Yan Haitang covered her face and yelled, "Who is this old woman who dares to hit me? Don't you know whose house this is?"
He immediately ordered his maid: "Min'er, fan it back for me!"
Min'er stepped forward and just as she raised her hand, she was slapped back by Tong's mother.
With a loud bang, he was knocked dizzy.
Caiyu took the opportunity to kick him again.
Min'er immediately fell to the ground and looked at Fu Minghe with aggrieved eyes.
Seeing this situation, Yan Funing was stunned.
"Nonsense!" Fu Er stomped his cane and glared at Fu Zhengqing. "Why did you rush to find us?"
Seeing that his son was only wearing his undershirt, he looked at Fu Ciyi's official robe, which was purple.
Fu Er was confused, frowned, and pointed his crutch at Fu Ciyi.
"You unfilial son, you elders come over and you don't show courtesy, but you sit there? Don't think that just because you're an official in Beijing, you can come back to my Fu family smoothly, you're dreaming!"
Lu Wenfeng stood up and introduced: "The person the Second Old Master is pointing at is the imperial envoy sent by the court. Your son Fu Zhengqing has been demoted to a commoner for accepting and giving bribes."
"It can be said that, except for Fu Minghe who has the status of a scholar, the rest of the second branch of the Fu family are all white-clad."
"Therefore, you should all bow when you see Master Fu."
As he said this, he bowed to Fu Ciyi.
Everyone in the second branch of the Fu family was shocked.
Fu Minghe couldn't believe it: "Impossible! Even if he won the top prize, how could he climb so fast?"
"Master Fu has made many contributions. He now heads the Imperial Academy and concurrently serves as the head of the cabinet." Lu Wenfeng snorted coldly, "How could you, the people who sell official positions and titles, even dream of such a speed?"
Everyone in the second house looked at each other in bewilderment.
Fu Ciyi is now a powerful official, and he is also serving as an imperial envoy under the emperor's order. No wonder he has the power to dismiss and appoint county officials.
At this time, the county lieutenant also stood up and said: "What County Magistrate Lu said is very true. Mr. Fu is young and promising. He is a role model for our generation."
Fu Zhengqing cursed: "Bah, you fence-sitter!"
"This county lieutenant is a man of insight and understanding." The lieutenant snorted, "Fu Zhengqing, you accepted money from a wealthy family, and I haven't explained it in detail yet."
Fu Minghe frowned and walked up to Fu Zhengqing. "Dad, you lost your official position. Did Lu Wenfeng take it?"
Ever since Lu Wenfeng was demoted to Ling County, he woke up laughing from his dreams almost every day.
It was once said that Lu Wenfeng followed the wrong person, Fu Ciyi, and that being demoted was Lu's own fault.
I didn't expect that my family would be attacked by someone who cut off their financial resources.
Fu Zhengqing nodded.
The current situation was beyond his expectations.
Just now he was scolding Lu Wenfeng, but now this kid named Lu has become the chief official of Ling County.
Seeing that both the county magistrate and the county lieutenant had spoken, Liu Cai, who had been promoted by Lord Fu, felt that he should say something even though he had no experience in officialdom.
Then he stood up and said, "Fu Zhengqing is a corrupt person. In my opinion, his demolition is a good choice."
"How can it be your turn to speak?" Fu Er shouted angrily.
Lu Wenfeng laughed: "The Qingshan Town Chief is now the Ling County Magistrate. Why doesn't he have a say?"
The three men in the second room, old, middle-aged and young, looked pale and pale.
Fu Er's wife and Fu Zhengqing's wife stood aside, looking worried.
Only Yan Haitang felt extremely uncomfortable.
If the elders had not plotted to use someone else's trick, it would have been her who married Fu Ciyi, and it would naturally be her who is sitting next to him now.
What does that little bitch Yan Funing have to do with it?
Fu Ciyi straightened his official robe and spoke slowly, "Let's not talk about government affairs at the moment, let's talk about personal matters."
