"Is it really that simple?"
Huang Fengnian asked suspiciously: "You have no other requests?"
"It really does."
Zhao Ping said: "You robbed the Feng family, can you give me the medicinal materials?"
Huang Fengnian became even more suspicious, "You are not a medical officer and cannot practice medicine at all. Why do you need so many medicinal materials?"
"Magistrate Huang, this is another great achievement."
Zhao Ping said: "It's the autumn harvest now, but it starts to rain. In order to harvest, the people have to work in the rain. Every day, every part of their body has not been worked."
"If this continues, you will definitely get cold."
"A large-scale outbreak is a plague."
"If County Magistrate Huang can prevent it in advance, the number of sick people will definitely be reduced. Even if some people with weak constitutions are infected with wind and cold, they can be treated by stocking up on medicinal materials, and the plague will not break out."
"Isn't this another great achievement?"
"Together with these two merits, I'm afraid I will change my name to County Sheriff Huang."
"this……"
Huang Fengnian hesitated.
Zhao Ping continued: "Magistrate Huang, let's ignore the plague for now. Just give me the Feng family's medicinal materials. It's not worth much money."
Huang Fengnian had no objection.
He is just a county magistrate, not a medical officer. Even if he gets the medicinal materials, he cannot sell them.
Might as well sell it to Zhao Ping as a favor.
He simply agreed.
It was already noon, so Huang Fengnian left Zhao Ping to eat, and Zhao Ping didn't refuse.
In order to show his integrity, Huang Fengnian's family's meals are very simple.
Wild vegetables with porridge, plus a few steamed buns.
Zhao Ping found it difficult to swallow, so he took a few bites and stopped eating.
At this time, the government officials came over to report that they had finished ransacking Feng Zhengchu's house and brought all the items to the county government for Huang Fengnian to take a look at.
The silver alone is nearly 10,000 taels, as well as various jewelry, diluted treasures, house deeds, land acres, etc. The total value is probably over 15,000 taels.
Huang Fengnian was so happy that he couldn't find the north.
A document was copied on the spot, the case of the Wen family in Qianmen Village was reopened, and the verdict was pronounced a second time.
And an announcement was made.
There is a lot of content, but the meaning is very simple.
Feng Zhengchu coveted the Wen family's money and designed to frame the Wen family, which led to a miscarriage of justice by the former county magistrate and the execution of the entire Wen family.
The "fish that slipped through the net" is no longer a slave, but restored to a good status.
He also took the initiative to admit his mistake and apologized to the Wen family, saying that he discovered it too late and caused the Wen family to suffer injustice for so many years.
They also exempted and exempted half of the extra tax from Qianmen Village.
From now on, paying taxes will be just like other villages.
This announcement immediately caused an uproar after it was explained by someone who was literate.
Everyone praised Huang Fengnian as the real master of Qingtian.
In particular, the villagers of Qianmen Village knelt on the ground and kowtow to express gratitude, and even set up longevity plaques for Huang Fengnian.
Huang Fengnianmei's nose started bubbling.
Not to mention, this feeling is so comfortable.
Just by moving your fingers, you can gain the respect of all people.
Why hasn't it been discovered earlier?
Zhao Ping had the foresight to think of using this method to gain credit for himself.
What about the plague he was talking about?
Huang Fengnian was really moved.
When he saw Zhao Ping loading the Feng family's medicinal materials into the carriage, he not only did not stop him, he even took the initiative to say that if the medicinal materials were not enough, just ask the county government for them, and the county government would find a way to buy them.
Zhao Ping was not polite and nodded in agreement.
After all, the Feng family has very few medicinal materials, and they don't even have a carriage.
There are many styles, and all kinds of medicinal materials are available, almost a complete set, but the quantity is too small.
Especially when it comes to treating wind and cold, I can barely boil a few buckets of decoction.
Zhao Ping was not polite and accepted the order.
After all, it's better than nothing.
With these medicinal materials, we might be able to prevent dozens more people from catching colds.
Huang Fengnian offered another favor and wanted to help him purchase medicinal materials, so Zhao Ping was naturally happy to accept.
After loading the medicinal materials, Zhao Ping tore up another notice and then returned to Xiping Village in a carriage.
Huang Fengnian looked at his leaving figure and couldn't help but secretly praise him, this guy is not simple.
He is not very old, but he is very resourceful.
In just a few days, he was able to completely destroy the Feng family, kill Ma Jiu, and even give himself some suggestions.
If you really do it, you will definitely achieve success.
Huang Fengnian couldn't help but feel a little moved. After thinking for a moment, he ordered his subordinates, "Come here, call Lin Hua and Cao Qing."
Zhao Ping didn't know this and handed the notice to Wenhui after returning to Xiping Village.
Wenhui read it word for word.
Tears fell down.
His body was shaking with excitement.
He didn't care about the people next to him and threw himself directly into Zhao Ping's arms.
