Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

Xie Zhao posed a problem to Jiang Yuzhu.

In her previous life, as a female forensic doctor, Jiang Yuzhu always suffered from some occupational diseases, but as the daughter of a wealthy family, it was obviously inappropriate to study these.

In addition, Jiang Yuzhu was afraid that Xie Zhao would be sentimental and thought she was making changes for him.

Now the two of them are fine if they don't interfere with each other.

This is a balanced relationship that Jiang Yuzhu doesn't want to break.

Thinking of this, she smiled and replied: "Because looking at these, it seems that I am very knowledgeable."

Xie Zhao's eyes fluctuated, then became calm, and he didn't know whether to believe it or not.

Jiang Yuzhu added: "I have recently realized that if I study Daqi Law more, I will not suffer any loss, but I can also avoid risks."

Facts have proved that Jiang Yuzhu was right in sending the prince of Mao Kingdom, Jia Xinglin, who framed her.

"What Madam has read is relatively simple. If you are really interested, you can read the real files in the Yamen."

Xie Zhao opened the small table and took out a thick pile.

Jiang Yuzhu took it and opened it, and was startled by the blood-stained cloth inside. She looked at Xie Zhao and asked, "Master, what are these?"

Xie Zhao calmly replied: "I took it by mistake. There are evidences in this book."

Jiang Yuzhu was speechless and looked through the oil lamp quickly.

Most of them are cases of human trafficking, and the huge number is shocking.

Jiang Yuzhu's eyebrows twitched and she asked, "Are there really so many?"

In one city in the North alone, thousands of people disappeared within a year.

On the northern border of Daqi, it is a small place where birds don't poop, and most people can't see it when they look up.

This number of missing people means that on average, one family in every several dozen families has been affected.

Xie Zhao handed over another book and said: "There is resistance to the investigation in Beidi. This is only part of it."

Jiang Yuzhu was even more shocked.

Daqi is different from modern times. The buying and selling of people is legal, and there are people everywhere for reselling.

There are always costs associated with reselling, and some families have no choice but to sell their babies. If the family's conditions were better, they would ask to redeem the baby.

It's not cost-effective for Renyazi. They want to do big business, and trafficking can be done once and for all. As long as their hands and feet are clean, there will be no future troubles.

"Sir, are you leaving Beijing on New Year's Eve just to catch a gangster?"

Jiang Yuzhu rubbed her sore forehead. She had suspected before that catching the gangster was just a cover.

Xie Zhao showed admiration: "Madam is smart."

Following the clues from Songzhulou, there is a nest in Qunma County, which is under the capital.

Because the water involved behind the scenes was too deep, Xie Zhao was ordered by the emperor to secretly investigate the matter thoroughly.

No matter how secretive it is, Li Jing will still be noticed.

"So this trip is actually risky?"

Jiang Yuzhu called out that it was unlucky that she and Xie Zhao were enjoying the cold wind in the wilderness when they should be celebrating the New Year in the capital.

The emperor issued an imperial edict, and she mainly wanted to be a companion, purely to give away her life.

Jiang Yuzhu regretted so much that she pursed her lips and remained silent.

Xie Zhao observed the words and expressions, and noticed Jiang Yuzhu's annoyance, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "What, do you think Madam dislikes troubling her husband?"

I despise it, of course I despise it!

Thinking this in her heart, Jiang Yuzhu said it tactfully, showing a hint of worry and said: "No, we are husband and wife, and I am worried about the safety of the master."

Jiang Yuzhu cursed, hoping that the person who had done the dirty work would find the right target and have some moral integrity, so that she, an innocent and weak woman, would not get hurt.

Xie Zhao's narrow black eyes were startled, and he said meaningfully: "To each other."

At this moment, Jiang Yuzhu still didn't quite understand the meaning of Xie Zhao's words.

It rained heavily until nightfall, and the showers began to subside.

The carriage stopped on both sides of the official road, and Liang An hung a wind lantern on the tree for lighting.

In winter the leaves turn yellow and the branches cast shadows on the ground.

