Chapter 24 Scared to Death(1/2)
Ajiu didn't want to talk to Nie Chen, Nie Chen was very suspicious and could not believe it, but he swallowed subconsciously.
It smells so good when the purse is thrown over.
If you eat jerky before working, tsk!
I don’t know when he will live such a fairy life.
Ajiu cheered up, the village was right in front, and he wanted to cheer up.
Nie Chen's eyes fell on the ridge of the field, and there were many people shuttle back and forth on the ridge of the field, and it looked like women, children and the elderly.
Strange, it’s a bit early to harvest corn now? And why aren’t there any male jobs to do?
There is indeed something strange.
Ajiu stood behind Nie Chen at some time, just like Nie Chen's follower.
The two began to walk towards those people.
...
Gu Mingzhu slept very peacefully this time. Mrs. Lin and her mother in charge did not dare to wake her up. This Miss Gu had a problem. If she couldn't sleep well, she would make a big fuss, which would make people feel uneasy.
Mrs. Lin came over and couldn't help feeling distressed when she saw her daughter like this: "Why did she fall asleep like this?" She hurriedly instructed her servants to carefully carry Gu Mingzhu to the soft collapse of the side room, and then sat beside her to watch.
Looking at the mother and daughter, Mrs. Lin was so angry that she was not strong enough. The Huaiyuan Marquis' Mansion was already like this, but they seemed to be in a hurry at all.
Mrs. Lin returned to the inner room with anger.
The manager's mother hurriedly stepped forward to rub the shoulders of Mrs. Lin: "Madam, don't be angry, the Marquis is also anxious for a moment and speaks without saying a word."
"Brother Zhen is the flesh that fell from my body. How can I be serious with him?" Mrs. Lin said, "I was so angry that I was the one who was plaguing the trouble behind my back. If I found out, I would definitely punish me severely. I actually used the means to hit my nose..." She was completely disgraceful. Only by peeling the man's skin could she feel comfortable.
The manager's mother said, "I have already ordered you to check all the people who have been to your yard today. If it were done by someone at home, you will definitely find out..."
Thinking of Gu Mingzhu being like a pool of mud, no matter how you control it, Mrs. Lin’s mood that had just calmed down was turbulent again: “Brother Zhen said those words to me today, and I think it was too hard to work in the yamen. If it weren’t for the case of Huaiyuan Marquis, he wouldn’t have come from Xuanfu to Taiyuan. Now that our family is so busy, the people in Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion seem to be fine.
My sister used to be like this in the clan. She was confused and worried every day. She was not young yet and had no marriage. She was still at Dingning Marquis’ Mansion, and then she ran into Huaiyuan Marquis and became the wife of Huaiyuan Marquis.”
The manager's mother hurriedly said, "If Mrs. Lin had not been your clan sister, how could she have the glory today."
"A person cannot be lucky for a lifetime," Mrs. Lin stretched out the handkerchief in her hand. "She has no thoughts, and I will not help her anymore. This time, I hope that Marquis Huaiyuan will follow our Brother Zhen and do something for Brother Zhen. He is not an ungrateful person."
The manager's mother responded, paused for a moment before saying, "Then are we still doing that?"
The mother in charge refers to Zhou Rujun. The Marquis told him that something would never happen again. Tomorrow will be a good life for Taoist priests, but now something happens at home is really a bit difficult to deal with.
The manager's mother lowered her voice: "If not, slow down?"
Mrs. Lin immediately frowned: "You don't know how the old god works. How can you change your good days at will? It's fine if you don't listen to Brother Zhen. If you want to settle the matter, it will be considered my heart disease."
The manager's mother said, "I know, and I will send you only two immortals in a while."
"Going out early tomorrow, don't let Brother Zhen know. It should be easy to do it. It's nothing more than doing a ritual and taking Zhou's corpse out and throwing it away. There will be nothing in the tomb in the future, and Zhou's family can no longer do anything."
After saying that, Mrs. Lin picked up the tea and drank it: "Since I was scared at home, I haven't slept peacefully for a long time. Zhou clearly had to make mistakes first, but now she became a ghost but she still had to pester Zhang and me. Those who died once did not know the lesson. Zhou can be peaceful, so why would I think about doing these things? After all, it was Zhou's own fault."
