Chapter 125: Who is benefiting from whom?
After hearing what her father said, Xia Siya immediately agreed.
"Sister Fuya, I was able to escape thanks to you." Xia Siya said, "Everyone in the village says you're a lucky star!"
Xia Siya said this with a thoughtful expression, and then said: "Now that I think about it, those bad guys at that time either fell down and ate dog shit, or were stung by scorpions..."
"Humph! They must have bullied you, so God punished them and made them suffer misfortune!"
After Xia Siya finished speaking, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case.
If those bad guys hadn't been unlucky, how would they have had a chance to escape?
It must be God punishing the bad guys and protecting Sister Fuya!
It has to be said that Xia Siya's words expressed the thoughts of the Su family.
The whole family thinks that their daughter (sister) is the most blessed.
However, they couldn't say such words in front of the prefect and the county magistrate.
What's more, they have always wanted their daughter (sister) to keep a low profile.
However, things always go against our wishes.
Mrs. Su smiled and said, "Miss Xia, you are too kind. Tang Bao is not a lucky star at all. It's just that the villagers like Tang Bao and say that."
When Old Mrs. Su said this, she looked at her little daughter lovingly.
He added, "She's just a little country girl. The reason those bad guys are in trouble is that they've done too much evil and will eventually perish. Evil will be punished!"
After hearing what Old Lady Su said, Xia Siya wanted to refute, but Governor Xia understood what Old Lady Su meant.
Then he said, "Mrs. Su is absolutely right."
"No, Dad, what happened that day was really evil..." Xia Siya said anxiously.
She clearly remembered that even the bad guys who were searching for them were talking about their evil nature.
"Ya'er!" Magistrate Xia said emphatically, "Did your father teach you the principle that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind? "
Old Mrs. Su, “…”
Haven’t you made it clear?
Xia Siya, “…”
Understood.
She is not stupid, and what her father said is actually a clear point.
"Daddy is right." Xia Siya said unwillingly.
After saying that, he muttered something again.
"This is like trying to cover up one's mistakes and stealing the bell."
Magistrate Xia, “…”
Old Mrs. Su, “…”
Indeed, it seems, indeed...it's like trying to cover up one's mistakes while stealing the bell.
Old Mrs. Su and Old Man Su looked at each other.
immediately--
"Miss Xia, you're wrong." Old Madam Su said, "What happened that day? Isn't it because Young Master Yang is a very lucky man that Tang Bao got lucky?"
"Young Master Yang?" Magistrate Xia asked in surprise.
Old Mrs. Su's eyes flashed.
She had heard that Magistrate Xia and County Magistrate Zheng had visited the mansion.
Now seeing the expression on Magistrate Xia's face, he understood something.
So, he explained, "It's the young master who lives in the big house at the entrance of the village."
Old Mrs. Su had already learned everything about what happened to Little Tangbao that day.
The entire Su family is particularly grateful to Xuanyuan Jin.
For this, Old Man Su and Old Lady Su came to express their gratitude.
However, it was Xiao Tangbao who told me that Xuanyuan Jin's surname was Yang.
After hearing Mrs. Su's explanation, Prefect Xia immediately understood that Mrs. Su was talking about Xuanyuan Jin.
Not only did Magistrate Xia understand, but County Magistrate Zheng also understood.
The two men's expressions changed, and they didn't dare to say that the young master's surname was not Yang.
However, no one dared to comment on what Old Lady Su said.
After all, as Mrs. Su said, that person is the one who is truly blessed by the real dragon.
How do you know it’s not because that person is blessed?
Prefect Xia laughed heartily and said, "In any case, Ya'er was able to escape danger thanks to Young Master Yang and Fu Ya."
County Magistrate Zheng quickly agreed, "That's exactly what happened."
Xia Siya looked at County Magistrate Zheng and said unhappily, "According to what you said, I'm the only one who has no luck?"
County Magistrate Zheng: "...No, no."
"What is that?" Xia Siya asked back.
County Magistrate Zheng: “…”
Looking at County Magistrate Zheng, I broke out in a cold sweat.
If you say in front of someone's father that his daughter is unlucky, do you still want the official hat?
But isn't that what your father said?
"Ya'er, don't be rude." said Magistrate Xia.
But I felt a little unhappy in my heart.
There are some things that he, as a father, can say but outsiders cannot.
County Magistrate Zheng had always been smooth sailing, but lately he'd been saying the wrong things and doing the wrong things. He couldn't help but think, "I'll go to the temple someday..."
No! Going to a temple to pray to the gods and Buddhas might be worse than praying for blessings.
So, he immediately looked at Xiao Tangbao and said flatteringly, "Fuya, let's go to the county town to play someday. Your aunt has been talking about missing you these days, and your brother Zheng also said he missed sister Fuya..."
After hearing what County Magistrate Zheng said, Little Tangbao remembered the magistrate's wife's operation of sending gifts, and instinctively wanted to shake his head.
Xia Siya rushed to say, "What's fun in the county town? Sister Fuya, why don't you come with me to the provincial capital? There are more fun things to do there!"
After saying that, he pulled Xiaotangbao's hand and said expectantly, "Sister Fuya, is it okay?"
When County Magistrate Zheng saw that his attempt to show goodwill to Xiao Tangbao was intercepted by Xia Siya, he dared not say anything.
He thought to himself that after Xia Siya left Fengqi County, he would ask his wife to pick up Fu Ya.
"Thank you, Sister Siya. Tangbao will definitely go if there is a chance in the future." said little Tangbao.
She would definitely go to the capital, but it was impossible for her to go now.
Her parents would definitely not agree!
No! Their whole family won't agree!
Prefect Xia strongly agreed with his daughter's invitation to Xiao Tangbao to go to the provincial capital.
He came to Fengqi County in a hurry and didn't bring anything valuable with him, not even much silver.
So I thought, it would be great if Xiao Tangbao could go to the provincial capital.
It’s a good opportunity to give little Tangbao some more valuable gifts.
Moreover, he was happy to see his daughter and Xiao Tangbao become good friends.
Otherwise, he would not have left his daughter in the Su family.
"Fuya, you have helped solve the case. What reward do you want?" asked Magistrate Xia.
Little Tangbao really didn't feel that he had done anything meritorious.
So, he shook his head and said, "Thank you, Uncle Magistrate. Tang Bao doesn't want any reward."
Xia Zhifu said: "No, it won't work. How about this?"
As Prefect Xia spoke, he looked at Magistrate Zheng.
"The county government is currently short of yamen runners. Brother Su was able to single-handedly take on a large tiger. It must be that a tiger father will have a dog son."
Magistrate Xia first praised Old Man Su, and then said, "The men of the Su family are certainly very brave. Why not choose one from among them?"
"That's exactly what I meant." County Magistrate Zheng said hurriedly.
After saying this, he secretly regretted that the prefect had spoken it first.
It must be said that he did have this in mind when he came to the Su family this time.
He would definitely not miss out on anything that could benefit the Su family.
Not to mention anything else, just based on the attitude of the young man at the village entrance towards Xiao Tangbao, he must make friends with the Su family.
Moreover, the several yamen runners who were found to have hidden stolen goods were all dismissed and held accountable.
There are indeed a few vacancies in the county government now.
