C243 Enter the county magistrate and look and listen (1)

"The sound of the wind and rain reading, stories are happening every day; family matters, government affairs, the world's affairs, this shutter, officials, listen to the story of Little Elder Li!"

Then one of the men in the audience said something, and the silence fell. The only thing he could do was listen to what was going on.

Xu Mingwei was surprised, "Why is this person called Little Old Li? I have only heard of Old Li or Little Li before, he has taken both."

Fu Heng explained, "The storyteller also has an inheritance, his father is called Old Li outside, and his son is called Little Old Li, just by hearing it people will be able to know which family he comes from."

Xu Mingwei nodded her head, to think that there would be such a reason for him to say such words. Below, the lecturer turned his attention to the strange case, but it was actually the case of the corpse in the pond village. She was a child's daughter-in-law bought by a family and raised to be a wife. However, she didn't expect that the bride would faint on the night of the wedding. The bridegroom thought there had been a case of human life, so he buried the bride in a hurry and ran away. Naturally, his family was unwilling to let him know of this matter.

When the yamen office saw that no one could take the groom's father as a count, they opened the coffin and examined his body, but there was no trace of the bride. Inside lay the corpse of a man, which they could not figure out. The son, on the other hand, turned himself in when he saw that his father had been dragged into prison by him for no reason. The magistrate would then file two cases, placing the son in jail so that the old man could be released without any offense.

This strange case could be considered as having come to an end, but the corpse of the bride was nowhere to be found. Coincidentally, a few months later, when his old man went out to do business, he actually saw his daughter-in-law. Only then did he know that he had only faked his death that day and was then rescued by his two uncles and nieces. His uncle intended to send him back, but his nephew saw that the man was perverted, so the two of them argued that his nephew had killed his uncle. In panic, he decided to bury his uncle back in the coffin before he could do anything else. This was the true truth. bridegroom had finally suffered grievances, and his nephew had received a bad news, which resulted in a happy ending.

The case itself was enough to go through a series of twists and turns. That storyteller was extremely eloquent, catching the interest of the entire teahouse audience.

Xu Mingwei listened with relish, but Fu Heng's face became serious. Seeing her confused look at him, Fu Heng sighed, "If I didn't teach that old man how to do business, or perhaps he just happened to miss out in the village, wouldn't my son have died in vain? They had never intended to kill people. If an accident happened to them, no matter how severe the punishment was, they wouldn't be able to kill their own heads. There was a male corpse in Pingbai, so the county magistrate didn't investigate it. He only determined that his son had committed murder. First, he didn't ask for the reason, and secondly, he didn't ask for the means to commit murder. It's fine if we don't have such a father and mother official. "

Xu Mingwei laughed, "From ancient times till now, there have been many people who have resold themselves as officials, and even if they were to walk the path of the Imperial examinations, how many of them have actually run three thousand miles of dust to become officials for half a year? We can't do anything about other people, but if we can listen to stories and save ourselves, looking at people as a mirror is a good thing. In the end, this story is also a good one to pay for one's kindness. Evil has its consequences, perhaps this family did not have such a calamity in their lives? "

Fu Heng smiled lightly, "As you said, it's also reasonable. This time, the departure of the Pinglu County is only asking for the world's countless methods to be able to single-handedly create a clear and bright county order. "

Xu Mingwei nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "I believe you."

It was only three words, yet it felt as if it weighed a thousand kilograms on Fu Heng's heart, and the gaze that was thrown at Xu Mingwei seemed to contain a bit of obsession.

Xu Mingwei immediately turned her gaze, took out a small silver ingot from her bag, and threw it downstairs.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile, and he once again said, "Only then will we be able to please our esteemed guests. Little Elder Li is also not concealing himself, so I'll tell everyone about a strange matter that happened in Xiyang County …"

Fu Heng laughed in a low voice, "These wandering practitioners normally look at others' faces. After finishing this part, they only want to seek rewards again."

Xu Mingwei said, "Since what she said was right, it is only right to reward him."

Fu Heng did not speak anymore. The two of them sipped their tea as they listened to the country stories below. Only this time, Old Li's words sounded coarse, and he mixed them with a lot of dirty jokes. Some weird woman, Uncle, Sister-in-Law and Sister-in-Law, they were all in one place. The people below cheered and cheered as their faces flushed red. It was hard for Xu Mingwei to do anything.

If she was the only one listening in the box, then it would be fine. She had even seen the real-life version of the animal world. Fu Heng would listen to the books whenever he heard them, and from time to time, his fiery gaze would sweep across her body, causing him to feel as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

Fortunately, he remembered that they were outside, not much different than at home, so he only looked at her a few times with a smile or a half-smile. After listening to his story, Fu Heng finally opened his money bag and threw a big piece of the bag down. Xu Mingwei could not help but glare at him, "You're not talking well, why did you give me five liang?"

