Chapter 396: The Cold Wind Rises

Zhuang Rou, who took over a large number of retrial cases, was busy every day, and most of the head-catching officials were handed over to her, and the officials were doing the investigation of the case, but they could not replace her to try the case.

And the people only want her to try the case, and if she finds another official to try the case, she has to send money, and there is no reliable letter.

Even if she is fined silver, she will not bankrupt her family, she feels much more reliable, and besides, the silver is also a disaster relief, which is better than spending it on the official.

The Disaster Relief Department is also under her vigorous fines, and the disaster relief silver is earning more and more. Every day, she had to take some time to check the accounts, watching the silver deposits in the account books continue to increase, plus the 210,000 taels of silver, it should be barely enough for the victims to survive this winter.

Zhuang Rou was relieved, put down the account book and said to herself with some doubts: "It's been almost half a month, why hasn't the silver compensated by King An come yet?" It was clearly said that the Empress Dowager had already sent the silver to the eunuchs in the palace, why did she walk so slowly! ”

She was very unhappy, King An's silver did not come, but her grandson came two. What do you say that the grandfather is here to recuperate, how can the grandson not fulfill his filial piety and come to serve King An.

After I came, I went to ask for a peace every day, and I was accompanied by Fan Tongzhi's son to play everywhere. During the day, I will travel to the mountains and rivers, and at night I will linger in the various Goolan incense shops, and I will come back with a body of wine at dawn.

After coming back every day to bathe and change clothes, he poured a bowl of vinegar, then rinsed his mouth with garlic juice, and finally chewed the bay leaves, covered the wine, and then went to ask for peace to King An, who also had fun drinking and had fun, and had not yet woken up.

After being sent away by the impatient Prince An, they went back to sleep.

The day before yesterday, she accidentally walked past them, and the strange smell of garlic and fragrance that spewed out of her mouth was so smoky that people could not breathe, and they almost suffocated to death.

For this reason, Zhuang Rou also specially asked Chu Xia if he went to see the eldest princess after drinking, whether he would also gargle garlic juice and chew bay leaves, but he was deeply despised.

As the first gentleman in the capital, how could he bow his head to the elders, naturally no matter how much he drank, he would also go back to his own courtyard. A person who obediently goes back to the house and is scolded by his elders is what kind of.

Seeing that he was still powerful, Zhuang Rou didn't bother to pay attention to him, and wanted to show off that he was the most powerful gentleman at every opportunity, and he didn't see him do anything since he was born, and he didn't know where this came from.

"I'm tired, why are there so many cases, that kind of trivial matter of dogs biting and stealing chickens, can you stop suing the official......" She crawled on the table weakly, muttering dissatisfiedly, how could these people be so annoying.

At this moment, there was another sound of hurried footsteps in the courtyard, and she flattened her mouth dissatisfiedly, it must be that the official came to report that there was a new case.

Immediately, there was a bright color at the door, Chu Xia walked in brightly dressed, and said with a serious expression: "Xiaorou, it's not good, that silver was robbed on the road!" ”

"Huh? Which silver? Zhuang Rou still crawled on the table, tilting her head to look at him. Suddenly reacted, and sat up suddenly, "Three hundred and one thousand taels!" King An's money! ”

Chu Xia nodded, "Yes, it's that silver." It was robbed in Sancai Bay last night, and the escort was fortunately only injured, no one died, but there were a few serious injuries that had been sent for treatment. ”

"But the silver was robbed of the ship, and not a tael was left, and it seems that this world is really not peaceful."

"Bang!"

Zhuang Rou slapped his palm on the table and stood up, gritted his teeth and asked: "Who did it, the money of the government dares to rob, I will go and destroy their lair!" ”

Her disaster relief money has also been moved, and she is really tired!

This silver is to be used for disaster relief, and the loss of 210,000 taels is very great, which has a great impact on the victims. Originally, she wanted to deduct King An's 100,000 taels, but she didn't want to lose her own points!

Chu Xia frowned and said heavily: "I have already asked, the group of people are all masked, they have very few words, and they have not reported the way." ”

He paused, "After robbing such a large sum of silver, who will report their way out, wishing to be found?" And it should have been the news, otherwise I wouldn't have known that there was such a sum of money to be sent. ”

"Uncle Chen Guo......" Zhuang Rou thought of someone, except for this person, she really couldn't think of anyone

Dare to do such a thing.

