Chapter 541 Getting started

After receiving the news, the chief clerk Chao hurriedly ran back with the fish pole and the fish cage. He couldn't tell the truth from the yamen runners' words and couldn't tell at all.

I only know that Huang Dianshi was killed, and County Magistrate Hu was beaten half to death.

It’s really a bad person who is hurt by his own evil person. Although he wants to laugh, his face cannot be revealed. He jogged all the way and rushed back quickly.

As soon as I arrived at the yamen, I saw a large group of dusty people standing there, saluting a woman in men's clothing and saying goodbye.

The woman had a huge head and a white back, and black in other places.

He was stunned. He seemed to have heard of such a person.

Report!

By the way, I mentioned the Hongzhou rebellion recently and talked about the strange female prince consort, who had made a lot of contributions with a black overseas beast.

The report this month has not come yet, but Hongzhou is right next to him, and this person may be the female princess consort.

I don’t know what happened, but why did I arrive in Anjing County?

The heart of the chief clerk suddenly came to life. He was angry in the county government every day, without any real power. When others were eating and playing, he was all preparing secretly, and checking the newspaper was one of them.

A local official like him has his home here, and it is impossible for him to leave if the county magistrate changes. As long as he can wait until he changes to a new county magistrate, know clues and prepare in advance, he may please the new county magistrate.

Now that the opportunity has come, he knows that the newspaper mentioned that the elder brother of this female prince consort is Zhuang Xuewen.

This name has appeared in newspapers many times in recent months, all of which are related to the emperor. That person is doing a great job now.

His sister came here, so she had to have a good treat.

The chief clerk Chao quickly came up and didn't even put down the fishing rod. "The subordinate Chao Lun has met the prince consort."

Zhuang Rou waved her hand and asked the captured people to leave first. Then she watched the man with a straw hat carrying a fishing pole and a fish cage in his hand.

An ordinary official can't tell whether it's good or bad, but as long as he is excluded by Hu Yuan, he will definitely not be with them.

As for whether it is good or bad, it is nothing to do with her.

She smiled and said, "Mr. Chao, you have a good leisure time, but have you caught fish?"

The chief clerk Chao was stunned and hurriedly replied: "No, when he heard something happened in the yamen, the subordinate rushed over."

"No, Lord Chao caught the fish, but it was still a big fish." Zhuang Rou smiled. "I passed by here and was surrounded by Huang Dianshi and said that I killed 126 people from Linjiazhuang and had to take action without saying a word."

"This is a matter of life that concerns human life. How can we just take the lead without any discrimination? What's more, I am still a court official, so why do I kill the Lin family?"

She smiled, "If I was a man, I could still say that I passed by the Lin family and took a fancy to the beautiful lady of the Lin family. If I wanted to force her to be a concubine, I would hate him and slaughter Linjiazhuang."

When the chief clerk Chao heard this, he knew that this was the work done by the county magistrate and others. He didn't know what it was. He thought that he could just find an excuse to take down the wealthy family who passed by and get benefits on a charge like before?

This time, I found the wrong person and took the female princess consort.

He quickly said, "The prince-consort is absolutely impossible to do such a thing. There must be a reason. I hope the master will investigate it clearly."

"Just just now, the magistrate Hu had asked for his official position to help him investigate the matter well. But when the magistrate Hu heard that so many people had died, Huang Dianshi was assassinated by someone at the yamen. He felt that he was not worthy of being an official, and I am sorry for the people in the city and Lord Dianshi."

Zhuang Rouyu sighed earnestly, "He was ashamed, and he hugged the pillar and ran into a collision. He said he couldn't live anymore, and he knocked himself out of recognition. He also shouted loudly to take revenge, but he was afraid that he had any mental illness, so the official had to tie him up."

"But this is Anjing County after all, so I cannot cross the line and interfere in affairs. I can only ask the Chief Clerk Chao to temporarily take charge of all the affairs of Anjing County, help me investigate the murder case in Linjiazhuang, restore my innocence, and give more than 100 wronged souls to Linjiazhuang."

