Chapter 31

The county magistrate led several yamen servants to search for half a day in the county yamen, but they still couldn't find any evidence of collusion between Maoshan county magistrate.

Shen mistakenly sent Shen Ding to Yanzhou Mansion overnight, and took Erya and Huzi out for dinner. When he came back and saw that the county magistrate and others were still looking for them, he said impatiently: "After searching for a long time, there are still The secret room should be found by digging three feet."

To prove the collusion of officials, the most powerful evidence is the correspondence and account books.

It's just that the county magistrate and others didn't find any useful documents except for a large number of land deeds.

The county magistrate and the others hadn't had dinner yet, and they were all sweating profusely.

"My lord, I have really tried my best. Now I can only go to torture the county magistrate. You must hurry up, otherwise the evidence will be transferred..."

Shen Cuo shook his head and said with a look of disgust: "This little matter can't be handled well, what use does the imperial court want you for? Judging from my many years of experience, this account book must be in the Yamen.

If the county magistrate wants to rely on these to save his life, what's the use of torture?Just tell him that we haven't found it yet. "

Although Shen Cuo didn't often carry out operations to infiltrate the government at the beginning, his subordinates would report to her every time they acted.

She has seen a lot of corrupt officials and killed a lot, so she is very clear about their habit of putting things away.

The incident happened suddenly today, and the county magistrate had no time to transfer the evidence. He must keep things that can save his life by his side.

"But we have already searched for all the places we need to find. As for the hidden room, it may be difficult to know without asking the county magistrate."

Shen Cuo gave a soft "hum", a smug smile appeared on the corner of his lips, he folded his hands and smiled without saying a word.

How did the county magistrate and others know that she was cheating?They are all waiting for her next words.Only Erya saw that Shen Cuo was waiting for someone to ask her, so he hesitated for a moment, seeing that no one understood what she meant, he hesitated and said: "Master Shen, you, do you have a way to find evidence?"

Shen Cuo glanced at Erya with a complicated expression.

"Really? Mr. Shen, can you find evidence?"

When the county magistrate heard this, he was overjoyed.

Shen Cuo pursed the corners of his mouth, and he didn't want to show off, and said with a dignified expression: "Lead the way..."

Shen Cuo searched the room under the leadership of the county magistrate. Every time he entered a place, he just glanced at it, or let out a long whistle at the door, to know if there was a hidden compartment in the room.

Several times in succession, the arrows were shot in vain, and the darkrooms and compartments in several rooms were quickly found out.

The county magistrate and others were amazed and praised repeatedly, only thinking that Shen Cuo had the eyes of the sky.

Shen Cuo disdainfully said: "What's the matter, wait until you have enough people to dig the dry well in the yard, there is a hole in it."

She didn't want to care so much at first, but she decided to send the Buddha to the west only because she saw that these people were really useless.

The county government is the property of the imperial court, and it must have been built according to certain regulations.

It's just that Chaogang was corrupted later, and the local governments gradually broke away from the imperial court's control.

Especially in the Jiangnan area, the magistrate may not be changed for more than ten years or decades, and the yamen gradually become privately owned by the county magistrate, and there are more and more illegal buildings.

But as long as you are familiar with the method, you can know the violation at a glance, but it is the same as Fengshui.

"With Mr. Shen here, why should the imperial court worry about Jiangnan's uneasiness!"

This county magistrate seems to be an aspiring one, and seeing that Shen Cuo is really capable, he couldn't help being very excited.

Although Shen Cuo had no intention of devoting herself to the imperial court at all, such praise and admiration still benefited her very much.

"Okay, let's stop here for today. You put all these evidences in my room, and I want to see them myself."

The county magistrate only hesitated for a moment and then complied. After all, Shen Cuo was so powerful that she really didn't need to use tricks to grab these evidences. Who could be her opponent?

Although Shen Cuo asked someone to prepare a few rooms, but at night, she let Erya and Huzi stay in her room.

