Chapter 697 Bandits
"I have to rest for a while. Just put on a simple bun." Xia Zihan finally moved to the dressing table and ordered Chu Cang.
After washing up, Chu Fei brought chicken soup, several plates of side dishes, and a plate of three-fresh pie.
"It's time to have dinner soon. The prince said that the princess should eat some first. In the evening, the prince will eat with the princess." Chu Fei said, putting all the food in the tray on the table.
"Where is the prince?"
That bastard squeezed her dry and ran away. It was so annoying.
"Discuss the matter with my cousin in the front yard." Chu Fei said, "Tingsheng said that my cousin wants to be transferred to another place. If he doesn't go back to the capital, he can just stay in a few cities near the capital."
Then, she lowered her voice a little and told Xia Zihan, "Mianyang City is humid and rains a lot. It seems that my cousin is not used to the climate here. I heard from the cook that my cousin has been seriously ill in the past few years. twice, twice It was all due to wind and cold, and one time it was particularly dangerous. Fortunately, she was rescued. The cousin cried so hard that she almost had a miscarriage. As for what happened during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, this matter was hidden from the capital. ”
"This time, when my cousin went to clear the road, my cousin was worried. She even asked the doctor to go with her. My cousin drank a bowl of ginger candies three times a day to keep away the cold. Then everything was fine."

"My cousin came up with the idea of transferring his job, and it was my cousin who persuaded him. My cousin wanted to follow the path of the prince, and he didn't want the Liao family to know about it."
Maybe he doesn't want to be transferred to Beijing.
If the eldest master of the Liao family knew that Liao Jingtang had been seriously ill twice, he would definitely transfer Liao Jingtang to Beijing without hesitation. At that time, Zeng Jing would fall into the hands of the old lady of the Liao family again.
If Mrs. Liao knew that Liao Jingtang had been seriously ill twice, then Zeng Jing would definitely have no good fruits in her hands.
Liao Jingtang must be worried about Zeng Jing and his two children.
I heard from Zeng Jing that Mrs. Liao was still determined to give birth to this little boy and sent two maids and two wives over.
The two maids were specially found by Mrs. Liao. They were very beautiful and said they were here to help her serve Liao Jingtang. As for the two women, one was here to help her take care of Brother Hong, and the other was here to help her take care of the housework. thing.
Mrs. Liao wanted to evade her and make her a puppet granddaughter-in-law in her hands.
It was Liao Jingtang who acted decisively. Without saying a word, he gave the two maids to his two capable subordinates, and drove the two women to the village where Zeng Jing was married, guarded by Zeng Jing's companion.
Not only that, Liao Jingtang also wrote a letter to tell Mrs. Liao that he just had a body, not very strong, and could not serve so many women.
His body can only satisfy one woman. If there is one more woman, his body will not be able to bear it.
It means that Mrs. Liao should not think of breaking up the couple in the future. He is weak and cannot bear it.
After Mrs. Liao received the letter, she became so angry that she became seriously ill.
Fortunately, Liao Jingtang's mother longed for her son and daughter-in-law who were far away in Mianyang City. When she learned that Zeng Jing was pregnant again, Mrs. Liao was so happy that she even laughed in her dreams.
While Mrs. Liao was still recovering from her serious illness, Mrs. Liao secretly brought a lot of good things to Zeng Jing to eat, and also brought her three hundred taels of silver.
This was the first time that the Liao family brought money to Liao Jingtang and his wife after they arrived in Mianyang City. Mrs. Liao secretly gave the money to them without telling everyone else.
Seeing that Mrs. Liao was still determined to change her mind, Liao Jingtang completely gave up on going to the capital. However, he was also worried that his body was not suitable to continue to stay in Mianyang City, so he asked Chu Jingqi to help him find a way to transfer. Go somewhere else. After Xia Zihan ate chicken soup, Chu Jingqi came back.
The couple brought this up.
Chu Jingqi said, "Although Liao Jingtang is young, he still has some skills. As soon as he came to Mianyang City, he eradicated the biggest bully in Mianyang City and gained the respect and love of the people. Mianyang City has been under his management in recent years. Down , It’s getting better year by year, and there are a lot less robbers and thieves in the past. Even the emperor praised him by name in the court, and he wanted to be transferred. In fact, it was just a matter of words.”
Of course, eradicating a local bully is not something a new prefect can do by just issuing an order.
Chu Jingqi told Xia Zihan that Qi Mei and Dongfang Yi helped him.
If it weren't for Qi Mei and Dongfang Yi who helped him, Liao Jingtang would have been secretly killed by bullies long ago.
"What's going on?" Xia Zihan asked curiously.
In fact, he was a local bully in Mianyang City who oppressed the people, occupied land, raped women, and committed all kinds of evil.
Because there is a brother-in-law who is a third-rank official in the capital with a strong backing and a strong backing, the bully bullies the people even more unscrupulously.
Generally, the magistrates who come to take office in Mianyang City are officials with little backing and backing, and they dare not offend him.
When Liao Jingtang arrived, the bully gave him gifts first. What kind of person was Liao Jingtang? He was as upright as Xia Shiming. How could he dare to accept gifts from others?
Immediately, without saying a word, he returned the gift.
His action was like Hong Guoguo's slap in the bully's face. The bully became angry and sent someone to warn him.
After warning again, Liao Jingtang didn't take it seriously.
When the warning was given for the second time, it happened that Qi Mei and Dongfang Yi came to Mianyang City to visit them. After learning about this, Qi Mei suggested that they send someone to investigate the details of the bully first.
At that time, Dongfang Yi and Qi Mei came to Mianyang City to visit and wanted to stay here for a few more days. They planned to help Liao Jingtang learn about this bully.
Zeng Jing is Xia Zihan's cousin and has a close relationship. She also met Qi Mei once. When Qi Mei got married, Zeng Jing even sent her makeup, so the two of them were familiar with each other. Moreover, Xia Zihan also wrote to Qi Mei. , asked Qi Mei to take more care of Liao Jingtang and Zeng Jing. Qi Mei did not dare to neglect the master's order.
Now, Liao Jingtang, a powerless civil servant, encountered a major incident that threatened his life. They couldn't just watch and ignore it.
After finding out the details of the bully and learning that the bully had done too many evil things, Liao Jingtang was so angry that he threw his head down. The disposition to promote good and eliminate evil was forced out of him. I vowed to eradicate this cancer from Mianyang City.
When the bully learned that Liao Jingtang was investigating him, he also secretly thought of a way to kill Liao Jingtang.
When Liao Jingtang, Zeng Jing, Qi Mei, and Dongfang Yi went to burn incense in a famous temple in Mianyang City, they were robbed by bandits on the way.
That temple is particularly famous. People from the surrounding cities come here to burn incense and worship Buddha. It can be said that many people pass by that road every day. How could there be bandits? Moreover, it is just right, so they are not allowed to touch it. arrive?
