Sister Li Qiusui went out and bumped into a horse carrying a hoe heading home.
"...It's autumn and summer crops! The sun is shining, what are you doing here?" Ma Wanzi was the first to say hello.
"Uncle Ma." After the two sisters called out, Xia He said with a smile, "We have a guest at home. My father and mother are not at home, and we can't spare our hands. Let's go find someone."
"Then go quickly and don't keep the guests waiting. Your parents should be at the other end of the orchard. I just came over from your house. I didn't see anyone."
Arima Wandering reminded the sisters that they went straight to the top of the mountain. When they found Li Sanzhu and his wife, brothers Li Changshan and Li Changlei were also here.
Li Qiusui had some guesses about the person coming, so he walked up to his parents and said: "...I heard that the newly appointed county magistrate's surname is Jiang. When he came to our house, Xiaobao could tell at a glance that he was an official. I didn't see the airs of being an official, so I handed over a greeting card and asked to see my father by name."
Li Qiu Sui said that she had ruled out the bad intentions first and let her father know, "My fourth uncle was tricked into gambling by the Zhao family in the county. Before County Magistrate Qiao left, I asked Zhao Da to file a complaint with the county government. ”
This was the first time that Li Sanzhu knew that something had happened to the Zhao family in the county town, and there were also matters involving his own family here.
"Zhao Da went to the county government to file a complaint?"
Zhao Da was also at the orchard. When he heard Li Sanzhu calling his name, he came over immediately.
Without waiting for Zhao Da to defend himself, Li Qiu Sui directly ignored the surprise on Li Sanzhu's face, "What the Zhao family did was not human affairs. They took over farmland, broke people's legs, and robbed women. The lonely old man couldn't find his granddaughter, and his eyes were filled with tears. Blind. If my father hadn't made a quick decision and spent more than five hundred taels to settle the matter regarding our fourth uncle, the people in Changshun are so easy to get rid of. How could we have solved the problem? If we keep such people, we will be in Linshan It’s a big disaster for the county. I heard that many bones were found in the well in the backyard of Zhao’s house..."
Guessing the identity of the visitor, Zhao Da went to the county government to complain. Even if he frightened Li Sixhu, he would most likely be unable to hide it.
Li Qiu Sui spoke quickly and without giving Li Sanzhu a chance to speak, he listed the evil deeds of the Zhao family in detail.
She reported it before her father could react. When people in the province mentioned this matter, Li Sanzhu didn't know anything about it, and the matter would be serious.
Li Sanzhu didn't know that Li Qiu Sui was so petty. When he mentioned that the newly appointed county magistrate might be visiting, he left brother Li Changshan on the mountain and hurried back with the shovel. Li Qiu Sui's words went too far. I didn't have time to worry about it.
Li Qiu Sui motioned to Zhao Da to go home with her. She was a little girl. Li San wished that the other party did not have any women with her, so she was not suitable to stay. Zhao Da, the housekeeper, stayed by to help with the guests. What happened? Zhao Da After a long fight, she found out in the blink of an eye.
There are guests at home. Mrs. Liu is the head of the house and she wants to go back and have a look. The fruits here on the mountain are about to mature. We have enough manpower and there is no need for the help of sisters Li Qiusui. There is a family of four, followed by a man. Zhao Da, go back.
Ms. Liu was walking on the other side of Li Sanzhu and frowned when she heard Li Qiu Sui speak, "I'm just telling you why Zhao Da was running to the county town in those days. You also said that you bought a house in the county town. Your fourth uncle also stayed in the county town for a long time. Yes, it turns out it's all about the Zhao family. I said you girl is getting more and more courageous. You should discuss such a big matter with your father and me. How can you make your own decision? "
Li Qiusui laughed sarcastically, "You and my father were busy with my brother and my sister's marriage, and you even said that we would discuss it with you. Over there, Mr. Qiao arrested all the Zhao family members. Wasn't this caught off guard? Before we had time!"
Zhao Da walked behind a family of four, his head lowered. If he hadn't been involved in the whole thing, he would have believed the girl's words.
But what's going on? No one knows better than him!
If you want to say that the girl lied, there is not a single lie she said, but what she didn't say is the key. As long as it wasn't someone from Changshun who confronted him, or maybe he was loose-spoken, no one else would have thought that a teenage girl could do such a big thing.
