I am a judge in the Tang Dynasty - #98 - Chapter 98
After returning to Guanyi, Lin Xiu just lay down not long ago.
The sky became brighter.
When he came out of the room, he only saw Princess Changle and three girls, Lin Rongrong and Zhong Li.
They were smiling outside the door, talking to each other.
When she saw Lin Xiu, Princess Changle turned away shyly.
The cheeks looked slightly rosy.
Lin Xiu felt strange in his heart, frowned and said:”It’s been a mysterious day, I really don’t know what you guys are talking about in private!”
“Hee hee, how can we girls let you know when we talk! Princess Changle replied playfully.
Lin Xiu shook his head and walked downstairs with a wry smile on his face.
In the lobby of Guanyi, Zhong Kui, Zhao Sheng, Li Si, and the three squads of government officials were all sitting there. Here, each person was eating a bowl of something unknown.
When he saw Lin Xiu coming, Zhong Kui quickly stood up.
“Sir, get up, hurry up, the breakfast here is good, a simple bite will give you strength for the journey!”Zhong Kui smiled and moved a low stool over.
After Lin Xiu sat down, a messenger from the hotel also brought a bowl of the soup and water. He stirred it with a spoon and found that it was just a bowl. Noodle soup.
After the noodles came out, there was nothing.
However, after tossing it for half a night last night, Lin Xiu felt really hungry and took a small sip. Apart from being slightly salty, it tasted pretty good..
So he started drinking heavily.
At this moment, there were two people in different places in Qingshui County, walking around and rubbing their hands, one of them looking anxious. It was Song Yan, the magistrate of Qingshui County.
The other person was, of course, Zhao Zhuang, who had been severely rejected by Lin Xiu.
Both of them had their own agendas. To put it bluntly, they both wanted to get close to Lin Xiu. As long as Lin Xiu can be their backer, they will be able to walk sideways in Chang’an City, not to mention Qingshui County.
But they also know that this Lin Xiu is a tough nut to crack, if he doesn’t like gold and silver.
They don’t like to be close to women. They don’t dare to get close to Lin Xiu.
Especially this Zhao Zhuang feels regretful. Why did Lin Xiu have to cancel their youngest son’s marriage to Lin Rongrong in the first place?
If Chang’an became such a big official, wouldn’t they also be able to take advantage of it?
“Oops, I’m so worried!”Zhao Zhuang was in the house, raising his head and shouting.
At this moment, a man walked not far away. He was thin, his face was sallow, and he looked malnourished. If these were removed, he could be regarded as a gentle, elegant and rich man.
Young Master.
This person is Zhao Zhuang’s youngest son, named Zhao Wenzhao.
“Dad, what’s wrong with you? Why are you sighing here? Are you still worried about your relationship with Lin Xiu? Let me tell you, others take other people’s Yangguan Road, we take our single-plank bridge, why bother forcing ourselves!”
“Damn it, what are you talking about? Let them go their own way. If you had married Lin Rongrong, how could you be so passive now? Zhao Zhuang said angrily.
Zhao Wenzhao smiled and shook his head:”Isn’t it your idea that Rongrong and I broke off our engagement?” You keep saying that Lin Xiu’s parents are gone, and the Lin family owes a lot of foreign debts. After all are paid off, there will be no property left. If you don’t belong to the same family as them, wouldn’t it make people laugh if word spread about it?”
Just when these words were spoken,
Zhao Zhuang came forward with an angry look.
He raised his hand and slapped Zhao Wenzhao hard on the face.
“Nie Zhuang, how could we, Zhaozhuang, give birth to such a disgraceful thing like you? You spend all your time living and drinking outside, you are uneducated and you don’t have any skills. It doesn’t matter if you don’t take over my Zhao family’s business. How dare you speak so shamelessly? You, you take it seriously. I am so angry!” Zhao Zhuang said viciously.
After Zhao Wenzhao was beaten, he covered his face with one hand and said with red eyes:”Okay, you actually hit me? Okay, okay, in this family, I won’t come back. Don’t you want to find a son who can live up to your expectations? Then go ahead and find Lin Xiu to be your son!”
After saying this, Zhao Wenzhao turned around and walked out of the house without even looking back.
Zhao Zhuang’s face turned purple, and after a while, he recovered slightly.
He pressed his chest with one hand and gritted his teeth and said:”Nie Zhan, If you dare, don’t come back in this life, otherwise I will beat you once I see you!”
After saying this, Zhao Zhuang spurted out a mouthful of blood.
He turned over and fell to the ground, unconscious…
After Lin Xiu and Zhong Kui finished breakfast, they were about to leave for Jinghe Town.
There are still things waiting for him there. Go and deal with it.
There is no way to delay for too long.
Before leaving, the county magistrate Song Yan, who had been hesitating in the Yamen, hurriedly arrived.
“.Oh, Lord Marquis, Lord Marquis is about to leave so soon, and he has not yet allowed me to serve as a lowly official and fulfill my duty as a landlord. How ashamed I feel in my heart! Song Yan said with an apologetic smile on his face.
Lin Xiu shook his head:”I am from Qingshui County. I probably know this place better than Lord Song. How can I get the friendship of a landlord?” I left Chang’an this time because of His Majesty’s order to deal with a matter. I cannot stay here any longer. I accept Lord Song’s wishes!” Although Lin Xiu couldn’t stand
Song Yan’s officialdom. However, the so-called prime minister was able to support a boat, so Song Yan didn’t offend him. Lin Xiu didn’t bother to trouble him. Song Yan was embarrassed. He smiled and then remembered that Lin Xiu was from Qingshui County, wasn’t he?
(Money earned) I act like a bullshit landlord.
It’s all because I was in a panic and said the wrong thing.
This is called flattering a horse’s hooves and being kicked to death. It’s a pretty good drag.
“Yes, yes, the Marquis has many things to do, so I don’t dare to stay longer, but when the Marquis comes back, I must stay in Qingshui County for a few more days!”Song Yan said with a smile.
Lin Xiu nodded and didn’t say much.
“Sir, everything is ready and you are ready to go!”Zhao Sheng walked over and reported back.
Lin Xiu smiled and nodded:”In that case, let’s set off!”
“yes!”
After Zhao Sheng obeyed the order, three groups of government officials followed the carriage and headed straight for the city gate.
Song Yan and the people from Qingshui County also sent each other several miles outside the city.
But Lin Xiu didn’t pay attention. Arrive.
Among the people who were originally sent to each other, there is one person who should not be missing… the merchant Zhao Zhuang.
