On the second day of the opening of the porridge window in Xia Fu, many beggars came. Fortunately, Jiang Lu's method was not bad, it did not cause chaos in Xia Mansion, but gave those who were in urgent need of help a chance to live.

However, Jiang Lu told Xia Ji that because it is now a period of high food prices, the cost of this way of giving porridge to help the poor is not small, according to the current situation of these beggars, the kitchen can just cope, and the beggars will only increase after the year.

In view of this situation, Xia Ji asked Jiang Lu to buy another wagon of grain for later use, and deal with it first.

Xia Ji was very satisfied with the porridge window, and her mood was just a little better, when she heard a report from the soldiers guarding the courtyard, saying that Master Shi Han He asked to see Mrs. Xia. Natsuhime understands that this is a showdown.

Before Ling Shi came in, Xia Ji put her phone on the side as usual, and the camera function turned on to the place reserved for Ling Shi.

After Ling Shi came in to greet Mrs. Xia Ji, he took out a big bag of things and said to Xia Ji: "Mrs. Xia, yesterday the lower officials visited with the Inspector, and due to the nervousness of official affairs, I was rude to you, so I came to apologize to you today." ”

"Master Shi is serious, since it is a business matter, what is the rudeness? I appreciate your kindness, but I can't take these things. Master Ling Shi didn't do anything wrong, and he didn't need to apologize to Xia Fu. "Xia Ji was very disgusted with Ling Shi bringing things into the door, thinking to herself, who do you think I am? Can't be bought by your little thing casually?

"The first day of the Lunar New Year is the first day of the Spring Festival, and it is rude to disturb the Xia Mansion on that day but come in empty-handed. These things are just personal holiday gifts to Mrs. Xia, just some local products from Xiaguan's hometown. Ling Shi was a little embarrassed, obviously he was not the kind of person who could talk sleek and sophisticated.

"There is no merit and no merit, the concubine has no official and no position, and it is very inappropriate to accept things from Lord Ling Shi, and I can't provide any help to Lord Ling Shi. Besides, there is no difference between the first and second junior high school in official affairs, and everyone in Xia Mansion will not care, so Master Shi does not have to worry about himself. Xia Ji knew that although these things were not sugar-coated shells, the purpose of the gift must be related to Kong Du's death.

"Mrs. Xia, it's really just a little meaning. You don't have to feel any pressure, and as you said, you're not an official of the imperial court, and sending you some local products is not a bribe, it's just a personal courtesy. ”

"I suppose the adults are here today not necessarily just to deliver things, right?" Xia Ji knew that if she didn't let go of the topic of this gift, Ling Shi would not tell the true purpose of Xia Mansion.

"Mrs. Xia Bingxue is smart. Today, one is to apologize, and the other is to inform you of something. ”

"What's going on?" Xia Ji had actually guessed what Ling Shi was going to say, because it had been seen from the mobile phone video that he was determined to overthrow Kong Du's cause of death, but the causal relationship was not clear.

"Mrs. Xia, a few years ago, Xia Guan came to Xia Mansion to examine Kong Du's body, but there was a misjudgment because of the dim light. The officials and supervisors carefully re-examined Kong Du's body and found that the original judgment was too hasty and the judgment was wrong. ”

"Misjudged? What do you mean by that? ”

"The day before yesterday, I carefully examined it with the supervisor and after repeated thinking and comparing previous cases, both the lower officials and the supervisor believed that Kong Du's cause of death was more consistent with hanging suicide."

"Master Ling Shi, you were convincing before, and you also wrote a verification document, and now you say that you will overturn it, have you considered your professional ethics?" If Xia Ji hadn't watched the video of the two of them entering the morgue, maybe she would have believed his words a little, after all, people seemed so sincere.

"Mrs. Xia, it is precisely based on professional ethics that I came to re-examine and review with the Inspector, and the day before yesterday, I found that Kong Du left a suicide note in his clothes, which also proves the fact that Kong Du committed suicide, I hope you can understand this matter."

"Hope I understand? I don't understand that you can overturn it as you want, does my understanding matter? Xia Ji decided that there must be no simple thing behind this.

"Mrs. Xia, after all, Kong Du and Wang Xin are both from the Xia Mansion, and this conclusion hopes to be recognized by the Xia Mansion." Ling Shi finally mentioned Wang Xin, and it seems that overturning the case for Wang Xin is the point.

"What about Xia Fu's approval? What happens if you don't approve of it? Natsuhime wondered if the words meant to be threatening.

"This subordinate is not clear, he just acts according to the rules, since he is from the Xia Mansion, of course the facts of the case should be recognized by the Xia Mansion." Shi Ling's words were obviously prevaricating, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that once the Xia Mansion recognized Kong Du as a suicide, then Wang Xintie would definitely be acquitted.

"Master Ling Shi, the concubine is just a people's woman, and she can't be the master, so when Lord Sima comes back, you can ask him in person. Please bring these things back, your concubine has received it, but if you don't take the things, the concubine can only be handed over to Lord Sima and let him send them to your house. Xia Ji was very dissatisfied with Ling Shi's rebellion, but there was no way to find out why he was like this.

Ling Shi was embarrassed, so he had to say goodbye to Xia Ji and bring things back the way they came.

Sending Ling Shi away, Xia Ji fell into deep thought: it is too unusual for two ordinary criminal soldiers to have so many officials trying to rescue each other. If their interests were not involved, who would have acted in such a way to cover up the truth?

And Kong Du's family is even more strange, first they did not come to collect the body, but waited for the second autopsy before collecting the body, and when the body was collected, it was quiet, without a trace of dissatisfaction and resistance, and completely accepted the result of Kong Du's suicide, why is this?

When Ling Shi first came to examine Kong Du's body, he was professional, rigorous, and awe-inspiring, and only two days later, he changed his morality, and colluded with the inspectors who came with him, pointing the deer as a horse, who was manipulating all this behind his back?

In this world, apart from Uncle Xia Yu, who else can I trust? These two soldiers are the guards of the Xia Mansion, but they are doing things that are enemies of the Xia Mansion, can this make people feel safe? She knew too many examples of the consequences of the disloyalty of the guards with weapons to her master: Chen Sheng, who was hacked to death from behind by a coachman, and Indira Gandhi, who was shot and killed by Sikh guards.
