Zhuang Rou doesn’t care what Zhu Fenggong thinks. If he wants to die, he will die. He has nothing to sympathize with for the extremely stupid person.

He called the doctor and asked him to treat the people from Jinbao Gambling House casually. As long as he didn't die in prison, he would be fine, and then he was locked up. If he didn't pay the tax, she wouldn't mind that all the merchants in the county would be arrested here and locked up.

After completing these things, Zhuang Rou and Niu Dayong walked out and found that the lobby seemed a little noisy. Could it be that the Chen family sent someone over again?

She walked over and saw that there were more than a dozen people in the court, and more people were coming in. The master was not here, so the clerk had already been a teacher. Wu Renyao, who had been studying in medicine, was called to the table to keep accounts.

Everyone honestly and proactively reported the money they had paid before. Anyway, they remembered it and couldn't escape even if they wanted to. But most people still asked carefully whether it would be enough to pay 80% of them, after all, it would be a little less.

Although Wu Renyao knew how to write, he never did this job. He was ugly and didn't even want to be a clerk. He was busy keeping the account, and Ma Dezheng and Niu Dayong were also busy checking cashiers.

Zhu Fenggong had a calm expression, but was very surprised. These people were really coming to pay taxes and came on their own initiative!

As long as there is no more trouble, he will be considered stable in his official position. However, he still has to wait for the little prince to see what the Chen family has to do. Who has the ability to do better? He has not been cheated in the officialdom for several years, which makes his mind a little difficult to turn around. But he has not forgotten how to become an official, and it will take a few days to get used to it.

Everyone in Douhu County knew that the Chen family’s Jinbao Gambling House was smashed and arrested if they did not pay taxes, while the Tianxiafang, which was unknown backstage, was the first person to pay taxes.

Even Tianxiafang has lowered his head, how could other people hold on? Look at what the Chen family has been smashed into. They are the uncle of the country, the Minister of War! No matter how powerful you are, can you still be stronger than this?

Anyway, you have to pay money, so it’s better to take the initiative and appear sincere. Don’t ask the little prince to please him, at least don’t let him remember it.

Seeing that they came earlier than they expected, Zhuang Rou finally felt more relaxed and comfortable, and now she could investigate the case well.

The tax payment lasted for three days before everyone's fixed tax was collected enough. The rest had to be taken back from the Chen Family Martial Arts Hall.

The young prince did not come to the county yamen when he was recovering from his injuries, but when he heard that the people came to pay taxes on their own initiative, he immediately sent his master to the charge. Not to mention anything else, he had to take the money in his own hands, including repairing the yamen, but he was worried about doing it for these poor people.

In three days, the county government received a total of nearly 80,000 taels of taxes. It is conceivable how much money the Chen family was greedy at that time. With these money, the master began to make the entire county government really move.

The clerks were recruited again, and there were also a large number of mailmen. Each of them could take four mailmen under their name, and they would usually do things like arresting the peddlers. The original prisoner could no longer do it, so he called his son to take over and find a few guards.

Even the county magistrate who was said to have been lying in bed for several years and was in his sixties and had to rely on medicine all day long, miraculously improved. He came to work with his hands and crutches with his cane. Fortunately, there was nothing for him at this time, just come over to order Mao every day.

The position of chief clerk was empty and there was no one, so the master took charge of it. Although he was not on duty, he was in charge of the matter.

The renovation of the county government office has officially begun. All the wood, bricks and tiles have been moved over. The number of craftsmen has been invited. The county government office has no shortage of money. All repairs must be completed before the young prince recovers from his injuries.

Looking at the new guard suit on his body, Zhuang Rou turned her head and looked at Chen Mufeng who was standing at the county government gate, staring at her, raised her eyebrows and said, "Go on, you will be my follower from today."

Chen Mufeng quickly rode his tall horse with black hair as black as silk and said excitedly: "Jess Zhuang, I also hit an iron stick like you. What do you think?"

"Yes, if a fool like you brings a knife, he might kill someone. Actually, I'm not worried about this, mainly because I'm afraid you'll be snatched away by someone, and you'll kill yourself." Zhuang Rou stared at his waist and glanced at him. Sure enough, there was an iron stick, but it was not covered with cotton, but a layer of cloth strips that were easy to grasp.

Chen Mufeng slapped his chest and shouted loudly: "That's impossible. No one can hurt me except Sister Zhuang. Look at my strong muscles and my big fist, I can beat them into pieces of paper with one punch!"

Zhuang Rou rode on the horse, gave him a blank look and said, "Okay, we are going to handle the case, not to rob the house, what do we need to do with muscles!"

"It's almost done." A Mufeng smiled with a hint of laughter, and as soon as he grabbed his horse's belly, the two of them walked towards the city.

Ma Dezheng had already changed into a brand new headmaster at this time, and he had rice and food at home and didn't have to worry about his livelihood. He stood at the entrance of the county government office that was still repairing, and watched Zhuang Rou and the others leave for some reason.

He didn't understand what the rich young masters were thinking now. This was not the ninth young master of the Chen Shangshu family of the Ministry of Personnel. Why did he come here to be a follower for Zhuang Rou? He also forced them not to say it. They still need to tell you this. After following this sister in a few days, it would spread all over the streets.

At that time, if Chen Shangshu comes to him, don’t harm them, these little fish and shrimps.

