After I woke up, my whole family eavesdropped on my thoughts and changed my life against the will of

Village entrance.

Zheng Yanjin and two government servants wrapped the woman's body in white cloth and carried it to a cart.

He touched his chin and observed the current on the shore.

The river east of Qingshan Village flows down from Shangxi Village.

The terrain of Shangxi Village is high and the water flow is fast. It ends at Qingshan Village. It is not impossible that someone dumped their body from Shangxi Village and ended up here.

But it cannot be ruled out that someone killed the person and dumped him directly in Qingshan Village.

He looked at the woman just now and found that her belly was empty and all her internal organs were missing.

Apart from the marks on his back, there were no other injuries.

We can only know who this woman is when she is brought back to the government office for an autopsy.

But what surprised him the most was that someone at home was missing, and why no one reported it to the police?During this period, he did not receive any cases of missing persons, and he did not rule out the possibility that family members were responsible.

"County Magistrate Zheng." Su Huaiyi came over with Su Yun.

[Master Zheng actually came in person, he is indeed a good official. 】

Su Yun praised her heartily.

Zheng Yanjin turned around and said, "Su Yun, did you catch this woman?"

"Yes, I fished her out when I saw her floating on the water." Su Yun nodded.

Zheng Yanjin asked, "Where did you meet me?"

"In the middle of the river, the woman suddenly floated up." Su Yun replied after thinking carefully.

Zheng Yanjin was speechless for a moment. He asked someone to turn the female body over and lift the white cloth to see the injuries on her back.

Seeing the strangulation marks on it, he was thoughtful.

If it suddenly floated up, it is not ruled out that the person was killed and tied to a big rock to sink the body.

The female corpse did not rot, and the body was not eaten by fish.It can be determined that the time of death was no more than one day.

But if the rope breaks, it is not impossible for the body to float up.

To verify my guesses.

He plunged into the river and swam slowly to the bottom.

"Sir." The two officials shouted anxiously from the shore.

Su Yun thought for a while and said, "Magistrate Zheng suspected that someone had buried the body, so he went down to see what happened."

The two officials were not so panicked now and kept staring at the river.

Time passed little by little, but there was still no movement on the water.

When Zheng Yanjin saw the scene in front of him at the bottom of the river, his eyes flashed with uncontrollable anger.

Two naked female corpses were tied to two big stones, and there was a big stone next to them holding down the loosened hemp ropes.

He took out his dagger and cut them off one by one.

Two corpses surfaced, and Zheng Yanjin broke through the water.

After he landed on the shore, his inner strength evaporated, and his wet hair and official robe became dry in an instant.

[How come there are two corpses, and each one is naked, and the abdomen is empty, not even a intestine. 】

Su Huaiyi reflexively covered Su Yun's eyes.After hearing what was in his heart, he realized that Guaiguai was not an ordinary child, and then he put down his hand.

[Why is my father covering my eyes? ] Su Yun was confused.

Chief Su came forward.

"Magistrate Zheng, these three women are very unfamiliar. They are not from our Qingshan Village."

The corpses were all placed on the cart and wrapped tightly in white cloth.

Zheng Yanjin nodded slightly, "During this period, girls in your village of seventeen or eighteen should try not to go out."

"Yes." Chief Su agreed.

The three female corpses just now were all in the age of seventeen or eighteen. This matter is not trivial, so naturally we should take it seriously.

Zheng Yanjin waved his hand, and the two cadres pulled the cart away together.

……

Shen time.

"Su Xingxue!" Su Huaiyi was furious, "Did you make my Langhao pen?"

He walked towards the center of the courtyard, still holding the Langhao pen in his hand.The soft bristles of the pen were now split, and they were rubbed one by one.

Mrs. Li spread a straw mat and sewed a quilt cover in the center of the courtyard, and Su Xingxue was rolling on it.She heard Su Huaiyi's roar and crawled into Li's arms.

"I'm afraid~"

"You're a ghost and you're still afraid. That's your father's favorite brush. You can find it in a mouse hole." Mrs. Li nodded at Su Xingxue's forehead.

Su Ruiwen covered his chest with a look of regret.

He shook his head like a little old man and sighed.

[Hahaha, I was laughing so hard. ] Su Yun laughed wildly in her heart, but her face was serious.

Su Huaiyi glared at Su Yun and carried Su Xingxue aside.

He found a pile of flax that had been prepared.

"Rub, you are not allowed to eat until you finish rubbing today. Don't you love rubbing? You rubbed hard today." Su Huaiyi gritted his teeth.

Su Xingxue looked at everyone in the family pitifully, and everyone pretended not to see it.

She could only rub the hemp rope.

When shopkeeper Zhang came, he saw Xiaoyi twisting the hemp rope, while Su Huaiyi was supervising the work behind him.

When something goes wrong, I will give you guidance from time to time.

"Ahem~" Shopkeeper Zhang made a deliberate noise.

Su Huaiyi went to greet him, "Why is shopkeeper Zhang here today? The bank note matter has been settled?"

"It's settled, Xiao Xiao has been caught. Queen Qiu will behead him on the street!" Shopkeeper Zhang led two guards.

He waved, and the guard took out a square wooden box.

After opening it, there is a new version of the banknote inside.

"Huaiyi, take a look."

Su Huaiyi took one and looked at it carefully. This banknote was similar to the previous one, except that there was a special gold line crossing the banknote in the middle.There are also four words of caution written below, and those who commit fraud should be punished.

"Very good. This will greatly increase the cost, and no one will bother to make fake products anymore."

"In one month, Jubao Bank will only circulate the new version of banknotes, and the old ones will be recycled within a month." Shopkeeper Zhang said with a smile.

He sent the wooden box to Su Huaiyi.

"A small token of thanks."

"Need not."

"If you hadn't used it, there would have been chaos." Shopkeeper Zhang directly put the wooden box into Su Huaiyi's arms.

Su Huaiyi declined, "This is what I should do. Since I carved the mold for Jubao Bank, I should be responsible to the end."

"Let's see, let's not say anything more. Just as you are here, my banknotes will be exchanged for new ones."

"Okay." Shopkeeper Zhang didn't give in when he heard this.

"Old lady, take out our banknotes." Su Huaiyi shouted.

Mrs. Li put down her needlework and returned to the house.

She first took out the more than 1000 taels that Su Huaiyi had hidden, but felt a little worried.

She also had some banknotes. If she took them all out, the old man would see that the number was wrong and he would definitely not be able to tell.

Forget it, there was still a month left anyway, so she would look for an opportunity to go to the bank to exchange money.

Li took the banknote and successfully exchanged it for a new version of the banknote.

After talking about the business, Shopkeeper Zhang looked at Su Xingxue.

He was very fond of this little doll and couldn't bear it.

"Huaiyi, if you let a child who is a little over one year old rub a hemp rope, aren't you afraid that your granddaughter's hands will be bruised?"

Su Xingxue stopped and deliberately showed her reddish palms.

She looked at shopkeeper Zhang pitifully.

"Xingxue made a mistake. If he is not punished, others will teach him outside. In this case, I, as an elder, must teach my children well to prevent a big disaster outside." Su Huaiyi looked stern.

Shopkeeper Zhang nodded, "That makes sense!"

Su Xingxue's newly brewed tears stopped in her eyes, in disbelief.

Su Ruiwen snorted, "That's right~"
