When Xin Yi woke up the next day, Xiao Yuanyou was gone, and Xiao Rusi was sitting next to her playing with Nine Rings.

Seeing Xin Yi wake up, the fat tuanzi threw the nine rings in his hand and threw it on her, "Mother." ”

Although Xin Yi was not overwhelmed, he still choked in the end.

She moved the fat ball down, tickled him, and tickled Xiao Rusi to giggle, writhing like a caterpillar.

"King, spare your life......" Xiao Rusi begged for mercy.

Xin Yi's hand that was originally scratching Zhenghuan stopped, and his fair face turned red uncontrollably.

She remembered that when she was still in the capital, one day she was in the room with the fifth brother, and the fifth brother pressed her under her and scratched her, and she also shouted like this at that time, 'The king spares his life.' ’

I remember that Xiao Rusi rushed in from the outside at that time, but at that time, the little fat group was not good at talking, so he can't remember it now, right?

It can only be said that if there is a ghost in the heart, everything is a ghost......

However, Xin Yi still thinks that it is necessary to pay attention in the future, although Xiao Rusi is still young now, but the little fat group is very shrewd, and the idlers can't be fooled, but they often fool Zhenxiang and the nurse.

After playing with Xiao Rusi for a while, Xin Yi got up and had breakfast, handed Rusi to the nurse, and took Zhenxiang and a few maids to take care of the luggage they brought from the capital.

"Madam, this west chamber is warmer than the east chamber, do you think you should clean up the west chamber and make a study for adults? People living in the East Chamber? ”

Xin Yi looked at it for a while and shook his head, "No need, it's still the East Chamber's study, if it's Leng, regenerate a charcoal basin, this northern land is cold, and the house must be warm." ”

Xin Yi didn't ask Xiao Yuanyou, and replied with a smile.

When Zhenxiang heard this, he immediately commanded the manservant to bring in boxes of books, Xin Yi looked at those books and ordered,

"Take out the books and pile them in one place, and I'll take care of them later."

Some of them were sorted out by her from Master Chaotianguan's former residence, and there were some of the former Master's handbooks.

After a busy morning, Xin Yi beat his waist, the inner house really has all kinds of unexpected things.

The yard was big, the house was big, and after the furniture they brought with them was laid out, the house still looked empty.

Zhenxiang frowned a little, whether it was an adult or a lady, where had I ever lived in such a simple house before, it was an adult, although he had stayed in the barracks, but the Xiao Mansion in the capital looked simple, whether it was ornaments or furniture, it was carefully selected by His Majesty.

But now, Zhenxiang said, "Madam, why don't we find a question, is there a better wood shop in this and the county, buy something and come back to fill it, this yard is also empty." ”

Xin Yi smiled, "No, we all have what we want to use, this yard is so big, where can it be filled?" Just right, the vacated space is for Rusi to play, and it can also be opened around. ”

Zhenxiang has never served other noble masters, but she still thinks that these two of her family are too unsophisticated.

Does the little grandfather need so many places to wander around?

"Madame can really save, if you want the slave to see so much open space, it is better to grow vegetables, the meat in the north is cheap, the vegetables are surprisingly expensive, if you can grow vegetables, Madame is really provincial."

Zhenxiang laughed out loud and said angrily.

This sentence seemed to hit a certain nerve of Xin Yi, she especially agreed with what Zhenxiang said, clapping her hands and praise,

"What you said is very true, let's grow vegetables, let Eleven ask if there are any people who know how to grow vegetables."

Really fragrant, "......"

She shouldn't say this casually, does she really want the dignified Xin family girl to be a peasant woman who grows vegetables?

In the future, when the old lady finds out, will she sell her?

Maka is worried.

She still wants to serve her wife, she doesn't want to be sold.

She wanted to cry, "Madam, you are so ...... Are you really planning to grow vegetables? How is this going to be planted? ”

There is no need to think about whether the old lady will sell her in the future, and when the adult comes back from the front yamen, maybe she will have to go to Xiao Yi to receive the punishment!

I just hope that a commander will be merciful.

Xin Yi didn't know what Zhenxiang was thinking, and still said with a smile, "Give it a try, there are long winters and short summers here, I used to see in the master's handbook that I couldn't eat vegetables in a winter, if it can be done, how good it would be!" ”

Xin Yi said that he would do it, and sent the little girl to call Xiao Yi in, and asked him to find someone who is proficient in growing vegetables, as for vegetable seeds, my grandmother asked people to stuff a large bag over, and I heard that there were flower seeds and vegetable seeds in it.

When the time comes, let those who know how to divide it, and plant what can be planted.

The people who lived in front and those who traveled were taken care of, and after Xinyi was done, he went to the kitchen again.

