Before dinner, a few more people came anxiously to ask about the case, and it only took a moment for Zhuang Rou to solve these cases easily, and the Rescue Division made a profit of more than 3,000 taels a day.

knew that this would make her reputation very bad, but she didn't have to be promoted, and she didn't care at all. Say whatever you want, as long as there is money in your account.

Zhuang Rou had already calculated, King An still had 210,000 taels of silver, so that the disaster relief department would have more silver. It's just that she gave King An the 100,000 taels for nothing, but she was reluctant, and she thought about finding a way to get the silver back.

Anyway, it will take some time for the Empress Dowager to take out the silver and transport it to Hongzhou, and she will definitely have already figured out a way by then.

Chu Xia didn't show up that day, and when Zhuang Rou went back to the study at night to sleep, he didn't find his figure in the study, but the brazier still burned one for her.

Thinking that he must have fooled around with King An again, Zhuang Rou pursed her lips, and if she got together, she really wouldn't do good things.

Early the next morning, when she had just started work, Ma Dezheng came to report that many ordinary people outside the yamen had all shouted grievances and asked for a trial.

Zhuang Rou was not surprised and said: "Many of the cases I sent out yesterday were neighborhood disputes, small fights, and the official had already seen the case files and was confident. They were called in on a first-come, first-served basis, and the judge closed their cases. ”

Ma Dezheng said with some embarrassment: "My lord, as soon as the people who received the number yesterday come today, I will ask people to bring them in and wait outside the courtyard." Now all the people gathered at the entrance of the yamen are those who heard last night that the adults were going to clear the case, and they rushed over on purpose, and in addition to the old cases, there are also many new cases. ”

"What?" Zhuang Rou was speechless for a moment, the reason why she picked out these cases was because as long as she knew who was right and who was wrong at a glance, she could easily solve them, and she could also fine a sum of money to help the disaster.

If all the old cases had to be saved, it would not be so easy at all, and at least you would have to check the confession and visit. And there are new cases, so where do you have time to go to disaster relief?

She suddenly thought of the other officials, and she couldn't let herself do it all, so she asked, "Have you seen your lordship?" ”

Ma Dezheng knew that she was asking the county king, so he laughed and said, "My lord, the county king should still be sleeping at this hour." ”

"Okay, you block those people and let them rest easy, and I'll go and ask the adults to call them to try the case. If I were alone, where would I be able to finish trying so many cases? Zhuang Rou got up and threw down the words, and ran outside, she was not so stupid, she took all these cases by herself.

It stands to reason that all major cases should be tried by the state, Zhuang Rou feels that she is just a little colt, not a person in the state capital, and the trial is not her own business. Being able to take a hand to try some cases can be regarded as doing good deeds.

She trotted all the way back to the back office and came directly to Chu Xia's courtyard. Pushed open the door of his room, rushed to the inside and opened the tent, and plopped down on the quilt.

Chu Xia was taken aback, thinking that the bed had collapsed and pressed him, but when he opened his eyes, he found that it was Zhuang Rou, and he immediately asked in surprise, "What are you going to do?" ”

"My lord, you give an order, let Tongzhi and Tongju go with me to clear the case. Now there are many victims outside the city, and if there is a pilup of unjust cases in the city, I am afraid that it will cause resentment among the people. Zhuang Rou pressed the quilt with her hands, and smiled at his sleepy-eyed appearance.

So that's what happened......

Chu Xia had already supported half of his body, but when he heard this, he fell on the bed again, and said lazily: "Don't, you think everyone is as idle as you." They are very busy with their respective duties, and if someone clears the case early, they can wait until this time. ”

"How is it possible, they are obviously idle." Zhuang Roucai didn't believe his words, and Tongzhi and Tongju sat there drinking tea all day, when did they ever work.

Chu Xia pretended to be straight and said: "There is one who is not scared by you and is sick, and he has not been well when he goes home to recuperate. Fan Tongzhi is ignorant and entangled with the local clan, so he is afraid that the case will continue to be unjust, can you rest assured? ”

"Although Wu Tongzhi can do things, he is now harvesting autumn grain and paying taxes, and this year's harvest is not very good. The rest of Xu Tong was in charge of water conservancy and river transportation and other miscellaneous matters, and all of them were unavailable. ”

Zhuang Rou frowned, "But usually they are drinking tea there, and they don't do anything, they are all the scribes below doing things, right?" ”

Chu Xia had an indisputable expression of hatred, and said stupidly: "The scribe is not allowed to turn the sky upside down if no one looks at him, and I don't see you delegating power to Ma Dezheng." It is precisely because I am not at ease that I have to have officials watch. And I've heard that the retrial case is not all made up by yourself, and now you find that the trial can't be tried and you want to push it to others, is it possible? ”

"What then? I retried the case just to get money for the disaster relief department, and I didn't want to retry all the cases, so I didn't have time at all. Zhuang Rou lowered her head and hit the quilt a few times, and said annoyedly.

Chu Xia suddenly screamed, his small body couldn't stand the impact of the hammer, and said helplessly: "Why don't this king help you try a few cases?" ”

"You?" Zhuang Rou raised her head and looked at him very suspiciously, a little unsure in her heart, whether he came to help him try the case or not.

"Anyway, this king is idle and has nothing to do, so I'll come and help you, and promise to solve the case in one day." Chu Xia looked at her with a smile, Zhuang Rou's retrial of the case was the one he let the dark line pass out, and many bitter masters came one after another as soon as they heard that Zhuang Rou was clearing the case.

Don't look at her reputation in Hongzhou, she looks like a murderer, but she also knows that she is slapped in the face, whether you are poor or rich, she also doesn't care about the people of the big clan.

This kind of person is somewhat better than the original Tongzhi and Tongju, and those who really wear the same pants as the powerful will not win at all.

She will not drag the case when she comes to clear the case, no matter what the trial of the case looks like, it will not be like now, and the lawsuit will not be tried for several years.

She was afraid that she would not work after the trial of the case was late, and all the people who had grievances poured over, which was exactly the effect that Chu Xia wanted.

His expression was too childish, and he looked like he was about to play, which made Zhuang Rou vigilant. This guy won't be idle, he wants to use the people to pass the time and play!

"Forget it." She endured it, and finally said helplessly, "The Disaster Relief Department will do what I asked before, don't interfere at will, I will solve these cases." ”

Chu Xia suddenly said with a face full of grievances: "This king was all for the good of the disaster victims before, and if you didn't let me feed them, this king listened to you." The 210,000 taels of silver I got from King An are not all for you, but this king has not filled his own pockets. ”

"It's really chilling that you doubt this king like this, this king is a warm-hearted pair of cold backs, which is really sad."

Zhuang Rou couldn't stand him like this the most, and quickly said: "Okay, I'll just say it casually, I believe you." Then I'll go to try the case, and you can go back to sleep. ”

"Remember to close the door." Chu Xia pulled the quilt, he hadn't slept enough, and it would take at least an hour or two to get up.

Zhuang Rou walked out and closed the door, looked up at the sky and sighed. What is this called, there is no reliable official in this yamen except himself?
