"The murder in the alley in the south of the city?" Zhou Zhong was taken aback after hearing this, and then looked at Zheng Jing who was beside him, and Zheng Jing also showed a puzzled expression.

Seeing the expressions of Zhou Zhong and Zheng Jing, County Magistrate Huang explained with a smile: "The two virtuous brothers don't know. Someone found five corpses in an alley in the south of the city this morning, and there were traces of fighting. , there was blood all over the place, it can be said to be extremely tragic, in the end even the magistrate was alarmed, and he ordered me to solve the case within three days. The truth is really a surprise!"

At the end of the magistrate Huang's speech, he couldn't help laughing heartily.But at this moment, Zhou Zhong couldn't help but said worriedly: "Brother Huang, Wu Shan was attacked first yesterday, and then he took the knife to kill someone as a last resort, so it shouldn't be considered a crime, right?"

Hearing Zhou Zhong's words, County Magistrate Huang and Zheng Jing looked at each other first, and then laughed at the same time. After a while, County Magistrate Huang said: "Wenda, you are worrying too much, just like you said, Butcher Wu was attacked first, and those who attacked him were those criminals who committed all kinds of crimes. The government had long wanted to wipe them out, so Butcher Wu killed those five people not only innocently, but also meritoriously. I will report to the police as soon as possible. Lord Zhifu, he will definitely get a lot of silver rewards!"

Zhou Zhong was also overjoyed to hear that Wu Shan was innocent and meritorious from the magistrate Huang, but he did not forget to congratulate the magistrate Huang for solving this major case, which will add a lot to his political achievements, and he will be promoted in the future. Down.

County magistrate Huang didn't expect Zhou Zhong to be so eloquent, and the case of five lives was solved on the same day, and he just took office, and he made such a great contribution, so he will definitely get the attention of the magistrate. Promotion in the future will also be a big help. Thinking of this, his affection for Zhou Zhong also increased again. The two soon began to call each other brothers, and they seemed to be friends who had known each other for many years.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Zhong proposed to invite Huang County Magistrate and Zheng Jing to dinner. Huang County Magistrate is now in high spirits, so he naturally agreed. Zheng Jing was also very happy to see the two friends hit it off, so the three of them came to the distance In a restaurant not far from the Zhou Mansion, they called a table of food and wine to drink and chat, and finally ended in the middle of the night.

He personally sent the magistrate Huang and Zheng Jing who were staggering into the carriage, and Zhou Zhong returned slowly to the mansion.County Magistrate Huang deserves to be a person in the officialdom. His persuasion and drinking skills are top-notch. In his previous life, Zhou Zhong was also a person who drank heavily and ate meat. I couldn't bring it, so after being poured a few cups by the county magistrate Huang, my mind is a little dizzy now, and my walking is a little drifting. Fortunately, Zhou's mansion is not far from the restaurant, otherwise I would really have to ask Butler Xu to pick me up.

Dizzy Zhou Zhong finally returned home, first went to Wu Shan's yard to look around, only to find that Wu Shan was half sitting on the bed, listening to Butler Xu rehearsing the content of tomorrow's storytelling.Zhou Zhong had already told them the words of County Magistrate Huang. Wu Shan was also very surprised when he heard that he had killed five of them. Booing, Wu Shan insisted on treating his injury well.

Zhou Zhong and Wu Shan chatted for a few more words. At this time, the spirit of alcohol surged up again. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he got up and said goodbye, and went back to his bedroom and fell asleep. Originally, he didn't sleep last night, although he slept during the day It took most of the day, but he still hadn't recovered, and now he drank alcohol again, so he slept in a dark place, and he was not awakened by the smell of food until the next morning.

Zhou Zhong opened his eyes, only to see that Zhuanger was holding a tray on the table. On the tray was a bowl of steaming rice porridge, and on the side plate were two steamed buns and some pickles.At this time Zhuaner also saw Zhou Zhong waking up, but there was a sweet smile on her little face and said: "Brother, you are awake, hurry up and eat, you haven't had a good breakfast for two days!"

I saw Zhou Zhong smelled the steamed stuffed buns deeply, and didn't get up immediately, but praised with a smile: "As soon as you smell the scent, you will know that it must be the stuffed buns made by our family, Hurry up and let me taste it." Try it, I can't bear it."

"Puchi~" Seeing the greedy look on his elder brother's face, even though Biao'er knew that Zhou Zhong was teasing her, she still couldn't help laughing out loud, but after laughing, she purposely put on a small face and said, "Hurry up!" Wake up, how can anyone sit on the bed and eat?"

"Good bracelet, the snow outside hasn't melted yet, it's too cold, and besides, I'm fine now, so just let me eat in bed!" Zhou Zhong imitated Duo'er's behavior, and every time he got up in the morning, Duo'er They will find all kinds of reasons to stay in bed.In addition, the weather today is really cold, and Zhou Zhong also has the problem of staying in bed.

