Zhuang Rou doesn't care what Zhu Fenggong thinks, anyway, if he wants to find death, he is the one who dies, and there is nothing to sympathize with people who are stupid to the extreme.

The doctor was called, and he was asked to treat the people of the Jinbao Gambling House casually, as long as they did not die in prison, and then they were all locked up. If she didn't pay taxes, she wouldn't mind if all the merchants of the entire county were arrested and locked up here.

After doing these things, Zhuang Rou and Niu Dayong walked out and found that the lobby seemed to be a little noisy, could it be that the Chen family sent someone over again?

She walked over and saw that there were already more than a dozen people in the public hall, and many more were walking in. Wu Renyao, who was going to study medicine and had already read books, was called to the table to keep accounts at this time.

Everyone honestly took the initiative to report the money they had paid before, and they all wrote it down anyway, and they couldn't escape if they wanted to. But most people still cautiously asked if it was okay to pay eight achievements, after all, it was a little less to pay a little.

Although Wu Renyao knows how to read, this job has never been done by him, and no one even wants to be a clerk when he is ugly. He was busy keeping accounts there, and Ma Dezheng and Niu Dayong were also busy collecting cash tickets.

Zhu Fenggong's expression was very calm, but he was very surprised in his heart, these people really came to pay taxes, and they took the initiative to come!

As long as there are no more accidents, he will be considered a stable official, but the affairs of the Chen family have to wait for the little county king to see, who is more capable in the end. He hasn't cheated in officialdom for a few years, so his brain can't turn around, but he hasn't forgotten how to be an official, just get used to it for a few days.

The people of the entire Douhu County know that the Chen family's Jinbao gambling house was smashed and arrested for not paying taxes, but the Tianxia Fang, which has an unknown background, was the first person to pay taxes and silver.

Even the world lowered its head, how could other people hold on, look at what the Chen family was smashed into, but they are the uncle of the country! No matter how powerful you are, can you be stronger than this?

Anyway, you have to pay the money, it's better to take the initiative to show sincerity, don't ask to please the little king, at least don't let him remember.

Seeing that they came earlier than she expected, Zhuang Rou finally felt more relaxed, and now she could investigate the case properly.

It took three days to pay the tax before everyone's Ding'an tax was collected, and the rest had to wait for the little county king to get back all the principal and interest from the Chen Family Martial Arts Pavilion.

The king of Xiaojun did not come to the county government to recuperate from his injuries, but when he heard that the people took the initiative to pay taxes, he immediately sent his master out to take charge. Not to mention anything else, the silver should be held in his own hands, including the repair of the yamen, he is not at ease to do it for this group of poor ghosts.

In three days, the county government received a total of nearly 80,000 taels of tax silver, and it is conceivable how much silver the Chen family was greedy for at that time. With this silver, the master began to make the entire county government really move.

The clerks have been recruited again, and there are a lot of miscellaneous servants, and each person who should be arrested can bring four miscellaneous servants to do some things like arresting with his guards. The original cell boss couldn't do it anymore, so he called his son to go up and find a few more guards.

Even the county man, who is said to have been lying in bed for several years and is in his sixties and relies on medicine all day long, is miraculously much better, trembling and holding on crutches and coming to work. Fortunately, there is nothing to do for him at this time, as long as he comes over every day to order something.

The post of chief bookkeeper was vacant, so the master took care of it, although he was not suspended, but he was in charge of things.

The repair of the county government has also officially begun, the wood, bricks and tiles have been moved over, the number of craftsmen is more than please, the county government is not short of silver, and all the repairs must be completed before the small county king heals his injury.

Looking at the new capture suit on her body, Zhuang Rou looked sideways at Chen Mufeng, who was standing at the gate of the county ya, looked at her with her eyes, raised her eyebrows and said, "Get on the horse, you will be my follower from today onwards." ”

Chen Mufeng hurriedly rode his tall horse with black wool like silk, and said excitedly: "Sister Zhuang, I also beat an iron rod like you, what do you think?" ”

"Yes, if a fool like you had a knife, you would hack someone to death. Actually, I'm not worried about this, mainly because I'm afraid that someone will snatch the knife and kill yourself. Zhuang Rou stared at his waist and glanced at it, and sure enough, there was an iron rod, but it was not wrapped in cotton, but an extra layer of cloth that was easy to handle.

Chen Mufeng slapped his chest and shouted loudly: "That's impossible, except for Sister Zhuang, no one can hurt me." Look at my strong muscles, punching bag-sized fists, one punch can beat them to pieces of paper! ”

Zhuang Rou got on the horse, glanced at him and said, "Okay, we are going to solve the case, not to rob the house, what do we want to do with our muscles!" ”

"Almost." Ah Mufeng smiled, and as soon as he clamped the horse's belly, the two walked towards the city.

Ma Dezheng had already changed into a brand-new head-catching suit at this time, and there was no need to worry about livelihood at home, he stood at the gate of the county government that was still being repaired with a knife, and watched Zhuang Rou and the two leave with some inexplicability.

He doesn't understand what the current rich and noble sons are thinking, this is not the ninth son of Chen Shangshu's family in the Ministry of Officials, why did he come here to be Zhuang Rou's follower? also forced them not to speak out, this is still up to them, follow this sister will spread all over the streets in a few days.

When the time comes, if Chen Shangshu comes to the door, don't harm these little fish and shrimp.

But...... He was full of doubts, what case was Zhuang Rou going to do?

