Now a murder has just occurred in the house, and everyone here is suspected...not just you, but also the servants and servants below, we will treat them equally and investigate them one by one."

Zhou Jizu also realized his gaffe, and quickly said with his hands, "Please forgive the student... Actually, it was really the student's accident!"

Seeing Magistrate Zhang's face turn slightly, Zhou Jizu continued, "Your Excellency, you also know that there are only a few months left until the next autumn of Wei Enke. Students hang beams on top of the academy and prick their buttocks every day, in order to one day be like adults.

In this way, the lintel will shine and the people will benefit... But now, the student has been delayed for two days because of this case. If he keeps waiting like this..."

He glanced at the others and gritted his teeth and said, "Besides, the students only came back yesterday evening. By that time, Chen Xiandi had been killed. It can be seen that this case has nothing to do with the students. Do you think you can..."

Magistrate Zhang sneered, "If you really came back yesterday evening, this murder has nothing to do with you, but what if you, like the deceased, came back early?"

“Absolutely not for students!”

"I can't just listen to your words." Magistrate Zhang said in his heart that you are such a messy and sour scholar, no wonder you have failed in many trials... Then he said with a cold face, "I still said the same thing, what you said,

We will verify everything one by one. The sky net is comprehensive and there will be no omissions. As long as you behave properly and do things correctly, there is no need to worry about others investigating."

Seeing Magistrate Zhang's face getting more and more ugly, Zhou Jizu had no choice but to say "Yes" calmly, "Please give the student a time limit, so the student can wait with peace of mind..."

Magistrate Zhang sneered coldly, "What you said is funny! I want to solve the case immediately, otherwise you tell me who the murderer is?" He lowered his face, "Is it true that your time is precious, but my time is not?

valuable?"

In fact, to be honest, aside from the murder that just happened, County Magistrate Zhang really likes this place... Chen Zongxian's family has a lot of money, and his father is willing to spend money on him. Even this house is beautifully built.

, much better than his poor county government dormitory...

Not to mention the gentle and lovely Mrs. Zhou, and the pretty Ms. Su who is not even ordinary...

If the rain stopped soon, he would really be reluctant to leave...

This Zhou Jizu is a stickman who knows no blessings despite being blessed!

Zhou Jizu hurriedly apologized, "The student didn't mean that..."

"I don't care what you mean!" Magistrate Zhang's patience has been completely exhausted. He waved his hand, "As long as the case is not solved, you will not be able to get rid of the suspicion. I can summon you at any time - you too

You can choose to go back to the academy first, as long as you don't mind the trouble of going to the Yamen again and again."

Zhou Jizu wanted to say more, but Su Heng said, "In that case, the student will stay here and wait for your summons at any time."

Magistrate Zhang nodded and glanced at Zhou Jizu coldly, "Anyway, you can't go anywhere in this damn weather. I don't know what you are struggling with." After that, he walked away.

As soon as he went out, Zhou Jizu couldn't help but ask Su Heng, "Why did you agree just now?" His tone was full of displeasure.

Su Heng looked at him inexplicably, "Brother Zhou, do you want your wife to live alone in this haunted house where people have just died?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Song Yunpan, who was standing aside, and said with a smile, "I definitely want to stay with my wife."

Madam Zhou's eyes fell on Su Heng's hand holding Song Yunpan tightly, and a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

"..." On the contrary, Zhou Jizu next to her was blocked by Su Heng for a long time and couldn't speak. He couldn't help but snorted angrily, flicked his sleeves and rushed out of the door.

"Ms. sir!" Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly chased her a few steps away, but her feet suddenly softened——

"Mrs. Zhou, be careful!" Song Yunpan, with quick eyesight and quick hands, quickly supported her swaying body.

The latter managed to survive the bouts of dizziness in front of his eyes, and forced a smile on his somewhat pale face, "Thank you, sister..."

Song Yun hoped to see her standing still, then let go of her hand and said calmly, "Are you okay?"

"It's nothing." Mrs. Zhou shook her head, "I think there are too many things these days and I didn't have a good rest..."

First, the owner of the house died, and then the county magistrate was left here by a heavy rain. As a steward, Mrs. Zhou naturally had a lot to do.

Song Yunpan nodded. He didn't want to say anything anymore, but after thinking about it, he couldn't bear it and said, "You don't look good, so you should go back and have a good rest."

Madam Zhou was about to speak when Su Heng, who was behind Song Yunpan, echoed, "Yes." He took a step forward, looked at Madam Zhou's face and said, "These are troubled times. If Madam-in-law also falls ill, we

Things are going to be even more chaotic here, why not find a doctor quickly——"

"No need!" Madam Zhou suddenly interrupted in a loud voice. Seeing Su Heng and his wife looking at her in astonishment, Madam Zhou quickly said, "I know my health well... nothing is wrong, I just need to rest for a while.

Okay." She lowered her head and said curtly, "I have to go to the kitchen to check out today's lunch... so I'll excuse you." After saying that, she left in a hurry without waiting for Su Heng and Song Yunpan to talk.

……………………

"Do you think Madam Zhou is a little strange?" Song Yunpan asked in a low voice after they returned to their room.

Su Heng was looking for a book in front of the cage. Hearing this, he turned around and asked, "What's so strange?"

Song Yunpan hesitated and said, "When you asked her to see the doctor just now, didn't you think Mrs. Zhou's reaction was very intense? It was like -" Meeting Su Heng's encouraging gaze, she continued, "It seemed like she was very scared.

of……"

"It's a little strange." Su Heng nodded, finally found the book he was looking for, walked to Song Yunpan and sat down next to him, "I have never been in contact with this Mrs. Zhou, what kind of person is she?"

"She is very gentle to others and good at talking... all the servants in the house respect her." Song Yunpan thought for a moment, "She has a deep affection for her husband... but Mr. Zhou only wants to get fame."

, I don’t have much time to spend with her on weekdays, and even if she lives so close to the academy, the two of them rarely meet."

Su Heng nodded, "I also heard from my classmates in the academy that Zhou Jizu often studied full time. Sometimes he took a break and everyone went home, but he still stayed in the academy to study hard." He paused.

After a pause, "Doesn't Madam Zhou have any complaints about this matter?"

"How come there isn't?" Song Yunpan sighed, "I can see that Mrs. Zhou is actually very sad... But she told me that Mr. Zhou promised her that if she fails to pass the exam when she is thirty, she will not take the exam again.
