Mrs. Ji saw Xiao Jiading's rescue of Huang Shiyun from afar just now, and she was also afraid for a while, if the poetry club died because of the association, then she, the organizer, would be to blame. Therefore, I was full of gratitude to Xiao Jiading in my heart, and I looked at Xiao Jiading's eyes, which was also a little more cordial.

After some discussion, it was already sunset, so they got into the chariot and drove back.

Du Erniu's chariot sent him to the gate of the county government and left.

Xiao Jiading went to Loulan's snack shop for dinner, talked to Loulan, and returned to Yamen.

I don't know what happened this night, Xiao Jiading didn't sleep peacefully, half-dreaming and half-waking up, Huang Shiyun's delicate body tightly wrapped in wet dresses always appeared, and her hands could always recall the cotton softness of the two elastic round forehead mounds on her chest. There are not many women he has experienced, and there has never been a single one who tossed him all night like this, perhaps, just because this time he added life and death rescue, or maybe this haze through the veil gave him an alternative temptation?

The next day, Xiao Jiading immediately took out the case of Wu's murder of Liu and Su Yunxia's suing mother, and wrote his own verdict, which was sonorous and powerful, and reprimanded Wu mercilessly for killing people out of jealousy and violating women's morality, and at the same time, he also pointed out that Su Yunxia's behavior as a child to denounce her mother was against human ethics. The final conclusion was that both cases agreed with the draft opinions of the torture room and sentenced to death by hanging!

He immediately sent the case to the scholar Wen Yan to the Kang County Order. Because Kang County Ling didn't understand the criminal law, he just took a brief look at it, and then criticized the court tomorrow to judge the case!

Xiao Jiading also asked Wen Yan to take the approval of the Kang County Order and send it to the county lieutenant Wen Youde, and he arranged to notify the relevant witnesses of the promotion. The county government has two county lieutenants, who manage three of the six rooms. Now, Deng Quansheng has been imprisoned by the superintendent of Yushi for corruption, so his duties are temporarily taken care of by another county governor, Wen Youde.

At noon, Kang Xuan, the son of Kang County Ling, came to Xiao Jiading to learn light skills again. Xiao Jiading has learned all the willow steps from Huiyi on the first day, and began to teach him, this child is also very smart, and he basically learned this set of footwork at noon, of course, he does not have Xiao Jiading's physical function improvement caused by crossing, so although both of them have just learned, they are much worse than Xiao Jiading's speed and speed, Xiao Jiading told him that as long as he studies hard, he will definitely be like himself.

In the afternoon, Xiao Jiading went to the prison to visit Su Yunxia.

Accompanied by Jiang Dianjiao, he came to Su Yunxia's death row, and couldn't help but see that Su Yunxia's original cell, which was full of musty smell, had taken on a new look! The horrible box bed was gone, and the damp and moldy straw on the floor was gone, replaced by a clean floor, a wooden bed, a new quilt, and toiletries, and a bathroom with a screen in the corner, and a new toilet in the back.

Su Yunxia changed into a clean skirt, her hair was coiled in a bun, neat and beautiful, and her emaciated melon seed face had a touch of moisture, presumably the food in the past few days was good, and her body recovered quickly.

Su Yunxia was sitting on the bed holding a book and watching, when she saw Xiao Jiading and them coming, she was surprised, put down the book, walked over, and said with a touch of shyness: "Brother Xiao!" ”

Jiang Dianjiao hurriedly opened the cell door, Xiao Jiading stepped in, looked at her, and said, "Not bad." ”

"It's all the care of the eldest brother, Yunxia is very grateful in her heart......"

"You're welcome, yesterday, I went to your mother's grave to pay my respects to you."

Su Yunxia's big watery eyes soon filled with crystal tears, she lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed down: "Thank you......!" ”

Xiao Jiading hurriedly reached out to support her, as soon as this arm touched, Su Yunxia's body trembled slightly, and she didn't retract her hand, her pretty face was already full of shyness, and she lowered her head and side face, like a shy pomegranate flower.

Jiang Dian Prison behind Xiao Jiading quietly retreated out of the prison with interest, and there were only the two of them in the prison.

Xiao Jiading helped her up, then let go of her hand, and the two sat down on the edge of the bed. Sitting side by side like this, Xiao Jiading didn't feel anything, but Su Yunxia was very shy and cramped, lowered her head, and rubbed the corners of her shirt.

Xiao Jiading said in a low voice: "When I went to pay tribute to you yesterday morning, I saw a person named Cai Laoshan in front of the grave, saying that it was a ...... from your mother's village."

As soon as she heard this, Su Yunxia's originally shy smile disappeared immediately, glanced at Xiao Jiading quickly, bowed her head and said nothing.

Xiao Jiading immediately noticed her expression and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Do you know him? ”

Su Yunxia looked indifferent and said, "If it weren't for him, my mother wouldn't have suffered for so many years." My mother said he wasn't a man! ”

Xiao Jiading understood, and the Liu family told his daughter about the relationship between them. From Su Yunxia's words, Xiao Jiading could see that the Liu family was extremely disappointed in Cai Laoshan. Xiao Jiading sighed and said: "When I went to the grave, I could see that he was actually very painful in his heart, and he also expressed his repentance to your mother, people should be tolerant, and some jealousy will be a harm to both parties." ”

Su Yunxia nodded slowly and glanced at Xiao Jiading.

