"Under ...... Under is the bookkeeper. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Fan Yuncheng said nonsense.

"Oh, I thought it was ......" Ling Xiao paused and didn't say any more.

"I encountered a strange thing recently," Fan Yuncheng looked at Ling Xiao's clear eyes, his heart beating wildly, "Can I ask you." ”

"Cheng Gongzi is polite, I wonder if it has anything to do with medicinal herbs?" Ling Xiao was silent for a moment before slowly answering his question.

"It has nothing to do with medicinal materials, the treasurer of Fuzhong suspects that someone has recently stolen the silver taels from the treasury, and some of the silver taels have been replaced, but I don't know the modus operandi and how to identify whether the silver taels were stolen. Fan Yuncheng finished speaking in one breath, his breath was a little short, his eyes were staring at Ling Xiao, and Ling Xiao in front of him frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Miss Ling Xiao, are you listening to me?" Fan Yuncheng asked softly.

"Ah?!What did Childe just say?" Ling Xiao's gaze was a little dazed.

"It's a matter of how to identify the authenticity of silver. ”

Ling Xiao looked down at the bucket that was already empty, and was silent for a long time before raising his head: "Can Cheng Gongzi go and help me get the bucket of water?"

"Ahh He looked at Ling Xiao in front of him, but he couldn't say anything if he refused.

"It's okay, seeing that you are a weak scholar, it is difficult for you to do this. Ling Xiao saw his embarrassment, and couldn't help but smile slightly, she took out the water scoop in the bucket and handed it to him, "I'll lend it to you first." ”

"Lend, lend me?" Fan Yuncheng looked at the ordinary water scoop in surprise, only Ling Xiao's slight smile in his eyes, and he forgot everything else.

"Cheng Gongzi may fill a bowl with water, put the silver ingot in the water, and there will be water overflowing. Ling Xiao took the water scoop back.

"Of course this ......"

"This method can be used when the child is identified, and the real silver ingot and the fake silver ingot, due to the different materials used, the amount of water that overflows when placed in the bowl must be different......"

"Wonderful, then the fake silver ingots can be identified. Fan Yuncheng was excited, and the mystery that had haunted his heart for many days was as clear as the clouds saw the sun.

"Cheng Gongzi is so smart. Ling Xiao smiled slightly, "It seems that Childe will be able to solve this strange case, Childe...... If there is nothing else, then Ling Xiao will leave. ”

"Thank you, girl!" Fan Yuncheng couldn't stop talking.

“...... Cheng Gongzi, Ling Xiao is already married. A trace of bitterness rose at the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth, "The word girl is no longer suitable for me." ”

When Fan Yuncheng heard this, he was like pouring a scoop of cold water on his head, he straightened up and looked at Ling Xiao in front of him, Ling Xiao lowered his head and re-shouldered the burden, and slowly left.

Only then did Fan Yuncheng realize that his gaffe just now was because of the woman in front of him who was gradually moving away, and she was the only one who made her feel excited. I'm married too, Ling Xiao, he closed his eyes and remembered the unbearable scene he saw, the Zhang Qifeng grinding with other men.

Why can't I marry a woman like you? Why should I marry a woman I don't like? He stood there, his heart full of that intelligent and delicate Lingxiao.

When he returned to the mansion, the scholar Fan Fu was putting his baggage in his room. Every few days, Fan Fu brought some change of clothes from home, and he never disdained the clothes made by Qifeng, he was still wearing the old clothes made for him by his mother and nurse. Although others don't live at home, they still follow the rules and regulations to ask for peace three times a day, which Fan Zhen can only accept helplessly. The only consolation he had was that his newlywed wife was so clever that every time he went to greet his parents, she avoided him, which made him somewhat relieved.

"Young master, my lord asked me to bring you a few books, saying that you want them these days. Fan Fu remembered the book in the baggage, and hurriedly opened it and took it out.

"Put it on the table, and tell the young lady in the future, don't make me any more clothes and shoes, my clothes are enough to wear." He didn't look at the clothes in his baggage, but reached out and dusted off his body.

"Young master, you don't go home, and you don't see this newlywed lady. Those of us who are below it can't stand it anymore. Fan Fu thought of the young lady who kept the empty room alone every day, and couldn't help but pout. He is just a subordinate who serves his master, it is said that he should not talk too much about such things, and during this period of time of getting along, he found that the young lady is a good woman who is well-informed, gentle and kind. It's just that he has no way of knowing what is going on between his masters.

"Don't mention her in front of me in the future. Fan Yuncheng frowned, he didn't want to see that woman again, he could delay it for a while.

