Chapter 326 326 Treat yourself well

As soon as Zhou Jia arrived at the yamen to handle his official business, Lin Zicong and Lin Tong came to Zhou Jia's signing room, put a file on Zhou Jia's table, and bowed to Zhou Jia, "Sir, what happened to Tian Zhong's family The evidence is conclusive. In addition to stealing and damaging the villagers, the subordinate officials also found that they had seized the villagers’ properties. The subordinate officials sentenced Tian Zhong’s family to 20 employees, Tian Yin and Tian Kuan served hard labor for three months, and Tian Zhong compensated for the damaged young crops and returned the seized properties. , and fined fifty taels of silver."

   Zhou Jia looked at the dossier, smiled and returned it to Lin Zicong, "Okay, so the black sheep in the village should be severely punished to set an example."

  Lin Zicong cupped his hands and said, "It's your lord."

  Tian Zhong, Wang Shi and their two sons were beaten to pieces by 20 sticks. Tian Kuan and Tian Mazi were taken to hard labor. Tian Zhong and his wife were taken back to Yangjia Village by servants sent by the Tian family. Under the supervision of the yamen, he paid the villagers the over-occupied land and went to Zhoujiazhuangzi to compensate for the loss and apologize.

Outside the mansion, Liu Yi and the accompanying yamen took two girls of eight or nine years old with their heads down and said nothing back to the mansion. Wu Ting first glanced at the two children standing outside and frowned. He asked Liu Yi, "What's the matter with these two children?"

Liu Yi took two steps forward and reported in a low voice: "Sir, one of these two children is Su Ling, the youngest daughter of Su Xiucai in the east of Dingyuan County, who just turned nine this year, and the other is Wang Xinrong, an old man surnamed Wang from a family in the west of the city. The granddaughter of Xiucai's family is eight years old this year, and both of them have a good family background, but the elders in the family have long claimed that the children in the family have died suddenly, and they refuse to recognize them."

Wu Tingxian scolded in a low voice: "Tiger poison doesn't even eat children! The books have been read into the dog's stomach. These two families are either ruthless or pedantic. Fortunately, my lord and I expected it in advance, you take them first. Let's go eat something, and I'll report to the lord to put them in the Houya first, and then find two families..."

Liu Yi looked at Wu Tingxian and said anxiously: "Sir, why didn't you and Lord Zhou think of it, but every childless woman's family is controlled by a clan, and it is not safe to send the child, according to the subordinates, it is better to send the child. They will be sent to Zhuangzi of Zhou Da's family, and they will grow up with those children before they are released to start a family."

   "That's right! Why didn't I think of it," Wu Ting's eyes lit up after hearing this, "There is no need to leave the near and seek far, let's walk, let's talk to the adults."

Wu Ting first took Liu Yi and the two children to Zhou Jia's house, and told Zhou Jia about the situation of the two children, Liu Yi's words and suggestions, "Sir, I will send the money reserved for the children. You, Zhuangzi, will send your two children to your Zhuangzi to raise them, do you think that?"

   Zhou Jia thought for a while, there were already so many children in Zhuangzi, and there were not many of these two, so he answered cheerfully: "Alright, you ask Liu Yi to send them to Zhuangzi and let the wife arrange for them to live there."

Shortly after Wu Tingxian and Liu Yi left, Chu Feng came to Zhou Jia's house, took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Jia, "Brother Jiahe, look this is a letter intercepted by Qianzhuang. It was Tian Kun, the dog thief, who asked his brother who is an official at the Censor Terrace to find you, and asked him to find a copy of your ginseng to get you out of Yunzhou."

After Zhou Jia took the letter and opened it, he thought about it and felt that Tian Peng could only start from the old house in Kyoto if he wanted to participate. Peng's feet.

   Zhou Jia threw the letter on the table and smiled faintly, "Brother Qingshan, don't worry, I can't think of anything that I can't see, I wonder if you have found anything?"

"Manager Luo has been detained, and it was found out that he sold most of the rice seeds to the Tian family, and the Wang family and the He family also occupied a part. The strange thing is that the Tian family's fields can't use so many rice seeds. I'm here to invite Jiahe brother. Help me to check the fish scale book and count how many fields are registered by the Tian family? How can they eat so many rice seeds?" Chu Feng said and stood up and bowed his hands to Zhou Jia, "Fortunately Madam found out in time, the Tian family has already Heliang Bank has set the corn seeds for next year, and I will be really in trouble if there is an accident with the corn seeds.”

   "Hey! You and I don't need to be outsiders," Zhou Jia smiled and pulled him to sit down, "Brother Qingshan is very efficient! It took only eight or nine hours to find out."

Chu Feng frowned and sighed, "Treasurer Luo explained everything one by one after he was caught, and said that after he committed the crime, he was worried and panicked all day long, constantly blaming himself for his filial piety and letting him be confused. The old lady spoiled the good child, and now she has made a terrible disaster in order to pay the debt for her son who owes gambling debts." Chu Feng thought about it and summed it up, "Brother Jiahe, the child must not be ignored. Reasonable women raise especially elders."

   After hearing this, Zhou Jia thought of the two prodigals in the old house, and felt the same way.

Liu Yi sent the two children to Zhuangzi, stood outside listening to the sound of reading in the yard, and comforted the two children with a smile, "Don't be afraid, Mrs. Li is the best person, what you heard. The sound of reading belongs to the child that Mrs. Li took in, and you will be fine in the days to come."

Wang Xinrong lowered his head and clung to his shirt tightly, his grandfather's cold and ruthless voice echoed in his mind: "This official, my little granddaughter died of a sudden illness a few days ago. The old man and you have no grievances in the past, and no enmity in recent days. You Why so defiled my Wang family?

  Su Ling said in a hoarse voice: "Uncle Liu, even my parents don't recognize me, say I am dead, I have no home, no parents, siblings, and nothing!"

   "You kid..." Liu Yi looked at Su Ling with some distress. This was the first sentence the kid said after he came out of Dingyuan County. Su Xiucai did something wrong! If a good girl says she doesn't want it, then she doesn't want it. If you have a kitten and a puppy, you will feel distressed for some time! I really don't know what these sour talents have in their minds.

Li Yu came out and heard Su Ling's words, looked at her and said, "There's nothing left, you still have yourself! Everyone will encounter different sufferings and setbacks in their life. It's not the suffering itself that is difficult, but we The attitude in the face of suffering, some people face the difficulties and setbacks, and some people give up on themselves and fail to recover, it depends on what path you choose to take.”

  Su Ling looked at Li Yu who was looking at her Nuan Nuan, tears streaming down, "Madam, why don't they want me, is it my fault to be kidnapped?" Wang Xinrong also raised his head and looked at Li Yu tearfully.

Li Yu walked over and hugged the two tearful children in his arms, patted their vests lightly, "It's not your fault, it's this world that is too harsh on us women, and because of this, we Learn to be kind to yourself and work hard to live a happier life.”

   "Woooo..." The two children burst into tears in Li Yu's arms. Liu Yi looked at the two children with red eyes, bowed to Li Yu and turned to leave.