The front took away his silver, so this time he knew about it and snatched it back.

Zhuang Rou took a deep breath, "Even if we have a grudge with him, this silver is also used for disaster relief, and he actually disregarded the lives of the people for personal grudges, which is really a great crime!" ”

Seeing that she hadn't mentioned it over there yet, she guessed Uncle Chen Guo by herself, and Chu Xia only felt that this guy was really cooperative.

He scolded angrily: "This old man just doesn't want me to be an official well, I will go to the emperor to join him and accuse him of robbing the official silver!" If you don't do this official, you can't just forget it, it's a big deal that this king is not an official in Hongzhou! ”

"Sue what, you don't have any evidence that he did it!" When Zhuang Rou heard this, he immediately crossed his eyebrows to stop him.

If Chu Xia didn't become the governor of Hongzhou, then he couldn't stay here. At such a critical moment, if you throw the victims to those incompetent and unconscious officials, you will definitely have to die more than half!

Even if you don't want to do it, you can only get the beginning of spring, and now you must not let Chu Xia leave Hongzhou, you must let him continue to be the governor here honestly.

Chu Xia said unconvinced: "I'm the king of the dignified county, can I just endure it?" ”

Zhuang Rou didn't want to endure this breath, this silver was very important to the victims, but if it was to the court now, Uncle Chen would definitely make a bad move.

She gritted her teeth fiercely, "I'll clean him up after the beginning of spring, if we leave Hongzhou now, won't the money for disaster relief be prepared by corrupt officials." ”

"What about the silver, is it enough to eat until the beginning of spring?" Chu Xia asked with a heavy frown.

Sighing, Zhuang Rou sat down dejectedly, "Look, I'll think of other ways to get some silver." If it doesn't work, tie Wang An's family to the mountains to make meat tickets, and let the emperor pay for the silver. ”

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Chu Xia was a little unbearable, but he still endured it ruthlessly, "I'll interrogate it again, but there are any clues, but there shouldn't be much hope." ”

"Hmm." Zhuang Rou responded and scolded all the eight generations of Uncle Chen's ancestors, how did his family give birth to such a hateful person.

Chu Xia didn't continue to disturb her, but went out of the courtyard, leaving Zhuang Rou, who had been hit too hard, to be quiet alone.

At this time, in a place more than an hour away from Hongzhou on horseback, there was an unnamed hill, and a group of people dragged a bunch of boxes into the mountain with a dozen wagons.

The carriage entered an old stockade on the hill, and the boxes were unloaded from the wagon.

Mo Zuo walked over, opened one of the boxes, looked at the white silver inside, picked one up casually, weighed it in his hand, and snorted coldly: "When Lao Tzu went to the battlefield, the imperial court gave some military salaries and food, and always said that there was no money. Now it's just a waste prince, and the palace can take out 310,000 taels at will, and he really doesn't treat soldiers as inappropriate! ”

"General, we robbed the government's silver, will we be caught in the future?" One of his own soldiers asked.

Mo Zuo threw the silver to him, and said in a dashing manner: "This silver was robbed by the king of Yinde County and used to support his private soldiers, we are just innocent soldiers who don't know." When the sky fell, naturally he and my brother-in-law were on top of it, worrying about something. ”

The soldier cautiously asked: "But this silver is said to belong to the general's wife, if she knows about this in the future, will she be angry?" ”

Mo Zuo paused for a moment, waved his big hand and shouted majestically: "What do women know, how can men do things that women can control." Seeing that I didn't have a punching bag, she dared to talk nonsense about me! ”

"My lord, are you still beating women?" The soldier was stunned and asked in surprise.

These words made Mo Zuo suddenly feel some dull pain in his abdomen, obviously the wound that was stabbed by Zhuang Rou had already healed, but it made him a little embarrassed, and he suddenly scolded angrily: "There is so much nonsense, get out of the box and move the box, don't bother General Ben!" ”

The soldiers hurriedly shrunk their necks to move the boxes, not daring to ask any more questions.

Mo Zuo was a little skeptical at this time, this matter could not be deliberately designed by Chu Xia's kid to make Zhuang Rou hate himself and thus separate from him, right?

No, you have to hurry up and propose marriage to settle the marriage, so as to save you a lot of dreams at night!