"Oh......" Fan Fu replied reluctantly.

"Take the clothes away and tell her not to make any more clothes for me in the future. He pointed to the burden and said to Fan Fu.

Fan Fu picked up the burden and returned to the mansion dissatisfied, he didn't dare to tell Master Fan, but secretly found the young lady's personal maid Xing'er and stuffed the burden to her. Before Xing'er could walk away, she grabbed him from behind and stuffed the burden back with him: "Why doesn't the young master want the clothes made by Madame?"

"The young master said that he didn't wear it, you told the young lady, don't make clothes for the young master anymore, it's in vain, the young master's stubborn temper, I have been teaching for many years. ”

"What did Madame do wrong, to treat her like this?" Xing'er thought that since the young lady passed the door, the young master had never come. Such a good person, staying alone in the new house every day, so desolate.

"Tell the young lady, alas...... The young lady has a hard life, and she met a stubborn donkey like the young master. ”

"Fan Fu, you scold the young master, see if I don't tell the young master, let him clean you up. Apricot widened her eyes and said angrily.

"Oh, I'm afraid it's not easy for you to meet the young master, and I am the only one who can see the young master every day. Fan Fu grimaced, turned and ran away.

Ling Xiao looked at the burden that Xing'er put on the table, it was expected, she opened the suitcase that she had brought from the marriage, and put the new clothes in the bag inside. She took out the new fabric in the suitcase and looked at it carefully, it was time to make winter clothes, and no matter whether the young master of the Fan family wore clothes made by himself or not, he still had to do what he had to do.

"Young lady, how did you do that?" Xing'er couldn't help but ask.

"Huh?" Ling Xiao turned around and looked at her puzzled.

"The young master is not good to you at all, why do you have to do this and that for him. Xing'er pointed to the fabric in her hand and said angrily.

"Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog. Ling Xiao said self-deprecatingly, "I have married him, whether he likes it or not is his business, I am his wife, so I naturally have to do my duty as a wife." ”

"Hey...... Even the stone man, when he sees what you do, he will also be covered with heat. But our young master is really hard-hearted. Apricot said with a sigh.

There was a slight smile on the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth: "Xing'er, can you go to the old lady's room and get an old cotton coat worn by the young master, I want to see it before I can cut it for him." ”

"Okay, I'll get it for you. Apricot left with a snort.

Ling Xiao put down the clothes in her hand, she remembered the Cheng Gongzi she met today, her husband has one-tenth of his? She has been the best among the girls since she was a child, and the Cheng Gongzi she saw today is almost the same as the length of the fat and thin clothes she has made for her husband, the Fan Yuncheng she has never met, will she be like the Cheng Gongzi with starry eyes and handsome eyes?

It's been more than three months since she married into the Fan family, and she has never seen her husband once, she doesn't know why in her heart, she is afraid to meet this Fan Yuncheng, and now he hates herself, but it makes her feel at ease. Originally, she thought that she could live like a water, but the Cheng Gongzi she saw today completely disturbed her originally calm heart. She thought about never caring for the herbs she had grown again, but the thought of seeing him haunted her.

In front of the treasury of the yamen of the state capital, there stood the treasurer Li Da and several Kuding, standing side by side in front of a table, and the prefect Zhu Muzhi sat in the Taishi chair, brushing his beard and looking around.

Under the command of Fan Yuncheng, several officials moved the silver ingots in the warehouse, and beside him stood Li Bingtai, the shopkeeper of the largest shop in Qiaozhou City, Li Bingtai put a silver ingot in his shop in a bowl on the table, the bowl was filled with water, and after the water overflowed the edge of the bowl, Li Bingtai took the silver ingot out of the bowl, carefully measured the height of the bowl along the water, put the silver in the treasury into another bowl filled with clear water, and then clamped it out, and then observed whether the clear water in the water had changed.

The sun was rising, the courtyard was silent, and the weather was a little hot. Fan Yuncheng slowly paced behind Kuding, and after walking back and forth a few times, he found that the clothes on the backs of Kuding, Zhang Xiaowu and Liu Fangzhou had been soaked with sweat.

"Do you two feel that the weather is a little hot today?" asked Fan Yuncheng coldly.

“...... Yes, yes, Tongzhi, this ...... today. It's a bit hot. Liu Fangzhou wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

"Ah, but look at the colleagues around you, why haven't you seen them sweating so much?" Fan Yuncheng asked, pointing to Kuding beside them.

"......" The faces of the two suddenly turned sallow.

"How can there be no ghost in my heart so panicked?" Zhu Muzhi shouted angrily, "Bold minion, still don't kneel down and beg for mercy?"

