Chapter 26 Prepare the ship to depart

As soon as Zhou Ning changed his clothes, Lin Zhutou walked in, holding a few pieces of paper in his hand, and gave Zhou Ning a simple salute: "My lord, this is the transcript you wanted." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Well, put it down." Zhou Ning sat down and picked up the transcript that had just been sorted out: "Tell me to prepare the boat and go to Shixi Village immediately." ”

"Yes." Lin Zhutou clasped his fists and saluted, turned around and went out to arrange.

Lu Qing hurriedly poured a cup of tea and put it in Zhou Ning's hand, and took out two packs of dim sum and tied them around his waist. Childe didn't seem to be able to eat dinner again, so he could only deal with it on the road.

Lu Qingzhen doesn't understand, everyone is rushing to be an official, and they can live this kind of life with black yarn on their heads?

Zhou Ning's eyes stared at the record, looking down at ten lines at a glance, and he was reluctant to turn his head when he reached out to touch the teacup. Lu Qing picked up the teacup and handed it to him, and he drank a cup of tea in two sips.

Lu Qing hurriedly picked up the pot and filled another cup, he frowned slightly and didn't dare to say anything. Looking at this kind of son, he was really a little distressed.

When the son was at home, he was also dressed in fine clothes, and he had to pay attention to his demeanor and demeanor. What is the image of picking up a cup and taking a sip now?

"My lord" Master walked in and nodded slightly at Zhou Ning: "I heard that I am going to Shixi Village soon?" ”

Zhou Ning must take his master with him when he goes out to solve the case, and Lin Zhutou must inform him to prepare early. Zhou Ning nodded and let out a faint 'um'.

When Zhou Ning asked about the case just now, the master was listening behind the screen. The master is the master of the former magistrate, and he is used to hearing trials, but in fact, many times the decision of the magistrate is the master's idea.

Lao Zhixian left, and after Zhou Ning took over, the original team did not move. There was no major change of blood in the new officials, but a few new rules were established.

The new official will definitely have to burn three fires when he takes office, and everyone is mentally prepared. They all felt that the newcomer was better fooled when he was young, and he set up a few rules on a whim, and slowly forgot about it.

It's normal for young people to be impulsive and impatient. Zhou Ning's three fires burned for a long time, and they didn't see the fire weaken for almost three months, but they burned more and more.

The third class of officials has also been a little overwhelmed for a few months, and since Zhou Ning came, their 'oil and water' has been gone.

I can't be as casual as before, and there are more tasks every day. This is to usher in a magistrate, who is clearly a plague god, cutting off their financial route and their freedom.

In the past, they scolded the people at will, scolded when they opened their mouths, and beat them when they raised their hands. Now even the people who come to complain have to 'serve with a smile', where can this be tolerated?

The master is almost sixty years old, and the toss of following Zhou Ningdong all day long is embarrassing enough. He had just returned, and when he heard that he was about to leave again, he couldn't help but complain a little in his heart.

"My lord, it's getting late, so why don't you go over early tomorrow morning." The master didn't dare to say anything else, no matter how much he complained, he could only complain in his heart, he never dared to declare it, and he told the truth nonsense, which was not going to get along with his own job.

"What is the morning and evening of the investigation?" Zhou Ningcai didn't care what time it was, he only knew that it was urgent to avenge the people's grievances.

He slammed the transcript on the table, picked up a cup of tea and smelled it, and raised his eyes to look at his master.

"Master, where do you think this case should be?" Zhou Ning read the transcript from beginning to end, and several doubts became clearer and clearer.

The master is well aware of the progress of the whole case, he has been listening to the trial behind the screen, and he has also participated in the compilation of this record.

"When starting with the Niu family, first check whether there are any suspicious people among the outsiders who send relatives, and focus on those who have committed adultery." The master shook the folding fan, shook his head and said: "Wine is the root of all disasters, and the drunken people at the banquet must be investigated." ”

"Hmm." Zhou Ning looked at the master noncommittally: "And then?" ”

"I need to check Zhang Liu's usual style to see if she has any fornication with others." Master added: "The first to sue is not necessarily the good people, sometimes some people are the most wicked people to sue first, in order to confuse the public in order to escape responsibility." ”

Zhou Ning nodded slowly: "What else?" ”

The master sighed: "There is also the deceased, we must check who the deceased had close contact with before his death, whether there is any good relationship, and whether there is a jealousy of the wind." ”

There was no clue about what to start at all, so the master pointed out N more than one entry point in a few words, which one sounded so reasonable.

But if you really want to investigate one by one as he said, I am afraid that there will be no hope of solving this case. Zhou Ning suspected that this was a radical. A love case is not like a premeditated crime.

The speed of detection of such a case must be fast, and it will be difficult to find the real culprit if it is slow. Like the master said, check one thing at a time, and when you find out, I'm afraid the daylilies will be cold.

It is undeniable that the master's method is very decent, and no one can find any faults, which is the way to be an official. It doesn't matter if the case can be solved or not, the important thing is that you didn't make a mistake.

There is neither slackness nor violation of any regulations, and he has been actively investigating, so that the official can do it for a long time.

Zhou Ning doesn't like to be an official like this, what he thinks about is how to solve the case as soon as possible, not how to show his efforts to the people above.

"You're right." Zhou Ning sighed softly: "I also found a few suspicious points, I don't think there is any need for those guests of the Niu family to investigate, because this murder was committed by an acquaintance." ”

Zhou Ning's tone was very determined, which made both the master and Lu Qing feel a little confused. How did he know that the guests were going to be fine?

"You see that she said that she usually pushes the mill until about the hour, and the murder happened at the time of the hour, which shows that the murderer knows the situation of their family very well, and she wants to sneak into the Zhang family while she is not busy yet."

Zhou Ning also knew that this reason seemed to be too far-fetched, and the time of the crime was likely to be just a coincidence, but he still had a suspicion that could prove that it was an acquaintance who committed the crime.

He was just about to continue, when Lin Zhutou reported at the door: "My lord, the boat is ready." ”

"Let's go." Zhou Ning got up and walked out, and Lu Qing and Master had to follow.

Zhang Liu finally caught the last ferry, and when she returned home, she was already hungry. All day long, she drank some water in the side hall of the yamen, and half a grain of rice didn't get into her mouth.

She is really not in the mood to eat, and the Five Organs Temple cannot be credited, no matter what the reason, it is not okay to sacrifice one less meal. As the saying goes, people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.

Zhang Liu didn't bother to take a look at the spirit shed, went directly into the house to the kitchen, grabbed a black bun and stuffed it into his mouth.
