New widow

What Mr. Kuang cares about most is, of course, future and reputation, while what Mr. Li cares about is status. Not to mention what Chu Zhixian cares about is future, status and reputation.

Since they all care, let's take the opportunity to take away all the things they care about.

"This is a good idea." Mrs. Song Wu nodded, and then asked worriedly: "But how can we do it?"

"No need to worry." Su Qiao still smiled lightly. Now, the prefect's wife did not take Su Qiao back. It was the prefect who was anxious, not herself.

The magistrate's wife returned home in disgrace. The magistrate asked her clearly and couldn't help but ponder.

The prefect's wife was so angry that she could only express her anger at the prefect: "I was so angry there that a British mistress treated me like dirt. It should be noted that I was also granted a title by the imperial court. Destiny woman."

"Yes, yes, what happened today is all my fault." The prefect could only calm down his wife's anger first. The magistrate's wife waited for the magistrate to finish saying this, and then said to the magistrate: "I can't bear this anger in vain."

"I think so too!" The prefect frowned tightly. He originally thought that the British Duke's mansion was far away in the capital, but now a fifth wife suddenly appeared, and many things had to be rearranged.

"Tell me, why did Mrs. Song Wu come suddenly? Is it a lie?" The prefect pondered there, and the prefect's wife also whispered there.

Fake? The magistrate looked at his wife and said with displeasure: "What are you talking about? Are you lying?"

"You think about it, the British government is far away in the capital, and the fifth wife is naturally enjoying happiness in the capital. How could she suddenly appear here? What a coincidence." The prefect's wife wanted revenge, so she had to first tell Mrs. Song that she was a fake Yes, then the prefect’s wife can feel at ease.

The magistrate pondered for a moment, this was also an idea, but this matter needed to be discussed in detail, so the magistrate sent someone to the post office and asked the magistrate of Chu County to come over and discuss it.

Chu Zhi County took in a concubine last night, and the new concubine was beautiful and gentle. Chu Zhi County got up very late that day, thinking that this maid was not enough, and wanted the matchmaker to bring two more maids to buy them back to serve the new concubine, so he met the magistrate. When Bian sent someone to invite him, the boss of Chuzhi County looked at the newcomer unhappily.

The newlywed said with a smile: "Master, you should go and do business first. I am just an aunt, so I don't dare to let Master not be busy with business."

At this moment, the person had just arrived, so Chu Zhixian naturally felt that everything was fine, so Chu Zhixian pinched the newcomer's chin: "Okay, okay, then I'll go over there first, and when I come back, I'll bring you rouge and gouache."

After saying that, the magistrate of Chu ordered his servants to serve the newcomer well, then changed his clothes and went to the magistrate's office.

The magistrate was still waiting for Chu Zhixian in the study. When he saw Chu Zhixian come in, the magistrate smiled and said: "I was supposed to go to congratulate you yesterday, but I was busy with official duties and couldn't make it in time. Today, something happened again. This matter But it’s not easy to go out and discuss it, so I invited you here.”

"But since I want to be favored, I won't invite you over. I'll wait a few days before I get married, and then I can post a post inviting you to have a wedding drink." Magistrate Chu and the magistrate are now very familiar with each other, so they are no longer polite, smiling. Talking.

The prefect also smiled: "It's a good thing to marry a new person, but there is another important matter."

"What's important?" Chu Zhixian looked around and asked softly, "But what about that?"

"Today, my wife wanted to take advantage of the chaos to bring her here, but unexpectedly a lady came, saying she was the fifth wife of the British government." The prefect only said this, and the rest would have to wait for the magistrate Chu to say what he wanted from the county. Sure enough, Chu Zhixian's eyebrows were already frowning: "The fifth wife of the British Duke's family, who is also the head mistress of the British Duke's family at the moment, why is she here?"

"Yes, how could the person who was supposed to be enjoying happiness in the capital suddenly come at this juncture?" the magistrate said calmly, and the magistrate of Chu suddenly reached out and patted the table: "I understand, this person is probably Fake."

The magistrate was waiting for Magistrate Chu's words, but the magistrate still frowned deliberately: "False? I don't think anyone is so bold. Besides, Madam Kuang has recognized the person."

"She doesn't have any evidence at the moment. A dog will jump over the wall when it's anxious, let alone a big living person like her." Chu Zhixian said disapprovingly. The prefect waited for Chu Zhixian to say the next words, but Chu Zhixian still said Shaking his head: "I will also need someone from your Yamen to send a letter to Mr. Kuang quickly."

Lord Kuang's mansion is not far from here. It lasts day and night. It only takes eight days to come here.

"You mean, please ask Mr. Kuang to come forward?" The magistrate clearly knew what Magistrate Chu was going to do, but he still deliberately looked surprised.

"Mrs. Kuang is also his daughter after all." A smile appeared on Chu Zhixian's lips. This smile was cold. Now, the more people on the boat, the better. The magistrate also smiled: "Then hurry up Write a letter and I'll send it over quickly."

Naturally, we have to send it by official document. This is done day and night. If we send it out now, we can reach Mr. Kuang on the third day. Mr. Kuang hurried out and walked to the inn day and night without changing horses. Man, that will be coming here soon too.

"Since we want to settle Mr. Kuang's worries and encounter difficulties, we naturally have to ask him to come forward." The magistrate of Chu County had already written the letter. When the ink on the letter was dry, he said to the magistrate with a smile, and the magistrate also smiled. , A person's life and death, in their eyes, are so easy, as if they are trivial.

The county magistrate and the magistrate of Chu were discussing there, and Zhang Qing and Su Du were also checking for clues. As long as they were done, they would definitely leave traces, and those traces left behind were what Zhang Qing and Su Du needed.

"It's another day." Su Du looked at the setting sun and said very depressedly.

"Yeah, it's another day." And it's still a day with nothing accomplished. The most critical step for Chu Zhi County to do this is definitely to do it yourself. This is why Chu Zhi County dared to pour dirty water on Su Qiao.

"You still can't see that person?" Su Du looked at Zhang Qing, who shook his head: "The prefect said that this was an important prisoner, so he was detained in solitary confinement. The butler delivered the meals, and the staff in the yamen, None are allowed.”

This is obviously to prevent Su Du and the others. As long as they use the manpower in the yamen, Su Du and Zhang Qing will have a chance to meet this person. At this moment, this person doesn't know that he will also die, so he is still waiting there. Waiting for him to be released from prison, receive a reward, and go home to live a good life.

"This is really heavily guarded." Su Du frowned more and more. The prefect was determined to make this case a solid case.
