Chapter 225: Black and White

The crime of dereliction of duty is not small.

If it was a trivial matter of petty theft and quarrels in the neighborhood, Su Jiu'er felt that it would be enough to let the master deal with it with the head catcher.

Su Jiu'er thought about it, and asked the housekeeper to send someone to find Gu Feng.

The housekeeper naturally knew how to control the noisy people outside, so he got Su Jiu'er's order and was busy preparing.

Su Jiu'er took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and turned her head to the Zhao family on the side and said, "Now it seems that it is not good to be an official, there are so many things to be busy, and the guild will be tired." ”

When Zhao heard Su Jiu'er say this, he smiled helplessly, shook his head helplessly, and said softly, "What are you talking about, being able to be a county master, but something that others have dreamed of for a lifetime." ”

Su Jiu'er only felt bitter in her mouth, and lowered her eyes helplessly, she still likes to be at home with Gu Feng, so that Gu Feng can come back to accompany her every night.

Since the two of them lived here, there were only a handful of places where she and Gu Feng had slept together.

Su Jiu'er was embroidering flowers, and a flash of light flashed in her mind.

Hey?

Zhou Zifu, Wednesday Gui.

Why are they all surnamed Zhou, what does they have to do with each other?

Su Jiu'er thought so, and hurriedly asked people to inquire about Zhou Zifu and Zhou Gui.

Xiao Xia is a lively person, listening to Su Jiu'er asking her to inquire about the Zhou family, she said with a smile, "Madam, this Zhou Zifu and Zhou Gui are cousins, the Zhou family is a big family here, and the family is entangled, even the former county magistrate has to give them a few thin noodles when he meets the Zhou family." ”

The Zhou family, how powerful is it?

According to Xiao Xia, this week's family is the head snake here, and the people in the government don't dare to confront them.

"The Zhou family is a decent family, many families want to marry their daughters into the Zhou family, Zhou Zifu loves beauties and has received a lot of beauties." Xiao Xia smiled and added tea to Su Jiu'er and Zhao, and continued, "But Wednesday Gui is an infatuation, it is rumored that he likes a girl, and that girl died of a terminal illness, and Wednesday Gui couldn't think about it for a while, so he became a monk. ”

Becoming a monk?

"I didn't expect that the two brothers of the Zhou family have such a big difference in temperament, and their lives in the future will be completely different." Zhao sighed and shook his head helplessly.

In the last life, Su Jiu'er heard about Zhou Zifu and Leng Mingyue, Zhou Zifu doted on the Qinglou woman and was angry with Leng Mingyue's family.

Su Jiu'er didn't expect that Wednesday Gui would be an infatuated species, becoming a monk for the woman she loved?

Beloved woman?

Su Jiu'er raised her eyes to look at Xiao Xia and asked suspiciously, "Which girl does Zhou Gui like?" ”

"Madame may not know, there used to be a Wanjia medical hall here, the doctor of the medical hall is young, and his medical skills are very good, his name is ......" Xiao Xia frowned, thinking hard, "By the way, it is called Wan Shu, and Dr. Wan Shu has a younger sister, called Wan Lin." ”

Su Jiu'er's face turned pale, and sure enough, she was not wrong.

"Miss Wan Lin is naturally gentle and good-looking, Zhou Zhou Gui has always liked Miss Wan Lin, but it's a pity that Miss Wan Lin doesn't have that mind for Zhou Gui." Xiao Xia remembered that Wan Lin was gone at a young age, and her mind was heavy, "Miss Wan Lin was terminally ill, and the news of Miss Wan Lin's death came from Wanjia, and this Wednesday Gui became a monk directly." ”

Su Jiu'er lowered her eyes slightly, many things have long since changed from word of mouth, but what made her sure was that Zhou Gui had become a monk.

"On Wednesday, Gui became a monk for half a month, and some people said that ten thousand families collaborated with the enemy and treason, and the people of this ten thousand families were gone." Xiao Xia lamented, she had seen Dr. Wan Shu once, and since then she has secretly promised it.

It's a pity that Dr. Wanshu left early.

"Which monastery is Katsura in that Wednesday now?" Su Jiu'er raised her eyes to look at Xiao Xia and asked with a serious face.

"It's the temple outside our city, the temple is not big, and I forgot what the name was." Xiao Xia smiled shyly and stood there obediently.

Xiao Xia's fart stock is not good yet, and he came out to serve Su Jiu'er at this time, all to leave a good impression in front of Su Jiu'er.

Xiaoqiu died, Xiaodong was sent away, and Xiaoxia was very scared when she thought of the two of them.

She had done something wrong, and she was afraid that Madame would still hold a grudge now.

"Mother, why don't we go to incense another day?" Su Jiu'er smiled and looked at the Zhao family beside her, "Just pray for the two children." ”

"That's okay, I don't know how your brother did in the exam, it seems that the results will be out in the next few days." As soon as Zhao thought of Su Mu going to take the Tongsheng exam, her heart began to beat uneasily, and she only hoped that Su Mu could be admitted now.

"Yes." Su Jiu'er agreed with a smile, picked up the tea cup on the side, put it to his lips and took a sip.

While speaking, the housekeeper walked in from outside, looked at his face and seemed to be a little ugly, and saluted Su Jiu'er, "Madam, I heard that someone accused the Zhou family of Zhou Zifu for murder. ”

Zhou Zifu!

Just now I was talking about Zhou Zifu, but Su Jiu'er didn't expect this matter to come to the door.

