Xiao Dalang talked about the corruption of the former county magistrate with righteous indignation. It can be seen that he still has some sympathy for the people’s suffering.
This shows that he was not completely hopeless.
If he uses him well, he can do something for the people.
Xiao Hanzheng was not going to fulfill his Scumbag Father’s wish and use Xiao Dalang as a scapegoat.
But he still has to point it out to Xiao Dalang to explain his uncle’s calculations and his bottom line.
Of course, if Xiao Dalang dares to do something that bullies the people, then killing the chicken to scare the monkey can still be done.
Now he just gave Xiao Dalang a chance to see if he will reform.
Shi Qingluo also said: “Think about it, you reported the county magistrate, but no one knows that it was General Xiao’s people who did it.”
“They will only think that you are secretly watching the county magistrate to bring him down.”
“Won’t the new county magistrate not be on guard against you when he comes?”
“You are taking the lead in showing off your power. Who will they take you if they don’t take you as a target?”
“Your Second Uncle has already taken all this into account. When the time comes, it will be your turn to go to jail. It has nothing to do with him. You can’t trouble him about it.”
“When the time comes, you go and ask him for help. He can even say righteously that he will not condone his nephew’s evil deeds. People who don’t know him will think he is selfless. You only help him gain a good reputation in the northern border.”
“As a result, you will be killed as a warning to the new county magistrate, and become a stepping stone for your Second Uncle to build a good reputation.”
Her words were not made up or intimidated by Xiao Dalang. According to the analysis of the Scumbag Father’s operation, it was definitely to deal with Xiao Dalang in this way, and also to gain a good reputation, killing two birds with one stone.
After listening to Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo’s words, Xiao Dalang shuddered again.
So, was his second uncle waiting for this?
He said why the other party was so kind this time, and took the initiative to ask someone to help him find evidence against the county magistrate.
After the county magistrate was exposed, his grandma asked his Second Uncle to help him take the position of county magistrate.
His Second Uncle kept shirking and finally said that the capital suddenly sent a new county magistrate, and he had no choice.
So in fact, he just wanted to harm him.
He did have dirty hands before. Although he didn’t bully the people, he took advantage of his position to enclose a lot of land and bought it at a low price.
He also accepted a house given by a wealthy businessman.
Xiao Hanzheng and the others were right. He was originally planning to show his power to the new county magistrate.
If he showed his power, the other party would hate him and collect this evidence about him. Then he would use his identity and background to clean a small county magistrate like him. How could he be his opponent?
The more he thought about it, the more terrible it became. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
His Second Uncle was a ruthless person!
Xiao Hanzheng glanced at him and said: “You return the land you enclosed at a low price and the house given by others. If it happens again, I will be rude.”
He had always had people watching Xiao Dalang, so he knew what the other party had done.
Xiao Dalang’s eyes widened. He didn’t expect Xiao Hanzheng to know this on his first day.
He swallowed and said: “I, I understand.”
His life was at stake, so he had to bear the pain and go back.
Xiao Hanzheng then said: “We’re going to stay at the inn. You can come to me anytime if you have any questions.”
Xiao Dalang nodded: “Okay.”
He smiled flatteringly and said: “By the way, how about I take you there?”
His Second Uncle was too scary. If they were killed by accident, they wouldn’t know how.
So he had better follow in the footsteps of his cousin Xiao Hanzheng. At least, although his cousin and his wife were full of bad intentions, they were not so insidious and cruel.
What’s more, his illness had not been cured yet, and he still had to rely on his cousin for treatment.
Xiao Hanzheng thought for a while and said: “Okay, then you lead the way.”
Xi Rui immediately said: “Take us to the best inn in the county.”
Recently, he received several thousand taels of dividends from Liang Youxiao. Before leaving the capital, his grandmother and mother cried and stuffed a lot of silver notes into him.
So he didn’t want to wrong himself.
Liang Youxiao agreed with this: “Yes, find the best inn.”
Xiao Dalang rolled his eyes in his heart. These people were looking for trouble. Can’t they just stay in the capital?
But he smiled and nodded: “No problem.”
Then he took the group to the best inn in the county.
After arriving at the inn, seeing that it was a bit shabby and much worse than the best inn in Nanxi County, Xi Rui and his friends wanted to cry again.
“Is this the best inn in the county?”
Xi Rui looked at Xiao Dalang suspiciously: “You didn’t want to take revenge on me, so you deliberately brought us to the worst one?”
Xiao Dalang: “……”
This dude liked to blame others. Shameless.
“How is that possible? I have long forgotten the grudges between you and me.”
He said confidently: “This is the best inn in the county. If you don’t believe me, ask your servant to go out and ask around, and you will know.”
Seeing that Xiao Dalang didn’t seem to be lying, Xi Rui sighed: “Why is it so shabby!”
Xiao Dalang said speechlessly: “This place is originally poor, and few merchants are coming and going. How good do you think it can be?”
Xi Rui put his hand on Liang Youxiao’s shoulder with a look of despair: “Old Liang, I want to go home.”
Liang Youxiao slapped his hand down in annoyance: “Do you think I don’t want to?”
But the old man was cruel this time, they couldn’t go back……
The two looked miserable.
Although Xi Rong also disliked the poor environment here, she thought that the environment for forming a women’s army in the future would be much more difficult, so she endured it.
Shi Qingluo smiled and said: “Okay, this place is better than when we were on the road, so just make do with it.”
“If you want to live well, then create the conditions yourself and settle down first.”
Hearing her say this, Xi Rui and Liang Youxiao had no choice but to accept it.
Then Liang Youxiao directly booked the entire inn, and the servants and maids he brought had to stay.
The owner of the inn was so happy that he immediately took the few people to the upper room.
After Xiao Hanzheng and others settled down, Xiao Dalang also returned to the county town and took people to find the things that his cousin wanted.
He was also very upset and planned to go back to talk to his grandparents about his Second Uncle after leaving the government office.
Everyone was exhausted from traveling recently, so they went back to their rooms to rest.
Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo took turns to take a bath, and he wrung her hair dry.
Shi Qingluo was already used to her young husband’s service: “Old Xiao, do you think Ge Chunru knows about her brother?”
Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said: “Nine out of ten, she doesn’t know yet, otherwise she would not be able to resist and go to the mining area in person.”
Shi Qingluo asked again: “Then the Scumbag Father should know, right?”
Xiao Hanzheng nodded: “The Scumbag Father’s people have been keeping an eye on Ge Chunyi, so he must know.”
“It was also deliberately hidden from Ge Chunru, probably because he was afraid that she would make a fuss to pick someone up if she knew.”
Shi Qingluo curled her lips: “Old Xiao, it’s time for you to take action.”
Xiao Hanzheng laughed out loud: “My wife still understands me, Ge Chunru will know the news within 3 days.”
He has sent a message to the people arranged in the general’s mansion.
