Late at night, the lights were still on in the Zhizhou government office.
Zheng Wuji sat under the lamp, frowning slightly, looking at the case files for the countless times.
The people waiting around him were all sent away by him. It was not as peaceful as him to be alone when someone was around.
Xu Chunjun walked in from the back door, holding a piece of clothing in his hand.
Zheng Wuji turned around and saw her coming, and quickly got up from his seat.
"Sir, please have a rest!" Xu Chunjun said softly, "I have been up all day, and I have to go to court tomorrow."
"Because we have to go to court tomorrow, I have to find something." Zheng Wuji took Xu Chunjun's hand and said, "Go to bed quickly, don't stay with me."
"It's cold at night, so put on some clothes. When the tea is cold, I'll give you a hot one." Xu Chunjun was careful and considerate.
"I'm a grown man, it doesn't matter if it's cold or hot. You go to bed quickly. I studied medicine with Mr. Wu and know that women are most afraid of waking up in the middle of the night, as it hurts their vitality and blood." Zheng Wuji turned around and put on the clothes Xu Chunjun brought.
on her shoulder, "Be good and be obedient."
"Then you go back with me." Xu Chunjun rarely acted coquettishly and held Zheng Wuji's hand, "I'm a little scared to be alone."
In fact, she was not afraid, she just didn't want Zheng Wuji to be so tired.
Moreover, sometimes the more urgent you are to find something, the more futile your efforts will be.
It's better to relax for a while, then pick it up again, maybe you will make new discoveries.
How promising does Zheng Wuji have to be before he can reject Xu Chunjun?
Said: "Then I will read it again and then go back with you."
Then he said: "You are so smart and careful, please help me."
Xu Chunjun did not refuse, so the two of them read the file of this case together under the lamp.
Because the case occurred two years ago, the original file has become yellowed.
This was specially sent by Zheng Wuji today.
Xu Chunjun read it from beginning to end and suddenly pointed at the file and asked, "Who is this Liu Bucun?"
"He is the neighbor of Liu Shuangxi's house. He was the witness who made a noise when he heard something moving next door." Zheng Wuji said.
"I know, I mean who he is." Xu Chunjun said.
"There is a record in the file that he is forty-six years old and he is a villager in Liujiazhuang." Zheng Wuji pointed to the file and said, but then he understood what Xu Chunjun meant, "Are you saying that the record in the file is too brief? Today he also
When I came to the hall, I didn't look like a cunning and cunning person."
"I'm just curious, among the neighbors of Cui's family, why was he the only one who heard the noise?" Xu Chunjun said.
"This is easy. Their land security guard is also here. I'll call him over and ask." Zheng Wuji was certainly not stupid enough to call Liu Bucun directly.
If you want to know the details of a person, it's best to get it from other people's mouth.
The land security guard of Liujiazhuang was half asleep when he was pushed up by an official and was frightened to death.
When I heard that Master Zhizhou wanted to ask questions, I didn't even have time to put on my socks, so I pulled on my shoes and came over.
At this time Xu Chunjun had already hidden behind the curtain.
"Liu Sheng, the little man, kowtows to the adults." The dibao said and was about to kneel down.
"No gift, don't be afraid, I just want to ask you a few words." Zheng Wuji was very kind and even asked someone to give him a cup of tea.
Liu Sheng was so grateful to be treated like this, and said with sincerity and fear: "The adults only ask, but the villains will tell everything they know."
"I want to ask you, who is this Liu Bucun?" Zheng Wuji asked.
"He is an old bachelor. He is usually honest and has never gotten into any trouble." Liu Sheng rubbed his hands and said.
"On the night of the accident, why did he hear it when no one else heard it?" Zheng Wuji asked again.
"Uh... I remember that I went out to relieve myself at night. I heard something moving in the yard next door. I climbed to the top of the wall and saw someone sneaking around outside the window of the yard. That's when I started yelling." Liu Sheng acted as the land security guard.
, he was present both after the incident and during the trial.
"Is Liu Bucun usually a diligent person?" Zheng Wuji asked again.
Liu Sheng didn't understand why Zheng Wuji asked this question, but he just said truthfully: "Although he is not a bad person, he is just too lazy. Otherwise, he would not be able to find a wife."
After Zheng Wuji heard this, he didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "Okay, I understand. You can go down and rest!"
"Hey! Hey! If you have anything, you can always call on me." The security guard nodded and bowed, and slowly backed away.
After he left, Xu Chunjun walked out from behind the curtain.
"Madam, you are really smart." Zheng Wuji couldn't help but kiss Xu Chunjun on the forehead, "If you were a man, you would be a prime minister."
"My lord, you can tell everything at once, you are no worse than me!" Xu Chunjun pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes clear.
"Then I will find a reliable person to go to Liujiazhuang tomorrow to have a look." Zheng Wuji said, "You cannot decide the case based on the files alone."
In the morning, Zheng Wuji got up and told Mr. Wu his thoughts.
Mr. Wu said: "Then let me go! Originally, I also wanted to tell the adults to go to these two villages for a walk!"
"There is no one more suitable than sir, so I'll trouble you to make a trip." Zheng Wuji was very happy.
Mr. Wu is brave and resourceful, and he will definitely be able to act according to the opportunity.
Therefore, when he went to court today, he did not interrogate the relevant persons in this case, but took on other matters.
When a new official takes office, many issues that the previous official failed to resolve naturally come up again.
What Zheng Wuji was dealing with today was a case involving two families fighting for land.
And check the tax account books reported by each county.
As for Mr. Wu, he brought a little book boy with him, and the two of them rode horses to Liujiazhuang, Shangshui.
This place is only thirty or forty miles away from Huaiyang, and we arrived there in about an hour.
No one here knew him, and Mr. Wu did not identify himself, just pretending to be a passing businessman.
He had already inquired about the location of Liu Bucun's home before coming.
The doors to his home and Liu Shuangxi's home are locked because these two people are now in the county government office in the state capital.
Mr. Wu walked a few steps further and saw a tea shed standing there at the intersection, so he asked the boy to lead the horse over.
The woman who opened the tea shed was about fifty years old. When she saw the guests coming, she quickly greeted them with a smile on her face.
"Sister, please bring a bowl of tea." Mr. Wu sat down and saw that the tea shed was quite clean.
"This morning, I wonder if your guest would like fruit tea or noodle tea?" the mother-in-law asked diligently.
"Let's have two bowls of fruit tea." Mr. Wu asked with a smile, "May I ask my eldest sister what your last name is?"
"My surname is Song." Mrs. Song replied while looking at Mr. Wu carefully.
I saw him riding a tall horse and accompanying his entourage. Although his clothes were not particularly gorgeous, he looked majestic.
Then you knew he was no ordinary person.
Therefore, we were treated with extra attentiveness, and with great energy, we ordered two bowls of fruit tea and four plates of snacks.
