Ziyu looked at the bewitching woman who was pressed, it seemed a little familiar, and after thinking for a long time, she remembered, isn't this the one who has been begging to be a cook?

Even if you don't want someone to be a cook, you don't have to hold someone down, right?

Ziyu asked suspiciously, "Was this person stealing something and letting Yin'er catch it?" ”

Hua Wei smiled and shook her head: "Ziyu, you take her to the front hall, put on a few boards, and you will understand!" ”

After all, Ziyu is a dignified court official, and he can't arrest people and beat them first for no reason, but he still got the bewitching woman to the front hall.

The official threw the bewitching mother-in-law into the hall, and there was no need to beat it, and the mother-in-law recruited herself.

In the evening, the bewitching woman was no longer charming, unkempt, sloppy, and crawled out of the county office.

She was beaten with fifty boards after recruiting, Zi Yu remembered that she was a few years old, so she showed mercy, and it was already a fate to be able to withstand fifty boards.

When it was dark, the Tang family, who was also unkempt and in tatters, and her maid were also thrown out of the county office.

Hua Cry's guess was right, it was Tang's, the motives were clear, dark and vicious, but it was a pity that Tang's was too untechnical, so she was so easy to find out, it was boring.

On the day when Myeonghyun came to the county government to find Ziyu to discuss the land deed of the two Chuankou, Ziyu talked to Hua Wai about the life-long events of the two of them in the front hall, sprinkled a piece of dog food, and let a maid who happened to pass by the side door at the back listen.

This servant is Tang's servant, Tang happened to be angry with An's palm that day, full of resentment, as soon as he heard Hua Cry and Ziyu talking about marriage in the front hall, he lost his mind, and asked the maid to go outside to buy poison, the maid was afraid, and he didn't dare to go in to buy it for a long time at the door of the pharmacy, for fear of being caught red-handed and reported to the official, and wandered around the street, which happened to let the bewitching woman bump into him.

This bewitching mother-in-law usually takes the crooked road to make money, seeing that the maid is preoccupied, she is very kind to ask but what is difficult, the maid feels that she and this mother-in-law do not know each other, and there is no need to take precautions, and she tells her mother-in-law that she wants to buy poison, and the mother-in-law laughs non-stop, so she has the courage to learn that others poison people, which is too useless.

The mother-in-law immediately asked the maid how much silver she was willing to give, and she went to buy it, and the maid took out one or two pieces of silver given by the Tang family, and the mother-in-law's eyes lit up, and told the maid to come back to this place later to pick up the goods.

When the maid returned there at the appointed hour, the mother-in-law really waited there, blocked it with wide sleeves, and mysteriously gave the maid a bottle, which was the poison in the mother-in-law's mouth.

This poison was not bought by the mother-in-law in the pharmacy, first, she was extravagant and didn't want to spend money, and second, she didn't dare, the pharmacy sold things like arsenic, and she was willing to sell it only after asking the eight generations of her ancestors clearly, if the mother-in-law went, maybe she would be arrested by the official.

But this kind of thing that can eat dead people is everywhere, next to the ditch on the side of the big road outside the city, there are occasionally a few wild mountain eggplants, and the mother-in-law has lived this age, so she naturally understands that this thing is more effective than arsenic, and it can be poisoned to death if it is kept, and it can be poisonous if it is not poisoned.

If you want the other party to die faster, put half a bottle and kill in one mouthful, if you want people to be poisoned unconsciously, drop a small drop, take a bowl of water and spread it, and then scoop two spoons from the bowl into the meal, so that it will not be poisoned immediately.

After the maid brought the poison back, Tang asked her to start acting, often going to the kitchen, taking advantage of the cook's busyness, she took the poison for more than half a month, and no one found out until Hua Weeping felt dizzy.

Hua Weeping ate the poison herself, accelerated the poison, and the entire back house was locked up from top to bottom, so Ziyu had to ask the official to go to the street to post a notice to recruit the cook.

The bewitching woman also saw it, her neighbor entered the county government as a cook, and often met when she came home after being busy at night, and told the enchanting woman that her salary was one or two silver, and the bewitching woman didn't believe it, so the neighbor had to tell what happened in the county government, so that she could have such good luck, if it wasn't for the county government being eager to invite the cook, it would not be possible to have such a high salary.

The bewitching woman understood, and her poison was sold to the people in the county government's house.

repeatedly begged the neighbor to take her into the county office, and found the county magistrate to say that she was also going to be a cook, the neighbor was annoyed and helpless, so he had to lead her in from the back door a few times, when Ziyu went to the back kitchen to serve food to Hua Wee, I heard that the charming woman also wanted to be a cook, frowned, and felt that she was not suitable to refuse.

The bewitching woman often sneaks in through the back door to find her neighbor.

She didn't really want to be a cook, but she wanted to find a maid who bought her poison, and wanted to knock her off.

As long as she threatens that if the maid does not give her the money, she will go to report it to the official, and she will be able to make people obediently take the money to eliminate the disaster.

It's just that she came many times, because the people in the back house were imprisoned, she didn't see anyone, so she took advantage of no one to secretly look for it in the backyard one by one, originally thought that the master who bought her poison must live in the main house, so she came to the window of the flower crying paper, wandered for a while and left, she vaguely felt that there were people in the house, and she didn't dare to go in and see it at will, in case the people inside were not the master of the maid who bought her poison, she would be difficult to get out, fortunately, there was no one in the back house now, she hesitated for a while and hurried away.