She cried and said: "My dear friend, thank you for helping my family clear their grievances. From now on, I, Wen Huisheng, will be yours, and my death will be yours. I will never betray you, otherwise I will be struck by lightning and die a happy death."
"It's just a simple matter, it doesn't need to be that serious."
Zhao Ping patted Wen Hui's back to comfort her.
Then he continued: "Wen Hui, can I discuss something with you?"
"whats the matter?"
Wenhui wiped her tears and said, "As long as your husband orders me, I will definitely obey you."
"Can we not get married?"
Zhao Ping said.
"What?"
Wen Hui was dumbfounded on the spot.
Staring at Zhao Ping, he didn't react for a long time.
On the other hand, Liu Mengru on the side heard this and immediately picked up a stick, pointed at Zhao Ping and shouted: "Zhao Ping, what do you mean?"
"Are the wings hard?"
"Don't you want to admit it after all?"
"If you don't get married, aren't you forcing Wenhui to die?"
"She is my sister now, and I will never allow you to bully her in the slightest."
Ever since Liu Mengru used her power to defeat Ma Jiu that day, her entire state had changed.
She is no longer the docile and well-behaved young lady she was before, but she is filled with the characteristics of a ruffian, always picking up a stick to teach Zhao Ping a lesson.
Of course, this was also the time she spent with Zhao Ping, and Liu Mengru felt that Zhao Ping had completely changed.
Moreover, Zhao Ping instilled in her the idea of equality between men and women every day when she went to bed.
Otherwise, she really wouldn't dare.
After all, in the Dawei Dynasty, the status of women was always inferior to that of men.
If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken. If you marry a dog, follow the dog.
Once you get married, you have to let your husband's family suffer.
Even if I sell you, I can only swallow the pain in my stomach.
Fortunately, Zhao Ping is a member of today's society, and the concept of equality between men and women is deeply rooted in his mind.
Seeing this, he hurriedly surrendered, "Mengru, can you listen to my explanation first?"
"When I say no marriage, I just don't hold a wedding ceremony."
"But the documents still have to go. When we get the documents, Wenhui will still be my legal wife."
"Why not have a wedding?"
Liu Mengru's words were still bad, "Wenhui is alone now, and I am her natal family."
"You don't have three matchmakers and six betrothals. It would be rude to marry her home in eight sedans. Now you don't want to hold a wedding ceremony. Do you still have Wenhui in your eyes?"
"Sister Mengru, don't worry, let's hear what your husband thinks first."
Wen Hui pulled Liu Mengru to persuade her thoughtfully.
Liu Mengru then put down the stick, glared at Zhao Ping and said, "If you don't tell me why today, I will spread your ass."
"Mengru, you have also seen that I cured Tian Rou's disease and received several hundred taels of silver, a few horses and a carriage, and I started to attract people's jealousy."
Zhao Ping smiled bitterly and said, "The Feng family is a precedent."
"They saw the wealth and wanted to kill me. They asked Ma Jiu to come and assassinate me."
"If we hold a big banquet, wouldn't it be too high-profile?"
"If it arouses concern again, can we stop it?"
"this……"
Liu Mengru couldn't answer the question.
Zhao Ping took the opportunity to ask again: "And how dilapidated is our family?"
"There are only three adobe houses. To marry Wenhui back like this is to wrong her."
"What's more, as the eldest brother, you only went to the government to go through the formalities when you got married, and you didn't even have a decent meal."
"Wenhui is just the second wife, why should her wedding be grander than yours?"
"Isn't this taking the spotlight?"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Although Liu Mengru was moved, she still complained for Wen Hui.
"wait."
Zhao Ping said: "When our strength develops, when we build new houses, we have the ability to protect ourselves."
"Not only do I want to hold a grand wedding for Wen Hui, but I will also marry you when the time comes. Let's make up for a grand ceremony so that we won't treat you badly."
"Wen Hui, what do you think?"
Liu Mengru turned to ask Wen Hui.
Wen Hui naturally had no objection.
She is already Zhao Ping's, it doesn't matter whether there is that ceremony or not.
As long as Zhao Ping doesn't abandon her, even if she is just a maid serving others, she will be satisfied.
"That's okay with me."
Liu Mengru said with a smile.
The aura that erupted from her body suddenly dissipated, and she once again returned to her little womanly posture.
He got into Zhao Ping's arms, beat his chest, and said angrily: "My lord, you are so bad. Can't you discuss this kind of thing with us in advance?"
"You said it so abruptly, I almost misunderstood."
"Hahaha, don't I want to surprise you."
Zhao Ping smiled and said: "The surprise is gone after you made such a fuss."
"It's gone when it's gone."
Liu Mengru said nonchalantly: "As women, we are the greatest happiness if we can live a stable life without being treated harshly by our husband's family."
"By the way, sir, when will our strength develop?"
"It can't be too late. If we wait a few decades, we will all be old and we can become new wives. If the news spreads, we won't be laughed at by others."
"soon."
Zhao Ping said: "You help Wenhui prepare the medicine, and I will make a plan now."