When it was almost noon, Xiao Yuanyou had not come back yet, Xin Yi thought about it, changed his clothes, carried the food box and walked forward.

However, he never expected that when he got to the front, Xin Yi was stopped by the official at the door.

The original gatekeeper didn't know where he went, and there were a few more eye-catching officials at the door, and then together, it seemed that there were a lot more people in the yard.

"This is the new county magistrate, you dare to stop outside."

Before Xin Yi could say anything, a voice sounded unhurried and teasing.

I saw that the female catcher who was a little hostile to Xin Yi yesterday quickly walked out of the courtyard, one hand on the scimitar at her waist, and the whole person looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

When the officials heard the words of the female catcher, they couldn't hide their surprise on their faces.

But in the end, he was well-informed and knew that the new county magistrate was taking office with his wife and children, especially his wife's identity.

Soon, several officials reacted, and they all bowed.

"I've seen Madame."

Xin Yi looked at a few officials and asked, "Is the prefect from above here?" ”

In this Yanzhou County, the person who can take people in and out of the yamen of the county government at will is probably the prefect.

"Exactly." The officer at the door replied.

With the prefect here, it will be a little bad to send the food box in again, Xin Yi thought about it, turned around and left with the food box.

The female catcher standing on the steps looked at Xin Yi with some condescendingness, and shouted,

"Won't Mrs. County Commander go in? Also, in the end, the county government is the place to handle cases, and it is better not to go in and out casually. ”

There was some schadenfreude in the female catcher's tone.

After all, Xin Yi is a lady of the back house, and unlike her, the woman catches fast and can enter the yamen freely and freely.

Xin Yi stopped, the book often says that the relationship is born from the heart, and the face of this female catcher is not a mean person, but there are some blessings in it.

But what the female catcher said quickly sounded aggressive, implying a gesture of looking down on her.

"Have we seen this head catcher before?" Xin Yi asked.

The female catcher didn't expect Xin Yi to ask a question, she was startled, and stammered a little, "No...... I haven't seen it, what's wrong? ”

Xin Yi smiled, "Then did we have a holiday before?" ”

The female catcher was fast, "I didn't have a holiday, I just looked at you twice." ”

Xin Yi naturally didn't believe what she said, and couldn't figure out what this person meant for a while, so he smiled and turned around to leave.

Her attitude seemed to anger the female catcher, "You wait! ”

The female catcher quickly jumped down from the steps, and in a few steps she came to Xin Yi, her face flushed,

"If you say that there is no festival, you don't have a festival, why don't you say it and leave. What do you mean by laughing? Laugh at me? ”

Xin Yi felt inexplicable, how did this kid become a female catcher? The brain doesn't look very bright.

What do you want her to say? Do you want to thank them for not having a holiday?

"Weiwei...... Did you bring food? In the main courtyard, Xiao Yuanyou and a few people came out, and when they saw Xin Yi, they immediately stopped her.

Xin Yi handed the food box to Zhenxiang on the side, immediately straightened his robe, and turned around to salute a few people around Xiao Yuanyou.

"I've seen adults."

"If the official is not mistaken, this is Wangting's granddaughter." The officer at the head asked in a gentle tone.

Xin Yi said, "Exactly." ”

Xiao Yuanyou stepped forward to introduce the two, "Weiwei, this is Lord Huang, the prefect." My lord, this is Uchiko......"

Lord Huang laughed like Maitreya Buddha, and said,

"I am your grandfather's classmate, and you are also my junior, now that you and Lord Xiao have come all the way here, this will not be the time to talk, wait a few days, I will ask my wife to give you a post."

Although the relationship between Xin Yi and Xin Wangting is not as good as that of the old lady, the two also chat often, especially before getting married, when she goes back to the Xin family once, her grandfather will talk about it once.

He said a lot, but he didn't say that there was such a classmate in Yanzhou, and it was estimated that he was not very close.

It's just that people took the initiative to throw an olive branch, and it didn't work if they didn't take it, so they replied respectfully.

"Thank you for your concern, the younger generation will definitely come to visit."

Lord Huang bowed his head slightly, and said to Xiao Yuanyou,

"If such a big thing happens, I won't hold a reception banquet for the time being, and I hope Lord Xiao will forgive me."

Xiao Yuanyou said, "The case is important. ”

"Then leave it to Lord Xiao to deal with it, Lord Xiao will handle the case, and everyone will be relieved."

He said that he really didn't ask if he gave it all to Xiao Yuanyou, as if he came over just to say hello.

After a few more words, he immediately took the people and left.

