The county magistrate is trying a murder case. It is said that the man disliked his useless wife and wanted to marry someone else. He secretly killed his wife and threw her body into the wild. Fortunately, he was discovered and reported to the police. By this time, the mother's family had not shown up. .

It seems that in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the mentality of favoring boys over girls was still quite serious.

Treating men as treasures and treating women as nothing but grass, she had to have a good chat with the emperor and try to improve the status of women no matter what.

How to improve it? Oh, the quickest way is to give birth to boys.

If there are fewer women, money will naturally be more expensive.

Thinking of this, Qin Yue smiled mischievously and raised her eyes to look at the county magistrate.

She was upright and upright, but she felt uncomfortable no matter what.

I heard from the people that this county magistrate has been here for several years. Why has it been so long that a prefect cannot solve a county magistrate?
There must be something tricky in it!

She watched the scene before her calmly. The moment the case was concluded, the people cheered.

Shitou also clapped with them happily. Qin Yue looked around and saw that there were people surrounding the yamen gate. There were no pedestrians on this road at all.

It feels a bit like acting, these common people are like extras.

He touched Qin Yue lightly: "Daughter-in-law, you saw it, he tried the case clearly and judged the case wisely. That man deserves to die for killing his wife!"

Qin Yue snorted: "Then did he ask why the murderer killed his wife?"

Shitou was stunned: "That's right. I just listened to it for a while and didn't ask."

"You think it's wise to condemn someone without asking the reason?"

"Did he ask before we came here?"

"Maybe, let's go, find an inn, and rest first. I'll take you to visit his house at night."

"Ah, wife, you are willing to take me there."

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Children, I will make arrangements so that you can see what the county magistrate in your mouth is like."

Shitou frowned: "Isn't he a good official?"

"I'm not sure. I'm not a god. Let's take a look and confirm it."

"it is good!"

At night, Qin Yue and Shi Tou watched the child fall asleep for a while, and she released Xiaotie from the space.

"Look at them. When I come back, you can look back!"

Xiao Tie nodded, Qin Yue gave him a black suit, and she also wore one.

Before Shitou could say anything, he grabbed his arm and jumped out of the window. Shitou was so frightened that he almost screamed.

If he didn't trust his wife, he would be really scared.

With wind in my ears, I took a few breaths and arrived on the roof of a house.

"Open your eyes, it's not like you're flying in the air."

Shitou quickly opened his eyes. It was dark, with only a light on in one yard.

"Is this the magistrate's house?"

"Do you know the county magistrate's last name or his name?"

"do not know."

"I don't know but I still say he's good. This dog official's surname is Jia. He comes from the capital and has a lot of power behind him. That's why he's not afraid of the prefect, and the prefect doesn't dare to touch him easily. Do you understand?"

"How did the lady know?"

"I know martial arts, and my hearing is different from ordinary people. I can control every small movement within ten miles."

"Damn, what else do you bring as a husband?"

"Let you have a long experience, see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears, otherwise you will praise him to no end."

"Daughter-in-law, do you know anything?"

"I don't know, just intuitively, he is not good as you say. If you want to understand, you need to observe and understand."

"I see."

Qin Yue carried him to Piaoliu in the courtyard, and the two of them walked gently to the window and listened to the conversation inside.

"Master, you have been here for many years. It's time to return to the capital."

"The superiors don't allow it, and there's nothing I can do about it."

"What does it mean to ask you to come here to restrain the prefect and gain a good reputation?"

"Stupid, Your Majesty, he likes tightness and hates adultery. The better my reputation is, the greater the chance I will be promoted back home, and my grade will definitely not be lowered."

"For this famous place, our family's wealth is almost empty." "Don't worry, wait for the order to come down, and I can wave it all back before leaving. I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. With your temper, you can't accomplish anything big. Be good. Be careful and just listen to me."

"Oh, I don't want to be in a hurry, but I can't bear to have this empty pocket. It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice."

"It will be almost done once this scientific examination is over, just bear with it."

"All right!"

After a while, someone came to the courtyard, and Qin Yue hid in the corner with the stone.

"If you want to know who he is, you must have evidence. I will send you back later and come back again to find evidence."

"evidence?"

"It's just the correspondence between him and the capital. You'll know just by looking at it."

"it is good"

Shitou knew that if he were here, he would only be a hindrance to his wife, but he finally experienced the feeling of flying.

He didn't dare to open his eyes, not knowing how he flew.

Next time, be sure to open your eyes!
Qin Yue returned to the county magistrate's home and searched in the dark. This person was much smarter than the previous ones.

The important things were actually placed in the crevices of the bed where he slept.

She could sense this with her mental power, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to find it on her own.

As long as you know where things are, nothing else matters.

She had long seen that the county magistrate was a skilled man, so he would be ruthless when he took action.

Without even letting him notice, he fainted.

Throw him under the bed and lift the quilt. There is a movable wooden board. Pluck it out!

She didn't reach out rashly. People like this usually put poison down there.

Sure enough, it was crawling with scorpions, it was so damn disgusting.

After contacting Lan Lan, he put these poisons directly into the space, then put on his gloves and took out the contents.

There are letters, account books, banknotes, and deeds.

Damn it, that girl was crying about poverty just now, and he was comforting her. He had a huge sum of money in his pocket and didn't even bother to take it out.

Qin Yue turned to look at him and asked Lanlan to find a schoolbag for her and put her things in it.

Then I threw this guy on the bed. What he looked like before was what he looked like when he put it back.

She is an expert in this area, and finding out is difficult!

Back at the inn, Shitou was walking back and forth, waiting for her.

"I'm home?"

"Well, it's all here, I didn't have time to see it."

Shitou turned on the lamp Qin Yue gave her: "Where are so many things?"

"Yes, it's heavier than the schoolbags carried by children going to school here."

Shitou glanced at the strange bag and focused on the account books and letters.

He watched carefully, his expressions constantly changing from frowning to angry, angry, embarrassed, and ridiculous.

"Daughter-in-law, I was wrong."

"Don't follow what others say. You must see what you see. Sometimes, what you see may not be right. Alas, people's hearts are unpredictable. There are too many people who can pretend. He is one of them."

"For the sake of reputation and promotion, he pretends to be an upright official on the surface, but secretly he is also amassing money."

"Yes, count these banknotes. How many are there?"

Shitou took a deep breath, counted for a while, and then said awkwardly: "10,000+ taels, it doesn't match what's on the account. It should be part of it that was shipped to the capital."

"We are late. If we were earlier, we could recover that part. However, there is no rush. We will leave early tomorrow morning."

"What about this ledger?"

"Take it with you and give it to Mr. Huang, let him take care of it."

"What about this bank note?"

"Give it to him. This is dirty stuff. If you give him all the money, it won't be short of this."

"Okay, I thought my wife was going to stay."
