Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

Xiang Yuan walked towards the government yamen house, and as soon as he reached the corridor, he saw Zhao Shen standing there in a water-blue robe, with a tall and straight figure and a gentle demeanor.

Quickly stepping forward to embrace Zhao Shen, Xiang Yuan quickly pecked Zhao Shen's side cheek while no one was paying attention, and praised with a smile: "This robe is good, it makes your eyebrows and eyes not so tough, and it is much more moist."

Zhao Shen's face became hot, and he tugged at the corner of his robe uncomfortably with his hands underneath, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously raised a nice arc, and changed the subject: "I came back from the outside, and all I heard was about Xiang Zhifu. Praise, it seems that you don't have to worry about your position as the magistrate being unstable."

Xiang Yuan laughed a few times, and walked in with Zhao Shen, and said: "I never worry that my seat will be unstable. For a good official like me who pleads for the people, the people's eyes are sharp, and they can be seen by thieves." Sure, how dare you let me go!"

Zhao Shen is now able to calmly deal with Xiang Yuan's boasting from time to time.Taking a look at him, seeing the confidence on his face, Zhao Shen also felt happy.Congzi's words seemed to be bragging, but in his opinion, they couldn't be more sincere.

Following Congzi from Quzhou to Tongping, Zhao Shen saw everything he did, and from time to time he rejoiced that what he was following was not a fat-bellied, greedy man who was bent on seeking profit, but an open-minded man. , indifferent to fame and wealth, a gentleman with good thoughts in his heart.

"Madam Zhao will come to the Yamen soon to sue Sun Jun when she arrives in Tongping."

"You went to see her?"

Zhao Shen nodded.

As soon as Mrs. Zhao arrived at Tongping Mansion, he rushed to meet her.Before Sun Jun, he expressed his doubts without reservation.Mrs. Zhao couldn't believe Zhao Xinlan's death, she was shocked and angry when she heard this, she didn't care to be in front of Zhao Shen, she burst into tears, screaming for Sun Jun's death, and immediately wanted to drive to the Yamen to beat the drums.Fortunately, Mr. Zhao, who was traveling with him, stopped Mrs. Zhao and tried to appease Mrs. Zhao, so Mrs. Zhao reluctantly agreed to visit Sun's residence first, and also took the opportunity to find out Sun Jun's reaction.

Xiang Yuan frowned: "Why is only Mr. Zhao following?"

Zhao Shen smiled sarcastically, and said: "Master Zhao doesn't want to offend the Sun family, he doesn't want Mrs. Zhao to come to Tongping Mansion, and the second son of Zhao came here to make friends with Sun Jun."

Well, it's just a good thing to say.Only Mrs. Zhao and Mr. Zhao felt sorry for Zhao Xinlan, so they decided to come and see her off. "

While the two were talking, the yamen servant in the front trotted over to report that someone was beating a drum and suing Sun Tong for killing his wife. Fan Tongzhi asked Xiang Zhifu to go ahead and make a decision.

Xiang Yuan patted Zhao Shen on the shoulder, wanting him to go back and rest first, but Zhao Shen was concerned, so he took him with him and placed him behind the screen to listen.

Mrs. Zhao didn't want to face her son-in-law, who she didn't think highly of, but was now a fourth-rank official, as a commoner, and she had mixed feelings for a while.Then thinking about what my daughter Zhao Xinlan had vaguely revealed in her previous letter, my heart ached even more unbearably.

Mr. Zhao is now a scholar. He does not kneel when he sees an official. He stands in the audience, clearly organized and articulate. He clarifies the doubts about Sun Jun's murder of his wife one by one. Finally, he asks Xiang Yuan to be the master for the people and give justice to the deceased.

Mrs. Zhao added: "My lord, a public trial!"

Xiang Yuan nodded calmly: "Madam, don't worry, if the facts are true, I will definitely not allow my subordinates to commit such a serious murder case and still get away with it! Someone, go ask Sun Tong to judge."

At this time, Sun Jun had learned from the family servant that Mrs. Zhao had taken Mr. Zhao to the magistrate's yamen, and sued him for killing his wife, so he was in a hurry in the house for a while.

The concubine Sun Jun brought from Lizhong was waiting at the side. Seeing him like a headless chicken, he bit his lips and suggested aloud: "Master, why don't you write to your uncle in Jingdu and ask him to make decisions for you?" !"

"Yes, yes, my second uncle is still here, so I'll write a letter right away. It's not that easy for Xiang Yuan to punish me!"