Master Chao's heart was beating wildly, and suddenly remembered that the county magistrate was one level higher than him, so he hurriedly said politely: "Sir, the county magistrate is still here, so I'm afraid the affairs in the county government must be handed over to him."

Zhuang Rou shrugged and said helplessly: "I sent the yamen runners to invite him just now, but it is said that he was in an acute illness and was bedridden and could not even get out of the ground. So I can only trouble Master Chao for his hard work."

"The subordinate will do his best to assist the prince consort in handling this case." The chief clerk Chao breathed a sigh of relief and took over the power.

He immediately called the yamen runners and began to sort things out one by one.

The people of Hongzhou who were arrested had already let Zhuang Rou go. When Huang Dianshi was assassinated, he first called the coroner to examine the body, and then went to his house to check it out. Who knew if it would be a murder case caused by the discord at home?

If you accidentally find something else, you won't blame others.

As for County Magistrate Hu who had mental illness, he invited a doctor to see him. He couldn't die, but his face was a bit miserable, so he had to rest for a while.

The yamen runners were called over and asked for a long time without knowing anything. They only knew that Huang Dianshi called them to the city gate early in the morning and hid them there waiting for Zhuang Rou and the others to come.

As for what case it was, Huang Dianshi didn't say it, and they didn't dare to ask.

This is indeed the same as Zhuang Rou thought. There is no evidence now. Unless he is punished by County Magistrate Hu and asked him if he knows about this matter.

Although he is the most suspicious, you can say that you can hit the pillar, but if you really use torture, Chao Zhubu will not dare.

With so many people watching, there are many people, his accomplices must have spread the matter, and it is impossible for the superiors to just let it go.

Zhuang Rou didn't want to ask County Magistrate Hu to confess, she had some ways to deal with him.

This happened as soon as she left Hongzhou. She had to know who was attacking her, was she who assassinated Lingge many times, who wanted to regain her reputation, or was she the minister who hated Zhuang Xuewen in the court?

But if you think about it carefully, she found that she should also count the rebels and the dealer. The rebels must have known that they had blown up the enemy camp, and it was normal for them to take revenge.

And that dealer...

"Haha." Zhuang Rou smiled. If it were them, they could pull out their nails in Dahao one by one, making their years of hard work wasteful and make them feel more happy.

She smiled, "Master Chao, please hang the body of the so-called Lin family servant and reward twenty taels of silver. I want to know his identity."

She placed twenty taels of silver on the table. As long as it did not appear in Anjing County on the first day, someone would always know who this person was.

"By the way, if someone is afraid of being retaliated, he will pull a black cloth to block the road. You can stay inside, and all the people passing by will pass by."

"The black cloth has been hanging for three days, and there are so many people coming and going, and no one knows who will inform you, so the person who recognizes the body will naturally appear."

The chief clerk Chao gave his thumbs up and praised: "The prince consort is good at making a move, so the official will be chosen on the road that the people must pass. If you don't want to leave, you have to leave."

"Then please let Lord Chao arrange it. Let's start now. Send a few more people to me, and I'm going to go there for Linjiazhuang." She stood up and said, "She has to go and see if there are so many people in Linjiazhuang.

There are only the Lin family servants and Huang Dianshi in the county corpses. There are not half of the bodies of the Lin family. If you kill someone, you must have a corpse.

Chief Crown Chu said, "The official will go and do it right away."

"By the way, find two porters and carry County Magistrate Hu to me. Before the case is solved, he has to follow me at any time. I will protect him in an endless manner." Zhuang Rou gave another order.

The chief clerk Chao said in a little embarrassedly: "Mr. I'm afraid this is a bit bad, after all, County Magistrate Hu is a man."

Of course, Zhuang Rou knew that he was a man, and she was not alone, so there was still a grandfather available in Yunlai Inn.
