Chapter 1381 The Young Generation Is Fierce

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't see it. There is such a talented person in Hukang County. He can come up with such a bad idea. He is not afraid of those outsiders cuckolding him? The man named Feng stays in Hukang County all year round. How can those outsiders who live in other places endure loneliness, why don’t they try their best to steal men while he’s away?”

"Who knows, but the man named Feng is definitely not that stupid. He must have left someone behind to watch those women."

The guys talked and talked about how many concubines and daughters Shopkeeper Feng had.

"How many families did Shopkeeper Feng have in the past twenty years? How many daughters did he have?"

"Who knows, look at how fertile she is, she could have hundreds of daughters at least."

"Ah, do you think Shopkeeper Feng is a female mouse? Can she give birth to more than ten mice in one litter?"

The people in Fucheng, He'an Prefecture, are very gossipy. After listening to the story, they gathered together to gossip about Shopkeeper Feng's family. In the end, they quarreled so much about how many wives and daughters Shopkeeper Feng had that they almost got into a fight. .

Someone also asked a big question: "It's impossible for all the aunts raised by Shopkeeper Feng to have daughters, so how should the sons be placed? I haven't heard that Shopkeeper Feng's family has many sons whose birth mothers are unknown."

"Hey, what's so hard to guess about this? Isn't it that in order to give birth to a good-looking daughter, a prostitute with good color is specially found in Jiangnan to raise him? If the son is born to be beautiful, of course he will give it away. There are many immortal kings. Everyone loves it."

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed: "Yes, yes, the boy can also be an immortal king!"

In addition to gossiping about Shopkeeper Feng's family, they also gossiped about Jia Tongpan.

Before Gu Jinan and the others arrived at Tong'an Mansion, Jia Tongpan's reputation spread throughout He'an Mansion and even reached Linhe Mansion.

…

In Tong'an Mansion, which is three days away from He'an Mansion, Magistrate Xi was warming himself by the fire while complaining: "There are constant natural disasters, and the weather is cold this year. The prices of everything have increased, and we are required to provide cold-warming supplies to the recruits. It's really... , Where did the money come from?”

Magistrate Xi kept complaining.

But why does he still have the nerve to complain about this?

There is a copper mine in Tong'an Mansion. It is named after the copper mine. It is impossible to buy cold-proof materials for the recruits without money. He is just stingy and doesn't want to give them.

Just as he was complaining happily, he heard the sound of drumming in the distance. Magistrate Xi frowned and cursed dissatisfiedly: "What are you knocking for? It's almost the New Year and you come to complain. If you wait until the New Year is over, you will die."

However, Magistrate Xi didn't pay much attention to it. After all, it was Jia Tongpian's business to try the case, and he would only be bothered by it unless it was a big case.

But not long after, his confidant Master Su rushed in and said to Magistrate Xi: "Sir, something serious has happened!"

Magistrate Xi frowned when he heard this and glared at Master Su: "Master Su, what are you shouting for? It's almost the Chinese New Year. It's unlucky to say such things."

Master Su said: "Sir, if this matter is not handled well, none of us will want to celebrate the New Year!"

so serious?

Magistrate Xi straightened his face and asked, "What's going on? Please tell me clearly."

Master Su immediately told the matter.

After hearing this, Magistrate Xi jumped up, pointed at Master Su and asked in surprise: "What did you say? Gu Jin'an, our little San Yuan Lang from Jianghuai wants to sue Jia Tongpan?!"

Are all young people today so ferocious? A young scholar dared to sue a fifth-grade official, and he sued across the government.

Master Su nodded: "Your Excellency, you heard me right. It is Gu Jinan who wants to sue Jia Tongpan. He also brought Fang Xiancheng from Tianfu County, Tang Tongpan from He'an Prefecture, and Dou Shaodong from the Dou family. , it seems that there is a man named Asong, who is Mr. Ouyang’s servant.”

After hearing this, Magistrate Xi exclaimed: "Good fellow, you have brought so many helpers. No wonder you dare to sue Jia Tongpan."

Magistrate Xi sat down and pondered something, which made Master Su anxious and said hurriedly: "Sir, please stop sitting and go out and have a look. According to the criminal law, the accused cannot go to court. And you As the superior officer of Jia Tongpan and the chief official of the government office, I have to go to the court to administer justice."

Bah, presiding over justice, he didn't want to be involved in such a thankless task.

However, it was not up to him.

Not long after, the head of the yamen team rushed in and shouted: "My lord, sir, something is wrong. The Dou Shaodong family of Dou Ou Bank has made a fuss outside. They are shouting that the lord is protecting his subordinates and deliberately do not go to court for trial." The case! He also threatened your lord, if you don’t go out to the court, he will go to Beijing to file a petition!"

"What?!" Magistrate Xi jumped up again, his handsome face twisted with anger: "A lowly businessman named Dou dares to ruin our official reputation like this, thinking that he has made meritorious service and won't get it in front of His Majesty. If you have a good reputation, you won't take me seriously?"

Master Su was about to explode and urged: "Sir, Dou has such a temper that even his own father dared to deal with him. Even Meng Yushi was brought down by him. Let's go see him first and take a look at the case. Bar."

Don't fight head-on with someone surnamed Dou. That's a life-threatening situation. If not, they will be tortured to death by someone surnamed Dou!

Magistrate Xi also knew that he couldn't hide. Even Tang Tongpan came. It was obvious that Gu Jinan had evidence. He had to come forward, so he straightened his official uniform and said, "Let's go out and take a look."

Take a look first, then go to the hall.

In the court, Jia Tongpian was very angry. He wanted to drag the shouting Dou Shaodong family into the court, but was stopped by the Dou family's shadow guard. He wanted to go back to the back office to talk to Magistrate Xi, but was grabbed by Tang Tongpian again. .

The villain surnamed Tang said with a serious face: "Jia Tongxuan, according to the criminal law of Dachu, you have been sued, and the accuser has solid evidence. You cannot leave at will. Come on, come on, sit down first, Don’t make things difficult for me.”

The two of them were at the same level. Jia Tongpan could not do anything to Tang Tongpan, so he could only be dragged along like this.

However, Jia Tong was not deaf. After hearing what Dou Shaodong's family said, he already knew that he and shopkeeper Feng had conspired to control the Gu family's wealth. He immediately winked at his confidant and asked the manager to go back quickly and send a message to Hu Xueyao. He was bitten to death because he didn't know Shopkeeper Feng. She was the daughter of a small family in the south of the Yangtze River. Her father's surname was Hu.

But who are Dou Shaodong’s family? He was extremely shrewd and had a shadow guard by his side. After the steward of the Jia family left the back door of the government office, the shadow guard of the Dou family grabbed the steward directly into the carriage and prevented him from returning to the mansion to report the news.

By the time Jia Tongpan realized something was wrong, Magistrate Xi had already come out.

When Dou Shaodong's family saw Magistrate Xi, they shouted: "Master Xi, you are really busy with official duties. Such a big case has arisen. Tang Tongpan and Fang Xiancheng are waiting for you to come out now."

Although Magistrate Xi is an official, he is quite like a profiteer inside. He said: "Dou Shaodong's family, I am really busy. This matter of recruiting soldiers and preparing warm clothes for new soldiers is related to our great Chu's war against the Rong. I don't dare to neglect it. I haven't slept for several nights and have been working hard, so I'm late."