Seeing that her always upright elder brother also stayed in bed like Duo Er, Zhuo Er laughed out loud, but she also knew that her elder brother was really tired these days, so she didn't ask Zhou Zhong to get up again, and made breakfast Bring it to Zhou Zhong to finish eating on the bed, and then bring the bowl and chopsticks back to the kitchen.

Seeing Zhuan'er's virtuous appearance when he was taking care of him for breakfast, Zhou Zhong felt emotional in his heart, and he didn't know which bastard would be lucky in the future to marry such a virtuous girl as Zhuan'er into his family?

Thinking that such a good sister will marry sooner or later, Zhou Zhong, as an elder brother, can't help but feel a little sour.Looking outside through the window paper, although the light transmission of the window paper is very poor, Zhou Zhong can also tell that the sky outside is not very good, and the sun has not risen, which gives him even more reasons to stay in bed , Lie down again holding the quilt, ready to sleep back into the cage again.

It's a pity that God's wishes didn't come true. Not long after Zhou Zhong lay down, he was pulled up from the bed by housekeeper Xu, because Xu Shenzhong, Zhang Kuang, and Li Zheng had come to visit him, and they were waiting in the front hall.

Hearing this news, Zhou Zhong had no choice but to get up, get dressed, wash up hastily, and came to the warm pavilion next to the main hall of the front yard, only to find that the three of them were drinking tea there. Weather, why are you all free to come to my place?"

Xu Shenzhong was already very familiar with Zhou Zhong, and after hearing Zhou Zhong's words, he also smiled and said, "Wen Da, you don't listen to anything outside the window, and you only write Journey to the West, but we ordinary people have to worry about some common things. , The merit monument has been built outside the city, and the inauguration ceremony is going to be held today, you, the instigator, have to visit it no matter what?"

"So fast?" Zhou Zhong was extremely surprised when he heard that the monument of merit and virtue had been completed. It was less than ten days since he proposed the idea of ​​the monument of merit and virtue to Xu Shenzhong, and the monument of merit and virtue had already been erected there. This speed is too fast right?

"Hey, the efficiency of the government's affairs varies from time to time. The key depends on who is going to do it. Brother Shen Zhong's father is the leader of our Songjiang Mansion. The order given by him personally will naturally do his best. In addition, the merit monument is not a complicated thing, as long as you find a blank stone tablet in the stone factory and carve words on it, it won’t take much time at all!” At this time Li Zheng also smiled and said, the young man’s heart is straightforward, and he is right The dissatisfaction of the government is also on the face.

"So that's it. By the way, why didn't you see brother Minglun?" Zhou Zhong suddenly realized that Zheng Jing, who had been drinking with him yesterday, hadn't come.

Hearing Zhou Zhong mentioned Zheng Jing, the three of Xu Shenzhong laughed together, and finally Zhang Kuang said: "Wen Da, you should know this matter best, you and Ming Lun drank so much last night, When we went to find him before, he was still drinking and had a terrible headache and couldn't get up at all. I was worried that you would be like Ming Lun, but I didn't expect Wenda to drink so well. Now it seems that there is no problem at all. Brother Wei really admires the drunk appearance!"

Zhou Zhong couldn't help laughing when he heard that Zheng Jing was so drunk that he couldn't get out of bed today. The few of them chatted for a while, and then they went out together and got into the carriage to visit the merit monument outside the city. Several of them have a great relationship, and they saved the lives of more than 2 disaster victims outside the city, so they must pay their respects.

It snowed two feet deep the night before, and after a day and night of cleaning, a walkable road has been cleared on the street, with huge snowdrifts piled up on both sides, and it is estimated that they will not be completely melted until next spring.

The disaster victims outside the city were mainly concentrated in the north gate, so the merit monument was also erected outside the north gate. Zhou Zhong and the others came to the north gate in a carriage, but they had some troubles when leaving the city. The disaster victims were forbidden to enter the city, so the investigation was very thorough. Strict, fortunately Zhou Zhong and the others are all scholars, and Xu Shenzhong is not only the magistrate, but also a juror, so after revealing their identities, the soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to stop them at all, and the leading guard even nodded and bowed to personally send them out of the city.

Zhou Zhong looked at the soldiers guarding the gate from the carriage. Although he was not a soldier and had no research on military affairs, he could tell that the guards guarding the gate in the Ming Dynasty were actually a bunch of hooligans wearing uniforms. At that time, these people were asked by Naka, and they didn't look like an army at all.

In addition, the uniforms on these soldiers are also worn out, not to mention the weapons, most of them are also tattered. Well, looking at their bodies, it's okay to bully ordinary people a little bit, but don't count on fighting a war.

"No wonder decades later, dozens of Japanese pirates ransacked all the way, and finally hit the city of Nanjing. If the entire Ming Dynasty relied on these soldiers to defend the city, I am afraid that even the capital would be thrown away by them!" Zhou Zhong whispered to himself. Dao, there is also a heavy look in the eyes looking at the city gate.
