It's impossible for Gao to lose his temper when the concubine smiled and calculated to ask for something, but she endured it.

Barefoot people are not afraid of those who wear shoes, she understands this truth too well, rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, she has made the concubine go to this point, and he will not survive for a few days, if people go all out——

It doesn't matter if you die, but the husband is not in the capital at the moment, and it is not clear what happened. There must be nothing wrong with the son and himself. This bastard has to choose a different time to die!

But three melons and two jujubes are just for stuttering, so what do you care about with a dying person?When she sees it clearly... everything can be settled together.

Mrs. Gao is worthy of being the mistress of everyone, her thoughts turn quickly, she can bend and stretch extremely, and people give food with a wave of her hand, food and use, neither too much nor too little.

"You are not in good health, you need to pay attention to recuperation, but you are not allowed to mess around. Your father is on business, and I am afraid that he will not be able to return in two or three months. This time, when he passes by the ancestral house, he may bring your cousin back as a guest. If It doesn’t matter if it’s disturbing at home, so it’s inconvenient for you to recuperate, how can a family like ours lack one or two Zhuangzi outside?”

"But if you feel uncomfortable, just tell me, and I will make arrangements for you."

Gao quickly took Chao Haoguang away, but the words he had said could not be dissipated for a long time.

Chao Muyun understands too well that these words are not being polite, but bowing to him, but a threat, a warning——

You'd better have two brushes. You really have some skills. Let me see if you have the capital to fight against me. Otherwise, it's just a matter of me saying a word, and you don't even need to find a reason.

Chao Muyun didn't stop Gao Shi, nor did he speak provocatively, because it was very boring, so what if he won, it was only half a year.

No wonder Mrs. Gao would poison him like this. It turned out that she was afraid that her husband would not return, and it would be hard to explain why the concubine died like this. She didn't even want to make amends for him with a smile and a few nice words in front of her husband.

Chao Muyun stayed at home for ten days.

There is nothing to do every day except doing nothing.The physical condition has not improved, but after taking the medicine, it is under control, and I will not feel so uncomfortable every day.Gao didn't send anyone to order him around, and he didn't care. He was used to doing this kind of thing by himself when he was in elementary school, and he would find it an eyesore when there were many people in the yard.

It's just... not very happy.

This yard is too remote, and there is a small gate in the north corner on the right. The gates of big families are rarely opened for non-essential events. People usually go in and out through the west corner gate, and the servants go through the east corner gate. The east corner gate will also enter the vehicles that usually buy things. For example, food and goods, and things like Ye Xiang couldn't enter the same door as the vehicle in charge of purchasing, so they naturally went through the only remaining North Corner door.

Therefore, when the sky turns white every day, it is the busiest time for Beijiaomen.

Chao Muyun would often hear the servants chatting, and everyone expressed their trust in Gao's family management methods, thinking that Gao would win this war of concubines, using many previous achievements to list, such as how did the concubine in the backyard die, how did he want to How did the cousin of the head of the family who entered the door be punished, why the eldest son of the concubine died, why the third concubine conceived, why the third son of the concubine lived alone until now, what is the use of it, and how long can he be allowed to live... I don’t know when it will be Will be kicked out and die outside!

After being woken up a few times, not only did Chao Muyun know about Zhu Duo Chao Haoguang's affair, but he even knew a little about his father who hadn't met yet.

He is too used to the filth of human nature, he can even analyze it calmly, without any emotion, but the smell of Ye Xiang...

Really unbearable.

When the state permits, Chao Muyun will try to walk outside, and no one stops him. Gao Shixu wants to take this opportunity to see if he has more skills, does he have connections outside, will he Will not stir up wind and rain.

Chao Muyun is not afraid of the other party's means, and he is not good at protecting himself. He just thinks that this kind of back and forth calculation is meaningless, and besides, his life...is very little left, so it shouldn't be wasted like this.

However, human beings are indeed the most greedy animals in the world, with endless desires and a sense of lack.At any time, any place, there is always something you want very much, whether it is money, or food, or love, or more simply, it is the envy of others. If you are very lucky, fate will give you what you want Things, you will only be satisfied for a while, and then you will have new desires and a sense of lack. You want higher-level things that are unique to you, or spiritual enjoyment, such as a sense of accomplishment...

The reverse is that some things just get boring.

When he is busy, he can't wait to lie down and rest. After resting for a long time, he feels bored and misses the busy days. Chao Muyun doesn't miss the busy days now, but occasionally he is a little bored.

Then he found that there seemed to be a snail girl in his yard.

