"Oh oh oh!"
The sound of cock crows one after another wakes up Dahe Village.
I didn't sleep well last night because in the middle of the night, the man in black who was locked up in the firewood shed at the back woke up. Fifty or sixty people suddenly started making a noise, which was so noisy that they could only discharge the electricity again to make them faint. .
She yawned, put on her clothes, washed and combed her hair, opened the door and went out.
It was a cool morning at the end of August, and the yard was already busy. Xiao Zhuzhu got up early and played with the geese and dogs in the yard.
Zhao Ergou was supposed to go to the Dahe Banquet, but because the family affairs had not been settled yet, he stayed at home, holding his son in his arms, and patiently teaching his son to recite the Three-Character Sutra. Unfortunately, the little guy couldn't speak at all. It keeps babbling.
On the contrary, Xiao Zhuzhu followed her second uncle and read: "In the beginning, human nature is good and similar in nature..."
The soft and waxy voice makes those who listen feel sweet in their hearts.
Cheng Wanwan couldn't help but sigh. After one more year, her eldest granddaughter will be three years old and can go to school. Time flies so fast.
Now the eldest daughter-in-law is about to give birth to the baby in her belly. If she waits not too long, the second daughter-in-law will probably be pregnant too. Judging from this, their family will have more and more people. There will be three cows to marry and four eggs to marry. Marrying a wife... just thinking about it makes me dizzy.
"Anren!" Cheng Jia hurriedly came from the backyard, "Master He woke up and said he wanted to see Anren."
Cheng Wanwan picked up her eldest granddaughter and said, "When I wake up in the morning, I feel sick when I see those people. Let's prepare breakfast first."
Wei Hongying nodded: "Breakfast is ready. I will bring it to you soon."
The breakfast is very rich, including pimple soup, pork powder, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, tofu buns, pot stickers, snacks and fruits... As a family, everyone can eat whatever they like when they get up. Their family is not that kind. What complicated rules.
Cheng Wanwan had just finished eating eight minutes full when Yan Hong walked over from the gate: "An Ren, the prefect and the county magistrate are here."
"I thought I would come in the morning, but I didn't expect it to be so early." Cheng Wanwan handed the child in her arms to Yan Hong and asked people to take the children to the side courtyard.
She straightened her clothes and walked out.
There were two carriages parked at the entrance of the house. One was from County Magistrate Shen Dongming and Shen, and the other was from Huzhou Magistrate Zhu Gaoliangzhu.
Behind the carriage, there were four or five servants following. Those servants looked at Cheng Wanwan with anger and hatred in their eyes. She smiled. This should be the person He Ling brought to serve. She was waiting for him. These people went to report the news. If the prefect did not come, the drama would not be possible.
"I've met the prefect."
Cheng Wanwan walked down the steps, bent his knees slightly and made a common salute.
"People of Sui'an, don't be polite." Magistrate Zhu raised his hand in vain, "I came to Dahe Village this time because I heard that Young Master He, the legitimate son of the He family in the capital, appeared here yesterday. Is there anything related to this?"
Magistrate Shen explained on the side: "The servants of the He family went to Huzhou overnight to report to the official. The matter involved the He family in the capital. Therefore, the prefect made this trip specially. The people of Sui'an reported the situation truthfully. Can."
Cheng Wanwan's eyes suddenly became solemn: "It turns out that he is really from the He family. No wonder he dares to be so arrogant."
Magistrate Zhu also looked grave: "So, the people of Sui'an really locked up Young Master He?"
He Hanhai, the second-rank official of the He family, the eldest young master of the He family, and the third-rank young master of the He family are all important officials in the court. How dare the people of Sui'an...
He exhaled slowly and said, "Sui'an people, please release Young Master He first. If you have anything to do, let's talk about it slowly."
Cheng Wanwan pursed her lips: "Since the prefect has spoken, then come in with me."
She walked into the house, and Zhu Zhifu and Magistrate Shen quickly followed her.
