Cure the cold-faced general by solving crimes

Chapter 44 You are an amazing girl
  Jiang Xihe went back to Yong'an Lane in the morning and took a look around. Sand, gravel and earthwork had been piled neatly at the entrance of the lane. Many familiar villagers were delivering materials to each house in an orderly manner under the command of the bricklayer.

There were government officials watching the scene, and everyone was very energetic.

Pei Zhizhao told her yesterday that her family had arranged for Niu Zhuang to help take care of her, and Jiang Xihe did not need to appear at the scene. On the one hand, she did not understand, and on the other hand, Pei Zhizhao was worried that she, a girl, would not have to deal with these people.

There was nothing of value in the house, so Jiang Xihe was happy to be free, and she felt relieved to leave the house to Pei Zhizhao anyway.

So after walking around and not seeing much, Jiang Xihe went to Caishikou to buy vegetables.

Carrying the ingredients and walking back, Jiang Xihe saw a sign at the door of Wensitang, saying that books were processed at low prices.

Jiang Xihe made a mental calculation. She could read if there were any books on autopsy and learn a little bit about it. Even if she was not proficient, she would be able to be more calm in the future whether writing a complaint or encountering a case in the Yamen.

Boss Yan from Wensi Hall was burying his head in sorting books. He raised his head when he heard the voice and saw Jiang Xihe coming in. A smile instantly appeared on his face, "Why is Lawyer Jiang here?"

"Boss Yan's business is good. Do you have any books on autopsy?"

Boss Yan was stunned, "Why do you want this book too?"

Jiang Xihe was also stunned, "Does anyone else want this book?"

"Yes, I do have a copy here, but it was just bought by someone."

Jiang Xihe was annoyed, "Why is it so unfortunate? Boss Yan only has one copy?"

"Yeah, no one buys this kind of book. Ever since Wensi Hall was founded, the book has been here. I still thought, if no one buys it anymore, I can just give it to anyone."

Jiang Xihe was disappointed.

Yan Guangfeng was helpless, "Why don't Miss Jiang read other books? Why do you still need to read the autopsy books when you are writing a complaint?"

"Hey, study, it's not a bad thing to learn more."

Jiang Xihe looked around regretfully and found that there were many books piled on the table on the floor of Wensi Hall. Some were bundled, some bundles were marked with five texts, and some bundles were marked with ten texts, piled together casually.

There was also a lot of space on the bookshelf in the corner. Thinking of the low-price sign at the door, Jiang Xihe was suspicious, "Boss Yan, what are you doing? Are you quitting?"

Yan Guangfeng turned his head and said with a gloomy expression, "Well, I'm quitting. I'll deal with it and split it up with money."

"Why?" Jiang Xihe knew that Wensitang had been in business for many years since Boss Yan's ancestors.

Yan Guangfeng shook his head, "I'm not good at management and I can't do it anymore."

Jiang Xihe didn't believe it, "How is that possible? The business here has always been good, how can we, the largest bookstore in the west of the city, not be able to continue? The corner of the place is good. Look at the heavy rain a few days ago, nothing happened here. This is a geomantic treasure."

Yan Guangfeng's eyes suddenly turned red. Seeing that this middle-aged man was about to cry, Jiang Xihe became even more curious, "Boss Yan, what happened? Tell me, and I will definitely help you if there is anything I can do to help you."

Yan Guangfeng opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "Forget it, I don't want to talk about my family's scandal."

Jiang Xihe sighed, "I feel sorry for this place. If Boss Yan doesn't work, he can cash it out, and he can make money by selling books. It's a pity to dispose of bundles of books like this."

The book seller's cherishment of books was exposed by Jiang Xihe. Yan Guangfeng wiped the moist corners of his eyes and said, "I don't want to either, but there is nothing I can do. The brothers are going to separate their families. Everyone has a stake in this shop. What can I do?"

Jiang Xihe is not very familiar with Yan Guangfeng, but she has lived in the west of the city since she was a child. She also knows the general situation of every household here. There are three brothers in the Yan family and a sister. The four brothers and sisters are already married. Why is this? Is it time to separate the family?

"What happened? Boss Yan, if you don't mind talking to me, I'm a lawyer. I can help you somewhat, right?" Jiang Xihe put down the ingredients in his hands and leaned on the counter, with a sincere look on his face.

Yan Guangfeng was moved. He really couldn't bear to part with this shop. "It's a long story, Miss Jiang. If you can really help me tide over the difficulties, I will definitely thank you very much." Jiang Xihe liked the last two words and smiled happily, " Boss Yan, please tell me quickly."

······
  Jiang Xihe walked out of Wensitang and lowered her head to think about Boss Yan's situation. Based on what she just learned, she was confident that she could help Yan Guangfeng win this lawsuit.

But Boss Yan didn't want to make it public, nor did he want to go to court with his brothers.

What to do?
  Jiang Xihe lowered his head, carrying the vegetables, thinking about how to write the complaint and how to negotiate with the Yan family brothers and sisters. Suddenly, a figure stood directly in front of Jiang Xihe.

A black shadow enveloped her, and Jiang Xihe took a step back in fright.

"What are you thinking about?" The deep and cold male voice was next to his ears, and it was actually Pei Zhizhao.

"Sir!" Jiang Xihe's voice was full of surprise, "Why are you here?"

The sun was just right at noon, and the summer breeze blew from Pei Zhizhao's shoulders to Jiang Xihe's forehead. Both of them saw a slight smile in each other's eyes.

Pei Zhizhao discovered that Jiang Xihe was wearing the cyan dress he bought and put on embroidered shoes. The layers of flowers on the skirt made her figure more graceful.

Pei Zhizhao withdrew his gaze and shook a book in his hand, "I passed by the alley in front and bought a book on autopsy. I plan to go back and read it."

Jiang Xihe didn't know what to say, and his smile deepened, "Master Pei, I want to say that I have just come out of Wensi Hall and I am going to buy books. Do you believe it?"

Pei Zhizhao's eyes curled up invisibly, "There is only one copy, and it's here with me."

"That's right, I'm still upset."

Pei Zhizhao's eyes were heavy, "Why do you want to buy this book?"

Jiang Xihe was embarrassed, "I had this idea the last time something happened to Meng Fang. There is no autopsy in Ping'an County, and no one is willing to do it. There was another murder case yesterday. I want to learn autopsy. No matter how far I can learn it in the end, I want to Try it."

Pei Zhizhao saw the tiny light shining in Jiang Xihe's eyes, just like when he first met him, and his small body seemed to contain huge energy.

Pei Zhizhao took the ingredients from Jiang Xihe's hand and handed the book to her, "You take it and read it first. There are many books on this in the county government office. If you want to learn, I support you, but..."

Jiang Xihe asked, "But what?"

"Walking is a very hard job. No man is willing to do it, let alone a girl like you. Even though I am a civilized person, I have never heard of any state where women are working as a wimp."

Jiang Xihe happily flipped through the book and patted his heart, "Then I will make it for you."

The light in her eyes caused ripples deep in his heart.

"You became a lawyer, and you went to Qingfeng Village to rescue me. Based on these two points alone, you are already an amazing girl."

Jiang Xihe's face heated up. The compliment was unexpected and very helpful.

Pei Zhizhao picked up the dishes in his hand and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do for lunch?"

"Braised pork ribs, stir-fried vegetables, the pork belly is good today, and I will make meat-filled wontons for adults to stew in the evening."

Pei Zhizhao likes Jiang Xihe to arrange his three meals a day. At this time, he will feel very warm. The most gorgeous fireworks in the world are just the smoke rising from the kitchen.
