Changping Street, the study in the backyard of the county government.

Shen Ye stood in front of the window with a dark face, silently looking at a white peony that was gradually withering outside the window.

On the desk behind him was an open letter, and the fiery red letter was embedded with the word "Shen".

A gust of wind blew, and a dark shadow jumped in.

Shen Ye turned to look at Shen Yun, who was standing quietly, walked to the desk and sat down, and said lightly: "Say it!" ”

"After investigation by his subordinates, the shopkeeper Wang did embezzle 20,000 taels of silver from the restaurant to pay off gambling debts." Shen Yun said seriously, "But he only owes three hundred taels to the gambling house, and forty thousand taels is the extra interest out of thin air." ”

Shen Ye nodded silently.

"There was a chef Su in the restaurant before, who was in charge of the kitchen affairs. Master Lin is an old acquaintance of the shopkeeper Wang, and after entering the Nanjia Restaurant by relying on his relationship, he conspired with the shopkeeper Wang to share the profits, but was bumped into by Master Su, and the two were afraid that the matter would be leaked, so they found a reason to drive Master Su out of the restaurant. Shen Yun said.

Shen Ye frowned and said, "Does that Master Su have anything to do with the Su family?" ”

Shen Yun shook his head, "It's not a relative. Old friends, perhaps. He continued: "Master Lin was afraid that Master Su would go to Miss Xu, so he went to poison him late at night. The Su family thought that Master Su had died of a violent illness, so they did not report to the official. ”

"What is Master Lin's background?" Shen Ye almost subconsciously judged that this person must not be the first time to kill.

"Master Lin's real name is Tashi Ji, he has no family and lives with his buddy in the backyard of the restaurant." Shen Yun said, "According to the people in the room, I often see him going out in the middle of the night. I don't know exactly what I do. My lord, my subordinates will need some time to inquire in detail. ”

Shen Ye nodded, and it was not easy to inquire about these things for a long time.

Shen Yun saw the envelope on the table and asked, "But there is news from Xingyuan Mansion?" ”

"It's just that my father wants to close the net." Shen Ye said indifferently, "The bloody rain and bloody wind can't blow from Meizhou." ”

Shen Yun was silent.

At the trial the next day, Shen Ye sat upright, and Xu Fu, the lawyer and housekeeper invited by the Xu Mansion, stood in the hall, and he didn't see the tall and beautiful figure of yesterday.

"Take the suspect!" Shen Ye said in a deep voice.

After a while, the official brought the shopkeeper Wang and Master Lin up.

After a fierce interrogation, the human and material evidence was complete, the Wang shopkeeper confessed that the account book was fake, embezzled 30,000 yuan of silver, and Master Lin shared 10,000 yuan.

Tashi Ji confessed to poisoning Master Su and pleaded guilty to the law. Shopkeeper Wang was shocked to hear that Master Su had been killed, and he trembled.

The facts of the case are revealed, and everyone is wise and wise.

Shen Ye looked at the calm and unique face of the Hu people in the hall, and his eyes were dark and uncertain.

Xiping Street, Xufu.

Xu Qinghe finished lunch and was eating in the yard, Xu Yao ran in panting, her little face was rosy and shiny with excitement, "Miss! Miss! The case is decided! ”

Xu Qinghe stretched out his arms and kicked his legs, and said slowly: "Thirty thousand taels of silver have you recovered?" ”

"Nope." Xu Yao was stunned and replied.

"So what are you excited about!" Xu Qinghe said and continued to eat.

Xu Yao hurriedly said: "I haven't recovered it now, but Lord Shen has already taken someone to seal up the Xinglong Gambling House, and within a few days, he will definitely return 30,000 taels of silver." ”

Xu Qinghe became a little interested and asked, "The county lord wants to seize the Xinglong Gambling House?" ”

Just rely on the usurious debts owed by the king's shopkeeper to seize the gambling house? Such a fuss, there must be an article inside.