Xiao Jiading comforted her a few more words, and then got up to say goodbye and left the death row.

Jiang Dianjiao was waiting at the door, and Xiao Jiading smiled and said to him: "Very good." ”

Jiang Dianjiao naturally knew that Xiao Jiading was referring to his care for Su Yunxia, and he was praised by Xiao Jiading, he was very happy, and said with a smile: "It should be, it should be." ”

After chatting a few words, Xiao Jiading quit the prison and returned to the signing room to continue working.

After a while, Huang Lushi came, and after a few words with Xiao Jiading, he invited Xiao Jiading to his house for dinner in the evening, saying that he had got some game and a jar of "Jinling Chun" wine from Jinling, Jiangnan. Xiao Jiading naturally knew that he was only afraid that he was grateful for saving his daughter. However, he heard that there was game and wine, which was his favorite, and of course he said yes.

After the government dispersed, Xiao Jiading changed into civilian clothes and followed Huang Lushi to his house.

Huang Shiyun followed her mother and waited at the door, her temples were towering, her eyebrows were curved, her beautiful eyes were colorful, and her cheeks were red with some whiskers, charming and shy. Wearing a pale yellow skirt, the slender waist is tied with a ribbon, which is not easy to hold, but also sets off the plump and straight of the double peaks on the chest.

Looking at the place where he had been holding tightly, Xiao Jiading's hands immediately reminisced about that wonderful elasticity, and he couldn't help but quickly look away.

The banquet has been set up, and it is a family banquet hospitality, so Huang Shiyun and her mother also participated.

At the banquet, Huang Lushi and his wife solemnly expressed their gratitude to Xiao Jiading for saving his life. And Huang Shiyun just replied shyly and did not speak.

Huang Shiyun's mother didn't drink, and left the table after eating. Huang Shiyun accompanied her mother out of the city, probably to leave time to talk to her father.

After they left, Huang Lushi said to Xiao Jiading: "This morning, the master book has already told me that the Kang County Order asked him to let the workshop manager retire a few months in advance, the reason is to let him recuperate with peace of mind, and at the same time, I will be the result of Brother Xiao's kind words in front of the Kang County Order, and I have kept it in my heart." ”

Xiao Jiading smiled, thinking to himself The so-called reciprocating peach, you got me such a good and cheap piece of land, although it is just a favor, it is of vital significance to yourself.

Huang Lushi frequently raised his glass to toast, he was really grateful to Xiao Jiading, not only for helping him adjust to a position rich in oil and water, but also for saving his daughter who fell into the water this time, not to mention that his daughter had been rude to him. This made his gratitude with shame even stronger.

Huang Lushi mentioned the matter of the workshop, which reminded Xiao Jiading of the Jinjiang flood control embankment project that Tang Lin mentioned, so he smiled and said: "You are about to serve as the workshop manager, I am a layman to the workshop, and there are some things I don't understand, so I will ask you for advice." ”

"Don't dare, Brother Xiao, please speak."

"The imperial court allocated funds to build the project, but the construction was all voluntary by the people, so where is the money mainly used?"

Although Huang Lushi has been engaged in secretarial work before, his secretary involves all the things in the sixth room of the county government, and major matters must be sorted out into materials through him and then reported and distributed. Therefore, he is actually the center of the main affairs of the yamen, and he still has a good understanding of the affairs of the sixth room. Then he smiled and said: "Migrant workers are just putting in work, but construction materials can't fall from the sky out of thin air, right?" For example, to build a canal, the masonry has to be bought from the locals, which is a lot of money, and for example, to build a flood control embankment, a large number of masonry, maza, and soil to build an embankment, these stones, soil, are also bought from the hands of nearby landlords. People can't give it away for nothing, right? ”

Xiao Jiading suddenly realized, not to mention the private ownership of land in ancient times, even now, a lot of construction land is owned by rural collectives, and it costs a lot of money to acquire land to buy, and as for building materials, it costs money to buy. I'm so stupid that I don't even understand this.

After figuring out this joint, Xiao Jiading immediately understood Tang Lin's intention to remind him of the specific location of the flood control embankment, the ancient means of transportation were only ox carts and carriages, and the stones were very heavy, it was impossible to transport them long distances, so they could only be made from local materials. Now that we know the location of the flood control embankment, we should buy the rocky mountains and barren slopes on both sides of the bank in advance, and once the flood control levee is built, we can make a lot of money.

Xiao Jiading thought to himself, this is really information is money, and he must hurry up and buy the stone mountain and the barren slope before the news spreads!

Xiao Jiading wanted to understand this matter, he was very happy, raised his glass to toast, and said: "Huang Lushi is really an expert, it seems that he can take on the important task of the workshop!" ”

Huang Lushi was stunned for a moment, could it be that Xiao Jiading asked himself these questions just now just to test whether he was familiar with the workshop? That's a little too simple. He naturally didn't know that Xiao Jiading said this just to hide his true intentions, so he hurriedly raised his glass and laughed and drank.
