Chapter 292: smoothly
Chapter 292 Good luck
Xue Mingyu understood what Master Tian meant and said directly: "The old slave is old and has not been in good spirits recently. He can't take care of that much. The adults can make the decision on the affairs of the Gao family. As for the wealth that the Gao family has sought, if we can get it back, Come on, I don’t want it, I’ll give it all to the county government.”
Before Magistrate Gao left office, he sold all his properties in Tianfu County, and his Xue family’s ancestral home and property were long gone.
And since Magistrate Xu took care of the Sun family so readily, he had to show some sincerity. He can't take all of this family's wealth, he can just take a little of it.
Seeing Xue Mingyu come to the road, Master Tian smiled and said, "Mr. Xue is indeed very righteous. Don't worry, the Sun family and the Gao family will not end well."
Xue Mingyu felt relieved after hearing this. After thanking Master Tian, he said he wanted to thank Team Leader Yang and the others, and was allowed to enter the county government office.
Actually, the person Xue Mingyu wanted to thank was not Bantou Yang, but Luo Wu, or Jiang, Shang, and Gu.
It was the Gu family who discovered his existence, the Shang family who found him, and the Jiang family who helped him resolve the old case and avenge himself.
Botou Yang and Luo Wu had to deal with the Sun family's affairs, so they didn't have much time to talk to Xue Mingyu. Xue Mingyu said thank you and left. But he was thinking that after a month, when the matter was settled, he would have to bring generous gifts and visit the Jiang, Shang, Gu, and Luo families to thank them.
The whole Sun family was arrested, and Sun Fuxiong was removed from his position as head of the village. Soon the news spread throughout Tianfu County. Some of the dismissed district chiefs were unconvinced and were planning to lead the villagers to cause trouble, but because of the Sun family's incident, they all stopped thinking.
Those who have grown insides, which one is clean? Judging from Magistrate Xu's attitude, he is determined to remove half of the county's li chiefs. If you don't accept it, Sun li chief's fate will be there, waiting to be eliminated.
Because of the Sun family's affairs, the county's evacuation of half a mile was going very smoothly. It was originally planned to be a fuss for about half a month, but in the end, the matter was completed in less than three days. It was extremely smooth.
County Magistrate Xu was so happy that he hummed a ditty. On the third day, he sent an official document to the prefect's Yamen, removing sixteen li chiefs from the county. Not one of the removed li chiefs was dissatisfied, and even signed a letter of approval. The matter, as well as the lawsuits of the Sun family, Gao family, and Xue family, were reported to the prefect's Yamen.
After reading the official document, the magistrate of He'an Prefecture became more and more interested. He immediately summoned the remaining county magistrates of He'an Prefecture and asked them to follow the example of Tianfu County and remove half of the county's li chiefs to reduce expenditures in Da Chu.
When the other county magistrates learned about this, they cursed Magistrate Xu in their hearts. This Xu Chongfeng, who had been soft-spoken for so many years, was about to be transferred, and suddenly they came like this...removing half of Da Chu's li chiefs, it was a loss. He dared to bring it up!
However, these county magistrates only dare to complain in their hearts, and publicly write letters to praise the county magistrate and congratulate him in advance for his promotion.
County Magistrate Xu was a magistrate. He wrote letters to each county magistrate to accuse him, and also gave generous gifts to appease all the magistrates in He'an Prefecture.
Xu County Magistrate informed the magistrate of his plans to appease the county magistrates, which was a disguised explanation that he had not formed a clique for personal gain.
The prefect received Magistrate Xu’s letter and praised Magistrate Xu with his staff: “This Xu Chongfeng is not only a blockbuster, he is also quite good at being a good person.”
At this point, the prefect has finally remembered Xu Chongfeng. Xu County Magistrate was later promoted to a higher position and became an official in the capital, all starting from this time.
…
When news about the Sun family reached Dafeng Village, the villagers were really shocked.
"Then the eldest son of the Sun family has been defeated like this? It seems that people still can't do bad things. The sins committed by the old man of the Sun family must be repaid by future generations."
"What's the point of repaying it? That Chief Sun is not a good person. He has done a lot of bad things over the years by taking advantage of the name of the Chief. Every year when collecting grain taxes, every household should not give him an extra ten yuan." He is responsible for six villages and so many households. He can feed himself with just one kilogram of grain from our mouths every year. I heard that he can’t finish it all and even sells it.” Not to mention the tax, which was real money, with an extra ten cents per son. With six villages and so many men, he could make a fortune every year, and there were also corvees, so he could make another fortune. "
"The most hateful thing is to take money and harm people. Huang Hezi's family in Huangshan Village, when Huang Hezi broke his leg the year before last, he happened to be a slave and couldn't go. He only had a son and was afraid that his son would not come back. I gave Sun Fuxiong two taels of silver and asked him to help mark the name of his only seedling."
"After Sun Fuxiong collected two taels of silver, he said it was not enough and wanted to add another one tael. The Huang family had no choice but to collect the money. Before they could collect it, the day of departure was approaching. Sun Fuxiong took away the only seedling from Huanghezi's family. No, the two taels of silver were not returned to the Huanghezi family."
“Fortunately, the boy from the Huang family just got sick and his life was saved. Otherwise, the Huanghezi family would have been extinct.”
Everyone in Dafeng Village is talking about the Sun family, and the third grandmother is also talking to Cui and Gu Daya.
Gu Jinli was preparing the braised sauce next to him and listened a lot. When I heard rumors in the county town about Sun Youqian's affair with Widow Zhou, I felt heartbroken. I went to the matchmaker's sisters to spread the news that Sun Youqian had stolen the widow. She had spent six taels of silver on each of them.
However, the Sun family was given a heavy sentence, which made her feel happy and felt that the six taels of silver were well spent.
“That Sun Youqian is really nothing. I have never seen such a beast in all my years of living!” When the third grandmother found out about Sun Youqian’s affair with Widow Zhou and Xu Lianzi, she was so angry that she felt disgusted and unlucky.
"Third Grandma, don't be angry. The Sun family has already suffered. It's not worth getting angry with them anymore." Gu Jinli had already prepared the brine and called to Gu Daya and his daughter: "Auntie, Cousin Le, let's go to the kitchen to boil the brine. Braised flavor.”
He then said to the Third Grandma: “Third Grandma, let’s eat braised food tonight, and keep your favorites.”
Third Grandma said: "I love eating. It's both meat and eggs. How can I not love it?"
The third grandma's heart ached so much when she thought of the meat in the kitchen. But that was what Daya and her family needed to survive from now on, so they felt less distressed. They only told Gu Daya and her daughter: "Daya, Le Yatou, you have to study hard."
It costs money to make braised meat.
“Don’t worry, Third Bonnie/Grandma Third, we will definitely learn to make sure we don’t waste meat.” Gu Daya and Qi Kangle agreed, picked up their spice bags, and followed Gu Jinli to the kitchen to learn how to make braised meat.
“The most important thing in making braised food is the marinade. Only when the marinade is well prepared can the meat and vegetable dishes be delicious.”
"But it's not easy to make the marinade well. This is the marinade I prepared. There are six marinade recipes in total. Each marinade recipe contains at least fifteen spices. You must remember the types and amounts of these spices. Stay."
These six kinds of brine recipes are used for braised vegetables, braised chicken, duck and pork, braised pig trotters, braised seafood, braised mutton, and braised beef.
One pot of marinade cannot brine everything. If you want to make the marinade well, you have to use different recipes and brine them separately. Otherwise, the food will smell bad.
