Chapter 173: Honest Officials Difficult to Break Housework (Part 2)(1/2)

"Young Master, the land belongs to our family..."

Cao Hua's eyes signaled Han'er without saying anything. Seeing Qi Yan, the official family, coming, he had actually guessed it.

Qi Yan was in his forties and looked calm. He wore a housekeeper's robe and ran to the Grand Master's chair with a bit of embarrassment on his face:

"Mr. Cao is a little bit uneasy. Why don't we go back first?"

Qi Yan is working for the Wu'an Hou Mansion. In the past few days, he is naturally the most affordable industry with the lowest amount of money and the smallest amount of money to buy.

Qi Yan is from Jiangnan, so these small matters are naturally entrusted to small officials in the capital. I originally saw that there were 100 acres of fertile land in Luojiazhuang, so there was no problem communicating with the Luo family, but there were more than ten acres of land in the middle that belonged to the Liu family, and it was not very good to put it in the middle.

Even in Jiangnan, the royal mansion likes a good piece of land, and there is one piece of land belonging to someone else's house, so it is bought or exchanged with the other party. Farmers rarely sell ancestral land, and most of them are replaced, but they are just handed over to small officials to do it. There are inevitably some twists and turns in it.

As Qi Yan's identity, he naturally knew it clearly, but after the last account book was checked out, he did not dare to touch the oil and water on it again, and could only get a hundred taels of silver from below to subsidize his family income.

Not much of it is considered a conventional rule, and it is not a big deal, but it certainly cannot be put on the table.

Now that he was discovered by Prince Cao, Qi Yan naturally planned to make a small matter. He asked Prince Cao to go home first and he would solve it himself.

If King Kang discovered this kind of thing, he would not take it seriously at all. He thought that the infamous Prince Cao would not be serious about this little thing.

Seeing Qi Yan say this, Cao Hua frowned and raised his hand to point at the corpse hanging on the archway:

"What you mean is that I fell in love with the Liu family's property, so I instigated the Luo family to use inferior products as good people, and accidentally forced Mr. Liu to death?"

"That's not what the little one means."

Qi Yan quickly bowed to apologize: "It's a small mischief, it's just... it's just such a thing..."

After hearing this for a moment, Mr. Luo suddenly realized that it was the flood that had washed away the Dragon King Temple. He quickly looked up and said, "Sir, misunderstanding! The little old man is doing his job for the adults. The Liu family is seeking death by themselves, but we can't blame him."

The members of the Liu family who had been waiting for a long time were stunned when they heard the conversations of several people. The women and children started crying again in an instant, but Liu Wu gritted his teeth and said nothing, lowering his head and unable to hide his aggrievance.

I thought I had hoped for a blue sky, but I didn't expect that the big man who fell in love with his property went to the wrong door.

But if you have no power and power, you can't speak in front of more than a hundred officers and soldiers, and you will suffer a loss. If you are implicating the whole family, wouldn't it be a disaster?

Han'er hesitated for a moment and spoke softly: "Young Master...why leave this matter to Butler Qi to deal with?"

Cao Hua turned his head and looked at Qi Yan: "Do you know about the forgery of Tian Qi?"

"this..."

Being stared at the pair of eagle-like eyes, Qi Yan's forehead sweated and nodded, without any intention of hiding it: "The little one did take fifty taels of silver from the Luo family, but he didn't expect that the Liu family would be so unconscious..."

"Twenty hip sticks." Cao Hua raised his hand.

Qi Yan's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, with a little incredible: "Mr. Prince Consort, I'm young to do your business..."

The two Black Feather Guards behind him were also hesitant and had no intention of taking action.

After all, they are all their own family members. The princess has been hated by the official family of the Marquis’s mansion. The princess dared not deal with the governor, but she dared not deal with them.

Seeing this, Cao Hua frowned and looked back at the two black feather guards: "What? My words are useless?"

"I dare not do it in a humble position!"

The two black feather guards immediately turned pale and hurriedly ran forward and pressed Qi Yan to the ground.

Qi Yan's face was no longer respectful and peaceful, and he was a little angry and frightened: "Monkey King Cao, I am the one of King Kang. I will do my job for you. How can you...ah..."

The wooden stick was swung down, and the screams sounded, and the skin was blooming in an instant.

Everyone was silent, and even the people from the Liu family dared not cry. They just watched the luxuriously dressed butler get beaten with a board, and they didn't understand what the Marquis meant.

Han'er was a little anxious. After all, Qi Yan was the princess's confidant. How could he explain to the princess when he was so merciless?

She gritted her teeth and owed, "Young Master, forget it..."

Cao Hua stood up and walked to the Liu family, looking at the women, children, and young:

"What happened today is that I am incompetent to discipline my subordinates. I am sorry for Mr. Liu's death, but I will definitely not be able to compensate me. This matter will be converted into double gold and silver to compensate the Liu family. You can take down the body and find a place to bury it."

The members of the Liu family hesitated for a moment, but they dared to say no, nodded in timidly and took down the corpse on the archway.

Cao Hua looked back at Luo Yuanwai: "I will pay compensation to you, but I won't be an example, do you have any objections?"

After all, Mr. Liu was so angry that he could not hang himself. It would be useless to beat him, and he could only punish him with real punishment.

