As soon as Zhou Zhixian crawled out of Wenrou Township, he held his lower back, grinned and frowned...
It's all this annoying little goblin's fault!
While Zhou Zhixian was thinking, he turned back and glanced at Xiaohong under the quilt.
Although his waist was sore, Zhou Zhixian still straightened his waist like a victorious general. Last night, he was so brave that he killed Xiao Hong to the point of defeat and begged for mercy. The scenes were still vivid in his mind. Looking back, he felt that he was still unfulfilled.
Don't have any taste.
Zhou Zhixian straightened his back for a while and finally let out a sigh of relief.
As soon as my back sank, I heard Xiao Hong admonishing me behind me: "Master, if you feel unwell today, please take a day off to rest."
Zhou Zhixian was unhappy when he heard this: "What's wrong with you? Master, I'm feeling well!"
After saying that, Zhou Zhixian straightened his back again. Maybe he used too much force this time. Suddenly, Zhou Zhixian grinned and made a loud "hiss" sound.
Xiaohong immediately covered her mouth and laughed.
"Little goblin, you still dare to laugh! Let me see how I deal with you..."
Zhou Zhixian was so angry that he didn't care about his sore waist at the moment. He turned around and climbed onto the bed, tangled up with Xiaohong who was only wearing a bellyband.
Just when Xiaohong's bellyband was torn off and thrown aside, and Zhouzhi County had the upper hand, there was a call from a government official outside.
"Master, master..."
"Who the hell is this? You came here early in the morning and started yelling..."
When Zhou Zhixian was elected, his interest was greatly reduced.
Xiao Hong still hoped that the master would take care of his body, so he took the opportunity to say: "Master, there must be a case coming, otherwise the people below would not be so ignorant."
Zhou Zhixian thought about it, so he reached into the quilt, gently pinched Xiaohong's buttocks, and said: "I will let you, the little goblin, go for now!"
Then, under Xiaohong's service, Zhou Zhixian put on his clothes and left the inner hall.
As soon as the yamen officer saw the master coming out, he stepped forward and said: "Sir, the Qi family members are outside asking for a meeting. They said they want to withdraw the lawsuit, so they won't sue..."
"Qi family? Who are you not suing?" Zhou Zhixian didn't match the name with the case for a while.
The yamen servant hurriedly reminded: "Sir, don't you remember? It was the teacher who peed outside two days ago and was given to... by Miss Qi..."
Once reminded, Zhou Zhixian showed a surprised look, opened his eyes wide and asked: "Are they really here to remove the prosecution?"
"Yes, sir, I have already asked clearly. I am indeed here for this matter." The yamen servant confirmed.
Zhou Zhixian secretly calculated in his mind that today was not the day when the trial of Shi Miao's case was to begin. Unexpectedly, Chai Yan was really capable and managed to persuade the family within the prescribed time limit.
"Go and tell the Qi family, I will be there in a moment." Zhou Zhixian dismissed the government officials.
Afterwards, Zhou Zhixian met Miss Qi's father, Qi Shuanggui, in the living room.
Qi Shuanggui bowed to Zhou Zhixian and proposed withdrawing the complaint.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhixian suddenly changed his face and scolded him very unhappily: "Qi Shuanggui, your family is the one who runs the county government office? Come if you want to file a complaint, and if you don't want to file a complaint, just leave?"
Qi Shuanggui knew that he was in the wrong, so he apologized hurriedly and kept saying nice things.
Zhou Zhixian sat down angrily and said: "If you haven't thought clearly, don't hand over the petition. Just after you hand it over, you have to withdraw it. Tell me, what is this? You think I am playing house here."
A place like home, ah!”
"Master Zhou, calm down! It's all the fault of the common people. The common people didn't think well and wasted your time. The common people deserve to die. The common people deserve to die!" Qi Shuanggui hurriedly bowed and apologized.
Zhou Zhixian secretly scolded Qi Shuanggui for being ignorant. He could only apologize with words but not do anything practical. This guy was so clueless!
Qi Shuanggui finally figured out the problem when he saw that Magistrate Zhou glanced at him sideways from time to time, but always acted indifferently when he spoke.
Qi Shuanggui took out a folded banknote from his sleeve with a look of pain on his face, placed it in front of Zhou Zhixian's eyes with a low eyebrow, and then stepped aside with a smile.
Zhou Zhixian felt relieved as soon as he saw the banknotes, secretly thinking that you finally got the idea!
Zhou Zhixian glanced at Qi Shuanggui, reached out to pick up the banknote, unfolded it, and immediately his face fell. Then he slapped the banknote on the table with one palm.
"Qi Shuanggui, who do you think I am, a beggar?"
This banknote was in denomination of ten taels. No wonder the Zhouzhi County Council was furious.
Qi Shuanggui felt dissatisfied, thinking that I originally filed a complaint, but now I just want to withdraw the complaint. Isn't it enough to submit ten liang instead?
If the family hadn't been worried that their daughter wouldn't be able to get married in the future, this paper would not have been withdrawn.
Qi Shuanggui had no choice but to take out another twenty-tael silver note from his sleeve and gave it to Zhou Zhixian with a respectful smile.
Then he said with a bitter face: "Master Zhou, the common people really have limited financial resources. I hope you will understand me!"
Zhou Zhixian thought for a moment that thirty taels was almost enough, so he immediately ordered the clerk to find the paper sent by the Qi family and return it to Qi Shuanggui.
Qi Shuanggui took the paper back and left. As soon as he left the county government gate, he tore the paper into pieces. He stomped his feet angrily because he had lost thirty taels of silver in vain.
Shortly after the Qi family withdrew the lawsuit, Shi Miao was released from the county jail. He looked confused and didn't understand why he was released.
It wasn't until his wife came to greet him with her children that Shi Miao realized that it was Chai Yan's fault that he didn't become an eunuch.
After returning home, Shi Miao didn't even bother to wash her face and change clothes, so she knocked on the door of Chai Yan's house and had to kneel down and bow down as soon as she entered the yard.
Chai Yan quickly convinced Shi Miao and said to him with a smile: "Mr. Shi, don't thank me. Go and prepare to propose marriage. If it takes a long time, be careful of others changing their minds!"
"Proposing marriage? What kind of marriage are you proposing?" Shi Miao looked at Chai Yan in astonishment.
Chai Yan turned to look at Shi's sister-in-law and asked in surprise: "Sister-in-law, didn't you tell Mr. Shi about that matter?"
The sister-in-law of the Shi family immediately showed an embarrassed smile, her eyes flickered and she did not dare to look directly at her husband.
"Tell me, what is it? What does it have to do with proposing a marriage?" Mr. Shi didn't know why.
The sister-in-law of the Shi family didn't know how to speak. From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to add another woman to the family.
Chai Yan had no choice but to truthfully tell Mr. Shi the reason why the Qi family withdrew the lawsuit, and then he also introduced the fact that Miss Qi was a talented woman.
"You want me to marry Miss Qi? Is this appropriate?"
Mr. Shi was so shocked that he couldn't close his jaw. He never expected that things would end like this.
When the sister-in-law of the Shi family saw her husband being stunned for a long time and unable to recover, her heart suddenly felt warm and she begged, "Mr. Chai, must this be like this? Can you not marry me?"
Just as Chai Yan was about to reply, Mr. Shi said resolutely: "No! Marry, you must marry! I am a manly man, and I will never be the kind of person who crosses rivers and burns bridges, playing with gratitude and ungratefulness!"
Shi's sister-in-law's face suddenly froze, and then she burst into tears without any warning, then she hid her face and ran...