When Zhang Xiaowu and Liu Fangzhou heard this, they were so frightened that they fell to their knees, and their whole bodies trembled, and they didn't dare to get up.

"Lord Zhu, the villain has all been identified, six of the sixty ingots of silver are fake silver, one ingot is fifty taels, a total of three hundred taels of official silver. Li Bingtai bowed his hand to Zhu Mudao.

"It's not from the truth, when did you start stealing official money? ”

"Enlightenment...... Enlightened adults, the little ones are also forced to be helpless......" Liu Fangzhou replied with great courage and trembling.

"This government wants you to explain clearly today why you are doing such a rebellious thing. ”

"Little ...... The villain was forced by a masked man to ...... That's why you did this kind of headless thing......"

"What masked man?" Zhu Muzhi frowned.

"Big ...... About half a year ago, the two of us went to ...... When I went to play in the Jiujiu Gambling House......" Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly scrambled to say.

"What, you two actually go to gamble?" Zhu Muzhi was so angry that his beard turned up.

"Yes...... Yes, my lord, we both lost all that day, and the owner of the gambling house demanded that we pay us back, but ...... But how can we have the money to pay back?" Liu Fangzhou was not to be outdone, and also rushed to say.

"Later, a masked man came to my house, took out a large ingot of silver, and asked me to steal the official silver......"

"Who is so bold?" Zhu Mu slapped the table in anger.

"Little ones...... The little ones don't know who he is. Since then, the two of us have discussed that as long as we are on duty, we will ...... I will find a way to exchange it for an ingot of official silver. ”

"So, don't you know what the masked man looks like?" said Zhu Muzhi abruptly.

“...... Yes, the little ones have never seen him for what he really is. ”

"What a pair of fools, you ...... You haven't even seen his appearance, and he has been used by others like this to do such a big rebellious thing, I don't know if this stealing official money is a crime of killing the head?"

"Lord Zhu spares his life...... We, we're also forced to be helpless......"

"Master Zhu, the little one has said everything he knows and should say, and please let the adult open the net and let the villain go. ”

"Come, put these two bold thieves in prison, and wait for their fate. Zhu Mu ordered the two men in front of him to kowtow like garlic to arrest, his head began to hurt again, why did such a fatal case happen under his rule, he turned his head to look at Fan Yuncheng who was standing beside him, this Fan Yuncheng since he arrived, he is also diligent in his work, and he always has endless energy every day, helping the affairs of his state capital to be in order, but this person is a little bad, that is, he is too pedantic, and he doesn't know how to be flexible when things happen, it seems that according to Fan Yuncheng's meaning, this case will not be found out, and he will never give up。

After Zhu Muzhi finished Fan Yuncheng's work, he grabbed him with a smile and came to his study with him.

"Yun Cheng, it is worthy of being the emperor's hand-picked example, it seems that the emperor is indeed looking at him like a torch......"

"The adult has won the prize, and Yun Cheng also thought of this method because of the dots of his friends. Fan Yuncheng thought of the delicate and gentle woman, her name was so good, he had firmly engraved the name Ling Xiao in his mind.

"Well, that's also to admit that there are nobles around to help you. According to the old man, in less than five years, your status will be above the old man. ”

"My lord's words have killed the lower officials, and the lower officials have only loved the method of reasoning and judging cases since childhood, and they have no intention of relying on this career. ”

"Huh...... Xia Guan cherishes talents, there are many flaws in this case, if you want to solve it, it will take some more time, and I hope that Lord Fan will continue to track down the mastermind behind this case and arrest him. Zhu Muzhi knew that since he couldn't stop him, he simply gave him this opportunity, let him investigate, and waited until he touched his head and broke the blood, so that he could learn to stop when he saw the opportunity.

"Yes, sir. Fan Yun agreed.

Ling Xiao didn't go to water the flowers for a few days, she sat at the table all day, the clothes were there, she didn't cut them by hand, she felt empty in her heart for the first time, that Cheng Gongzi...... It's always in front of my eyes, lingering. Until one evening, when the sun was setting, she remembered the herbs she had planted, which had been in a bad mood for her lately...... Thinking of this, she slowly walked out of the door. I thought that maybe that Cheng Gongzi would leave if he didn't see her for a few days in a row.

She felt a little sorry for the herbs she had grown, and if she hadn't watered them for a few days, many of them might have dried up and died. She shed a few tears for no reason, why did she let them die because of the boring thoughts in her heart?

She came to the field and looked at the land she had worked so hard to cultivate, the herbs she had planted with sweat, and her eyes were filled with tears......
