The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei
Chapter 69 Aftermath
Xie Shuting arranged Zhao Zhenzhi's affairs and led Lian Xi out of the government office. After days of using her brain, Xie Shuting fell asleep leaning against the carriage.
"Miss! We're here." Lian Xi reminded softly.
Xie Shuting slowly opened her eyes, lifted a corner of the car curtain and took a look, saying, "In just one day, this house has changed a lot."
"That's right. Brother Song is quite efficient." Lian Xi agreed.
While the master and servant were chatting and laughing, Song Zhen, who was in the distance, had already seen Xie Shuting's carriage. He hurriedly said a few words and came over to greet them.
"Hello, young lady." Song Zhen bowed his head.
"Yeah!~"
Xie Shuting responded and lowered the car curtain. After all, they were still outside, so she naturally had to consider the separation between men and women.
"Hello, Miss Lian Xi." Song Zhen bowed again.
"Brother Song, there's no need to be so polite." Lian Xi replied hastily, and bowed slightly shyly as a return gesture.
"Captain Song! It will take you a few more days to renovate this house according to the blueprint." Xie Shuting asked softly through the car curtain.
Song Zhen raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He didn't dare to speculate any more and leaned over and said hurriedly, "Reporting to the young lady! According to the young lady's drawings, the repairs can be completed in seven days at most."
"Seven days..." Xie Shuting murmured to herself.
Song Zhen was a man who traveled the world, and his ability to read people's expressions was no less than that of the owner of the Lian family business. When he heard Xie Shuting's tone, he knew that the owner had other plans.
Immediately! He changed the subject and said, "If I can find another 40 or 50 people, I think it can be completed in three days."
Xie Shuting nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, and then instructed: "Go to the city to find the merchants who entered the government office for the Yuan Guanju that day, and ask them to send three people each. I think they are willing to do so."
"But..." Song Zhen seemed to be unable to speak.
Xie Shuting certainly understood the other party's concerns, and then looked at Lian Xi and said, "Xi'er! Go back to the yamen and find Captain Cao and ask him to pass on the message."
"Yes, Miss." Lian Xi leaned over and responded.
"Captain Song! Once all the people have arrived, you must arrange everything. The work must be completed within three days. You must take the people from the escort agency to escort Young Master Zhao and Young Master Yan from the government office back to Bianjing, and then return."
"Yes! I understand." Song Zhen responded quickly.
They never had any doubts about Xie Shuting's arrangements, or in other words, they never had any doubts about the decisions made by the head of the Lian family.
If it weren't for the decision of the head of the Lian family, how could the Lian family business have developed to its current scale? The decision of the head of the family was not something that people like them could influence.
Xie Shuting gave a few more instructions, then ordered, "Xi'er! Go back home."
"Yes!" Lian Xi responded, and then drove the carriage slowly towards the county government office.
In just one stick of incense, the carriage returned to the back hall. Lian Qiao, who was standing at the door, looked at the carriage, a hint of joy suddenly appeared in her eyes, and she hurried to greet it.
"Miss! Are you back?" Lian Qiao bowed.
Xie Shuting was led down the carriage by Lian Xi. Looking at Lian Qiao who looked anxious, she asked in confusion, "What happened?"
Lian Qiao did not respond, but looked around and muttered softly: "Miss! The young master is still locked in the study by the master, and now the two of them have no lunch."
"Still there?" Xie Shuting couldn't help but frowned.
This morning, after their family paid homage to their mother Jiang Yao, Xie Shuting took Lian Xi to the government office. Now that they have returned, the two have not come out yet, which makes her a little puzzled.
"Is the meal ready?" Xie Shuting asked softly.
"I have prepared it early in the morning. I will go get it for the young lady right away." Lian Qiao said as she quickly ran to the kitchen.
Seeing her carefree personality, Xie Shuting couldn't help but shook her head, and then looked at Lian Xi and said, "Xi'er! Go find the Poet Fairy. I have something to ask her?"
"Yes!~"
Lian Xi responded and followed Xie Shuting back to the backyard. He first took off his crimson clothes and changed into a light-colored plain dress.
After waiting in the corridor for a while, he led Lian Qiao to the study in the front yard. As soon as they walked outside the study, they heard the quarrel between father and son in the room.
Lian Qiao tactfully handed the food box to Xie Shuting, bowed and quickly retreated.
After all, these are secrets between masters and they, as servants, dare not have the slightest thought of overstepping their boundaries.
Xie Shuting stood there for a moment, and then she heard Xie Ningzhi in the room say with a hint of grief and indignation, "Father! If you submit this memorial, your official career will surely be bumpy. You need to be more cautious."
"cautious!"
Xie Tingwen snorted coldly and said in a righteous tone: "Father has kept many things secret, even the Liu Qingzhi case has not been violated in the slightest. Isn't this enough?"
"Father! What my sister said makes sense. If you are dragged into the fight for Dabao, the Xie family will be doomed. I'm here to ask you to pick up the pen again." Xie Ningzhi pleaded.
"Can......."
Xie Tingwen sighed helplessly, and said with a hint of fatigue in his voice: "But your father has already made the biggest concession. If the official career is really smooth, then the people will suffer. Besides, if the memorial is not written clearly, the Ministry of Justice will not make a judgment at all."
"meeting."
As Xie Shuting spoke, she pushed open the half-closed door, placed the food box on the table, bowed and said, "My daughter greets my father and brother."
"You're back. How did things go?" Xie Tingwen asked hurriedly.
Xie Shuting smiled and took out the dishes from the lunch box one by one. She said softly, "Mr. Zhao has promised to cover up for father. I just heard Lian Qiao say that father and brother haven't eaten yet. Aren't they hungry?"
As soon as Xie Shuting finished speaking, she heard Xie Ningzhi's stomach make an untimely rumble, which instantly made Xie Shuting cover her mouth and laugh.
Xie Ningzhi scratched his head in confusion, glanced at the dishes on the table, and quickly changed the subject: "Father! Let's eat first, we can talk about this later."
"You just eat every day, and you don't even notice how busy Shu Ting is every day, and you don't even help her with her hands."
Xie Ningzhi pretended to be slightly angry, but still couldn't resist the hunger in his body. He didn't resist Xie Ningzhi's pull and sat down on the table.
"Father and brother, please have your meal first. I will keep this memorial to you in secret. Maybe it will improve things a little bit."
"Okay. My little sister is quick-witted and must have a better way." Xie Ningzhi agreed with a smile.
Xie Tingwen said no more and ate his late lunch. Xie Shuting sat at the desk, read the memorial, and then ground ink and moistened her pen.
He picked up a pen and wrote, "I am Xie Tingwen, the magistrate of Laigu County. I am submitting this to the officials of the Ministry of Justice. Today, our county has uncovered a tragic case of the Zhang family being massacred... It was committed by our county lieutenant Liu Qing and the Ten Murderers of Mount Mangdang. The case involves a large area, but the Ten Murderers of Mount Mangdang have already been executed, and Lieutenant Liu Qing was brought to the capital by the Ministry of Punishment to be investigated as an important case... Now the clues are cut off, but there is solid evidence that Zhang Yuan and Han Qi committed murder. According to the Great Song Law, I will sentence them to death in court. I now present the testimony and the autopsy record, and I ask you to make your decision. Xie Tingwen bows."
Xie Shuting's thoughts were still immersed in the memorials at the moment. She completely ignored Xie Tingwen and Xie Ningzhi beside her, both of whom had suspicious looks on their faces.
