Pastoral Full Fragrance: Fool Xiang Gong is so black-bellied

Chapter 719 Official Business (4)

Yuan Liang thought that since he was a recidivist, he must not have only stolen cattle once, so he asked: "Shen Butou, has Qinghe County lost many cattle recently?"

Shen Butou bowed his head and said: "My lord, I just took office not long ago, so I don't know much about it."

Yes, yes, he was confused, how did Catcher Shen know what happened before?You should ask Master Liu about this kind of thing.

Yuan Liang called Mr. Liu to inquire about this matter. Mr. Liu reported the truth and did not dare to hide it. He said: "Recently, there have indeed been many heads of households who lost cattle to report to the officials, but they were all rejected by the former county magistrate with the sentence 'not accepted'." I refuted it back, and I don’t know exactly how many cows were lost.”

Yuan Liang shouted angrily: "It's ridiculous, isn't the cow not life?"

For poor families, a cow is the life of a family, right?
The previous county magistrate was simply disregarding human lives, so it's best not to be caught by him in the future, or his official career will come to an end.

Seeing him getting angry, Shen Butou and Master Liu lowered their heads and dared not make a sound.

As night fell outside the window, Yuan Liang waved his hands and said with a tired face: "Okay, it's getting late, you all go back to rest?"

The two bowed their heads and left.

There was silence in the simple study.Yuan Liang lit a candle, and the bright candle flame flickered. He sat in the study and thought for a long time. He didn't return to the bedroom until the willow tip was on the moon.

In the bedroom, the lights are bright.

Yuan Liang closed the door, turned around, raised his eyes, and met Shang Ru Yi's clear eyes, he was surprised: "Daughter-in-law, you haven't slept yet?"

Ru Yi said softly: "Well, I can't sleep at night after sleeping for a long time during the day."

Yuan Liang said, "Well, go to bed early."

He walked to the cradle and saw Bao Bao sleeping soundly, so he didn't disturb him.

The man's face was full of tiredness, and Ru Yi felt distressed when he saw it, and said, "Ah Liang, I think you haven't had much rest since you became a parent officer. Don't be too tired, your body is important."

She had just given birth and was confinement, so she couldn't help him much, so she had to take care of herself and not cause him any trouble.

"I will take care of myself." Yuan Liang took off his clothes, revealing his pure white underwear. He put it on beside the bed, hugged her tightly, and said, "Daughter-in-law, when you are confinement, I will take you to the surrounding area." play."

The two of them had been in Qinghe County for so long, and it seemed that neither of them had a good view of the surrounding scenery.

Ru Yi leaned against his chest like a little woman, listening to his strong heartbeat, inexplicably felt at ease, as if it was good to have him by his side.

Like before, she never felt this kind of peace of mind, maybe because she slowly accepted him in her heart, she began to rely on his existence.

She replied softly: "OK, let's go together."

In the middle of the night, it began to rain suddenly.

Early in the morning, the ground was wet and not yet dry.

Today is the day for hearing the 'Cause Lost Case', before the opening time, the gate of the county government office is already full of people.

Yuan Liang was wearing an official uniform, sitting on the high hall in high spirits, with a pair of sharp eyes looking solemnly at everyone in the court hall.

Under the courtroom, Old Wu and Old Liu both knelt on the ground.

Yuan Liang slapped the sutra hall and said majestically, "Bring the prisoner to the hall."

Afterwards, several middle-aged men were taken to the courtroom by the yamen servants with drooping faces, and then knelt on the ground with dispirited expressions.

After some interrogation, Yuan Liang kept his mouth shut and said nothing at first, but he was not a benevolent person, so he became furious and said, "Come here, take them down and torture them until they speak up." until."
