Chapter 379: The Deed of Sale That Disappeared

"It's gone." Zhou Zimo gritted his teeth and said: "Zhou Zhong's deed of sale is actually gone!" ”

The incident should have happened last night, Zhou Zimo covered his forehead, and suddenly remembered that he had come to the study last night, and he didn't look carefully at that time, but now in retrospect, the things in his study seem to have been passive.

"Could it be that at that time......" Zhou Zimo's face was hideous, no matter who it was and the thief, he passed by like this, his things were gone, I am afraid he would feel very angry!

"You go to the yamen again, take my post to the county magistrate, and say that our family's subordinates stole their deeds of sale and ran away."

"Yes!"

The man was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Zimo again.

"Forget it, let's go together." Zhou Zimo turned around and tidied up his clothes.

I don't know why, he is always a little flustered in his heart, as if something bad is coming, and his heart is always unsteady.

What made Zhou Zimo even more angry was still to come.

When Zhou Zimo came to the yamen with his subordinates, he troubled his own post, and respectfully invited himself over, and after he explained his intentions, he took out a thick book.

"All the slave records are recorded on it, if your family really escapes from the slaves, you first find out the slave status of that person, and after confirming that it is correct, I will go to issue a wanted warrant."

"Then thank you to the prefectural magistrate."

Zhou Zimo had a smile on his face, a gentle and elegant gentleman, he was not at home at all, he looked like a gloomy man.

No!

Zhou Zimo flipped through this book, flipped back and forth several times, and the smile on his face disappeared little by little.

"Lord County Commander, are you misremembering, you got the wrong book, there is no slave registration of the fugitive slave in my family." Zhou Zimo said to him with a reluctant smile.

"It's impossible to get it wrong." The county magistrate said with great certainty: "There is only this booklet in the entire yamen, how can this official take the wrong booklet?" ”

"Isn't it that subordinate of your family who has eliminated his slavery and is now a flat-headed commoner!"

While saying this, the county magistrate took out another booklet, put it in front of Zhou Zimo, and said: "The people recorded on it are all people who have been sold from slavery and become ordinary people, you can take a good look at this book." ”

"Thank you."

Zhou Zimo hurriedly said a word, and now he began to continue to check, and when he turned to a certain page, his face suddenly became ugly.

'Zhou Zhong, forty and three years old, the former slave of the Zhou family, is now eliminated from slavery and returned to freedom. ’

What's going on here?

Obviously, yesterday people were still locked up in their own firewood room, and their things were still there, why did they disappear after one night? And decades later, the slave has been cut down, who did all this? Old Friends Book House

Zhou Zimo couldn't help but want to get angry, but it was estimated that he was outside, and it was the local county magistrate standing in front of him, so he could only be forceful, suppressing the anger in his heart, trying to put on a pleasant look, and said to the person in front of him: "My lord, do you know that there are any suspicious people who have come to eliminate slavery in the past two days?" ”

"O slave destroyer!"

The county magistrate thought about it for a while, clapped his hands and said: "Yesterday, a face-to-face person came over and took a nobleman's token to do something, maybe it was at that time that the slave was cut!" ”

"My lord, do you know who came here, and which nobleman's token?" Zhou Zimo asked a little hurriedly.

"I can't tell you about it." The county commander shook his head solemnly, "I can only say that that noble man is always above you and me, a place that we can't reach, and he also told me not to tell this matter, and this official can't mention it to you!" ”

Out of reach!

Zhou Zimo's pupils widened slightly.

He is the cousin of the second prince today, and he grew up with the second prince since he was a child, and he is still above him......

Is it the crown prince or the emperor?

But aren't the Zhou family's father and daughter just an ordinary peasant family? How could it be associated with such a big shot? Isn't this county magistrate coaxing himself?

No, it's useless to coax yourself, it's still a little dangerous if you find out by yourself, this dog official who values his official position more than his life will not do this.

So what's going on?

At that moment, Zhou Zimo's thoughts turned back and forth a lot, but his face did not show it, he just lowered his eyelids slightly, and opened them again.

"It's Zhou who is abrupt, thank you for your help, maybe the people below have misremembered their names, and you're causing trouble." Zhou Zimo tried hard to control his emotions, he was a member of the Zhou family, and he had to maintain his image in front of outsiders at all times.

"Your Excellency, you are busy first, and I will prepare a small gift later, and I will compensate the adults."

"Oh, oh, isn't this just an outsider?" The county magistrate gently stroked the beard on his chin, looking very amiable, and said, "Wait for the next time, if we have time, we will have a good drink." ”

"Of course."

After Zhou Zimo said these words with a smile, he left the yamen, and returned to Zhou's house with a somewhat gloomy face, and went to his study, there was no one around, and he was the only one left in the room.

"Si Si, you are so good, you are really good! Next time, next time I'll make you look good! ”

Zhou Zimo gritted his teeth and said these words, while his eyes were staring at a corner, as if Si Si was standing there.

Although Si Si has already said that he doesn't need Zhou Cailian to take care of those vegetable gardens, just water them from time to time, but when Zhou Cailian gets up in the morning and goes to the field to pick vegetables, she still carries a bucket of water and carefully waters each vegetable.

And Zhou Cailian also pays close attention to the two seedlings, which are said to be the bread tree, and carefully observes them every day.

Although Si Si has already said that these two seedlings may not bear fruit, but looking at these seedlings one by one, Zhou Cailian has an inexplicable expectation from her heart.

Because these two seedlings grew too fast, Zhou Cailian planted these seedlings separately in other places after saying hello to Sisi, and listened to Sisi's suggestion, and the distance between each seedling was about two feet away from each other.
