The Reborn Wife is Farming - Chapter 1171 Qiu County

When Zhang’s mother saw Mrs. Zhao, she immediately cursed. The officials were impatient, and directly pulled a handful of dry grass from the side of the road and stuffed it into her mouth. Even Zhang Erzhu was implicated in her stuffing it.

The two groaned and looked at Mrs. Zhao with hatred, but Mrs. Zhao looked at them with eyes full of hatred.

Xiao Xiong, who originally wanted to put them in the same car, immediately changed his mind, and tied Zhang’s mother and Zhang Erzhu to the back of the car with a rope, saying: “You are so energetic, let’s go for a while.”

Mrs. Zhao climbed into the carriage and hugged her daughter gently, feeling bewildered and looking forward to it. She didn’t know if she could live a good life in the future, but as long as her daughter was still alive, there was still hope.

And the officials also squeezed onto the horses of the guards and started heading towards the county seat.

Because of the horses, the time was shortened by more than half, and they arrived at the county seat before noon.

The county seat of Qiu County is not big, it’s just a lower county, and it’s busy farming season, so there are not many people in the county town at noon, and the group is composed of carriages and horses. caught everyone’s eyes.

The officials were going to the Yamen, so they got off their horses when they entered the gate of the city. The leader of the officials clenched their fists and asked, “Should the two young masters stay in Qiu County, or continue on their way? If you are resting in Qiu County, why not let us lead you there?” Find an inn to stay.”

The key is that the other party is either rich or expensive at first glance. The county magistrate may want to make friends, and it will be easy to find someone when the time comes.

Qi Wenchen glanced at the carriage and said with a smile, “We are afraid that we will stay here for two days, and we will leave after we understand the case.”

The officials felt relieved, and immediately allocated a person to lead them the way. It would be more convenient for them to have the officials lead the way.

Qi Wenchen didn’t refuse, and accepted their offer.

The officials had already tore Zhang’s mother and Zhang Erzhu off the shaft of the car, bid farewell to everyone, and escorted them to the county government.

The chief guard and the official who led the way went first and packed up the entire inn.

“At this time, the farming season is busy. We are lucky. There are no guests staying in the entire inn, so I decided to take care of everything.”

In fact, there are not many rooms under all packages, just one room per person.

Qi Wenchen nodded in response, looked at the cramped Mrs. Zhao, and said with a smile: “Aunt Zhao and Niuniu go back to the house to rest first. Since we have arrived in the county, let’s take a good look around here, and discuss other things slowly.”

Mrs. Zhao nodded in response, and carried her daughter back to the house.

Qi Wenjin let out a breath, looked at the street outside and said excitedly: “Let’s go out and have fun too.”

“Don’t worry, go to eat and rest first, I’m afraid there will be a visitor in the afternoon, if I go with you to play, I’m afraid I will miss the distinguished guest.”

The distinguished guest that Xiaobao mentioned was Huang Jia, the magistrate of Qiu County. After the case happened, he got the resume of the magistrate of Qiu County.

Huang Jia was a Jinshi in the third year of Taikang. He was the first Jinshi after the founding of Enke. The Ministry of Officials let him succeed the county magistrate, and it has been six years since then.

Qi Wenchen read the comments given to him by the official department, he was not astute, but diligent, and the annual evaluation by the official department was either excellent or above average.

He has studied it carefully. He is very talented in farming, and he can complete the task of persuading farmers and mulberry teachers issued by the court every year, but his shortcoming is criminal prosecution. There may not be a single murder case in three years, but there must be many other cases of robbery, and there are also fights over water and land, a county magistrate has a lot to deal with.

However, Huang Jia’s handling of these matters was always insufficient. When he was the county captain, he was in charge of this aspect. Because of his lack of ability, he took the initiative to exchange responsibilities with the county magistrate, and let the county magistrate take care of public security. The county lieutenant was in charge of farming.

At that time, the county magistrate had been promoted to county magistrate. Although he assisted him in handling all kinds of criminal proceedings in the county, the official department didn’t think it was his skill, so points were deducted every year because of this matter, barely getting an excellent grade. Or because Nongsang under his rule did a good job.

However, Xiaobao felt that the officials were too harsh. Huang Jia was not good at criminal procedures, so he could not let him take care of these matters. Besides, he knew how to use people well, and did not delay the case. He could get an excellent evaluation based on this alone.

Huang Jia had been an official for eleven years, not to mention tactful, at least he was not stupefied. Yesterday a guard came to report the crime on a tall horse, and he knew that the people living in that small village were probably not ordinary people.

How can ordinary people use such a horse?

Therefore, after seeing Zhang’s mother and Zhang Erzhu, Huang Jia sent people to jail pending trial, and brought the county captain to chat with the legendary distinguished guest first.

County Captain Qin’s eyes were bright, and when he saw Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong coming down the stairs, he said in a low voice: “My lord, I’m afraid the identities of these two people are not simple.”

He has this aura at such a young age, the older one has a gentle temperament but dignified, the younger one has a hint of power in his eyes, he has suppressed bandits, one can tell at a glance that this person has seen blood on his hands, and his aura is restrained, I am afraid There was a lot of blood on his hands.

At such a young age, if he didn’t have a sense of righteousness in him, he might think that the other party is a gangster.

County Magistrate Huang was not blind either, and naturally sensed that their aura was being suppressed, so he quickly smiled and stepped forward to meet as peers.

Xiao Xiong was a little bored, and didn’t quite understand why the prince’s brother wanted to make friends with them. They had passed through many counties before, but the prince’s brother never met officials.

Qi Wenchen’s purpose is very simple, one is to inquire about the case, and knowing that there are all witnesses and material evidence, Zhang’s mother and Zhang Erzhu’s judgment will come down within one month, and before that, neither of them will be released;

The second is to ask about the employment situation in Qiu County. I don’t know what jobs people like Zhao’s mother and daughter can find in the county. If the other party can’t settle down, they won’t feel at ease when they leave;

The third is to ask about the clan situation in the county.

After seeing Zhao’s mother and daughter, Xiaobao had some thoughts in his heart, but because his thoughts were not mature, he couldn’t explain it clearly, so he could only do an investigation first.

For the first two matters, County Captain Qin can give an accurate answer. Although Qiu County is a lower county, it is quite easy to find a job. The easiest thing is that Mrs. Zhao can do the laundry, although it is much more difficult It’s impossible, but there will always be no problem with food and clothing.

If not, you can also work as a domestic helper in a rich family, and you can live well with the monthly money.

County Captain Qin said that if Mrs. Zhao worked hard, he would be willing to help her find a good job.

Xiaobao hurriedly answered for the other party happily.

As for the last question, Xiaobao naturally didn’t ask directly, but because of the matter of Zhao’s mother and daughter, he lamented the dominance of Zhang’s clan and the embarrassment of the Yamen.

Speaking of this, County Magistrate Huang has not yet spoken, but County Captain Qin and Qi Wenchen have become confidants.

He has always been in charge of the security of the county, and he has to contact all kinds of people, no matter if they are poor, rich or landlords, they all have families, and the intricate human relationships in it can annoy him to death.

Among other things, they wanted to catch a thief. Seeing that he was about to be caught, he ran into an alley, because the same clan, the people of the same clan helped to cover them, even if they knew that he was in the alley, they would not be able to catch him .

Really annoyed.
