The bitter masters had already come closer, and Qin Zheng still had many questions in his heart, so he put on a posture of the prefect and faced those people, and the people who came to receive the money were also busy saluting him: "Lord Qin is good." ”

Since Lin Yuxiao and they came to Mengzhou, Lu Tingqi has never done a crime, and Lin Yuxiao has not seen these bitter masters as a Qin cha, plus the Qin Cha who patrols the heavens has no official position and official robes, he is now sitting on a chair and holding a pet to play, and his idle appearance makes people think of him as the son and nephew of the Qin Governor's Mansion, because no one salutes him first, the Qin Cha who represents the emperor.

Qin Zheng was a little uncomfortable, but Lin Yuxiao had said in advance that he would preside over it, and now he ignored people's attitude, so he could only speak: "Today I want to return your lost property, did you bring the list that was reported lost?" ”

"Brought!" Many people were busy answering.

Some people also asked anxiously: "My lord, I lost the list when I moved, and we recalled writing another one last night, is this okay?" "At the beginning, they never imagined that they could get back their lost belongings, and the list was a sad stimulus for them who were once destitute, who would often take it out and look at it? Outcome......

The list of lost cases is registered when the government files a case, and a copy is made by the owner and the yamen, with the signature and fingerprint of the owner and the official seal, so as to prevent all kinds of new troubles in the reconciliation between the two sides after the recovery in the future.

Now someone has lost the list, and this has happened before, so Qin Zheng only needs to answer according to the old routine: "There is still a list here in the government, if you have read it and have no objection, copy it again, and you can get the lost property back by printing the handprint and seal, if you don't agree." We'll discuss it slowly when everyone is done. ”

"Agreed! Agree! Just make a new copy! "What is there to object to? The belongings they lost were too miscellaneous, and they were only deeply impressed when they first lost them, and they hurriedly recalled last night that the list they wrote down only listed a few extremely valuable items. It's a loss to really press the new list!

There were no objections, Qin Zheng asked the officials and borrowed officers and soldiers to move out the locked wooden boxes one by one, and he opened them one by one with the keys he wore closely.

At the end of last year, the official secretary made it clear that Qin Zheng was ready to take over the post of prefect of Mengzhou, firstly because of his political achievements and because Qin Zheng's ancestral home was in Mengzhou, and he hoped that the scarred people of Mengzhou would not reject and distrust this fellow countryman's new parents.

February of this year. Qin Zheng, who was officially appointed by the official document of the ministry, and then the emperor specially summoned him in the imperial study before he left Beijing, which was indeed special. Because like the magistrate of a medium-sized city from the fourth grade, how can he easily get the qualification of a face saint.

The young Son of Heaven took the initiative to introduce the current situation in Mengzhou, knowing more than Qin Zheng himself, and repeatedly told him that he must listen to Lin Yuxiao when he went to Mengzhou. What Lord Lin said is equivalent to what the emperor said.

Qin Zheng walked with Gonggong Yan in the Empress Dowager's palace all the way. When he arrived in Mengzhou at the same time, he didn't immediately let Governor Li know his identity, it was ordered by Lin Yuxiao, because Lin Yuxiao had already found out that the real culprit of the strange case in Mengzhou was someone from the yamen, and he was afraid that the other party would take advantage of the chaos to do bad things during the handover.

Qin Zheng can understand this, but he just grabbed Lu Tingqi and returned the stolen goods, isn't it too fast? Those stolen goods should be counted and sorted in every household, right?

"Lu Tingqi's matter is too complicated, and he has to go back to the capital to face the saint before deciding. The first thing to return is that I want to gag these people's mouths, and verify one more thing. As for the inventory classification, I've got it done. And what to verify Lin Yuxiao did not say.

Instead, Father-in-law Yan spoke on the side: "Lord Qin, Young Master Lin said that you don't have to worry about everything after you get it right, isn't it good?" Are you worried that Young Master Lin will coax you or are you worried that Young Master Lin will harm you? ”

Speaking of this, Qin Zheng couldn't hold on to the drum in his heart, and then Lin Yuxiao gave him all the keys to the box, in fact, there were only three, Lin Yuxiao said that he was equipped with three kinds of locks, for convenience.

In other words, if you accidentally lose a key, you may lose more than a dozen boxes of belongings! For this, Qin Zheng didn't dare to sleep all night with three keys in his arms!

Why didn't Lord Lin keep holding the key or give it to him today? Qin was still thinking about this problem while opening the boxes, and as the boxes were opened one by one, the owner and bitter owner who had not dared to blink and stare at the boxes couldn't help but shout: "That's my family's moon-white glazed chicken heart jar!" ”

"And my family's jade Buddha beads!"

"My crystal ornaments!"