Go back and think about it, no, such a good opportunity, don't knock on the maid, there is no store in this village, after noon, the bewitching woman slipped into the kitchen from the back door to find her neighbor, I want to ask, which house is where the master lives, I don't want to enter the kitchen door, I will be caught by Hua Cry.

The mother-in-law was originally for money, but she was thrown into the hall by the officials, for fear that she would lose her old life, and before Ziyu could speak, she recruited everything.

I wanted to give this mother-in-law according to the law, read her age, where she went, she would definitely die, so she simply let her receive fifty boards, if she could persevere, even if she died, the mother-in-law was beaten and really didn't die, and crawled away.

The maid identified by the mother-in-law was Tang's maidservant, and she began to return it to Tang, but she did it alone and had nothing to do with Tang.

Ziyu knew in his heart that it must be the Tang family who gave the maid the silver to send back to her hometown for settlement, so that she could come out to carry the bag, the master book took the statutes, and read aloud, if the unknown silver was found in the maid's hometown, the whole family would send it to the official, and the maid would tremble and admit that it was Tang's instructions.

Tang knew that Ziyu would not tolerate her, and he was unwilling to speak up from beginning to end.

The master and servant were beaten with eighty boards, thrown out of the county office, and left her to fend for herself, and at the same time threw out a letter of resignation.

Even if his subordinates were merciful, fortunately, Hua Weeping was fine, otherwise Tang would have been murdered and would have paid for his life.

Tang's maiden family in Ningyang City, Ziyu also sent someone to inform him that from now on, whether she lived or died, had nothing to do with him.

The people in the back house were all released, and everyone returned to everyone, and no one dared to mention it, and no one wanted to cause trouble again.

Sure enough, as Hua Weeping thought, the back house was really peaceful.

An is very grateful that Hua Cry did not fall into the well, if Hua Cry forcibly pressed this crime on her, she would only have to bear the injustice, so she was released, and immediately came to serve in front of Hua Cry.

When there are people, Hua Cry always has to pretend, making people feel that her illness is not completely cured, but it is almost there, and there is a process at all, and An's is even more dedicated to serving, for fear that Hua Cry will be unhappy, and she will be in trouble one day.

She went from resentment and crying at the beginning, to now she is only afraid, which is the test of life and death, and she can't help but accept it.

As long as Hua Wei can tolerate her, in this back house, it is really nothing if she is not the main mother, what the master mother, what the husband admits is Allah's mother, even if Hua Wei and Ziyu are really round, she does not dare to do more of him now.

......

The day is getting colder, and on the fifth day of the first month of November, the winter solstice, Youwen is back.

This trip sent him to Dongping with ten people to buy cattle, walked for more than a month, and drove back 1,500 cattle, it is said that the cattle dealers of Dongping also helped to send them to Liangchuankou, and now they are on the outskirts of the city to be guarded by a group of officials.

Youwen was a lot, when Hua Wai saw Youwen with a frosty face, Zhidao never let him go again, and drove Ming'er to send someone else, but Youwen smirked, Dao still sent him better, he walked once, and he was familiar with the road.

Hua Wai got permission from Ziyu and went to the outskirts of the city to see the more than 1,000 cows.

Ziyu helped Hua Cry get down from the carriage, Hua Cry looked at the black and yellow cows grazing with their heads down, and was excited, and jumped and ran over.

Ziyu hurriedly arrested her back.

"Yin'er, have you forgotten that you're still sick?" Ziyu pretended to be angry.

"Huh? yes, I'm sick. "Hua Wei really forgot just now, but fortunately, Ziyu knows her temperament, and she doesn't care about it.

I had to change to a sick pace, and cautiously approached a cow, not daring to go too deep into the herd, for fear that if the cow was frightened, it would trample her flattened.

On such a cold day, there is still relatively little green grass, only in the wetlands near the river, there are still some tenacious green, and there is no water on the side, which has long withered and yellowed, but the cattle are not picky eaters, even hay, they can eat it, and let the officials go to the countryside to collect dry straw, in addition, there is nothing else to give these cattle to eat.

What is eaten is grass, what is squeezed out is milk, it is not about them, these are just ordinary cattle on the farmland, some of the fur is darker, dark to black, it is also called a cattle.

These cattle are cheap, in Dongping country, one tael of silver can buy two sturdy cows, bulls are even cheaper, three hundred and fifty hundred copper each, I don't know how cheap those cattle dealers in Dongping country were when they came from the northern country.

The county is very good at choosing land, this place, there is a small river through, the water and grass are abundant, the opposite bank is a hillside, cattle can also go up, as long as the surrounding fence is fenced, the cattle will not be lost in it, the officials guard in shifts, and no thief dares to steal cattle.

You Wenjing, it is worthy of coming out of Taoyuan Village, knowing that you can't buy too many bulls when buying cows, and send them to each township and pavilion in the future, and there can only be one bull in each village, and the rest are full-haired cows.

Why? There are two bulls in a village, and when they meet, they will fight each other, and then the one who loses will be pushed down from the mountain, break the bones, and finally have to slaughter and eat meat alive in the mountains.

The cow is not completely insured, and if a pregnant cow cub is cold, it will be offered like a mother, and it can't go to the ground, so there are few bulls, and the cow is controlled and the cow is also well known, and the queue is in turn.

Hua Weeping looked at the herd of cattle beautifully, and decided to send them to some villages in a few days, so that the farmers could go to the mountains to reclaim the barren land and graze the cattle themselves, so as to reduce the burden on the county government.
