With a trembling voice, An Chuxia asked about her temperament, and the calmer An Chuxia asked, "Is this true?"

An Chuxia looked at the tears in the woman's eyes and felt that she didn't just study for the imperial examination.

In the woman's eyes, An Chuxia saw the obsession with her elder brother An Jinchen's study of her younger sister.

"Hmm! It's true!" An Chuxia replied affirmatively.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" The woman suddenly covered her face and cried out, her voice seemed to contain unspeakable grievance and hatred.

Seeing his wife crying, the man was full of distress. Since An Chuxia and Bai Yunduo were there, he could only rub his hands anxiously, watching his wife walking back and forth on the ground worriedly.

An Chuxia and Bai Yunduo were not familiar with this family, and they didn't know where to comfort them, so they could only say goodbye so that the man could comfort his wife.

Even if the man couldn't bear his wife's sorrow alone, he still politely sent An Chuxia and the others out, and explained: "You two ladies, please don't misunderstand.

My Juanniang just remembered that my father-in-law and mother-in-law who died unjustly died like this, please don't mind the two girls. "

An Chuxia, who was the parent officer of the county, heard that someone died unjustly, and asked intentionally: "How do you say that, what do you mean your parents-in-law died unjustly.

To be honest, if what you say is true, someone will seek justice for you. "

At this time, the man looked at An Chuxia carefully, and saw that there was an unconcealable majesty in her brows, and suddenly remembered that he had heard that a new female county magistrate had arrived in this county a while ago.

"Plop!" A man knelt on the ground.

An Chuxia looked at the thick snow covering the man's knees, she didn't rush to wake him up, she just looked at him calmly.

Bai Yunduo stood aside, watched quietly and did not speak.

Wei Yuncheng and Zhu Tiehua came over from the carriage not far away, because there was no room for those people in the carriage, and they were the only two who accompanied An Chuxia and Bai Yunduo out today.

Seeing the man kneeling in the snow, the two said to An Chuxia respectfully, "My lord! But what happened?"

Hearing Wei Yuncheng and Zhu Tiehua's address to An Chuxia, the man knew that he had guessed correctly, and wanted to kowtow to An Chuxia again.

I heard An Chuxia say: "Get up! It's freezing, but no one earns money for your wife to study."

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the man slowly stood up.

An Chuxia knew that this was a good man who loved his wife as much as his life, and she had no intention of embarrassing her, so she said, "Tell me about your parents-in-law!"

Seeing An Chuxia, the county magistrate standing in the cold wind, and asking about the grievances of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, the man knew that she was a really good official.

To cut a long story short: "..."

Bai Yunduo on the carriage looked at An Chuxia with slightly closed eyes, and sat there quietly without disturbing her, knowing that she was thinking about what the man said just now.

An Chuxia thought about sending someone to investigate the man named Situ Feng after going back, whether what he said was true.

However, An Chuxia shouldn't have lied when he observed the man.

He said that his wife had in her hand the contract that the Guo family's grandparents gave to his father-in-law and second uncle Guo Guanlin to separate the family, and it also had the signatures of the village chief and an elder of the Guo family.

According to Situ Feng, when Guo's parents separated from generation to generation, Guo Guanlin listened to his business wife's brother-in-law and asked for almost all the money in the family.

Only leave the thousands of acres of land in the family to the honest and responsible elder brother and his wife.

The treacherous and selfish Guo Guanlin took away almost twice as much money as the land shared by his eldest brother and sister-in-law.

The most hateful thing is not that he has distributed more property, but that he is in business and loses all his money.He even came back with a whole family, and lived in the old house of Guo's family that was assigned to the eldest brother and his wife.

In the end, he colluded with Chen Wenchao, a bully who relied on his uncle to be the policeman, and wanted to send his beautiful niece to be a concubine, which made the eldest brother and his wife mad.

I heard from Situ Feng that he and Guo Xiujuan became husband and wife by chance.

When he was chased by a wild boar, he happened to pass by and rescued him, and he owed himself a favor. With the help of the old master, the incident was considered to have come to an end.

An Chuxia now thinks that the death of Guo Guansen and his wife is a bit strange, even if Guo Guanlin is planning to send Guo Xiujuan to be a concubine, a good person will not be easily pissed off without serious illness or disaster.

But it's useless to think so much now, wait until the investigation is clear, and then see how the situation is.

After An Chuxia came back, he ordered Wei Yuncheng, who was careful in his work, and Zuo Wang, who was good at searching for evidence, to investigate the affairs of Landlord Guo's house in Guozhuang Village.

He still accompanied Bai Yunduo, and took Zhu Tiehua and An Zixi to recruit students for her. Otherwise, next year Bai Yunduo would teach her, and he would be the bare commander alone.

Besides, it was An Chuxia's responsibility to recruit students. The county had produced excellent students, which were also useful to her political achievements.

In the entire Wei County, there were only a hundred students accumulated in the past, and in the end only a dozen were willing to study in the county school next year.

This is because they are all children from poor families who cannot afford to study far away and have been suspended from school for several years.

However, Bai Yunduo was very pleased with just these dozen or so students. At least next year, there would be students in the county school to teach, which would be better than just her and someone teaching Lin Xiucai.

Accompanying Bai Yunduo to finish recruiting students, the time for the Chinese New Year is approaching.

Because there is nothing to do in the yamen, An Chuxia asked everyone to have a holiday at 23 Xiaonian.

Zuo Wang and Wei Yuncheng investigated the Guo family's affairs, and found out all the superficial evidence. As for the death of Guo Xiujuan's parents, An Chuxia planned to wait until the end of the new year.

Even if she suspected that the death of Guo Xiujuan's parents might have been drugged, and even if she had to open the coffin for an autopsy, the land in the north was as frozen as iron at the moment, and she would not be able to dig until the spring thawed next year.

Years ago, An Chuxia received an unexpected guest. The old village head of Yuande Village took his son, several villagers, and the old hen at home to thank An Chuxia.

Thanks to her for teaching the villagers to soak bean sprouts and finding a market for them, each of their families has an income of a few taels of silver this winter.

These silver coins are nothing to rich and noble families, but to ordinary people like them, it can make the whole family have a good year.

An Chuxia left the old village head and the others to eat at home, and ordered people to go to the street to buy pastries and brown sugar as gifts in return, and asked them to take them home for the children at home.

The old village head and several villagers sat on the bullock cart, looking at it with embarrassment, there were bags of pastries and brown sugar.

The five chickens they sent may not even be able to buy two packs of pastries here. The old village head felt very sorry, and made the county magistrate spend money again.
