Qin Fang saw Prefect Liu coming, put down the goods in his hand and stepped forward: "Master Liu, I have met Master Liu."
Prefect Liu hurriedly said: "General Qin, there is no need to be polite. Yunxiang County has changed a lot. General Qin has only been here for a few months, and it seems to be a different scene here. Compared with the last time I came, the changes are even greater." It is mainly due to the momentum created by the road construction. It is really lively.
Qin Fang said: "Thanks to the grace of the emperor."
This is false, everyone knows.
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Prefect Liu said, "General Qin, let me have a word with you. Regarding the matter of Laiwang County, there is already a result, but this result..."
Qin Fang's expression was serious: "Please come in, Lord Liu."
The two came to a quieter place, and Prefect Liu said seriously and seriously: "General Qin, the matter of Laiwang County is not as good as imagined, but in my opinion, this result is the best." Qin Fang
said, "Please speak clearly, Lord." In fact, he had a good impression of Lord Liu. Although he was a person who was prudent and self-protective, he was not a corrupt official. What's wrong with being prudent and self-protective in the officialdom?
Prefect Liu said, "The son-in-law of your servant, Madam Fan, committed suicide out of fear of crime. County Magistrate Cheng of Laiwang County confessed his crime, saying that he wanted the quota of Laiwang County's imperial grain agent, but the Qin Mansion did not give him the quota, so he was dissatisfied and made up a rumor about you, General Qin. Now he has taken all the blame, and all the evidence has been cut off by him. According to this official, this matter can be closed.
Of course, we all know that County Magistrate Cheng has someone behind him, But there are some people that General Qin may not be able to deal with, and Guancheng County Magistrate's intention is not to be honest. Although General Qin has Lord Du's backing, Lord Du is no match for four hands. If the other party can deal with General Qin, he must not be afraid of Lord Du, so... General Qin might as well be patient? "The way of being an official of Prefect Liu is to be patient. Anyway, being patient and admitting the mistakes has no effect on him, and he will live his life as usual.
Qin Fang is not a person who sticks to etiquette. On the contrary, he has a flexible mind. He knows how to show his honest side in front of Du Ke and his simple side in front of the emperor, so he naturally understands what Prefect Liu said.
Just like the day he asked the teacher, who in the capital is dealing with him? The teacher said he didn't know. But Qin Fang didn't know whether he knew or not, and he didn't mean to get to the bottom of it.
He was of low status now, and if he wanted to pursue this matter, it would inevitably involve the teacher. He couldn't implicate the teacher just because the teacher was good to him, so Qin Fang knew how to endure it. He said, "This matter is in the charge of Lord Liu, and it will naturally be decided by Lord Liu."
Hearing Qin Fang say this, Prefect Liu felt relieved, for he was afraid that Qin Fang would rely on his teacher Du Ke to get to the bottom of it. Once that happened, the people in the capital would not be someone he, a small prefect, could touch, but Qin Fang had Du Ke around, so he couldn't do anything. Wouldn't he be the one in trouble in the end? If he couldn't find out the result of the case, then it would be his ability that was in question. And Qin Fang was willing to stop, so he just owed Qin Fang a favor. "General Qin, if that's the case, I'll close the case."
Qin Fang said, "Wait a minute, sir. Aunt Fan's son-in-law has passed away. Between Aunt Fan and their family..."
Prefect Liu said, "The son-in-law did a lot of bad things during his lifetime. This time he was involved in the matter of County Magistrate Cheng. Even if he committed suicide, I can make the decision to let him and his wife divorce. What do you think, General Qin?" It was just a simple matter, so Prefect Liu would naturally help. Moreover, there were many people who divorced because of this kind of thing. As long as the government sentenced the divorce, the divorce would be established.
General Qin: "Thank you, sir, for this."
After Sir Liu and Qin Fang reached an agreement, they went back. Qin Fang did not rush back to the general's mansion, but went back with the common people at night.
At dinner time, Qin Fang and Yang Haiyan talked about this matter: "We are currently in Yunxiang County, and there is no need to confront people in the capital. I don't want to implicate the teacher because of my affairs. Besides, the other party's goal is not my life, and he should not intend to make a mortal enemy, so I plan to understand this matter here. When we have the ability, we will not be afraid of these."
Yang Haiyan had no opinion on this. What is the courage of a common man? The most important thing is to learn to endure.
With the end of the Cheng County Order case, those superficial things also gradually ended, and Yunxiang County returned to its former tranquility.
Because of limited money, road construction is no longer as grand as it was at the beginning. Now the road construction is carried out in turns by each village, and there is still no monthly allowance, only meals are provided. The road construction was in charge of Yang County Magistrate, and Qin Fang went to the horse farm every day.
Yunxiang County built a super large horse farm, which used the land of the court. There were two blood-fighting horses in the horse farm. Because of the preciousness of blood-fighting horses, there were soldiers in the horse farm. Not only that, the manager of the horse farm was also very cautious about this. As a horse lover, if horses are compared to his children, then blood-fighting horses are undoubtedly the most favored sons, so how can he not be cautious?
