Hu Xiaotian heard Su Guangju's voice and shook his head. Before getting up, he looked down to make sure that there was nothing wrong with his body. Then he went over and opened the door. Su Guangju and Liu Danggui, the head of Huichun Hall, stood outside the door.
Su Guangju had a smile on his face, but Liu Danggui had a pitiful expression on his face. Hu Xiaotian understood the purpose of these two coming at a glance. No need to ask, it was 100% related to the arrest of Liu Kuohai this morning.
.
Su Guangju smiled and said, "I'm sorry to disturb Mr. Hu's lunch break. It's just that Shopkeeper Liu has something urgent that he wants to discuss with Mr. Hu."
Hu Xiaotian nodded, smiled and said: "It's okay, I just happened to wake up anyway." He thought to himself, if these two don't come, I'm afraid his pants will be wet by now, so I have to think of the bright side in everything.
At least I don't have to change my underwear.
Su Guangju and Liu Danggui walked into the room. Hu Xiaotian invited them to sit down and said softly: "I wonder what shopkeeper Liu wants to see me for?"
Liu Danggui's tears came at the first sign. She pulled up her sleeves with one hand, covered her face and said, "My life is so miserable..."
Hu Xiaotian just saw other people crying like this on the drama stage, and saw Liu Danggui crying so exaggeratedly. Instead of feeling sympathy, this guy felt a little want to laugh. It wasn't that he was gloating about his misfortune, but he just found Liu Danggui's way of soliciting sympathy a bit funny.
, I have something to say, why don’t you cry. We are strangers, and your crying will not move me. You cannot blame society for your miserable life, what the hell are you doing to me?
Liu Danggui cried, realizing that Hu Xiaotian had no reaction, and felt that he was a bit exaggerated, so he wiped his tears awkwardly. It was not without reason that the ancients kept big sleeves. They were used to wipe tears, wipe noses, and dip saliva.
Yes, it can be used as a fan when the weather is hot. Liu Danggui coughed twice and said, "Mr. Hu, Liu took the liberty to come here because he has something to ask for."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Liu just said it doesn't matter."
Liu Danggui's eyes were red and she said sadly: "It's really hard to say this. Mr. Hu should have seen my unsatisfactory son go to Wanfu to cause trouble this morning."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Why did this happen?"
Liu Danggui sighed heavily and said: "This starts from yesterday. Wan Tingsheng, the second son of Wanfu, suddenly fell into a coma and called local doctors. I was also invited to go to Wanfu to diagnose him, but my medical skills are shallow.
, I was honest and helpless on the spot, but because of this truth, I offended Wan Yuanwai, and he asked his servants to kick me out. Mr. Hu also saw it at the time, and I accidentally sprained my ankle when I was kicked out of Wanfu. My son
He has a hot temper. I was most worried that he would find out about this matter, but I didn’t expect that God is not as good as man. He finally learned the truth of the matter. This morning he went to Wanjia Xingxing to investigate. If he disagreed, he fought with the servants.
Mr. Hu has seen what happened next. How can we provoke such a powerful and powerful family? Now my poor child has been taken away by the government and imprisoned in prison. My poor child
My child..." Liu Danggui wiped her tears again.
Hu Xiaotian comforted him and said: "Shopkeeper Liu, don't worry, even if the government sentences him for causing trouble. Fighting, at most, is a slap in the face and a fine of money, it is not a serious crime." Hu Xiaotian also read it in his spare time during this period.
I learned some Dakang laws and regulations, and I have a good idea of how to deal with these things.
Liu Danggui said: "Young master Hu, you don't know something. The Wan family has always left no room for action. The government only speaks to them, so how can they deal with it fairly? To be honest with you, I went to the Wan family twice and wanted to see Wan Yuanwai.
I just asked him to be more generous and let my son go, but he didn't want to meet me at all, and even asked someone to tell me that my son would be sent to the army this time, or his head would be thrown to the ground." When Liu Danggui said this, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Hu Xiaotian didn't believe that the matter would be so serious. In his eyes, it was just an ordinary fight. There were no casualties. In modern society, the worst case scenario would be a detention and fine. How could anyone's head fall to the ground? He said softly:
"Is there anything I can do to help Shopkeeper Liu?"
Liu Danggui said: "I heard that Mr. Hu saved Wan Tingsheng's life?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled, not expecting that this matter would spread very quickly: "Who did Shopkeeper Liu listen to?"
Su Guangju said at the side: "Mr. Hu, it has been spread outside now. Some people saw you uncovering the reward documents of the Wan family. You went to the Wan family last night, and today the second young master of the Wan family is out of danger."
Hu Xiaotian laughed. It seemed that they had surmised that although they were kind to the Wan family, the Wan family would not publicize this matter in a big way. Hu Xiaotian said: "I didn't want to say it, but since both of you are like this
I think I should tell the truth, in fact I am a ghost hunter, and the Wan family invited me to go there to draw charms and catch ghosts."
"Ghost hunting?" they both said in unison.
Hu Xiaotian nodded: "Wanjia is haunted, don't you know?" This guy has ulterior motives. He wants to spread the word through the two people's mouths. It won't take long for everyone to talk about it.
Everyone in Qingyun will know that the rumors outside will definitely further increase the psychological pressure on the Wan family. When the time comes, Wan Boping will definitely spend money to solve this matter, and he can just get a big vote.
