This is a very heart-wrenching question. If you don’t report or expose, you will get 60,000 taels in vain, which is enough to spend a lifetime. After reporting and exposing, Xu Qing is confident that he can send a state Sima out of Yongzhou City based on his relationship with the wise king.
question.
The key point is that once the Xu family is found guilty of corruption, the 60,000 taels of silver that my father-in-law just turned over and counted several times will immediately turn into dirty silver and be handed over to the court.
It depends on whether the sixty thousand taels of silver is more important to the father-in-law, or whether it is more important to vent his anger on his son-in-law and daughter.
Of course, even if his father-in-law doesn't hand over the 60,000 taels, Xu Qing can still find a way to get the Xu family out of Yongzhou City, but it may take a little longer.
…
To Xu Qing's surprise, when Magistrate Su heard that the money might bring down the Xu family, he immediately stopped looking at it and said angrily: "Sixty thousand taels can help Qian'er help you with this."
It’s worth the bad temper! Not to mention the sixty thousand taels, even including my official position, it’s worth it! If you dare to take advantage of my daughter, I will risk my life not to let them disappear completely in Yongzhou City.
!”
Xu Qing, who was facing Magistrate Su, wiped his face... It seems that he still underestimated the extent of his father-in-law's love for his only daughter. He didn't want an official position, didn't want money, and even risked his life to do this for his daughter.
With a bad breath, in this society where men are superior to women, there are probably few fathers like Magistrate Su.
Not to mention now, even in Xu Qing's previous life when he was wealthy and free-thinking, there were people who looked down upon his son as a daughter...
At the same time, Xu Qing also felt silently for the Xu family. How on earth did he dare to offend a daughter? How dare he!
The Xu family...have they always been so brave?
Xu family
Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Sima and cried: "Master, are you crazy?! Did you really give the Su family compensation?! You gave us 60,000 taels, how can we live!"
Xu Sima said with a gloomy face: "That's enough, don't say it anymore! A husband has his own considerations!"
Mrs. Xu cried like a tearful person. She usually lived an extremely luxurious life. Now, almost all the cash she could get at home was taken away by her master. She really went to compensate the 60,000 taels of silver surnamed Su.
Now that everything is out, how will she live in the future?
How could my master do this? How could he do this?
You are simply too confused!
Xu Sima looked at Mrs. Xu who continued to cry and waved her hands angrily: "Why are you crying?! What is there to cry for! What does a mere woman know?!"
Seeing the angry look, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but be startled: "Master..."
Xu Sima interrupted Mrs. Xu's words and snorted coldly: "That's enough! As long as I am still Sima of Yongzhou, if one has 60,000 taels, there will be a second 60,000 taels! A woman's view is beyond stupidity! Go and see that
How is your son? Don't bother me during this period."
Mrs. Xu trembled and retreated sobbing.
Xu Sima was already in a bad mood when he gave away the 60,000 taels, but now he is still bothered by his married wife when he comes home. How dare you call him crazy?! If he was really crazy, he would be like this before.
He should divorce his wife when she says this!
Who can feel comfortable giving away 60,000 taels of silver for nothing? There is nothing we can do about it! If we don’t give 60,000 taels to this place today, we will lose far more than just 60,000 taels in the future!
Officialdom and business are the same. Once you expect a huge loss, you must stop the loss immediately even if you post a part of the money. If you are reluctant to part with the money on hand, you may lose all your belongings.
It's a pity that my wife, who has long hair and short knowledge, doesn't understand.
…
The second day
The weather is a bit bad today, the wind is blowing so hard that it feels like a knife blowing against your face.
Xu Qing came to the bookstore and made a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup for Xiao Ruxue. As the little girl grew older, she was developing in all aspects and her nutrition could keep up.
Originally, Xiao Ruxue was the only one holding a bowl of porridge in the room, but after Xiao Ye came over smelling the fragrance, there were two.
While they were having porridge, Xu Qing temporarily acted as the shopkeeper.
However, this shopkeeper is also very relaxed. In this horrible weather, even the nearby Zhuyeqing has no customers, let alone the bookstore. New books are not on sale today, so a fool would come in to buy books in such horrible weather!
"Eh? Is there really a fool?"
At this moment, Xu Qing suddenly saw a limping figure, with half of his body and face almost covered in bandages. He was holding a cane in his other hand... He was walking with difficulty, and there were several people following behind him.
Follow.
The attendant wanted to help him, but he roughly pushed him away!
Xu Qing suddenly felt a little moved in his heart. Despite such bad weather, Dachu Yongzhou City still has no shortage of people who love reading. There is hope for the revitalization of Dachu!
This is not a fool! This is a true scholar! His body is disabled but his will is not disabled! Well done! Qingxue Study is cheering for you!
The man walked step by step to the counter of Qingxue Study. Xu Qing looked at him with tears in his eyes: "Sir, in such bad weather, you still dragged yourself to buy books. You have such spirit, why worry?
You didn’t win the top prize?! I’m deeply impressed!”
Unexpectedly, the eyes of the man with half of his body wrapped in bandages burst out with resentment: "Xu Qing! Do you still remember me?!"
Xu Qing was slightly stunned after hearing the voice. The emotion he just felt disappeared without a trace. He looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief: "Mr. Xu Shen? You have been injured like this, and you are still in the middle of winter.
Why is there a bookstore? If you really want to read books, can you just ask servants to deliver them to you? It’s really not possible... My Qingxue Study actually provides door-to-door delivery service."
Xu Shen gritted his teeth and said: "I'm not here to buy books! I'm here to ask for the 60,000 taels of silver that should belong to my Xu family! My father was confused by your insidious little popularity, but I am not confused! See what I brought.
Are you here?! If you don’t know how to appreciate me, don’t blame me for demolishing your Qingxue study today!”
Xu Qing showed a slightly frightened expression: "This shop is a great effort. Mr. Xu Shen hopes to show mercy."
Xu Shen hummed: "If you know you're afraid, just hand over the 60,000 taels of silver quickly. We'll settle the accounts later!"
Xu Qing nodded quickly and said: "Yes...yes...I'll hand it over now, but the silver is too valuable. I'll keep it in the back room. I'll take Mr. Xu Shen over."
Xu Shen snorted: "I'm sorry you can't do any tricks. You guys, come in with me!"
After listening to Xu Qing's argument in the court that day, Xu Shen didn't quite believe that Xu Qing was really capable of sneaking into the palace to beat him. However, Xu Qing had skills in his body. Although Xu Shen didn't learn from the Qixi Poetry Recital
However, his two followers have learned that it would be safer to bring a few more this time. After all, it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands.
Then, a follower tried to help Xu Shen, but Xu Shen roughly pushed him away and followed Xu Qing step by step towards the backyard.
Just after entering the backyard and reaching the frozen pond, Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ye and Xiao Ruxue who had finished eating the porridge and walked out of the room. His expression suddenly turned sinister: "Hit me!"