In January, the weather gradually became colder, and Yang Haiyan, who was more than four months pregnant, had a noticeable belly. In addition, she was originally slim, so it was even more obvious. However, Doctor Li would check her pulse once every half a month, so she was in good health. But even so, the elders in the family still care about her very much.
On this day, the family was basking in the sun in the yard, and Aunt Fan came out with several plates of freshly made snacks. Aunt Fan has been relaxed since her son-in-law died and her daughter got divorced. Because her daughter was a widow, it was not suitable for her to live in the general's mansion, so Yang Haiyan suggested that she go to the imperial grain processing factory. The imperial grain processing factory originally needed female workers, and Aunt Fan's daughter was very suitable. Aunt Fan's granddaughter lived in the general's mansion, sharing a room with Aunt Fan. In the morning, she followed the masters of the mansion to listen to the teacher's lectures, and in the afternoon, she went to learn embroidery.
"Madam, there is a guest outside." Aunt Hong entered the inner courtyard and saluted Yang Haiyan. "He said he was from the general's hometown, claiming to be the general's uncle."
Yang Haiyan heard it and said, "Please invite him in." She had thought that Uncle Qin and his son were coming, but she didn't know
what was going on at the Ding family, but she didn't expect that they would finally come. Grandma Qin said, "Afang's grandparents have always loved his uncle. It's been so long, the Ding family must be worried. I wonder if he is here to pick someone up?"
Yang Haiyan said, "Grandma, don't worry about it, I've got mother."
Although she said so, Yang Haiyan still got up to receive the guests.
Uncle Qin really didn't want to leave his hometown to come to Yunxiang County, and it was all caused by the third brother's family. His father and mother were worried about the third brother, so he had to make this trip.
Speaking of which, the third brother and his family were all out of tune. A few days ago, when the third brother's family said they were going to his mother-in-law's house, they didn't take it seriously. But after several days without him coming back, they started to wonder. In this day and age, food is so expensive in everyone's home, how could the in-laws support the family of the third son like this?
Later, the third son's wife came back, but the third son and Tadpole did not. At first, the third son's wife said that they would stay at her parents' home for a few more days, and they did not think much about it. It was not until day after day that they still did not see the third son and Tadpole that the third son's wife could no longer hide the matter and told them about it. It turned out that the third son had brought Tadpole to Yunxiang County.
This made father and mother angry. They had been sick for a long time, and when they recovered, he came to look for them.
However, after entering the general's mansion, Uncle Qin was still a little restrained. He couldn't move freely in such a grand place.
Uncle Qin was taken to the hall and saw Yang Haiyan. Even though he only met her once in March last year, Uncle Qin still remembered Yang Haiyan. Seeing Yang Haiyan now, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Afang's wife."
"Uncle is here, please take a seat. Someone has been sent to invite mother, and mother will be here soon." Yang Haiyan didn't have much impression of this Uncle Qin, but since there were no other top-notch families except Uncle Qin San's family, the Ding family, she still welcomed such a relative.
People are social animals, so naturally relatives cannot be excluded.
Uncle Qin sat down, and the servants brought some food. Uncle Qin didn't eat right away, but asked about Uncle Qin's third uncle: "Afang's wife, did Uncle Fang bring Tadpole here? That bastard left without even saying hello to the family, and made everyone at home worried. My father and mother even got sick because of the worry..." Then, Uncle Qin kept nagging about family matters. It wasn't easy for him to get here, and he finally got here. He really wanted to scold Uncle Qin to death. Yang Haiyan comforted
him: "Uncle Qin and Tadpole are working on the farm, and they are managed by mother, but it's not bad. Fortunately, grandpa and grandma are fine, otherwise Uncle Qin's matter would have been a big deal." How could it not be a big deal if his parents were mad to death?
Encountering such a brother, Uncle Qin was also worried: "That's right."
The two chatted for a while, and Yang Haiyan asked someone to take Uncle Qin to wash and rest for a while. He had rushed all the way here, and he took the horse-drawn carriage, ox-drawn cart, donkey-drawn cart, etc. if there was a convenient way, and walked on his own if there was no convenient way, so he was really tired.
When Qin's mother came from the imperial grain factory, she learned that Uncle Qin had fallen asleep, so she didn't bother him.
Instead, Yang Haiyan told Qin's mother about the Ding family. When she learned that her parents were so angry that they fell ill, Qin's mother wanted to beat up Uncle Qin San again. "Your third uncle has learned his lesson now and can work. In the final analysis, this matter is still your third aunt's fault. As the old saying goes, marry a virtuous wife. The Ding family married this troublesome person, and it is the Ding family that is unlucky."
Yang Haiyan didn't know how to respond to this. However, "Mother, if the eldest uncle wants to take the third uncle away, what do you think?"
Mother Qin thought for a while and said, "The third brother is under my control here. If he returns to his hometown, according to the character of my father and mother, he will definitely become the same as before. It is better to let him stay here and receive some monthly allowances every month. Yanyan, what do you think?"
