They are clearly enemies, almost irreconcilable.
As a result, after these children got the Madam's obscene clothes, they sent them over as soon as possible, risking the possibility of being misunderstood and the risk of not being able to go back.
Between emotion and reason, He Chengzhang should have respect in his heart.
But thinking about the agreement he made when leaving Fengjing, he could only struggle and said, "You have helped me this time, and I will thank you... It's just that our position cannot be changed."
This means having to deal with several brothers and sisters.
Xu Mo didn't have any surprises. He cupped his hands and said loudly, "The student did not send the obscene clothes to repay a favor. Since the Sheriff has received it, the student will leave here."
After bowing politely, the brother and sister left.
Returning to the carriage, Zheng Ruqian couldn't help but mutter, "I knew it was a waste of time. The county magistrate didn't take it seriously at all and insisted on dealing with us. It would be better to throw the dirty clothes out. How about love?" "
He is completely unworthy of his brothers and sisters.
Jiang Sheng stuck his head out and said crisply, "But second brother, what we were initially afraid of was that the county governor would make things difficult for us."
Zheng Ruqian's voice stopped suddenly.
Human beings are always greedy monsters. Obviously, they were originally worried about the brothers and sisters falling into the tiger's mouth, but when they came out successfully, they blamed the county governor for being ungrateful and not knowing how to repay the kindness.
In fact, if you think about it, they avoided the frame-up, saved a lady's reputation, and walked out of the county governor's house unharmed. It was a series of good things.
Zheng Ruqian imagined the scene where he took out two sets of obscene clothes in front of everyone. Even if it was unintentional, County Sheriff He would definitely not be able to forgive him.
It would be terrible if he was forced to marry a wife.
It would be even worse if she married Hao Xiangxiang.
Zheng Ruqian shuddered and suddenly felt very satisfied, "It's pretty good now."
"Yes, it's pretty good." Jiang Sheng agreed loudly, "I'm going to eat a few more ribs to reward myself tonight."
Xu Mo couldn't help laughing and touched her braid.
Sheriff He's skills were as sharp as ever. After getting the two sets of Madam's obscene clothes, he no longer had any scruples and struck coldly.
Since the person behind the scenes wanted him to deal with the brothers and sisters of Hairpin Flower Xiaoyuan, he took advantage of the situation and revealed his plans for the Xu Mo brothers and sisters, and repeatedly jumped between several choices, unable to make up his mind.
At this time, someone was anxious.
A servant from the Sheriff's Mansion offered advice, "Sir, I don't know if the workshop in the hairpin courtyard is clean or not. Why don't you send someone to check it out, just in case the evil intentions they harbor can be found out?"
It would be even more exciting if we could find out the county governor's wife's obscene clothes.
He Chengzhang nodded coldly, his eyes fell on the slave, and he opened his mouth, "Catch him and interrogate him properly."
Interrogate who is receiving the benefits and sowing discord here.
As the governor of a county, he has the entire government office in his hands, and there are only a lot more instruments of torture.
Although the laws of the Dayu Dynasty stipulated that local officials were not allowed to use torture without any reason, but if he did use it, no one could do anything about it.
So not long after, the slave gave the explanation.
"It's the Sun family."
When the dog was anxious and jumped over the wall, the Sun family could have produced a county guard, which was enough to prove the family's strength. However, he had been targeted several times by County Sheriff He, and he had long been annoyed.
This time I took action not only to teach Governor He a lesson, but also to take advantage of the opportunity to target Hairpin Xiaoyuan. It could be said that it killed two birds with one stone.
But unexpectedly, the Xu Mo brothers and sisters actually sent the dirty clothes directly to the county governor's house.
Unexpectedly, the county governor did not indiscriminately hate the Xu Mo brothers and sisters, but instead took the opportunity to dig out the mastermind behind the scenes.
Sun family.
After learning that the informant buried in the Sheriff's Mansion was missing, Sun Ning, the head of the Sun family, was extremely nervous and summoned several right-hand men overnight to discuss the crisis.
"Master, you are confused." An old man with a sheep's beard lamented bitterly, "The Governor He should be on the same side as us, why did you target him and now make him hate us? The gains outweigh the gains!"
Sun Ning had a sullen face, "It's He Chengzhang who doesn't follow common sense. I just gave him two beautiful concubines, but he made the family uneasy. What did I do wrong?"
Besides, the Sun family is not nobody, so why should they be tortured all the time.
Now it's just that the plan failed. If it succeeded, they would be able to enjoy the results after He Chengzhang finished dealing with those brats.
"But it has failed now." The Sun family shook their heads, "We have completely offended the county governor."
The parents who were supposed to be supportive have now become enemies.
Things are not going well for the Sun family, not going well.
Sun Ning was still arrogant, "I'm just an Anshui County Sheriff, what's there to be afraid of? Our Sun family is an old family that has been around for decades. As long as Yuyao can marry into the Fang family, He Chengzhang is nothing."
After all, the one named He was a dog arranged by the Fang family.
It's just that this dog is not obedient enough and has a crazy nature.
The next day, the Sun family's business was violently retaliated again, leaving everything in its wake a mess.
If Magistrate He had some mercy last time, then this time he was forcing someone to death. He had indifference written all over him, and he was ruthless in every way.
The Sun family couldn't bear it anymore and sent someone to deliver a message to the county governor's house.
The content of the letter is also simple, just one sentence: Have you forgotten your promise to the Fang family?
He Chengzhang sneered, took it and tore it apart completely, "Tell the Sun family that I promised the Fang family to make Fang Heng disappear, but I didn't promise the Fang family to protect your Sun family's prosperity."
It is said that the county magistrate is not as good as being in charge now. Although the Sun family sent a distress message to the Fang family, the one-month delay in sending the message back and forth still allowed He Chengzhang to destroy the Sun family in revenge.
A great and glorious family has withered away.
During this period, Hairpin Flower Courtyard enjoyed a rare moment of tranquility, with the brothers and sisters quietly doing their own things.
The New Year is approaching, and there are still three or four months before the provincial examination. Although Xu Mo has received two first-class exams, he is still nervous.
The general examination is different from the first two examinations. It becomes more difficult as it goes on, and the candidates who participate in it are getting older. Some of them have even participated more than ten times and have extremely rich experience.
In comparison, the immature Xu Mo does not take any advantage.
But since he agreed to the former county governor, Xu Mo would definitely study hard and try to pass the examination.
He wants to become a civil servant, protect his younger brothers and sisters, and set out for a more glorious future.
But this is easier said than done.
Xu Mo had been unable to read for a long time recently and felt depressed, so he simply put down his books and walked to the door of Hairpin Flower Courtyard.
After lowering the bolt and opening the wooden door, he saw the eight-foot-tall county guard standing outside, plus a dozen government officials.
A bit aggressive, but also inexplicably embarrassed.
Xu Mo was confused.
He Chengzhang coughed and said in a deep voice, "I have been ordered by my superiors to inspect the hygiene in the workshop. If it is not up to standard, it must be closed for rectification."
But in this world, how can any county governor personally come to check on the hygiene?
