Chapter 41: Mr. Zhang Likes Little Babies



Some people who couldn't buy a big yellow ox rode a black buffalo for plowing the fields, which had a sled hanging on it.

The most outrageous thing is that people who don’t have big yellow cattle or black buffaloes actually rode a white hairy cow. In short, in the eyes of these noble children, as long as it is a cow, it can take advantage of Miss Jun’s popularity.

For a time, riding a cow became a trend in the capital, and the value of the big yellow cow also soared with the hype.

People who do cattle business make a lot of money, but they never thought that they would be able to take advantage of the popularity of cattle in their lifetime.

Jun Shutong couldn't help but frown as she watched the increasing number of large yellow cows on the street. Her original intention of riding a cow was because there were no horse-drawn carriages at that time, so she had to ride a cow. But what about these rich young men and women?

[System, why aren't they riding in carriages anymore?]

[Don’t they have any extra carriages at home?]

System: [Host, it's not that they don't have money to ride a carriage, but they think riding a cow is cooler. Ultimately, it all comes down to the scene where Jun Jianguo stepped on the old woman and knocked the carriage over, which was seen by many people.]

They believe that cows are strong, human-like, and know how to protect their owners. Riding an ox is more prestigious than riding in a horse-drawn carriage. Those people are just following the trend.

The system excitedly said: [Host, you are actually leading the trend in the royal capital.]

Jun Shutong: [Haha, I knew it, my charm is everywhere.]

The next day.

It was just dawn and Jun Shutong had not yet gotten up when the Minister of Justice Zhang Yunqi arrived.

"Miss, Lord Zhang from the Ministry of Justice is here. He seems very anxious and specifically wants to see you."

In a daze, Jun Shutong thought of someone who asked her to tell her fortune, but actually asked her for help.

"Why is he looking for me instead of going to court?"

"No, I'm so sleepy."

After she finished speaking, she pulled the quilt over her head and continued to sleep.

System: [Host, have you forgotten that you are now a non-staff member of the Criminal Department? He came to see you at this time, there must be something.]

Jun Shutong was speechless: [But I wasn't awake yet. Why didn't he wait until I woke up before coming? Disturbing someone's sleep is like stealing their money and killing them. Doesn't he know that?]

System: [Host, this is a good opportunity to visit the Ministry of Justice Prison. Don't you want to go and take a look?]

Jun Shutong threw back the quilt: "I'll go."

The drowsiness disappeared in an instant.

Normally, Zhang Yunqi would not let her visit the Heavenly Prison casually, so of course she had to cherish the opportunity that came her way.

When he saw Zhang Yunqi again, he was still as restless and anxious as last time.

Seeing Jun Shutong coming out, Zhang Yunqi came to greet him with shining eyes. Before coming, he had not hoped that Jun Shutong would get up at this time, but just came to wait with the lucky mentality.

"Hello, Miss Jun. I'm sorry to bother you so early this morning. I really need your help with something important."

"Master Zhang, don't be in a hurry. Take your time."

Xia Xue added more tea for him, handed milk to her young lady, and stepped aside.

Zhang Yunqi looked at the little baby in front of him, chirping and holding a milk bottle, and for a moment, he was a little dazed.

"Miss Jun, to be honest, I have to ask for your help again this time. The people in the Ministry of Justice haven't slept for two days and two nights because of this matter."

It turned out that Emperor Shunde's fighting cocks were drugged and all of them died. The palace servants who took care of the fighting cocks thought it was fowl plague. After dealing with the dead chickens, they replaced them with another batch, but they still died. After replacing several batches, the palace servants finally realized something was wrong. The imperial physician checked and found that the fighting cocks had been poisoned.

Emperor Shunde was furious. One of his lifelong hobbies was cockfighting. How could he tolerate this? He immediately ordered a thorough investigation. After a few days, the thief was not caught, and two of his beloved mysterious beasts were poisoned to death.

So Zhang Yunqi took over this bizarre case. The emperor gave him three days to find the culprit, otherwise the entire Ministry of Justice would be punished.

Now, he thought of this non-staff member again.

Jun Shutong: [System, quickly check, what happened to the emperor's fighting cock? Was it really poisoned to death?]

The system had already begun investigating the moment Zhang Yunqi finished speaking: [The emperor's fighting cocks and mysterious beasts were indeed poisoned, but it wasn't by a thief, but by the empress and several concubines in the palace, the women of the Fujiwara clan.]

[Oh, why would the Fujiwara family do this? ]

Not only Jun Shutong was curious, but even Zhang Yunqi moved his stool forward two steps.

In Xia Xue's opinion, this Lord Zhang just wanted to get closer to watch her young lady drink milk.

Her young lady is very beautiful and even drinks milk in an extremely elegant way.

Xia Xue: I didn’t expect that Lord Zhang actually likes little kids.

The system continued: [Your emperor is obsessed with cockfighting. He's been sleeping and eating with his cock in his arms lately. If he weren't afraid of the ministers and historians nagging him, he would even want to hold his cock in his arms during court.]

The Queen and the concubines were afraid he would contract fowl plague again, so they teamed up to poison all of his fighting cocks and mysterious beasts.

Zhang Yunqi's face twitched when he heard this. The poisoning case had become the emperor's family affair. Should he investigate it or not? And how should he investigate it?

He forced a smile that was uglier than crying and said flatteringly, "Miss Jun, have you figured out anything?"

Jun Shutong did not hide anything and repeated what the system said, then turned around and went back to sleep.

She had wanted to visit the Ministry of Justice prison, but now that it became the emperor's family affair, she lost interest.

Zhang Yunqi was anxious. Even if he told this to others, the emperor would not believe it. Not only would the emperor not believe it, but the women of the Fujiwara family would also make him bear the crime of slander.

Although I am not afraid, it is difficult to explain things clearly in a short time.

If Miss Jun were to speak out in person in the court, the case could be solved and he could stay out of it. I think the Queen would not dare to make things difficult for Miss Jun for the sake of the Jun family.
