Cure the cold-faced general by solving crimes

Chapter 30 Whoever wins gets which one
  County Office
  After listening to Han Fang's report, Pei Zhizhao kept his face downcast. Han Fang couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Han Fang was thinking that Miss Jiang fainted in the backyard a few days ago, and the General happened to be standing next to her. The moment Miss Jiang fainted, the General took her into his arms. Han Fang always felt that from that day on, the General It seems to be a little different.

So when he heard that Jiang Xihe had hit a wall at the Li family just before noon, and Mrs. Li had humiliated her, he quickly mentioned the matter while reporting the matter.

Looking at Pei Zhizhao's expression, although he didn't say anything, Han Fang still vaguely felt that Pei Zhizhao was in a bad mood and seemed to be worried about Miss Jiang.

"General, Miss Jiang is very strong. It is not easy for her to face this alone now."

Pei Zhizhao hummed and asked, "How is Xiangzhu Academy doing?"

"According to the general's instructions, it was fine yesterday. There were more than 20 of us training there just now, and it was very good."

Pei Zhizhao was very satisfied, "You take one hundred taels of silver from my private treasury, and I will go out."

······
  After Jiang Xihe came back from Li's house, he sat in the room and thought for a long time.

Mother Li has now made her words clear. She had known that this day would happen, so she didn't feel sad. She felt sad because she couldn't borrow the money.

Just now in front of everyone, she wanted to tell her father's support for Li Chengye, but if she broke up like that, the money would not come out. If Li's mother said something unpleasant again, her father would be sad if he knew it.

Forget it, since it's one or two breaks, it doesn't make sense no matter how unclear it is.

Just what to do next?
  Xie Qiyuan has money, but she doesn't want to borrow it from him. The Xie family master doesn't want to see her. She doesn't want to cause trouble to Xie Qiyuan, nor does she want to get involved with Xie Qiyuan because of the money.

She had already understood Master Xie's attitude towards her that day at the county government office.

Li Chengye can withstand Mother Li's threat. She doesn't want Xie Qiyuan to choose between her and his family. Maybe she is destined to only have one left in her life!
  There were footsteps in the courtyard, and Jiang Xihe wiped her eyes randomly. She was not a fragile person, so why did her tears always fall unconsciously?
  Looking up, Pei Zhizhao walked in.

"Master Pei."

Jiang Xihe stood up. She remembered that Pei Zhizhao had been by her side when she was in a coma. Her heart was sour and a sense of grievance welled up in her heart.

Pei Zhizhao entered the room and looked around. He saw leftover steamed buns on the table and gruel in the bowl. He asked softly, "Have you eaten?"

"Yes." Jiang Xihe simply replied.

The little girl lowered her head, revealing half of her snow-white neck. She wore a blue floral cloth and her already beautiful figure was even more slim.

Pei Zhizhao sat on the chair and took out a small cloth bag from his sleeve pocket, "This is one hundred taels of silver, please keep it."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xihe suddenly raised his head.

"Xiangzhu Academy has been sorted out and let you rent it out at the market price. You haven't replied to me yet. Don't worry. Once the rent is calculated, you will deduct it from it. If there is any surplus, the remaining money will be yours. wages.

"Salary?" Jiang Xihe was confused.

"You are familiar with Ping'an County. I need you somewhere." Pei Zhizhao pondered for a moment, and suddenly a trace of loneliness flashed across his face. "Now is not the time. I think it's time. These are your commissions."

Jiang Xihe wanted to ask clearly, but Pei Zhizhao looked very sad. She thought about herself, did Mr. Pei also have a heartbroken past?
  Jiang Xihe didn't ask, the room darkened, and something surged between the two people.

"Jiang Xifeng is the only Juren in Ping'an County, and it is also the glory of Ping'an County. I am the county magistrate, and I will be in charge of Jiang Juren's funeral. If you have any ideas, just tell me."

Jiang Xihe's eyes filled with mist.

He was still the same person, with a cold face and a rare smile for her, but Jiang Xihe felt a sense of intimacy. She hoped that someone would give her support, so Pei Zhizhao stretched out his hand.