The lights under the tree flickered on and off, Jiang Yuzhu rolled up her sleeves and was picking peppers with her delicate hands.

Her face was unclear. She occasionally chatted with Hongxiu and Hongjin, and her lips were slightly curved, showing that she was in a good mood.

Xie Zhao stood in the shadows, his dark eyes darkening.

"Sir, my wife is making grilled fish. This time she added a lot of side dishes. After eating the fish, the red soup can also add a handful of noodles."

Liang An is looking forward to it.

When it comes to eating and enjoying, no one can compare to the Jiang family.

It was just a trip to deliver a few carriages of things.

There were so many things that I couldn’t take with me, so in the end I picked and picked and packed half of the carriage.

Jiang Yuzhu specially brought ham from the south, and the maids sliced ​​it thinly and put it on the grilled fish, and the aroma spread far and wide.

"My lady is so lucky."

Liang An was very envious, but found that ordinary people couldn't be jealous at all.

No matter her family background or appearance, she really looks like God's own daughter.

No matter how you seek death, there are a lot of people standing behind you to protect you.

Xie Zhao agreed: "Perhaps this is the benefit of being a woman in the back house?"

Jiang Yuzhu lived wantonly and spent all her time pleasing herself every day.

She doesn't worry about running out of money, doesn't worry about getting into trouble and having no one to clean up the mess, and naturally doesn't need to care about the sufferings of the people.

Xie Zhao is in the court and shoulders important responsibilities.

If evil people are allowed to commit crimes, the people will suffer in the end.

Some things have to be done by someone, and Xie Zhao would rather that person be him.

Liang'an felt a little uncomfortable and lamented that the master lived like an ascetic. It would be better if he learned to enjoy the hardships.

Soon, Hong Xiu opened the lid, and the hot breath rose.

Jiang Yuzhu greeted: "Master, it's time to eat!"

Due to the heavy rain, I missed the dinner time, and the dinner became a midnight snack.

Xie Zhao came upon hearing the sound and sat opposite Jiang Yuzhu.

He picked up the grilled fish that Liang An had been talking about for a long time, and then picked up the chopsticks faster.

The fish in the nearby river only weighed three to four kilograms, which was not as good as the large silver carp from Weifu Villa. However, it tasted very delicious without any earthy smell.

After the meal, Xie Zhao felt warm and refreshed.

For a grilled fish, add noodles twice, and in the end the red soup will be clean.

Jiang Yuzhu suddenly realized that Xie Zhao's appetite was not small.

Liang An took the initiative to take away the job of boiling water and said to Jiang Yuzhu politely: "Madam, I haven't eaten so happily for a long time."

Jiang Yuzhu was very surprised: "Then what does your master eat at the Yamen on weekdays?"

Liang'an sighed and said, "There is a cook in the back house of the Yamen who is responsible for setting fires and cooking. Her skills are very average."

The cook had three children at home and went home after dinner.

Xie Zhao was busy with government affairs, and it was common for him to forget to eat when he was hungry and full.

Occasionally, when I miss a meal when I go out, I just eat two dry pancakes to satisfy my hunger.

Jiang Yuzhu: "..."

These details were not mentioned in the book. Jiang Yuzhu knew that Xie Zhao was devoted to the people and only had eyes for the common people and the common people of the world.

She was in awe, she was really a good official who loved the people as much as her son and worked hard!

"Tell Manager Xie from now on that if there are meals that the master likes to eat in the house, leave a portion for him and send them to the Yamen."

Jiang Yuzhu did a good deed by not disturbing Xie Zhao on his errands and providing him with meals.

That night, Jiang Yuzhu discovered something embarrassingly. She was going to sleep in the same carriage as Xie Zhao!

"Madam, go to bed early."

Xie Zhao said after putting the small table and stool together into a bed.

Then, he raised his hand, and his long fingers with clear joints fell on the hosta on his bun. Then he pulled the hosta, and the ink-like black hair slowly scattered, falling on his shoulders and behind his back.
