Early the next morning, Zhuang Rou woke up and felt a little uncomfortable in her eyes. She thought that there should be too many braziers at night, and it was not a snowy day, so she put two braziers and blinded her eyes.

She sat up and glanced at the brazier, which was only warm, and thought to herself, isn't this all good charcoal, how can she feel that there is smoke in her eyes at night.

And Chu Xia has to work here, it is too inconvenient to sleep by himself, and this bed has to hang a thick tent. At night, when the tent is pulled down, it is as safe as sleeping in a large coffin.

Knowing that Chu Xia would not get up so early to come to the office, Zhuang Rou got up and cleaned up, and after washing up, he planned to sneak out quietly first. Yesterday was too anxious to check the situation of the victims, and we had to find out how many people and how much silver we still have.

At that time, calculate the rations, and if it is not enough, ask the big households in Hongzhou to talk about whether they can save some money and donate some money.

Although this is a bit shameless, it is better than starving to death of the victims, and it is better to promise them some benefits when the time comes. If it doesn't work, it will be rumored that Zhou Ping is going to marry a princess of the county with an innocent background, and wait for someone with this mind to be deceived.

"My lord, please accept this silver, and please say a few more kind words for us in front of the king of Baojun, my daughter is very virtuous." As she walked, she muttered what the big families would say, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was a joke.

The two scribes watched her come from afar, and saw that she was obviously alone, but she was whispering something, and laughing when she was happy. The two couldn't help but shudder, Zhuang Dianshi came back from the capital to a concubine, and the whole person looked even more crazy than before.

In the past, it was hidden inside, and as long as there was no blood, it was usually normal. Now it doesn't work, and no one starts talking to themselves, it's like they've fallen into an evil spirit.

Zhuang Rou touched her belly with satisfaction after muttering, and decided to do just that, pushing Zhou Ping out as a target, she didn't feel guilty at all.

She was walking past the two scribes, but she was stopped by them, and she held up a few books with both hands, "My lord, please take a look." ”

"Something, disaster relief?" Zhuang Rou stretched out his hand and took it, and after turning a few pages, he felt that something was wrong, how could it be all cases!

The scribe said respectfully: "My lord, during the time you left, there were people outside the city who were making trouble, and there were cases in the city. The headhunters are busy every day, and they have piled up so many unsolved cases, so I hope that adults will investigate these cases. ”

So that's the case, Zhuang Rou nodded, and asked casually: "Then I'll pick a few cases, and this chicken will be stolen." ”

Everyone wants to pick some simple cases, this kind of chicken loss is easy, if it doesn't work, just buy a new one to make a difference.

The scribe rubbed his hands and stammered, "My lord, these cases are all assigned to you, and you have to handle them all." ”

"What! I don't want it, Hongzhou is such a small territory, there are several heads, how can there be so many cases assigned to me. Zhuang Rou threw the book back, she was not wronged, why should she help others solve the case.

The scribe is in a hurry, this is an order from Lord Zhizhou, if Zhuang Rou refuses to take it, they will be miserable!

The two hurriedly said: "My lord, there is a case here, it is a woman's husband who disappeared, and her in-laws sued her in front of the clan, saying that she murdered her husband, so she should be executed according to the clan rules." happened to be caught by the horse, so he snatched it back and locked him in prison. ”

Now her husband's family is clamoring for us to deliver her or their son, but when we ask the woman, she has no idea where her husband has gone. If she can't find her husband, with the physical evidence and confession of her husband's family, she may really be sentenced to kill her husband. ”

The two of them specifically brought out this case to say that they had received Xiao Ran's guidance, and this kind of case related to women, some tragic cases, can arouse women's sympathy even more.

If there is no mistake, Zhuang Rou, who is a woman, will definitely take on this case.

