Scholar’s Sweetheart - Chapter 427

It’s very hot in June of the lunar calendar.

Song Xintong received a letter from Xie’s family in Ning’an county. The letter said that the magistrate of an’cheng had been investigated for colluding with merchants and fleeing the common people, and now he had been beheaded. The merchants Zhang Jia and Liu Jia, who colluded with him, were severely punished for bullying others and driving up prices.

The local people were shocked. No one thought that a few months ago, a rich family with boundless scenery had been turned into a poor man!

Without money and power, Zhangjia people are nothing. They are held high in their hands the moment before, and rotten eggs are thrown the next moment. What a coincidence! The old lady of Zhang Jia was too old to withstand the stimulation. She became ill and died within a few days.

When song Xintong saw what Xie Jiaxin said, he was shocked. He had doubts in his heart and looked at Lu Yunkai, “does this have anything to do with you?”

Lu Yunkai did not deny it, but nodded: “the magistrate of Ancheng is corrupt and has done harm to the people. I just told his highness about it. As for Zhang Jia, it’s not clean these years. ”

Lu Yunkai has never been a person who repays his mother with good. After Xie came to accept his marriage, he sent someone to Ancheng to investigate. Finally, he found out that his mother had been harmed by Zhang’s husband. Zhang’s husband had planned to take a bowl of medicine directly to solve his mother’s problem, but because the old servant’s son was in debt, he gave birth to other thoughts and gave his mother dumb medicine, She sold her mother to the dentist and told her that the farther she sold, the better.

Because my mother has been pampered since she was a child, the old servant also sold for a good price.

Because she was ordered, she took her mother from the north to the south. Later, when everyone was not prepared, she took the opportunity to run away.

It’s also a coincidence that I met my father on the way to escape. My father was soft hearted and saved my mother.

Because he was afraid that his mother would be taken back by the dentist, he didn’t go back to his hometown. Instead, he took his mother to Taohua village. After that, everyone knew that father and mother lived in Taohua village, teaching for a living.

Song Xintong’s obedience is also angry, and Zhang’s people are not innocent. They deserve it!

Lu Yun said: “I wanted to check things before my mother was born, but for a long time, most of the older generation died, and now I can’t find any evidence.”

Song Xintong said, “now that Zhang Jia has deserved what he has done, we don’t need to do anything, as long as the mother is still good.”

Although song Xintong also thinks revenge is good, he doesn’t want Lu Yunkai to get involved in karma, so he persuades Lu Yunkai to stop here.

Lu Yunkai nodded. He didn’t need to do anything. People who had been harmed by Zhang would not let Zhang go.

“After a while, let’s go to Ancheng to worship our grandmother.” Lu Yun opened his mouth with a smile, which showed that he was very happy because of the failure of Zhang Jia.

Song Xintong knew that his highness intended to send Lu Yun to other places. Although the matter was not settled yet, it was almost ten years old, so he said softly, “wait until it’s cooler. The two little guys are afraid of the heat.”

In August, Lu Yunkai got the letter of appointment and ordered him to arrive at a place called Shahe County under the jurisdiction of Xinzhou as a magistrate before winter.

Xinzhou is located in the southwest frontier, the terrain is bad, the land is barren, is a poor land!

Song Xintong looked at the letter of appointment, some worried looking at Lu Yunkai: “do you offend your highness or the emperor?”

Lu Yunkai is also unable to laugh or cry, “No.”

“Really not?” How does song Xintong feel that only those officials who sit on the cold board will be assigned to such poor places? What’s more, Lu Yun started a six grade compilation to become a seven grade magistrate, which is a big gap.

This place is close to the border, and its position is very important. If you make some achievements, you will be able to ascend to the sky step by step. Moreover, although he was the magistrate of Qipin County, he had great power and was in charge of the government affairs of several counties in Shahe county. But these Lu Yunkai did not tell song Xintong.

“There are three to four months of free time. I want to take my children to Taohua village to worship my father first, and then I’ll go westward to reach Shahe County before winter.”

Song Xintong nodded. After the twin was born, he never went home to worship his parents. Lu’s mother had mentioned it several times before. Because Lu Yun was busy, he was delayed. Now he is free to go back to worship together.

“How about going to Ancheng?” There are also grandmothers in Ancheng. They must have never been back since they believed they were parents.

Lu Yunkai shook his head. “It will take nearly one month to go back to Taohua village. I’m afraid it’s too late to travel westward for two months.”

“That’s the only way.” Song Xintong asked again, “when will you leave? I’ll arrange it now. ”

“In five days.” Lu Yun said, “I’m going to yamen these days.”

“Well, I’ll arrange it.” Song Xintong immediately asked the servant girls to pack their bags. In addition, he asked Zhuang He to go out to prepare a lot of medicinal materials, dry goods, cloth, etc. Xinzhou is located at the border, so there must be a lot of things missing, so the more you prepare, the better.

When they are ready, they will be transported to Shahe county government first, and then welcome Lu Yunkai.

Fortunately, there is no lack of money at home. Otherwise, what can I prepare for my salary of several Liang a month? I have to go to the border to live a miserable life.

In addition, song Xintong asked Chuang he to prepare some special products that he brought back to Taohua village, and planned to take them back to his mother-in-law Qiu. In recent years, Xie Yi has been doing better and better in Song Xintong’s restaurant, and he has already taken the position of a shopkeeper. In addition to his salary, song Xintong has also given them a 10% profit, not to mention a 10% profit of a restaurant. There is also a lot of silver in a year.

Originally, song Xintong planned to give him 20% more, but Xie Yi didn’t want to. He accepted 10% more just because he said so.

Both the Xie family and he family are nostalgic for their old love. They always say that they don’t want to make money. They think that the neighbors should help each other. Moreover, they take advantage of song Xintong’s high salary, so they can’t share it.

Song Xintong loves money and is afraid that the Xie family will be raised by money. But she feels that she can’t forget the kindness of helping for so many years. Even if they don’t want money, she will find a way to make it up from others.

But fortunately, the people she met were very good, and years passed without incident.

Xie Yi and his family are all money rich now. Xie Yi and his wife said they would pick up their mother-in-law Qiu to live in the capital. But mother-in-law Qiu said they were not comfortable in the city, so it’s better to live in the countryside. When they have nothing to do, they can plant some vegetables and land. When Xie Yi and his wife go home, they can transport some food.

The old people feel that they don’t have to spend money on their own things, so they can take more. In fact, the travelling expenses are more than that.