The siblings went through a lot of things today, Erya was able to support her, but Huzi was already drowsy, and fell asleep early under the comfort of her sister.

Erya coaxed his younger brother to sleep, and when he went out to the ear room, he saw Shen Cuo sitting cross-legged on the couch with his eyes closed, resting his mind, and carefully relaxed his movements.

"How did you get out?"

But her every move obviously did not escape Shen Cuo's control, Erya was startled when she heard the voice, and quickly lowered her head and said: "Shen Zhang...Master Shen, I..."

"You can still call me shopkeeper Shen. I didn't want to reveal my identity, but these guys are too bullying."

Erya quickly changed her words: "Shopkeeper Shen, are you cold? I, I brought you a blanket."

Shen Cuo opened his eyes, and saw that Erya was holding a blanket in her arms, which looked familiar.

"Is this the blanket from the carriage?"

"I'm afraid you won't be used to other people's things. I asked Brother Chen Ding to take them out."

Shen Cuo was a little surprised, and looked at Erya with deep eyes, until he looked at Erya in panic, before he stretched out his hand and picked her up with the blanket into his arms.

"ah--"

Erya was unprepared, and let out a low cry in fright.

"In that case, you can stay here with me."

Shen Cuo really isn't used to other people's things, even if it's brand new, she won't feel at ease if it doesn't dry out for a few days.

But she didn't plan to fall asleep. The three of them are now in the tiger's den. Although they used force to suppress each other before, they can't take it lightly after sending Shen Ding, so they plan to use meditation instead of sleep for the next few days.

Even if she didn't meditate, it would not be a problem to support her for seven days and seven nights with her internal strength.

She didn't expect that after experiencing such a big battle today, Erya could not only remain calm, but also be so considerate.

Erya's small body was wrapped in Shen Cuo's arms, and the not-so-thick but soft and warm goose down blanket wrapped the two of them, and Erya's body quickly warmed up like a small stove.

"Shopkeeper Shen..." Erya looked at Shen Cuo uneasily, and hesitated, "Can Huzi and I really follow you?"

"What? Do you have any questions?"

"No..." Erya bit her lip, "It's just that you are so good... I, I don't know what to do to repay you."

"Hmph..." Shen Cuo hugged Er Ya a little tighter—she wasn't afraid of the cold, but her body temperature was lower than that of ordinary people, and she wanted more warmth.

Erya is not only petite, but also has a high body temperature. For her, she is a rare human-shaped small heater, "Say it as if I really need your return."

"But you help me like this...and help me find my sister..."

Shen Cuo raised his eyebrows, and understood Erya's worry a little bit.Erya hasn't found her sister yet, fearing that she will be favored too much, she no longer helps her find her sister.

It really measures the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!

Shen Cuo was unhappy and said: "What I want to do is only related to my own mood. When I am happy, I can repay my grievances with virtue. If I am unhappy, it means that you have saved me [-] times, so I don't bother to talk to you."

As soon as Erya heard this, she knew that shopkeeper Shen was unhappy, and said in a panic, "What should I do to make you happy?"

How to make Shen Cuo happy has always been a problem that the entire Tianming Sect wants to overcome.

However, the only ones who can really do this are the leader and her four personal maids.

"Well... then let's start by warming my bed, use your body."

Erya opened her eyes slightly, tilted her head to look at Shen Cuo's face, saw that her expression was serious and did not look like a joke, and asked cautiously: "Didn't you use the charcoal stove like before?"

Shen Cuo said: "That's natural. Every time you use up the charcoal stove, there is a smell of charcoal fire in the quilt. Your body is warm, and the warm bed is the best, just like now."

Among the four maids, Xie Yu was dedicated to warming her bed.But to be honest, in terms of the hand feel alone, it is more comfortable for Erya to hold her.

It is small, soft and warm, except that its bones are too thin, there is nothing wrong with it.Of course, this is not a difficult problem to solve, just gain some weight.

