Xu Chong has not gone to the prefecture school these two days. He has been busy with his grandson going to Xuanzhou to study.

The Song Dynasty had extremely strict management of participating in the imperial examinations in other places. Most prefectures had strict regulations. Not only did they need to obtain household registration, live for many years, own houses and land, but they also had the same hometown.

Origin actually means two meanings. Origin refers to the student’s household registration, while Lord refers to the residence of his ancestors, which is generally limited to three generations.

To put it simply, you must be a local.

However, Xu Chong was overjoyed when he only looked at his citizenship, not his official position, and he was able to participate in the imperial examination in Xuanzhou after three years of naturalization.

Although the competition for the imperial examination in Xuanzhou is not as fierce as that in Pingjiang Prefecture, Xu Chong didn't care. He only needed his grandson to be qualified to take the boy exam.

Moreover, the attitude of Yuqing Academy Director Cheng was very satisfied with him.

Although Yuqing Academy failed to win the championship in the Child Prodigy Competition, Cheng Zhu did not cancel his previous statement because of this, but continued to promise to help Xu Ji settle in Xuanzhou.

Even the admission procedures for Xuancheng County School were handled for Xu Ji, so his grandson could go to Xuancheng to study at any time.

Moreover, when the governor of Xuanzhou learned that his grandson came to Xuancheng County to study, he also wrote a letter to invite him to serve as the prefectural teacher.

In the afternoon, Xu Chong was sitting in the study in a loose Zen suit and read a book. At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the door. The butler reported outside the door, "Master, County Magistrate Li has an urgent matter to visit."

Because of the disagreement between the two backstages, the Xu family never liked the county magistrate Li Yun. Li Yun also visited the Xu family for the first time today.

When Xu Chong heard that Li Yun was visiting, he said coldly after a while: "Please wait in the guest hall!"

Xu Chong was a little confused. What would Li Yunwei have to come to see him? He had never entered his own mansion over the years.

However, Xu Chong still stood up and walked towards the living room.

When he walked to the door of the living room, Xu Chong found that County Magistrate Li was wearing a black gauze hat and a dark blue official uniform. He was shocked. The county Magistrate actually came in his official uniform.

You should know that most officials come to visit the door in casual clothes.

And wearing official uniforms means coming with official business, and Xu Zhong was suddenly a little nervous.

He laughed dryly, "I didn't know that the county lord has arrived, so I have been waiting for a long time."

Li Yun stood up and said lightly: "There was no notice in advance, mainly because there were some temporary business matters. Please ask Professor Xu to cooperate."

"Business?"

Xu Chong's face changed, the smile disappeared, and his tone became a little dissatisfied.

"What business will I do? County Magistrate Li has gone to the wrong place!"

Li Yun smiled and said, "Professor Xu, don't be excited, you might as well sit down and listen to me in detail."

Xu Chong also realized that he had lost his composure, so he held back and sat down opposite Li Yun.

Li Yun then said: "Li Quan, the shopkeeper of Xu Ji Qi Shiguan, is suspected of stealing, and the government needs to arrest him, so I came to tell Professor Xu specially."

"nonsense!"

Xu Chong stood up and shouted, "It's all nonsense. Li Quan is a ruler. How could he be suspected of stealing?"

Li Yun was also a little annoyed. He took out Zhou Xiaomao's confession and slapped the table. "Last night, Fan Ning's home in Mudu Town was stolen. One of the thieves was arrested on the spot. This is his confession. Li Quan instructed him and his brother Zhou Damao to go and steal property."

Xu Chong was stunned for a moment and asked for a while: "You mean, Fanning's family, the head of the county stolen?"

Li Yun nodded, "I'll tell you the truth! The stolen items are not ordinary property, but white jade fan pendant given by the emperor. Professor Xu, you should know that this is not a trivial matter!"

Xu Chongda's brain made his heart almost stop beating. He slowly sat down weakly, quickly assessing the consequences of the matter.

He just heard that Fan Ning's family was stolen. His first intuition was that this matter was probably related to his grandson. Otherwise, with Li Quan's character, how could he do despicable things like stealing?

But he never expected that he would steal something from the imperial gift, which made him unable to believe it.

Xu Chong finally came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Mr. Li made a mistake! How could a country kid like Fan Ning have something to give me?"

Li Yun sneered, "Professor Xu may not know some things, but it does not mean that it has not happened. I know very well whether Fanning has given me something."

Xu Zhong vaguely guessed in his heart that the gift of the imperial court might have something to do with Fan Zhongyan.

But now he was not afraid of Fan Ning, and the county magistrate Li in front of him would take the opportunity to use this incident to defeat his son?

You must know that Li Yun’s father-in-law is the former husband Jia Changchao!

At this time, Xu Chong could no longer sit still. He quickly said to Li Yun: "Li Quan is just the shopkeeper I hired. His actions are his personal behavior and have nothing to do with the Xu family. Please tell me the county lord!"

"I hope this is the case too. I came today to specifically inform Professor Xu, and there will be no other things. Goodbye!"

The more Li Yun spoke, the more worried Xu Zhong was. He held back the anxiety in his heart and sent Li Yun out of the mansion.

