Shen Jing chose to go to the nearest Hejia Village this time, and after bumping on the carriage for most of the day, he finally arrived at the other courtyard.

After crossing over, he was basically moving in a small world, and suddenly after riding in a carriage for a long time, Shen Jing only felt that his whole body seemed to fall apart.

Shen Jing suddenly missed the life of his previous life, not to mention that women have status, developed technology has brought too much convenience, and there are more enjoyments.

"Master, are you going to set up a meal?" Qiu Yan's questioning pulled her back to reality.

Shen Jing actually wanted to take a good bath, but he was also hungry, and after thinking about it, he replied: "Swing it, I'm hungry too." ”

Because someone had been informed in advance, the steward of the annex had prepared the meal in the morning, and after hearing the order, he prepared the food in a short time.

Shen Jing quickly finished eating, rested for a while, and then called someone to prepare water to bathe her. Too tired during the day, Shen Jing went to bed early.

The next day, Shen Jing got up early in the morning, and Qiu Yan asked her when she was dressing up: "Zhuangtou He Yong came last night, I didn't pass when you fell asleep, I came early this morning, and now I'm in the yard!" ”

Shen Jing sighed and wondered, "Why did he come to see me in such a hurry?" ”

Of course, Qiu Yan didn't know, but after following Shen Jing for a long time, his ability to analyze problems also increased, and he replied at this time: "The slave doesn't know either, I think it's either to invite merit or to cry out for injustice." ”

Shen Jing asked Qiu Yan with interest, "How do you say this?" ”

"If the harvest in the Zhuangzi is good, it is to invite merit, if the harvest is not good, it is to cry out for injustice, and the slave feels that the left is only in these two situations." Qiu Yan said as she inserted a hairpin into Shen Jing.

Shen Jing quipped: "Our Qiuyan girl has been doing errands in the ready-to-wear room for so long, but she can take charge of it alone." ”

Qiu Yan was also not modest, and said proudly: "That's," and didn't forget to pat himself after admitting it, "but it's also because I learned the skills from Miss You." ”

"Qiu Yan is so capable, I will definitely be a steward for you in the future and find a good husband."

Qiu Yan and Xiao Xuan are Shen Jing's two most useful maids, one is introverted and steady, the other is extroverted and playful, because of their similar age, Shen Jing regards them as sisters in his heart. However, in ancient times, she valued respect and humility the most, and she couldn't be too outrageous, just thinking about finding a good family for the two of them in the future.

"Oh, the master will make fun of me." Speaking of her husband, Qiu Yan was also a little embarrassed, "It's not bad to be a steward." ”

Shen Jing smiled and returned to the topic, "Let He Yong come to see me!" ”

He Yong knelt down when he entered the hall and didn't speak, Shen Jing was a little confused by this kneeling, and the general steward didn't kneel when he saw the owner.

Shen Jing was stunned for a second, and then said: "It's really strange that you're in charge, I didn't look for you, you came to see me in such a hurry, see me, you kneel down for me without saying a word, you have to give me a reason, don't you?" ”

He Yong looked honest and bowed his head when he knelt down, but Shen Jing noticed that he secretly looked at him as soon as he came in.

He Yong did look at Shen Jing, seeing that she was not very old, long and bright, and her heart should be a good coax, and when he heard her question at this moment, he replied: "The villain has been, and he is here to receive punishment." ”

Shen Jing turned his head to look at the proud Qiu Yan, and then turned his head to look at He Yong who was kneeling, with a faint smile in his tone, "You think I'm an immortal, right?" If you say something, I'll know what you're talking about, right? ”

He Yong glanced at Shen Jing suspiciously, and immediately lowered his head, "The villain is stupid and can't understand the meaning of the owner." ”

Shen Jing snorted, "I don't think you're stupid, but you're very shrewd!" I didn't bother to go around the bend with him, and asked directly: "You just say what you are doing, right?" I don't even know what you've done wrong here. ”

He Yong was stunned for a moment, and then made another confession, until Shen Jing was impatient before he got to the point.

He Yong crackled and said a lot of words, Shen Jing listened quietly, and finally summed it up, it turned out that the rent of Hejia Village in the last quarter had not been paid yet, and He Yong came to ask for this.

Why can't you pay the rent? Because this year's harvest is only enough to make ends meet, there is really no surplus to pay.

"This wind and rain are smooth, I heard that many Zhuangzi harvests are much better than before, why did you come to me, the harvest is less?" Shen Jing's tone was still light, and the people who only listened felt that this master was angry.

He Yong replied tremblingly: "If you go back to the owner's house, it's not that the harvest is bad, but you see that you are about to harvest, but you are stolen by thieves, and you have been stolen five times, and in the end, most of it has been stolen." ”

Shen Jing frowned, "Didn't you take any measures?" Let someone else steal it? Do you know who stole it? ”

He Yong replied: "I reported to the official, and I didn't care about it anymore if I didn't find anything after eating for a day." We sent people to go to various places to squat and guard, but the men were single, and there were many of them, and they stole here tonight and there tomorrow night, and every person who sent them was tied up and thrown aside, and I don't know who did it. ”

Shen Jing was stunned for a moment, this is still a guerrilla war.