Sometimes in the afternoon, sometimes at night, there is often a strange noise in the yard. When I go out and look, it is food wrapped in oil paper, sometimes hot cakes, and sometimes cold snacks. The taste is not heavy, and the taste is just right for him.

The other party seemed to be waiting outside the wall to observe. If he didn't come out for a long time, pebbles would be thrown at the window.

It's a pity that the snail girl never showed her face. When she opened the door to find out, she had already disappeared.

In the afternoon of this day, Chao Muyun was still leisurely eating the snacks 'grown' in the yard.

Steamed with glutinous rice flour and flour, it is like a staple food and a dessert. It is very soft and oblate. It looks half the size of a palm, but if you pinch it with your hands, it will become a small ball. Take a bite. It is even more soft and glutinous, and you don’t even need to chew it much. Once you sip the tip of your tongue, the sweet and rice-flavored taste will melt in your mouth. There will be a slight taste of wine between chewing. The taste of rice wine will make you eat more and more. greedy.

Chao Muyun ate very quickly, and finally hesitated for a long time at the only one left in the oil-paper bag.He really wanted to find out this snail girl and ask where she bought it. I really don’t need you to feed it. I just like this, and I can buy it myself.

Suddenly there was a quarrel outside the wall, and the voice was somewhat familiar.

Chao Muyun clapped his hands, went out to see, it turned out that Shi Yaya was arguing with a group of children.

"You guys are talking nonsense! Third Young Master Chao is the best person in the world, so he won't die, he will live a long life!"

"He's going to die right away, and he'll live and die for half a year—the sick man needs a coffin, and when he gets closer, he'll see a bull's head and a horse's face together! Everyone who lives on this street knows that you don't know how to talk less!"

"Who says I don't understand, I just know! He is my brother, my brother is the best, and he will never die!"

The little girl was about to cry out of anger, and refuted to these children with clenched fists.

Chao Muyun doesn't have brothers and sisters, so he doesn't understand all kinds of brother-controlling and sister-controlling emotions, but it doesn't affect the feeling in his heart at this moment, like the grass sprouting in spring, being gently bumped by the warm breeze.

It has nothing to do with emotion, he has the same gender orientation as himself, and is not interested in little girls, but it is difficult for him to let go of such a little rabbit who is obviously timid and dares to clenched his teeth and fists for him.

He also planned to visit this little patient in these two days, but now it's just right.

When the children saw Chao Muyun who pushed the door open, they rushed away. Shi Yaya noticed something, froze, turned around, and there was a blushing face: "I... I'm sorry... I offended you. Young Master, Young Master is not my elder brother..."

In fact, she really wanted to have an older brother who would protect her when she was being bullied like other people's older brothers, but she knew it was impossible and dared not.

Zhao Muyun felt that this was a good time to get closer and build trust, so he stepped forward and flicked her eyebrows lightly with his fingers: "When you don't get sick, you are courageous. Not bad, keep it up."

Shi Yaya covered her forehead in a daze: "Ah?"

Chao Muyun saw the clothes on her body, although they were still plain, but they fit a lot, they were not remade monk robes from Zhaoti Temple: "Have you gone to Dali Temple?"

Shi Yaya pursed her lips: "Master... are you going?"

Chao Muyun didn't speak.

"Does the young master despise me? I really understand the rules. I was just anxious just now, and I didn't have any intention of overstepping. I am willing to sign a contract for the maid and take care of the young master's daily life—"

Shiyaya was very anxious, seeing that Chao Muyun didn't express his opinion, and even boldly grabbed his clothes corner: "My cooking is really delicious, and I will never cause trouble to you, so you should accept it." Master Gong..."

After thinking about it for the past few days, Chao Muyun has actually loosened up.

He is really good at this job, if not for the rest of his life, he would agree without even thinking about it, now...

"You threw the things in the yard?"

Shi Yaya shrank his hands: "Master, Master, do you know? I, I just threw it twice, it wasn't on purpose..."

Chao Muyun frowned: "Twice?"

Shi Yaya nodded vigorously: "I know that young master is a good person. He has been taken care of by young master, and he always pays back one or two things, but the past is over, young master may not want to associate with someone like me, and he is worried that young master will be pressured by my affairs. I can't even get close, so..."

She didn't dare to do more, and only threw away the food she made herself twice. Today is the last time to take a look, and decides not to bother more in the future.

Chao Muyun showed her the leftover half of the pastries: "You gave this?"

"No," Shi Yaya looked at it and shook his head, "But if you like it, I will do it."

Chao Muyun: "Alright, let's go to Dali Temple."

"If there are other preferences, I can also learn..."

Shiyaya was thinking hard about how to behave, when suddenly he was startled: "My lord...agreed?"

Chao Muyun: "You go back first, I'll go after I pack my things."

