"This is your father-in-law, Minister Zhang.”Qinghe County Magistrate smiled.
"No, no, no. Those who don't know are innocent. Jinlian is my goddaughter. I've long heard that my beloved son-in-law is both talented and beautiful, so I specially married Jinlian over.”
"Ah! This…" Wu Song could not help but smile bitterly as he watched Minister Zhang's vivid words.
This was too surprising!
After the three of them entered the county office and sat down, Wu Song stood up and said,"Milord, I have a beautiful wife at home, but a few hoodlums from the Zhang residence came to tease me. Wu Song's invitation was very straightforward, so I hope Milord can help me.”
"Zhang Manor? Beloved son-in-law, are you talking about the people in my residence?”
Without waiting for the magistrate to speak, Minister Zhang stood up and asked.
"Exactly, exactly!"
Looking at the old silver thief's smiling face, Wu Song felt that he really didn't know what to do.
"Aiyaya! Magistrate, tell me about those bastards! When I married my goddaughter, I originally wanted those guys to go to my daughter's house and make a scene in the bridal chamber…These useless people, such a thing happened. I'm really ashamed!”
After Minister Zhang finished speaking, the county magistrate stood up and shouted,"Minister, I think it's better to let your butler come to the county government. What do you think?"
When Minister Zhang saw the look the county magistrate gave him, he knew what was going to happen next.
It was not the first time that the two of them had worked together. They had already reached the point of intimacy!
"Good, good, good. Let that thing personally give my beloved son-in-law an explanation.”
"Where is Constable Liu?"
Qinghe County Magistrate patted the gavel, and a burly man walked in.
"Constable Liu, go and get the butler of the Zhang Manor. Wu Erlang accused him of molesting his newly married wife in broad daylight. I want to see how he will explain himself!”
After Constable Liu heard the order and left, the tooth guards also walked in with the Merciless Water and Fire Staff.
"Wu Song! Why didn't you invite me to your house for a drink?”
Wu Song said politely,"The house is very simple and crude. I dare not trouble you to come personally to congratulate me."”
"Oh, Constable Liu will be back in a while. Let's go to the back hall and have a few drinks.”
The Clear River Magistrate stood up after he finished speaking and pulled Wu Song to the back hall.
In this era where Tang poetry and Song poetry were popular, the Qing He magistrate was also a literary giant. The few of them ate wine in the back hall while writing poems and songs.
"Erlang! I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry to hold the wedding so hastily. You didn't even invite me to join in the fun. Do you want to punish yourself by drinking a cup?”
"Yes, yes. I'll drink it now.”
Then, the Qing He order reached into his sleeve and said,"This official has twenty taels of silver. You can take it and buy some jewelry for the bride."”
"Sir, you can't do that." Wu Song suddenly said.
"It's fine, it's fine. If there's a chance, I'll definitely pay a visit.
After I settle this matter for you today, you must go back and study well! She mustn't neglect her studies because of a man and a woman.”
The Clear River Magistrate said as he stuffed silver into Wu Song's hands.
"My dear son-in-law, since Sir has such good intentions, you should accept this silver!”
Minister Zhang also interjected.
"Thank you, sir. After Wu Song returns, he will definitely work hard. I won't be greedy for beauty!" After saying that, he bowed to this fellow.
Constable Liu brought a few servants to Zhang Manor and pushed the door open. The servants did not dare to stop him.
"Which one of you is the Zhang Manor's butler? Quickly call him out.”
Butler Zhang was shocked. Then, he walked over and said,"Dear officials, what are you doing?"
"You must be the butler of the Zhang Manor, right? Someone, bring him back. Our master has invited you!"
Constable Liu waved his hand, and the people below held the butler down.
"Let go of me, I'm rebelling against you! I'm Old Master Zhang's housekeeper!"
"I'm taking you, the butler of the Zhang residence! Take him away."
"Is there still law? "I…" Butler Zhang was carried out by two dental guards.
After a while, the Clear River Magistrate went to the hall again.
"The person under the hall is the butler of the Zhang residence.”
"Daren, I don't know why you brought me here, squire! I…"
"How dare you, kneel down when you see me.”
With a loud shout, the tooth servant waved the merciless staff in his hand and whipped the back of the butler's knees.
"Ouch…"
Butler Zhang knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Little San! Old Master, I asked you to go to my son-in-law's house to make a scene in the bridal chamber. How dare you tease my daughter, Jinlian? You're really tired of living!"
Minister Zhang stood up and shouted at the butler.
"Master, me? This?"
The butler, who was kneeling on the ground, was dumbfounded.
"Butler Zhang, why did you bring people to my house and curse my wife, Golden Lotus?”
Wu Song pointed at the guy on the ground and asked.
"Lord, Old Master, you have to help me! This Wu Erlang was the one who complained first! He gave the little one a good beating and even threw the little one into the manure pit.”
"Shut up, you dog slave. I told you to go to my daughter's house and make a scene in the nuptial chamber. How dare you insult my daughter, Golden Lotus?”
As squire Zhang's skin itched, the Clear River Magistrate immediately slapped the chopping board.""Cross them out and give them ten beatings first!”
"Master, master, how can you do this to me?”
Butler Zhang was pressed onto a bench by two bailiffs, and the pair of bailiffs behind him waved their Merciless Water and Fire Cudgels.
"Aiyo! Aiyo…"
After the ten strokes, Minister Zhang walked to Wu Song's side,"Beloved son-in-law, you've finally vented your anger this time, right? If you still think it's not enough, I'll let this servant come to your house and serve you daily.”
"I don't need it. I, Wu Song, and Golden Lotus can't afford it.”
"Aiyaya, I say, Wu Song! I have long heard that the daughter of the councilor Zhang is beautiful. When I return home, I will also go to the councilor's house to have fun with you.”
The Clear River Magistrate also seized the opportunity to smooth things over.
"Right, right, right. When the time comes, I will definitely invite you to my Zhang Manor to have a lively time.”
"By the way, my dear son-in-law, do you think you and Jinlian will be free tomorrow?”
" This..." Wu Song really didn't expect this Minister Zhang to be so shameless and willing to use such a trick.
He did not expect these two old things to sing the same tune. It seemed that he was going to be the son-in-law of the Zhang residence today!
Although she wanted to reject him, she didn't know what to say!
This Golden Lotus had become the old silver thief's daughter, and he had become the old silver thief's son-in-law. It seemed that he could not pull her away even if he wanted to.
Looking at Wu Song's hesitant look, the Qing He Ling added,""Erlang! I happen to be free tomorrow, so why don't you bring Jinlian back tomorrow? What do you think?"
……
"Sigh! Forget it, I'll let Daren return tomorrow!”
Wu Song knew that this Qing He Ling and Minister Zhang were in the same boat. He treated him like this because he valued his future.
If he continued to refute these two nobles, he would not have a good ending!
After all, he was just a commoner now, while the Qing He Magistrate was a powerful official, and the Zhang family was a local noble family. These two people were in the same boat, and they were not to be trifled with!
