Chapter 109 Dad, Don’t Hit Me Anymore
Chapter 109 Dad, Don’t Hit Me Anymore
The Xie family, which had been the local tyrant in Yunlai Town and even the entire Yunshui County for decades, first encountered the Liu family who came to settle down and had to keep a low profile.
After discovering that the Liu family would not attack them as long as they did not infringe upon their interests, the Xie family began to dominate the territory of Yunlai Town again.
But no one expected that the Xie family would get themselves into trouble because of a small pub.
The county magistrate of Yunshui County was also in trouble.
After Zhou Lingling and the others left that day, the county magistrate met the inspector who came from the prefectural government. No matter how he tried to think of ways or how much money he gave, the charges against him were still sent to the prefectural city early the next morning. The county magistrate and his family were also imprisoned in the prefectural government office and were not allowed to go out until someone was escorted to stand trial.
Zhou Lingling learned the news the night before.
She found Xiao Yan and asked him, "Did you do it?"
Xiao Yan did not deny it and told her directly: "The county magistrate of Yunshui County needs to be replaced."
Find someone he trusts.
Zhou Lingling understood.
Even a prince abandoned by those in power still has enormous energy.
Xiao Yan was far away in the Northern Frontier, and what he did was not only to subdue the Northern Army for his own use, but he was also present in the court.
As expected, the power struggles and palace fights in ancient times were beyond the reach of a commoner like her.
So Zhou Lingling became more determined to curry favor with the powerful!
"I want to go to the Xie Mansion tonight." Before their house is searched tomorrow.
Xiao Yan was a little surprised, but still nodded in agreement.
"Let Feiyu go with you."
Zhou Lingling did not refuse, Feiyu's lightness skills were exactly what she needed.
Fuguier suddenly appeared and said, "Master, I have an excellent manual on Qinggong here. Would you like to learn about it?"
Zhou Lingling: “…”
Can it be done quickly? Something I can use tonight.
Fuguier fell silent.
The hustle and bustle is the Xie Mansion tonight.
"Ah! Daddy, stop hitting me!"
"Dad, I was wrong!"
"Ah! It hurts, Daddy! Don't hit me anymore!"
Xie Yaozu was pinned to the ground by two servants, and Master Xie personally held up a board and hit him hard.
Mrs. Xie sat there crying, but did not dare to step forward to stop them.
Mr. Xie was tired from beating the butler, and he threw the board in his hand to the butler, panting.
"You rebellious son! What did I tell you? I told you to stay home and behave yourself! And you're out there causing trouble again!"
"Why did I give birth to such a fool like you!"
Mr. Xie was so angry that he was fuming.
In the afternoon, the county magistrate's men sent him a message, asking him to be careful not to offend anyone he shouldn't offend.
Only then did Mr. Xie realize that the tavern whose wine recipe he had his eyes on was being robbed by his son.
Zhouji’s liquor is unprecedented. Mr. Xie asked someone to buy some and taste it, and he was also amazed.
He asked a winemaker to study the method, but he could not find the right way.
Mr. Xie was just about to communicate with the people from Zhouji, but before he could do so, he learned that his son had taken action first.
He was so stupid that not only did he lose a life, but he also ended up in court.
But I lost completely!
Not only was a capable manager gone, but he was also warned by the county magistrate.
"Let me ask you, what is the origin of the Zhou family?"
Mr. Xie had beaten his son, but he was still angry and started to ask his son about serious matters.
Xie Yaozu was lying on the ground wailing, and only after hearing this did he dare to get up from the ground tremblingly. The housekeeper and Mrs. Xie hurried forward to support him.
Mr. Xie did not stop him, but sat back in his chair.
Xie Yaozu couldn't sit down, so he could only stand there supported by the housekeeper and replied:
"The Zhou family was a poor family in the village, and they were kicked out by their family."
"In the end, the owner relied on the Yue family, who sold meat in town, to start a braised food business. Unexpectedly, he became rich and even opened a tavern in the East Market!"
"Dad, I've tasted that braised food before, and it's truly amazing. If we can get the recipe, we can use it in all our restaurants in town and county!"
"Even though I didn't succeed this time, that was my son's plan. If you had taken action..."
Xie Yaozu spoke excitedly and looked at his father expectantly, but he didn't expect that Mr. Xie's expression, which had just relaxed, had now become even darker.
Mr. Xie asked Xie Yaozu in disbelief, "Are you saying that you sacrificed two lives just for a braised food recipe?"
Xie Yaozu was a little confused, but still nodded.
"Yes, Dad. Otherwise, what else do they have that is worthy of our Xie family's efforts?"
Mr. Xie looked at his only son in front of him, and his faith was shaken for the first time.
He has worked hard all his life and still doesn't dare to relax because he knows that his only son is a fool.
If I don't save some money for him, it will never be enough for this idiot to squander in the future.
But Mr. Xie never expected that this idiot could be so stupid.
"Is there anything else worthy of our Xie family's efforts?"
"You idiot! You don't even understand this, yet you dare to use such a low-brow method to plot against others?"
"If the Zhou family is truly a ruined family in the village, how could your method be ineffective? Could our family still be warned by the county magistrate?"
Xie Yaozu was scolded again. He lowered his head but kept saying:
"She's just a poor family in the village, and she's the niece of the Zhou family owner who came to see me..."
When Mr. Xie heard this, he immediately asked, "What niece?"
Xie Yaozu said: "It's Zhou Ji's big niece, named Zhou Qianqian, who lives in Zhoujia Village..."
Zhou Lingling didn't listen to what the Xie father and son said afterwards.
She gently patted the flying feather, and it immediately took her to a tree beside a courtyard next to the main hall of the Xie family.
This is Mr. Xie’s study.
The Xie family is a merchant family with many servants. There are usually two people guarding the study.
But today, Master Xie was teaching the young master a lesson in front, and many people in the mansion went to watch the fun quietly. If Master Xie had not ordered that the study should not be left unattended under any circumstances, the two people guarding here would have gone too.
But although these two people were guarding outside the study, they were obviously absent-minded.
"Do you think the master will really break the young master's legs now that he's so angry?"
"Come on! I don't think it's possible. The young master is the only child in the family. It would be strange if the master would be willing to give him up!"
"Ah, what a pity! Although Manager Rong is a worthless person, he is truly loyal to the Master..."
The two of them were chatting as if no one was around. Zhou Lingling took out a small paper bag from the space and handed it to Feiyu, pointing at the two of them.
Feiyu nodded in understanding, then silently jumped down the tree with the paper bag...
After a while, the two servants who were chatting began to yawn. One of them leaned against a pillar, hugged the pillar and closed his eyes.
Feiyu brought Zhou Lingling down and tested the situation, only to find that the two were sleeping like pigs.
He gave Zhou Lingling a thumbs-up and praised in a low voice, "Amazing!"
Zhou Lingling also whispered back, "Doctor Lao Bai gave it to me!"