Fu Heng whispered as he pointed, "Is it hard to say that part? Is it that part of the snow, that part about the horse, or that part about your sister-in-law running at night? "

Xu Mingwei could not help but blush, and turned her face away, ignoring him.

The two of them finished listening to the evaluation. The sun was setting, and they had only eaten a few plates of dessert fruit, so they weren't hungry. Fu Heng then settled the matter with the Tea Doctor, and only called two servants to follow behind him at a distance, so as to not disturb his conversation with Xu Mingwei.

Pan Zi was always a quick-witted person, he would only run around the outer court in the past and never show his face in front of his master. This time, while Dong Zi was not around, only seventy percent good, he could not help but want to show off. As such, no one would refuse to comply with his words. They even restrained themselves, leaving the two Masters far behind as they watched and acted.

For example, Fu Heng and Xu Mingwei had just bought something new at the lanterns stall, and before Fu Heng even looked back, Pan Zi had already brought it up himself. After repeating this a few times, he couldn't help but have some feelings for this Pan manservant. He was also clever and lucky, and would be able to make use of him in the future.

Pan Zi looked at the expression in his eyes and knew that he had been stopped by his master. He was naturally very happy in his heart. Lei Zi, who was standing beside him, looked on coldly, laughing in his heart. Those who were able to follow their master out this time were most likely close confidants. Others who were capable had to restrain themselves from sticking their heads out, just in case someone suddenly saw them and taught them to take the lead. He, on the other hand, was in a hurry to pay his respects to his master, and did not know how to punish him when he returned.

Lei Zi harbored these thoughts in his mind. Looking back at Pan Zi running back and forth the entire way, he felt that it was even more hilarious. He was just waiting to see what would happen to him once Dong Zi returned. If not, in these few days at home, this master would still have a fructus spleenae fructus Xiao Wu Zi in front of me. After my fructus spleenae fructus escaped from home, this master has only heard of Dong Zi's reputation, and no one else? It was all because Dong Zi was powerful and no one dared to offend him!

A gloating smile surfaced on Lei Zi's mouth. Pan Zi looked back and snorted in his heart, those who died of stupidity also thought that he was extremely smart. He, Dong Zi, was overbearing and arrogant, but he was not afraid of him. In the past, he had brothers and sisters at home, and also had a mother who was willing to take care of him. Now that everyone had followed their master to the throne, they wanted to see if he had the ability to deal with them. He couldn't get close to his master at home. Once he reached this place, he would show his head even if he had to risk his life. Wasn't he a fool?!

Being able to earn a decent amount of money in front of a master was not just for the two months' worth of money. Haven't you heard of a third rank official in front of the Prime Minister? If he could take advantage of the fact that he was being highly valued by his master, then when he walked outside, he would have the face of a county magistrate. Not to mention when he returned to the capital the next day, what a scene it would be.

Although they were all servants, just by thinking about it with their toes, they could tell which one was the most important. Pan Zi thought like this, and stopped looking at Lei Zi's expression, he focused on listening to him, and only held onto the lanterns in his hands, waiting for the two masters to get tired of watching, and then hired a palanquin to send people back.

In truth, Xu Mingwei had not fully enjoyed hherself but as she was living in the Inner Palace, there were very few people who had walked a long distance like today. The embroidered shoes that Wan Rong and the others made were usually delicate and pretty. They didn't need to move much at home, so they were only a thin layer. Today's matter was too sudden, even Xu Mingwei himself did not expect to find such a pair of shoes, let alone a pair of cotton shoes with thick soles.

"When we go back, we will have to tell Wan Rong and the others to keep a few sets of shoes. Otherwise, like today, their feet will hurt after a few steps."

Just now when Fu Heng was outside, he did not dare check her feet. Now that he was in the palanquin, he caught her and started to grind some blisters, even breaking a part of his shoes, making his look very pitiful. He could not help but say this.

Xu Mingwei withdrew her foot and said softly, "Shoes really should be made. I will explain this to them once I get back. "From now on, I won't be home, and I'll see people more often when I go out."

When Fu Heng heard this, he frowned slightly, and said unhappily, "We can do whatever we want at home. If you don't like to please those unrelated people, then we will just ask for treatment, why bother with all these? Leaving home, I hope you will be happy and at ease. But what's the point of tormenting yourself for the sake of others? "If you ever see one of your wives coming after you, you can ask them to stay at home if they have a good time; if they can't find a place to go, stay away from them, and don't give me face in front of them."
