Shen Jing got the account book and felt funny, looking at He Yong's appearance, he was honest, but his behavior of asking for guilt showed that he was also a little cunning.

If He Yong is really a cunning person, it is estimated that the ledger has been processed. Shen Jing looked through it, but he couldn't see anything wrong on the surface.

Because this Zhuangzi has just changed hands, the previous Shen Jing can't see it, and there is no way to compare. This land rent is collected at a rate of five or five, and I didn't receive a single star or a half last quarter, Shen Jing frowned, this gang of thieves is too rampant.

Shen Jing threw the ledger aside, and sighed again, thinking that the thieves were rampant, and this tenant farmer was too incompetent to let others steal so much.

Although Shen Jing doesn't point to this bit of land rent to live, it seems that she is too cowardly to be bullied like this.

Soon, Qin Wu came back with some news.

Qin Wuyu said: "The harvest in Liujia Village is twice as much as usual, and the villain has also gone to other villages to see, and the Zhangjia income next door is also good, but it is also much less than Liujia Village." ”

"Oh, really?" Shen Jing was teasing the goldfish in the pool, and he answered lightly when he heard the words, so that people couldn't hear any emotions.

Losing the fish food in his hand, Shen Jing turned his head to look at Qin Wu, "Stealing grain is bound to transport grain, and the farther away the transportation, is there more evidence left?" It's riskier, right? ”

Although Shen Jing was asking, his tone was affirmative, Qin Wu nodded and said, "What the owner said is true." After a pause, Qin Wu hesitated, but still said: "My subordinates also found out about He Zhuangtou, and I don't know if you are useful to the owner." ”

"I'll hear what you say."

Qin Wu told Shen Jing the news he had inquired about, saying that he was in his thirties, his wife had been dead for two years, and he had not continued to do so, and he heard from the villagers that he was talking to his niece at the head of Liujia Village.

"I heard from the villagers about this, Liu Zhuangtou has not had a letter on his side, and recently I think there is hope, and He Zhuangtou said that he was about to get married."

Hearing this, Shen Jing frowned and pondered for a while, then asked Qin Wu, "Do you think there is any connection between these two things?" ”

Qin Wu scratched his head and said a little ashamedly: "My subordinates don't know, I just feel that I should tell the owner." ”

Shen Jing nodded, "It's hard work Qin Nursing Hospital, you go down and rest!" I'll find out when I'm done. ”

"Yes." Qin Wu simply answered yes neatly, turned around and went out.

Qin Wu was personally selected by the Gan family, and he was very sure of the Gan family's ability before, and the Gan family treated his subordinates well, Qin Wu also worked hard to do things, and was later given to Shen Jing, because Shen Jing has always been willful, he was a little unwilling, but in the end, he was a subordinate, and he couldn't resist.

It wasn't until he went out with her this time that Qin Wu realized that this master was very similar to her mother, and he began to really accept it in his heart. People like them, who are not born well, want to vote for a good master. The current Shen Jing is a good master in his eyes, and in order to stay by her side all the time, Qin Wu naturally has to work harder.

Of course, Shen Jing didn't know what was going on in a person like Qin Wu, and at this moment she was bent on finding out the connection between the two things.

Qin Wu said just now that Liu Zhuangtou's niece was reluctant to agree because the bride price was not enough. If you agree to it now, it proves that the bride price is enough. Obviously, I couldn't even pay the rent last quarter, so how can the bride price be enough?

Shen Jing couldn't figure it out, and called Qin Wu again, "You go and secretly check He Zhuangtou's family background." After thinking about it, he said: "Forget it, these things are too troublesome, wait for me to think of a way to solve all the doubts at once." ”

Shen Jing frowned and pondered, and the subordinates didn't dare to move one by one, for fear of disturbing her thoughts by making a noise.

After a while, Shen Jing suddenly laughed and said, "Yes," he said and looked at a few people in the house, all of whom were trustworthy, and then commanded in a low voice: "Qin Huyuan, you led someone to secretly tie up He Zhuangtou, you can't let him know your identity, and specially set aside a room to lock him up, and let him not know where he is." ”

Qin Wu looked puzzled, "What is this going to do?" ”

"After scaring him and making him afraid, he directly asked the suspicion in his heart."

Qin Wu thought for a while before he understood what Shen Jing meant. I didn't talk anymore and went out to do things.

Qin Wu's speed was very fast, and He Zhuangtou was quickly arrested and taken to Shen Jing's courtyard blindfolded.

He Yong was asleep, but suddenly heard a voice in the house, and just asked, "Who?" He was knocked unconscious, woke up in a strange place, rubbed his aching head and couldn't react.

He Yong, has he been kidnapped? But he is just a poor and white peasant, at most he is a farmer, but what can he really get by tying him up?

"Anyone...... Who tied me up, came out and spoke...... Where is this...... Why did you tie me up? ”

He Yong reacted for a while and then began to ask questions, asking one for a long time, and then asking another, but he didn't get half a reply.

It was so quiet that it scared him. He was a farmer, and he had never encountered anything like this.

He Yong was locked up for two days, and the only movement was to throw a few nests from the window every day, He Yong didn't dare to eat at first, and then he dared to eat when he was really hungry.

On the third day, there was suddenly no food again, He Yong's hungry chest was pressed against his back, and he shouted weakly: "I'm hungry, give me food?" ”

"Do you want to eat when you're dying?"

