Great Lawyer

Chapter 350 The Foreman Missing ([-])

"The president is here." Someone shouted.

After the sound inside fell silent, Du Jiuyan stepped into the door, glanced over and saw Zhou Yan who was carrying food in the crowd but was splashed with soup.

His eyes were red, and his whole body was trembling slightly, obviously very angry.

"Father!" Little Carrot ran over, Du Jiuyan patted his head, looked at the crowd, "What are you doing, you've been given too much food?"

As she spoke, she pointed at the cook, "Starting tomorrow, each person will lose half a spoonful of food."

"Yes!" The cook replied.

Everyone wailed in their hearts, but no one dared to object.

Du Jiuyan, you see her laughing and laughing all day long, fighting and playing with you like a close friend, so you don't take it seriously at all, thinking that she is easy to talk, then you are wrong.

Where she is good at talking is in life.

In major matters, she is serious and serious.

"Let's go, let's eat." Du Jiuyan glanced at Zhou Yan, ignoring him.

Because he hasn't made a mistake yet, there is no reason for him to leave for the time being.Before that, she didn't even want to see him.

"President," Zhou Yan looked at Du Jiuyan, as if he was about to collapse, "Does this have nothing to do with you? Do you not care?"

Du Jiuyan stopped and looked at him, "We're all grown-ups, fight if you don't agree!"

Said, waved his hand and walked out.

When she heard a bang behind her, she thought it was a fight, so she couldn't help but turn her head to look, but who knew that Zhou Yan just dropped the dinner plate in his hand to the ground, and the man stepped over the dinner plate and rushed out.

Du Jiuyan pouted.

Laughter came from behind, and everyone came out laughing and sending Du Jiuyan home.

Zhou Yan lost his mind and went to the street, and when he came back to his senses, he heard a female voice calling him with a coquettish smile.

When he looked up, he found that he was at the entrance of the red building, on the corridor on the second floor, several girls in thin clothes were smiling at him.

"This little brother is so handsome," said the girl upstairs, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Come on, my sisters will help you eat meat, no money!"

All the girls laughed.

Zhou Yan was stunned, his face was flushed, he turned around and left, but as soon as he turned around, someone grabbed his hand, and a young girl looked at him with wide eyes, "Brother, come in and sit for a while."

As he spoke, he pulled Zhou Yan into the door.

"Father, are we really going out with foster father?" Little Luobo asked.

Du Jiuyan nodded, "The river has risen quite a bit, let's go and see what great achievements your Uncle Yinshou has made in water control."

"Okay, okay." Little Luobo nodded and said with a smile: "Then I'll bring some delicious food for Uncle Silver Hand. There must be no snacks he likes over there."

The father and son strolled along the street, Xiaoluobu bought a lot of snacks, and even bought a lot for King Gui.

Du Jiuyan carried something for him, "Did your bank notes go to the bank?"

"Yeah, it's not safe to carry it with you." Little Luobo said, "I saved it in a bank when I went to find you."

Du Jiuyan gave him a blank look and didn't want to talk to him.

On the second day, Du Jiuyan took his family out, Chen Lang locked the door behind him, and when the group left the alley, they saw more than a dozen people standing on the street outside, except for the few people around King Gui, Jiao San, the lame man and the others. Frog and several people are actually there.

Even, Du Jiuyan saw Si Da father and son riding with a cart.

"What do you mean?" Du Jiuyan looked at King Gui.

King Gui got off his horse, and enthusiastically carried the burden for her and hugged his son, "It's okay, it's so lively."

Saying that, he stuffed his son and the burden into the carriage.

"The car in the back can sit." King Gui asked Chen Lang and Hua Zi Nao'er to sit in the back, while Chen Lang looked at Du Jiuyan, and she had to nod.

"I don't know what's wrong," Du Jiuyan saw that the lame man was here, and probably guessed that King Gui's trip was related to the case.

As a fake county magistrate and real prince, she is still happy and should support him with such awareness and enthusiasm.

Who made her care about the world, she is a great lawyer.

Du Jiuyan got into the car, opened the curtain and stared at King Gui, "You pay for all the expenses of this trip!"

"Out of the Yamen." King Gui said.

Du Jiuyan let go of the curtain, King Gui got on his horse, and a group of people left the city gate and headed for Xiahe Town.

Xiahe Town is very close, and it took less than an hour to enter the town.

"Ninth Brother!" Silver Hand came running in like a bird, "I thought you wouldn't come here...Little Carrot, oh, I miss you so much."

The little radish rushed over to be held by Yinshou, and the two whispered.

"Little radish is kind to me, knowing that I have nothing to eat here, and knowing to bring me something to eat when I come here." Yinshou kissed the little radish, then turned to look at the family, "All out, Is it all because you miss me?"

"It's only been a few days since you left," Du Jiuyan said, "Where do you live?"

Silver hand said: "I live in a shed by the river dam, it's a little way from here, I'll take you there after you rest."

"Okay!" Du Jiuyan nodded.

"Is it the end?" Chen Lang asked, "How much money did you spend?"

"I'm not in charge of the money. Oh, by the way, are you here because of the disappearance of the river worker?" Yinshou asked.

Du Jiuyan was stunned, "What river worker?"