He slowly took out his grandfather's will, slowly unfolded it, and spread it on the table.
"This house is divided into two courtyards, the East and the West. My grandfather's will clearly states that only the West Courtyard and the properties under its name belong to the second wife, while the East Courtyard and all the properties under my grandfather's name belong to Fu Wanniang and her son and her mother."
As he spoke, he picked up the will and pointed to the seal on it.
"This is the official seal of the county government. It shows that after my father wrote his will, he specially had it notarized by the county government."
"Fu Er, Fu Zhengqing, you are trying to embezzle the money. I reserve the right to pursue legal action."
"Now that the East Garden is in ruins, the West Garden is ordered to contribute funds to restore it to its original state as soon as possible."
Having said that, Fu Ciyi stood up.
If the emperor had not wanted to express his attitude, he would have intended to keep Fu Zhengqing's family and get rid of them all after clarifying some of the doubts in his mind.
Now he really has no intention of wasting time on trivial matters such as his family property. He just hopes to return to Beijing as soon as possible.
Lu Wenfeng bowed and said, "Since the will was stamped by the county government, and the one who attempted to embezzle the property was the former county magistrate, then the county government is obliged to order the restoration of Dongyuan to its original state."
Fu Ciyi nodded: "Thank you very much, Lord Lu."
Lu Wenfeng said, "Don't bother. I will do my best to inventory and return the old master's assets to their propertied positions."
Fu Ciyi pondered for a moment and said, "My grandfather's property has been occupied by the second branch for several years. After the profits are counted, if there is a shortfall, please ask the county government to order Xiyuan to make up for it."
Lu Wenfeng nodded again: "If there is a shortage, it should be made up according to the law."
Fu Ciyi added calmly, "No matter how much the profit is, 50% will be donated to the county government. I hope the county government will use this money to help the poor people in Ling County."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wenfeng immediately led the county magistrate and the county lieutenant in a bow, saying, "The officials of Ling County express their gratitude to Master Fu on behalf of the people!"
The people from the second branch of the Fu family looked ashen.
They spent the money as they should have and hid the money as they should have.
Now if I were to pay it back, it would be like cutting flesh from my heart.
It has to be said that Fu Ciyi was a very cunning person. Once he donated 50% of the profits, he donated it to the county government and the people.
The county government would certainly keep an eye on their second branch, and so would the common people.
At that time, not only would they have to pay out all their money, but if they failed to do so, or paid out too little, it would be equivalent to pushing their second branch to the opposite side of the entire Ling County.
This move is extremely treacherous!
Hearing this, Yan Funing stood up and looked at Fu Ciyi with a smile.
The way he handled this time could, on the one hand, disgust the second branch of the Fu family to the greatest extent, and on the other hand, do good things for the Ling County government and the people.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
high!
It’s really high!
Fu Ciyi extended his hand toward her.
Yan Funing obediently placed her hand in his palm.
The two of them took the lead and walked forward.
Seeing how affectionate they were, Yan Haitang became furious and wanted to trip Yan Funing.
Then he motioned Min'er to stretch out her legs.
Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing did not see the conspiracy between master and servant, but Yan Bojian did.
He walked over quickly, stopped in front of his sister, and glared at Min'er: "Want to trip my sister?"
Min Er shook her head: "No, I didn't."
Seeing the handsome young man addressing Xiao Hoof as "sister," Yan Haitang's intention to trip Yan Funing was thwarted. She immediately sneered, "Yan Funing, I thought you were capable, but it turns out you're just good at seducing people. Having a handsome husband isn't enough, you're actually hooking up with other handsome men."
Although the second branch of the Fu family suffered a setback at this moment, she actually didn't feel much.
After all, the Yan family is still the richest family in Ling County.
Fu Minghe was down and out, and he could only follow her with all his heart. The Yan family had a lot of money, so it was still feasible for them to donate an official position for Fu Minghe.
At this moment, as long as she could make Yan Funing angry, she would win.
Yan Funing chuckled and turned to look at Yan Bojian: "Third brother, listen to this."
