Chapter 409 Family Letter
Hearing that Mei and Wang were dead, Fang Yiai's hands trembled slightly, and said with a sneer, "Where is the Fa-rectification on the spot, it is clearly a guilty conscience, murdering people to silence their mouths!"

"The magistrate of Caozhou came to the county government, why didn't anyone notify the county?" Fang Yiai got up and walked down the high platform, looking at the Zaoli and the policeman on both sides.

The arrester who came to report the letter hadn't stood up yet. Hearing the inquiry, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I want to report to the county lord, when the magistrate came, the county government hadn't opened yet. He went to the county government first and then the county prison."

"It turns out that he made up his mind and wanted to kill Mei Zhusheng and Wang Tong." Fang Yi secretly thought about it lovingly, and he was even more convinced of the authenticity of what Mei Zhusheng said last night, "the handle of the prefect of Caozhou".

"It's a pity that the county didn't get the words out of Mei Zhusheng's mouth"

Just when Fang Yiai felt sorry, Fan Jin, who was standing beside him, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Xianzun, since Mei Zhusheng and Wang Tong are dead, don't compete with the prefect of Caozhou at this time, he This must come with a seal, I am afraid that I will take the opportunity to retaliate."

Hearing Fan Jin's reminder, Fang Yiai nodded, "Okay, so I will thank you behind closed doors today, and let Master Fan take care of the matters in the county government."

After finishing speaking, Fang Yiai flicked his sleeves and walked towards the inner office. Just as he was about to walk out of the court, the magistrate of Fang County seemed to have thought of something, and turned to Fan Jin and said, "Opening the granary to release the grain is still the same. If someone dares to move the granary to tax the grain If you want to, you must come and report to the county."

After handing over the daily work to Fan Jin, Fang Yiai paced to the main hall with a depressed mood. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Qin Jingniang sitting on the table, measuring the cloth.

"He Lang is back? Is the county government all right?" Qin Jingniang took the fabric and made gestures on Fang Yiai's shoulders and spine a few times, obviously planning to make new clothes for the officials.

After Qin Jingniang had measured the size, Fang Yiai walked to the tea table, raised her head and drank Qin Jingniang's half cup of tea, and said discouragedly, "Mei Zhusheng and Wang Tong are dead."

"Ah? Didn't Mei Zhusheng and Wang Tong just be imprisoned yesterday? Why did they die this morning? Why did they die so quickly?" Qin Jingniang put down the cloth and poured a cup of hot tea for Fang Yiai, her eyes glowing. asked curiously.

Fang Yiai shook her head, and sighed, "It was the prefect of Caozhou who did it, secretly committing murder in the name of carrying out punishment according to the law."

"Hey, where is Yaohuan?" Fang Yiai asked Qin Jingniang without seeing Xie Yaohuan.

Qin Jingniang pointed to the study room, and whispered, "My sister is sorting out the books."

"Miss Xie, a highly talented official from the Shangyi Academy in the palace, transcribed the account books for me, a seventh-rank county magistrate, and it's hard for her."

Shaking her head with a wry smile, Fang Yiai went on to say, "I'll go to the bedroom to write the memorial first, so don't tire yourself out for Qin Jingniang, let's take a break."

"Okay, let's get busy, officials." Qin Jingniang nodded, running the silver needles in her hands again and again. The small embroidery needles seemed to be transformed into halberds and silver guns in her hands. Female reds and weapons can be used in everything.

Sitting alone on the tea table in the bedroom, Fang Yiai fetched the Four Treasures of the Study, thought carefully, and simply wrote down the cause and effect of the matter.

"If this letter is sent by a messenger, I'm afraid it will fall into the hands of the prefect of Caozhou again."

"It's been a month since I came to Meiwu County. It's time to write a letter to my parents and Shu'er."

With a swipe of a pen, Fang Yiai wrote three family letters in a row. The memorial was put together with the family letter addressed to Fang Xuanling, and the remaining two letters were addressed to Gao Yang and Li Lizhi.

"The post station ordered the imperial court to take it away. I'm afraid the magistrate of Caozhou would not have the guts to go to the post office to search for the letters!" Fang Yiai put away the three letters, and because she wanted to avoid the prefect of Caozhou, she simply lay down on Qin Jingniang's couch and started fighting. Come take a nap.

As the sun set over the western mountains, Fang Yiai woke up leisurely. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Qin Jingniang sitting beside the couch, smiling like a flower.

"Mm Jing Niang, what time is it?" Fang Yiai gently held the beautiful woman's slender hand, caressing it, and said with a smile.

Knowing that Fang Yiai was suffering from lovesickness, Qin Jingniang didn't dodge, she sat on the edge of the couch and moved inward, pouting: "The sun is almost setting."

"Huh? So I didn't even eat lunch? Why didn't Jingniang wake me up?" Fang Yi'ai's fingers slowly moved in the jade palm, causing Qin Jingniang to feel ashamed, and two red clouds instantly appeared on her cheeks.

