The Little Darling Wife Who is a Divine Doctor Saved the Entire Family of the Duke's Mansion Chapter 193: Call me Mo Lao Jiu

After several n knocked down by ng Huaining got up, they all glared at the people from Zhao and Zhou families.

Their looks seed to say - just you wait.

Seeing the looks on Cui family's faces, the villagers from the two families shivered out of habit, and the horrible images of Cui family bullying their own families even erged in their minds.

In the dim light of several torches around, ng Huaining imdiately noticed Cui family's actions.

He ordered the officers behind him.

"Give each of these Cui n ten heavy strikes. If they refuse to obey, double the punishnt."

Among these officers, there was no lack of people who had pressured Zhao and Zhou families under Cui Wen's order.

At this mont, they were extrely nervous, always thinking of finding a chance to show their stance to the new county magistrate, so as to avoid getting involved with Cui family.

Just when several officers were thinking about counterasures in their minds, the county magistrate ordered to beat Cui family n with sticks.

Now, the opportunity for them to show themselves has finally co.

Several officers who used to act as accomplices for Cui Wen took the lead to rush out and hit Cui family n with clubs in their hands.

Cui family n were not unfamiliar with these officers. Seeing them coming, they thought the strikes on them would be lighter.

However, the result was just the opposite. These officers were implicated by Cui family, and now they hated Cui family so much. How could they go easy on them?

If ten strikes could beat one to death, they would spare no effort.

As soon as Cui family n felt the weight of the strikes at the first mont, they burst into scolding.

"Feng Laowu, you bastard, we used to drink together. How can you turn your face ruthlessly now?"

Feng Laowu: "Damn you, if you dare to babble more, I will beat you to death..."

Not only one pair had the sa scene, there were also two other Cui n burst into scolding.

The result was just more brutal strikes falling on them, almost breaking their bones.

Soon ten heavy strikes were finished. Those beaten Cui n finally learned the lesson, daring not to say more. All of them begged ng Huaining for rcy with their teeth gritting.

ng Huaining completely ignored them and ordered the officers to keep a close eye on all Cui family mbers starting today. Before Cui Wen's case got closed, no Cui family mber was allowed to leave Xi Ling Village.

Then ng Huaining called the chieftains of Zhao and Zhou families over.

"Cui family has committed so many evil acts that even if I don't sleep all night, I'm afraid I still can't finish the trial. Do you have anyone in your families who can read and write?"

When it ca to people who were literate, all eyes turned to Zhao Zechuan.

Due to Cui family's exploitation, they led such an impoverished life that having enough to eat was already beyond hope, let alone having spare money to send kids to school.

Zhao Zechuan was the only exception.

Having suffered oppression from Cui family for many years, in order to stand out, there must be soone from the family holding higher official post than Cui Wen.

For this reason, Zhao family secretly decided to send a smart boy to school, with tuition fees donated by all family mbers.

Zhao Zechuan's intelligence and wit had obtained unanimous approval from everyone.

Therefore, Zhao Zechuan was the only educated one among Zhao and Zhou families.

Before ng Huaining had finished, Zhao Zechuan had already co to the front across the crowd.

"My lord, your student Zhao Zechuan is not talented. I'm willing to write this plaint."

Seeing Zhao Zechuan addressing himself as a student, ng Huaining raised his brows. "Do you have an official title?"

Zhao Zechuan answered neither humble nor pushy: "I passed the county examination last year and beca Xiucai (a successful candidate in the imperial examination at the county level)."

ng Huaining didn't expect that such an impoverished family was able to nurture a Xiucai.

Moreover, seeing his age, he must be only sixteen or seventeen.

He had beco Xiucai last year at such young age. This could prove this man's excellence.

Thinking of this, ng Huaining was in no hurry to talk about writing the plaint.

"Since this is the case, it's truly not easy for your families to nurture a Xiucai, considering the extre poverty described by your chieftains."

If what Zhao Hua said was true, under Cui family's oppression, just getting enough food had already beco a big issue for Zhao and Zhou families, let alone supporting soone to pursue education.

ng Huaining was also a well-educated person. He understood clearly that cultivating a Xiucai cost a lot.

If Zhao Zechuan failed to give a reasonable explanation to this question, then what Zhao chieftain said might not be all true.

Zhao Zechuan sensed the magistrate's suspicion. He bowed and told the story of all Zhao family mbers donating money together to support his study.