In the past few years, it was also revealed that the gambling house had usurious debts, and the county respected a few principals, and they were punished with a cane, but now they are seized!

I heard that the person behind the Xinglong Gambling House is a high-ranking official in Xingyuan Mansion......

Xu Yao nodded vigorously, "How many people have been ruined by the gambling house, it should have been closed a long time ago." ”

"Then how did Shopkeeper Wang and Master Lin judge?" Xu Qinghe asked. The little girl's angry appearance was very similar to when she was young.

Xu Yao replied: "The shopkeeper Wang was beaten with fifty strokes and exiled to Wenzhou. Master Lin was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn. When the little girl thought of the scene of the beheading, she couldn't help but shrink and tremble.

"The verdict is just. I just don't know if I can recover my 30,000 taels of silver. Xu Qinghe said wistfully.

The afternoon sun was hot, Xu Qinghe felt much more relaxed in his abdomen, so he walked briskly to the shade of the tree, lay comfortably on the rocking chair, his index finger tapped lightly on the tip of his nose, and his eyes looked at the clouds in a corner of the sky.

Seeing this, Xu Yao knew that the young lady was thinking deeply, so she quietly stood aside.

It is true that the business of Dongyue Restaurant is prosperous, and the hired juniors are not 100 or 50, and everyone is so busy that their feet do not touch the ground. But the food is still served extremely slowly, and most of the little two are trying to appease the diners.

It's the chef who is the key.

Wang Yuan, the chef of Dongyue Restaurant, came from Xingyuan, and his cooking skills are higher than those of local chefs in Meizhou. But it's hard to support alone, and the diners are all going to the celebrity chef, so they naturally name the chef in charge.

Even if the food is served slowly, the diners will complain at most, but the next time I will go to Dongyue Restaurant.

Nanjia does not have a celebrity chef.

Xu Qinghe frowned, his fingers tapping quickly.

Painters and celebrity chefs are all hard to find.

"Miss, are you still going to Su Mansion today?" Xu Yao asked. She looked at the tip of the young lady's red nose, and couldn't bear it to continue to be ravaged.

Xu Qinghe sighed, the coming day is long, and wait for her to plan slowly. Looking at the sky, he nodded, "Pack up and go over." ”

Anping Street, Su Province.

Li Bozhou and his wife went to Su Mansion at the end of the day, accompanied Su Zhe to have morning food, and the family got together to chat.

It is nothing more than Su Zhe telling his son-in-law over and over again how to take care of his only daughter after marriage, and the husband and wife should get along harmoniously. Li Bozhou listened attentively and kept promising that he would treat his wife well.

Su Jingshu sat aside, looking at her aging father, coughing a few times from time to time, and kept chattering softly, feeling sour in her heart.

Su Zhe was tired of speaking, waved his hand and said, "It's hard for you to listen to me patiently for half a day." I'm tired of it myself, let Jingshu take you to the garden for a walk, although it is not as spacious as the Li Mansion, it also has a different view. As he spoke, he slowly returned to the inner courtyard with the support of the maid.

Li Bozhou looked at his wife's eyes moist, and hurriedly shook his hand and said, "What's wrong?" Why are you crying now when you came with a smile on your face? ”

Su Jingshu gently leaned on her husband's chest and said in a low voice, "Father's health is getting worse and worse. Husband, I'm so uncomfortable. Ah Jin hasn't grown up yet, what will the family do in the future......"

Li Bozhou hugged her tightly and comforted: "There is a husband in everything, Ah Shu doesn't have to think so much." In the future, we will wait for my father together and take care of Su Jin together. ”

When Su Jingshu's mind calmed down, Li Bozhou asked with a smile, "Can you go to the garden now?" I want to see where you once lived. ”

Su Jingshu nodded shyly and took Li Bozhou to the small garden.

The two walked together, whispering a few words from time to time, and the love and sweetness of the newlywed made the small garden that they had been accustomed to seeing for more than ten years become interesting.
