Famous peasant girl has a little field

Chapter 216 No wonder she was only a county magistrate for two years

It was late at night when Qin Muyu returned to his house in Laihe County last night. Lying on the bed, his mind was full of Shen Xiaoyu's pretty appearance, which was sometimes angry and sometimes happy, as if something overflowed his chest.

Thinking of the softness when she pushed Shen Xiaoyu against the wall, she laughed blankly for most of the night, and only fell asleep in a daze after getting up early.

After waking up, I stared at the top of the bed in a daze for a while, then heard He Lai's voice from outside the door, "Master, Wu Tongzhi, the county magistrate of Changsheng County, is asking to see you."

Qin Muyu turned over, "I haven't woken up yet, let him come back later!"

He Lai shook his head at Wu Tongzhi, Wu Tongzhi didn't dare to show his anger, for fear of offending Qin Muyu, and there would be no good fruit for him, the difference in status made him feel left out in the cold without even a trace of annoyance.

The two backed out quietly, He Lai said: "Master Wu, master slept late last night, why don't you go back first?"

Wu Tongzhi shook his head, looked at He Lai with a perplexed face, and said after a long time, "Young Master went to Songsha Village last night?"

He Lai glared, "Master Wu still sent someone to follow our master?"

Wu Tongzhi heard why the tone was not friendly, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, there was a murder case in Songsha Village last night, and someone saw the Young Master's house at the place where the crime happened."

He Lai frowned upon hearing this, "Could it be that someone regarded the master as a murderer?"

Seeing Wu Tongzhi nodding, He Lai sneered, "Others don't know, but you don't know? Our master kills people with his own hands? You underestimate us as subordinates too much."

Cold sweat broke out on Wu Tongzhi's head, for fear that he would become the one who didn't need Qin Muyu to do it himself, "The lower official doesn't think that the young master's family killed him, but someone dared to rape the young master's family. The lower official thinks this person is really hateful. How to deal with this person, ask Shaodong for an idea."

Yan Bi told He Lai the whole story and suspicious points of last night's case, but never mentioned Qin Muyu's suspicion in the case, for fear that He Lai would scold him again in a fit of anger.

Don't look at He Lai as just a servant of Qin Muyu, who has no official status and no rank, but the most trusted person around the sixth prince is even the ministers of the court and the central government, even if he sees him, he will pay three points of respect, let alone a small county magistrate.

After hearing this, He Lai said, "The master has to speak for himself? No wonder you have been an official for more than 20 years but you are still a seventh-rank county magistrate."

"Your official is ashamed!"

Seeing that Wu Tongzhi was really ashamed, He Lai spoke softly, "Speaking of which, I can't blame you all. After all, someone has bitten you. As a local parental official, you always have to intervene. But it's only this time, and there will be another time." Don't blame me for falling out with you! Now let's talk about the person who dared to bite the master indiscriminately!"

Wu Tongzhi wiped off his cold sweat, "This man is a villager from Songsha Village, surnamed Shen and named Guangzhi, and he is said to be a rogue. The officials believe that his purpose of biting the young master's family is to drag Han Mei's family into the water, and then occupy him. Han Mei's wine shop and wine cellar are really despicable."

"It turned out to be that rascal, and I have long disliked him." He Lai twitched his lips disdainfully, "After talking, do you know what to do?"

Wu Tongzhi nodded hurriedly, not daring to disturb Qin Muyu anymore, trotted out of Qin Muyu's house in Laihe County, and rode away on horseback.

Qin Muyu didn't go back to sleep, and after Wu Tongzhi left, he got up to wash up. When He Lai came in, Qin Muyu was already sitting at the table, eating breakfast that was later than lunch, and then he heard He Lai learned Wu Tongzhi's words again, Qin Muyu put down his chopsticks and let down the maid who served him.