"Seeing that He Lang has been running around for days, my family can't bear to ask the officials to get up to eat, and the chicken soup is still warming on the stove." After speaking, Qin Jingniang half sat up, blushing and said: "I'll go serve He Lang Come?"

Fang Yiai nodded and turned over to sit up. After arranging her clothes a little, she walked out of the bedroom with her thoughts in mind, and went to ask Fan Jin about the situation.

When I came to the west wing, I saw Fan Jin teaching Baduan how to write. Fang Yiai nodded and smiled, walked into the room quietly, stood behind the two of them, looked at Fan Jin's handwriting for a while, and then started leisurely. He said, "Master Fan is so handsome in regular script."

Seeing Fang Yiai's arrival, Fan Jin hurriedly put down his brush, cupped his hands and said, "Students don't dare to use an ax in front of the county magistrate."

"Does Grandfather eat sweet dates? There are still some for sale at the market, Ba Duan will go buy some for Grandpa?" Ba Duan said coquettishly, pulling Fang Yiai's clothes.

"Hmph! Greedy bones! Why are you buying it for the county to eat? It's obvious that you are greedy?" Fang Yiai smiled and took out an ingot of scattered silver taels from her bosom, handed it to Baduan, and instructed: "Remember come back earlier!"

After the happy Baduan left, Fang Yiai sat on the wooden chair, frowned slightly and said, "What will the prefect of Caozhou do?"

"After Mei Zhusheng and Wang Tong were killed in the county prison, the prefect of Caozhou went back home, and he didn't bother with the matter of the granary." Fan Jin said [-].

"That's great. Anyway, Mei Zhusheng has already confessed. It doesn't matter whether he is dead or alive. The county has no plan to really learn any shocking secrets from him."

Fan Jin nodded in response, and was about to sit down, when he suddenly remembered something, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he said urgently: "I heard from the jailer that after the prefect of Caozhou arrived at the county prison, Mei Zhusheng whispered something to him. "

"What are you talking about?" Seeing Mei Zhusheng's last words, Fang Yiai immediately stood up and asked joyfully.

"Tell the county that my head can be exchanged for money."

"Mei Zhusheng asked the jailer to tell me that his head can be exchanged for money?" After Fang Yiai translated the classical Chinese, she rubbed her chin and pondered for a moment, but in the end she couldn't figure out what the trick was.

After some contemplation to no avail, Fang Yiai's stomach began to make a protesting sound, and she took out the letter from her wide sleeve, and Fang Yiai said to Fan Jin: "These three letters are letters I sent to Chang'an, I still have to thank Master Fan tomorrow." Let’s go to the Caozhou Pavilion Station in person.”

"Students will go tomorrow morning." Fan Jin took the letter with both hands and put it in the drawer of the table without looking at it carefully.

Seeing that Fan Jin was extremely mature in his work, Fang Yiai nodded and smiled, "There are so many vacant rooms in the internal government office. Master Fan will bring his aunt and sister-in-law here to live with him when he comes back from Caozhou tomorrow, so we can take care of him in the future."

"Does this make it?" Fan Jin was flattered and murmured hesitantly.

"There is nothing you can't do. Tomorrow, you go to the fair to buy two beds and have them delivered to the inner office. Then you can just ask your wife to get the money."

After finishing speaking, Fang Yiai waved to Fan Jin, walked out of the room slowly, and said, "Let Ba Duan keep the sweet dates for himself."

"Also, Master's regular script is a bit bitter, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to correct it after a long time. When you go back to Chang'an, the county will take you to Ouyang ledeng's mansion to ask for advice."

Looking at the back of Fang Yiai's departure, Fan Jin's nose turned sore, tears welled up in his eyes.

"The county lord wants me to bring my mother and wife to the inner yamen."

"He also said that he will return to Chang'an in the future. Is the county official planning to take me back to Chang'an?!"

After guessing Fang Yiai's intentions, Fan Jin laughed three times and murmured, dancing and dancing, "I don't want any fame or wealth, any three-year township examination, any high school exams, I don't want them all! I just want to follow the county magistrate in this life. There is still a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, not to mention that I am still the master of the county lord's staff!"

When she came to the bedroom, she saw Xie Yaohuan sitting under the lamp reading a book, with steaming chicken soup on the side, Fang Yiai scratched her head and let out a sigh, "Where's Jing Niang?"

Xie Yaohuan put down her book, looked up at Fang Yiai, and returned to her usual icy appearance.

"Oh, a woman's heart is a needle in the bottom of the sea." Fang Yiai saw Xie Yaohuan's complexion, so she quickly picked up the chicken soup and hurried all the way to her single room.

After drinking the chicken soup, Fang Yiai put the latch on the door and was about to rest on the bed when she felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange. Then she looked closely by the candlelight and saw a person hiding in the tent.

Reaching out to lift the white curtain, Qin Jingniang, who had a pink complexion, instantly came into Fang Yiai's sight.

"Officer, are you ready?"

"Have you eaten yet! Haven't eaten yet!"
