Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 17
It's been a long night, Jiang Wenyuan sent Pinggui, who had been running all the way with him, to rest. He really couldn't sleep, so he couldn't let his servants suffer with him.After decades of love between master and servant, Pinggui is considered half of the family.

Refreshing with strong tea, Jiang Wenyuan once again took out the investigation of Zhou Bingzheng's life reported by the governor of Suzhou.

He believes that there are truly good people in this world.

In particular, Zhou Bingzheng often helps the people not for fame and fortune, but because he is rich and capable of helping, and when he encounters them, he will help.

Because of this, Zhou Bingzheng's death had a very bad social impact.

Although Anqing Mansion can't reach the level of not picking up things on the road and not closing the door at night, the law and order has always been good.

God loves people, there have been no natural disasters for three to five years in a row, and the people don't say that every family is rich, at least they have surplus food, and they are well-fed.As long as he is not greedy or lazy, he is free from illness and disaster, and he can live on a few acres of land.

Unlike the previous and last dynasties, where natural disasters continued for years, Anqing Mansion was empty, and there were countless refugees. Just to survive, how many people sold their children and daughters, and exchanged children for food. It looked like a purgatory on earth.

At the end of last year, the temperature was low and there was a lot of wind and snow. Several families in Fanjiaji were crushed by the heavy snow because their thatched houses were in disrepair for a long time.After Zhou Bingzheng saw it, he donated more than a dozen taels of silver and built a new house with them, which saved them from freezing and starving to death.

Jiang Wenyuan had no choice but to praise him for his benevolence and righteousness for being able to achieve such a level through no relatives or reasons.

Just because he came back late, he met a villain and died.The miserable appearance of him falling to the ground was seen by the nearby residents, and everyone felt sorry for him.

Good people don't live long, and evils last for thousands of years. How can this happen?Could it be that God is blind?

Xiangshenli was almost stepping on the threshold of the Suzhou government. What he said was that he hoped that the government would quickly arrest the villain and give the Zhou family an explanation.

Jiang Wenyuan even wondered if it was the Zhou family who did it themselves, or a competitor of the Zhou family, rather than Zhou Bingzheng himself.

The Zhou family is not monolithic, a large family is bound to be right and wrong, and some people can't understand Zhou Bingzheng, saying that he is greedy for money, lustful, hypocritical, but they can't produce actual evidence. Come out a few sour words.Let him kill people, even lending him a hundred guts would not dare.

Zheng Mao's investigation work was very meticulous, and the competitors also checked the Internet one by one, but they did not find it.The Zhou family was in the silk business and had a stable market in Suzhou. Even if Zhou Bingzheng died, the Zhou family would still have someone who could take over, which would have little impact on the business.Businessmen pay attention to making money with harmony, everyone earns money together, and there is no feud between life and death.

All in all, it seems that Zhou Bingzheng's essence can't be seen from the things on the paper. If necessary, he still decided to go to Suzhou again.

But before going, the daughter had to ask about the smeared paper.This idea was given by his daughter, and the more Jiang Wenyuan analyzed it, the more reasonable he felt.

He was born in a serious imperial examination, and he has a natural support and awe for ethics, but after passing the examination, he has been working as a substantive official for more than ten years, advising on farming and mulberry, building water conservancy, and mentioning criminal names. He knows the way to be an official. It is enough to read two books of sages, the livelihood of the people is difficult, and it is not easy to survive.There are too many constraints for him to do a lot of things as a small official, but he is still clear, and he can enforce the law impartially.

There were many vicious homicide cases under his rule. As the general judge, he dared to spare no effort in his duties.Now my heart is at a loss, there is a one in ten thousand possibility, and I need to go all out.

In her sleep, Jiang Jiuying didn't know that the relationship diagram of the characters she drew on a whim aroused Jiang Wenyuan's arrogance in his youth.The original intention to solve the case is even stronger. This time, it is not for the top of the black yarn, not for the bright future, but only for:
Serving as an official will benefit one party!
Ning Shi was listening to the servants in the inner house report on various matters and expenses, and it was so rare to find that her husband who hadn't returned home for a few days suddenly appeared.

"Have you ever used Chaoshi?"

"Do you still have the soup that was delivered that day?" Jiang Wenyuan wanted to try yesterday's breakfast again. The soup base was clear and bright without any trace of oil, but it tasted very mellow and full of aftertaste.

Ning smiled: "That is stewed by your daughter with the chicken soup prepared in advance, plus a lot of ingredients such as crucian carp, shad, sole, lamb ribs, duck, fish maw, dried abalone, etc. It took two Not to mention the time, that soup will cost ten taels of silver."

Where does my daughter's talent in cooking come from?The money was smashed out. She can't forget how many good things Zhang's mother ruined when Jiu Ying was young. If it weren't for their family's solid foundation, they could do whatever they want, and they would have eaten the chaff by now.

"Tsk tsk. It seems that I have to make money as a husband in the future. Otherwise, Yinger's dowry is not enough for her to live." One dish cost him half a month's monthly salary. I don't know if they were in the capital. In an old house, where a large family lives together, the old lady has to criticize how extravagant it is.

"Forget it, this is too time-consuming. I have to leave after eating today. Let's bring some ready-made ones. How about Yinger?" Jiang Wenyuan came back this time mainly to find his daughter.

"Get up, I just sent someone a message to come over to pay my respects." The Buddha of the Yong'an Hou Mansion finally left for Beijing this morning, and she happily sent Cheng Yi off, sending him off like a plague god, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Jiang Jiuying yawned. She went to bed late yesterday, so she didn't think much about it at first, but she heard the news from Mama Du, who was next to her mother, that the Yong'an Hou Mansion sent someone to pick up Xiao Liu's mother and son back to Beijing. She was happy, He even ran away from dozing off, and got up in a hurry.

"Greetings to father and mother." The second son and the youngest daughter accompanied their parents for a morning meal.Under the subtle influence of Jiu Ying, the Jiang family no longer believed in talking when no outsiders were present. They hadn't seen each other for several days, and they had a lot to say, and the dinner table was very lively for a while.

After the meal, Jiang Wenyuan held a cup of honey water and discussed the case with Jiang Jiuying.

"Ying'er, people say that Zhou Bingzheng is upright and forthright, and never makes enemies. Why do you think he is the main target of the murderer?"

"Daddy, my daughter only knows that a truly perfect person will never die on the street unless there is an accident. If you didn't find out, it doesn't mean that this person has no enemies."

"And I conclude that his enemies are probably drawn from female sex."

"But those aunts in his back house are all voluntary concubines. The flower girls in the building are just doing skin and meat business, so there is no relationship."

Jiang Wenyuan's words are similar to the theory of some scumbags in the later generations. I cheated and slept with others, but I only love one person.

Whether it is voluntary or not, men have the final say, and naturally there is no one who is unwilling.

Haha, Jiang Jiuying pouted.
