【162】Summer

Hua Moxi was considering what to do, but she heard someone coming outside to report that an old man was holding a bunch of letters and land deeds, hoping to see Hua Moxi.

Since Hua Moxi tied up those people, she has temporarily lived in the county government office. On the one hand, she guarded the people who were tied up, and on the other hand, she also made the wives and concubines of the county magistrate dare not act rashly. Some of the men hired to tie up people voluntarily stayed to help, and the person in charge of spreading the news was a man named Liu Wenhan.

Liu Wenhan was originally a scholar, but after being bullied by the county magistrate, the scholar's fame was deprived of his reputation and could only stay at home to farm. This time, when the county magistrate fell, he was excited and ran errands for Hua Moxi for free. Perhaps because of his study, he was very well-organized in his work, and Hua Moxi was more willing to use him.

"See you then."

The old man's hair was all white, and he looked about sixty or seventy years old. As soon as he walked in, he knelt on the ground, "Good life, the hero, my son is just an accountant, I really didn't do anything harmful to the world. You are a lot of people, so let me go."

"Who is your son and who did the account?" Hua Moxi also met several people who came to plead for mercy in the past two days. Some of them were related to interests, while others were family members of criminals.

Hua Moxi did not make too difficult for these people. She just registered all the things stated by these people. If she could investigate, she would wait for someone to take over if she could not. If she found out that she was really innocent, she would let go and let the person go directly.

"My son's name is Xuhui. When he was young, he went to school. He could read and write, and he also knew some counting. When the boss of the Qingshan Gang saw that my son was honest, he forced him to manage the accounts." The old man probably also had a bit of literature and spoke very well. In his narrative, his son was very innocent and was really stolen.

"Liu Wenhan, go and bring Xu Hui here."

"yes!"

Xu Hui was wearing a long gown and looked literary. He did not look like those rogues, but he might not be innocent, because this man was following the boss of the Qingshan Gang at the beginning, not like an accountant, but like a dog-headed military advisor.

"My son!" The old man's eyes were red and he was very excited.

"Dad!" The man was also a little excited, but his eyes were dark, not as unscheming as he seemed.

Hua Moxi saw all this and sighed slightly in her heart. It’s a pity that parents in the world are not good enough. If their children are not successful, they will have no choice but to go the right path.

"Kingman, my son is really wronged. You, please let me go. This is the letter and land deed from the Qingshan Gang, and it is all handed over to you." The old man presented the box in his hand and said with a pleading look on his face.

Although Hua Moxi lacked a shop and many people knew about it, it was impossible for her to accept such things at such a time.

"Old man, whether your son was wronged or not needs to be verified." Hua Moxi's tone was faint, giving people a bad premonition.

The old man's eyes flashed, and he knelt down again, "Please, knight, my son is forced. He is pure by nature and is really not a bad person."

Xu Hui also knelt down and begged for mercy and said, "King, I am really wronged. I am just an accountant. Even if I know some things, I didn't do it."

"It was not what you did, but it might be done according to your idea." Hua Moxi looked at Xu Hui with a very affirmative tone.

A hint of panic flashed in Xu Hui's eyes, and it was obvious that Hua Moxi had guessed correctly.

It’s also a big mistake for Xu Hui to be not low-key enough. He was obviously a military advisor, but he insisted on rushing to the front line, so that Hua Moxi didn’t even need to investigate, so he remembered his face.

"No, I did nothing, I am really innocent." Xu Hui was still quibbling.

Hua Moxi ignored him and looked at the old man beside him, "You see, your son is not innocent. If you don't believe it, just wait for Marshal Jin to send someone to investigate, and there will always be a result."

In fact, the evidence is easy to find, but Hua Moxi is too lazy to do it, and she doesn't even want to waste a bottle of real medicine.

And does the old man really not know what his son did? Hua Moxi doesn't think so, but she just doesn't want to go into it. Otherwise, she might be able to capture an accomplice who knows and does not report it, or even an accomplice.

The old man was sent away in a daze, and Xu Hui, the accountant who helped the evil, was also detained. Hua Moxi looked at the boxes of letters and real estate deeds, and had an idea in her mind.

About three days later, the officials sent by Marshal Jin finally arrived in Qianqiu County, and he had obviously received the advice of Marshal Jin. When he saw Hua Moxi, he was respectful and enthusiastic.

"See Marquis Hua, the subordinate of Jin Huanling, and temporarily appointed as the magistrate of Qianqiu County." Jin Huanling looked at a middle-aged man with a gentle and kind heart.

"Since you are here, I'll leave it to you." Hua Moxi pointed to the pile of things beside her, all of which were related information and evidence collected in the past few days. This was not something she had deliberately searched for, but was sent by someone one after another.

"Okay, the official will definitely take a serious trial." Jin Huanling bowed to Hua Moxi again.

Hua Moxi didn't care, so she took out a real estate deed that had been prepared and said, "This is the real estate deed of the Qingshan Gang's old nest, two thousand taels, I want it."

Two thousand taels are considered a higher market price. Hua Moxi didn't want to take advantage of it, but just wanted to start first.

When Jin Huanling heard this, he would not agree. "The Marshal gave the order, you have made contributions to suppressing bandits, and this house is a reward for you."

Hua Moxi thought about it, but rejected the proposal and changed the way of rewarding and said, "I bought the house. If it is rewarding, I will see that there is a wasteland in the northern suburbs of Qianqiu County, which looks about a hundred acres, so I will be treated as rewards."

Jin Hualing thought that it was okay to send it to Hua Moxi, but seeing Hua Moxi's serious attitude, he thought of Marshal Jin's advice and smiled and said, "It's good, the marquis is righteous."

More than a hundred acres of wasteland can be sold for about two or three hundred taels, which is indeed a loss for Hua Moxi.

Hua Moxi smiled but didn't say anything, took two more sips of tea, and said goodbye and left.

With a new house, Hua Moxi still needs to recruit people to build it, but now she has a few available people around her, so she has recruited them together and discussed the issue of employment.

"I lack some long-term workers here, maybe I am taking care of the house, maybe I am responsible for various matters of the shop, and there are many types of work. If you are interested, you can consider it." She has observed carefully that these people have good character and are quite reliable in their work.

"No need to think about it, I agree now!" What's the point of thinking about this kind of good thing? He is not stupid!
