Chapter 165: Songjiang Xu Family
"Is the matter settled?"
At the concierge of a luxurious mansion, a middle-aged man sitting on a chair put down the teacup in his hand and asked casually.
"Back to Butler Xu, I have already taken care of the situation, and I came here to report it to Master Young Master!"
"It's just a few troublemakers who make false accusations, so there's no need to alarm the master? You can go back. If there is such a trivial matter in the future, just handle it yourself. The master will know!"
Glancing at the magistrate who was standing bowed in front of him, the middle-aged man known as "Guard Xu" waved his hand impatiently.
"Yes, yes, I understand. Thank you Butler Xu for your advice!"
Being ordered around by a housekeeper like a servant, the magistrate, who claimed to be a lower official, was not angry but happy, and actually withdrew with a respectful look on his face.
"Hey, you want to take credit for such a trivial matter? Don't even look at where this place is!"
Glancing at the magistrate who was leaving, the middle-aged man known as Butler Xu sneered disdainfully.
The dignified magistrate of the county could not even enter the gate, and could only be scolded in the concierge like a servant. If people from other places saw this scene, I don't know how many jaws would drop!
However, in Songjiang Mansion and Huating County, where the city is governed, this is a normal thing. There is no way, who called the owner of Xu Mansion Xu Jie?
As the chief minister of the former dynasty, his students and former officials are all over the world, and even the current chief minister is his student. With such an official background, the Xu family is a standard powerful party in Songjiang Prefecture, especially in Huating County.
, a proper local emperor!
It can be said that as an official in the Songjiang Mansion, you don't have to take the emperor's words seriously, but you can't turn a deaf ear to the Xu Mansion's words! Otherwise, you won't be able to survive as an official.
At this point, even the famous 'Haigang Peak' has failed! This shows how prestigious the Xu family is in Songjiang Mansion!
…
"Father, judging by the time, it should be almost done? Why is there still no news coming? Could it be that Zhao Yu...?"
In the beautifully and elegantly decorated study room, looking at the old man with slightly closed eyes behind the desk, Xu Fan, who was in his fifties, couldn't help but asked with a hint of worry.
"Why are you so anxious? Keep calm, what is supposed to come will come!"
While speaking, the ancient man had his eyes slightly closed before. As he opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed through his cloudy eyes.
Needless to say, this old man is Xu Jie Xu Zisheng who defeated Yan Song back then!
"Haha, brother, there is no need to worry. Not to mention that Zhao Yu's family is still in our hands. As for the things he has done, if someone finds out, it will be considered a light thing to chop him ten times!"
Thinking that his eldest brother was worried that Zhao Yu would betray them, Xu Jie's second son Xu Kun, who was about forty years old, smiled confidently.
"Haha, father, it's not that my son is impatient. It's just that he has recently taken a liking to a batch of fertile fields and wants to wait until the news from Beijing is confirmed before buying them!"
Thinking of those good fertile fields, Xu Fan couldn't help but feel excited. In fact, since Xu Jie became an official, the amount of land occupied by the Xu family in the past ten years has been very huge, almost reaching one-tenth of the entire Songjiang Prefecture.
Four hundred thousand acres!
You must know that Yan Song, who was portrayed as a "mega-corrupt" by Xu Jie, only had more than 20,000 acres of farmland in a "poor" place in Jiangxi that could not be compared with Songjiang.
But even so, Xu Jie and his son's greed for land still had no end. Even when Zhang Juzheng had begun to clear out acres of land across the country, they still did not stop. It was just that their methods were more secretive.
"I think there will be some news in the next two days, so there's no harm in accepting it!"
Sure enough, after just thinking for a moment, Xu Jie nodded and took the fields into his hands again.
"Haha, brother, I think you have become less and less courageous recently! Our Xu family is just buying a piece of land to occupy our children, what are we afraid of?"
"Second brother, today is different from the past! Now that the imperial court's clearance of the father-in-law's land is coming to an end, we'd better be careful at this juncture!"
"Haha, with Zhao Yu's withered hemorrhoids, the court may have been in chaos by now. They are all busy fighting for power and profit, who is still in the mood to care about the husband's land?"
As Wang Bing and the little fat man expected, the mastermind behind the murder of Zhang Juzheng through medical treatment was indeed Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng's teacher.
"Oh, uncle, I had a fight with my teachers and students, but I didn't expect that we would end up like this!"
Hearing Xu Kun mention Ku Zhi Powder again, maybe it was because of his conscience, or because of crocodile tears. In short, Xu Jie, a teacher, couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Father, there is no need to blame yourself. My uncle's new policy has gone astray. You are doing this for the sake of the common people in the world."
Yes, it is obvious that he did such despicable and dirty things for his own selfish reasons, but he still put on the cloak of serving the country and the people.
"Brother is right, why should father worry about such a trivial matter? What we are doing is cleaning up the mess for our uncle!"
"Alas, as the Buddhist saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will? For the sake of the common people in the world, and for the eternal stability of the Ming Dynasty, my father has no choice but to bear this sin!"
After being persuaded by his two sons, this habitual criminal who even poisoned his own granddaughter actually had the nerve to compare himself with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. I really don’t know that one day when he really goes to hell, what will happen to him?
How could he face his granddaughter who was poisoned to death?
…
"Lao He, take the brothers from Qianhusuo and sneak into Huating County quietly, waiting for my command."
"Tishuai, this is another big case, hehe?"
Looking at the dusty Liu Shouyou, the Jin Yiwei Qianhu He Qi stationed in Nanjing couldn't help but look excited.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. You know a lot more, and your head won't stay on your neck for long!"
Glancing at the excited Qianhu in front of him, Liu Shouyou couldn't help but his face darkened!
"The general will finally be convicted!"
Seeing Liu Shouyou's serious expression, the Jin Yiwei Qianhu named He Qi also quickly put away his previous laughter.
It turned out that in order to complete the task assigned by the little fat man as quickly as possible, Liu Shouyou, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, set out from the capital with only a dozen Jinyi Guards.
Therefore, since he did not have enough manpower, he could only transfer people from the Jinyiwei Qianhu Station in Nanjing. As for the personnel from the Jinyiwei Hundred Household Station stationed in Songjiang, Liu Shouyou was not at ease at the moment.
…
Just like what Xu Jie said to Xu Fan before, what is supposed to come will always come!
On this day, with the arrival of a dusty horse team, the Xu Mansion, which had always been so majestic and domineering that even the lord of the county could only be scolded in the concierge, now had the middle door wide open, and even the head of the family, the head of the family,
Chapter completed!
