Daliang female chief assistant

Chapter 13
As the saying goes: the county magistrate of flowing water, the county magistrate of iron.

Zhou Shu's new official took office, and those government servants didn't take her seriously.

After being scolded, he still reached out to grab the little girl.

Zhang Mao'an wasn't worried that she would get angry, he just smiled.

"Master Zhou, this troublemaker will be honest after a beating."

After finishing speaking, he motioned to those yamen servants to take him down.

The little girl was terrified, and tightly clenched Zhou Shu's robe with her little hands.

"My lord, I didn't lie, please, don't let them take me away." There was a cry in the voice.

Zhou Shu's eyes were flushed, and he hugged the person into his arms, "Don't worry, brother will not let anyone hurt you."

The eyes staring at Zhang Maoan were scarlet, as if they were about to burst into flames.

"Zhang Mao'an, I am the county magistrate of Siyi County. If you take the lead and commit crimes, what should you do?"

"Lord Zhou, the downgrade is also for your own good, to prevent you from being blinded by this unruly man, right from wrong, how can you commit the crime above?"

"Whether you have been deceived or not, I have my own judgment, and it's not your turn to make the decision for me."

Glancing over at those yamen servants, "You guys are still not backing down!"

She is imposing and chilling.

The yamen servants who were going to arrest people looked at each other and went down.

Watching the yamen servants leave with cold eyes, Zhang Maoan laughed back angrily, and squeezed out a word from between his teeth.

"I don't intend to offend you, I hope you will forgive me."

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.

As soon as Zhang Maoan left, Zhou Shu comforted the little girl in his arms and asked her name.

The little girl has not fully recovered from the shock just now.

A pair of big deer-like eyes glanced left and right, and replied softly, "My lord, my name is Ah Hua."

"Ah Hua." Zhou Shu knelt down and looked at her at the same level, "You just said that your grandma was locked up by the county magistrate, and where is it, do you know?"

A Hua shook her head, Zhou Shu asked again: "Then do you know what's wrong with your grandma?"

What disease would make Zhang Maoan not hesitate to hide him?
She didn't dare to think about it. The next moment, she heard Ah Hua say: "The county magistrate said that grandma is sick and will infect many people, so she has to be locked up."

Will it be contagious, is it a plague?
Zhou Shu was shocked. If it was true what A Hua said, her grandma got the plague, and people would be even more panicked in the future.

Not daring to think about it any further, Zhou Shu took Ah Hua and handed her over to Qiu Min not far away.

"Qiu Min, this is Ah Hua, you take her back to the county government office and hand her over to Fu Xiu, and ask Fu Xiu to wash her up and change into clean clothes."

At the end, he added, "Remember, tell Fu Xiu to take good care of her, and don't let other people take her away."

"Yes, son."

Zhou Shu looked down at Ah Hua again, "Ah Hua, you go home with this brother first, and when your brother rescues your grandma, your grandparents and grandchildren will be reunited."

"Thank you, magistrate."

Ah Hua obediently bowed to her, then followed Qiu Min and walked away step by step.

Zhou Shu looked at A'hua's leaving back, his eyes gradually turned cold.

When the back in front shrinks into a ball and can no longer be seen, turn around and walk in another direction.

Wang Youxian had already led people to build a disaster shed for temporary living. Seeing Zhou Shu approaching, he immediately went up to meet him.

"Master Zhou, my side is almost done, how about your side?"

"Injured common people, I have already shown the doctor." Her tone was not very joyful.

Seeing that her expression was not bad, Wang Youxian couldn't help asking, "Master Zhou, what happened? Why do you have such an expression?"

Hearing this, Zhou Shu took a deep breath and told him his guess.

After Wang Youxian listened, his expression was also very solemn.

"Master Zhou, do you mean that Zhang Maoan deliberately knew about it and did not report it?"

"Yeah." Zhou Shu nodded, "I asked him about the whereabouts of the rest of the victims just now, and he was sure that I couldn't find those people, so he acted recklessly, even trying to kill Ah Hua in front of me."

"This man is really bold."

Wang Youxian was furious, wishing he could be arrested immediately.

Zhou Shu stopped him, "General Wang, don't be impulsive."

"Lord Zhou, I follow His Majesty's decree to investigate and deal with corrupt officials together with the young master. Why can't I arrest Zhang Mao'an who is so reckless about human life?"

"These are all speculations by you and me. There is no evidence. If you act impulsively and get caught by him, and bite back, you and I will be passive."

"Then let him be so arrogant?"

When did he suffer from such uselessness?
Wang Youxian shook off Zhou Shu's hand that was holding him, and it was better to lead troops to fight, just do it, unlike now, controlled by others, suffocated!
"of course not."

Zhang Maoan dared to act like this, because he concluded that someone above him could protect him.

The one who can have such a great ability is either the prince or the king of Qin.

Once she gets to the bottom of it, she will definitely fall into the vortex of power struggle.

But now the people in Siyi County are in dire straits, if she is to turn a blind eye and choose to be wise and protect herself, she can't do it.

Zhou Shu squeezed his hands hidden under his sleeves tightly, and said with a firm determination: "General Wang, I have a plan, but this matter still needs the cooperation of the young master and you."

"what's the plan?"

"I can't say it yet."

"What else can't be said?" Wang Youxian was impatient, and she aroused his curiosity, as if there were many small hooks in his heart, scratching his heart and lungs anxiously.

But Zhou Shu kept silent.

When night fell, Wang Youxian couldn't bear it anymore, went straight to her room, raised his hand and patted the door.

"Master Zhou."

He didn't hear any response, and he didn't care so much, so he just pushed the door open and walked in.

The room was empty.

Wang Youxian scratched the back of his head in confusion, "Where did you go?"

Zhou Shu still doesn't know about Wang Youxian breaking into her room in the middle of the night.

Holding the teacup in both hands, eyelashes trembled slightly, and gently blew on the top layer of froth.

He bowed his head and took a sip.

Wen Yuting spent all his time staring at her movements, "Zhuangyuan Lang is really meticulous."

"Young Lord, there is no one in private, you can just call the official name."

"A Ci?"

Zhou Shu's eyes flickered, and he asked again: "Is this your small print?"

"Yes, the elders gave me a long speech."

"Long speech." Wen Yuting repeated those two words, his fingertips were wet with water, and he stroked each stroke, "But it was written like this?"

"Yes." Zhou Shu stared at the two words in a daze, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a long time, a big hand waved in front of her eyes.

"What are you thinking about? You're so preoccupied? I don't care when I talk to you."

"Xiaguan is thinking about the missing victims." When she said this, her eyes were erratic.

Obviously, she lied.

Wen Yuting didn't expose her either.

"What do you think?"

"Xiaguan would like to ask the young master to cooperate in a play."

Hearing the word "acting", Wen Yuting became interested, "Tell me, how will this play be performed?"

"I heard that there is a hunting ground outside Xiangzhou City, and now it's the season of spring hunting."

Hearing this, he had a faint guess in his heart.

But he really didn't like Zhou Shu's temperament of leaving half of what he said and making people guess.

Throwing the lid of the cup on the teacup casually, eyebrows and eyes are flying, so wanton.

"What I hate the most in my life is pretending to be profound. If you really want my help, just speak up and don't play charades here."

I don't know which sentence touched his Ni Lin, but Wen Yuting's brows were full of hostility.

Zhou Shu stood up and made amends: "Please forgive me, my little lord. I'm not pretending to be profound. I just want to ask my little lord to make a fuss about going hunting tomorrow and ride out of the city alone."
