Duan Chu regretted it a little, last time he gave all the twenty taels of silver in exchange for killing rats in blood, and handed them all over to Zhuzi.

With the five taels of silver given by Zhao Ruyi, Duan Chu was not embarrassed, and said that he would stay overnight.

Zhao Ruyi didn't keep Duan Chu, after all, she had escaped from the cage of the Zhao family, she was not so anxious, and kept saying to herself in her heart: "Be reserved!" Be reserved! ”

Only by being reserved can you look ladylike.

……

Duan Chu didn't know how powerful Zhao Ruyi was, so in the evening, he also deliberately explained the cattle inspection, so that the officers and soldiers of the inspection department could take care of the safety of the tea shop during the night patrol.

He himself also arranged a homeless female man in the tea shop through the female stable woman.

The female man is called Zhao Erniang.

said that it was a female man, but in fact, it was just because he used to be a powerful and entertainer, and he was not like those two stable women, five big and three rough.

And the age is only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Homeless, mainly because, she has now grown into a big girl, always floating on the rivers and lakes, and she doesn't feel so safe, after all, the old men who covet her seem to be a bit much.

That's why she left the group and didn't find a place to live for a while, so she was homeless.

During the day, Zhao Erniang can pose behind the counter and make a posture of buying and selling tea.

At night, make a floor shop behind the gate on the first floor, or you can guard the door for Zhao Ruyi.

A salary of two taels of silver per month.

This price is not low, and it is not a little girl who waits for people, Zhao Erniang agreed very happily.

As soon as Duan Chu left, she entered the tea shop overnight and had a good conversation with Zhao Ruyi.

The same surname is Zhao, Zhao Ruyi and Zhao Erniang, they are called sisters.

Duan Chu didn't know that that night, Zhao Erniang did not lay on the ground on the first floor, but slept on the same bed with Zhao Ruyi.

There, it would have been his place.

……

Two days later, Tailor Zhao was released, and after his mother-in-law said it, he learned that Duan Chu and Zhao Ruyi had been plotting for a long time, and finally hooked up and became an adulterer.

But it's a foregone conclusion, and it's too late for him to do anything.

He couldn't make trouble at the tea shop.

Not only will that not help, but he will also be scolded for treating his niece badly.

If you are good to your niece, how can people move out.

So Tailor Zhao had no choice but to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

When asked by others, he only said that he agreed with his niece to move out.

Since Duan Chu went to the tea shop every day and often left after dark, half of the people in Pengzhou City knew that the Duan class master of the Hongyang class had raised a pretty Zhao Ruyi in the tea shop.

Only Zhu Zimo is alone, and he doesn't know about it.

Recently, she has only been concerned about how to recover the blind cat's eyeballs, and whether she can recover her eyesight after recovering her eyeballs.

She's waiting for an opportunity.

An opportunity for Liu Blind to be sought revenge.

Only when Liu Blind is sought revenge by that strong enemy, can she have the opportunity to help the blind cat recover her eyeballs and then restore her vision.

This thought swirled in her heart, so she didn't care about Duan Chu and where he went every day.

Every day, she looks forward to when Liu Blind is unlucky, he will be found by that enemy.

……

At this time, Wen Chaotian had already figured out all the gaps left by the silver treasury and grain depot, and the previous prefect.

They were all former prefects, who stole things from the silver treasury grain depot and stuffed them into their own pockets.

However, because he died very suddenly, he didn't have time to use other names to level the accounts.

Wen Chaotian reported the relevant evidence of this matter, as well as the relevant accounts, to the household department and the emperor.

As for the theft of the silver treasury, the final loss of three hundred taels of silver, and the news that the first thief has been punished, has also formed a document, which was sent to the emperor by Jinyiwei first.

Both things were quickly replied to.

The household department praised Wen Chaotian: check and fill in the gaps, and work meticulously.

On the emperor's side, the Jinyi guards also came to Pengzhou Mansion to talk.

Although he didn't blame Wen Chaotian, the emperor approved four words: Don't take it as an example.

As a result, the silver treasury of Pengzhou Mansion was once again heavily guarded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

In this way, Wen Chaotian can be regarded as a big thing, two big things.

So he was able to free up his hands and continue to investigate the Yan family's little servant, who was dug into his heart.

He wanted to clear the charge of the eldest prince of Qian before Changning came.

Even if Mr. Wei said before that it would be okay for Prince Qian to be locked up, Wen Chaotian still wanted to take the initiative.

Wen Chaotian read the case file for two days.

He found the eldest prince again and confessed.

learned that Mr. Qian and Jiang Xiaomei were at the gate of the temple, and they had verbal unhappiness.