Su Jiu'er's expression gradually became serious, she looked at the housekeeper calmly, and said hesitantly, "Who died?" ”

"A girl named Sun Hua is only thirteen years old today." The housekeeper said respectfully, "I have already sent them back, saying that the county master has gone down to see the land, after all, this is about to spring ploughing, and the master should also distribute the seeds." ”

Yes?

This kind of child also needs Gu Fengguan?

Su Jiu'er felt that her head was about to get bigger, and this matter was really troublesome.

From the government to Liangzhou, it takes more than half a day to ride a horse, and more than two days if you take a carriage.

"Are the seeds ready?" Su Jiu'er looked at the housekeeper with a serious face and asked seriously.

"I prepared it according to the way it was in previous years, but I don't know if the master will make some changes." Butler Road.

The housekeeper didn't say the second half of the sentence, Su Jiu'er didn't think about it, and when she heard the housekeeper say that, Su Jiu'er suddenly remembered something.

Gu Feng pondered about growing rice in their paddy fields, but he didn't know that he asked other people's families to plant rice from time to time this year.

"I see." Su Jiu'er saw that the housekeeper looked tired, and knew that the housekeeper was also worried about the matter just now, and looked at Xiao Xia on the side, "The housekeeper has worked hard this time, twice as much this month, Xiao Xia, go and take out the Biluochun that I bought yesterday." ”

Xiao Xia is a smart person, and when she heard Su Jiu'er say this, she hurriedly answered, turned around and went into the house to get something.

The butler stood and listened, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Madame, for your kindness." ”

Su Jiu'er is not the kind of person who picks the door, now that the family's industry has begun to make money, and there are thousands of taels of silver in his hand, and occasionally rewarding his subordinates can also make them better serve themselves.

"Did the people of the Zhou family say anything this time?" Su Jiu'er's heart moved, and she asked curiously.

If the Zhou family wants to get rid of their crimes, they will naturally come to the door to get rid of the relationship.

"The Zhou family denies it now." The housekeeper looked surprised, but he didn't say anything, and replied, "I'm afraid this matter will drag on for a few months." ”

Huh?

At this time, it was Su Jiu'er's turn to be surprised, why didn't she expect that this kind of case would take so long.

"Does the housekeeper think that the murder was done by the Zhou family?" Su Jiu'er knew that the housekeeper was a good person, and it was estimated that he also knew it in his heart.

The housekeeper secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Su Jiu'er, thought about it, his lips moved, he stopped talking, lowered his head and said nothing.

Su Jiu'er was afraid that the housekeeper would have any concerns, so she smiled and said, "We are all a family, just say anything." ”

"It's hard to say." The butler's expression became more and more serious, and he coughed, "Without real credentials, no one knows what the facts are." ”

Su Jiu'er lowered her eyes slightly, what did the housekeeper mean, maybe it wasn't Zhou Zifu?

"Madam, there is someone above the Zhou family." The butler cautiously reminded.

Su Jiu'er understands now, and the housekeeper wants to say that even if it is the person killed by Zhou Zifu, it will definitely not be Zhou Zifu at that time.

Xiao Xia took out Biluochun, Su Jiu'er handed Xiao Xia a look, and Xiao Xia hurriedly gave the things to the housekeeper.

The housekeeper took Su Jiu'er's things, said a few words of flattery to Su Jiu'er, thanked the reward, and left with the things.

"No wonder the housekeeper said that the case will take several months," Su Jiu'er pursed the corners of her mouth, with a little displeasure in her eyes, "If the people above intervene, even if Zhou Zifu is guilty, he will definitely become innocent." ”

Hearing Su Jiu'er say this, Zhao also understood what the housekeeper said, and sighed a little helplessly, "Okay, don't think about it so much, just leave this matter to Gu Feng." ”

In the evening, Gu Feng hadn't come back yet, and Father Su came from outside with Su Mu.

As soon as everyone heard that Su Mu had been admitted to Tongsheng, the smile on Su Jiu'er's face was even worse, and they hurriedly praised Su Mu a few words.

Hearing that Su Mu was admitted to the Tongsheng examination, the happiest person was Zhao, and Zhao was moved and began to cry.

"Mother, why are you crying?" Su Jiu'er smiled helplessly, took a handkerchief to help Zhao wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said softly, "It's a good thing that my brother passed the exam, why are you crying?" ”

"Where am I crying?" Zhao raised his hand, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his voice choked, "I'm the sand in my eyes." ”

Su Jiu'er instructed the kitchen to cook more meals tonight to celebrate Su Mu's entrance examination.

The night was getting deeper, and the sky was getting colder.

After Su Jiu'er took a bath, she sat lazily on the edge of the bed alone, wiping her hair with a handkerchief.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock at the door from outside.

Su Jiu'er raised her eyes and looked, "Who?" ”

"Me."

Hearing Gu Feng's voice, Su Jiu'er pursed her lips and smiled, and hurriedly got up to open the door.

"Xianggong." Su Jiu'er looked at Gu Feng with a smile, and saw that he was covered in dust, and felt a little distressed, "I'm tired of traveling, I'll bring you water to wash." ”

"Yes."

There are only two maids in the family, and Su Jiu'er asked them to take care of Yangyang, because this kind of thing can only be done by herself.

The two of them washed up and lay on the bed, Su Jiu'er thought of Leng Mingyue, and her heart was a little melancholy, "Xianggong, what are you going to do with that matter?" ”

"Look at the evidence." Gu Feng said absentmindedly, thinking that the Zhou family invited him to speak at the gate of the county seat, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, "I actually returned to the county seat early, but tonight I am eating with the people of the Zhou family." ”
