Everything is fine

Jiang Tingxiu seldom spoke on weekdays. When faced with Mianmian's question, he only answered two words, "Everything is fine."

"Really? Do my second and third cousins ​​miss me? Have they done their homework? Mianmian's homework has been done."

"You'll know when you meet them."

"Also, and... the fifth uncle, he..."

Jiang Tingxiu was a little afraid of Mianmian's chatty nature, so he quickly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Mr. Mo.

Only then did Mianmian remember, "Uncle Six, have you eaten? Are you hungry?"

Jiang Tingxiu's ears turned red, "No, uh."

Mianmian hurriedly asked Xiaoxiazi Hongkui to go to the kitchen to heat up the food.

Mianmian excitedly gave Jiang Tingxiu the fruit shared with her by the children in the village.

Jiang Tingxiu raised the corners of his mouth while enjoying Mianmian's service.

Suddenly, a smell wafted to Mianmian's nose. She smelled it hard, and then frowned tightly.

It was like the leaves of the leaves on the grass in the mountains were rotten and disgusting. Uncle Six always liked to be clean, so how could he allow such a smell to stick to his body?

Could it be that the matter in Jiangling County was urgent and Uncle Six couldn't take care of so much? If that was the case, Mianmian should have gone to help.

"Uncle Six, what do you smell like?"

Jiang Tingxiu lowered his head and sniffed, and also disliked the smell, "Maybe it got on accidentally, Mianmian, stay away from me, don't let it get on your body."

Although Mianmian didn't like the smell, she liked her sixth uncle. Instead of moving further away, she got closer.

"Mianmian doesn't dislike it. Mianmian likes whatever Uncle Six looks like. Uncle Six, you haven't said where the smell comes from?"

Jiang Tingxiu shook his head, obviously not wanting to say anything.

Although Mianmian was curious, she didn't ask. Instead, she got a basin of water, wetted it with a small handkerchief and used it to wipe his face.

Jiang Tingxiu felt warm in his heart. Suddenly he thought of something and asked, "During my absence, have you practiced the kung fu I gave you?"

Mianmian lowered her head with a guilty conscience and said in a voice as loud as a mosquito, "I rarely practice recently, but uncle Six, don't worry, I'm exercising."

She runs around with the children in the village every day, which should be considered exercise.

Jiang Tingxiu stared at her for a long time, until Xiao Xiazi heated up the food.

At this time, Mr. Mo's face in the room changed drastically. He thought for a while, picked up a pen and started writing on the paper.

Mianmian ran into the house: "Master, master, what did the fourth uncle write in the letter? Does he need help? Should we go there quickly?"

Mr. Mo was writing a reply when he heard this and handed the letter to Mianmian.

Mianmian looked at it carefully, and after a while, she raised her confused eyes.

"Master, the letter says that a group of ancient tombs have been discovered in Jiangling County. What are ancient tombs?"

"An ancient tomb is a cemetery." Mr. Mo took the time to answer.

Mianmian understands that a cemetery is a place where the dead are buried, and the ancient tombs should be a place where many dead people are buried.

"Master, are there a lot of gold and silver jewelry in the ancient tombs? Did the jewelry we found in Suzhou from Jiangling County come from inside?"

Mr. Mo glanced at Mianmian with admiration and nodded: "Yes, combined with your fourth uncle's investigation, everything has become clear. A group of ancient tombs was discovered in Jiangling County. In order to collect the contents of the ancient tombs, Magistrate Hu

He took the treasure for himself and used money to clear the way, which led to the officials in the entire Youzhou concealing it and working together. This is a big matter, and if it goes wrong, many people will be implicated."

Mr. Mo reminded: "Mianmian, your fourth uncle told you to stay here and not to act rashly for the time being. You should not go out and walk around these days, do you understand?"

"knew."

Jiang Jixun and the others arrived in Jiangling County about half a month earlier than Mianmian.

At that time, the county magistrate of Jiangling County personally went to the city gate to greet them, and learned that they were here for a life case in Jiangling County. Magistrate Hu also cooperated very well and handed over all the investigation contents and eyewitness statements to Jiang Jixun.

I'm still afraid it's not enough.

Jiang Jixun felt that Magistrate Hu was too enthusiastic, a little too enthusiastic, but when he investigated the case, he found no clues in the case file.

If someone hadn't sorted out the case files in advance, or Magistrate Hu had already thoroughly investigated the case, there was nothing to be confused about, and the case could be decided directly.

However, many years of experience made Jiang Jixun feel that there was something fishy about this matter.

He found an excuse to stay and quietly reviewed the details of the entire case. There were no problems in other aspects. However, when he wanted to check the corpses, he was told that all the corpses of the deceased had been cremated.

Generally, only unnamed corpses will be cremated after seven days of being unclaimed. The corpses of the victims are often taken away by their families, and they are rarely directly cremated unless there is an epidemic.

When Jiang Jixun asked about this matter, Magistrate Hu suddenly became hesitant and only said that this was the local custom.

But after Jiang Jixun inquired with the locals, they found that there was no local custom of cremation at all, and the local people were very resistant to cremation.

This is strange, why did Magistrate Hu insist on cremating the body of the deceased?

Magistrate Hu saw that Jiang Jixun was difficult to deal with, so he simply began to avoid seeing him.

Jiang Jixun took this opportunity to check the county government's files and records, and found no trace of taking in the victims for credit. In this regard, Magistrate Hu did much better than Magistrate Chai.

After reading the records of the county government, even Jiang Jixun had to say with emotion that Magistrate Hu worked seriously and recorded his work in detail. If it was proved that Magistrate Hu did not make a big mistake in the end, he would be very willing to recommend Magistrate Hu.

Become an official in the capital.

Unfortunately, things backfired. A few days later, Jiang Jixun discovered an important piece of information in a work diary.

Some people reported to the government office that they had discovered a large tomb of a prince of a certain dynasty in the county.

Logically speaking, such a situation should be reported to the state government. The state government will decide whether to report it to the court based on the situation?

However, the imperial court did not receive a detailed report on this matter, and Governor Zhao did not mention it when he saw him before.

It happened that at this time, Jiang Youquan also discovered some clues.

It turned out that the escorts from the escort agency under Jiang Youquan's name had some problems when passing through Jiangling County, and were detained by the county government. Jiang Youquan spent a lot of effort to find them.

Finally, Magistrate Hu was found.

After Magistrate Hu learned of this, he not only released all the escorts, but also returned all the goods belonging to the escorts and compensated them with some things.

The escorts taken by the escort agency on this trip were very valuable, otherwise Jiang Youquan would not have come in person.
