Every time a man in black tried to plot against Xiao Jinyan, or used his numbers to bully the weak, Shen Chuwei would shoot him with glass beads.
Every shot hits the target.
Xiao Jinyu stared at the slingshot in Shen Chuwei's hand, wanting it very much. He asked expectantly: "Sister-in-law, do you have any more slingshots? Give me one."
"No more." Shen Chuwei clenched the slingshot in his hand, and felt relieved when he saw that the black clothes had been almost cleared.
Xiao Jinyu found that a slingshot was also useful as it could be used to attack enemies from a distance.
"When I get back, I'll make one myself."
After dealing with the man in black, Xiao Jinyan ordered: "Take the body back."
"I obey your command." Qin Xiao brought the body back to the magistrate's residence.
Shen Chuwei had already taken off her coat and disposed of her mask and disposable gloves.
Xiao Jinyan looked at her quick movements and asked, "Have you ever been a coroner?"
Shen Chuwei nodded, "I helped a friend do it for a while, but then I stopped doing it."
She used to work as a forensic pathologist because she was tricked by a friend. After working for a year, she quit after her friend came back.
The professions of forensic pathologist and coroner are similar.
Xiao Jinyan nodded: "I didn't realize you know so much."
Shen Chu smiled guiltily, "A little bit."
Xiao Jinyan: "Too modest."
Shen Chu smiled and said nothing.
After returning to the county magistrate's residence, Xiao Jinyan asked someone to call Magistrate Luo over.
Magistrate Luo came over with a flattering smile, "Governor, what do you want me to do?"
Xiao Jinyan said coldly: "You said that Wei Shuli died of tuberculosis? I just had someone re-examine the body. Wei Shuli did not die of tuberculosis, but was deliberately killed. How do you explain it?"
Magistrate Luo said with a guilty conscience: "Your Excellency the Governor, I don't know either. These are all told to me by the coroner."
Xiao Jinyan asked coldly: "Where is the coroner?"
Magistrate Luo said, "The coroner asked for leave to go home yesterday because of something."
Xiao Jinyan sneered, "This is really a coincidence."
Magistrate Luo smiled and said, "Who said no? I told him to come back two days later, but he was in a hurry to go back, saying that his mother was seriously ill and needed someone to take care of her."
Xiao Jinyan ordered in a cold voice: "Come here, bring the coroner up."
Wei Chi walked in carrying a thin man.
"I am the coroner of Yongqian City. My name is Zuo Xiaoliu. I am honored to meet you, Your Excellency the Governor." Zuo Xiaoliu bowed his head.
When County Magistrate Luo saw Zuo Xiaoliu’s face turned pale with fright, he thought, “He had clearly left, so why did he come back?”
Xiao Jinyan's eyes were sharp: "Wei Shuli, were you the one who examined the body?"
Zuo Xiaoliu said tremblingly: "I was the one who examined the body."
Xiao Jinyan asked again: "What are the results of the autopsy?"
"The autopsy results..." Zuo Xiaoliu glanced at County Magistrate Luo and said cautiously, "When I performed the autopsy, Wei Shuli did not die of tuberculosis. I don't know the cause of death. It was County Magistrate Luo who told me to say that he died of tuberculosis."
Zuo Xiaoliu kowtowed desperately after saying this, "Please spare my life, sir."
Magistrate Luo was both angry and afraid, "You are talking nonsense. When did I teach you this?"
Xiao Jinyan shouted angrily: "Zhixian Luo Cheng, what crime should you be charged with?"
Magistrate Luo kowtowed desperately, "Governor, I am innocent!"
Xiao Jinyan's voice was icy: "Unjust? You killed Wei Shuli, falsified accounts, and embezzled public funds. You deserve to be killed!"
County Magistrate Luo was so frightened that he shook and was speechless for a long time.
Xiao Jinyan ordered, "Come here, detain Magistrate Luo and bring him back to Kyoto to wait for the Emperor's decision."
"I obey your command." Wei Chi dragged County Magistrate Luo away.
Xiao Jinyan checked all the account books overnight and even asked Xiao Jinyu to look at them together.
What he got in return was a slap from Xiao Jinyan: "Even if you don't understand, show it to me!"
Xiao Jinyu touched his forehead in grievance and continued watching obediently.
Shen Chuwei poured a cup of hot tea and placed it on Xiao Jinyan's right hand side, "Your Highness, have some tea."
"Yeah." Xiao Jinyan continued to look at the account book.
After watching for a while, Xiao Jinyan raised his head and said, "It's late, go and rest first."
Shen Chuwei was indeed feeling sleepy at this moment. She yawned and asked, "When will Your Highness rest?"
Xiao Jinyan: "I will have to wait a little longer."
"Then I'll go to sleep first." Shen Chuwei got up and walked into the inner room.
Seeing that Shen Chuwei had gone to sleep, Xiao Jinyu looked at Xiao Jinyan expectantly: "Brother, I'm sleepy too, can I go to sleep too?"
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
Xiao Jinyan looked at him coldly, "What do you think?"
Xiao Jinyu pinched her thigh hard, and said while enduring the pain: "I'm not that sleepy yet, you can continue watching."
Only then did Xiao Jinyan retract his gaze and continue looking at the account book.
It was already three o'clock in the morning when Xiao Jinyan finished his work.
Xiao Jinyu yawned and went back to his room.
After taking a shower, Xiao Jinyan walked into the inner room. The person on the bed was sleeping soundly. He lifted the quilt and lay down. He reached out and pulled the person into his arms. He couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.
* The next day was sunny and a good day for getting married.
Shen Chuwei held Xuetuan and fed it sausage, watching Xiao Jinyu get a branch from somewhere and was cutting it bit by bit with a knife, trying to make it into a slingshot.
Miss Han held the teacup and drank it slowly, as if she was watching Xiao Jinyu doing handicrafts.
She actually found some sweetness in it!
At this time, firecrackers sounded from the side door and the children cheered and shouted.
"I want wedding candy. I want wedding candy."
"The bride is so beautiful."
Chunxi came running over, "My lady, a wealthy family is getting married, and they are marrying two sisters at the same time. Do you want to go and watch the fun?"
Shen Chu was slightly interested, "Go and have a look, see if you can grab some wedding candy."
Because in her place, wedding candies would be thrown out for people to grab at weddings, but later on they were just given out directly, so there was no more fun in grabbing the candies.
Shen Chuwei came to the side door with Xuetuan and Chunxi in her arms, and saw people watching the fun on both sides of the street. There were loud gongs and drums, and firecrackers were blasting, it was very lively.
The children ran and shouted, scrambled for the wedding candies, and laughed happily.
Chunxi took a look and said, "My lady, this wealthy family's wedding is different, with a grand ceremony. I heard that this wealthy family is a well-known local businessman, and they have many concubines and maids."
"Fortunately, the sisters can take care of each other and no longer have to worry about food and clothing."
Shen Chuwei listened and thought that in modern times, that would be a serious matter. Not only did he have concubines and maids at home, but he also married two sisters.
But it was normal in ancient times.
Just like Xiao Jinyan, doesn’t he also have many wives and concubines?
"It is more important than anything else for a woman to marry into a good family. However, since you are the concubine of His Highness, it is considered a good marriage." Chunxi said happily.
Shen Chuwei didn't respond because Chunxi was a person from ancient times.
She sighed inwardly, is it good to share a husband with a bunch of women?
As soon as Xiao Jinyan walked over, he heard Shen Chuwei's inner thoughts.
There are still 4,000 words and two chapters left. I don’t know if I can finish them before midnight.
I'm acting cute and coquettishly to ask for monthly tickets and recommendation votes!