Now there is no case, and there are only those people in the Jinbao Gambling House who are closed, and these will not be dealt with until the Chen family's affairs and adults are torn up. Could it be that Sister Zhuang wants to find some cases for nothing!

Mader stood at the door for a long time, and was blinded several times by the craftsman who repaired the gate, before he came to his senses in the disgruntled complaint of the foreman. Thinking about everything, she and the little county king were on top, what kind of heart did he, so he happily went back to the backyard to pat himself.

Zhuang Rou took Chen Mufeng to chat all the way, and went to Dachi Village, Beimen County when she left Douhu County, Lin Yubao's first seven years have not passed, and she wants to see how the funeral is going.

And the bruises on Chen Mufeng's body haven't all faded yet, but fortunately, his body is strong, and he doesn't feel much pain when he rides on the horse, so he complains endlessly.

"You've only been kneeling all night in the ancestral hall? I thought it would be at least three days, but I didn't expect Ling Zun to really hurt you. Zhuang Rou listened to what he said about that night, and immediately laughed, what a fool.

Chen Mufeng saw that there was no unhappiness on her face, so he asked curiously: "I told my mother like this, aren't you angry?" ”

Zhuang Rou was a little puzzled, "What am I angry about, aren't you the one with bad conduct?" There are no rumors of me in the neighborhood, so I am looking for trouble. ”

"But my mother has always wanted to ask who you are, and she pesters me every day. Fortunately, I mentioned to my father yesterday about studying, so I can run out today, otherwise I would have been annoyed by my mother. Chen Mufeng preached with palpitations, and he was very worried about how to explain this matter with a bitter face, and even his married eldest sister came to judge him, which was really unbearable.

"If you want to die, you can just say who it is, I don't mind taking your corpse back to Shangshu Mansion." Zhuang Rou said lightly.

Chen Mufeng didn't believe it at all: "Cut, I don't believe that you will kill me like this, and besides, how dangerous it can be to be arrested, catch some little thieves and stop a few shameless people who are playing with the women of the good family." ”

Listening to his disdainful tone, Zhuang Rou asked, "It's so boring, why are you still running here, go home and train your muscles." ”

"It's not interesting to be arrested, but Sister Zhuang, you are good. I'm mainly here to learn the art of fighting the enemy, not to be caught in this way. Chen Mufeng whistled and said disdainfully.

Zhuang Rou glanced at him meaningfully, and then no longer mentioned this matter, but talked about the housekeeper Li Zhongxin, "You only found out that Renyazi is good with him?" How could it be just so little. ”

Chen Mufeng said unconvinced: "Just a little housekeeper, how much more ability can he have, a good one is a fireworks woman, plus the woman I saw that day, but it is said that there are several maids who are interested in him." ”

"Poof, he has dozens of acres of land and tens of thousands of taels of silver in real estate, maybe it's more than the property of your concubines." Zhuang Rou smiled, it's so naïve, he didn't show him the things in the drawer that day, he couldn't find out, novices are like this.

Hearing that Li Zhongxin had so much property, Chen Mufeng was stunned, and shouted in disbelief: "Impossible, how can he have so much silver!" Isn't there more of that big butler, who dares to take my family's money to fill his own pocket! ”

He felt very angry now, even his favored sister-in-law, the Ninth Young Master, usually had a little money to spend, where could he have tens of thousands of taels of silver. Now when I heard that even a subordinate was richer than him, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Zhuang Rou didn't bother to pay attention to him, but just lectured: "It's your business what you want to do, but this case is what I'm investigating, and you are not allowed to startle the snake." No matter how unhappy you are, you have to endure it for me, and you can toss it again when the case is over. ”

"But I guess your mother or Lord Shangshu won't do anything to your housekeepers."

Chen Mufeng said in disbelief: "Why? ”

"Do you think that Lord Shangshu's little money is enough to support your whole family? Don't say it's you sisters-in-law, you can't even raise a few Yahuan. Why don't you just sue your father for corruption? Zhuang Rou laughed.

"......" Chen Mufeng was so blocked that he couldn't speak, and he only felt that it didn't seem interesting to be a follower.

The two of them gossiped along the way and arrived at Dachi Village, this time Zhuang Rou didn't have to come secretly, thinking that Lin Lai's rich family was so rich, the funeral must be very lively. This kind of thing must be dispatched by the whole village, although it sounds pitiful, it is very refreshing to eat and drink for nothing.

But when they arrived at the entrance of the village, they found that there was no difference from the last time she came, and there was no one doing a funeral. Riding a horse and continuing to walk inside, she felt that something was wrong, there was nothing at the door of the Lin family's big mansion, and what about the mortuary head seven?

Chen Mufeng looked left and right, and asked curiously: "Where is the funeral, I still want to see the flowing water banquet, I heard that it is lively to eat casually on a street." ”

Zhuang Rou frowned at this time, jumped off the horse and walked to the door of Lin's house, and slapped the door directly.

The door creaked open, and an old servant opened the door and saw a famous woman standing at the door, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and stammered and asked, "I don't know if the official is here, what are you doing?" ”

"Why didn't your family hold a funeral, where is Lin Yubao's body?" Zhuang Rou asked straight to the point.

The old servant looked at her stunned, and said a little incoherently: "Miss Yubao just got married, when did she die?" ”

Zhuang Rou raised her eyebrows, pushed away the old servant and walked into the Lin family.