Just when Jiang Xihe was about to speak, Pei Zhizhao was afraid that she would shirk, so he immediately said, "You deserve the salary. If you shirk, you will never have the opportunity to work in the county government again. You have to think clearly. In addition, I want your help." , and it’s all within your capabilities, so you don’t have to worry.”

Pei Zhizhao pushed the cloth bag containing the silver to her, "You deserve it."

Jiang Xihe really couldn't think of an excuse to refuse. Pei Zhizhao was a cold person. After a period of contact with him, there was nothing objectionable about him. On the contrary, he made people trust and admire him in everything he did.

"Thank you, Mr. Pei."

Pei Zhizhao was very satisfied, "I have written to Yuelu Academy to inquire in detail about Jiang Juren's accident, so that we can write an obituary." Pei Zhizhao actually did this silently, and Jiang Xihe was shocked and could not say a word.

Pei Zhizhao looked at her indifferently. The little girl lowered her head and clasped her hands in front of her body. There was deep loss and helplessness hidden in her brows and eyes.

She is completely different from the sharp-tongued, strong-willed little girl from before. She should be lively, with a smile on her face, carefree, and her mind full of calculations on how to make money, and she does her job without any loss.

"Xiangzhu Academy has changed. Do you want to take a look?" Pei Zhizhao asked.

Jiang Xihe raised his eyes. There was something in Pei Zhizhao's eyes that she couldn't understand, but he was waiting for her to agree.

Jiang Xihe nodded.

Xiangzhu Academy is the legacy of the ancestors of the Jiang family. After Jiang passed the examination to become a scholar, he became the only scholar in Ping'an County.

At that time, Jiang Xihe had just been born, so Father Jiang renovated this place and established Xiangzhu Academy, hoping that more children would come to study in Ping'an County. Later, Father Jiang taught everyone what he had learned throughout his life here, and Jiang Xihe also received enlightenment here. .

Stepping into the courtyard, Jiang Xihe felt waves in his heart.

After Jiang's father passed away, his brother taught here for a few months. Before he went to Yuelu Academy, all the students in the academy left. Jiang Xihe had no ability to continue running the place. The last time she came, the weeds here had grown half a person's height.

Today, the courtyard is flat, the gate is solid, and the four characters "Xiang Bamboo Academy" on the plaque are strong and powerful.

"This word is so beautiful." Jiang Xihe praised softly.

Pei Zhizhao walked beside her, tilted his head to look at the plaque, and looked away indifferently.

Entering the courtyard, there were many weapons placed against the walls on both sides. All the weeds were gone, the road was smooth, the corridor was winding, the palace door was open, and the broken windows had been repaired.

Jiang Xihe didn't know why, but there was mist in his eyes. This was not like her. She shouldn't get hurt so easily.

"Master Pei, thank you."

Jiang Xihe could only say these few words.

Pei Zhizhao walked to the weapons rack, reached for a bow, weighed its weight, took out a few arrows from the quiver, and walked back to Jiang Xihe.

"Ever played?"

Jiang Xihe shook his head.

"Come."

Pei Zhizhao walked five steps under the eaves and put the bow in Jiang Xihe's hand: "Try it."

Pei Zhizhao pointed to several wooden signs floating on the eaves.

Jiang Xihe looked at him.

She had been to Xiangzhu Academy many times, but there were no wooden signs like these at the corner of the eaves.

Jiang Xihe raised his head and vaguely noticed that there seemed to be words on the wooden sign.

Pei Zhizhao walked behind Jiang Xihe and held up her arm. Jiang Xihe was hugged by Pei Zhizhao in front of him.

Pei Zhizhao was more than half a head taller than her. Jiang Xihe held his breath, leaving a clear scent of pinewood in his nose. With his back pressed against his broad and strong chest, Jiang Xihe blushed suddenly and the bow and arrow in his hand whirred. It shot out from the ground and hit the bullseye of the wooden sign.

Jiang Xihe was confused, and also felt a sense of joy. She had no idea how the bow and arrow shot out of her hand, but she hit it.

Pei Zhizhao walked to the eaves, reached for the wooden sign, and handed it to Jiang Xihe. The wooden sign had a hundred words written on it.

"There are a total of ten taels of silver here. Let me play with you. You can take whatever you hit. Now..." Pei Zhizhao said in a long tone: "You have a hundred coins!"

Jiang Xihe listened blankly and laughed!