Looking at Li Yun riding a horse away, Xu Chong suddenly became angry and turned around and roared, "Where is that little beast?"

Xu Ji was carried to the memorial hall by two servants. The memorial hall was located in the east backyard of Xu Mansion. This place was actually a place where family law was implemented. Xu Ji's father and uncle had been subjected to family law here.

Xu Ji was so scared that he trembled all over and knelt in front of his grandfather and couldn't stand up.

Xu Chongke suppressed his anger and asked coldly: "I'll ask you one thing, have you instructed Li Quan to deal with Fan Ning?"

Xu Ji wanted to deny it, but his grandfather's sharp eyes made him lose the courage to lie. He lowered his head for a while and whispered: "I originally just asked him to teach Fan Ning a lesson, but I didn't expect him to steal things..."

Before he finished speaking, he slapped Xu Ji out with a sharp slap. Xu Chong roared angrily: "I don't have a grandson like you, beat me! Kill this idiot!"

Xu Ji was so scared that he hugged his grandfather's legs and cried, "The grandson was confused for a moment. The grandson knew he was wrong. Grandfather spared me!"

Xu Chong sighed to the sky, "Do you know what stupid things you did? Your father and uncle's official positions will be destroyed by you, the idiot!"

Xu Ji laughed proudly with Li Quan just now, but in a blink of an eye, he actually caused a big disaster.

At this time, Xu Ji saw his servants coming in with a big stick of family law, and was so scared that he burst into tears, "Grandfather, let me spare my grandson this time!"

Xu Chong pointed at him and scolded, "I have spared you once before. It seems that the punishment is too weak. You have not learned any lessons and even caused a big disaster. I will never spare you lightly today."

He turned around and shouted, "Expertly skilled, give me a 40-stick again!"

Several servants held Xu Ji down, and another servant swung a stick and beat him. The stick made Xu Ji's skin burst into tears, cried and howled, and his voice hoarse.

Although he beat his grandson hard, Xu Zhong became more angry. He called the butler and asked, "Where is Li Quan now?"

The butler glanced at the little official who was still crying. He didn't dare to hide it, so he had to honestly explain, "He was hidden in the guest room by the little official!"

Xu Chong said coldly: "You go and inform him officially. Since yesterday afternoon, he has no longer been the shopkeeper of the Stone Museum. What he did has nothing to do with the Xu family. Then drive him out of the Xu family and don't allow him to get closer to the Xu family!"

"Don't worry, Master, I'll do it now!"

Xu Chong thought about it and added: "Also, I threw all his things out for me, especially fan pendants, which have nothing to do with the Xu family."

"Abide by the order!"

The housekeeper rushed to the west courtyard with a few servants.

Xu Chong squatted down, grabbed his grandson's clothes, gritted his teeth and asked, "I'll ask you again, did Li Quan hand over the stolen things to you?"

Xu Ji cried and said, "He said that the thief he sent had stole nothing, and he threw it into the river with a broken stone?"

Xu Zhong suddenly became nervous. He might have thrown the white jade fan into the river!

"What kind of stone?" he asked.

"He didn't say it, and I didn't ask." Xu Ji replied sobbingly.

Xu Chong was upset for a while and had to snort heavily, get up and go back to the study room.

Several servants quickly carried Xu Ji back to the room and sent someone to find a doctor to heal the wound.

When Xu Ji was beaten and cried, Li Quan also faintly heard the cry of the little master, and he was really worried.

This time, Xu Ji asked him to teach Fan Ning a lesson, but did not ask him to hand over the Taihu stone. Li Quan became selfish and hid the mountain travel stone.

Li Quan was pacing back and forth uneasy in the courtyard, and he felt a bad feeling.

At this time, the butler brought several servants into the courtyard. Li Quan felt panic. He pretended to be calm and said, "Is there anything wrong with Butler Liu?"

The butler said coldly: "The master asked me to inform you that from now on, you will no longer be the shopkeeper of the Stone Museum. The Xu family has no relationship with you from now on. Please leave the Xu Mansion immediately!"

Li Quan felt a stream of blood rushing to his head and shouted: "What's this? Is this protecting me? Bah! Kill the donkey when you break the mill and burn the bridge when you cross the river!"

The butler's face sank, "Li Quan, be kind, otherwise I will hit you out with sticks!"

Li Quan was so angry that he sneered and cursed, "Bastard, the Xu family spoke like a fart, forcing me to be a thief, but in the end he was punished. From old to young, there was no good thing in the Xu family, all of whom were bastards raised by bitches!"

The butler was furious and waved his hand, "Play it out with sticks!"

Several servants beat Li Quan to beat Li Quan, which made Li Quan jump and jump, cursing and fleeing to the gate.

Li Quan fled to the gate, but was kicked out of the gate by the butler and fell heavily under the steps.

A bunch of luggage was thrown out together.

Li Quan was about to get up and curse, but he felt a heavy pressure on his vest, as if he was being stepped on by someone, and he couldn't move.

Li Quan slowly raised his head and saw a burly man with a big beard standing in front of him, wearing a black-edged robe, a long sword on his waist, and a fierce face, looking like Zhong Kui.

"You... who are you?" Li Quan asked nervously.
