Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Although it was nearly September, it was still very hot and muggy. Magistrate Xu had just returned from Hongyuan Gambling House in casual clothes. His throat was on fire and he was sweating profusely. He drank three bowls of tea before feeling better.

When I came back yesterday and listened to the words of the county magistrate and Zhang Xiaowei, I realized that such a big event had happened in Hongyuan Gambling House. Listening to what they said, County Magistrate Xu was doubtful.

He didn't believe that there would be no flaws in this matter, and that the money that was well kept in the vault would disappear. They must have not inspected carefully enough, so early in the morning, Magistrate Xu took Li Dong to Hongyuan Gambling House and decided to investigate again.

Unexpectedly, as Captain Zhang and the others said, there was no sign of damage to the door, and there were no other abnormalities in the vault. But the money just disappeared, and I had no choice but to go back in an official tone.

Seeing Magistrate Xu come back in disgrace, the county magistrate secretly rejoiced: "Oh, Xu Mingchang thinks he is great, but he is nothing more than that."

He just thought this in his heart, but didn't show it on his face. He pretended to be concerned and asked: "My lord, magistrate, how is the inspection going? You must already have a clue!"

Listening to what he said, Magistrate Xu frowned slightly. The magistrate was dissatisfied with him sitting in his seat and clearly wanted to see his joke. This was Sima Zhao's true intention, and everyone on the street knew it.

But there was no dissatisfaction on his face, and he said calmly: "County Prime Minister, to tell you the truth, there are too few clues at this scene. Oh no, it should be said that there are no clues at all. There is no clue. This matter is not good for the time being." Decide.”

"Sir, I have an idea." Li Dong said with his hands clasped in fists.

Magistrate Xu raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Mr. Li, please tell me!"

After receiving the affirmation of Magistrate Xu, Li Dong stood up straight and said: "We carefully inspected and found that the door was not damaged, and the vault had no signs of damage. From this, we can be sure that the other party must have entered through the door. enter.

It's not easy to get in at the door. After all, there are so many people guarding it, but why do so many people insist that there is nothing strange?

Either they lied, or the thief used some method to make them fall asleep, and then opened the lock and swaggered in. "

"Yes, it is indeed so few." Magistrate Xu nodded.

In this way, Li Dong, you take people to summon the dozen guards again, ask them to come to the county government office, question them separately, and see if there are any flaws in their rhetoric? Then defeat them one by one. "

"Okay, my subordinates will go now." Li Dong took the order and left.

"Colonel Zhang~"

Lieutenant Zhang took a step forward, raised his hands and said, "My subordinates are here, what are your orders, the magistrate?"

Magistrate Xu turned his head and looked at the county magistrate beside him and said: "My lord, could you please write a few more reward notices and draw the style of this door lock on it. Whoever can open this lock will be rewarded. .

Lieutenant Zhang, when the time comes, you will post these notices in every corner of Heyang County and see if anyone can open the lock. If anyone can open the lock, control him. Do you understand? "

"Yes!" Captain Zhang said with his hands raised.

When the county magistrate heard this, his whole face wrinkled up. You, Xu Mingchang, actually asked me to draw. Why don't you draw it yourself? You have to draw dozens of pictures, but you must not exhaust yourself to death.

But since it was the county magistrate who had spoken, he had no choice but to do it. He had to walk to the desk in the corner with a frown on his face, study ink, and start writing.

Magistrate Xu curled his lips. He knew that the county magistrate must have scolded him a thousand times in his heart.

After a busy morning, she finally relaxed and walked back to the backyard. When Mrs. Dong saw her husband coming back, she greeted him happily: "Master is back, are you tired? I asked Cui'e to make lotus seed soup. Come on, first Have a drink.”

Then she shouted loudly: "Cui'e, bring me a bowl of lotus seed soup for the master."

"Hey~ here we come."

As soon as she finished speaking, Cui'e quickly brought up the lotus seed soup.

"Sit down and let me rub your shoulders!" Dong said.

"Madam still understands my heart and knows that I like to eat lotus seed soup!" Magistrate Xu patted the back of Dong's hand. While eating lotus seed soup, I enjoyed Dong's massage.

"Madam, do you have anything to say to me?" Magistrate Xu finished drinking the lotus seed soup, put down the bowl, and said calmly.

He knew that every time his wife asked someone to make lotus soup, there must be something to discuss with him.

Dong paused and stopped moving. It seemed that nothing could escape the master's eyes.

"Haha~"

Dong did not hide it and told the matter directly.

It turned out that Mrs. Dong saw her son Xu Hao looking at Mo Ru intently that day and was worried that Xu Hao would fall in love with her. Although this girl is good-looking and well-educated. But after all, she is just the wife's daughter and comes from a poor family.

Although my father is only a seventh-grade county magistrate, he is at least an official. My son is a child student. If he can be admitted as a scholar in the future, his future will be even brighter.

It is said that to get married, one must be from the same family. When the time comes, the person his son will marry will definitely be a lady from an official family. Even if it is not good, he will have to be a daughter of a rich family. No matter what, it will not be the wife's daughter.

Although she and Mrs. Namo had a very happy conversation that day, she would definitely not accept it if they became in-laws.

Now, in order to stop Hao'er from thinking about it, she came up with a trick. That is to find a partner for Xu Hao, and to make their Xu Hao die.

County Magistrate Xu frowned and did not comment on what Dong said: "The child is so old, you have to ask him what he thinks. Let's wait until Hao'er comes back next time to find out what he has to say."

"oops!"

Mrs. Dong lightly hit Magistrate Xu on the shoulder and said angrily: "Since ancient times, there is no reason for him to object to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers.

Besides, I'm absolutely right, he must like this girl Mo! But this girl comes from a poor family and is just the daughter of a married woman. How can she be worthy of our Haoer?

So in order to put an end to Hao'er's thoughts, I decided to let the matchmaker Huang find a good girl who is well matched for Hao'er today.

If we can catch up with any official lady, our Haoer will definitely have a bright future in the future. I am telling you now to let you know that when this yellow matchmaker comes to your door later, you must not show off to others.

Magistrate Xu knew his wife's temper and wanted to help his son arrange everything. He could only say patiently: "You also know Hao'er's temper. If he doesn't like it, he will fight against you."

As long as you don't ruin my good deeds, I believe Hao'er will understand his mother's good intentions for him. "Ms. Dong said confidently.

Although this son has been a bit rebellious since he was a child, he generally listens to her and she has confidence. While the two of them had nothing to do with each other, they quickly put an end to his thoughts.

Seeing Dong's insistence on going his own way, Magistrate Xu could only shake his head secretly.
