Judging from the indignation with which Xiao Dalang just spoke about the previous magistrate's corruption, it seems that he still has some sympathy for the people's plight.
This doesn't mean there's no hope at all.
If used well, it can do something for the people.
Therefore, Xiao Hanzheng was not going to fulfill his scumbag father's wish and use Xiao Dalang as a scapegoat.
But he still had to point it out to let Xiao Dalang know his uncle's plan and his bottom line.
Of course, if Xiao Dalang dares to do something that harms the people, then killing the chicken to scare the monkeys is still possible.
Now we are just giving Xiao Dalang a chance to see if he will mend his ways.
Shi Qingluo also said: "Don't disbelieve me, you reported the county magistrate, but no one knows that it was General Xiao's people who did it."
"I would think that you were secretly investigating the county magistrate and wanted to bring him down on purpose."
"When the new county magistrate arrives, will he not be on guard against you?"
"You are taking the lead in showing off your power. If they don't target you, who will they target?"
"Your second uncle has already taken all of this into account. When the time comes, it will be your turn to go to jail. It has nothing to do with him, and you can't cause any trouble to him."
"When we ask him for help, he can say that he will not condone his nephew's evil deeds. People who don't know him will think that he is selfless and it can also help him gain a good reputation in the Northern Frontier."
"So not only will you be made an example of by the new county magistrate, but you will also be a stepping stone for your uncle to build a good reputation."
Her words were not fabricated or meant to intimidate Xiao Dalang. According to her scumbag father's analysis, this was definitely the way to deal with Xiao Dalang and gain a good reputation, killing two birds with one stone.
After hearing what Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo said, Xiao Dalang shuddered again.
So his second uncle was waiting here? He wondered why the other party was so kind this time, and actually asked someone to help him find evidence against the county magistrate.
After the county magistrate was caught, grandma asked my second uncle to help him take the position of county magistrate.
My second uncle kept making excuses, and finally said that a new county magistrate had suddenly been sent from the capital, and he had no choice.
So actually I just wanted to harm him.
His hands were indeed not clean before. Although he did not exploit the common people, he took advantage of his position to seize a lot of land and bought it at low prices.
He also accepted a house given by a wealthy businessman.
And what Xiao Hanzheng and the others said was indeed right. He had been planning to show his power to the new county magistrate.
If this was really a show of force, and the other party was wary of him and held a grudge against him, and collected all this evidence against him, and then used his identity and background to make use of his connections, then he, a small county magistrate, would never be their opponent.
The more I thought about it, the scarier it seemed. I took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from my forehead.
His second uncle is really a wicked man!
Xiao Hanzheng glanced at him and said, "I'll give back all the land I bought at a low price and the houses others gave me. If it happens again, I will be rude."
He had always had people keeping an eye on Xiao Dalang, so he knew what he had done.
Xiao Dalang's eyes widened. He obviously didn't expect that Xiao Hanzheng knew this on his first day.
He swallowed, "I, I understand."
His life was more important, so he had no choice but to return it with great pain.
Xiao Hanzheng then said: "We are going to stay at the inn. You can come to me anytime if you have any problems."
Xiao Dalang nodded, "Okay."
He smiled flatteringly and said, "By the way, how about I take you there?"
Second Uncle is so terrible that he could accidentally kill them without them knowing it.
Therefore, he should just follow the footsteps of his cousin Xiao Hanzheng. At least, although his cousin and his wife are full of evil intentions, they are not that sinister and cruel.
What's more, his illness has not yet been cured and he still has to rely on his cousin for further treatment.
Xiao Hanzheng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then you lead the way."
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 his pocket.
So he doesn't want to put himself in a difficult position.
Liang Youxiao agreed with this point, "Yes, find the inn with the best conditions."
Xiao Dalang rolled his eyes in his heart. These people are really 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, Xi Rui and his friends felt like crying again as they saw that it was a bit shabby and much worse than the best inn in Nanxi County.
“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 place, did you?"
Xiao Dalang: “…” This playboy really likes to put the blame on others. How shameless.
"How is that possible? I have long forgotten the grudge between you and me."
He said confidently: "This is really 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 broken!"
Xiao Dalang said speechlessly: "This place is already poor, and there are very few merchants coming and going. How good do you think it can be?"
Xi Rui put his hand on Liang Youxiao's shoulder, looking hopeless, "Lao Liang, I want to go home."
Liang Youxiao slapped his hand away in anger, "Do you think I don't want to?"
But the old man was ruthless this time, they couldn't go back...
Both of them looked worried.
Although Xi Rong also disliked the poor conditions here, she endured it when she thought that the environment for forming a women's army in the future would be much more difficult.
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Okay, this place is better than where we live when we're on the road, so just make do with it."
"If you want to live well, then create the conditions yourself and settle down first."
After hearing what she said, Xi Rui and Liang Youxiao had no choice but to accept it.
Then Liang Youxiao directly booked the entire inn, and even the servants and maids he brought with him had to stay.
The innkeeper was so happy to see such a large amount of business coming in suddenly that he smiled from ear to ear and immediately took the people to their room.
After Xiao Hanzheng and others settled down, Xiao Dalang also returned to the county town and took his men to look for the things his cousin wanted.
He felt very uncomfortable and planned to go back and 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 taking 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 times, he still doesn't know, otherwise he would definitely 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 dad's people have been keeping an eye on Ge Chunyi, so they must know."
"I deliberately hid it from Ge Chunru. I guess I was afraid that if she knew, she would make a fuss and go pick someone up or something."
Shi Qingluo curled his lips, "Old Xiao, it's time for you to take action."
Xiao Hanzheng laughed out loud, "My wife really understands me. Ge Chunru will definitely know the news within three days."
He has already sent a message to the person stationed in the general's mansion.
