On the carriage back, Xiao Han did not ride a horse, but rode with Xiao Ming. The reason was that he was pulled by Chang Qingchi for a few drinks and could not drive drunk.
Because of drinking, Xiao Hanjun blushed slightly and took out what Chang Qingchi had just given him and handed it to Xiao Ming to see.
It is a small long wooden box about the width of a hand.
"This is what my brother-in-law gave me. He said it was an apology from the Zhang family." It was also at the dinner that Xiao Ming learned from Chang Qingchi that Master Gu had settled the case after returning to the Yamen, released the victim, and beat him. After arresting the mother-in-law and the brother-in-law who bought the medicine, they sent people to Zhang's house to get the steward for questioning. Because the evidence was solid, the steward confessed, Master Gu settled the case on the spot, and the steward was exiled to the northwest for mining.
The Zhang family then brought their things to Chang Qingchi, saying that the discipline was lax and the servants had done evil things that ruined Xinglin's reputation. Now they kicked the steward out of the house, and Mr. Gu was convicted again and got what he deserved. punish.
It's just that Xinglin was wronged, so the Zhang family brought something to express their apology.
This matter came in a hurry, so Princess Linlang didn't know that the case was settled so quickly, otherwise she wouldn't have said the words that asked Chang Qingchi to transfer the case to the Criminal Department.
Xiao Ming took it and took a look, yo! What's amazing, it turned out to be a hot spring village at the foot of Taohua Mountain in the southern suburbs. It was a good place. Yi Feng had been eyeing the hot spring village for a long time. Unfortunately, it was occupied by senior officials from aristocratic families. Yi Feng couldn't squeeze in even with money. Unexpectedly Now it's easy.
In this way, the Zhang family has gone through a lot of blood in order to settle the matter. The Zhang family also wanted to suppress the matter as soon as possible, so they gave up a steward and a village. After all, the article in this matter is quite big, and the matter of framed Xinglin is just a small matter. It's just a trivial matter. If we really investigate it further, I don't know what else will be involved.
Xiao Ming also thought about it. Even if Zhang Gui was bitten off, the Zhang family did not dare to make a big statement or catch the perpetrator. Xiao Ming could roughly guess the Liuli girl based on the attitude of Princess Linlang today. His identity is not simple, and there is Zhang Gui's shadow behind this matter, so it is not a matter that a hot spring resort can resolve.
I am afraid that Mr. Zhang will also have to lose his official positions as a bachelor of Zhongji Palace and an assistant minister of the cabinet.
Zhang Gui is so capable of cheating!
The first cheating man in history.
Stop the loss in time, but I don’t know if the Zhang family can escape.
Xiao Ming saw through it without revealing it, and carefully folded the deed paper and handed it to Xiao Han. She said with a smile: "Keep it, we can go to the hot springs this winter."
Xiao Han took it and neatly put it into the wooden box just now, and said happily: "No, soaking in hot springs more is good for your health. I will tidy it up when I have time, and I will move it here during the winter solstice."
The newly acquired Zhuangzi must have been re-arranged in the past, and since it was given by the Chen family, it must be inspected more carefully.
As for the question of whether Zhuangzi will accept it or not? No thought at all.
He's stupid enough not to refuse the benefits that come to him. He's not a bad guy. If someone slaps him on the left cheek, he still gives the other cheek to him. Should he just smile and say, 'It's okay, continue?' '.
It turns out they are no pushovers.
A night of silence.
Mr. Gu concluded the case vigorously and resolutely. The poor housewife came with her two daughters early the next morning to kowtow to Xiao Ming and thank her for her great kindness. Her mother-in-law and uncle were carried back yesterday evening. Not wanting to wait for a moment, he divided their family of four into separate homes, completely ignoring the patients lying on the hospital bed who needed to recuperate, and drove them directly out of the house.
Now they have nothing, and even last night and this morning, the four of them were still wet. But at this time, the woman no longer felt panic in her heart, but felt happy to be out of the clutches of the devil.
From hell to the human world, it is nothing more than this.
Mentally full, she looked energetic.
After Xiao Ming knew that the family had nowhere to go, she hired them to work on her farm and recuperate. Liu Tiesheng was the only one to look after the farm, so he was in urgent need of manpower.
The woman was naturally excited and grateful for this decision. She took her two daughters and knelt down to kowtow to Xiao Ming, thanking her for being a living Bodhisattva.
In her heart, Xiao Ming was the living Bodhisattva of great mercy. He saved the child's father, exempted him from medical expenses, taught her how to face Master Gu in court, and taught her how to use the situation to her advantage.
It is not an exaggeration to say that they are reborn parents.
What's ridiculous is that some people get along day and night, they try their best and give everything they have, but they don't get a word of warmth, they don't get any kind treatment, and they even have to pay the price with their lives.
But for some people, just a word or a look can make people feel warm and hopeful.
At this moment, the woman's grateful heart had no place to rest, and she secretly vowed to repay him with her only loyalty.
Xiao Ming hurriedly helped the people up, and asked the cook in Xinglin to take them down to settle down. In the afternoon, when the medicine hall was not busy, he asked the carriage to take the family to Zhuangzi in the suburbs.
In the days that followed, time took away the unfavorable rumors about Xinglin, and Xinglin was still extremely busy, making money every day.
Xiao Ming was busy with Xinglin affairs, and Xiao Han was busy taking care of the hot spring village. He arranged for people to re-arrange the village and arrange it according to the family's preferences. Just like at home, many fruit trees were transplanted and planted. Traditionally, medicinal herbs were planted under the trees, and a separate piece of land was even opened up to grow vegetables.
Whether it is fruit medicine, medicinal materials or vegetable gardens, they all follow the style of Liujiacun. Xiao Ming has always been self-sufficient.
Xiao Ming's move left Chen Yuanze speechless. A high-end and high-end hot spring villa was turned into a farm vegetable garden.
Fortunately, the hot spring in the back mountain is still there, otherwise it wouldn't be called a hot spring villa, it would have to be called the Xiao Family Courtyard from Liujia Village in Pingcheng.
Of course, Xiao Han did not forget to ask Jiang Sihai to secretly find someone to buy the Bai family's house at the entrance of the alley. After he had arranged the hot spring villa properly, Jiang Sihai had secretly obtained the Bai family's house deed, so Xiao Han brought another Ming Sheng, Hu Tao, Xiao Yu, and Wang Lian were busy at home.
Whenever the dark wind is high at night, there can always be some fine ping -pong pingle sounds under the rockery of the back garden at home, as if the sound of hitting the bell is low, and the family members have long seen it.
Xiao Ming didn't care about them and let them become tired every day. However, as time passed, several flower beds made of granite were added to the house and a small pond was filled in, so Xiao Ming A lot of medicinal materials were transplanted and planted.
In this way, the days passed day by day, seemingly peaceful, but not peaceful.
The wind and clouds were surging above the court, and the undercurrent was surging, just like the weather today, which is volatile and unpredictable. It is cloudy or sunny, and no one can tell whether it is cloudy or sunny.
One day, in the court, Chen Yuan, the second assistant, suddenly impeached Zhang Wencheng, the bachelor of Zhongji Palace, who was also the assistant minister of the cabinet, and Zhang Gui's father, for collecting bribes and leaking the imperial examination questions from the previous year.