Liu Danggui was not interested in the haunting of the Wan family. What he really cared about was his son. He mustered up the courage to say: "Mr. Hu, I know it's a bit rash for me to beg you, but I really can't think of any other way. I
I only have one son, Kuo Hai, and if something happens to him, I won’t be able to live anymore.”
Hu Xiaotian said: "You want me to go to Wan Boping to intercede for you?"
Liu Danggui nodded repeatedly. He took out twenty taels of gold from his arms and placed it in front of Hu Xiaotian. It can be said that these golds were Liu Danggui's most of his life savings.
If it were yesterday, Hu Xiaotian might be dazzled by these twenty taels of gold, but today is different from the past. He is already a wealthy young man with three hundred gold in his waist. Of course, he will not be tempted by this little gold. Hu Xiaotian will use the twenty taels of gold.
The two pieces of gold were all pushed back.
Liu Danggui looked at him with a disappointed expression, thinking that Hu Xiaotian was unwilling to help. He bit his lip and said: "Master Hu, I only have so much. If Master Hu can save the child, Liu will make a grass ring in the future to repay the favor."
Your great kindness."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Shopkeeper Liu, I'm not dissatisfied with the lack of money. I'm just an ordinary ghost hunter. Even if I am willing to help you, the Wan family may not be willing to give me this face. Good steel must be used on the blade, money
You must spend it where it should be spent. I think you should use the money to go to the Yamen to take care of things. As long as the Yamen has a good relationship inside and outside, your son will be fine."
Liu Danggui sighed and heard what Hu Xiaotian said was honest. In fact, he didn't want to go to the Yamen to clear things up. It's just that the little money he sent over wasn't enough for County Magistrate Xu Qinglian to stuff his teeth. Compared with his financial resources, even if he sold the drug store, it wouldn't be enough.
He is no match for the Wan family. If the county magistrate still speaks to the Wan family after receiving the money, then it will be like a meat bun beating a dog and there will be no return.
Hu Xiaotian refused to accept it, so Liu Angelica could only take the gold and leave. Su Guangju did not go with him and deliberately lagged a few steps behind. After Liu Angelica left, he apologized to Hu Xiaotian and said: "Master Hu, it's not me who is here, shopkeeper Liu."
idea.”
Hu Xiaotian thought it would be strange if he said no. I live in your inn, and every move is under your eyes. If you don't tell me, how can Liu Danggui know? But he also knows that Su Guangju has no ill intentions and is just eager to help his old neighbor.
That's all, so he smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Su, actually I also want to help him, but I'm afraid I won't be able to speak at Wan Yuanwai. If possible, I will definitely try my best to help."
Su Guangju smiled and said, "Then I'll help Shopkeeper Liu thank Mr. Hu first."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Shopkeeper Su, I have something to ask you."
Su Guangju said: "Don't say that. If Mr. Hu has anything to do, just give him your orders."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I may have to stay in Qingyun for a long time, and it is not convenient to stay in an inn all the time."
Su Guangju wished that he could live in his shop for the rest of his life, and said hurriedly: "If there is any inconvenience, just treat this place as your own home. If you live here for a long time, the rent can be easily negotiated." But in his heart, he vaguely guessed that Hu Xiaotian was probably because of what happened just now.
I was unhappy, so I decided to leave.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Shopkeeper Su didn't understand what I meant. I plan to live in Qingyun for three to five years, so I want to rent a house here." He had already inquired clearly before that except for the county magistrate Xu Qinglian, there were no other people in the county government.
They all live outside. Originally Hu Xiaotian was worried about this matter, but now that he has gold on hand, everything will be solved naturally.
Su Guangju nodded and said, "Master Hu, please tell me the conditions."
Hu Xiaotian briefly stated the conditions, and Su Guangju agreed.
The next morning, Hu Xiaotian went to Qingyun County Yamen early in the morning. They were still wearing casual clothes. Liang Dazhuang on the left and Murong Feiyan on the right. All three of them were brightly dressed. In order to take office today, Hu Xiaotian dressed up specially, thinking that he was elegant and elegant.
Lin Feng, but in Murong Feiyan's opinion, he looked like an oily, naughty boy, a complete playboy.
A man needs clothes and a horse needs a saddle. The management of appearance and image is very important in any society. Hu Xiaotian came again today. The two disciples at the yamen gate felt that this young master had extraordinary bearing. Although the disciples were of low status, they also had the ability to understand people.
, seeing that the other party was well-dressed and well-behaved, his face suddenly lost the irritability he used to face the people, and the water and fire stick in his hand was lying on the ground. Li Er, who was still on the right, said: "What's the matter with this young master?"
?" In fact, it wasn't just Hu Xiaotian and the others' gorgeous clothes that played a role today. The county magistrate Xu Qinglian had already spread the word that today was the day when the new county magistrate would take office, and all three classes of government officials were asked to show off their tricks.
This group of government officials knew about this, so they were very polite to everyone today. In fact, they did not associate Hu Xiaotian with the new county magistrate. After all, Hu Xiaotian was too young. In their impression, at least Qingyun County had not yet
Such a young official.
By now, Hu Xiaotian no longer had the need to conceal his identity. He winked at Liang Dazhuang. Liang Dazhuang held his head high and said, "What's the matter? Don't you even know Mr. Hu?"
