Only two days after Mr. Lin arrived in Qili County, he heard the ridiculous things Lin Qingyuan was doing.
My concubine doesn't care about family affairs and doesn't do his job properly. He spends all day hanging around the courtyard and gets entangled with married women.
Even after being punished several times and kneeling in the ancestral hall, he still showed no restraint. He was so angry that the elders stopped caring about him.
She also has a bad reputation. Even if her family wants to find a suitable family to marry into, no one else will.
Now it seems that if we can really bring this Song Liyun home and win his heart, it might not be a bad thing.
Thinking of this, Mr. Lin gathered his scarf and coughed twice. The boy who was waiting on the side hurriedly stepped forward: "Master, the wind outside the window is cold, you can't blow it like this."
Mr. Lin knew that he would suffer from asthma every winter, so he did not show off. He sat back at the table and asked the boy: "Have the people who went to Fucheng come back?"
The boy replied: "I have come back. I said that the office of the government clerk is coming to Qili County to check the annual polls!"
Mr. Lin curled his lips and said, "Prefect Zhang is so naughty now!"
Tianxianglou had a close relationship with the health office and the county government. In order to prevent the Qili County magistrate from practicing favoritism and malpractice, he had already informed the government office and asked someone to supervise the handling of the case.
Although what he wanted was supervision, or to put it mildly, an observer, in fact he wanted someone who could make Jiang Feng fearful.
But I didn't expect that the person came, but he was a small official and secretary. The prefect of Pingyang was playing a double game!
However, what I have to do is not impossible.
As the county magistrate, this was Jiang Feng's first visit to Suijin Town, and his arrival caused a sensation in the town.
Luo Baihu had already sent people to surround Baolinju, and the people in the town could only stand at a distance.
People outside could only see the government officials entering the woods of Baolinju, and they immediately began to whisper.
"What happened to the Song family? We are still repairing the house? Don't get paid for the work!" Some people watching the excitement were worried.
"What are you afraid of? There are so many people doing it. I heard that all the acorn food stores in the town are owned by the Song family. Didn't you see how many trucks come to bring vermicelli every day? The money is like water rushing in. Are you afraid that there will be less?
I took away your few taels of silver!" Someone expressed disdain.
The first person to speak laughed: "Aren't I worried? The Acorn Food Shop belongs to the Song family. If the Song family commits crimes and is seized, wouldn't we have no money?"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately resonated with several people around him: Yes, if the Song family's things were seized, I would have nothing, and they would all be worried.
Hu Qing, Xue Zhuang and others were also among the crowd watching. When they heard these comments, they all looked solemn and quickly withdrew from the crowd and gathered at the Broken Gold Hall.
Paulin Curie, Song Laoer and his family were all wide-eyed.
They want to find their own things here to ensure that the evidence is conclusive.
This is easy. I just point to a few clothes and furniture and say they are from the old house. Who can deny it?
Jiang Feng didn't sit in the house either. He only had people bring chairs and sit on the verandah in the front yard.
Baolin Residence used to be a mansion. After this year of living and renovation, the traces of being burned have long since dissipated.
Even though it is winter at this time, the high corridor is bright and it is not crowded even if there are twenty or thirty people standing there.
Under the supervision of the government officials, Song Laoer and several people began to search for items.
Song Laoer and Song Xiaobao were in the front yard.
Yesterday, when they arrived, they were stopped as soon as they entered the gate. The Song family had never even entered the house. At this time, they looked at the brightly polished jujube wood dining table and pear wood chairs on the kang.
These pieces of furniture are not comparable to our own rough wooden furniture.
He touched the smooth tabletop with his hands and looked at the delicate lines. He quickly calculated in his mind how much the table was worth and how much the chair was worth!
Song Xiaobao had one eye swollen and had been frozen in prison all night. His nose kept running at this time: "Dad, these tables don't belong to me, go and find other places!"
"Shut up, what do you know?" Song Laoer couldn't care less about what his son was saying at this time. He just thought about how to move these things away.
Song Xiaobao jumped to his feet anxiously: "Dad, you are lingering here and you haven't even looked at the wing and cellar!"
He has been hanging out with the gangsters in Qingping Town for a long time and knows that wealthy families like to hide valuable things in darkrooms and cellars.
"Yes!" After being reminded by his son, Song Laoer realized that this was just a Kang table, and there were still many places that he hadn't looked at yet!
The father and son hurriedly wanted to go to the house next to them, but were stopped by two government officials who had been following them.
"Song Defu, are there any of your things in this house?" the Songfeng County police officer said with a cold face, holding a book in his hand.
They keep records specifically and only wait for the stolen goods to be reported before they are recorded in the book.
Song Laoer almost didn't even think about it, he opened his mouth and said: "Yes, they are all from my family."
Watching the Songfeng County government official start writing, the Qili County government official next to him said coldly: "Song Defu, you have to look carefully. If you admit your mistake, you will be punished by blackmail. One year in jail is a light sentence."
He was a long-standing government servant, so the scene in which Song Defu touched the kang table just now naturally fell into his eyes. Even a blind man could see that greedy look.
There is no Song family furniture here!
Who would touch something they have used for decades like a bride?
Go to jail!
Song Laoer's mind suddenly woke up. It was really uncomfortable to lie in a damp and cold haystack last night, surrounded by prisoners screaming for help.
"No, no, I just admitted my mistake!"
Song Laoer shook his head like a wavy drum. He couldn't move the furniture even if he recognized it. He might as well pick something more valuable.
The Songfeng County government official who was recording the matter raised his eyebrows: "Song Defu, you can't even recognize your own things? If you start talking nonsense again, I will accuse you of lying when you return to Songfeng County."
Song Laoer was excited. He came here this time not just for the family property.
Sweat broke out on his forehead, and he quickly lowered his head and apologized: "I didn't sleep well last night. I was just dazzled."
This Song Defu is shameless and always lies.
The Songfeng County yamen officer and the Qili County yamen officer looked at each other, both of them showing a tacit understanding.
Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, so there is no need to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf.
I took a quick look at the main room in the front yard and saw beads of sweat dripping down Song Laoer's forehead.
He never cared about anything at his home in Xiaoshi Village, so he never knew whether the boxes and cabinets of the same size and style were his.
He wanted to admit it casually, but the words of the Qili County government official sent chills down his spine.
If not, you will be punished!
After seeing the room, he said he wanted to see the cellar.
Song Zhenping, Song Lizheng, Song Dekui and his son were always next to Jiang Feng and did not even enter the house.
When Song Zhenping heard that he wanted to see the cellar, he asked Han Ming to open the cellar door without hesitation.
Jiang Feng and Luo Baihu could guess how much his family property was, so he didn't need to hide it.
Especially since Yun'er's marriage was like that, it would make people look down upon her if she lived in poverty.
As for the second uncle... he is just an outsider, and he has long since disowned him!