A voice suddenly appeared in the room that had been quiet for several days, and He Yong was startled, thinking that no one would reply. Someone was heard talking, and He Yong hurriedly asked, "Who are you?" What did you tie me up for? ”

Qin Wu on the roof pinched his nose and answered: "Who do you care who I am?" I have tied you up to do it for the people. ”

"The villain didn't do anything!" He Yong pretended to be stupid?

"Hmph, don't say anything else, as far as Hejiazhuang's corn was stolen, you pretended to be very good." Qin Wu said what Shen Jing asked him to say.

Hearing this, He Yong felt a little weak in his heart, but he still said stiffly: "Blame me for this matter, but I am not guilty of death?" After a pause, he suddenly asked, "Which tenant farmer are you?" Hurry up and let me go. ”

Qin Wu laughed twice, "Those tenant farmers don't know that their village head has hurt them, and I am fighting for them." ”

"Who the hell are you?" He Yong's heart was full of hunger and fear.

"Don't care who I am, I can still save your life if you honestly confess, if you still want to tell lies and don't change your mistakes, then don't blame me for being rude."

He Yong was silent, not knowing what he was thinking, Qin Wu said again: "It's not cost-effective to lose your life for Liu Zhuangtou's niece." ”

He Yong still didn't speak, Shen Jing outside the door had already determined that it was him, he asked Qin Wu to call him down, and several people left quietly.

In the evening, Qin Wu climbed onto the roof again, "I underestimated He Zhuangtou, are you hungry?" Isn't it okay to give you a chance? ”

He Yong was already hungry with his chest on his back, and when he was asked by others to be hungry, he was even more hungry, Qin Wu said again: "Hurry up and explain honestly, I will give you food after I finish explaining, starving ghosts will be bullied in hell." ”

"Don't you know everything? What else do you want me to say? He Yong lay on the ground and said weakly.

"Hmph, I only have a sense of accomplishment when you say it." Qin Wu might as well He Yong would say this, and suddenly his brain was iron, and he didn't know how to answer.

He Yongyuan also couldn't hold on, at this time, he wanted to die, he wanted to die, he had to eat, he was going to die, what were he afraid of.

"I discussed with Liu Zhuangtou, and found someone from Liujia Village to steal the corn back, and I reported the news, so that they could know where there were more people guarding and where there were fewer people."

Qin Wu glanced at Shen Jing, she stood at the door with her head down, unable to see her face, Qin Wu could only stubbornly continue to ask: "Just to marry Liu Zhuangtou's niece, you actually harmed the villagers of your own village and betrayed the owner." ”

He Yong was a little aggrieved, "Why is it a betrayal?" After all, they all belong to Houfu now. ”

Shen Jing sounded very angry, pushed the door and went in, looking at He Yong condescendingly.

He Yong's hungry eyes were shining, and when he heard the sound, he raised his head with difficulty and looked at Shen Jing, and it took him a while to recognize her.

"The owner spares his life." only shouted such a sentence, and had no strength to explain.

Shen Jing snorted coldly, "He Zhuangtou is good at calculations, I just came here to ask for guilt, so people can't suspect you, right?" ”

He Yong didn't dare to answer, and Shen Jing said again: "He Zhuangtou bullied me for my young age and low position, right?" ”

He Yong knelt up with his body propped up, "The villain doesn't dare." ”

Shen Jing snorted coldly, too lazy to talk nonsense with him, Qin Wu had already come down from the roof and asked, "Master, what should I do with him?" ”

"Treat them as traitors." Shen Jing left after speaking.

In fact, Shen Jing didn't understand the ancient penal system at all, and after walking for a while, he thought about it and turned back, and said to Qin Wu: "Forget it, first lock it up for a while, and wait until I think about how to deal with it." ”

Shen Jing is worried that this person's fate is death, she was born in an era of peace, and she doesn't want to condemn the life and death of others with a word.

"It's really unseemly, this He Zhuangtou looks honest, I didn't expect it to be a guard and a thief," Qiu Yan muttered beside Shen Jing, "Then Liujia Village stole so much corn, how can the master get it back?" ”

Shen Jing smiled, "Isn't that my mother's Zhuangzi?" Should I ask my mother for it? After a pause, he smiled again: "She is so short of money, she must hate me to death, but I don't want her to compensate anything, and it's not bad for me to be a good person." ”

Shen Jing couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it.

Back in the main house, Qiu Yan was going to wait for Shen Jing to rest, and as soon as she lay down on the bed, she heard that there was a bit of movement outside, Shen Jing immediately sat up, Xiao Xuan looked at her in surprise, "Master, it sounds like an outsider is coming." ”

Qiu Yan hurriedly dressed Shen Jing again, Shen Jing went out, it was a servant woman about fifty years old standing in the hall, saw Shen Jing come out, saluted and said: "Disturb Mrs. to rest, I didn't want Mrs. to sleep so early." ”

Shen Jing looked at her suspiciously, "Who are you?" So what's going on? ”

"I'm from Zhangjiaying next door, and our master also came to the courtyard, and called the cook to make some game late at night, and when I saw that the lights were on here, I sent us some food." The servant woman said, opening half of the food box in her hand so that Shen Jing could see it.

Shen Jing frowned, she really didn't understand what this was, and she didn't know what to do with it all of a sudden, the servant woman saw that Shen Jing didn't speak, and put the food box on the ground, "The things are delivered, and the slave and maid go back to their lives." He turned and walked out.

Shen Jing sighed, "Wait," and when he saw the servant woman stop, he asked, "Who is your master?" ”

The servant woman gave her a surprised look, then lowered her head and said, "The slave master is His Royal Highness the King of Qi." ”