In fact, there is nothing to pack. After tidying himself up, he can take his companions with him, and he can set off.He didn't say hello to Gao Shi, and Gao Shi probably didn't need it, but as long as he thought that he wouldn't be woken up by the smell of night incense every morning, he was a little happy.

When we arrived at Dali Temple, Gong Zhi was not there.

The promotion was very fast this time, Gong Zhi had already packed up and went to Jiangnan to take up his post, and only left a letter for Chao Muyun, as if he was sure that he would come.

The letter summed up the follow-up of the Zhaoti Temple case. The arrest and search for Liu Niangniang did not make good progress. These people directly gave up a warehouse base, pulled all the inventory there, and disappeared after being sold out within two days. The person disappeared, and the building was empty when the people from the government touched it. It is difficult to find clues. If the other party does not show up again, it will become more difficult to catch and track. If it is useful in the future, it can be used to collect evidence...

Gong Zhi said in the letter that there is no need to worry, all crimes will eventually surface.

Because the procedures had been ordered in advance, Chao Muyun quickly took his clothes and allocated his own small courtyard beside the Dali Temple. It is lively, quiet and livable, without being ostentatious, and everything inside has been prepared, so he can live directly.

Shi Yaya lives next to him, separated from his yard by a wall, and the two share a gate. The only bad thing is that the gate is a bit old, and they may need a porter.

Of course, the master has official uniforms, blue official uniforms, black gauze hat wings, and jade belts around the waist, but the same official uniforms have very different effects on different people.

When Shi Yaya saw the young master who had changed his clothes, he wowed: "Young master looks good! Much prettier than that Li Huai!"

Chao Muyun: "Li Huai?"

"He's also a bookkeeper, with a fat face and a round belly, and he's a nuisance, and when he looks at people, his eyes are like this—"

Picking up the corners of her eyes with both hands, she stretched them up, looking ugly and scary.

Chao Muyun smiled, not bad, the little girl became more and more relaxed in front of him.

For psychological healing, a good sense of companionship is very important. When you give the other party a sense of security, you don’t even need special guidance. The other party will build up enough courage to face the shadow in your heart. The first time I saw the little girl, I knew that she was a tough and brave little girl. She was always following her intuition to find a way to save herself, and she would surely succeed.

Soon, Chao Muyun saw what Shi Yaya said, his competitor, Li Huai.

Or, for the other party, he is the sudden airborne and increased competitor, so the other party is in a bad mood and has no good intentions, Chao Muyun can probably understand.

"Hey, isn't Master Gong personally recommending this, and specially ordering him to take care of him? It's been a few years since he met an extremely rare prisoner talent? Chao Muyun, right? Why does he look so weak? It's not me, our place is different from other places, If you are exhausted, how can you deal with complicated official duties? I advise you to take a look at Mr. Chao, and if you retreat in the face of difficulties, you can save some face."

Li Huai is indeed a little fat, with a pair of slanting eyes, which are full of hostility.

Chao Muyun has never been afraid of provocations, and he has never been a calm tempered person. His eyes are dark and cold, and when he just stands quietly, there is an invisible aura of oppression: "Oh, I heard that people here are selected for their talents, and those who have merit are promoted very quickly." quick."

His eyes are very light, his words are straight, and he doesn't seem to have any provocative intentions, but his gaze moves from head to toe and slowly looks at other people's eyes, making it impossible to ignore, even like a declaration.

It’s like saying, yes, I’m your competitor, I’m here to grab your position, you haven’t been able to manage it for so many years, and this time it still can’t, although I’m not in good health, but my mind is good, this opportunity , I accepted it with a smile.

It's crazy!

Li Huai was about to be laughed out of anger: "I really thought you were better than me—"

"Yes." Chao Muyun directly intercepted the other party's words.

"you--"

Li Huai's anger was about to come out of his mouth, but finally suppressed it, and sneered: "I don't know where Master Gong found a living treasure, but let me tell you, the director of Dali Temple is not just a pen , It can be done by recording a booklet. The government office is now short of manpower. Mr. Qing is old and doesn't have the energy to take care of too many things. The young minister has been transferred. There is no new transfer of Shangguan. Shangfeng currently only has one temple official, busy I can't find anyone, you and I need to temporarily take over more official duties, the severity of the sentence, the compliance of the conviction, and all the retrial cases, you and I and the temple have to deploy all the signatures to take effect--"

"All of these things can't be done by one person alone. The case is about human life. How to handle the case, how to prioritize, handle it in an orderly manner, not to mention, just how to manage it, assign tasks to the officials to help, ensure Completing the case review work is not something that can be covered by "talented"!"