Seeing that the butler was beaten and his eyes were turned pale, Luo Yuanwai was so scared that he nodded quickly: "The little old man understands that he will never dare to do such things again in the future."

The young official named Wu was so scared that he didn't dare to speak, but just knelt in the crowd and shivered.

Cao Hua turned his head and looked at him: "As the imperial court ordered an official to assist in the embezzlement of private land, he was responsible for this matter and took it back and dealt with it according to the law."

When Wu County Magistrate heard this, his face turned pale and he knelt down and crawled a few steps: "Governor forgives his crimes, humble position...human position is also for you..."

"Who the hell do you do for?"

Cao Hua grabbed Wu County Magistrate's collar and picked him up: "Don't think that you can do whatever you want by doing things for me, Cao Hua. I need you to show your diligence?"

The Wu County Magistrate couldn't breathe, his whole body trembled, and he didn't even dare to struggle.

Cao Hua was like carrying a chicken, looking at many black feather guards and housekeeper Qi Yan in a blink of an eye:

"This is the last time. Let me find out that someone is doing private work under my name. Don't blame me for being merciless."

Hei Yuwei stood straight and did not dare to neglect at all.

Qi Yan cried out in a sarcastic voice and nodded repeatedly.

Cao Hua threw the man to the ground, causing Wuxiancheng to groan, and then he quickly turned over and knelt on the ground.

"Walk!"

Hei Yuwei breathed a sigh of relief, and followed the carriage to leave Luojiazhuang with the mourning Qi Yan.

On the way, Han'er got into the carriage, looked at the young master with a pale face, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Why are you so angry today?"

Cao Hua leaned in the carriage and rubbed his forehead: "The family business is big, and this kind of thing is inevitable. If you don't kill the chicken to scare the monkey, those officials who take advantage of loopholes will inevitably emerge one after another, and you still don't know what kind of ridiculous things will happen."

Han'er nodded and looked at Qi Yan who was being put on the horse's back and was furious: "Butler Qi... After all, he is his family. The young master's punishment is too heavy, the princess..."

"I'll explain to the princess."

"Oh..." Han'er nodded after all, without saying much.

------

After entering the city, Cao Hua returned to Diankui as his post, while the housekeeper Qi Yan was sent back to the mansion of Wu'an Marquis.

Qi Yan was beaten and brought back his flesh, and the entire Wu'an Marquis Mansion was in chaos.

Zhao Tianluo hurriedly ran out of the back house and saw Butler Qi lying on a stretcher wailing, and his eyes showed a little annoyed:

"Who is so bold to hit the people from the Marquis of Wu'an?"

The guard had heard the news and walked to the front and looked embarrassed: "It's... it was the beating of Prince Cao."

"What?"

Zhao Tianluo was stunned, her eyes full of incredibleness. She turned her head and said, "Why do you want to hit the butler?"

The guard thought about it and then told him the causes and consequences of the period.

After hearing this, Zhao Tianluo frowned, but could not see any joy or anger. He just looked at Qi Yan and turned around and returned to the back house.

Hu Lan and Qi Yan are husband and wife, almost crying. Holding Qi Yan with a pale face, she said in anger: "Mr. Cao is really unkind, they are all their own family..."

Qi Yan was beaten to the slap. At this time, what dared to say about Cao Hua again, but he just said sadly: "I, Qi Yan, do things for the Marquis of Wu'an. Even if there is a small mistake, I should not punish you in public. Oh... I didn't do it well, which embarrassed Prince Cao..."

Hu Lan felt quite resentful. After looking around, she saw that there were no outsiders, she said resentfully: "The Prince Cao is not a honest official and loyal minister. She acted like a fool but was so ruthless to her family. It's really... The princess was so tolerant of him, raising a little fox outside, but pretended to be selfless at this time..."

Qi Yanzheng sighed and frowned when he heard this: "Is there anything wrong?"

"I and the girl saw it with their own eyes, how could there be any false?"

Hu Lan was already resentful, and was even more angry at this time: "I saw it at Baota Temple yesterday. Prince Cao had a bad temper. The princess knew that she could only swallow her anger... Humph, she was ashamed of the princess, and now she was all serious about the princess' people. In the future, the fox charming boy entered the door and was not allowed to ride on the princess' head..."

twitter.

Several maids also talked about what they saw yesterday...

-----

In the afternoon.

After finishing the business of Diankuis, Cao Hua returned to the mansion and was dark. The two maids Yutang and Luzhu were teaching the new maids to play mahjong. They were both young maids who were not old and were easy to deceive. Yutang lost a few times on purpose, and then attracted a lot of people to come over. Judging from his appearance, he was about to start cutting leeks.

Han'er was so angry when she saw this scene that she hurriedly ran over to give Yutang a set of legs and waist three times. Xiaoyutang cried and asked the young master for help.

Cao Hua naturally ignored it and went straight to the study room of the back house.

Zhao Tianluo was sitting behind the desk, looking at the account book absent-mindedly.

"My wife."

He knocked on the door at the door, walked into the room, dragged a stool, and sat down next to her.

Zhao Tianluo only came to his senses, put down his brush, and nodded slightly:

"My husband is back."

Cao Hua waved his hand and asked the maid to leave, and then he spoke: "Luoer, I'm not a good person, but I still have to explain some things to you..."
