The group of people first saluted to Xiao Hanzheng, "Greetings, sir!"
Xiao Dalang looked at the contents of the document and his hands shook. He was completely angry.
He really didn't expect that even though he had come all the way to the Northern Frontier, Xiao Hanzheng would still come and put pressure on him.
The most important thing is that the methods he had previously thought of on how to deal with the new county magistrate were no longer applicable to Xiao Hanzheng.
Others thought that Xiao Dalang was so excited that his hands were shaking.
It seems that Xiao Dalang has a close relationship with the new county magistrate.
The Dianshi asked with a smile: "Xiao County Magistrate, are you and the Lord old acquaintances?"
Xiao Dalang felt bitter, but he had to smile, "This is my cousin Xiao Hanzheng."
Everyone was stunned when they heard his words, obviously not expecting that the two had such a relationship.
Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, "We used to be cousins, but we have separated and severed our relationship."
This is to tell everyone in advance the true relationship between him and Xiao Dalang.
From now on, no one in the Xiao family can use his name to cause trouble in the county.
When these words came out, everyone was shocked again.
What happened to the separation of family and severance of relations?
Why was Xiao Dalang so excited when he saw Lord Xiao? Xiao Dalang's face froze, and he thought, "Hey, this is all my uncle's fault."
"For the sake of a concubine, he not only divorced his wife and made her his successor, but he also severed ties with my cousins."
"This will also force us to break off relations with our relatives."
He didn't want to have a falling out with his cousin Xiao Hanzheng, as he still needed his help in curing his illness and saving his life.
Moreover, the reason why they had so much money was thanks to Shi Qingluo's advice and Xiao Hanzheng's message.
If he wants to inherit the general's mansion in the future, he will have to rely on Shi Qingluo to continue to give advice.
So let's put all the blame on my second uncle.
Besides, it was the second uncle who did the evil thing, and they were also implicated.
Everyone present knew that Xiao Dalang's uncle was General Xiao, and recently he was heard to have been transferred to Beicheng Prefecture as deputy governor.
But I didn't expect there would be such a thing.
Suddenly I didn't know what to say.
Everyone felt a little contempt for General Xiao. It was really outrageous that he divorced his wife for a concubine.
Shi Lao San smiled and said, "Master Xiao, you must be tired after traveling for such a long time. How about taking a rest first?"
Xiao Dalang finally reacted, "Yes, you guys settle down and rest first."
"Are you going to live with us, or in the county government office?"
He added, "The previous county magistrate went to jail, and now the yard where he lived is vacant."
Naturally, he hoped that Xiao Hanzheng and others would live in the county government office.
It was impossible for Xiao Hanzheng to take his family and live with the old Xiao family. What would be the point of splitting up the family? He replied, "Let's just live in the county government office."
Xiao Dalang breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll take you there."
Then, when he saw Xi Rui and others getting off the carriage, his face froze again.
Why did these second-generation rich people come here? Why was he so miserable that he had to deal with these people?
Shi Qingluo looked at his distressed face and chuckled, "Aren't you supposed to lead the way? Let's go!"
Xiao Dalang then calmed down and said, "Yes, I'll take you there."
He asked the yamen runners to disperse, and he took the other three heads of the county yamen, as well as Shi Lao San and the people from the Xiao family, to send Xiao Hanzheng and others to the yard.
After arriving at the place, Xi Rui looked at the dilapidated yard with a look of despair on his face.
"Is this where the county magistrate lives? Even the place where my servants live is much better than this."
Liang Youxiao also said bitterly: "I think the newly built stable at home is better than this."
Xi Rong also looked disgusted, "How can people live here?"
When they lived in Xiaxixi Village before, they felt it was more comfortable than at home because it was a newly built house by the Xiao family and had everything.
The three people who came with Xiao Dalang widened their eyes when they heard their words.
What are these people? They are so arrogant and bold.
And it’s not even as good as the stable. That’s too exaggerated.
Seeing their confusion, Xiao Dalang could only introduce them in a low voice, "Those two are the legitimate sons of the Duke's Mansion, and the other one is the only female marquis in Daliang."
After hearing this, the three of them immediately understood.
It turns out that they are all powerful people, no wonder they look down on this place.
But why did someone of such status come to their cold and bitter little county?
Xiao Dalang was also curious about this question.
But he didn't dare to ask, after all, he and Xi Rui still had a grudge.
Especially when he heard that Xi Rui had someone chop off Ge Chunyi's legs behind his back because he was angry, he dared not to provoke this evil star even more.
In fact, not to mention Xi Rui and the others, even Shi Qingluo wanted to cry when he saw this dilapidated courtyard.
It's like going back to the time when I first came here.
She asked Xiao Dalang, "Has the previous county magistrate always lived in this courtyard?"
Xiao Dalang nodded, "Yes, his family just moved out last month."
After thinking for a while, he added: "He appears to be very frugal, but his food, clothing, and housing are not good. If you don't know him, you might think he is a good official who is frugal and loves the people."
If his second uncle's people had not investigated and found out that the county magistrate had bought a courtyard in the county town in the name of someone else and hid a lot of gold and silver in it, he would not have thought that the man was so greedy.
I usually don’t even want to eat meat, I don’t know why…
Xiao Hanzheng looked at the dilapidated yard and didn't want to let his young wife and family down.
Moreover, they have lived there for so long that not only is the house shabby on the outside, but it is also dirty on the inside, and they are not used to living there.
He said to Xiao Dalang, "Brother Dalang, please help me find someone to renovate this yard. I will pay for the cost."
Xiao Dalang nodded, "No problem."
When he came here, he also disliked the shabby place, so he hurriedly bought a yard and moved out.
Xiao Hanzheng said to Shi Qingluo again: "Let's stay at the inn recently."
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Okay!"
She didn't know how long she would stay here, at least more than half a year, so she decided to draw a blueprint and have someone make some modifications based on it.
Mainly the toilet and bathroom need to be renovated.
This proposal made Xi Rui and others very satisfied.
Then Xiao Hanzheng asked everyone to leave, leaving only Shi Laosan and Xiao Dalang.
Boss Xiao and his companions slipped away and went straight back to their own courtyard to report to the old man and the old lady that the new county magistrate was Xiao Hanzheng.
Xiao Hanzheng ignored them.
The main room was not very clean, so Xi Rong's maid cleaned it again before the group sat down to talk.
After sitting down, Shi Qingluo asked Xiao Dalang, "Has your second uncle's mistress come to seek revenge on you?"
Xiao Dalang was stunned, "No!"
He asked in confusion: "I didn't provoke her, why are you seeking revenge on me?"
Shi Qingluo said truthfully: "Didn't you send the man's brother to work in the mines? Hasn't he been provoked yet?"
"I heard that she wants to kill you all the time."
She did not lie to Xiao Dalang. Previously, Ge Chunru and Ge Chunyi said that they wanted to kill the people of the Xiao family, and their husband's people heard it.