"No clues?" Shen Jing was puzzled, "You can always hear it if you can't see it, right?" Didn't these bandits leave any information behind? ”

He Yong replied with a sad face: "No." ”

He Yong kept his head down when he answered, and Shen Jing couldn't see his face, and he couldn't tell whether what he said was true or false. Immediately, he said: "I know about this, I will send someone to investigate, and I will make a conclusion when there is a result, you can go back first!" ”

He Yong left with a nervous heart, he was not sure what the owner would do with this matter.

After He Yong left, Shen Jing had breakfast again slowly and methodically, and then called Xiao Xuan to find Qin Wu, the head of her nursing home.

Qin Wu came quickly, and his attitude towards Shen Jing was very respectful, "What does the master command?" ”

"You find a few reliable people to secretly inquire about the person who is the head of this village," Shen Jing commanded, thought about it and said, "By the way, let's see if you can get a clue about the person who stole the crops." ”

Qin Wu took the order, and Qiu Yan asked curiously: "The master doesn't believe He Zhuangtou's words." ”

"I don't know much about him, so of course I can't believe him."

The owner of this Hejiazhuang was originally the old lady of the Shen Mansion, that is, Shen Jing's grandmother, and in the matter of Shen Jing's marriage, because her grandmother felt ashamed of her, she asked Gan to choose one from her Zhuangzi for her granddaughter, and Gan chose it unceremoniously.

Shen Jing has only been married for half a year, which means that this Hejia Village has just changed hands, and the people in charge are all from the old club, of course Shen Jing can't believe him without knowing it.

Shen Jing said again: "Besides, your intention was right, and coming to confess in such a hurry gave me a feeling of preemptiveness, I don't like this feeling very much." ”

"Oh, miss, what are you going to do next?" Qiu Yan asked.

"Of course, it's a walk."

Shen Jing went out with Qiu Yan and a few nurses, wandering out leisurely, and when he met the farmers in the field, most of them guessed her identity, and they would stop to say hello.

This Hejiazhuang is also able to operate, fruit trees, vegetables, corn and the like are planted, and it was corn that was stolen last quarter.

After wandering around for a day, Shen Jing's experience when she returned to the other courtyard was that if she had such a large piece of land in her previous life, she would be a proper rich man, and the company in her previous life would not be valuable.

Qin Wu quickly brought back the news they had inquired about.

"According to the evaluation of those farmers, this He Zhuangtou is a little timid, but he cares about the farmers, and he will go around the fields every day to take a look and ask, but if he is approached for something, he will not do anything."

Shen Jing thought to himself, isn't this just inaction? "Is there a clue about the bandits?"

Qin Wu shook his head, "It's been a long time, and I won't be able to find out for a while." Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he said to Shen Jing: "However, some villagers suspect that they are from Liujia Village next door, because their harvest this year is much more than in previous years, and normally there will not be so much." ”

"Who knows the owner of Liujia Village next door?" Shen Jing asked casually.

Qin Wu glanced at her, as if he was a little inexplicable, and before Shen Jing could take a closer look, he heard him reply, "It's Mrs. Hou." ”

When Shen Jing heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then frowned, feeling that his soul was not gone.

If the owner next door is the Shen family, then this suspicion is not impossible? If you want to ask Shen Jing why she is so determined, she can't tell.

"Send someone to investigate! See if their harvest is too much worse than in previous years. Shen Jing instructed Qin Wudao again.

After Qin Wu left, Shen Jing called the steward of the other courtyard to question, and asked about the changes in the harvest before and after Shen Jing took over Zhuangzi.

This steward was chosen by the Gan family, and after Shen Jing married into the Houfu, he directly sent her to take care of the other courtyard. She walked around with the surrounding farmers a lot and learned more, "The harvest was not bad before, but this year it is even more abundant, but I didn't expect to make wedding clothes for others." ”

"Have you ever been stolen before?" Shen Jing said curiously.

The steward replied, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Shen Jing sneered, "This is strange, if your harvest is enough, you will steal it, and when it is not enough, you will not steal." ”

The steward snapped, "But it's strange." ”

Shen Jing thought for a while and instructed the steward, "It's hard for you to go to He Zhuangtou's house, and ask me to take a look at the account book." ”

Shen Jing loved it in his previous life, and he saw a lot of it, and the heroine went to Zhuangzi to check the accounts, why didn't she even see an account book here, so she had to investigate the case for others?

This He Yong couldn't get it, it was a plea, and it made Shen Jing forget to ask for the account book.

In fact, this kind of Zhuangzi's account book is the simplest, which is nothing more than which family has contracted how much land, how much rent should be paid, and how much rent is actually paid. Although it is simple, it is easy to make a fake, but if it is true or false, I believe it will not escape her Shen Jing's eyes.

He Yong carefully handed the account book to the steward, "Why do you suddenly want to check the accounts?" ”

When the steward heard this, he smiled: "It's strange that He Zhuangtou asked, what did the owner do when he came to Zhuangzi and didn't check the accounts?" With that, he took the ledger and left.