"A river worker is missing," Yinshou said, "it's not a river worker, but a foreman. He brought twenty craftsmen to work for us, and we paid him."

These craftsmen need to collect money for their work, and the others are the people who have corvee nearby.

"Just a few days ago, we were about to wrap up, and then that foreman Li disappeared." Yin Shou said: "He settled his wages with Tian Caoguan the first night, and disappeared the next morning."

Cao Guan is a small official who came down with Yinliang from the Ministry of Industry. Although he is a miscellaneous person, he has real power and is directly under the Ministry of Industry.

The main responsibility is to supervise and manage the bank, and regularly report the progress of the river construction to the imperial court and the Ministry of Industry to ensure that the money is used for real purposes.

"Absconded with money?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Yinshou shook his head, "I'm not sure. I saw that his people were looking for him, and even went to his home. His family didn't know either."

"However, some people said that it might have been raining that night, and he slipped into the water and drowned. Because the craftsmen who followed him have followed him for many years, and he never defaulted on everyone's wages in the past, and this time it was only a month. After paying 200 taels of silver, he is not short of this money at all."

"It sounds a bit strange," Du Jiuyan said, "So, someone here has reported to the government?"

Silver hand shook his head, he didn't know either.

"Brother Yinshou, why don't you know anything?" Huazi handed him the tea, tapped his head with her silver hand, and said, "I was invited from outside, and I'm not from the government. They talk about court affairs. I don’t even take mine, and I’m not happy to hear it.”

"I just take care of the construction, tell them my ideas, and urge those craftsmen to strictly implement my ideas and drawings in place."

The words were smooth, and Du Jiuyan felt that he must be like an elder at this moment, with a loving smile on his face.

"Jiuyan," Jiao San knocked on the door and came in. Seeing that the silver hand was there, he said, "Just in time, do you know the missing Foreman Li?"

Silver hand said: "We have been together every day for the past few months. I think it's very good if you ask how he is. He travels around all year round and has seen all kinds of scenes. He should not be holding hundreds of taels of silver. got away."

"En." Jiao San nodded, they also suspected that there was a ghost in it, so even King Gui went out to investigate it himself.

When it comes to the river course and the funds allocated by the Ministry of Industry, there is no omission, not to mention, this river dam has invested more than 30 taels of silver.

"Wang Ye went in person?" Du Jiuyan asked.

"Not yet, the lord is meeting Mr. Tian. Mr. Tian is the miscellaneous officer sent by the Ministry of Industry." Jiao San said.

Du Jiuyan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Jiuyan," King Gui also came in. Seeing that everyone was there, he laughed awkwardly, and whispered to Du Jiuyan, "Come here, I have something to tell you."

Du Jiuyan came out with him and talked in the next room.

"This time, I came mainly to see the scenery, and secondly to find someone." King Gui said, "Although you are a litigator, I only trust you when handling the case."

"The disappearance of Foreman Li, I think it's a big problem, so if you want to see people, you need to see dead bodies." King Gui said.

Du Jiuyan frowned.

"I'll give you wages in the name of the yamen, ten taels a day, how about it?" King Gui said.

"The price has increased, it's not bad." Du Jiuyan didn't want to get involved, but King Gui said he needed her help, and she couldn't justify not helping, "For your sincerity and my wages, I can help you."

"However, I'm not good at finding people. Don't put all your hopes on me. I'm an outsider, so I don't want to take on such a big responsibility." Du Jiuyan said.

King Gui understood, nodded and said, "I'm still there, I'll look for it with you."

We had lunch and went to the river together in the afternoon.

The river water in Shaoyang flows from Shanghe Town to Xiahe Town, and the waterway here suddenly narrows a lot when it reaches Xiahe Town. Therefore, Xiahe Town is the first to run out of water when it is dry, and it is also the first place to flood when it is flooded. .

One year the river overflowed and swallowed the whole town.

Silverhand's shed was less than a mile upstream where the river narrowed.

It was a temporary shed built with straw and mud, and bedding was spread inside, but it was all wet and the conditions were very difficult.

"This is too bad," Du Jiuyan said distressedly, "Why didn't I ask for a better place for you?"

Yin Shou said: "I asked to live here." He was very excited, pointing to the dam built in the middle of the road. This dam crosses to the opposite side. It is now the flood season, so the water level is very high, and only faint rocks can be seen from the dam , the upstream water flows down like a waterfall.

After the flood season, this dam is a road that can be used by people and vehicles.

"This is my idea," Yinshou and Du Jiuyan said, "Brother Jiu, am I good?"

Du Jiuyan nodded sincerely, "Very powerful."

Silver Hand laughed.

"Where did you learn the method of rolling the dam?" Du Jiuyan asked.

　Thank you for your monthly pass, fried chicken is awesome!Love you guys.

　　After voting, remember to get the red envelope.

　　Today, I traveled around the countryside for a day and experienced the excitement of the holiday, hahahahaha.

　　On the way back, I saw the chicken head rice that I ate when I was a child. I don’t know if you have eaten it. Then I was shocked when I asked the price. This kind of food that no one ate when I was a child now costs 20 yuan a piece. I was so scared. The tight wallet trembled.