However... he was full of doubts, what case Zhuang Rou was going to handle?

There are no cases now, and there are only those who are locked up in Jinbao Gambling. These things have to be processed by the Chen family before they can be handled. Could it be that Sister Zhuang wants to find some cases to make trouble again?

Ma De stood at the door for a while, and was rolled by the craftsman who repaired the door several times before he came to his senses amid the foreman's dissatisfaction complaints. Thinking about everything, she and the little prince were holding on to him, he was so worried that he would happily go back to the backyard to flatter him.

Zhuang Rou took Chen Mufeng to chat all the way, and left Douhu County and headed to Dachi Village, Beimen County. Before Lin Yubao's first seventh day, she wanted to see how the funeral was done.

The purple purple on Chen Mufeng's body has not completely retreated, but fortunately he is strong and he doesn't feel much pain when riding on the horse. He has never finished complaining.

"You only knelt in the ancestral hall all night? I thought it would be at least three days, but I didn't expect that Ling Zun really loves you." After hearing what happened that night, Zhuang Rou laughed. He was such a fool.

Seeing that there was no displeasure on her face, Chen Mufeng asked curiously: "I'm talking to my mother like this, aren't you angry?"

Zhuang Rou was a little puzzled, "Why am I angry? Aren't you the one with bad character? There are no rumors about me among the neighbors, so why are you looking for trouble?"

"But my mother has always wanted to find out who you are, and she is so annoying to me every day. Fortunately, I mentioned studying with my father yesterday, so I can only run out today, otherwise I will be annoyed by my mother." Chen Mufeng preached with lingering fear, and was very worried about how to explain this matter. Even his married elder sister came to interrogate him, and she could hardly bear it.

"If you want to die, just say who it is. I don't mind taking your body back to the Shangshu Mansion." Zhuang Rou said lightly.

Chen Mufeng said without any belief: "Tsk, I don't believe that you will kill me like this. Besides, it's just a case of arrest, and catch some little thieves to stop a few tunes\/How dangerous can it be for shameless people who play the good family women."

Listening to his despised tone, Zhuang Rou asked, "Why are you running over here? Go home to practice muscles."

"It's boring to arrest me, but you are good at Jie Zhuang. I mainly want to learn the art of fighting the enemy, not to be the one who defeated me." Chen Mufeng whistled and said disdainfully.

Zhuang Rou looked at him meaningfully and stopped mentioning this matter. Instead, she talked about the butler Li Zhongxin, "You only found out about the relationship between human teeth and him? How could it be that little bit?"

Chen Mufeng said dissatisfiedly: "Just a little housekeeper, how capable can he be. He is just a firework woman with good looks, and the woman I saw that day, but it is said that several maids are interested in him."

"Puff, he has dozens of acres of land and tens of thousands of taels of silver. Maybe he has more property than your concubines." Zhuang Rou smiled. He was so naive. He couldn't find out the things in the drawer that day. Novice is such a dish.

When Chen Mufeng was stunned when he heard that Li Zhongxin had so much property, he shouted in disbelief: "Impossible, how could he have so much money! That butler is not more, and he dares to use my family's money to fill his pockets!"

He was already very angry now. Even his beloved son, the Ninth Master, usually spends some money on a monthly basis, so how could he get tens of thousands of taels of silver? Now, when he heard that even a servant is richer than him, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Zhuang Rou was too lazy to pay attention to him, but he just taught a lesson: "What do you want to do is your business, but I am investigating this case. You are not allowed to alert the enemy. No matter how unhappy you are, you have to endure it. You can go and make trouble after the case is over."

"But I guess, your mother or Lord Shangshu will not do anything to your housekeepers."

Chen Mufeng said disbelief: "Why?"

"Do you think that the salary of Lord Shangshu is enough to support your whole family? Not to mention you legitimate sons, you can't even afford a few maids. Why don't you just sue your father and say he's corruption?" Zhuang Rou laughed.

"..." Chen Mufeng was so blocked that he couldn't speak, and he just felt that being a follower seemed meaningless.

The two of them kept talking all the way to Dachi Village. This time, Zhuang Rou didn't have to come secretly. Thinking that Lin Laicai's family is so rich, the funeral must be very lively. This kind of thing must be dispatched by the whole village. Although it sounds pitiful, it can be eaten and drunk for nothing.

But when they arrived at the entrance of the village, they found that there was no difference from the last time she came, and there was no sign of someone holding a funeral. She rode her horse and continued walking inside, and she felt something was wrong. There was nothing at the door of the Lin family's big mansion. What about the seventh mortal corpse?

Chen Mufeng looked around and asked curiously: "Where is the funeral? I want to see the water banquet. I heard that it is so lively to have a street where you can eat casually."

Zhuang Rou frowned at this time, jumped off her horse and walked to the door of the Lin family, and slapped the door directly.

The door creaked and opened. An old servant opened the door and saw a famous woman standing at the door. He couldn't help but be stunned and asked stammered: "I don't know what the hell is there?"

"Why didn't your family hold a funeral? Where did Lin Yubao's body go?" Zhuang Rou asked straight to the point.

The old servant looked at her blankly and said incoherently: "Miss Yubao just got married. When did he die?"

Zhuang Rou raised her eyebrows, pushed the old servant away and walked into the Lin family.