And Zhuang Rou was furious when she heard it, "There are no corpses, what physical evidence and confession can there be, who can sentence her to murder?" The general sentence is still the same knowledge, or our adults can be so ignorant that they can't find the corpse and there is no conviction. ”

"My lord, but her husband's family said that if she didn't sentence, she would be handed over, and she couldn't be kept in prison forever. As long as this is released, she will definitely be lynched, and we will not be able to save her if we arrest someone to pay for her life. The two of them persuaded earnestly, but the adults said that if they couldn't complete the task, they would let the two of them go to be handymen.

This scribe who sits well in office work has become a miscellaneous servant, who can get used to it, this will not be able to turn over for a lifetime.

Zhuang Rou struggled for a while, and finally reached out and took the book, "Where is the case file, let others go to the other cases, I will take this one." ”

The scribes were happy for a while, quickly turned over the case, pointed and said, "My lord, this is the case, go to the prison to try her now?" ”

"I'm not hungry, are you?" Zhuang Rou asked.

"No, she just cries all the time, and there is food to eat." The scribe hurriedly replied, even if he scolded it, he didn't dare to say it.

Zhuang Rou closed the case file and didn't plan to go now, "Then let her stay, I'll go to have breakfast first, then check the account books of the Disaster Relief Division, and then try her after noon." ”

The scribe nodded, "Then leave it to the adult, and the villain will retire." ”

And Zhuang Rou took the case file to the kitchen for breakfast first, and met Chef Liu there, and saw that she had nothing to do, so she called her out.

"My lord, what do you have to call the villain?" Chef Liu has not yet had time to go to her son-in-law's house, and today she also wants to find an opportunity to ask Zhuang Rou and want to go and see it first.

Zhuang Rou looked around, and when she saw that there was no one, she took out a small bill of ten taels and stuffed it into Chef Liu's arms.

This frightened Chef Liu, and quickly pushed back the small banknote, "My lord, this can't be helped, you are already the villain's great benefactor, and you can't give this silver." ”

"Put it away, what are you pushing, pushing, shoving, don't let people see it." Zhuang Rou frowned and shouted, "I have something for you to do, this is the reward." ”

Chef Liu immediately received the small bill into her arms, looked around sneakily, and asked cautiously: "My lord, what do you want to tell the villain to do?" ”

Zhuang Rou patted her on the shoulder, "Don't be like this, people will think that you have a problem at a glance." It's nothing, you also know that there are a lot of displaced people in the city now, maybe there are gangsters in it, and it will endanger the people in the city. ”

"But if I'm going to ask people who is suspicious, because I'm an official, they won't tell me, and the bad guys will run away. So I want you to go to your son-in-law, and you don't have to go out of your way to inquire, and if you hear anything from chatting with the neighbors, just tell me. ”

It turned out to be chatting and gossiping about others, where is this considered an errand, I usually do it every day, Chef Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said: "Don't worry, my lord, I am the best at this." My son-in-law's neighborhood is so poor that he can talk a lot with a little food. ”

"Well, you can keep an eye on me, and if you can, you can make some cheap coarse food and sell it to the homeless. Occasionally, if you are a little kind to the homeless people, you must have a lot of intimate words with you. Zhuang Rou smiled and took out another twenty taels of small bills, "Give you the capital." ”

She put the silver ticket in Chef Liu's hand and said softly: "You don't have to look for me, when I want to see you, I will go to your house to look for you at night." ”

Chef Liu pinched the silver ticket and nodded, and heard Zhuang Rouba scolding loudly: "You are already the cook in the mansion, and you always mention that the palace is better than this, so unruly, what use do I want from you!" ”

"I can't afford an uncle like you, get out!" Zhuang Rou's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily.

Chef Liu was startled, her legs were weak for a while, and she realized that as long as this woman was fierce, she was so terrible.

Although she knew that she was letting herself take the opportunity to go, Chef Liu was really frightened, and ran out with a roll, and almost hit the wall in a panic.

Zhuang Rou raised her eyebrows, thinking that she was really pretending to be like her, so she could rest assured.
