Chapter 179: Speak!
In the evening, after a hearty dinner, the family went for a walk in the garden, it was very cold, but the children were dressed a lot, very thick, and ran around the husband and wife. I thought that Mingqian would be annoyed, but I didn't expect that he could let go of the pressure at work and play well with the children.
"Do you have to work overtime later?" Pearl asked, in a very small voice, not wanting the children to hear it,
Mingqian didn't look at the pearl, continued to smile at his son, watched them play games, and replied, "I can't sleep anyway, it's better to take a good look at the case file." ”
"Hmm!"
That night, I don't know when this guy came back, the next morning, I got up very early, and Pearl didn't take it seriously, but when I heard the commotion in front of me, I sent someone to take a look, and Qingfeng came back and said that it was not a big deal, because it was the New Year, and there was a big sacrifice, so all the butchers were called.
Pearl asked about the sacrifice again, and when she heard that preparations had begun in the yamen, she thought to herself how she would spend this year. If you are far away, just let the Zhuangzi in the capital do it well. Of course, they will also ask the Zhuangzi in the capital to send more vegetables and fruits, and use their carriage to load vegetables and fruits, which can absorb shocks and be very fast. Now there is no space, and the vegetables and fruits at home are quickly eaten.
However, there are also people who need to go here. For example, Zhou Teng's house, the hostess of their house has already come. Pearl hadn't been to their house, though. And then there's the local squire. These people will give gifts during the New Year, and some people have already sent them. Pearls have to be returned as well.
The next day. I heard that all the butchers came, but because there were other things in the yamen, it was a little late, so they asked them to leave all the pig-killing knives and let everyone go back. Pearl thinks it's not that simple! When Mingqian came back in the evening, and there were only two people left, Pearl asked,
"Why the butcher? Do you think it's the butcher who kills people? ”
Ming Qian nodded and said, "The murder weapon is the pig killing knife." ”
Pearl was puzzled. "You can't confirm whose it is, right? Let's talk about these butchers. Can you easily correct a person? Besides, what if this person has already escaped? ”
Ming Qian looked at the pearl and said, "It's possible. So...... Tomorrow some are busy. ”
Pearl wanted to ask again. It's a pity that Ming Qian deliberately didn't say it. Whetted the appetite of the pearl, what else to say, you will know when the time comes.
The next day. I heard Mingyue come back and say that the rich man had confessed and was sentenced to death. Pearl was startled when she heard the news. The news she got was that one of the butchers she found was indeed absent, and I heard that Ming Qian also sent someone to arrest him, but the person had already run away, why did he say that he was convicted of the rich family today?
When Mingqian came back in the evening, Pearl hurriedly asked, "Are you really convicted of that rich man?" ”
"Hmm!"
"Are you sure?" His own husband is also a guy who cares about people's lives in order to complete his performance? Pearl looked at him in disbelief.
Ming Qian saw that the lady had obviously misunderstood, but it was not good to leak the news, and said, "Don't you believe me?" ”
"I'll keep an eye on it." Pearl said coldly, the atmosphere was a little stiff,
Ming Qian was angry at this time, he believed in the lady in everything, why didn't the lady believe in him? This must be bullying herself for being younger than her.
In fact, it's no wonder that Pearl thinks like this, how many people in the world can hold their hearts? Pearl was worried that Mingqian would close the case hastily. If he really knew that it was wrong, he would be judged like this, and Pearl didn't know what to do at that time.
The husband and wife are caught in a cold war. At night, Ming Qian, who could have been in the front hall, just felt uncomfortable in his heart, as if he had to see the pearl to feel at ease.
Within a few days, I heard that the verdict had been handed down, and early in the morning a death row prisoner was proposed, and notices were posted in the streets and alleys, and the person who killed the Wang family had been caught, and in the evening of the same day, the death row prisoner was beheaded. This news is like having wings, almost everyone in the county knows about it, you know, the atmosphere is still very good at this time, not to mention not closing the house at night! There were still very few murders in Dazheng County, so everyone was very concerned about this matter, and the real murderer who escaped also came back, and as soon as he arrived at home, he was arrested by the officials who were ambushed nearby.
It turned out that Wang was waiting for the handsome boy with the door open, but he didn't want a thief to come, and when Wang saw a figure floating in, he thought it was the handsome boy who came, and hurriedly met him, and the thief saw someone rushing out of the house, drew his knife and stabbed him, and threw it down to escape. It didn't take long for the handsome boy to meet the Wang family, in the night, he stepped into a pool of blood, 'snapped' and slid to the ground, he reached out and touched the corpse, and immediately frightened his soul scattered, and ran away, but he didn't expect to be caught.
Now that the truth is revealed, the handsome son was sentenced by Ming Qian to the crime of trespassing on a private house and was beaten to the board. The murderer is punished. It turned out that Ming Qian used a stratagem to trick the gangster back.
