Volume 1 Chapter 15 Xu Jie's Return
Yang Cong really didn't expect that Deng Cheng would have such power and could instantly make a gentry admit defeat. He thought that this matter had to be based on Li Liangqin's reputation.
Xu Jie didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to solve such a troublesome case. He thought that he would eventually ask for help from Yongningwei to solve the problem.
He really doesn't want to offend people now. He was demoted to Quanzhou Prefecture because he offended the chief minister of the dynasty Zhang Fujing. Otherwise, how could he, a Yijia Tanhua, be the most promising local official?
As the saying goes, "Getting from one mistake to another", after being demoted this time, Xu Jie's personality gradually became calm and introverted. He no longer rushes to stand out in everything like a naughty man, nor does he pretend to be noble and look down on others. As for offending others, he will not do it if he can do it.
This case really gave him a headache. He knew very well what the outcome would be if the Tunwei had lost the military farm. If the Yongning Wei Zhenfu Department really alarmed the Yongning Wei Zhenfu Department, it would not be as simple as offending people, but to force people to death. He really didn't want to do such a thing unless it was absolutely necessary.
Who knew what the Li brothers would do after being forced to go to the forefront? He really didn't want to cause trouble for this little thing, so he has been thinking hard these days, looking for a proper solution.
Unexpectedly, on the morning of the day, the government office suddenly came to report that Zhangban gentry Ai Wannian took the initiative to remove the complaint!
What's going on?
Just when he was puzzled, the yamen runner who was standing outside suddenly reported: "Sir, Master Shi, the prosecutor, ask for a visit."
The prosecutor Shi Zhixuan asked him for his son's so-called friend's matter. He actually had a little idea about the matter of Hui'an Yang family, but Zhang Ban's case really gave him a headache and he had no time to distract him.
Now that the gentry Ai Wannian took the initiative to withdraw the complaint, Zhang Ban's case was settled. Just in time, let's talk to Shi Zhixuan about Yang Cong's problem.
Thinking of this, he calmed his face and looked gentle and elegant, and then said aloud: "Please come in."
Soon Shi Zhixuan walked in quickly, bowed and said, "Sir, please see Lord Xu."
Xu Jie smiled and waved, "No need to be polite, no need to be polite. Is Lord Shi doing it for the sake of the son?"
Shi Zhixuan said respectfully: "Sir, the dog son asked someone to send a letter, saying that Yang Cong went to Zhangban to meet the lord earlier, and paid off all the money that the Li brothers owed to the gentry Ai Wannian, and made some reconciliation from it. I guess Ai Wannian has already removed the complaint at this time?"
So that's the case. Yang Cong is not bad.
Xu Jie nodded, thought for a moment, and then praised: "This young master Yang is really a plea. This time he has helped me a lot. Let's do this. I will go to Wangjianglou tonight and thank you in person."
Upon hearing this, Shi Zhixuan bowed repeatedly and said, "You are polite, thank you for your appreciation."
Yang Cong was so excited when he received the news. His efforts were not in vain. It seemed that Xu Jie was really good. He knew that he had helped, so he immediately gave him a reward. He just didn't know how much return Xu Jie would give him. Will this powerful man mess with the Chen family in Longxi for himself?
Before You arrived that night, he booked the best private room in Wangjiang Tower, and then took Yu Dayou, Deng Cheng and Tang Kekuan to wait at the entrance of the restaurant with trepidation.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, the Shi Wenzhai brothers and Xue Nantang came together. They did not go to the private room, but waited at the gate with the four of them.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, the Shi Family's carriage also arrived.
This designation is that the father of the Shi Wenzhai brothers has arrived. Shi Zhixuan is also the elder of everyone, and he is also a government office inspector. Although he is just an official of no rank, his power is comparable to that of the county magistrate, so everyone naturally has to come forward to greet him.
Under the guidance of the Shi Wenzhai brothers, Yang Cong and others came to the Shi family carriage and were about to call their uncle. Unexpectedly, when the curtain of the car was lifted, the first person to poke his head out was a young man under 30 years old.
This young man is not tall, but his face is as elegant as a jade-like person. He looks like a well-educated man. Who would this person be?
Before everyone could react, Shi Zhixuan and the young man stepped off the carriage together. Everyone hurriedly bowed and asked his uncle. As for the young man, they didn't know what to call him, so naturally they didn't know how to ask him.
At this time, Shi Zhixuan did not introduce it, but instead said to Yang Cong with great interest: "This is Mr. Yang, right?"
Yang Cong hurriedly bowed and said, "Uncle, he is his nephew."
Shi Zhixuan mysteriously led the young man to Yang Cong, and then said solemnly: "I am fortunate to be unfair. Lord Xu, I have invited you."
This young man is Xu Jie?!
Yang Cong was stunned on the spot. He didn't react until the greetings sounded, and bowed repeatedly and said, "Student Yang Cong meets Lord Xu."
Unexpectedly, Xu Jie patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "Brother Qingfeng, don't be so arrogant. Let's go in first."
Brother?!
Not only Yang Cong and others were stunned, but even the diners nearby who were watching the fun were stunned.
Shi Zhixuan is also a famous juren in Quanzhou Prefecture City. Of course, there are many people who know him. Many people have guessed that the one who can be respected by Shi Zhixuan is definitely Xu Jie, the chief judge of the government office.
However, who is this young man who is called a virtuous brother by Lord Xu? There is no such person in Quanzhou Prefecture City!
Yang Cong didn't know why Xu Jie called him a virtuous brother. He was stunned for a while before raising his hand and said, "Please please, please, everyone."
Everyone climbed to the second floor with the whispers and curious eyes of the diners and came to the private room that had been booked in advance.
Yang Cong hadn't reacted yet. Why did Xu Jie call himself a virtuous brother? He was a Tanhualang who was in the Guiwei Palace Examination in the second year of Jiajing, and he was also a senior official in the government office. He was just a child without fame. How could he be such a person?
Unexpectedly, everyone gave in. As soon as the guest of the host sat down, Xu Jie stood up and bowed: "Brother Qingfeng, thank you for your case this time."
Which one did Xu Jie sing?
Yang Cong was fooled, so he could only stand up and kept bowing: "You are polite, Mr. Xu, it's not worth mentioning. Please sit down, please sit down."
After hearing this, Xu Jie sat down and smiled, "Brother Qingfeng, don't be so arrogant. What kind of adults are you and me? You and I are so close to each other, so it's better to be a brother."
Damn, what exactly does this guy want to do?
He might not want to mess with the Chen family in Longxi, so he should use this to shirk it!
Yang Cong really didn't know what to do now. He was stunned for a while, so he simply made up his mind and bowed his hands to ask, "This, Brother Zisheng, I actually want to ask you for help."
Unexpectedly, Xu Jie nodded without hesitation and said, "Since my brother has helped Brother Wei settle Zhang Ban's case, Brother Wei naturally wants to help Brother Wei settle the Chen family in Longxi."
this!
Yang Cong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
Chapter completed!
