066 Hypocrisy or benevolence, who can say clearly

Jia Lian and Xue Pan were still thinking that this Shi Boqian looked gentle and well-educated, but they didn't expect that he was actually an extremely skilled practitioner.

Looking at it this way, isn’t it true that he is both civil and military?

Xue Pan was afraid, but also faintly happy.

When he was still in Jinling 2 years ago, Xue Pan felt that he was the boss in heaven and the boss in earth, and he was the third.

However, after nearly being involved in a life-threatening lawsuit and coming to the capital for more than a year and meeting many powerful people, although he still didn't like the dandy director, he still stayed in the Jia family's school and fooled around.

Now that I think Shi Zhongkui is great, I am as excited as my younger brother when he sees his capable elder brother.

Jia Lian once again regretted and regretted that Yingchun could not marry Shi Zhongkui.

Seeing that the two of them had different thoughts, Shi Zhongkui did not retaliate even when scolded, which made him a little surprised.

He glared at Xue Pan, but saw him smiling, and couldn't help but laugh.

After a while, he said, "Since the crime will not lead to death, there is no need to send them to the official. Return the deeds of sale to four of them, and give each of them 10 taels of silver and send them away. This will prevent them from losing their livelihood and starving to death on the streets."

Jia Lian and Xue Pan looked at each other, feeling as if a heavy stone had dropped, and heaved a sigh of relief.

I am not afraid that Shi Zhongkui is powerful, but I am afraid that he is ruthless and treats others too harshly.

This treatment is actually just right now.

Even though Shi Zhongkui returned the deed of betrayal and gave him money, for a domestic slave, the punishment of being kicked out was second only to being beaten to death and sent to an official position.

To drive away a slave who only knows how to serve others and is accustomed to having no worries about food and clothing is equivalent to being imprisoned in prison for decades in modern society. After he comes out, everything has changed, and it is even difficult for him to adapt to life outside the prison.

And it will definitely affect the family's reputation and status in the house.

But with Xue Pan's words of "Send them directly to the official", Shi Zhongkui's penalty of 10 taels of silver for returning the deed of sale became more humane, and it also allowed them not to worry about their lives in the next one or two years.

When Grandma Liu got 20 taels of silver from Wang Xifeng, she said that it would be enough for her family of five to live for a year, which means that 4 or 5 taels of silver would not starve to death in a year.

The four boys hurriedly knelt down and looked at Jia Lian and Xue Pan, seeing that they were silent.

In the end, I could only kowtow to Shi Zhongkui and say, "Thank you, uncle, for your mercy."

Shi Zhongkui shook his head, "I have no sympathy for you, but since I have become relatives with the Xue family and the Jia family, I can't just sit back and watch the two families be deceived by you and others.

Moreover, all the materials transported this time are used to build temples for the public land, so that the weather will be smooth this year.

There is a god standing three feet high, so you can take care of yourself."

The four people who originally had resentment towards Xue Pan, Jia Lian and Shi Zhongkui felt tight when they heard this and secretly cursed themselves for being obsessed.

While they were scared, all the resentment in the hearts of the three boys was focused on the boy who came up with the idea and was beaten the hardest.

Shi Zhongkui could tell at a glance that the three of them were resentful and even wanted revenge.

If he followed his inner thoughts, he would not care about the life or death of the person who came up with the idea, but he also knew that this person would never die because of him.

Shun'er was instructed, "Let the convoy transporting materials take them for a ride, and then send someone to follow them to the medical center for treatment, so that no one will gossip about the Xue family and the Jia family."

After hearing this, everyone present gave a thumbs up in their hearts and praised him for his kindness.

But Shi Zhongkui knew that if he didn't do this, he would be suspected of being hypocritical and using the Xue family and the Jia family to promote himself.

Xue Pan and Jia Lian hurriedly nodded and thanked each other. At this time, the four young men felt that Shi Zhongkui's treatment was fair and humane.

Once the anger is released, most of the resentment will naturally dissipate.

Don't say you hate him, and put the blame on yourself.

After kowtowing to Shi Zhongkui again, the four of them left the yard with the help of the Yu family's servants and the farmer who had rushed over after hearing the maid's notice.

At this time, the bankers had no intention of scolding the four boys. They were thinking that Shi Zhongkui would definitely be a good official in the future.

And a good official is probably the best evaluation of a person.

The Tudong, who had been watching from the side, had a very high opinion of Shi Zhongkui in his heart. When he saw Shi Zhongkui nodding slightly to him, he knew that this was not the time to talk, so he bowed to him, immersed himself in the ground and left.

He took Xue Pan and Jia Lian to his study and sat down. After drinking tea, Jia Lian said, "Bo Qian, how should we deal with those rogues?"

Shi Zhongkui frowned and thought for a while. Revenge was certain, but there was no need to play the game himself.

After thinking about it, he wrote a letter and sent it to Yu Honggao.

Since these gangsters often move around Daxing and Huangzhuang, Daxing's head catchers and police officers must have plenty of ways to teach them a lesson.

If you are caught beating the gangster, you will definitely be arrested and blackmailed by the police.

Although Jia Lian and Xue Pan were not satisfied with doing it themselves after hearing this, they were still angry.

After this incident, Jia Lian and Xue Pan became even more attentive to their work. Not only did they follow the convoy every time, they also lived and ate directly at the farm, and stayed at the construction site to supervise whenever they had time.

The fact that the four boys were kicked out immediately caused a lot of discussion between the Jia family and the Xue family.

Fortunately for the Xue family, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai quickly understood that this was a moth with dirty hands and feet in the house, and there was nothing wrong with Shi Zhongkui's handling, so they felt relieved.

Aunt Xue was also happy because there was finally someone in the family who could cure these servants and would definitely be able to scare more servants in the future.

But it was lively over there at Jia's house.

To be able to be Jia Lian's servant, one's parents must at least have some respectability in the Jia family, and may even be the kind who have been slaves for generations.

He was suddenly kicked out of the Jia Mansion. Not only did he lose his livelihood, but his family's status and face in the Jia Mansion were also damaged.

At first, there were still people crying and screaming, but the families of the two young men in the Xue family were filled with hatred when they heard that their sons were instigated by Jia Lian's young men.

This incident suddenly became a commotion, and then the cause and effect of the matter spread. In the end, even the servants of the two families said that Shi Zhongkui had exceeded his authority, but in their hearts they did not feel that there was anything wrong with Shi Zhongkui's handling.

Moreover, Jia Lian and Xue Pan were not only at the scene, but they did not object.

Even if Jia Mu, Jia She and the housekeeper were dissatisfied, they would not slap Jia Lian in the face just for the sake of the two young men.

Not to mention that Jia Lian was still helping relatives at this time, so there was no room for gossip.

They sent someone to call Jia Lian and Xue Pan back for questioning. Aunt Xue, mother and daughter Xue Baochai felt more satisfied, but the Jia family couldn't help but regret it.

Jia Mu even told Jia She, the housekeeper, and Jia Lian that once Shi Zhongkui passed the Jinshi examination, his future prospects would definitely be higher than Lin Ruhai's.

This matter passed quickly, but there was still a rumor among the people that if Shi Zhongkui solved the case successfully, his reputation would become even greater in an instant.

What Shi Zhongkui didn't expect was that the ancients' thinking was actually very simple. Most of the officials who could be called Qingtian Grand Master were related to handling cases impartially.
