The next afternoon, the county government posted a notice.

The notice explained the reasons for the strange disease in Ping'an Town and the punishment for Dahu and his group of people.

The big tiger, two tigers, and three tigers are extremely guilty and will be executed in silence in three days.

Several of his subordinates were sentenced to beheading.

As soon as the notice was released, the people ran around and told each other, applauding and calling the magistrate of County Chen the Grand Master Qingtian.

In the inner court, County Magistrate Chen had already prepared a banquet to entertain Mo Ziming with kindness.

Through conversation, Mo Ziming learned that Chen County Magistrate’s real name was Chen Dezhi, and he was a Jinshi for two, but he was not successful in his career.

Most of the Jinshi who were in the same subject as him had been promoted to the sixth or even the fifth rank, some were officials in Beijing, and some were promoted to prefects, while he was still a seventh rank county magistrate.

The main reason is that he is quite upright, offended his boss and eventually missed the opportunity for promotion.

Mo Ziming persuaded him to relax his mind and stick to his original intentions. He would eventually see the blue sky.

Actually, this is really not comfort.

After Mo Ziming's observation, Chen Dezhi was rich and noble. In other words, he would definitely rise to the top in the future and enjoy his official career.

At present, it is just a temporary setback.

While drinking and chatting, a yamen runner hurried over and said, "Reported to you, after checking Liu Jihu's work, the conclusion is the same as Yao Jihu's work."

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Chen couldn't help but frown, then sighed, and waved his hand: "Okay, I know, let's go down first."

"yes!"

The yamen runners left.

Mo Ziming asked casually: "Mr. Chen has encountered some trouble?"

County Magistrate Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This strange case is one after another, it's really a headache."

"What strange case is there?"

"This case is quite suspicious..."

County Magistrate Chen began to tell the story slowly.

Let’s say that there is a wealthy businessman named Wang Xing in this county who married a wife and three concubines, but he still has no children after being over 50 years old.

Now, I can't blame my own woman, it's obvious that it's his problem.

Many people secretly said that if this old guy has done too many bad things, he deserves to lose his descendants.

Indeed, Wang Xing is a complete unscrupulous businessman. He has deceived many of his peers and people, but his family is a big business and it is difficult for others to defeat him.

Wang Xing was unwilling to stop the post, so he spent a lot of money and asked for a lot of folk remedies.

Perhaps some folk remedy worked, and the second concubine actually got pregnant magically.

At the beginning, Wang Xing was quite complicated, excited and worried that this child would be his?

After finally reaching the birth of the child, Wang Xing finally felt at ease because he looked left and right at the child's facial features were similar to him.

Excited, he named his child Wang Bao, which means he got treasure when he is old.

A few months later, his wife suddenly fell seriously ill and died. Wang Xing took the opportunity to straighten the concubine and make him the wife of the wife.

When Wang Bao was five years old, Wang Xing had some idea of ​​getting along with a widow in the city, so he ran to the widow's house to spend the night from time to time.

In this regard, the wives and concubines at home turned a blind eye.

After all, this old guy is in his fifties, so I'm afraid he'll just be fresh and he won't be able to calm down long.

But he never expected that the widow was pregnant and insisted that it was Wang Xing's species, saying that after she became a widow, there was no second man except Wang Xing.

Wang Xing also favored this widow, so he took her back to the house.

As a result, this time it completely angered the wives and concubines at home, and they were united like never before, and they ran to Wang Xing to cry.

Wang Xing had no choice but to say that after the widow gave birth to a child, she would definitely find a way to properly place her child.

As a result, the widow was also successful and gave birth to another son. Wang Xing couldn't stop talking and regretted it again, saying that he wanted to take the widow as his concubine.

Wang Bao's mother, Wang, was a concubine before, and she had experienced the deep meaning of the mother's honor by her son. How could she be willing to let the widow stay in the mansion?

Maybe one day I will climb onto her head.

However, it was unlikely that Wang Xing would take the initiative to drive the woman away, so Wang secretly planned to sell the widow while Wang Xing was out.

Saying it is a sale is actually equivalent to giving it for free, and it only symbolically charges one or two taels of silver.