Although Er Ya didn't understand Shen Cuo's intentions, but this was something she could do, so naturally she wouldn't and couldn't refuse.

"I-I know..."

Shen Cuo was finally satisfied.

"Shopkeeper Shen..." Seeing that her face was calm, Erya became more courageous. Thinking of the series of events today, she felt extremely puzzled, "Since you are a high-ranking official and you are so powerful, why did you... get hurt in the first place?" ?”

Shen Cuo has fought against those so-called righteous people for many years, almost without defeat, only that one time he almost lost everything due to a careless move.

"Hmph, of course there is a traitor who harmed me."

Shen Cuo was full of anger when she thought about it, if it wasn't for her mother's affection, with her vengeful temperament, she would definitely make those pious villains unable to bear it.

"Are those bad guys like the county magistrate?"

"That's right! No, no, they are worse and more despicable than the county magistrate. If they hadn't used low-handed methods, how could they have trapped me?"

And in the end, she was allowed to escape. Those people probably haven't slept well in the past two years.

After hearing this, Erya was frightened, and said worriedly: "Then have these bad guys been punished now? Will they come to harm you again?"

Shen Cuo's expression changed, he suddenly covered Erya's mouth and nose, and snorted coldly: "It's fine if they don't come, if they really dare to come to Tai Sui to break ground, I will let them know what life is better than death."

Erya originally thought that Shen Cuo was answering her own question, but soon discovered that Shen Cuo was looking at the window with cold eyes.

She also looked towards the window suspiciously, only to see a small bamboo tube drilled through the papery window, and a wisp of white smoke was emitting at this time.

"Well--"

Erya was startled, but fortunately, Shen Cuo covered her mouth and nose and did not cry out.She hurriedly looked up at Shen Cuo, only to see a sneer on his face, and the other hand had already reached into her arms.

Erya didn't know why, but Shen Cuo had already found something out of her arms, and shot it out of the window with a snap of his fingers.

The sharp sound of piercing through the air was fleeting, followed by a few cries of pain from outside.

Er Ya only felt a lightness on her body, and she was hugged by Shen Cuo and went out of the broken window, only to see several people lying in disorder under the window.

There are even a few figures retreating to the distance in a panic under the cover of the night.

"Where to run!"

Shen Cuo held Erya with one hand, and took something from her arms with the other——

Erya already knew what it was, and Shen mistakenly handed over the money bag to her for safekeeping, so what was thrown out were copper coins and broken silver.

When the sun rises, we must pick it up.

When Er Ya was thinking this way, she heard a few more screams and the sound of falling.

At this time, the county magistrate and others were finally alarmed by these noises, and gathered the night watchmen to come to support with torches.

"Master Yushi, Lord Yushi, are you injured?"

"How could a group of Xiaoxiao hurt me?" Shen Cuo said while stepping on the chest of a person at her feet, "I tied them all with ropes and took them to the yard."

The people who invaded at night were basically the county government's catchers, and they had some punches in their hands.

But he couldn't resist Shen Cuo's blow at all, and when the county magistrate and others went to capture him, he was still rolling all over the ground without any strength to fight back.

A group of seven or eight people almost reached half of the yamen servants selected by the county magistrate. If it weren't for Shen's wrong seat, it might be in danger tonight.

Seeing that everyone had been caught, Shen Cuo said to the county magistrate: "You go and take the magistrate and others here as well. It won't work. Maybe the people above them will abandon the car to protect the commander. I will take care of them personally. .”

The county magistrate did not expect Shen Cuo to be so thoughtful, and hurriedly led the team to the prison for escort.

Although Shen Cuo doesn't know the rules and regulations of their officialdom, he is very aware of the dirty methods of these corrupt officials.Now I only sigh that I have no one under my command, and I have to do everything myself.

fine……

She looked at Er Ya who was still in her arms, with only a small head showing.

Although the night is long, she has a warm stove to hug.