The mother in charge has to go down and make arrangements.
Mrs. Lin reminded again: "I told the two immortals that if I can do it smoothly tomorrow, I will definitely give them more offerings."
"Madam," the maid came in and reported, "Madam Huaiyuan Marquis asked me to report to you, Madam and Miss Gu are going back."
Mrs. Lin frowned. Zhuzhu woke up as soon as she left: "Let them go!" Staying at home was also a mess. After they left, the manager at home also made it easier to find the thieves who were stealing and defeating.
...
Gu Mingzhu returned to the small yard of the Gu family and had dinner with Mrs. Lin. As soon as the mother and daughter went for a walk in the yard, they heard the manager report: "Young Master Feng's cousin is here."
Feng Anping is here to send messages.
"Among the thieves caught from Yong'an Lane, someone confessed to the place where the thieves were hiding." Feng Anping drank the tea in one breath, and then smacked his lips, as if he didn't taste it. It was such a pity.
Mrs. Lin's face was full of expectation: "What's the result?"
Feng Anping shook his head, as if he was beaten by frost: "Not found." After the examination, they rushed out of the city immediately, running so hard that their throats were smoked. They finally found the cave, carefully searched the cave but found nothing.
Mrs. Lin was a little disappointed, and the mother in charge next to her sighed secretly, but Miss Gu, who was ignorant of her worries, still had a smile on her face.
Mrs. Lin said: "Is it the thief who said it randomly?"
Feng Anping said: "Many prisoners will confess their guilt after being tortured. Of course, some people deliberately do so in order to escape the blame. At that time, the court cannot find a clear proof and can only think that he was wronged.
But we did not torture that person, we just scared him, he wanted to make meritorious service and atone for his sins." They all felt that this case was not easy to be tried, but they didn't expect that someone was willing to admit it, but unfortunately they ended up getting water from the bamboo basket.
Mrs. Lin murmured when she heard this: "I don't know when the case will be revealed."
Feng Anping said: "Maybe the thieves were caught. The people who were guilty of the same crime saw that the situation was not good, so they hid the thief stolen elsewhere. Someone searched around the yamen. If there was a result, I would send someone to send me a message."
The thief was not found, and Dingning Hou's face looked very ugly. They all thought it might be the thief who was randomly pointed, but Dingning Hou felt that someone had tampered with it in advance and asked his scouts to check it everywhere, and perhaps they would find clues.
Mrs. Lin thought carefully: "Where is the place where the robbers hides?" Is there any war horse that the marquis lost in those stolen goods? The war horse is a living thing. It is easy for the thief to take the war horse away in advance, so the stolen goods Feng Anping should not be a war horse, but if the stolen goods are hidden in the mountains, maybe a war horse can be found a little farther away? She is a dead horse and is a living horse. If there is some news, I can't help but think about it.
Feng Anping misunderstood Mrs. Lin’s meaning: “Don’t send someone to find it. It’s not peaceful that the place is enough. It’s enough to have a yamen servant.”
Mrs. Lin was a little surprised: "Isn't peace?"
Feng Anping nodded: "There are often earth moving there. Last year, the biggest riots were caused by the second largest, and many people died. The scene was so miserable. Many people were shaken away, and some people had lost their clothes."
The earth was moving? Gu Mingzhu raised her head. Even if the earth's kinetic energy knocked people away, why did her clothes disappear?
After Feng Anping said this, he was about to get up and say goodbye to leave, but found that Gu Mingzhu came over and reached out and handed him a plate of pastries.
Feng Anping couldn't help but feel warm. Zhuzhu Renshan was still there. After eating these pastries, he didn't have to go home. He went out of the city and continued to search around the cave.
Since the time has been obtained, Feng Anping said a few more words: "The yamen checked those villages and wanted to know if the villagers in the village had anything to do with the bandits. I think it was 80% unrelated. The men in the village that time were almost dead. What can women, children and the elderly do?"
Mrs. Lin was shocked: "Why is this happening?"
Feng Anping said: "The first time the earth was moving, the middle-aged men in the village went to save people, but the second earth moved, and the mountains collapsed, and the men were buried inside."