The poor widow called Tiantianwang, and was forced to go out by several servants...

However, although Wang was bold, he was not so brave enough to sell Wang Gui, the widow's son, whom he gave birth to. In that case, Wang Xing would probably fight her desperately.

When Wang Xing came back, he learned about this and was furious and whipped Wang in front of the servants.

Wang was mentally prepared and gritted his teeth to bear it.

Being beaten will be better than being unable to protect your status.

When the limelight came, Wang began to be a slander of Wang Gui again, saying that he would become the best person if he endured the hardships.

Wang Xing is old and is really powerless.

One day, I suddenly fell into bed with a stroke and couldn't even speak. I died within two days and didn't even leave my will.

As soon as Wang Xing died, the huge family business naturally fell into the hands of the Wang family and his son.

As for Wang Gui... his reputation was not right and his status at home was very awkward. He said, "The Second Young Master," no one thought he was the Second Young Master."

It’s said that he is a servant, but he is still considered a species of the Wang family.

In order to avoid gossiping outsiders, Wang did not drive Wang Gui away, and asked him to live alone in a small courtyard, get a maid, and pay a few taels of silver every month.

Later, Wang accidentally fell and knocked his head on the steps... He bleeded too much and died.

At that time, Wang Bao also grew up and had become a relative, and was managing his own business alone.

Maybe I felt that I couldn't be busy alone, or maybe I was thinking about my brotherly feelings and finally hired Wang Gui and asked him to help manage his business, mainly responsible for business transactions in other places.

About a year later, Wang Gui brought back a woman named Alan from another place, which caused a sensation in the mansion.

Because this woman is very beautiful, she looks like a fairy walking down from a painting.

Not long after, Wang Gui and Alan held a simple wedding and officially became husband and wife.

It was less than a month since the marriage was getting married, so Wang Bao said that there was a big business in other places that Wang Gui needed to negotiate in person, so he ordered him to set off quickly.

This is just an excuse.

In fact, the deal has been almost done with this order, so it is not necessary for Wang Gui to go there in person.

Wang Bao’s purpose is to support his second brother.

After hitting Alan into the Wang family's door, this guy was both envious and jealous, wishing he could possess Alan himself.

This woman not only has fair skin and beautiful appearance, but also has impeccable figure, a little plump, and also has a proud and exquisite curve.

The temperament is elegant and gentle, with both the style of a lady from a family and the freshness of a jasper in a small family.

In short, Wang Bao was fascinated by the fact that he had not met such a beautiful woman.

At the same time, he was very grateful that he was the head of the family and had opportunities.

As soon as he sent his second brother away, Wang Bao ran to the yard alone to visit his sister-in-law the next day, regardless of etiquette.

Alan was not easy to avoid this, so she could only greet him.

Wang Bao pretended to say some apologies, saying that if it were not for a special situation, he would definitely let his second brother stay at home for a while.

"I understand that my brother is fine, after all, family business is the most important thing."

Alan was sensible and replied without any complaint.

Wang Bao nodded with satisfaction, then took out a silk bag and opened it to the table.

It contains a few pieces of jewelry, including jade bracelets, gold hairpins, silver embellishments, etc.

"Alan, you marry into our Wang family, and I, the eldest brother, have no expression. If you accept these jewelry, you can only be the eldest brother's intention."

Alan refused urgently: "Brother, these gifts are too expensive, I must not accept them."

"The family doesn't speak two families, and the elder brother asks you to accept it and you will accept it!"

While speaking, Wang Bao closed the jewelry and grabbed Alan's hand and forced the silk bag into her hand.

Alan was embarrassed and angry and wanted to pull her back. On the one hand, she was weak, but on the other hand, she was afraid that she would break the jade tool by mistake.

Fortunately, Wang Bao didn't catch him for a long time, so he raised his hand and patted Alan on the shoulder, smiling with a gentle look: "Okay, you accept it first, and if you have any difficulties in the future, just talk."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

After he left, Alan thought about it for a while and finally ordered the maid to secretly return the jewelry to Wang Bao.

But he never thought that the maid sent him away and Wang Bao sent him back.

As soon as they met, they said with a gloomy face: "Alan, are you not treating me as your elder brother?"
