Han Mu looked at the books she was flipping back and forth, and said, "I'll take you to buy books in a while." ”

He said, "We came out in a hurry, and you didn't even bring a few books. ”

Gu Junruo looked up at him, "You send me?" ”

He still has the money to buy books, Han Mu nodded, "I'll give it to you." ”

Gu Junruo curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Okay." ”

Han Mu looked at the smile on her face, swallowed his saliva, and when she left, he rummaged through the cabinets to find it.

Seeing this, Xiaobei, who brought water to refreshed him, hurriedly asked, "Erlang, what are you looking for?" ”

"Money, where did you collect the money sent from home?"

Xiaobei took out a box under a cage and glanced out, "Didn't you say that this money should be saved and only reserved for the critical moment?" Why is it used here? ”

The money brought by He Ziyou, Han Mu was very loose, part of it was "lent" to the county government, and the rest was given to Gu Junruo to manage, which was considered a family.

The contents of the box were secretly hidden by them, just in case they needed them in the future.

In Han Mu's words, you can't let your wife worry about raising your family, before letting your wife show herself, Han Mu was blushing and uncomfortable for a while.

Han Mu took out two ingots of silver in the box and stuffed them into his arms, "I'm useful, put away the rest, save a little use." ”

Xiaobei: "...... Erlang, do you remember that when you were in Gangneung Mansion, you once borrowed a small ingot of silver from me. ”

Han Mu: "Remember, I'll pay you back when I return to the capital." ”

Xiaobei: "I have to go back to the capital, now ......"

Han Mu closed the box and cut off his gaze, "There is no money now, this money is prepared for urgent use." ”

After a pause, he said: "Actually, you don't necessarily need to wait until you return to Beijing, isn't Jiang Huai going to send disaster relief food and disaster relief money, then our county government will have money, and the money I lent to the county government before should be able to be returned." ”

Xiaobei couldn't help but remind: "Erlang, the county government still owes the Yue family money." ”

Han Mu: ...... If you don't mention him, you're about to forget, so Yixian is still very poor.

Han Mu just thought about it, and after a while, he put this question behind him.

He patted his chest and said: "What does it matter to me that Yixian is poor, as long as I have money, anyway, I will not lend money to the county government in the future." ”

Xiaobei didn't listen to this, Han Mu said that he was not the county magistrate of Yi County before, but now he is not happy, and he also invested most of his net worth.

Han Mu wiped his face and neck, and went to Gu Junruo in high spirits, he glanced at the steamed buns and porridge on the table with disgust, and waved his hand: "We don't eat at home, go out to eat!" ”

Gu Junruo knew that he had taken the private money, and couldn't help but smile and said: "It's all done, don't waste it, and most of the things that can be eaten outside at this time are steamed buns and porridge, which is not much different from the ones at home." ”

Gu Junruo gave him a bowl of porridge, "Let's eat, let's go to interrogate Chen Shi first, and then go to Zhang's house to have a look, and then go to the bookstore when we come back." ”

"Okay."

Chen Shi was still in prison at this time.

Of the three most suspicious people, two ran away, and he was left alone, although there was no evidence to prove that he was involved, but County Lieutenant Xue was unwilling to let him go just like that.

Because the biggest suspicion of Ma Shuifeng and Zhang Yuan is that they ran away, and in fact there is no evidence of committing the crime, it is all based on their confessions.

Gu Junruo went to the depths of the prison with Han Mu and said: "My grandfather once said that the reason why unjust, false and wrongful cases occur when a magistrate decides a case is mostly due to subjective arbitrariness, so when a magistrate decides a case, he must pay attention to empirical evidence. ”

Han Mu: "But Ma Shuifeng and Zhang Yuan both ran away, and the Chen family was burned to ruins, and there is no empirical evidence at all." ”

"If there is no evidence, I would rather let him go than wronged someone," Gu Junruo said: "Ma Shuifeng and Zhang Yuan can be wanted, and they will be interrogated after they are arrested, but for Chen Shi, although I am very suspicious of him, if I can't find evidence, then I would rather let him go than wronged people." ”

Han Mu frowned and nodded, "Okay, let's see if he is willing to admit first." ”

Chen Shi naturally refused, he insisted: "I didn't know why I slept soundly that day, I really didn't hear any movement. ”

He wiped his tears and said: "My lord, I have followed the master since I was a child, and it is impossible to hurt the master, please return my innocence." ”

Gu Junruo looked at him and asked, "Tell me about your neighbor Zhang Yuan." ”

Chen Shidao: "Master Zhang is righteous, but his temper is a little big, but he has a good relationship with my master, and often drinks and paints together, so when the flood occurs, Master Zhang and my master borrow money to buy food, and my lord should take a bite, and he also saves money to eat, just to save excess food and silver money to Master Zhang." ”

"Listen to what you mean, the Zhang family is not poor, why do you need to borrow so much money and food from Mr. Chen?"

"My lord is one person who eats enough for the whole family and does not have to worry, plus some savings, so his hands are loose, and Master Zhang actually has a lot of family assets, but his family has a child, and the Yue family wants to help, so it is more difficult."

Gu Junruo: "What is the relationship between Zhang Yuan and Mr. Chen?" ”

"Excellent," Chen Shi said: "My husband has helped a lot of people, but he has helped Master Zhang the most, because they have the best relationship." ”

"Apart from Zhang Yuan, who else has the best relationship with Mr. Chen?"

"Except for Master Zhang, that's Master Luo."

Gu Junruo lowered his eyes and said, "Sect Luo? ”

"Yes, it's Luo's message."

Gu Junruo glanced at Han Mu, nodded slightly, and left.

Han Mu glanced at Chen Shi, left with Gu Junruo, and when he arrived outside the cell, his brows furrowed slightly, "For some reason, I always feel that he didn't tell the truth." ”

"Let's go to Zhang's house to have a look."

The door of Zhang's house was open, and the voice of scolding children was coming from inside, "I only know how to play all day, you haven't read for a long time, why don't you pick up the book quickly......"

"I don't want this book, I want to buy a new one!"

"Where did you get the money to buy a new one, this is what your father specially copied for you......"

"It's because he copied it that I don't want it, he's a bad person!"

With a "snap", Zhang Mengshi slapped the child hard, and after the beating, he was still angry, and he pulled someone's arm and hit him on the buttocks, crying while beating: "I called you nonsense, I called you nonsense, your father is not a bad person, it was all spread outside, he didn't kill anyone!" ”

She glared at the child's eyes vigorously and said, "Even if others don't believe in your father, don't you believe him either?" ”

The little boy cried worse than her, and shouted: "The county government said that it was him, and someone else saw him in the suburbs, and he escaped because he killed Uncle Chen." ”

"Shut up! No, your father doesn't even dare to kill chickens, so how can he kill people? Zhang Mengshi said toughly: "The next time someone says this, you come back and tell me, I tore his mouth." ”

Gu Junruo knocked on the door, interrupting the conversation between the mother and son.

Zhang Mengshi raised her head with red eyes and looked over, and when she saw the servants following behind the two of them, her face changed slightly, and she hurriedly pulled the child behind her and looked at them nervously.
