pity that this long-haired and short-sighted wife doesn't understand.
...
second day
The weather is a little bad today, the wind is blowing so hard that it blows on the face like a knife.
Xu Qing came to the bookstore and made a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup for Xiao Ruxue. The little girl was growing up at a young age, and she was developing in all aspects, so her nutrition could keep up.
Originally, Xiao Ruxue was the only one holding a bowl of porridge in the room, but after Xiao Ye smelled the fragrance, there were two of them.
While they were eating porridge, Xu Qing temporarily acted as the shopkeeper.
But this shopkeeper is also very relaxed, under this kind of ghost weather, even the Zhuye Qing next to it has no customers, let alone the bookstore, today is not a new book sale, fools come in to buy books under this kind of ghost weather Woolen cloth!
"Huh? Are there really fools?"
At this moment, Xu Qing suddenly saw a limping figure, with half of his body wrapped around his face almost covered in bandages, and holding a cane in the other hand... It was quite difficult to walk, and several people followed behind him. entourage.
The follower wanted to help, but was pushed away roughly by him!
Xu Qing suddenly felt a little moved. Under such bad weather, there is still no shortage of people who love reading in Yongzhou City of Great Chu. There is hope for the revival of Great Chu!
This is not a fool! This is a real literati! Physically disabled but not disabled! Well done! Qingxue Study is cheering for you!
The man walked to the counter of Qingxue Study step by step, and Xu Qing looked at him with tears in his eyes: "Master, you still came here to buy books with such a bad weather, why are you so spirited?" Worried about not winning the number one prize?! I am deeply impressed!"
Unexpectedly, resentment burst out in the eyes of the man whose body was half wrapped in bandages: "Xu Qing! Do you still remember me?!"
Xu Qing was slightly taken aback after hearing the voice, the emotion just now disappeared without a trace, and looked at the young man in disbelief: "Mr. Xu Shen? You have been hurt like this, and you are still in the winter Why is the bookstore running? If you really want to read books, let the servants take them over? It’s really not possible... My Qingxue Study actually provides door-to-door service."
Then Xu Shen gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not here to buy books! I'm here to beg for the 60,000 taels of silver that should belong to my Xu family! Father was confused by your sinister little person, but I'm not confused! Seeing the books I brought Are you human?! If you don’t know how to praise, don’t blame me for demolishing your Qingxue study today!”
Xu Qing showed a little scared expression: "This shop is working hard, Mr. Xu Shen Wanwang wants to show mercy."
Xu Shen snorted and said, "If you know you're afraid, quickly hand over the 60,000 taels of silver. We'll settle the accounts of these days slowly in the future!"
Xu Qing nodded quickly and said: "Yes... yes... I will hand it over now, but the silver is too expensive, so it is kept in the back room. I will take Mr. Xu Shen there."
Xu Shen snorted: "I'm sorry you can't play any tricks, you guys, go in with me!"
After listening to Xu Qing who argued in court that day, Xu Shen didn't quite believe that Xu Qing was really capable of sneaking into the palace to beat him. I have experienced it but his two followers have experienced it. It is safer to bring a few more this time. After all, two fists are no match for four hands.
Then, a follower wanted to help Xu Shen, but Xu Shen roughly pushed him away, and followed Xu Qing to the backyard step by step.
Just entering the backyard, in front of the frozen pond, Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ye and Xiao Ruxue who came out of the room after eating the porridge, and their expressions suddenly became grim: "Hit me!"
