Lay to win!Cannon fodder, he has become the chief assistant

Chapter 229 Shocking
Xie Rongzhao was also very confused. This was the first time in her two lives that she had to deal with such a matter personally.

In the Fang family in her previous life, she had often seen the masters of the Fang family deal with their servants, and some of them even beat them to death with sticks.

Since Xie Rongzhao's rebirth, the biggest knot in his heart was with the Fang family, and after that, his father's future was blocked and his fiancé was killed.

After the first two things were changed by her, the hostility in her body has weakened a lot, and the leisurely and comfortable life in the past few years has also kept the nightmare of her previous life away from her for a long time.

After this incident, she realized that even if her father is now an official, she can't be careless, and even has to be more cautious than before.

Liu Ruolan's poisoning was not deep this time, and it was not difficult to get rid of the residual poison. She would be fine after taking a few doses of medicine.

As for that evil servant who poisoned her, Liu Ruolan didn't know how to deal with it.

This is the first time since she became an official wife, she has been in charge in a real sense. After all, she has never encountered such a wicked servant betraying her master before.

Fortunately, there is Gu Shi by his side.

"Ma'am, this evil servant must have been bought, and she didn't dare to plead guilty, because she was afraid that we would try to interrogate the master behind her. She has family members, so she has weaknesses. Her family members are not our servants, no She is under our control, so in order to protect her family, she will not say a word even if she dies."

Liu Ruolan was a little frustrated for a moment: "So, even if we take her to the government, it will not help?"

Knowing Madam's mood at this time, Gu Shi nodded sensibly.

"She didn't sign a death contract with our house. All we can do is drive her out of the house, or escort her directly to the yamen. However, in my opinion, even if she enters the yamen, at most It’s just a few complaints of grievances, and if you end up committing suicide in the yamen and then being used by someone with a heart, it will actually be detrimental to our family’s reputation.”

Liu Ruolan was a little distracted for a while, and more of it was an anger that had nowhere to vent.

"Is that so?"

Gu comforted: "Madam, don't be angry, of course it is impossible to let it go like this! It is true that she poisoned the master, even if she denies it, it is true that the poison was found in her house, and there are people who testify against her, we You can reward her with twenty boards, and then kick her out of the house, and it is best to let outsiders know that she betrayed the master first, so that if someone mentions it in the future, it will save the master from bothering."

The two maids who had been interrogated by Xie Rongzhao before were also called over for questioning.

The He family was originally the wife of a sixth-rank official family, but because of her husband's troubles, she was sent to the frontier for several years. Now that she has returned to the capital, things have changed.

"Since you were once an official family member, and you were sent by Prince Zhao, you must be of decent character. You should work as an errand in Miss's yard in the future."

Mrs. He hurriedly kowtowed to express her gratitude, not forgetting to show her loyalty.

There is also a Mrs. Yu. Her husband's family was originally surnamed Wang, but all of her husband's family were cut off. Mrs. Yu was originally the main wife of the Wang family. Later, a man spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and divorced Mrs. Yu one month before he was convicted.

Even so, the Yu family was still implicated by the Wang family, coupled with some people's interference, the Yu family was forced to be sent to the frontier by the officials to stay for a few years before he was able to turn around.

But what if we come back?

Yu Shi only gave birth to two daughters, which is also the main reason why she is not welcomed by her husband's family.

Now the two daughters are married, but they both despise her as a criminal, so no one wants to associate with her. In grief and indignation, Yu wanted to throw himself into the river, but fortunately, he was rescued by Zhao Yue's men.

Liu Ruolan felt sorry for her background, and in fact Yu's family background was not bad, and she was well-educated since she was a child, so she simply let her stay in her yard to work. If she doesn't make mistakes in the future, it would be good to be promoted to be a manager .

Xie Rongzhao wrote down all the family affairs in the letter, and also wrote down all his doubts. At this juncture, if he wanted to do something to his mother, it must be because someone wanted to make his father feel uneasy. Do a good job outside.

Xie Rongzhao mentioned in the letter that he had already decided to take his mother to live in Zhuangzi after the poison was cured, hoping to stay away from the right and wrong of the capital.

After this incident, Xie Rongzhao basically sent a letter to Xiangzhou Prefecture every three days. She didn't mind the trouble and was not afraid of spending money. Anyway, there were people at home now. If it was difficult to send letters to the caravan, she I simply sent the servant at home. Anyway, I must reassure my father first to prevent him from making any mistakes again.

Xie Xiuwen was far away in Xiangzhou Prefecture, and the more he investigated the case, the more frightened he became.

Unknowingly, nearly forty local officials have been involved in this case!

Is this a case that Zuo Cheng, a fourth-rank minister, can handle?

Xie Xiuwen knew that everyone around him was being stared at, so he had to turn to Feng Shu for help.

Feng Shu brought a hundred people to help him this time. It sounds like a lot of people, but compared with the local snakes here, it is simply not enough.

And even if Xie Xiuwen got the right to do things cheaply, it doesn't mean that he can do whatever he wants, at least, on the premise that his life is not endangered, he still can't move the governor's mansion.

Even if he could mobilize, he would not dare to act rashly without knowing whether the opponent was an enemy or a friend.

Xie Xiuwen did not dare to take it lightly. He had many people around him, only a few in total. Once the governor and others discovered that he had made some moves, he was afraid that the other party would jump over the wall.

Therefore, Xie Xiuwen took the opportunity to frequently communicate with his family and even send some things over, so he prepared some famous local specialties for Xie Rongzhao to take back to the capital.

As soon as Xie Xiuwen left the merchant ship, someone came over to interrogate him with a strange look on his back.

The caravan saw that it was the official, so naturally they didn't dare to fight against it, and obediently unpacked all the goods for the official to inspect.

"What is this?"

That small box was the specialty that Xie Xiuwen entrusted the caravan to deliver to the capital. Since it was not their goods and was entrusted by the official, the merchant hurriedly explained.

However, the official didn't listen to this at all.

"Open the box!"

The officer opened the box and checked it one by one. After making sure that there was nothing suspicious, he snorted and got out of the boat.

"My lord, I have already sent people to find out. Then Xie Xiuwen sent some special products from our Xiangzhou Prefecture to the capital. It is said that they are for his wife and daughter. Our people even checked the wooden boxes one by one. Nothing wrong."

The governor is still not at ease: "He is the fourth grade, why don't you send the things to the post station for transshipment?"

"My lord, the younger one has asked about it. The former son Xie Xiuwen just sent a bunch of earthenware to the Weixinhou Mansion, and the post station does not deliver supplies to the capital every day, so he asked the caravan for help."