“……”

Boxes of belongings are a sight to behold, and even though only a few boxes have been moved, someone can't help but rush forward and can't wait to take them all away - even though he may not be able to move even a single box!

Fortunately, there were soldiers, and the waist knives of "Huh" were unsheathed one after another, threatening to stop everyone's footsteps, although they couldn't stop many people from staring at the treasure with red eyes.

"If you want to do this, you won't be able to ...... today" Qin Zheng said with a strong suppression of anger, the scene in front of him made him not dare to easily provoke these people who were about to lose their minds, but was it really good to return the money to these people? Before the property arrived, they were so open-faced, and they really had to carry a huge amount of money......

"Lord Qin doesn't need to be in a hurry, anyway, whoever quiets down, we will do their business first, and in the end, we will have to send them and their belongings home safely." Lin Yuxiao still said unhurriedly, but his words made these people whose reason was about to disappear suddenly sober up.

Since the government asked them to come over, they would not dare not return their belongings, and their bad attitude was not an excuse for the government to give them their belongings? Besides, with so many things, I'm afraid that as soon as they move out of the yamen, more red-eyed people will flock to them, and they still need official protection!

The courtyard finally quieted down, and Qin Zheng finally asked the master and the officials such as Si Cang and Si Hu to take the list that had been recorded, in the order of the original crime, and check the names that had been marked on the box, and ask the owners to go to the box one by one, count them together, and make sure that they signed and led the box according to their fingerprints.

Qin Zheng didn't believe that Lin Yuxiao could divide them so quickly, wouldn't it be that Lu Tingqi was divided according to each family when he got these belongings? Otherwise, why didn't the owner mix a penny into the west family's box?

"My lord, when we counted the losses, we were flustered and undercounted. In fact, we lost tens of thousands of taels of silver! "This is the first lost master and bitter master, He Yuanwai's eldest son, He Da Young Master, He Yuanwai is the first to be killed by Lu Tingqi. Because he died in a hurry and did not make a will, he didn't know how much money his wife and children had in the family.

"That's it, how could my father only keep this little money!" He Yuanwai's second son also helped, and he looked at the unopened boxes like his own.

The people who were waiting on the side did not object to the greedy faces of the two brothers, they waited to see how the government responded, if the government did have a surplus in its hands, then they were all less registered in the first place!

People's hearts are insufficient! Qin Zheng had a straight face and just wanted to reprimand. Lin Yuxiao asked before him this time: "What about these recorded on the list?" Is there an extra one that isn't yours? ”

How could it be more! The two brothers of the He family shook their heads in unison.

"Okay, close the case according to the list first, and you will bring back the one without objection first. Then you can wait on the side, wait for everyone to settle all the accounts, and then we will discuss the remaining ownerless, how about it? Lin Yuxiao can still smile like a spring breeze and be kind to these people.

Sure enough, there is still ownerless gold and silver! And they said that the murderer would not just rob them of their wealth! How could the brothers of the He family not agree. They received the box and waited on the sidelines. And they started this, and then everyone said that they were flustered and reported less, and everyone was reluctant to leave first after receiving their belongings.

Qin Zheng was so angry that he couldn't even drink the tea, he admired Lin Yuxiao's ability to keep smiling and teasing his pet easily, maybe it was because Qin Cha could leave Mengzhou after closing the case, unlike him who had to continue to face these shameless and greedy villains for three years?

There are a total of thirteen owners of the Mengzhou strange case, and each family counts their belongings according to the list, and each family gets an average of more than a dozen boxes. In the blink of an eye, it was time to eat at noon, and those who had finished ordering in front of him were reluctant to leave even if they were hungry. Lin Yuxiao didn't pay attention to them, but just let the people in the yamen not rest at noon, change shifts to eat, and strive to finish things today.

The yamen has just changed the new boss, and the head catcher is also the murderer, who dares to be lazy and slippery at this time, not to mention just changing shifts to eat, even if they are hungry, they have to finish the job beautifully!

Qin Zheng was full of anger, but he couldn't let Lord Qincha, who represented the emperor, go hungry, right? "Lord Lin, Xia Guan has prepared some coarse tea and light rice in the back......"

"Do you think we can get out of here for a while?" Lin Yuxiao smiled and looked at the people who were still waiting there.

Qin Zheng's face couldn't help but sink a little more, there were more than a dozen boxes per person, which contained gold and silver treasures that even three generations could not eat and drink, how could he not be satisfied?

"Lord Qin, let's go eat, I'll just stay here, don't worry, I'll come when I get food." Lin Yuxiao is different from Qin Zheng, the more greedy those people are, the more they look forward to the next good show.

Lord Qincha didn't move, how could Qin Zheng leave to eat by himself? He was just about to say something more, when he saw a young man in scarlet clothes carrying a food box into the courtyard.

