Qing'an County, He family.
The joy of seeing each other after a long separation lasted as long as a bowl of tea.
Yang Ruoqing and the others entered the He family.
The main room was brightly lit, and the He family's mother and daughter warmly entertained her. Servants shuttled around and were busy bringing tea and water.
Mother He knew that everyone had not eaten dinner, so she quickly ordered her servants to cook in the backyard.
He Lian'er was busy looking at the children, while Yang Ruoqing, Xiaohua and the others were holding Niu Niu. The atmosphere was no different from every previous reunion.
However, Yang Huazhong looked around and found that one person was missing.
"Where is my father-in-law? Isn't he at home?" he asked.
As he asked, the smiles on the faces of the He family's mother and daughter dimmed, and everyone else in the hall also noticed that the atmosphere was not right.
Xiao An recalled He Lian'er's strange behavior before, "Yes, where is my father-in-law? Why don't you see him?"
When asked about this, mother and daughter of the He family looked at each other. Mother He burst into tears and burst into tears: "Your father-in-law... was arrested, and our shop was also closed!"
"How could this happen? What happened? Lian'er, tell me!"
...
After a bowl of tea, the whole story was revealed.
Xiao An was so angry that he almost smashed the tea bowl in front of him. He held the saber at his waist and turned around to rush to the Hu family and chop down Hu Xuesong and Hu Wangjia and his son.
But was stopped by Yang Ruoqing.
"What are you doing? We, the old Yang family, believe in reason. We must be reasonable in everything, and we cannot kill casually." Yang Ruoqing said.
Yang Huazhong and Sun were frightened when they saw Xiao An looking like he was about to kill someone. When they saw Yang Ruoqing stopping Xiao An and saying so, the couple quickly followed them, one on each side. Grab Xiao An's arm.
"Your sister is right, there is no reason for everything."
"Your brother-in-law is here, your sister is here, and your brother has just been promoted to governor of Changhuaizhou. You can’t kill anyone at this point!”
Xiao An looked at the dissuading family members in front of him, and realized that he had indeed had a hot head before. He killed someone to pay for his life. The person was the brother-in-law of the county governor's family. Killing someone was indeed a bit difficult to deal with. It would directly cause trouble for his brother who had just become the governor.
But it would be difficult to quell Xiao An’s anger without going for a kill.
"I heard Lian'er mention it to me before, saying that someone on this street took a fancy to the cedar tree in our yard and offered a price to buy it, but we didn't sell it." Xiao An Recalling what happened before, he said: "I just listened casually at that time. When buying and selling this kind of thing, it depends on your own will."
"Our family is not short of money from selling trees. I originally thought that this matter would be over, but I didn't expect that the other party was such a family. He came here even if he didn't come, just for a tree, for viewing. It’s nothing more than all things. It’s so inhumane to ignore other people’s property and lives like this!”
Who says it’s not the case? This is simply a money wolf tiger leopard!
At that moment, both Yang Huazhong and Sun sighed. If this kind of thing were left in the village, it would only be a few quarrels between the two families. There is no such thing as destroying someone's shop and arresting someone and sending him to jail!
Luo Fengtang stood up immediately and said to everyone: "Don't panic, I will go to the Military Department and the Criminal Department of Qing'an County now."
Luo Fengtang is not only the Zhongyong Marquis, but also the protector of Daqi. General, your network of contacts in the Da Qi Army is very broad.
And some of these connections in the army were those who had served in the army a few years ago when he joined the army and appreciated him very much.
Some of them are his comrades, fighting bloody battles together, fighting life and death together, the kind of friendship that never abandons or gives up. There are also his subordinates, the generals he single-handedly led.
The elder, even if he was discharged and returned to work, still has contacts with Luo Fengtang. Most of his subordinates, the younger members of the family, are also familiar with Luo Fengtang.
And many of those who were transferred to other government departments to hold official positions were Luo Fengtang's original comrades or subordinates.
In Qing'an County, although Luo Fengtang had no friendship with the governor of Qing'an County, Luo Fengtang once had two lieutenants who later retired from the army and were sent by the imperial court to serve in Qing'an County.
Now one is the top leader in the Ministry of War, and the other is in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Justice in Qing'an County.
Of course, as a county guard, although he has a good grasp of all aspects, when it comes to specific matters involving the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Justice, even the county guard does not have arbitrary power. Instead, he must consider the opinions of other department heads and make the final decision.
Luo Fengtang said to Xiao An: "Lead the way."
Luo Fengtang went out with Xiao An and a servant of the He family and went to the Yamen overnight.
Just as He's mother and He Lian'er were worried, He's father's health was not good to begin with, and his legs had been paralyzed by old diseases a few years ago.
I was imprisoned this time at the instigation of the Hu family. If I don’t go to the prison quickly to get him out, I’m afraid he will stay in there for a longer time. The jailer inside is under the instruction of the Hu family. , which will give Father He some physical and mental suffering.
If the old disease is touched, it will be bad, so the two of them have to fish the person out first. As for other things, they will sort it out later!
After Luo Fengtang, Xiao An and the others left, Mother He and He Lian'er finally found their backbone. They had been in panic for a long time, but now they felt more settled.
It was only then that the mother and daughter remembered that Yang Huazhong and the others had been on the road since Tianma Liang. It was still in the first month of the year, and the in-laws and their entire family had come all the way from Changping Village, dragging their families with them. He even brought so many things to pay New Year greetings, but he didn't even entertain guests. As soon as they arrived, they started helping the He family with their work.
The mother and daughter felt extremely apologetic and quickly started planning dinner.
Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and waved to He Lian'er at this time: "Lian'er, you are not busy with dinner. Now you can ask a servant to show me the way. I will go to Hu's house."
"Ah? Sister, the Hu family? The Hu family is so fierce. The servants of a large family..."
"Don't worry, your sister, I'm here to reason with you, not to fight."
>
"Qing'er, don't go, wait until Tang Yazi and Xiao An come back!" Yang Huazhong stood up and stopped Yang Ruoqing.
Sun also came over hurriedly, and the couple's eyes were full of worry.
Only Ping An knows that the old man and his wife are overly worried. If they see the general's wife climbing trees, they will understand how powerful the general's wife is!
Yang Ruoqing smiled at Yang Huazhong and Sun and said, "Father, mother, it's okay. You have to believe your daughter. I really want to be reasonable. I believe that the husband-in-law of the Hu family is the county guard. That Hu Mr. Xuesonghu was also a civil servant in the early years. With his background as an official, he must be reasonable. When we reasonable people come together, I will definitely convince people with reason."
Yang Huazhong and Sun knew Yang Ruoqing's decision. One thing cannot be stopped.
And Yang Ruoqing is right, she is right to convince people with reason.
Sun Shi glanced at Yang Huazhong, who took a step forward and said, "Yes, keep everything within reason. Let's go, dad will go with you!"
Yang Ruoqing also knew that she couldn't stop her. I am a dad, so I smiled and said: "Okay, if there are more people, let's talk things out together, so we can get more things done and it will be smoother." (End of Chapter)
