Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/   The latest work of the great master Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng! Chapter 8  Azhu

The captain Duan Baokang laughed a few times. He used to recognize Murong Youniu. Since he was an acquaintance, he had to take care of him, otherwise he would be considered a person who was not friendly and a ruthless person. Who would have to do anything to him in the future?

Duan Baokang walked to Murong Youniu, squatted down, and whispered: "Brother Murong, don't blame me for not reminding you that this case will be settled tomorrow, and now I'm missing Murong Zhi's confession..."

Murong Youniu nodded quickly. It seemed that Duan Baokang wanted him to help, so he should quickly get Murong Zhi's confession out. However, this is not a difficult task. His wife has confessed. What's the use of Murong Zhi's stubbornness?

Duan Baokang said again: "I'll take the paper and pen and pen. You ask your relative to recruit you soon. Then I will give the gift to the county magistrate as soon as possible tomorrow morning. Maybe the county magistrate won't even be promoted to the church and close the case directly. You made a perjury, but you made another contribution and made a contribution. You can still do it here. We are our own people, just remember to owe me a favor!"

Hearing that he could continue to be the village leader, Murong Youniu's eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly agreed to ensure the completion of the task, and urged Duan Baokang to go back and rest quickly, leaving all the matter here to him.

After Duan Baokang gave him paper and pen, he took the other officers out of the yard.

Murong Youniu immediately grabbed Murong Zhi's hair, picked him up, and shouted: "You want to harm me, how easy is it? Tell me out quickly and confess it. For the sake of relatives, I beg the county magistrate and spare your life!"

Although Murong Zhi was called "Zhi", he was beaten so hard that he could not find Bei at this time that he could not find any Zhi. He now only wants to settle the case, but don't stay in the yamen. He lost half his life after only one night. If he stayed there, he would probably lose his whole life.

Murong Zhi said: "Okay, then I'll take it. It's all my fault for being greedy for a while. As a result, I have implicated you, brother, and so many people. If you have any guilt, let me come alone!"

He knelt up, endured the pain all over his body, and told him how he had exchanged the money. Murong Youniu recorded it, and then he put his handprints on the seal.

Only then did Murong Zhi's wife realize that she was fooled by the county magistrate. Her husband did not confess, but she took it first. As a result, not only did her husband and herself get beaten up, but she also had to be punished again.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help crying, her hair was disheveled, and her mouth was cursing in a mess, and she was insincerely scolding the county magistrate and lied to her to tell the truth!

Murong Zhi glanced at her in disgust, thinking to himself how he fell in love with her and insisted on marrying her home. If he had known that she was a disaster, he would not have married her at the beginning!

Murong Youniu also disliked this tough woman. When he saw her tantrum, he said angrily: "You have any reason to go to Qing'er. If you dare to scold me, you will tear your mouth apart. Brother, let's leave her when you go back. Our Murong family dare not take such a disaster!"

Murong Zhi sighed, but did not answer this. He was afraid that he would pay all his property this time. If he had no wife again, he would probably be able to leave nothing left!

The tough woman was scared. She didn't want to be retired, so she had to shut up and dare not scold her anymore. In fact, she was also afraid. If the servants came back and heard that she scolded the county magistrate, the consequences would be really hard to think about.

After a night of hard work, the people in the yard were exhausted, but no one dared to rest. Until dawn, the chickens were crowing outside. Only then did Murong Youniu dare to take the confession and go to Duan Baokang to finish the matter as soon as possible.

Duan Baokang was the headmaster on duty, so he naturally didn't dare to sleep. He knew what happened in the yard. He looked down on Murong Zhi's wife, but Murong Zhi himself was not a good thing. This pair of male and female people were stinky fish and looked for rotten shrimps, and they were not a good thing.

After seeing the confession, Duan Baokang said, "Brother Murong, you still have to stay in the yard for some time. When I go to report to the county magistrate, the case will be settled after the county magistrate has been resolved!"

Murong Youniu was full of good words, so please ask Duan Baokang to give him a few more good words, please keep his position as the village chief.

Duan Baokang took the confession to the Hou House. Zheng Gangling came to Xingyang to take office. He did not bring his family. He just hired several servants to take care of his daily life. So he didn't have to be afraid of anything. As long as it was a business, the Hou House could come at any time.

At this time, the sky was not completely bright, but Zheng Gangling was very particular about dancing with the chicken, so he should have gotten up at this time. Duan Baokang went outside the yard and saw a maid walking out of the inside, holding a basin and a hand towel in his hand. It seemed that he had just served Zheng Gangling to wash up.

Duan Baokang recognized this maid named Azhu, and everyone called her Sister Azhu. Because Azhu was kind and very beautiful, everyone felt very close to her.

Duan Baokang stepped forward and said, "Sister Azhu, has the county master got up?"

Azhu has a gentle temperament and a very good temper. Seeing that it was Duan Baokang, she laughed before speaking and said, "I'm up, I'm dancing in the yard. What's wrong with Captain Duan? Just go in and say it!"

Duan Baokang said ummy twice, and was about to go in, but suddenly heard Azhu say again: "Captain Duan, were you on duty last night? Are you hungry? Do you want me to prepare some food for you? After you have eaten, you will get the money home?"

Duan Baokang hurriedly said, "Then it's my fault for Sister Azhu!"

