(Cat flutter Chinese) Zhang Zhixian lost 8,000 yuan in the treasury, Lotte has no way of knowing for the time being, but what this Mrs. Xu thinks is to guess seven, seven and eighty-eight. Please search (#¥) to see the most complete! The fastest update

As long as Lotte reports the case to the imperial court, even if Zhang Zhixian hangs himself in fear of crime, the imperial court will confiscate the family property and make up for the shortfall made by Zhang Zhixian.

Looking at the two concubines of his own master, he already felt that it was an eyesore, and letting them out can be regarded as throwing away two packages, and maybe it can prevent the family from ending up as slaves and maids, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

"Madame is very calculating, but the deficit of 8,000 guan is really not a small number, Qiantang is located in a rich place in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, if it is placed in a small county in a remote place, even if the entire county treasury is emptied, it may not be able to make up 4,000 yuan!" For Mrs. Xu's proposal, Lotte shook his head, and his eyes swept over Zhang Zhixian's two-room concubine clan and shook his head even more, although this two-room concubine clan in Zhang Zhixian has a bit of a posture, but it has no lethality at all for a veteran of flowers like Lord Le, who is accustomed to seeing spring flowers and autumn moons.

I don't know what Mrs. Xu meant when she said this, Lotte was surprised, and became more curious about the case, and said comfortingly: "The official has also preliminarily concluded that the little official absconded with the public money, and the lady will make it clear about the deficit involved in Lord Zhang, and the official can judge one or two with Mrs., maybe he can bring back some reputation for Lord Zhang!" ”

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Xu began to cry again.

After a pause, Mrs. Xu continued: "Although it is insulting to make money for officials, it has long been an open secret among the officials of this dynasty. ”

Mrs. Xu replied: "The merchant who came to the door is surnamed Wang Mingzuo, a merchant in this city, this Wang Zuo has begged my family officials to do a few things, and then he became acquainted with the master, my lord in Qiantang This concubine is given by the Wang official as a reward, and the Wang official is going to sea to go back and forth to Goryeo and Dongying, mainly selling silk, tea and porcelain, and each trip can get several times the huge profit, and my lord is moved to ......."

It is not a strange thing for officials in the Great Song Dynasty to do business, that is, the royal family and nobles often do some business to make a living to subsidize their families, but they embezzle the treasury money for trading and profit, and the reputation must be very unbearable.

The only thing he knows about the embezzlement of public funds is the only one who wants to keep his mouth shut is the treasury official Qian Jiufen, and for this reason, even if Qian Jiufen has some minor faults in the plain plain, and even embezzles some small money from the treasury, Zhang Zhixian has the right to treat it as ignorance, and he often takes out his own money bag to fill those small deficits.

In addition to the original capital, Zhang Zhixian embezzled 5,000 public funds from the treasury again, but the two were not very lucky, and when they took the third boat, they encountered a strong storm and waves at sea, and they were capsized, and all sank into the sea.

Mrs. Xu hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord has embezzled 5,000 guan public funds, but my lord has completely filled in the embezzled 5,000 guan public funds before leaving office. ”

"Lord Zhang is so confused, in this case, you might as well explain the matter to the official, why bother looking for a short meeting!" Lotte sighed.

"Madame's Day!" Lotte persuaded, and stepped forward again: "Madam, although this official and Master Zhang have only met once, they are also officials of the same dynasty, and this official should go in to worship." ”

After entering the inner hall, Lotte saw that the dead Zhang Zhixian was placed on a thin wooden bed, covered with a layer of white cloth, and a pair of children dressed in linen and filial piety on the side.

The shakuchi next to him nodded yes.

Goodbye to the corpse of the magistrate, I saw that the white cloth covering his face was wet, and it exuded the strange smell of his déjà vu.

Listening to Lotte's instructions, a concubine from Zhang Zhixian stepped forward to stop him, and said sadly: "My lord, what are you doing, my husband's bones are not cold......

Tu Si stepped forward to uncover the white cloth covering Zhang Zhixian's face, and Lotte looked carefully, only to see Zhang Zhixian lying on the bed board from between his mouth and nose, from time to time there was a trace of brown liquid with medicinal gas flowing out, goodbye Zhang Zhixian's face, the face was only slightly swollen and bruised, and the tip of the tongue did not obviously protrude from the outside of the mouth.

The three accompanying messengers received the order, and at the same time answered the call and left.

Lotte carefully observed Zhang Zhixian's corpse, sniffed his nose, and asked after a while: "Has Lord Zhang been ill recently, and what kind of medicine have you taken in the past few days?" ”

The government and county are in the same city, and not long after the county government came to the county mansion, the Hangzhou government and the criminal department also arrived.

After Lotte's words fell, one of the priests of the Punishment Division arched his hand and said, "My lord, the villain knows what this smell is, this is the smell of marijuana soup!" ”

Then he replied: "If you go back to your lordship, the eunuchs of Ouchi must be castrated before entering the Ouchi, and this marijuana soup is given to people to relieve the pain of castration!" ”

"This cannabis soup is also known as stinky marijuana soup, and the preparation of cannabis soup is not the six flavors of the intoxicating flower, raw grass black, fragrant angelica, angelica, Chuanxiong, and Tiannanxing, and the villain is a line of twenty people, and he knows a little about traditional Chinese medicine, so he will naturally not distinguish the wrong!" The person from the Criminal Division replied, carefully looked at Zhang Zhixian's corpse, and finally came to a conclusion: Master Zhang killed him, not committed suicide!
