Cute Beauty’s Romantic Affairs - C106
“Yes!” Liu Qingping’s resolute and decisive attitude made the County Magistrate and the General feel ashamed. For the sake of their people, they had no sense of shame at all.
“Mm …” Wu Sinan felt a little awkward as he walked around the room twice. This matter was not easy to settle, silver could not be paid out of thin air, but he could not give the Lord Liu any face.
Finally, Wu Sinan used his fan to pat his head, “I got it!”
“How?”
“Since the Lord Liu is doing this for the citizens of a county, and the irrigation ditch is being built for everyone, why don’t we split the money and share the burden?”
Liu Jiqing listened silently. This bastard, he still hoped that this straw bag would have some good methods, what kind of scheme was this, one thousand silver taels for one county, I don’t even have enough food, not to mention silver, I don’t even have enough money. The canal was constructed to protect their lives. This was good, they might as well take their lives in advance.
He felt really bitter in his heart, but he could not say anything. Liu Jiqing praised him dryly, “Hehe, your nephew is really smart. This idea is not bad. I wonder what business does nephew have today? ”
Hurry up and tell it then get lost!
“I came here for nothing this time, except that there’s a murder case in the Lin Family Village that I think has some hidden meaning. I want to investigate it and hope that Lord Liu can lend me two of the Big Brother constables to accompany me on my journey.”
Liu Jiqing felt as if he wanted to take off his shoes and beat this prodigal son up. “He finally realized that Ye Zichen is someone who likes to cause trouble when he has nothing better to do.” What kind of crime did Lin Family Village commit? How come I’ve never heard of it? ”
Wu Sinan rubbed his nose, a little embarrassed, “If he’s a fisherman, then he’s dead. It was that twenty year old widow of his … “She is quite pretty.”
When he said this, the county magistrate and the annals could no longer hold it in. They wiped off their cold sweat, afraid that the magistrate would be angered to the point of fainting.
“Go, go. I’ll have Eldest Liu and Second Liu go with you. Nephew, go quickly.”
With permission, Wu Sinan walked away swaggering his fan.
Seeing him walk far away, Liu Jiqing shook his head, “I wonder if my Wu Family is really at the end, this kind of trash can also become the clan’s trump card.”
“Master is wise, but what he said was not without reason. “I might not be able to afford a thousand taels of silver, but those rich families in the city …”
The canonical history was that of a middle-aged man with narrowed eyes. He would twist the beard at the corner of his mouth and act treacherously like an old fox.
“You mean the merchants?” Liu Jiqing thought for a moment, he felt that this was a good place to start, but how to pull the feathers of those iron roosters was the key.
Wu Sinan brought Eldest Liu Da and rushed over to Lin Family Village on horseback. Eldest Liu was Liu Jiqing’s servant, a trusted aide who had been raised since he was young, so naturally, he was loyal to Liu Jiqing. Even if he was sent out on such a hot day, he would have no complaints.
They were both rough guys, so it wasn’t a big deal for them to rush to Lin Family Village under the bright sun, but the moment Wu Sinan got off the horse, he felt his vision go dark, and the sky started to spin. If not for Eldest Liu noticing and supporting him, he might have fallen to the ground and eaten his shit.
Floating Stone also followed in his horse. He almost couldn’t take it. When he saw that his young master had fainted, he anxiously said, “Hurry, hurry. Take the young master to a cool place first!”
Liu Da and Liu Er immediately brought Wu Sinan back to the village and arrived at the Village Chief’s house. The Village Chief also recognized Wu Sinan and told him to place him in the guest room.
After waking up, Wu Sinan felt a headache coming on. Forget about going to solve the case, even if he wanted to go home, he had to take the sun above his head and refuse the village chief’s advances. He then ran over to Jiaoniang’s house with a fan in his hand.
Jiaoniang’s family was even hotter than the village chief’s house, people who did not move would perspire all over, while people who were young enough to run around in their undergarments, were different. The entire family was drenched in sweat after Xia Yi changed, no one was willing to stay at home.
Regardless of man or woman, young or old, they all liked to go to the entrance of the village to take shelter under the big tree. There was even water under the tree, so the occasional gust of wind was quite comfortable. But the wind from this damned weather was still hot.
Originally, Jiaoniang had planned to let the construction team start anew, but the weather was too hot, and Jiaoniang was afraid of suffering from heatstroke.
However, she had come up with something recently. It was soy beans, a special northern sauce. The method was also very simple. It could be made using salt or soybeans.
After cooking the soybeans and shelling them in the sun, they would dry in the sun. As long as it didn’t rain, the soy beans would be considered to have been made.
There was no need to think about rain this time of year. The sun was shining brightly when you looked up. Jiaoniang took this opportunity to boil the sauce, and rolled up his sleeves to his elbows as beads of perspiration the size of beans dripped down.
Huang Yi was still in the house studying on the problems that Jiaoniang had given him. As a multi-functional talent, oh no, a genius. He was willing to study all kinds of ideas that Jiaoniang had, regardless of how hot the room was.
Wang Meihua brought the few children to the tree to take shelter from the heat. Cheng Huanzhong took care of the pigsty as he poured water into the pigsty every hour. In this kind of weather, not only people were afraid of the heat, even pigs were afraid.
When Wu Sinan arrived at Jiaoniang’s home, the courtyard door was wide open, a bamboo bed was placed under the tree inside the courtyard, but there was not a single person inside. When he walked over to the mill and saw that the brute was stirring the soy beans in the pot in front of the boiler, Jiaoniang whispered something to him and occasionally added some firewood to the furnace while wiping his sweat.
“What are you doing on such a hot day?” Wu Sinan could feel the heat coming from the furnace even from far away, even while waving his fan.
“I’m boiling some beans. Why are you here? Such a hot day. ” Jiaoniang said as he placed the towel on Ye Xuan’s shoulder. At this time, in order to cook the beans, the two of them had already started sweating, and the two of them were so silly that they didn’t want to take advantage of the cold.
“What are beans for?”
The two of them did not walk far, they stood under the tree, and Ye Xuan could see them. Jiaoniang did not answer him. He knew that it was too early to say that the soy beans had not been done yet.
“Why are you here?”
Wu Sinan curled his lips, feeling a little sour, “Why can’t I come?”
As soon as he said that, he knew that he said the wrong thing and quickly made up for it, “Didn’t you tell me last time that Wang Lao’er died with gold? “I wanted to check it out, but how could there be such an evil thing in this world? So I asked the county magistrate to lend me two bailiffs to check it out. But it’s too hot, so I don’t want to go.”
Jiaoniang laughed lightly, “The weather is indeed a little too hot, I don’t know when I can go down to the rain to cool off. Why don’t you ask me about it when the evening is cooler?”
“Let’s go to the courtyard first. I’ll make you some tea to relieve the heat.” Jiaoniang laughed, his white lotus arms almost knocked him out, Wu Sinan wiped the sweat off his forehead, feeling that today was truly a bit hot.
But as soon as he let go of his sweaty hand, he saw the cold eyes of the grim-faced man.
