Chapter 1022: The House-Building Team Arrives
After hearing the confession of Young Master Kang San, Kang Liwen was shocked and couldn't believe it...
San'er, the San'er whom he had taught with all his heart, the San'er whom he regarded as his pride and future face, actually stabbed him in the back?
He is his biological father, the one who gave him everything.
Without him, San'er would just be a slave, how could he become a child of aristocratic family!
Kang Liwen was listless for several days because of this and couldn't even muster the energy to eat or drink.
Fortunately, Kang Liwen has not been brought to trial again since the trial in court.
There is no need for a retrial.
It was unlikely that Kang Liwen would be sentenced, but his life would be over, and his official position and even his fame would be revoked.
In addition, some scholars have jointly written a petition asking the court to strip Kang Liwen of all his honors.
When Kang Liwen learned about this, he began to cry and regret in prison... He regretted that Kang Rong died of illness six years ago!
He thought that if he had found an opportunity to kill Kang Rong six years ago, or in the past six years, Kang Rong would not have had the chance to expose the fact that he was murdered and had no descendants.
And there was Kang Li, who not only didn't help him much in his career, but she even dared to take Yan Ge'er away from home, openly insulting her husband.
If Kang Li could help him to collude with his testimony, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation!
And that rebellious little son Kang Yan didn't even speak up for his own father. It's not good for him as a father. What future can this little brat have?
Do you really think that Kang Rong's actions can protect him for five generations? Ha, just wait to be isolated from all the powerful families and encounter obstacles in everything you do!
Kang Liwen blamed Kang Li madly, thinking that it was all someone else's fault and that they didn't consider him, and that he was the most innocent.
……
You know what, there are really quite a few people who think Kang Liwen is innocent and pitiful.
"The evildoers were the concubine and the old maid in the capital. What has Kang Liwen got to do with it? Kang Liwen didn't even know the nuts were poisonous."
"Alas... Actually, Kang Liwen is a very good person. When he came to our town to investigate crimes, he never bullied us. A high-ranking official from the capital can still smile at us peasants. He is really a good person."
Jingle Bell!
Jiang Xiaozhu shook her newly acquired medicine bell and cursed the man, "Do you deserve to be bullied? If someone hasn't bullied you, then they're treating you well? What kind of person are you? Why are you so rude?!"
"Sister Xiaomi said that the crimes committed by the spies over the past century have reached the ears of the emperor. If Kang Liwen dares to give the local people the cold shoulder when he comes to handle this case, then he is a fool."
"Kang Liwen is not a fool, so he is smiling at you just so that you can say a few good words to His Majesty's angel when he comes to question him."
"If you weren't so useful, would he be kind to you? He would have taken away the credit for County Magistrate Kang's work just like he did to ours!"
"What the hell? Kang Liwen stole the credit from County Magistrate Kang? Girl from the Jiang family, tell me in detail!" The folks in Taifeng Town were excited by the gossip.
Jiang Xiaozhu snorted, "Of course I did. The credit for that was the new grain of kudzu starch... My sister Xiaomi made the new grain of kudzu starch and reported it to our County Magistrate Kang, who then reported it to his superiors. Guess what happened?"
"What happened?"
Jiang Xiaozhu: "When the report of the new kudzu starch grain was sent to the capital, the reporter changed from County Magistrate Kang to Kang Liwen! My sister Xiaomi's family is only known by three words: disaster victim Qin!"
"That's it. Do you think Kang Liwen is bad?"
"He's already so bad, how can he really be good to you?"
"He's already so bad, isn't it normal for him to help his concubine harm his son?"
"Please, fellow villagers, don't assume someone is a good person just because they give you a smile. Wait until they give you a free New Year's pig before you praise them!" "Oh dear, this young girl, so young, yet so eloquent. We were wrong, we were wrong, we won't speak up for Kang Liwen anymore." The villagers who had praised Kang Liwen earlier apologized one after another.
After hearing this, Jiang Xiaozhu finally nodded in satisfaction. "Kang Liwen is such a hypocrite. He even harmed his own son. It's normal for you villagers to be deceived by him. Just be more careful in the future... Ouch, Second Aunt Qin, please let go. Don't pull my ears. If you pull them so hard that they stick out, you'll have to pay for it."
Aunt Qin said coldly, "I asked you to come out to pick up your second brother, not to chat. You are a little girl..."
A little girl, more naughty than boys, and very talkative. No one in the whole New Street, young or old, male or female, can talk better than her.
How can I get married in the future if I look at this naughty boy like that?
"Let's all go home. There's no need for you to pick him up. Erlang knows where we are anyway." Aunt Qin was afraid of Jiang Xiaozhu, so she took her and Xu Fubao back home.
After they left, the stall owners on the outskirts of New Street breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, that girl is gone. She was so quick-witted that I didn't even get a chance to defend myself."
"Hmm, hmm, hmm, Captain Jiang's sister is really scary. Who knows which unlucky boy will marry her in the future..."
Bang, bang, the long stick hit the goose cage of the speaker, and warned dissatisfiedly: "If you don't want to set up a stall here, don't harm us. And you are an elder, talking about other girls, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Upon hearing this, the stall owner finally came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Oh, oh, oh, it was my carelessness that almost caused trouble for you all. I'm so sorry, so sorry. I swear on my ancestors' graves that I will never say anything careless while I'm selling New Year's goods here!"
Now that the winter solstice has passed, Taifeng Town has welcomed a large number of fellow villagers from other towns, who come here to set up stalls and sell New Year's goods.
Selling New Year goods in Xinda Street is a really booming business. Since there are many rich people in the town, the prices of all New Year goods are two or three cents higher than those in other towns.
If you meet the manager of a merchant house, he will give you a few extra coins with just a wave of his hand.
Especially during Mr. Rong's roadside memorial period, the wealthy families would donate silver, cotton-padded jackets, rice, flour and other items to the stall owners or the poor people on the road after buying paper money, saying that they wanted to learn from Mr. Rong and do more good deeds.
This righteousness was well done.
Many children from poor families received a complete set of cotton-padded jackets because of this.
……
"Oh, little girl Xiaozhu, you've been taken home again!" On Xinda Street, when Qin Liupo saw Jiang Xiaozhu drooping her head, she knew that this naughty girl had taken the opportunity to go out and did something naughty again, and was caught.
Jiang Xiaozhu looked at her and smiled sweetly: "Sixth Aunt has been quite happy lately?"
"Of course I'm happy. The large team that will build our official residence is coming soon. How can I not be happy about such a great event that will bring honor to our family and be remembered by future generations?!" Qin Liupo's eyes were shining, and she walked with a breeze recently.
The cricket complained about how slow the government offices were: "If they don't come soon, I'm starting to wonder if the official residence is ever going to be built."
The emperor had long ago issued an edict to build houses for several families, but after more than half a year, the construction team had not yet appeared.
When they were about to forget about this matter, a few days ago, they received a letter from the county government saying that the team responsible for building the house was arriving.
He also brought a lot of precious official wood and asked them to be prepared to receive it.
When she learned that the main beam was worth millions of gold, Qin Liupo fainted with excitement. After waking up, she waited anxiously.
Jiang Xiaozhu: "Since Sixth Auntie is so happy, why don't we invite relatives from the Lu and Han families to come over and make you happier?"
