Chapter 241 Return to the Countryside

Qiu Bo is one of the coroners in the Criminal Justice Department, and he is also the one who has stayed in the Criminal Justice Department the longest.

After hearing what Lord Shen said, Qiu Bo hurriedly stopped and saluted towards Lord Shen and Shen Yixu with a solemn face. When his eyes fell on the little girl who was following beside them, his eyes flickered slightly, but soon returned to normal.

"Reporting to the Lord! No other discoveries have been made yet!"

Qiu Bo sighed and felt a little embarrassed.

Lord Shen nodded without saying anything more. Instead, he just waved his hand and let the other party go first.

After the person left, Lord Shen continued to speak.

"Xiao Yunjin, why don't we go in and take a look first!"

At this moment, he placed his last hope on a little girl.

If it were in the past, he would definitely sneer at his current choice, but since he saw the little girl's ability, he no longer had any doubts.

Jiang Yunjin nodded and followed Lord Shen into the house, followed by Shen Yixu.

A group of three people entered the house.

The room was dark. Shen Yixu lit the oil lamp and followed the little girl holding the lamp, just to illuminate the way for her.

Under the guidance of Lord Shen, Jiang Yunjin soon arrived at the place where the corpses were placed. He saw that the corpses in front of him were covered with a layer of white cloth. It was not until Shen Yixu came over that the white cloth was lifted.

In an instant, several white bones came into Jiang Yunjin's sight.

Shen Yixu, who was standing by, saw this scene and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the little girl's expression. He saw that her face was full of solemnity. She was standing on a bench very seriously, measuring the size of the skull with her hands.

The little girl measured all the corpses, then got off the stool anxiously and ran straight to the drawing paper that had been prepared long ago.

"Brother, this..."

"Shh!"

Lord Shen hushed and stopped Shen Yixu who was about to speak. Both of them looked towards the little girl's position with nervous expressions.

Jiang Yunjin held the charcoal pencil in his hand and outlined the outline stroke by stroke.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Until three hours later.

Jiang Yunjin rubbed his sore wrist, put down the charcoal pencil, and then greeted the two people who were standing not far away like petrified.

"Brother Shen, Brother Shen, please come and take a look!"

Jiang Yunjin called the two of them over and made room for them so that they could see more clearly.

only…

Lord Shen and Shen Yixu picked up the five newly drawn sketches and after looking at them one by one, they couldn't help but frown.

Apparently, they had never seen these children either.

"Brother, leave this to me!"

Shen Yixu bowed, took the portrait and turned to leave.

After he could no longer see the figure, Lord Shen withdrew his gaze and fell on the little girl standing beside him with a tired look on her face.

"You must be exhausted! Let's go. Today, the palace has delivered some freshly made pastries. Since you are here, how about trying some? If they are not tasty, I will ask the palace to improve them!"

Lord Shen said this and took the little girl away.

It was not until he entered the main hall that Jiang Yunjin remembered the purpose of his visit. When he raised his head, his eyes fell on several food boxes on the table.

"Big brother, I just brought you some crayfish and fruits today, you can take them home and bring them to your family to taste!"

The family members she was talking about were Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen, and Mrs. Shen.

When Lord Shen heard the word "crayfish", his eyes lit up instantly. Obviously, he didn't expect that the little girl came to give him crayfish today.

The last time he went back, he told his family about the bloodworms and described their taste. Unexpectedly, this caused resentment among his family.

He thought about going to Jiang's shop to buy some and bring them home so that his family can enjoy them together. Unexpectedly...

The little girl actually delivered it to the door in person.

Lord Shen was so happy that he could hardly maintain his cold expression. He put his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly, then he spoke slowly.

"Since this is the girl's sincere wish, Shen will naturally not refuse!"

After he finished speaking, he asked the servants to bring the cakes.

Jiang Yunjin looked at the several plates of delicious food in front of him and naturally started eating without any hesitation.

These pastries have an exquisite appearance and a very delicate taste, and the sweetness is just right, not too sweet.

Her favorable comment resulted in a take-away meal.

After drawing the sketch, she had nothing else to do. If there was a need later, she would naturally do her best to help.

She took this month's salary and the cakes she had just packed and ran out of the prison happily.

"go home."

She shouted to the servant and climbed onto the carriage. As the carriage started slowly, she sat in it with a happy face.

What made her happy was not the cake, but the recognition.

After returning to the Jiang family, Jiang Yunjin lifted the curtain and was about to get off the carriage. Unexpectedly, before he could move, he saw someone driving a carriage straight towards the Jiang family.

The person who came looked hurried, with a hint of joy on his brows.

It’s the butler!
"Uncle housekeeper?"

Jiang Yunjin spoke tentatively, called out to him to dismount, and was about to go straight to the Jiang family's housekeeper.

The butler stopped, turned around and saw Jiang Yunjin. He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and a smile instantly appeared on his face.

"Congratulations, girl. The waterwheel is finished! The water is flowing now!"

The housekeeper was delighted.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yunjin quickly slid down from the carriage.

"You're telling the truth! Where are the craftsmen?"

"My dear, it is true! Those craftsmen are packing up their things and they said they will go back tomorrow!"

"Okay, okay! Go to the accounting office later and give some money to the craftsmen as a reward for these days."

Jiang Yunjin hurriedly said something and ran into the house, stopping the busy Old Mrs. Jiang and Old Man Jiang.

"Grandma, Daddy! The waterwheel is built!"

"What?" Mrs. Jiang asked in shock.

"That's great!" Boss Jiang said happily.

The two men pulled the little girl aside to ask her some more questions before deciding to return to the countryside tomorrow and start planting rice.

Boss Jiang told the housekeeper about this and asked him to sort out the servants in the house. If there were not enough people, he could recruit people from the surrounding villages.

The butler took the money, kept the matter in mind, turned around and left the capital.

To go back and plant rice seedlings, both Old Mrs. Jiang and Old Man Jiang must go back, and as for Jiang Yunjin, she must go with them too.

As for the other members of the Jiang family, they naturally stayed and concentrated on selling crayfish.

After agreeing, Jiang Yunjin went to prepare a few small coarse cloth skirts so that she could wear them when working in the fields.

The Jiang family had been busy all day, and at dinner time, they all had smiles on their faces that could not be concealed.

Old Mrs. Jiang coughed twice and was about to say that she was going back to the countryside tomorrow, but she was interrupted before she could open her mouth.

"Mom! Do you know how much silver we earned today?"

Mrs. Jiang opened her mouth eagerly, her face full of excitement.