Lin Yuxiao is extremely good-looking, gentle as jade, but it will not make people easily misidentify gender, but Xiao Tang is extremely glamorous, it is easy for people to be surprised by not distinguishing gender at first glance, and only at second glance did he know that this was a man, so it inevitably made some people feel regretful.

Born as beautiful as a flower, Xiao Tang himself has long been accustomed to other people's sight, and walked to Lin Yuxiao's side without care: "The food was brought to you, what's going on here?" ”

"Let's see how it goes, and we can finish it by tonight." Lin Yuxiao handed over the pet to Xiao Tang to hold, opened the food box and put the meals on the coffee table one by one, and he ate here.

Xiao Tang lowered his head and gently tugged at the pet's ear: "Xiao Baibai, are you good today?" ”

The pet called Little White Pet to bite at him, and his teeth were all sharp and shiny.

Xiao Tang was not afraid at all: "The anger is not small, it seems that he is still very well-behaved in the morning." "That's why it's such a big fire.

"Lord Qin eats together?" Lin Yuxiao greeted.

"No need, the back hall has prepared it for Qin." Qin Zheng saw that Xiao Tang brought only two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup, the food looked good and smelled fragrant, but the dishes were not big, barely enough for one person to eat, how could he be embarrassed to stretch out his chopsticks.

What Lin Yuxiao said was originally kind words, and he was reluctant to share the meals made by Xiao Tang with others, Qin Zheng made it clear that he didn't eat it, and he just enjoyed it exclusively, and drank two mouthfuls of soup with a chopstick dish, Xiao Tang hugged Xiao Baibai and stopped doing it, and said that he would not be hungry for three meals a day!

Will the owner eat it first or the pet eat it first? Lin Yuxiao glared at Xiao Baibai who had not yet learned the rules warningly, and then asked Xiao Tang: "Did you bring dried meat?" ”

"No, I forgot." Don Jr. only wanted to see the excitement.

He didn't say anything in advance, Lin Yuxiao pointed to the food in front of him, and negotiated with Xiao Baibai amicably: "You ate all the jerky I brought, and now it's only vegetarian, do you want to eat it?"

There is meat! Xiao Baibai stared at a plate of oily and shiny dishes with the sweet smell of osmanthus, the master, you don't keep the promise!

At this time, Lin Yuxiao smiled and generously sandwiched a piece of dish that was remembered by Xiaobaibai, "You can taste it." "Once you taste it, you know he didn't lie to it.

The little white mouth opened wide, and suddenly it seemed to be bigger than its body, but in the blink of an eye, it took the dish into its mouth, and when it closed its mouth, it was still a small and obedient harmless state.

The dish in the entrance has a very friendly oil aroma and sweetness, how can it not be meat...... It really doesn't seem right, but it's reluctant to spit it out, Xiao Baibai swallowed the dish in his stomach, blinked innocently, what did it eat? Why does it look so much like meat?

"Honey juice vegetarian cherry meat," Xiao Tang kindly explained to it, "carrot puree and mashed potatoes are made into pork belly, oily skin as meat skin, steamed and cut into pieces and fried in the pan, the syrup is specially mixed by me, with raisins, green plums, winter melon puree and melon seeds, and sprinkled with ground osmanthus when it comes out of the pot, this dish is a must-order in my restaurant." ”

Xiao Baibai swallowed saliva when he heard it, Zhai food is not its favorite, but if this special syrup is served with diced meat......

"What's wrong with eating sugar-mixed meat so much?" Lin Yuxiao couldn't understand that he also liked sweets, but only in pastries, and he was willing to eat beets that were made by Xiao Tang himself.

Xiao Baibai felt that Lin Yuxiao was not qualified to talk about others or other monsters, so he was even more ......

After lunch, the return of the lost property was also carried out halfway, and still no one left after getting a dozen boxes of treasure that were not bad, they were still sitting on the boxes and waiting for the leftovers, but the difference was that since Xiao Tang appeared, many people's eyes couldn't help but move from the treasure to the face of the young man in scarlet, and there were many of them who were fascinated.

Do you think these people are necessary? The little white paws gradually became longer and sharper, and the surface of the coffee table made of stone began to have scratches.

Dirty your own hands because others are dirty? Lin Yuxiao was even more disdainful.

It is. Xiao Tang didn't care about being watched, now they were watching him laugh, and it was time for him to see them crying in a while.

Thirteen families, Lin Yuxiao did not miscalculate, and officially completed all the settlements at dusk, and several officials in charge of this matter wiped their sweat, but they still didn't dare to relax, because ......, "My lord, the boxes stored in the back house have all been moved, and there is nothing left." (To be continued.) )