"Adults are high above, how can they understand the suffering of the people below? Let me tell you, don't do that in front of me! If you know something, you can just stay there and not be a demon, and you'll be fine. If you dare to spoil my business, you will be restrained back and forth. Make the case difficult to solve, don't blame me for not holding back, Master Gong will lose face!"

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and pointed to a table next to it that was full of files, which he couldn't even put his hand into: "Isn't it possible? Well, here are the cases that have been accumulated for two or three months and have yet to be reviewed. Have you gone through the master book again?"

This master seems to know the essence of quarrels. After a long output, he turned around and left without waiting for others to fight back. He was gone anyway. No matter what others said, he didn't lose!

With Chao Muyun's physical strength, it is indeed difficult to catch up and quarrel with others.

"The government office is so busy, it's inevitable that I feel irritable, and it's not aimed at anyone," an official came to rescue, and led Chao Muyun to the direction of the case, "Don't worry about the secretary, please—"

"You are--"

"My subordinate, Lu Dong, is waiting for the orders of the two master masters."

He bowed his head towards Muyun, and sat in front of the desk with his robe pulled back.

Others are not important, these are the key points on the table, he has encountered similar situations more than once, and he will always have the ability to make people shut up, this time, it will be the same.

Seeing that this master is not someone who wants to be strong, the officials let out a long breath. With so many things at hand, there is really no time to persuade them to fight!

Lu Dong quickly served tea and went down to get busy.

The master book of Dali Temple, from seven grades, palm prints, all officials who are punished or exempted from crimes, are registered.

Here, minor crimes that are not serious crimes of murder and treason can be redeemed, such as some petty theft, intentionally destroying other people's property, intentionally injuring others, but the circumstances are not serious, they will be sentenced to prison or servitude, Prison punishment, as the name implies, is imprisonment. The punishment depends on what construction the government is currently doing, and what is lacking. Prisoners are not suitable for these punishments because their physical strength is not as good as that of men, and they are often punished to pound rice.

Generally, prison sentences and service sentences can be offset and reduced. According to different degrees, different price ranges are drawn. Redemption with gold, silver and copper is also beneficial to major achievements. The merits can be offset and partly reduced.

In addition to other tasks such as Si Cheng, there are more things to watch, such as reviewing cases sent by other departments.

Chao Muyun flipped through the files on the table. He didn't read quickly. After the whole morning, he hadn't seen half of the files in a month. Most of the confessions were detailed and the evidence was conclusive. This newly opened case is a little strange...suicide?

"...It's a rare thing today, people are thinking about suicide more and more..."

"Isn't it? I'm used to hanging myself and taking poison, or jumping off a cliff and throwing myself into the water. At most, I'm fully dressed. This time I even prepared for my own funeral..."

"Don't tell me, that little white boat is pretty..."

The official who went out to perform tasks early in the morning came back to take a break from work, casually chatting about what he had seen and heard today, his eyebrows beaming.

Chao Muyun paused, and looked over with dark eyes: "Someone committed suicide? Have you prepared a funeral for yourself, a water burial in a white boat?"

Zao Li looked at the official uniform and saw that it was the new Master Registrar, so he quickly saluted: "Yes, today someone was fishing at the mouth of the river and saw a boat floating with the waves in the distance. The old man was lying on the boat without making a sound, his lips and nails were bruised, his hands rested on his lower abdomen, and he died peacefully. The author had seen it, and the time of death was about last night. The cause of death was poisoning. It is reasonable to speculate that the deceased should be lying Get into the boat you prepared, take poison and wait to die..."

Chao Muyun lowered his eyes and looked at the file in his hand. The death description was almost the same, but the result was also concluded as suicide.

"This is homicide."

If he had doubts when he saw the file just now, now he has confirmed that there must be a murderer in these two cases.

"Where is the corpse now, can the government handle it?"

"For example, now..." Zao Li was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Because it is far away in the middle of the river, it is not easy to salvage, so we have to bring the boat back first. The person who found the boat reported it to the official, and now the people from Jing Zhaoyin are here. Over there, our people went to lend a hand because of the business process, and now there are a lot of people watching..."

Chao Muyun frowned: "There are a lot of people?"

"Yes...it coincides with the Qingming Festival, and the weather is so rare today that the people come out one after another to enjoy the spring. The city is not as lively as the outside, so..."

"Where is the body outside the city?"

"West of Tianjing Lane, by the moat."

Chao Muyun got up: "I'll go out for a while."

This is what I want to do, it goes without saying.

Zao Li didn't dare to let the lord go alone, he immediately turned around and followed: "Your subordinates will go with you!"

Not long after, Chao Muyun saw the corpse.