Sun Jun wrote the letter in a hurry. In the letter, he said that Xiang Yuan didn't like him. He wanted to kill him by taking advantage of his wife's death. He begged his second uncle to seek justice for him. Xiang Yuan, who came from a poor family, was oppressed!

After calling for his servants and repeatedly instructing him to send them to the capital quickly, Sun Jun let out a sigh of relief.

At this time, the butler came in from the outside, sweating profusely, and said anxiously: "Master, it's not good, the magistrate Xiang sent someone to tell the master to pass the court!"

Sun Jun stood up, straightened his robe, straightened his hair, and walked out the door with his head held high.

Zhao Xinlan has already been buried, and the second uncle who is far away in the capital will receive the letter from him two days later without any accidents.As a leader among the grandchildren of the Sun family, he believed that his second uncle would not ignore him.So, what is he afraid of?

Sure enough, when he arrived at the Yamen, Mrs. Zhao and Mr. Zhao accused him of killing his wife, but it was just doubts in his own mind, and there was no real evidence.Sun Jun looked sad, as if he couldn't believe Mrs. Zhao would doubt him.

"Prefect Xiang, Xiaosheng, please open the coffin for an autopsy!"

As soon as Mr. Zhao's words came out, Sun Jun's face changed, and he immediately retorted angrily: "Brother, how can you do this! Xinlan has been buried in the ground and is safe, but you want to disturb her for your own selfishness, I will never agree!"

"Sun Jun, if you don't agree, are you guilty? Xin Lan married into the Sun family for only three years, how could she want to hang herself because she hasn't seen anything for three years? Who would believe it?!"

Mrs. Zhao couldn't help rushing to Sun Jun, and asked him directly in the face.

Sun Jun was startled by Mrs. Zhao's menacing appearance, stood unsteadily, staggered back a few steps, and said sadly: "Mother-in-law, my son-in-law is also heartbroken for Xinlan's death, and I feel ashamed of you. I didn't take good care of Xinlan. But I'm sorry my son-in-law is hard to accept the words of killing his wife! Xinlan is my son-in-law's wife, and she has always been the most precious, how could my son-in-law do such a murderous thing!"

"Since you are open-minded, why don't you open the coffin for an autopsy! I am the mother of Xinlan, and if I can accept it, why don't you!"

"No, I absolutely do not agree!"

Sun Jun's face was livid and decisive.

"Just because my mother-in-law and eldest brother have doubts, I want to open the coffin for an autopsy on my first wife. This matter will get out, and I, Sun Jun, have no face to be an official!"

Xiang Yuan listened to Mrs. Zhao and Sun Jun on the stage arguing with each other. Two quarters of an hour later, the two were still arguing about whether they agreed to open the coffin for autopsy without any progress.

However, taking this opportunity, Xiang Yuan observed Sun Jun carefully.Although Sun Jun's words were turbulent, but in reality he was stern, his eyes were erratic, flickering, full of ghosts.

With a slight sneer, Xiang Yuan is not afraid to scare the snake, what he wants is to scare the snake.Zhao Xinlan's death was definitely strange. Sun Jun hurriedly buried her without waiting for Mrs. Zhao and Mr. Zhao to arrive. If she was suspected at this time, she must be in a state of confusion. Don't worry about finding a flaw.

Because there was no evidence on the Zhao family side, Sun Jun refused to agree to open the coffin, and kept yelling for grievances. After half an hour, Xiang Yuan left the hall.Mrs. Zhao and Mr. Zhao did not agree to live in the inner house of the yamen, but found an inn in the city by themselves.After Xiang Yuan turned to the screen, Zhao Shen was listening to Niu Er's words with a dignified expression.

"how?"

Xiang Yuan walked over, and Niu Er hurriedly saluted.

"My lord, Sun Jun really sent someone to head towards the capital."

Zhao Shen frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "The Sun family has someone who is an official in the capital as their backer. It may not be easy to punish him for offending him. If that person puts pressure on your Shangfeng, Congzi, it will be bad for you, right?" ?”

Xiang Yuan waved Niu Er back, slipped his hand, took Zhao Shen's right hand, pinched it, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "What I want is to let him write to the uncle in the capital for help, if that uncle really dares to reach out , hum, I'll chop it off!"

Seeing that his daughter-in-law still couldn't help worrying, Xiang Yuan pulled him back and approached him quietly and said, "Daughter-in-law, don't worry, Mr. Lin wrote a letter a while ago, and the court may not be peaceful these days. Now that they have fought to the end, there is only one straw that can crush them to death. The Sun family is a well-known steadfast faction on the side of the family. If something goes wrong in the Sun family, then this straw can completely crush the family and become a saint. Take power and make a good start."