Pearl understood the truth, and felt very sorry in his heart, he shouldn't be angry with Mingqian, and when Mingqian came back to eat at noon, Pearl made a table of good food and good dishes, and it was a picket of vegetables, and it was pouring tea, and he waited diligently, and said to Mingqian,
"Husband, it's all my fault, it's my fault, I shouldn't doubt you, but forgive me for the sake of my first offense, husband, forgive me!"
Pearl's low and small made Ming Qian's anger disappear, but it was rare to be held by Pearl like this, and he still planned to cool her more. said with a cold face, "Do you know it's wrong? ”
"Got it, got it!" It turned out to be the parrot in the hall talking, the atmosphere suddenly eased up, Pearl didn't dare to laugh if he wanted to, Mingqian was also angry, these two guys, usually let them say a word, it's hard to say, but now it's refreshing, it should be killed!
Ming Qian glared at Pearl and said, "I'll see how you behave, by the way, my purse is old." ”
"Yes, I'll embroider a few beautiful ones for you right away, let's change the belt." Pearl replied immediately,
"I want to eat fish, I want to boil fish." Ming Qian continued,
"Okay, I'll eat this at night, I'll do it myself."
"You're on it today."
"Okay, I'll ...... today" Halfway through the words, he understood what Ming Qian was talking about, turned his head and entered the inner room, leaving Ming Qian with a smile on his face teasing the two parrots.
"Speak!"
The parrot followed, "Speak! ”
Ming Qian was angry, "Stupid! ”
"Get out!"
Mingqian: ......
Recently, Pearl is very unhappy about rolling the sheets, no way, this time she found out that if she fled with a large family, it would be hard work! I have to give birth to a few. But this time I seem to be annoyed by a serious mistake, although Pearl is very, very disdainful of using such a thing to ask for forgiveness, but, I have to admit that the one in their family is good at this, and this can be solved as soon as possible by asking for forgiveness, alas!
After the last war, although there was no loss in the county, but some of the villages under Dazheng County were patronized by thieves, and now the war has subsided, but there is no money left at home for a long time, and there is that Mingqian does not want to send disaster relief funds like this, because if this time it is handled like this, the people are afraid that no one will resist next time.
Later, Pearl gave an idea, let the villages under Dazheng County make lanterns, Dazheng County to carry out lantern competitions, the prize money is more generous, the first prize is 200 taels of silver, a set of red gold jewelry, the second prize is 100 taels of silver, a pair of gold hairpins. The third prize is 50 taels of silver and a pair of silver bracelets. The fourth prize is 20 taels of silver, a silver hairpin, and the fifth prize is ten taels of silver, a pair of silver earrings.
This is nothing, Pearl called two opera troupes from Zhuozhou Mansion and Zhangzhou Mansion to sing big operas from the morning, and invited jugglers and so on. Notices were posted in Zhangzhou and Zhuozhou to inform them that they were going to hold a lantern festival here during the Lantern Festival. The two boards that sang the opposite drama came because of the reputation of the Sixi class, and they all knew very well that this Mrs. Ming single-handedly trained the Sixi class. Pearl told them when she invited them, and asked them to play two new plays, and the plays of the two teams in Zhuozhou and Zhangzhou must be different.
Before starting, Pearl asked Yingying and Lan Lan to teach them a new play, and on the other hand, like various villages, they issued notices that Dazheng County was going to build roads, and each person would be given three meals a day, and 100 wen would be given, and if they brought livestock to help, they would be given an extra 50 wen a day, and they would also be responsible for forage.
Although it was already about to be the New Year, and everyone didn't want to go out, the notice also said that one would definitely send a carriage to everyone home the day before the Chinese New Year's Eve, and continue to work after the third year of junior high school. This time it's also for road repair. One is the road from Zhuozhou Wharf to their Dazheng County, and the rest are the roads from the county to the ten towns below. If there is enough manpower, it is also possible to build the road in the town all the way to the village, and the court will give the materials.
There is an order from above, and you have to work hard at the bottom, but fortunately, Pearl is a person who can be a person, and the mayor's wife and mother of ten towns are all invited to the county seat, and they are invited to eat a meal of Buddha jumping over the wall, as well as all kinds of fresh vegetables, beautiful and delicious snacks. These ladies didn't dare not come to the invitation of Pearl, firstly, because Pearl was the lady of the county order, and the county order could be said to have the power of life and death. Of course, this refers to those who are unkind to the rich. Second, it is because the pearl's sassy and heroic appearance on the battlefield has long been spread in several nearby state capitals and counties, Mrs. Ming is not only a heroine, but also a virtuous helper of Lord Ming, and she is also dedicated to treating and assisting the wounded soldiers, settling the family, and is a merciful person, if you don't make friends with Mrs. Ming, you are the enemy of all the people, so there is no one who can't come, you have to come with a breath, no, the mother of Zhu Changrong, the mayor of Yongxing Town, has been in poor health, and this time she also came, and there are a few old people, who also came from afar.
