hidden old spring

Su Changan sat there and listened to the county magistrate's trial. Just as she was listening intently, she heard a woman's sharp scream, which startled her. Then there seemed to be chaos in front of her, and then another After a while, the yamen servant came over and said he would take her back.

Su Changan stood up and looked at the government servant with some confusion.

"Did something happen?"

The officer didn't hide it.

"The guilty woman Qin Niang is not in good spirits, and the master has decided to postpone the trial."

The scream just now was indeed quite sharp. Su Changan swallowed and accepted this statement.

"Then, why did the county magistrate come to me?"

After this trip, she hadn't been summoned yet, and Su Changan didn't know what happened.

The yamen officer didn't hide anything and directly told Su Changan the truth.

"The three villains you encountered before were not accidents. The first time Li Hutou was Qin Niang... Zhao Xiucai's concubine... Li Hutou wanted to kill you because Qin Niang was the cause, because you hurt her son. Chapter [-] The one who set the fire the second time was Li Hutou’s brother, and the one who was caught two days ago was Li Hutou’s son. They are both jealous of you for arresting Li Hutou.”

Su Changan's donkey is no ordinary donkey. The reason why Li Hutou has been able to live freely outside for so long and has done so many evil things is because his combat power is definitely not low.

But Li Hutou like this, with a murderous weapon in his hand, is no match for a donkey, and he doesn't even run away. This thing will explode no matter where he puts it.

Su Changan also felt that this matter was quite explosive, but she felt that the explosive point was that Qin Niang wanted to kill her.

"I just hit her son on the head with a bench...he didn't even have a bulge."

The officer nodded. Indeed, after their investigation, Su Changan basically did not cause any harm to Zhao Qinglang.

But her behavior did arouse Qin Niang's dissatisfaction.

"Maybe that woman is also a lunatic." The yamen servant said with emotion.

Su Changan was convinced, and then asked again after thinking about it.

"I heard that Zhao Xiucai had a stroke?"

"No, he was poisoned by Qin Niang. He was rescued in time, but the poison invaded his lungs and he couldn't get up."

"Why?" Su Changan was puzzled, why would a good mistress poison the scumbag?
The government officials were also very puzzled by this.

"It seems that the child she gave birth to is not as good at reading as the child born to Cui Gu, and her brother and nephew were arrested. She can't think about it..."

This reason is untenable, but if anything else, there is nothing else.

The yamen servant looked at Su Changan who looked puzzled, but the middle-aged yamen servant grinned and said something.

"There are so many unexplainable cases. Some of them were just because a passer-by took one more look at a man's wife and she was beaten. There was that murderer who killed a family of eleven people just because of that. The newborn baby cries at night..."

This yamen servant has been in the yamen for a long time and has seen many cases.

Not all cases are caused by deep hatred. Sometimes they are just emotional and commit crimes in a daze.

The yamen officer felt that this case should be like this, but Su Changan, a half-year-old girl, couldn't figure it out.

Su Chang'an was finally taken back by Chen Liu. Chen Liu came to deliver tofu to the Yamen and happened to take Su Chang'an back, which also saved her from walking all the way.

Zhao Qingzhuo helped Cui Gu go home and entered the Zhao family's door. He looked at the housekeeper who came out, and the first thing he asked was.

"How is father?"

He had been dismissive of Zhao Qingzhuo before, but now he was slightly bent, his words and expression were respectful.

"Back to the young master, I'm awake. I just lost my temper and haven't taken the medicine yet." Zhao Qingzhuo asked in the second sentence.

"What about Zhao Qinglang?"

"The second young master is still locked up in the woodshed to reflect. He hasn't eaten anything."

In the third sentence, Zhao Qingzhuo said.

"Father, find a strong boy to serve him. There is no need to save on the soup and medicine." There is no need to save on the soup and medicine because he has to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine. If he cuts off the medicine for his father at this time, it will inevitably be known to others, which will give him a bad reputation.

As for the rest, leave it to Dali, there is no need to ask him again.

The housekeeper understood, but pretended to be confused and complimented.

"The eldest young master has a kind heart. He treats you and his wife like this, and you treat him like this. It's really touching to see your filial piety."

Zhao Qingzhuo wanted to study and his reputation in the imperial examination was most important.

The 'filial piety' mentioned by the butler was on point.

As soon as the butler opened his mouth, he implicitly stated that he would spread Zhao Qingzhuo's reputation as a filial son.

The two of them exchanged words as they went back and forth.

The housekeeper treated the mother and daughter badly before, but now he is still useful, and he changes quickly and knows who is autonomous at this time, so Zhao Qingzhuo decided to keep him for a while before he took full charge of the house.

The housekeeper also knows that what he did in the past was a bit of a villain, and now he is trying hard to please Zhao Qingzhuo, hoping that Zhao Qingzhuo will be lenient.

The master and servant seemed to be in harmony, especially since the housekeeper had already arranged for two maids to help Cuigu to wash up without his instructions. When he came to his father's study, the family's account books and warehouse The keys are already on the table.

So far, Zhao Qingzhuo was quite satisfied. Even when he sat on the chair, he could no longer suppress the joy in his heart and his face showed two points.

Of course, his joy only lasted so far.

He frowned when he opened the account book and turned to the end to see how much money he still had at home.

"There are only 74 taels of silver left at home?"

Zhao Qingzhuo raised his voice in a harsh tone, and the housekeeper hurriedly bent down to explain.

"The master's 'disease' is difficult to cure. Even the best doctor in the city only said that he should take good medicine to take care of it. Maybe it can last a month or two." The implication is that good medicine is expensive. Now Master Zhao still has He is alive because he has good medicine. If he wants Master Zhao to live for a while longer, the cost will be even greater.

The housekeeper secretly glanced at Zhao Qingzhuo's face. Although the still immature young man had learned to hide his expression, he was still too immature. At this time, his flaws were obviously exposed.

Disgust, boredom and disappointment were all evident to these butlers.

So he lowered his head, looked no further, and sighed.

"A pack of the master's medicine costs five taels of silver, and I need to take three pills every day..."

74 taels of silver, this amount of money is considered a huge amount of money for an ordinary family. For a family with a scholar, this amount of money can also be used for studying for a period of time.

But for the Zhao family, where a pack of medicine costs five taels of silver, no more than five days would be left in their account!
At this moment, let alone Zhao Qingzhuo, even the housekeeper wanted to stop Zhao Xiucai's medicine.

But no, at least not yet.

If Zhao Qingzhuo wants to be famous, he can't stop taking his father's medicine, at least not until the end of the road...