Mrs. Lin chanted the Buddha's words repeatedly and pulled Zhuzhu over, not wanting Zhuzhu to hear such a miserable thing again, although Zhuzhu couldn't understand the meaning.
The news had arrived. Feng Anping stood up and said goodbye. He came out of the Gu family. He looked at his own house and saw that the door was open. He couldn't help but feel panic. Could it be that the family was stolen? If the money he had finally saved was stolen like this, he could go directly to meet his ancestors.
When Feng Anping thought of this, he no longer cared about anything else and hurried into the yard to check. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Chujiu's figure as straight as a clay sculpture.
"Come in!" A faint voice came from the room.
Hearing Wei Yuanchen's voice, Feng Anping didn't dare to neglect and immediately pushed the door and walked in, respectfully bowing to Wei Yuanchen. He thought that after the last time, Lord Wei would have to come and pass him again. He didn't expect that the peaceful life would be so short. Fortunately, after getting along with Lord Wei for more times, his fear gradually faded.
Feng Anping couldn't forget the fear of dying when he first met Lord Wei.
Feng Anping was thinking, and glanced at the box in the room. When did these things happen at home?
"Make the document!" Wei Yuanchen pointed to the paper on the desktop.
Feng Anping subconsciously held the paper in his hand.
Wei Yuanchen said: "Every box must be ordered well. If something goes wrong, the court will blame you, but you are asking."
As soon as Wei Yuanchen finished speaking, a follower came forward and opened one of the boxes.
A few golden cakes were shining with dazzling light, which caught Feng Anping's eyes.
Where did these gold, silver and soft softness come from? Feng Anping immediately thought of the lost property recorded in the stolen case of merchants, including gold cakes, jade, gems and corals, and a peony makeup box, which contained pearls.
The things that the government office went to heaven and earth were now looking for, and Feng Anping rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
“These are…”
"Stolen goods." Wei Yuanchen said lightly.
Feng Anping collapsed to the ground as soon as his legs were weak. His ancestors felt like he was about to die.
Lord Wei shared the spoils and gave them to him, not only that, he also asked him to sign a document as a letter of submission.
His life is gone.
Wei Yuanchen's voice became even colder: "What are you still standing there? Why don't you go over and take a look?"
"Mr. Wei, think about it again, I'm not suitable," Feng Anping said sadly, "I haven't married and had children yet, and I haven't passed on the Feng family's family. Otherwise, you can change someone. Lord Han, the Tongzhi of Taiyuan Prefecture, is more official than me..."
"You are the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture, in charge of litigation and have the position of supervisory officers," Wei Yuanchen looked fierce, "Do it quickly, I will send the documents into a secret box and submit it to the emperor."
Present to the emperor? No matter how arrogant Lord Wei is, he cannot share the spoils with the emperor, right? Feng Anping looked at the wrinkled document in his hand carefully.
"Sir, are you?"
"I'm not at ease with the Taiyuan Government Office. I suspect there are people who have had an affair with bandits. I will seal the stolen goods for the time being. After the case is investigated, I will explain to the court, but before that, I cannot disclose it to others," Wei Yuanchen said and walked out, "Do it quickly."
Although Feng Anping was as timid as a mouse, he was still quite upright. He has been careful and honest since he became an official. He will not be questioned after investigation by the court in the future. Wei Yuanchen stood in the yard and looked up at the sky.
A kite on his head slowly flew up. Looking at the direction of the Gu family's yard, Wei Yuanchen saw the scene of Miss Gu turning around and pushing the murderer neatly. He couldn't help but frown slightly. Perhaps he was thinking too much, and always felt that there was another mystery in this Miss Gu.
Soon, Feng Anping came out to report, "It's already ordered." As he said that, he trembled and presented the document to Wei Yuanchen, hoping that Lord Wei would not let him do such dangerous things again in the future.
"The things are here," Wei Yuanchen said, "I will order two people to guard here."
Feng Anping widened his eyes: "Big... sir... this is not suitable! What if the court searches everywhere..."
Wei Yuanchen said: "Even if we want to investigate the entire Taiyuan Prefecture, the government office will first investigate it from foreigners." The government office had no evidence that the stolen goods entered the city, so we would not do such a thing very much.
Feng Anping swallowed, saying that, but how could he sleep in these boxes in his room?
To be continued...
