The woman who was rescued by Xie Yikou and others was Qiu He. That day, she heard the conversation between Shang Nanyun and Shang Nanjue, and knew that her ending was nothing more than jumping from one fire pit to another.

She was unwilling, so she escaped from Shang's house, but she was still found. When she was beaten and scolded, she heard someone talking outside, and they said that the young lady was going to Jiangnan to play, and she was accompanied by a hundred and ten people. The pomp and circumstance is even bigger than that of some young ladies of the family.

"Why is it that the wicked are favored by Heaven to live well, while the innocent can only survive? The world is unfair! Qiu He's thoughts were still a little confused, but after she told everything out, she only felt relaxed.

Wen Zhisang bent down to help her up, "How do you want me to save you?" ”

"I want to ......," Qiu He gritted his teeth, his face distorted, "Can you let me 'die'?" ”

Wen Zhesang was stunned, and suddenly reacted, "You mean to issue a death certificate for you?" ”

"That's right." Qiu He said miserably, "One day I live, one day I will be the dog of the Shang family." Only when I 'die' can I be free." My lord, I have no way out, I want to die, but I am not willing to do a lot of evil in the Shang family and still be rich and glorious! The people I saw in the northern suburbs that day, I also saw them in the Shang family, and I also knew that none of the Shang families were clean! How big the Shang family's mansion is, how deep the flesh and bones are buried underground! ”

Looking at Qiu He's bloodshot eyes, Wen Zhesang sighed in his heart, this person hasn't calmed down yet, what she said was mostly impulsive. But these eyes were so desperate, as if if she would crumble into powder if she refused.

"Okay." Wen Zhesang said, "But you have to take care of your body first, this is the yamen, and the idle people can't wait to enter." Externally, I would say that today's catchers found a female corpse in the river, because her body was bitten by fish and shrimp, and it was unrecognizable. And there was no one to claim it, and he was buried on the same day. ”

Qiu He nodded stunned, and Wen Zhisang helped her lie down. Her eyes suddenly moved, and tears flashed, "Okay...... Good...... When you die, you are liberated. ”

After a while, Dongxue came over with the medicine, and Qiuhe frowned and drank all the medicine. Dong Xue was surprised and sympathetic in her heart, and when she left the house, she saw that Song Hanshu was still checking the list with a few people, and the depression in her heart somehow dispersed a lot.

"Dongxue, how is she?" Dongxue turned her head and saw Wen Zhesang coming over.

"Good or bad." Dongxue shook her head helplessly, "There are only people left in my heart who hate, and it is more uncomfortable to live than to die." ”

Wen Zhesang smiled and tapped her forehead, "How can you say these things at such a young age?" Only when people live can there be hope. ”

Dongxue covered her forehead and smiled, "Slaves can't learn to be as broad-minded as adults." By the way, aren't you going to see Master Song? There were a lot of people this afternoon. ”

"Have you learned to feel sorry for people around the bush?" Wen Zhesang teased her, "If you want to see it, go and see it, otherwise you will complain about me again in a while." ”

Dongxue was ashamed, blushing and silent.

"Master is fortunate." Wen Zhesang's gaze skimmed over the bookcase and patted Song Hanshu on the shoulder.

"Your Excellency!"

"I've seen my lord!"

As soon as the notice was posted, they quickly read it three times in succession, and the people did not believe it at first, until the first person who rushed into the yamen came out with a face full of joy, and they realized that it was true.

As a result, more and more people poured into the yamen, some to see the excitement, and some to regain the land.

But no matter what, they will never forget that it was this female county magistrate who was despised by them at the beginning who helped them get back their fields, gave them hope to live, and let them no longer be oppressed by the rich.

——After the Xie family fell, the Shang family let out the words that no one was allowed to cultivate the fields in the northern suburbs. Most of the people had already sold their fields to the Xie family, even if they knew that the fields belonged to them, but they didn't have any documents in their hands, so they didn't dare to go to the northern suburbs at all.

Well, now it's the spring ploughing season, as long as they hurry up, they won't miss this year's spring ploughing!

Seeing Wen Zhesang at this time, the people all had sincere smiles on their faces, which really regarded her as a parent official.

"Alas......" Jiang Weixi sang and sighed in a dragging voice, and he put one hand on Xie Yikou's shoulder, and said: "Such a big piece of land in the northern suburbs is so gone, it's really unwilling." ”

Xie Yikou leaned against the red-painted pillar, his eyes fell on Wen Zhisang's slender back, and he guessed that she should be laughing at this time. After all, I've been busy for so long, isn't it just for today? But why is this man so willing to give?

He couldn't figure it out.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Weixi shook his shoulders and leaned closer, "Big brother, stay in the mountains, hurry up the bark and dig up the grass roots and eat them!" You have to think of a way! ”

"When do they eat tree bark, grass roots? Tell me in advance that I'll go back and see it. Xie Yikou didn't raise his eyelids, and his heartless appearance made Jiang Weixi almost scratch him.

Xie Yikou finally gave him a blank look, "An fendian, since the adults have agreed to cooperate, they will not let it go." Let's wait for the arrangement of adults. ”

"No, big brother, why do you suddenly trust adults so much? Isn't it true that those who are officials are not good things as you said? ”

To Shangjiang Weixi's thirsty eyes, Xie Yikou expressed his satisfaction and rewarded him with a slap on the head.

In the evening, Wen Zhesang helped Song Hanshu deal with the last thing, and Dong Xue pinched and brought two bowls of hot soup while helping to sort out the bookcase.

"The matter in the northern suburbs is solved, and next, the people can farm with peace of mind." Wen Zhisang narrowed his eyes as he spoke, revealing a pleasant smile.

