Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"If Hejian County can stop and turn over a new leaf because of this, it will be considered a good thing our family has done." Xiao Lan said to Sheng Xuan.

These days, Xiaolan and Xiaowen have been telling Shengxuan the pros and cons of this matter. Shengxuan has also accepted the reality and supports the siblings' approach.

But this matter involved a lot of things, far beyond their expectations.

That day, Lu Wu's brothers, as well as Manager Bao and his family, all came along.

When Xiao Lan saw their scene and their faces, she knew that something must have happened in Hejian County...

After all, the Lu family had been doing business with Hejian County and their county. The news was first-hand, and after Zhao entrusted them to pay attention to the family in Hejian County, they paid more attention.

"Something happened in Hejian County..." As expected, Zhao started talking as soon as she entered the door.

Xiao Lan expected something to happen in Hejian County, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and it looked quite serious.

"What, what happened?" Sheng Xuan was obviously a little nervous and asked stutteringly.

The Lu brothers exchanged glances and told what happened in Hejian County...

It turned out that Hejian County also wanted to promote corn planting, and the task issued by the provincial government was to officially distribute corn seeds at a unified price.

but……

Xiao Lan's family all knew what happened next. Sheng Kai of Hejian County, under the name of Sheng Nuo, together with Pang Fei, raised the price of corn seeds to make huge profits.

"Is it just because of the corn seeds?" Xiao Lan asked.

"It's not just this one, there are so many charges that we can't remember them all." Lu Wu said. "Here is a notice. I took it down before I left." Lu Wu said as he took out a notice from his arms.

Xiaowen unfolded the notice, and the more he read, the more his brows furrowed.

Xiao Lan also ran over to see what was written on the notice. Words such as control of prisons, private settlement of murder cases, and corrupt officials gradually came into her sight.

Although she had been mentally prepared, she still broke out in a cold sweat when she saw this. These charges were not light.

When she calmly read it again, she realized that this notice was to confirm Sheng Nuo's crime.

Sheng Nuo has been in real power in Hejian County for just over a year, but he has been able to achieve so many "achievements" in such a short period of time, which is really astonishing.

"What...what's written on it?" Sheng Xuan asked anxiously when he saw Xiaowen and Xiaolan looked unhappy after reading the notice.

This notice only announced the crime, and there was no final conviction. All these various charges added up to some exaggeration and adding insult to injury, but Sheng Nuo's acceptance of bribes, control of the prison, and corruption and bribery should be true.

Xiao Wen told Sheng Xuan and Zhang the general meaning of the notice, and finally said, "This is a serious crime!"

Hearing this, Sheng Xuan and Zhang's faces turned pale.

"Is this a capital crime?" Sheng Xuan asked tremblingly.

"Dad, don't be anxious. You'll end up in trouble..." Xiao Lan said.

"That's right, Dad. Something happened in Hejian County. No matter how anxious you are, it won't quench your thirst. Our whole family depends on you." Xiao Wen said.

"Dad, you don't look very good. How about I help you lie down on the kang for a while?" Xiao Lan said again.

Zhang was still in a daze, but when she heard her daughter and son say this, she immediately came to her senses. She quickly turned to look at Sheng Xuan, and seeing that his face did not look good, she became anxious.

"Daddy, please don't scare me. Daddy, our family has finally gotten back on track...you have to hold on..." Zhang said as she calmed Sheng Xuan down.

Sheng Xuan was just a little anxious and angry. In fact, he was in very good health. When his wife and children showed concern for him, he just felt that his family members were making a fuss out of nothing. He himself did not feel any other problems.

"I'm fine, I'm really fine. Look how scared you guys are." Sheng Xuan forced a smile, but it turned out to be uglier than crying.

"Dad, please don't be careless. Our family still depends on you." Xiao Lan said hurriedly, "Sister, please go into the house and find some quick-acting heart-saving pills for Dad. Let him take some..."

"Oh," Xiaoting replied, and then quickly went back to the house to find medicine.

After a while, Xiaoting came running over and handed a small bottle to Shengxuan. Shengxuan poured out two pills from it. At this time, Zhang also brought the water over. Then, under the concerned eyes of the family, he swallowed the pills with water.

Seeing Sheng Xuan finish taking the medicine, Xiao Lan asked Zhang to take two pills as well, and then asked Xiao Ting to take the medicine bottle.

The medicine in this small medicine bottle was specially given to Xiaowen by the Shen family when she visited them last time. It is said that this prescription was obtained from the Empress. This kind of pill has the effect of relieving gas, stimulating appetite, and calming the mind. Although it cannot cure any disease, it is very effective for heart discomfort and heatstroke.

How could farmers understand these things? They only know to take medicine when they are sick. How could they know that medicine can also regulate the body?

Seeing this scene, the Lu brothers and Bao's family naturally kept comforting them, "Something happened over there, no matter how anxious you are, it will not help... You still have to take care of yourselves, if not for anything else, just for the sake of your children at home, you have to hold on..."

"Besides, this matter is different from other matters. This is not a private matter..."

Sheng Xuan took the medicine and became more energetic. "What's going on in Hejian County... Hey, I'm just worried about the child's grandfather and grandmother..."

"Every country has its own laws, every family has its own rules. If they really committed a crime, then there is nothing I can do. I really don't have the face to speak for the upper house. I am just worried about the old man and the old lady. They are now very old, and they have to suffer with me..."

Sheng Xuan's words were very well said. Even if Xiao Lan said it now, it would probably be the same. It can be seen that Sheng Xuan is a decent person at heart, but he has not lost his filial piety.

"What's the situation over there now?" Sheng Xuan asked again.

The Lu brothers only found out that the county magistrate's family, regardless of gender, age or status, had all been taken into custody and thrown into jail, waiting to be convicted.

"The information we have inquired about is just that they have incurred public anger. The case is still under trial and the charges have not been finalized yet."
