Chapter 239: Mrs. Xu sends a concubine
(Cat flutter Chinese) "What?"
Shakuchi, who ran to the bedroom, said next to Lotte again: "The pavilion in the county mansion came to report that Zhang Zhixian committed suicide by hanging a beam in the county mansion last night!" ”
Lotte summed it up, he was in office for a year, and the sum of all kinds of income was only more than 300 yuan, if you add some gray income such as money, it was only a thousand yuan a year, and the former Qiantang County Lord was an official for three years, even if he was greedy, at most he would not get more than 10,000 yuan of silver, wouldn't he spend it, and he would have to pay some filial piety, and it would be good to be able to save five or six thousand yuan of silver in three years, and it would be really impossible to fill the hole of eight thousand yuan.
There was a murder, and it was the former magistrate, so it was naturally much more serious than the ordinary murder, Lotte got up and washed, and ordered Tu Si to convene the official sedan chair honor guard, and then got on the sedan chair and went straight to the county mansion.
When he arrived at the county mansion, Lotte instructed him to conduct an autopsy, and sent Lao Cheng's catcher to check the scene of death, while he called a group of miscellaneous servants in the county mansion and the servants of the deceased Zhang Zhixian outside the courtyard to check them one by one.
Isn't it necessary to fill the gap in this treasury when he dies, Lotte said in his heart, and then instructed the stickers in the county government beside him to copy one of the two account books of the county government, and hand them to the two Zhejiang Road Su Zhengqian envoys who inspected the official discipline and official style, and he was considered to have nothing to do with the case.
I could hear the mourning, only to see the door of the courtyard where the predecessor Zhang Zhixian lived open, and then a few crying figures appeared in Lotte's sight, only to see three women dressed in vegetarian clothes at the door, led by a slightly chubby woman in her forties, followed by two young and beautiful women who were less than ten years old.
Seeing these three women, there was a cha Ling next to him who whispered to Lotte: "This older one is Mrs. Xu, the widow of Zhang Xianzun, and the two young women behind him are Zhang Xianzun's concubines, one of whom is still in Qiantang Ren, and it was a red card for Hua Manlou, which is said to have been given to Zhang Zhixian!" ”
"Sister-in-law's Day condolences!" The county lieutenant Fang, who was following Master Hong, also followed Shi Lidao, glanced at Lotte, and said, "That is the newly appointed county lord of this county. ”
While shouting in his mouth, he rushed to Lotte, and ten fingertips rushed straight to Lotte's face, and there were shakuchi and Tu four next to him, and he saw that Mrs. Xu rushed forward, and immediately protected Lotte with his body, and pushed Mrs. Xu back.
Then Lotte ordered: "Zhang Zhixian is suspected of being afraid of crime and self-benefit, and first ban the old and young of Zhang Zhixian in the county mansion, and wait for the inspection of the official discipline and official style of the Liangzhejiang Road Su Zhengqian to visit the envoy there to have instructions, and then make a judgment!" ”
"You dare to insult the court officials even if you are a shrew, if it weren't for the current identity of you as an official, this official will definitely send you to the county prison?" Lotte was annoyed by the scolding, and shouted again: "What mistakes did your husband make, you shrew also know, don't you really want the official to tell the pass in public?" ”
Hearing Lotte speak like this, Mrs. Xu didn't dare to silence her voice, she knew in her heart that her master had committed a crime, and if she insulted Lotte again, she was afraid that her family would not know how much she would have to suffer in her hands.
Seeing Mrs. Xu enter the courtyard, the county lieutenant turned his head and met the gaze cast by Lotte to him, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, and he could clearly feel the hostility in Lotte's eyes.
From the voice, Lotte could hear that eight or nine were not far from ten, and the hole of eight thousand was placed there, Zhang Zhixian was ridiculed by his wife, the hole was too big to be filled, and finally it became like this.
Very good! These messages were very valuable, and Lotte made a transcript of several testimonies and asked these people to put their fingerprints on them before returning to the county office.
Eight thousand guan is a deficit made by the predecessor Zhang Zhixian under his office, and Qian Jiufen, a small official in the treasury, disappeared during his tenure, and the injured son believes that there is no connection between the two. It doesn't seem to matter if the former magistrate committed suicide in fear of crime, and from a legal point of view, Lord Le does not have any responsibility, and to some extent, except for the unaccounted for the treasury official, no one needs to be responsible. But when he came to Qiantang to take office, he had to suffer some burdens more or less, which was a headache for Lotte. Besides, what kind of gossip is not there, how much affects his official reputation.
Throwing this case to the officials in Hangzhou Mansion had a headache, Lotte thought in his heart.
Shakutachi is regarded as a long-term companion by Rakuten.,Waiting by your side at any time.。 Although Tu Si was kept by Lotte's side, he was transferred to the Imperial City Division, responsible for the contact between Lotte and the subordinates of the Imperial City Division, so he knew a lot about the things that were inquired into by the Imperial City Division, and immediately said to Lotte: "According to the news from the brothers below, this person is good at gambling, drinking, and greedy, and the wine is even worse, but he has a good abacus and a good account, so he was appointed as the Charge Division, and it is said that the Qian Xiaoguan in charge of the treasury has learned abacus from this Wang Charge Division." ”
While Lotte was talking, my sister-in-law Li Liang came from the back door of the county government and said to Lotte: "My brothers have passed the word to the officials, and today a Jiangxi merchant came, first went to the old house of the Qian Xiaoguan to see the old house and changed the owner, and then went to the residence of the king, and now he is still in the house of the king. ”
Li Liang had just retreated, only to hear a report from the inner hall, saying that Mrs. Xu and the two concubines of the former Zhang Zhixian family were waiting for him in the county mansion, saying that they had found important clues and reported to Master Le.
Gossip aside, Lotte took a group of subordinates to the county mansion again, and just arrived in front of the courtyard where Mrs. Xu lived, Mrs. Xu had already greeted the door in linen and filial piety, followed by Zhang Zhixian's two-room concubine.
What's going on?
"If there's something to talk about, just talk about it here!" First, Lotte was disgusted with the bad luck in the yard, and secondly, he was afraid that this woman would go crazy, so Lotte said from afar.