After sitting down in the yard, she served tea and then ordered Cheng Jia to bring He Lingsong over.
In the distance, angry curses were heard.
"That bitch from Sui'an treated me like this. Do you really think you can do whatever you want since this place is far away from the capital?"
"The Ye family is plotted by you because the Ye family has no brains. I, the He family, have been a century-old family. You don't think you can do the same as you did against the Ye family, do you?"
"I tell you, let me go, otherwise, I will let you die without a burial place!"
Zhu Zhifu was sitting in the courtyard and couldn't believe it when he heard these angry curses.
Although he was not a capital official, he had heard about the deeds of the eldest son of the He family. He said that the eldest son was Young Master Qianqian, that he was courteous and courteous to others, and that he was one of the four young masters in the capital... But those indiscriminate remarks just now Yan's angry curse came from the mouth of this young master from an aristocratic family, which almost shocked Magistrate Zhu's jaw...
He stared at the corridor and saw He Ling being led out by Cheng A and Cheng Yi.
This doesn't look like a young man from an aristocratic family... He's swearing, his hair is messy, his face is dirty, and his clothes are in tatters...
He Ling almost went crazy.
He was born with a golden key in his mouth, and was born as the eldest son of the He family. He was raised by others, and he had never suffered anything like this.
As long as he thinks of last night, he was tied up and forced to live in a woodshed with fifty or sixty people, lying on the dirty weeds. From time to time, cockroaches and mice would attack him. His whole body ached terribly, and his stomach hurt. Very hungry... He didn't dare to recall being in such a miserable state a second time.
As soon as he saw Cheng Wanwan, his eyes began to burn. The image of the eldest young master of the He family, the modesty and courtesy of the fourth young master in the capital, the face of the He family, the reputation of the century-old family... were all forgotten by him. .
But he didn't dare to rush over. This bitch seemed to have witchcraft. As soon as she got close, his person would suddenly fall to the ground and twitch...
He raised his eyes and saw Magistrate Zhu and Magistrate Shen in official uniforms. He knew that his reinforcements had arrived.
"How dare you, the governor of Huzhou, to capture this criminal woman quickly!"
He Ling straightened his back and released his momentum, but he was too embarrassed to release his momentum at all.
Magistrate Zhu stepped forward and cupped his hands: "I have met Master He. There must be some misunderstandings between Master He and people from Sui'an. Why don't we sit down and explain it clearly..."
"Ha, misunderstanding? Did this bitch say it was a misunderstanding?" He Ling was so angry that he was delirious. "I came to Dahe Village on errands, but I was tied up, beaten and humiliated by this bitch. This bitch committed the crime below and intended to murder an important official of the court. , he deserves to be punished for his crime! He has harbored fugitives from the imperial court and repeatedly refused to obey. The three clans should be implicated! Huzhou Magistrate, what are you still doing? The officials are here, let them come in and put everyone here in jail for trial! "
Although Magistrate Zhu was afraid of the He family, he would not just listen to one side's words. He turned to look at Cheng Wanwan: "What can the people of Sui'an say?"
"Since Young Master He is not willing to sit down and have a good talk, then I can only ask the prefect to bring justice to our Dahe Village!" Cheng Wanwan looked solemn and ordered Zhao Ergou beside him, "Jing Cheng, Let the injured villagers come over and let the prefect take a good look at what our Dahe Village has gone through."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Ergou immediately went to do it. After the villagers learned that the Huzhou magistrate had entered the village, they came over one by one to watch the excitement.
As soon as Zhao Ergou opened his mouth, injured people rushed in.
Second Master Zhao and several other elderly ladies were carried on stretchers, Wang Yongcheng and other men from the patrol team had their legs clamped by wooden boards, and Mrs. Zhu and several other old women helped in with their heads soaked in blood gauze. There were also many villagers with bloodstains on their faces or broken arms... This scene made the prefect's anger surge up immediately.
