Zhang Hu was about to follow in, but Wang Shiqi stopped him, giving him a sidelong glance: "What are you going in for? This is the boss's family matter.
Zhang Hu, bewildered, said, "The boss's family matter is our brothers' family matter, isn't it?"
Another person came over, looking burly. This was Zhou Shishan, and he spoke in a rough voice: "Third, you're really stupid. This isn't something glorious, and you're still rushing in."
Wang Shiqi said meaningfully to Zhang Hu: "The boss hasn't been in a good mood these days. Be careful, don't let the boss scold you."
Zhang Hu waved his hand, unconcerned: "It's just that he didn't get into the Five Military Commissioners' Office, isn't this Commander a second-rank official too!"
Wang Shiqi gave him another look and said: "The second-rank official here is completely different from the second-rank official in the capital. The boss has achieved such great military merit. You think about it, this isn't just sending the boss outside, but also making him suppress the rebels. We're unfamiliar with this place, where can we find rebels? Sending him out and making him suppress the rebels is bad enough, but they also transferred him to Qingzhou Prefecture?"
Zhou Shishan, who was beside them, stared with a sudden realization: "Second, you mean… they did it on purpose?"
Wang Shiqi looked at Zhou Shishan and smiled: "Fourth has become smart! They're clearly putting the boss on the spot! It's right to catch the rebels, and if you can't catch them, it's dereliction of duty."
Zhou Shishan nodded and said: "Indeed, Fourth and I spent the whole day with the boss outside today, and we didn't find any clues, not even a trace."
Wang Shiqi glanced at Jiang Yuanfa and Madam Chen in the front hall, then continued: "Plus Qingzhou has these two, just the disgust alone can make the boss sick. If the boss gets impulsive, he could even be accused of being unfilial."
Zhang Hu scratched his head, puzzled: "Second, are you overthinking this?"
At this moment, the Embroidered Uniform Guard who hadn't spoken suddenly said: "The boss just took office, and then Jiang Yuanwai's son got into trouble and was arrested by the Prefecture Office. They're not trying him at the Prefecture Office, but sending him to our Dusi's prison. They've already set up the stage, just waiting for the boss to perform."
The speaker had sword-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes, looking as beautiful as a woman at first glance. This was the youngest of the brothers, Qi Yue.
Wang Shiqi nodded in approval: "Fifth sees clearly."
Qi Yue continued: "If the boss punishes him according to the law, Jiang Yuanwai will definitely not let it go, and there will be crying and making a fuss, and the accusation of unfilialness will be pinned on him. If the boss lets him go, Prefect Lu will definitely not give up, and the crime of Abuse of power and perversion of justice.
will be confirmed."
Zhang Hu wasn't laughing this time, and asked with some worry: "Second, then what do we do?"
Wang Shiqi smiled leisurely: "What to do? We'll deal with whatever comes our way!"
With that, he quietly closed the door of the front hall, and walked out with the others. The sound of their conversation grew fainter.
"Today, Fourth and I saw a beautiful young lady on the street, tsk tsk, like a celestial being…"
"Really? Don't tell me you've been pent up and are seeing Xi Shi in a sow."
"Hahaha!"
"Really! The boss saw it too! Fourth, didn't you?"
In the front hall, Xu Hongchuan looked down at Jiang Yuanfa and Madam Chen under the hall, expressionless, saying nothing.
Jiang Yuanfa and Madam Chen didn't dare to speak either, nervously swallowing their saliva.
The atmosphere in the hall was eerie and unsettling, and Jiang Yuanfa and his wife soon broke out in a cold sweat on their foreheads.
Madam Chen couldn't hold back and gave Jiang Yuanfa a fierce look.
Jiang Yuanfa cleared his throat awkwardly, cautiously looked up at Xu Hongchuan, and spoke with difficulty: "Sir Xu has worked so hard all these years, and this commoner hasn't done his duty, it's truly shameful. This commoner is ashamed to see you, but… but this commoner's unfilial son is wronged and imprisoned—"
At this point, Madam Chen suddenly burst into tears.
She cried with genuine emotion, very heartbroken, and with a "plop", she knelt down, and Rong Yue, behind Jiang Yuanfa, quickly followed suit.
Madam Chen wailed: "Sir Xu, even if you don't acknowledge my husband, after all, blood is thicker than water, you are still brothers!"
Xu Hongchuan on the main seat smiled mockingly, they went straight to the point, they couldn't wait for a moment.
He slowly asked: "This official has one thing unclear, this official's surname is Xu, and Jiang Yuanwai's surname is Jiang, how can you say blood is thicker than water?"
Jiang Yuanfa glared at Madam Chen in annoyance, he had planned to proceed step by step and communicate with his eldest son about his feelings.
His good wife suddenly pulled this stunt, which might ruin everything
Madam Chen's face was also very ugly, was Xu Hongchuan not going to acknowledge him?
Jiang Yuanfa's eyes were wet, and he lowered his voice: "What you said is absolutely right, Sir, this commoner has let you down so much, I'm not worthy of you, but my son's life is hanging by a thread, this commoner really has no choice, that's why I have to ask for your mercy."
Xu Hongchuan looked as if he had anticipated Jiang Yuanfa's words, with no change in his expression, but his eyes were extremely cold.
This selfish, cowardly, and irresponsible man under the hall, watched his mother being driven out by his grandmother, standing aside, and didn't say a word for his mother.
Later, his mother went through a lot of hardship with him, and it took ten full years for things to get better.
This man now has the nerve to come and acknowledge him?
If he were still in the military, he would have kicked him away!
After being an official for a few years, he had restrained his military temper and could hold his temper.
Xu Hongchuan still said nothing, and Madam Chen anxiously clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
For the sake of her son in prison, she couldn't care about the murderous aura of this man before her.
Madam Chen, steeling herself, crawled forward a few steps and cried, pleading: "Sir, brothers fight together, father and son fight side by side. Chenger is your blood-related brother!"
Xu Hongchuan sneered inwardly, as expected, they wouldn't stop mentioning blood relations.
Prefect Lu, that old fox, must have also anticipated that no matter what, Jiang Yuanfa and Jiang Wencheng are both of the same blood as him, and he can't deny it.
Suddenly, Xu Hongchuan smiled slightly and said slowly: "Good blood ties. However, if the name is not correct, the words will not be smooth. In that case, then Jiang Yuanwai should choose a day to welcome my mother back, and the family, who are blood-related, can be reunited. Otherwise, am I to become Jiang Yuanwai's illegitimate son?"