Hearing this, ng Huaining had to give Zhao family a big thumb up for their solidarity and wisdom.

"Well, since this is the case, I'll give you one day to write a good plaint against Cui family and submit it to the county governnt."

Zhao Zechuan bowed with his hands cupped again. "Please rest assured, my lord. I'll present the plaint early tomorrow morning."

ng Huaining looked up to the darkening sky, and then asked the two chieftains of Zhao and Zhou.

"I'm dismissing Cui family's position as village head today. Do you have any good candidates for the new village head in mind?"

When it ca to the position of village head of Xi Ling Village, the two chieftains had never thought about it. As long as Cui family was there, this position would never fall into their hands.

But now things were different. The county magistrate settled Cui Wen on his first day taking office. It was imaginable that Cui family would beco helpless without Cui Wen's support in the future, even though they wanted to make troubles.

Thinking of these, there was a faint wish to give it a try in both chieftains' minds.

Let alone the monthly allowance of one or two silvers from the governnt, their families would also benefit a lot from it indirectly .

The reason why the two chieftains didn't promote themselves was that they didn't want to spoil the relationship because of competing for the position of village head.

Seeing neither of them speaking, ng Huaining guessed what was on their minds.

However, fortunately, neither of them took the initiative to speak for the sake of that position. This showed that they were taking each other's feelings into consideration to so extent.

Undoubtedly, the future village head of Xi Ling Village must be one of these two chieftains.

He sized them up and saw clear minds in both of their eyes.

"Since this is the case, Zhao chieftain will be the village head of Xi Ling Village in the future!"

The reason was simple. Zhao chieftain was younger, and there was also an educated son in his family, which was convenient to record sothing.

Zhou chieftain just froze for an instant and then bowed with his hands cupped to Zhao chieftain. "Congratulations to village head Zhao."

The surprise ca so suddenly. Zhao Hua was still reacting. Before he could respond, he had already received the congratulations from Zhou chieftain.

He hurried to return the courtesy and said so polite words. After all, with the county magistrate present, this was not his ho ground. The two finished the small talk and stepped aside.

ng Huaining's eyes fell on the two n again.

"I wonder if there are any vacant houses in your families?"

Hearing this, the eyes of the two chieftains fell on Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran, who hadn't spoken a word at the sa ti.

They were very clear in their minds that the reason why the county magistrate asked this must be for the newcors.

Soone had made inquiries about this today. Back then, hindered by Cui family, they didn't dare to agree.

Now the county magistrate asked them in person, and it was after he had started to punish Cui family. Of course they wouldn't refuse to rent houses to those newcors anymore.

Zhao chieftain was the first to speak. "Our Zhao family has two vacant houses. They are quite spacious, absolutely no problem for a big family to live in."

Zhou chieftain also said, "Our Zhou family also has an empty house compound, with ten rooms in total if counting the main room and side rooms. We can rent them all to these newcors."

He Zhiran felt their luck was really good.

Mo, Xie and Fang families, three families of people, happened to need three houses. And here were exactly three available houses.

While she was thinking about this, ng Huaining had already turned around.

"Brother Mo Jiuye, sister-in-law, since the two chieftains can provide three house compounds, why not go take a look now. If suitable, move in tonight. Don't catch cold by sleeping outside."

Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran were also thinking the sa way.

"That's perfect." As soon as Mo Jiuye spoke, he walked toward the two chieftains.

"Chieftains, may we go see those houses now?"

Both chieftains replied at the sa ti: "No problem. Just go take a look whenever Young Master Mo wants."

The most important thing ng Huaining ca here for was already settled. And it was getting late too. So he ordered to take away Cui Wen with those officers and leave Xi Ling Village.

Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran sent him and those officers to the village entrance before heading back to find the two chieftains.

Back to the original spot, except that Cui family n had been driven back ho by officers, people from the other two families were still waiting there.

The attitudes of the two chieftains toward Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran were extrely polite.

Chief Zhao stepped forward first to ask: "May I ask how this gentleman is called?"

Mo Jiuye politely answered: "Chief Zhao, my surna is Mo, I'm the ninth child in my family, you can call Old Nine Mo."

Then, he introduced He Zhiran to them to get acquainted, after all they would beco neighbors in the future, so it was necessary to be familiar with each other.

The two chiefs were indeed simple and straightforward, calling Mo Jiuye "Old Nine Mo" directly, and calling He Zhiran "Old Nine's wife"!
