Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 422

Zou Jiang was very loyal to Zou Xiancheng. After receiving the news, he went to see Zou Xiancheng immediately and told about Aunt Lu and the female family members of the Lu family being killed by water bandits.

Zou Xiancheng just said lightly: "Understood."

Seeing this, Zou Jiang couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Master, have you swept your tail clean? You can't let those people bite you. Those are all desperadoes licking blood, if..."

"Shut up!" Zou Xiancheng yelled violently, staring at Zou Jiang with his sunken eyes due to serious illness: "How dare you investigate my official, Zou Jiang, you are so brave."

Zou Jiang hurriedly explained: "Master, this slave didn't check you. This slave received the news from the county government, and then thought of the old farmer who sent water chestnuts, so I suspected that Master did it."

He also assured: "Master, don't worry, you have great kindness to this old slave. Even if this old slave dies, he will not betray the master. The old slave came to inquire because he was afraid that the master would not clean up his tail, and someone would come to the house."

After Zou Xiancheng listened, his face was still gloomy.

After so many years, Zou Jiang is still smarter than him. He guessed that he bribed the water bandits to kill Aunt Lu through only a letter and an old farmer who delivered water chestnuts.

Zou Xiancheng was very annoyed in his heart, why could Zou Jiang still deal with things calmly even though he had abused Zou Jiang all his life?It stands to reason that a child prodigy like Zou Jiang should not be able to bear the humiliation of being a slave and commit suicide?

Zou Xiancheng looked at Zou Jiang, and suddenly felt that it was wrong to use such water to grind a child prodigy.Just because he is not living better than Zou Jiang now.

Zou Jiang's old mother and daughter-in-law died, and he would never remarry for life, and lost his children.But he himself was drugged to kill offspring, was cuckolded by his son, and became the laughing stock of the entire county. His three sons were useless, and his grandson was useless.

"Hahaha~" Zou Xiancheng laughed suddenly, frightened Zou Jiang, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said, "Master, if you feel uncomfortable, just say it, don't hold it in your heart."

Zou Jiang was really afraid that Zou Xiancheng would be driven crazy by recent events.

After Zou Xiancheng heard this, he immediately put away his laughter and pushed Zou Jiang away: "I'm fine, you can step down."

He said again: "You think too much. There are often water bandits on the Huai River. Aunt Lu's matter is just a coincidence. You don't have to worry too much. Besides, when I am doing business, has there ever been a time when I didn't clean my tail?"

Zou Xiancheng did not admit that he let the water bandits torture and kill Aunt Lu.Once some things are admitted, it will be used as an excuse. Zou Xiancheng has already started to be wary of Zou Jiang, and will not reveal his old background to him.

However, Zou Jiang reminded him that Cripple Six cannot stay. If Zou Jiang can find him, so can others.

As for Zou Jiang... Zou Xiancheng didn't want Zou Jiang to die so easily.

He kept Zou Jiang for the sake of practice. Now, after comparing, he found that his life was no better than Zou Jiang's.He had to trample Zou Jiang while he was still alive, and completely trample this child prodigy who was once famous in the counties of He'an Prefecture under his feet, making this child prodigy even die miserable.

Seeing that Zou Xiancheng did not listen to persuasion, Zou Jiang had no choice but to back down.

……

In the county yamen, Master Tian's face darkened when he heard the news that Aunt Lu had been killed by water bandits.

He thought of what Gu Jinli reminded him that day, and felt that this matter was unusual. He looked at the county magistrate Xu and said, "My lord, that person wouldn't have the guts and ability to collude..."

"Tian Shiye speak carefully." County magistrate Xu interrupted Tian Shiye: "This matter is too big, we don't have evidence, so it's not worth talking nonsense...it's not worth it."

This kind of official collusion with water bandits is not something that he, a county magistrate without a backing, can handle.And he was about to be transferred, and he didn't want to lose his life for such a thing before leaving.

Master Tian knew that County Magistrate Xu was timid and only wanted to get the credit without taking any risks. It was a pity that he didn't want to touch this matter.

But the magistrate Xu is his Dong Weng, he has to obey the order, and can only let this matter go.

However, County Captain Jiang has been keeping an eye on the Zou family. It’s just that Xiancheng Zou has become cautious and low-key recently. Run amok.

He even released Mrs. Zou, who had been grounded all the time, and asked Master Shao to personally teach Zou Yukun's son, intending to let him inherit the Zou family.

Zou Yukun's daughter-in-law originally wanted to make peace with Zou Yukun. It can be seen that after her son was carefully taught, she knew that the Zou family would be passed on to her son, so she stopped making trouble and ignored Zou Yukun, just treating him as dead.

And Zou Yuqian had already died in Lianshan Village, but Zou Xiancheng didn't give him a funeral, but quietly buried him, saying that he was sick and recuperating in the village.

Not long after Aunt Lu's death, Liu Shi, the cripple who occasionally brought water chestnuts to Zou's house, never came again.He said that he was too old to do anything, so he sold the house, the fields, and the pond where the chestnuts were planted, and defected to his nephew in the south of the Yangtze River with the money.

Cripple Six is ​​an old man with a disability, a little man with no children and no daughters, he leaves as soon as he leaves, and no one cares about him.

It's just that he didn't go to join his nephew, but went to the village of the water bandits and settled down there.

……

After Gu Jinli learned that Aunt Lu was killed by the water bandits, taking advantage of Qin Sanlang's return from Xiumu, he asked him specially: "Will the county magistrate not investigate this matter?"

As long as you check, you will be able to find out something.

Qin Sanlang shook his head: "Magistrate Xu was timid. He was afraid of losing his life, so he didn't dare to investigate. County Captain Jiang really cared about it, but County Cheng Zou was cautious and swept his tail cleanly. County Captain Jiang couldn't find anything."

Gu Jinli frowned: "This is difficult."

Qin Sanlang looked at her frowning, and said with relief: "You don't have to worry, I will take care of these things, and I will definitely find evidence that Zou Xiancheng colluded with the water bandits."

Qin Sanlang spoke very seriously, but found that Gu Jinli didn't seem to have heard him, and he lowered his head to think about something, he was a little disappointed.

Being extremely disappointed, Gu Jinli looked up at him, and found that he had been tanned recently and had grown a lot taller: "You have grown tall again, if you continue to grow like this, when you grow up, don't you want to run 1.9 meters?" .”

Qin Sanlang was puzzled: "How high is 1.9 meters? I'm not a child, I've grown up."

He has reached the age of fifteen, he is a grown-up adult, and he can set up a family.

Gu Jinli looked at him and said, "How did you grow up? You're just a kid."

Are you a junior high school student?

However, now is not the time to discuss your height and age.

"Zou Xiancheng is cautious. If we investigate slowly, when will we find out? Don't you suspect that the tragedy of Zou Jiang's family was done by Zou Xiancheng? Then let's write an anonymous letter and send it to Zou Jiang." Gu Jinli smiled slyly : "Whether he has evidence or not, let's separate Zou Xiancheng and Zou Jiang first."

"What happened back then must have dealt a heavy blow to Zou Jiang, otherwise he wouldn't be disheartened, give up his good status, and become a slave to others. Just send him an anonymous letter to make him doubt what happened back then. He will definitely be separated from Zou Xiancheng."

"Zou Jiang has been with Zou Xiancheng for so many years, so he must know a lot of Zou Xiancheng's secrets. As long as Zou Jiang reveals these secrets, it will be difficult for Zou County Cheng to figure it out."
