    Chapter 70

    Shi Hua didn¡¯t know how to taste this dinner. She was a little distracted. Xie Ling served her soup, put it aside, and asked in a warm voice: "Is there something on your mind?"

    Shi Hua suddenly came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and said, "No, it's okay."

    After dinner, Xie Ling went to study as usual. Holding a candlestick, he stood at Shi Hua's door and said, "Ah Jiu, go to bed early."

    Shi Hua nodded and watched the dim yellow light gradually move towards the attic stairs. The young man's tall and tall figure almost blocked the light. With wide shoulders and long legs, he had grown into an adult.

    Shi Hua turned around, closed the door, and let out a long sigh. Even she herself didn't know why the sadness in her heart came from. Why did she sigh?

    The next morning, Xie Ling sent Shi Hua off to Xuanhu Hall early in the morning, and then headed to the south of the city. He didn't look back, so naturally he didn't see Shi Hua standing on the steps, watching him go away.

    When Xie Ling arrived in the south of the city, he did not go directly to the school. Instead, he went in the direction of the county government office. Two guards were standing guard at the gate of the county government office. When they saw someone coming, one of them shouted: "Stand, what are you doing?"  of?"

    Xie Ling bowed her hands towards the man and said, "Xie Ling, a new imperial examination candidate, came to pay a special visit to Magistrate Li. I would also like to ask you two to inform me."

    "As he spoke, he took out the post. When the two officers heard that he was a new candidate for the imperial examination, they quickly said: "It turns out to be the master of the examination."

    One person respectfully accepted the post and said: "Wait a moment, I will go and inform you."

    Another officer hurriedly led Xie Ling to rest in the entrance room. It was a small room with a set of tables and stools. The officer poured tea diligently. After a while, the officer who reported the news came back and said, "Thank you."  Master, come with me."

    Xie Ling stood up and nodded: "Thank you."

    The officer led him into the back hall. Magistrate Li was already waiting. The two greeted each other. Li Jingzhai smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to come today. It's really unexpected. Sit down. Please take a seat."

    After he finished speaking, he asked someone to bring tea. The two of them chatted for a while, and then Xie Ling explained the purpose of his visit: "To be honest, brother Jingzhai, I'm here for one thing today."

    When Li Jingzhai saw him mentioning business, he became more serious and said, "Please speak."

    Xie Ling said: "That's right. Brother Jingzhai, does he remember the severe drought in Linmao area eight years ago?"

    Li Jingzhai replied: "Why don't you know? There was a severe drought that year, and I don't know how many people died. I heard that there were as many as 100,000 refugees in groups. Countless people died, and they starved to death everywhere."

    Xie Ling said: "That's when I fled to Suyang."

    Li Jingzhai was slightly surprised: "I didn't expect Brother Xie Xian to have such an experience."

    Xie Ling smiled and said: "Back then, I followed my father's will and brought the family tokens with me to Suyang to seek refuge with Shibo. I was lucky enough to find that Shibo."

    Li Jingzhai nodded and said happily: "This is a good thing."

    Xie Ling was noncommittal and said, "If it was a good thing, I wouldn't come to see Brother Jingzhai today."

    When Li Jingzhai heard that there was something hidden in it, he said, "But what happened?"

    Xie Ling said: "One day Uncle Shi asked me to go and hand over my father's relic, which is the family heirloom that I have always carried, which is a goldfish and jade pendant."

    Li Jingzhai frowned and said, "How could you, the uncle, do such a thing? Asking a child for his father's relics is too much. Didn't you give it to him later?"

    Xie Ling shook his head and said: "I was so angry at that time, how could I agree? So I took advantage of the rainy night and left Shibo's house with my sister. I'm afraid Brother Jingzhai couldn't have imagined what happened next."

    Li Jingzhai really asked: "What? What happened?"

    Xie Ling said: "The Su Mansion refused to give up. They sent servants to stay behind us all night. They beat my sister seriously, almost to the point of death, and then took away the goldfish and jade pendant."

    Li Jingzhai took a breath, slammed the table hard, and said angrily: "There are still people like this, attacking two children who have no strength to restrain a chicken, they are worse than animals!"

    Xie Ling bowed her hands to him and said, "That's why I came to visit Brother Jingzhai today because of this matter. According to Brother Jingzhai, how should this matter be judged?"

    Hearing this, Li Jingzhai twirled his beard and thought: "According to our Daqian law, those who rob other people's property should return the property they robbed. Thirty rods and two years. Those who usurp other people's property should return the property they robbed.  Forty, three years of apprenticeship, the jade pendant is a relic passed down to you by your father, and it can be regarded as your only family property."

    ???

    The servant was sprayed with spit on his face and lowered his head without daring to say a word. However, Su Han heard a thud behind him and turned around in shock. It was Mrs. Su who fell down.

    "Mom!"

    In an instant, there was a lot of chaos, pinching people and calling the doctor. Mrs. Su slowly woke up. She stared blankly at the beams above her eyes, then remembered what night it was, and then suddenly  He grabbed Su Han's hand and urged in panic: "Go quickly! Go to my room quickly."

    Su Han supported her and asked puzzledly: "What is mom going to do?"

    Mrs. Su didn't have time to explain to him, so she sat up and hurried to the room, took out the box containing the jade, opened it and saw that there was only a jade pendant inside. Mrs. Su took the jade and gritted her teeth to smash it on the ground.

    Su Han saw her and quickly stopped her and said, "Mom, what are you doing? Why did you smash this jade like this?"

    Mrs. Su's eyes were red and she said in a trembling voice: "If it weren't for this jade, how could your father be arrested and taken to the county government today?"

    She said sadly: "I should have known that Xie Ling was not well-intentioned. I tried to persuade her again and again, but your father refused to listen to me and still dreamed of riding a dragon to become a son-in-law."

    Su Han frowned and said, "Don't cry, tell me what's going on?"

    Mrs. Su wiped away her tears and explained the matter in detail. Su Han said, "What else am I asking for? It turns out it's because of this. Mother, you are making too much fuss."

    Mrs. Su asked anxiously: "What should I say?"

    Su Han replied: "Who knows what happened back then? It's been so long. He can't let the magistrate convict my father just by saying nothing. Xie Ling can't let the magistrate convict my father. There is a law in Daqian, so let's go to the Yamen right now."  Just tell the county magistrate that these two pieces of jade originally belonged to my family, but were later stolen by Xie Ling and discovered by us. Now that he has raked them up, isn't it okay?"

    After hearing this, Mrs. Su felt that it made sense. She nodded repeatedly and breathed a sigh of relief, saying: "It was my mother who was anxious just now. That's right, that's right. That jade book belongs to our family. It was my mother's dowry.  The list is there, but Xie Ling has no evidence, Han'er, let's go to the county government office."

    Su Han also showed a smile and nodded, excitement flashed in his eyes, Xie Ling was about to fall into a trap now!

    ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù

    It¡¯s still unclear who will win.

    ¡ª¡ªOf course he died in the hands of Xie Xiaowu, from the author of the spoiler.
