Chapter 337

All the people looked at the gate of the courtyard. Lu Yun was dressed in a plain blue train, elegant and comfortable, smiling, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

Twins guilty of hiding behind song Xintong, just mentioned brother-in-law came back, I do not know to hear just now they said bad things about him? If it's heard, it's got to be punished.

Looking at their actions, song Xintong smiles. Without exposing their careful thinking, he looks at Lu Yunkai and asks, "why did you come back so early? Didn't you go to the county? "

"Nothing happened, so I came back earlier." After a pause, Lu Yun said, "I'm afraid the magistrate will come to the village later. I want to come back first and prepare in advance."

"The magistrate is coming?" Song Xintong stood up in a hurry and looked left and right, "when will this... Come over? I'll ask aunt Xie to get ready to eat. "

"Don't worry. It's probably going to ring in the evening. The magistrate will go back to Lingnan city by boat later. It shouldn't be long." Lu Yunkai pressed song Xintong's shoulder, "I've asked poplar to go to the shrimp field to catch shrimp. Adults say they like eating this shrimp."

"Well, get more." Song Xintong then sat down with ease: "this time thanks to the magistrate, if not the magistrate, we would have to take off a layer of skin to come back safely."

After a pause, song Xintong asked again, "is the case closed? The magistrate is going back to Lingnan? "

Lu Yunkai said, "there are a lot of people in the city who complain. In addition to the evidence I found before, the magistrate found out the cause and effect as soon as he investigated. He also found 100000 taels of banknotes and some account books from Chen county magistrate's backyard. The criminal evidence is conclusive. Now he has taken Chen county magistrate, Liu Fugui and Xie shiye back to Lingnan for examination."

"So much silver?" Song Xintong thought that the county government was extravagant and wasteful, but he didn't expect that the county magistrate in a poor small county could have so much money.

"It's mostly from corruption." Lu Yunkai said: "although Qingjiang county is far away from Lingnan City, it is not the poorest county. In addition, he has set up his own name and increased taxes, which makes the small villages under his jurisdiction poor."

"It's just that big families are rich and the people are poor?" Song Xintong frowns. She knows the benefits of being a businessman. Take the restaurants on the wharf for example, the common people go to eat less, most of them are rich, and most of them are past businessmen. Those foreign businessmen are very generous. They don't care about how much money they spend on a meal.

"Yes." Lu Yunkai said: "now these two malignant tumors have been disposed of by the magistrate. I think Qingjiang county will get better and better."

Song Xintong nodded. Although other merchants are also interested in profits, they at least won't use inferior means. This is also good, but who will do the county magistrate?

Thinking about it, he asked, "who will be the magistrate? Will there be another corrupt official? "

"I don't know." Lu Yunkai sighed, "the good thing is that the magistrate is honest and upright. He is a rare good official. With him, the officials under his jurisdiction should be more restrained."

Song Xintong also thought: "if only it were like the county magistrate who is closer to Lingnan, that adult would be a good official."

"Don't think about it. It's up to you now." Lu Yunkai touched song Xintong's stomach, "he kicked you again?"

"Well, I can still touch my little feet." Song Xintong smiles and touches her stomach. She was not used to it before. Recently, she has been moving frequently. Instead, she feels used to it. However, she is still a quiet and considerate little boy. She doesn't feel too comfortable.

"Sister, I want to feel it too." Xiao Bao came over and asked tentatively, for fear that his brother-in-law would not agree.

"It's not moving now. I can't touch it." Song Xintong moved open in the hands of the stomach: "you two are not to pick osmanthus, take Shau kei to continue." Then he said to Lu Yunkai, "Aunt Wang is very good at making cakes. If you don't let her make some sweet scented osmanthus cakes, you can put them on later when the magistrate comes."

"Very good." Lu Yunkai has nothing to do with it. "The sun is getting bigger and bigger outside. Go back and sit inside. Don't get dizzy again."

"Good." Song Xintong smiles and goes to the house with his help.

Although he didn't say it, he took great care of her since she came back. I think he was too scared before.

He does not say, song Xintong also does not say, is silently receiving him to own good, who lets her be the pregnant woman? She has the right to be spoiled, right?

At the beginning of Xiaxiang's application, Qiu's mother-in-law and aunt Xie came back from the county. They came to help Lu's family by the way. Because they had to cook a lot of dishes, only Wang's and Xiaoyue were too busy.

Mother Qiu and aunt Xie are sitting outside the kitchen helping to clean up shrimp and snails, while Xie Daniu and Xie Yi are helping to kill fish, chickens, ducks and rabbits, but they are all in the back of the rabbit house. They didn't bring them to Lu's house to dirty the noble's eyes.

Listen to Lu Yunkai, the people who will come later are the magistrate, the two aides around him, Jiang Mingzhao, and more than a dozen guards who copy knives.

There were too many dishes to cook. Song Xintong asked Yang Shu to go to the dock and found a chef who didn't go home to visit relatives to help cook the dishes for the guards.

Because it was still early and the magistrate had not yet come, song Xintong sat in the yard chatting with Qiu's wife.

Mother Qiu went to the county government today to see the case. Now she was very excited. She said while working: "the magistrate is so powerful. No one dares to move when he speaks."

"The magistrate is very kind to the common people. He is a good official." Mother-in-law Qiu also said: "the people in the county say so. Many people who have been wronged have been fairly compensated."

"What's the compensation for?" Lu Yunkai came back early, but song Xintong didn't hear what he said.

"Some of those who have been forcibly occupied have been replaced, and those who have been occupied with shops and prescriptions have also been bought back at the original low price. In short, everyone is very happy." Aunt Xie immediately said, "I watched them being ransacked. There are many beautiful ladies in the family, but they are all crying."

"If I say it's a big joy, why are those people still crying? Those people seem to have been robbed, but their brains don't work well! I'm not happy to be able to go home. "

Song Xintong said: "they are used to living a good life. When they suddenly go home to live a poor life, they must be reluctant."

"Also, now let me go back to live half a year can't eat meat, I can't stand it." Aunt Xie threw the washed shrimps into the bucket, "Xintong, are so many shrimps enough?"

Song Xintong looked at the shrimp in the bucket and estimated that it was about 20 jin. I'm afraid it's not too much. "We have to get more, but there are thirty or forty people to eat, one Jin for one person, and it's also 40 Jin. And I look at those bodyguards who eat a lot, so it's better to get more."

"That's too little indeed. Hurry up, it's getting late." Autumn mother-in-law and speed up the action, Wang's chamber will boil the old mother chicken soup, and Xiaoyue also come to cut snails, in order to prepare for the evening meal.