Are you just saying that the people from Changshun dare to confront you face to face? There is also the issue of whether he is tight-lipped...
So these things that the girl didn't say can be hidden from the public.
Li Qiusui considered everything, but unexpectedly he met a group of people led by Xiaobao halfway.
Xiaobao trotted over and called Mr. Li Sanzhu, "Come on, no one needs to introduce us, we already know each other's identities."
Before the two parties came closer, the other party raised his hands and shouted "Master Li" loudly.
Li Sanzhu stepped forward to meet him and cupped his hands, and the two sides began to chat.
There were a group of seven or eight people on the other side. The leader was wearing a long green gown. He had an extremely young appearance and a calm and elegant manner. He was at most in his twenties, and his surname was Jiang...
Li Qiusui was even more certain that this person was the new county magistrate of Linshan County. He heard that the magistrate was extremely young and was one of the second-ranked Jinshi this year. He directly gave up the selection of Shujishi and chose to be an official.
Such people either come from a big family and avoid having high-ranking officials in the capital. Many eyes are staring at them, so it is difficult for them to have a chance to perform. It was different when he got to the place. The mountains were high and the emperor was far away. Not only was he at ease, it was like being plated with gold. From then on, his official career was prosperous.
Another possibility is that he was born in a poor family and it is difficult to make a difference in a capital city where noble people are everywhere. At the local level, as long as you have real talent and practical knowledge, you will be an official in the same place and make great achievements, and your promotion will be just around the corner, just like Mr. Qiao, the previous magistrate of Linshan County who has been promoted and left.
Behind this man were two or three teenagers, all dressed as scholars. They watched Li Sanzhu exchanging greetings with the leader without saying a word.
The remaining people were probably subordinates or servants of this group of people.
Li Qiu Sui couldn't keep staring at people even if he started to look at them.
Mrs. Liu also knew from the conversation between the two parties that the leader was the county magistrate they suspected, so she led her two daughters to present him with gifts.
Magistrate Jiang was very polite and approachable, and called Mrs. Liu Mrs. Li. He also explained that he was in a hurry when he came to Shanshan County for the first time, and it would take a while for the female family members to arrive. Then he would send a message and invite Mrs. Liu to his home.
Why is this County Magistrate Jiang so polite to his parents? It seems that the plan is very big!
Li Qiu Sui frowned, raised his eyes towards the other person, and met the eyes of the young man standing behind him.
The two of them stared at each other for three to five breaths. Seeing that they were quarreling with her, Li Qiu Sui smiled inwardly, suddenly smiled shyly and looked away first.
The other party snorted with his nostrils raised to the sky, obviously very proud, and silently raised his eyebrows at the two people around him. Unfortunately, the two of them pretended not to see it, so no one paid any attention to him.
As soon as this episode was over, Li Sanzhu motioned to the Liu family and his wife to go home first, while he also led others to the orchard.
Going to the orchard? Still so impatient...
Li Qiu Sui was surprised. It was obviously not for the Zhao family that she came to her door. It was a shame that she felt guilty for wasting so much words before. However, even if Zhao Da went to file a complaint in advance, he would be able to hide it from others sooner or later. Even if Li Sizhu didn't know about it, it wouldn't be considered a secret in the county town. His family lived in Lijiacun, which was far away from the county town. Otherwise, it would have been a long time ago. It's time to know.
She motioned for Zhao Da to follow her, and went home with Xia He, the Liu family.
…
The sky is dark, Li Changan will take a rest tomorrow, and will be back from the county today.
When Li Sanzhu and Master Li were nowhere to be seen, Mrs. Liu murmured to her third sister and brother, "What's going on with that county magistrate? Why don't you want to drink water and eat for most of the day? The same goes for your father. Do you want to leave someone to eat?" Why don't you send someone back to tell me? This person is becoming more and more unreliable!"
Li Qiusui took one look at the sky and said disapprovingly: "I guess it's time to go back soon! Hongying has prepared a lot of food in the kitchen on the left and right. If you want to eat, just eat whatever you want. If you don't like it, leave quickly..."
Before the words were spoken, Li Sanzhu led the people back. As soon as he came back, he shouted that Zhou Ping's family would set up a table of food in the outer courtyard.
It looks like we have to keep people at home for dinner.
Ms. Liu hurriedly went to take a look outside. Li Changan asked the two sisters to eat first and followed them to the outer courtyard.