Out of the corner of Zhao Shen's eyes, he saw a servant passing by, and suddenly wanted to withdraw his hand.Xiang Yuan only looked at him with a smile, but didn't let go.Zhao Shen earned two bucks, suffocating himself until his face burned, but his hand was still pinched in Xiang Yuan's.

"Someone!"

"There are people there all the time."

Xiang Yuan blinked his eyes with an innocent expression.

Speechlessly watching Xiang Yuan pretending to be stupid, Zhao Shen choked for a long while, then suddenly turned his back on the guest, turned his wrist, took Xiang Yuan's hand, and strode forward.

"Oh, I just remembered that there are guests waiting for you in the study, hurry up!"

The two of them were in front of each other, like a gust of wind blowing from the front office to the back house, a servant passed by, only to see Zhao Zhengjun pulling their Lord Xiang with an indomitable attitude, and rushing to the back, they couldn't help but froze in place.Some brains were distorted, and he thought secretly in his heart: As expected of the Zhengjun who has always dominated Mr. Xiang, he can be so domineering when he wants to do things!

And those servants who came from Quzhou, such as Qi Zhangshao, etc., stood together silently, and sighed together: Master Xiang and Zhengjun are really very affectionate!Just holding hands can make such a big noise!

Being dragged and rushed all the way, Xiang Yuan couldn't help laughing behind him.Zhao Shen looked back at him, dropped the corners of his mouth, let go of his hands, and looked around for no one, then cleared his throat, stepped forward to straighten Xiang Yuan's robe, straightened his crown, looked up and down, Seeing that everything was decent, he nodded.Raising his hand and seeing that Xiang Yuan was still smiling, he couldn't help stretching out both hands, pinching his left and right cheeks, pulling them out, and said viciously: "Smile, laugh, why are you laughing!"

"Wow up and down is your spicy wow throwing."

laugh!

Zhao Shen was amused, let go of his hand, thought for a while, stretched out his hand to rub him, and said, "What are you talking about!"

"I remembered that you dragged me to run during the township examination. The wind was so strong that the corners of my robe were blown up. Fortunately, I was wearing trousers, otherwise I would have disappeared in the street! Then I don't have to wait for the middle school to understand Yuan, and I will leave in Nanling City." Great name."

After being told by Xiang Yuan, Zhao Shen also recalled that Congzi, who was very particular about appearance at that time, was dragged and ran all the way by him, and in the end the hair crown was crooked, and the clothes were flying.However, looking at Xiang Yuan with a smile, Zhao Shen's heart was filled with tenderness.Congzi, who cared so much about his own image at the time, didn't see any annoyance on his face afterwards, only gentle doting.

"Master Xiang!"

The two were looking at each other affectionately, but they were suddenly interrupted by someone. Xiang Yuan turned his head and stared at Zhou Qinglin who was shouting loudly.

Qin Mian came out from behind him, stood in front of Zhou Qinglin, and bowed his hands in salute.

Seeing that it was the two of them, Xiang Yuan looked at Zhao Shen inquiringly.

"I called here. I plan to open a silkie-based restaurant in Tongping Prefecture, and I asked the couple to come and discuss it."

Taking advantage of the gap between Xiang Yuan and his wife's conversation, Zhou Qinglin rubbed his arms and leaned into Qin Mian's ear, whispering, "Master Xiang's eyes were so scary just now, I was so scared that I got goosebumps."

Qin Mian glanced at him, and said in his heart: You have no eyesight, you are stupid, I was desperate, and I didn't stop you, you stupid big man!Didn't you see that the husband and wife are in love with each other?You have to run out and yell, that narrow-minded Xiang Yuan, it's very light to scare you with his eyes.

Knowing that it was his daughter-in-law who came to discuss matters, Xiang Yuan thought he had nothing to do, but as soon as he turned around, he heard Qin Mian solemnly say from behind: "Master Xiang, if you are free, can you spare some time for Xiaomin? If Xiaomin wants to report!"

Xiang Yuan looked at Zhao Shen and saw his bewildered face, then looked at Zhou Qinglin and saw his bewildered face, so he knew that this matter was only Qin Mian's idea.

Thinking about it, thinking of Qin Mian's special background, Xiang Yuan couldn't help but dignified, nodded, and led him to the study.

Outside, Zhao Shen looked at Zhou Qinglin, both of them lost their mood for a moment.Sitting down in the pavilion, the servants served tea and snacks, the two were absent-minded and silent.