Wen Chaotian called Yan Zonglu again and asked him if he had any conflicts with Jiang Xiaomei.

Yan Zonglu has already sued Mr. Qian in prison, and Mr. Qian has lost his father because of this, so he can only go all the way to the black, and resolutely denies that he has had any conflicts with Jiang Xiaomei.

He didn't even say Jiang Xiaomei's words to get rid of Prince Qian.

His purpose is very simple, that is, to kill the eldest prince of Qian.

and then clean up the major suspicions, it is likely to be Jiang Xiaomei who took advantage of the chaos and fished in troubled waters.

Even if Yan Zonglu didn't say it, Wen Chaotian also found out from the file that Jiang Xiaomei was very suspicious.

Just when he was about to arrest Jiang Xiaomei again and torture him carefully, an accident appeared.

……

In late March, great news came from the capital.

There are two talented people in Pengzhou Mansion who won the Jinshi in the palace examination.

One is the third place in the first class, and one is the first place in the second class.

There are three in total.

The third place in the first class, called Tanhua, is very interesting, that is, Tanhua is more concerned than the first champion and the second place in the same period in many cases.

Because Tanhualang not only has to be talented, but also handsome.

Jiang Yishan and Jiang Xiaomei are twin brothers and sisters, men and women, and they look very likable.

The first name of the second class is called Chuanyu.

Although it is also a rare ranking in the palace examination of the same subject, it is much inferior compared to the first class.

For Pengzhou Mansion, two Jinshi at a time is naturally good news.

Wen Chaotian, as the governor of a government, should have a bright face.

Even without his credit, the letters from the Ministry of Rites, as well as the professors of the Fuxue, all praised him for his meritorious teaching in Pengzhou.

For a while, the schoolchildren in Pengzhou Mansion, as well as their children, studied hard.

Everyone wants to stand out in the future imperial examinations.

For the people of Pengzhou Mansion and the government office, winning the two Jinshi is good news.

But for the Yan family, it was simply bad news.

Because of the attention of the two cities of Pengzhou and Gusu, Yan Gongzi, who entrusted the outgoing first assistant Xie Jianglan and Yan Zonglu, a big household in Pengzhou, failed to take the lead in the palace examination and won the top spot in high school!

This makes Yan Zonglu, a face man who has long been the self-proclaimed champion father, where to find face!

What made him even more unable to find face was that Yan Gongzi was not even a flower explorer!

Tanhualang, it turned out to be Jiang Yishan, who he never looked up to, from a family of killing pigs and dogs!

……

Yan Gongzi went to the Hanlin Academy, which was a Qingshui Yamen, but fortunately, he was able to contact the emperor.

Compared with Yan Gongzi, the most troublesome thing for Wen Chaotian was that Jiang Yishan actually entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is the base camp of the imperial history, in other words, it is large and small, and it is all officials.

There is Zhang Gongmao's arrangement here.

Zhang Gongmao will soon enter the cabinet, he plans to do something big, and he is afraid that the officials will not support him, so he will arrange his proud protégé Jiang Yishan into the Metropolitan Procuratorate first.

In this way, at least he will know what the reaction of the speaker is.

Zhang Gongmao made this clear in his letter to Wen Chaotian two days ago.

Wen Chaotian doesn't have a headache about this, the main thing is a headache, Jiang Xiaomei, whether to catch it or not.

Those imperial historians must supervise big and small things.

If officials are not careful, no matter how high their official position, they will be impeached by them.

For example, in some cases, when the Criminal Department examines and Dali Temple reviewes, the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will come forward to supervise them, so as to avoid unjust, false and wrongful cases in which prisoners are tortured into confessions, or the presiding official engages in favoritism and malpractice.

Wen Chaotian suspected Jiang Xiaomei, but there was no strong evidence.

If he arrested Jiang Xiaomei and convicted Jiang Xiaomei without evidence, then Jiang Yishan would definitely not give up with him.

Even if Jiang Xiaomei is not arrested, Jiang Butcher is still in prison, and he has not pleaded guilty until now.

Chang Ninghou and Xie Jianglan will come, which is expected.

Only Jiang Yishan caught up with Zhang Gongmao and fell for Tanhua again, which was beyond the expectations of Wen Chaotian.

Evidence, the worry is the evidence! Wen Chaotian couldn't help but scratch his head when he thought of this.

Wen Chaotian decided to take a gamble and take Jiang Xiaomei's confession before Jiang Yishan arrived.

So he asked Duan Chu to arrest Jiang Xiaomei.