Dongxue also smiled: "It's good now, adults can finally have a good rest." ”

Hearing this, Wen Zhesang shook his head, "The people's affairs are solved, but there are still rich families to rectify." ”

"Your Excellency...... When can I take a break? Dongxue became more and more dissatisfied with this Qingfeng County.

Wen Zhesang smiled at this and said nothing. Qingfeng County is in ruins, and she still has a lot to do.

After sorting out the bookcase, Wen Yan and the others carried it back to the study, and at this time, Xie Yikou came in with a few books.

"My lord, this is sent by Mr. Baili." Actually, I told him to steal it.

"Huh? What is it? Wen Zhesang took it casually, and when she got it, she found that these books were really not thick, and when she opened it, she saw that they were all dense accounts.

"This is ......" Wen Zhisang did not dare to assert.

Xie Yikou said: "It is said that it is the account book hidden by the Shang family, and Mr. Baili thought that this thing might be of great use, so he sent it over." ”

Wen Zhesang came back to his senses, "I see, Mr. Baili really helped a lot this time." ”

Xie Yikou glanced at her, thinking about the brothers in his own village, and gave the credit to Baili Song in disharmony.

With the account book in hand, Wen Zhesang remembered that he heard that Shang Nanyun had gone to Jiangnan during the day, although it was March and the scenery in Jiangnan was very good, but it was really strange to be in such a hurry. Maybe Master Shang has sensed something.

"Wen Yan, I have something to do with you." Wen Zhesang drew up a plan briefly.

On the second day, Wen Zhesang went to Qingzi Lane to visit Zhou Gui's family.

Opposite the mouth of the alley is Zhao Bo's breakfast stall, Wen Zhesang only took Xie Yikou with him this time, because she returned the fields in the northern suburbs to the people yesterday so that she won the hearts of the people, when she went out early in the morning, the people with various farm tools on their shoulders greeted her with a smile. Aunt Zhang, who happened to go home from grocery shopping, quietly stuffed two white hard-boiled eggs for her, and her honest smile was completely sincere.

It's just that the two eggs didn't heat up in the end, and she gave them to Zhou Xiaozhen.

From Uncle Zhao, Wen Zhesang heard the specific address of Zhou Gui's house. Qingzi Lane has also been beautiful before-because there was a Xiucai living in this alley, and later Xiucai went out to visit relatives and died at the hands of the gang of Zishan bandits in Eagle Village. It's embarrassing.

Zhou Gui's house is not big, with two faded red paper lanterns hanging at the door, and the brown and black door panels are very thin. Xie Yikou had to slow down after just two knocks, for fear of breaking someone.

"Who's—here!" Zhou Gui's voice was a little tired, he opened the door, and was a little stunned when he saw the two people standing at the door, "Big ...... My lord? Brother Xie? ”

Zhou Gui stood at the door and hesitated, to say that the adults had condescended to come to his door, how should he respectfully invite people in, but ...... But his house is so dilapidated, how can he dirty the shoes of adults?

Just when he was embarrassed, Xie Yikou laughed, skillfully hooked Zhou Gui's shoulder and brought him in, while also pushing the door open with a free hand, so that Wen Zhisang could come in.

He said: "Brother Zhou is not authentic, how can you let an adult stand?" Let's go in, let's go in and talk. ”

Zhou Gui had to smile bitterly, and when he saw Wen Zhesang stepping into the messy courtyard with a soft face, he was still a little relieved in his heart.

"Aren't I too surprised, I didn't expect the adults and Brother Xie to actually ...... Alas, the conditions at home are not good, adults should not dislike it. ”

This is a house that can be seen at a glance, the yard is only tender green weeds, under the eaves are piled with firewood, and the hall is black, as if the sun does not shine at all.

Wen Zhesang had never been to a dilapidated place where people could still live like this, but she didn't dislike it, and said with a smile: "I heard that Xiao Zhen is sick, I came to take a look, and by the way, I inspected the people's situation - beggars are rampant near Qingzi Lane, and many people have come to the yamen to report it." ”

Hearing her say this, Zhou Gui's mind naturally shifted to his sick son, "Xiao Zhen's health is not very good, I came back late the night before yesterday, he was waiting for me at the door of the house, blowing a cool breeze in the middle of the night, and I got cold the next day." It's all my fault, if I could have come back earlier, Xiao Zhen wouldn't have ......"

As he spoke, several people came to the only bedroom, and Wen Zhesang looked up and saw that the roof of this bedroom was actually shining, and it turned out that there were several damages. Xiao Zhen happened to be awake, his cheeks were sickly red, and when he saw Wen Zhesang and Xie Yikou, he shrunk his shoulders in a sneer, not knowing if he recognized them.

"Have you seen the doctor?" Wen Zhesang stepped forward and noticed the vigilance in Xiao Zhen's expression, so he stood still and didn't go any further.

Zhou Gui nodded, "The doctor prescribed medicine." Xiao Zhenfang has only drunk a bowl, and I haven't had time to clean it up yet. He pointed to the bowl missing from the low table next to the bed.

"It's okay, let Xiao Zhen have a good rest, let's go out and talk."

Zhou Gui did not doubt him, and walked out of the bedroom with Xie Yikou one after the other, at this time, Wen Zhesang took two steps closer, bent down and said with a smile: "When I was a child, I didn't like to drink medicine the most, and it was very bitter, but Xiao Zhen was very brave - brave children should be rewarded." ”

Two eggs appeared in her hand like a trick, she put them next to Xiao Zhen's pillow, and walked out of the bedroom under Xiao Zhen's surprised gaze.
