Chapter 162 Relatives of the county magistrate
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling's hearts sank slightly after hearing this.
They didn't actually pay attention to Yin County Magistrate, who is the parent official of Gaolian County, but to them, the two sides are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles.
For example, in modern times, if you focus on making money in your career, you generally don’t care about the county magistrate or the city chief.
Therefore, neither of them knew much about County Magistrate Yin, let alone his brother-in-law.
But this is definitely not a good word.
Zhao Liya looked earnestly: "Madam, what is going on here, can you please tell us a few more words? We are really at a loss. If we accidentally do something wrong and anger the nobleman, wouldn't it be Please be kind to Madam. We will never forget Madam's kindness."
Hu Ling has a sore nose.
His adopted sister used to be the daughter of Shang Shufu's concubine, a real lady from a famous family and a noble daughter, but now she has to plead in front of Mrs. Gongcao in a small county town. Even the county magistrate's brother-in-law can do it badly.
"This—" Madam Gongcao hesitated.
She didn't want to say anything at first, but Zhao Liya begged hard, and praised her highly while begging—Yu Gongcao's daughter-in-law was just like this, and she was soft-hearted, so she sighed and said.
"Forget it, it's not something you can't say. You can find out if you go to other places. It's just that I don't like to talk about people behind their backs. Just pretend that you didn't hear it. Our parent officer is a Fortunately, that brother-in-law is too greedy, and wants to get involved in anything that makes money. Which one of the most profitable businesses in our county does not have his share? I heard that your sugarcane farm made a lot of money last year. Quite a lot, I bought so many lands this year, and if I want to expand it to such a large scale, why don’t I just call it Mr. Mao—oh, that’s the magistrate of Yin’s brother-in-law, Mao Dexing, so I’m a little bit interested? But it’s not necessarily true, maybe it is Did our master hear it wrong? In short, let me tell you this, you just know it in your heart!"
Zhao Liya nodded: "So that's the case! If that son really spoke, how much would he want? Please tell me kindly, Madam, after all, we really don't know anything about this matter. After inquiring, I might as well tell our boss in advance, so that the boss can make preparations."
Mrs. Yu Gongcao said everything, and when she opened the chatter box, she heard Zhao Liya's question and said everything about Mao Dexing without thinking.
Zhao Liya was a little speechless, this really has a big appetite.
At first, she thought that if Mao Dexing only wanted some benefits, then she would give it to him, and it should be considered as an offering.
After all, he is the brother-in-law of his parents and officials, so it is not surprising that the local authorities charge a protection fee.
However, this brother-in-law's appetite is really unbearable.
The news revealed from Mrs. Yu Gongcao's words is not only that, this Mr. Mao is not only greedy, but also a bullying character. The Zhao family is from Yancun, and their identities are exiles. Even if Hu Ling came forward to fight against everything, and there was a "mysterious big boss" backed by a non-existent son, this young man might not buy it.
And if he insists on asking who the big boss behind it is, it will be another matter.
Fortunately, now that Mrs. Yu Gongcao has known this in advance, I don’t need to panic anymore, I just go back and think of a solution slowly.
Zhao Liya's confidence didn't come for nothing. Brother Zhou and General Zhong are her backing, but she doesn't want to trouble them unless she has to.
But this is a safe and secure way out, which can protect her from the bottom line.
There are also Zaihu Village and Bajiaozhai. These two villages are large villages with a combined population of more than 25,000. They are definitely a force that cannot be ignored.
Let's not talk about Mr. Mao, even the county magistrate has to be a little bit afraid.
Even if his family is an exile, as long as he doesn't break the law again, what can he do?
Not long after they left, Mrs. Yu Gongcao regretted it for no reason. She regretted that she shouldn't be in charge for a while, and some of them didn't tell them so much.
If it gets out and Mao Dexing knows that he is talking too much, what will he do!
When Yu Gongcao's daughter-in-law was feeling sorry for herself and regretting a lot, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling went back and forth, bringing two boxes of high-quality snacks, two horses of beautiful silks and satins with new designs, and a red envelope.
"A little kindness, madam, please don't dislike it. Madam is kind enough to tell us this, let us know what is in our hearts, and I am really grateful. Don't worry, ma'am, we will never mention a word of madam to the outside world. .”
Mrs. Yu Gongcao was overjoyed at this moment, and her hanging heart could be regarded as letting go all at once.
She couldn't help holding Zhao Liya's hand and said with a smile: "Oh, you are—really, you are too polite! You have prepared early, so don't be head-on."
"Well, thank you ma'am!"
Watching Zhao Liya and Hu Ling leave, Mrs. Yu Gongcao was all smiles and relaxed, walking like a float.
The Zhao family is very knowledgeable, how can people who complain are willing to help them?
Really, to be honest, she is really looking forward to them!
Madam Yu Gongcao sighed softly, smiled and walked briskly to open the red seal, hey, ten taels of silver!
I'm even happier.
On the other side, Hu Ling comforted Zhao Liya: "Aya, don't worry, there are Brother Zhou and General Zhong!"
"Well," Zhao Liya added with a smile: "There are also Zaihu Village and Bajiao Village. We know it in our hearts, so naturally we are not afraid."
"It's good if you think so!"
Hu Ling feels a lot more at ease.
Back home, the two didn't mention this matter to anyone. There is no need to say it out to make everyone worry, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain.
Zhao Liya reckoned that even if the county magistrate's brother-in-law really had such thoughts, he wouldn't do anything right now.
This kind of people like to pick ready-made peaches.
Now the sugar cane has just been planted!
Even if that person is really eyeing him, he probably won't make any moves until the sugar cane can be harvested.
At least not for a few months.
The affairs here are basically arranged properly. Zhao Liya, Hu Ling, Qu Yutao and the others went to the sugarcane garden, potatoes, and sweet potato fields to look around. After explaining that the sweet potato vines can start pinching and transplanting, let Hu Ling and Qu Yutao is in charge of finding someone to do it, and she plans to go to the garrison camp in Suixi County.
If you don’t go there, General Zhong will probably send someone to remind you.
The excuse is still the same, go to the mountains to collect herbs and hunt, well, Zhao Liya went with Yu Xiaofang, Lin Mo, and Shu Yan.
On the reviewer’s family and the Lu family’s quarrel, although they suppressed it, it’s hard to guarantee that they will do something again this time, as a last resort, this is what they have to do.