Azhu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll prepare more and send it to the front yard, so that Captain Duan and the others will be full before going home!"

Duan Baokang naturally claimed thanks. Before entering the yard, he thought: "Azhu is such a good girl. She is beautiful, has a good temper and is diligent. If anyone marrys her in the future, it will be a great blessing in the previous life!"

After entering the yard, Duan Baokang met Zheng Gangling, presented Murong Zhi's confession and asked Zheng Gangling how to close the case.

After reading the confession, Zheng Gangling said, "This case is complicated but not complicated, but it is extremely bad. If Murong Zhi and his wife succeed, Wang Dawan's life will be gone. He lost more than 40 taels of silver. Can ordinary people not seek short-sighted opinions? Therefore, they must be severely punished!"

Duan Baokang was waiting for the county magistrate to close the case, but then Zheng Gangling said again: "Punish Murong Zhi 100 taels of silver into the official warehouse, and then beat another hundred big boards. Well, he has seventy big boards and his wife has thirty big boards. Find Wang Dawan's silver and let him go home. Remember to stay in the store in the future and don't cause any disputes again."

Duan Baokang agreed one by one that such a small case does not require two consecutive promotions to the lobby. As long as the county magistrate closes the case, the final work will be done by them and other minor officials.

He left the back house, came to the front yard, and handed over the matter to the head of the staff who were on duty during the day. As for Murong Youniu, because Zheng Gangling did not mention him, the village chief Murong Youniu could just continue to be the role of him.

After handling the business, Duan Baokang went to the office for breakfast. Seeing that everyone on duty last night had a portion, each of them had white rice porridge and steamed cakes, and they ate with relish. He couldn't help but praise A Zhu again. The servants present nodded and expressed their agreement, and praised A Zhu as a good girl. Whoever can marry her in the future is really blessed!

But Azhu herself didn't know that others were praising her. She brought a copper basin and a hand towel and went to the room where Li Rizhi lived. Li Rizhi also had the habit of getting up early. Although she slept late last night, she still got up early.

Li Rizhi used to stay in the yamen for a long time and knew Azhu. When he saw Azhu come in, he said, "Sister Azhu, has my uncle gotten up?"

Azhu smiled and said, "The county master never sleeps in. He has already gotten up and is still working. Do you know Duan Baokang? He is just asking the county master to talk to him in the morning!"

Li Rizhi said, it must have been the case last night. He had an idea to solve the case, but he was no longer interested in how to pronounce the verdict and did not care about it.

Azhu was busy cleaning the room. After Li Rizhi washed his face, he looked around for a while and suddenly said, "Sister Azhu, why are you not getting married yet? It was the family who asked you to be a maid to make money, so don't you let you marry?"

After hearing this, Azhu felt very strange. She was cleaning up the bed, so she turned around and said, "Why did you remember to ask this?"

Li Rizhi touched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Ask a little, I just think that Sister Ah Zhu is so good, why isn't you married yet? There must be some reason. I'm curious, Sister Ah Zhu, don't be upset!"

Azhu smiled and said, "What's the point of annoying about this? Many people have asked me!"

It turns out that Ah Zhu is already twenty years old this year. At this age in Tang Shi, he is definitely a mother. Maybe he has given birth to two or three children. There are girls who get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen everywhere, but those who are not married at the age of twenty are rare. Generally speaking, they are the kind that cannot be married.

But Azhu is definitely not the kind who can't get married. She looks very beautiful and has a good temper. Although she only has a widow in her family, she has a house and land. Her family also hires tenants to farm. She herself works as a maid in the county government office and earns half a month of wages. Zheng Gangling pays the wages, but she never defaults on it.

Azhu's conditions are excellent in the entire Xingyang County. Even some ladies from rich men's families have less monthly payments than hers. How could such a good woman be twenty years old and not yet have a family in-laws?

Li Rizhi was very curious before, but he finally asked out today.

Azhu was not angry. She folded the quilt and sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Li Rizhi and said, "Actually, I have been engaged long ago. It was my father who was alive. However, ten years ago, my husband's family moved away and no letter was received since then, so the marriage was delayed."

She looked at Li Rizhi and said, "When my little husband left, he was as old as Master Rizhi, but he was naughty. He was not as naughty as Master Rizhi, you like studying so much."

Only then did Li Rizhi realize that it was not that Ah Zhu couldn't get married, but was waiting for her fiancé. However, if she couldn't get in touch, would she just wait?

As Li Rizhi thought about it, he asked out the question. When Ah Zhu heard it, his face turned dimmed, and he seemed to be very worried. She did not answer Li Rizhi, but just took the basin out and forgot to arrange for Li Rizhi to have dinner.

There was no way, so I couldn't be hungry, so Li Rizhi went to Zheng Gangling's place and planned to eat with his uncle.

Azhu went to the kitchen with great worries. When the cook saw it, he shouted, "Azhu, just pour the water on the ground. Don't pour it into the water tank. You have to use the water in the tank to cook!"

Azhu came to his senses and found that he had actually brought the basin into the kitchen and poured the wash water into the water tank for cooking.

At this time, the manager in the kitchen who was responsible for selling meat and vegetables came back, holding two fat chickens in his hand. When he saw Azhu, he said, "Azhu, I saw your mother at the door just now, saying that she had something to do with you, so you can go and have a look!"