Xiao Yuanyou took the food box in Xin Yi's hand, held it in one hand, and held Xin Yi's hand in the other, and slowly walked towards the house.

The room is separated by a row of screens, and the dining table is placed behind the screen, and in front of it is an office place, which is clearly distinguished.

Xin Yi turned the screen and motioned for Xiao Yuanyou to wash her hands, she walked to the table and opened the food box, and took out the dishes inside.

Just after the meal was set, the county Cheng and others who went out of the city to greet him last time rushed in.

Wei Xianling's death is actually a very tricky matter.

Although it is said that the body appears to be intact, there are two problems.

If they really went out of the city recently and were killed, then why haven't they been found in the city for a year?

"Li Xiancheng, please think about it carefully, did the Wei Xianling family ever offend anyone?"

Xiao Yuanyou asked.

Li Xiancheng thought hard and thought, and said,

"I didn't offend anyone, that Lord Wei is modest and magnanimous, to be honest, the temper of the lower official is a little short-tempered, but Lord Wei is in office, no matter what the lower official does, Lord Wei will be careful and tolerant."

"Now think about how tormented Lord Wei was in those days."

Xiao Yuanyou put one hand on the table, and his slender fingers lightly tapped on it,

"In this way, Lord Wei has indeed never offended anyone, so ......"

"Who's in the way?"

Li Xiancheng smiled a little bitterly, not knowing how to answer.

It's just a county order, whose way can it stand in the way?

He thought for a moment and said,

"The address of Hexian County is remote, the adults who have taken office, you can take a look, it is a well-known Confucian, and it is rare not to have a vegetarian meal in his life."

"When I was in office, I made a lot of rules and regulations, and I was rare to be a practical person."

"In the past few years, everyone has acted according to the rules set by that great Confucian."

"For example, Wei Xianling has been gone for about a year, and now all the work in the county is in accordance with the rules, and there is no chaos at all."

Xiao Yuanyou nodded, "Yes, I've heard that the first two Great Confucians are indeed capable ministers of the world. ”

"This year, Wei County Ling dared to leave so simply, because this is a place where the predecessors benefited from governance, and it has always been Xiao Gui Cao's follow, and he has never made any trouble."

This is not, that is not it, everyone fell silent, and they really couldn't imagine who killed Wei Xianling.

Xin Yi behind the screen was a little irritable, only a thousand years of thieves, no thousand years of thieves, if you can't find out the murderer lurking in the shadows.

God knows when another adult will be assassinated.

This case is different from anything I've seen before.

Many cases are in a fixed place to some extent, and the real culprit can always be found.

But now, the case of Lord Wei being killed is a vast sea of people, without a trace, and I don't know where to start.

Xiao Yuanyou thought about it carefully and asked Li Xiancheng,

"I don't know where this Lord Wei went before leaving?"

Generally speaking, as long as it is not a private matter, where the official has gone, basically the people below will know.

Li Xiancheng and Wu Xianwei looked at each other and muttered,

"I don't know what adults mean, after Lord Wei took office, in addition to dealing with official business, most of the rest of the time was in the back house to filial piety to the old mother."

Xiao Yuanyou didn't chase a few questions, but asked,

"So, before and after Lord Wei left, did he have any unprovoked murders in the county?"

Li Xiancheng, Wu Xianwei and a few others thought about it carefully, and checked the past one by one,

"Although Hexian is a border, as long as the enemy does not break through, relatively speaking, it is a peaceful and prosperous era, and the weather is cold, and there are few bandits.

As for the unprovoked murder, there was a merchant who sold baked cakes half a year ago, who died silently at home, and his brother reported that the merchant's daughter-in-law murdered her husband. ”

Wu County Lieutenant said,

"There is also a mountain man who came to report the case, saying that someone died in the same way as the merchant, and the county's work has not been able to detect anything."

In this way, several people talked about the special cases that happened in the county for more than a year.

An old husband ate noodles on the windowsill and died for no reason, and I heard that it was the daughter-in-law of the family who poisoned him.

It was later confirmed that the gecko on the wall peed in the noodles and poisoned the old man.

Then there are children who are greedy for play, fall into the river and drown, but the family does not believe it, and must sue the family members of the children who go to play together, saying that the adults did not discipline the children well, and so on.

Xin Yi listened carefully behind the screen, and she suddenly understood Xiao Yuanyou's intentions, he was asking the case in disguise.

The silent death of the baked cake merchant...... And the mountain people...... Xin Yi's heart was beating a little fast, she felt that this matter was very important, but she couldn't grasp the essentials.

Suddenly, she swallowed her saliva, ignoring the presence of the county Cheng and others outside, and called out, "Fifth brother." ’

She wanted to know what the man would look like when he died.
