Wang Houde couldn't figure out when he had offended this new master? "No... Sir." Wang Houde swallowed and didn't know what to say, "If you do this, I..."

Before he could think about how to word his words, Zhao Ruxi waved his hand and smiled warmly: "Don't be nervous. Wang Lizheng, if you are just like what Chen Jingcheng said just now, you are upright, fair and worthy of the villagers.

I have no regrets, so what I did was just a formality. After all, I can't just listen to you and the couple arguing, right? I have to investigate the truth in the village. Don't worry, since you don't do anything wrong, don't

Afraid."

As she spoke, she waved her hand and walked in: "Come on, let's go in. Don't you still have something to say to me?"

What else can you say!

Wang Houde's chest was about to explode with anger.

Mr. Zhao, why is he so careless in his work?

People say that officials protect each other. They are upright people. Although they have no rank, they can still be regarded as government officials. They worry about the government all day long and run errands for the government. In the end, they have to make sacrifices to the adults, clerks, and servants in the government. There is no

Credit also comes with hard work. So they didn't kill people and set fires, causing the villagers to complain, and the people in the government offices always favored them.

But this Mr. Zhao didn't show any kindness at all and just incited the villagers to change their ways. Isn't this too disrespectful of the rules of the world?

Chen Kang rolled his eyes, and while following Zhao Ruxi inside, he pushed Wang Houde and said, "Why are you still standing there? Didn't your Excellency say that? It's just a formality. I can't just listen to your family's words.

Don’t you draw conclusions without investigating?”

Pushing Wang Houde and Zhao Ruxi into the Wang family gate, he raised his voice slightly and said: "Don't worry, as long as you don't do anything unconscionable, your Excellency will naturally protect you. After all, Your Excellency has just taken over the task of taking over grain collection, water conservancy, and farming.

What can't I rely on you guys to be upright?"

Zhao Ruxi stopped for a moment and turned around to look at Chen Kang.

Chen Kang did not shy away and nodded to Zhao Ruxi with a smile.

Zhao Ruxi turned back expressionlessly, entered the Wang family hall, and sat down on her original seat.

She said to Wang Houde: "Okay, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Wang Houde felt better after hearing what Chen Kang said. He thought that Zhao Ruxi was really just going through the motions. He asked the nursing home to ask the villagers. What he said just now was just to establish the image of an upright and good official in the hearts of the villagers.

It’s not that I really want to change my face, let alone that I want to punish him.

He cheered up and talked about his grievances with the couple.

The man's name is Wang Dazhu, and the woman's name is Yuan. The couple only gave birth to one daughter, Wang Xian, who is fifteen years old this year and is very beautiful. Because they only have one daughter, they have been pampered and raised since childhood.

Wang Dazhu and his wife were reluctant to let her get married, so they wanted to recruit a bride. However, all the people who could be their son-in-law were crooked, and Wang Dazhu and his wife did not like her, so they have been delaying the engagement until now.

Wang Houde's youngest son had a fever that burned out his brain when he was a child. He only has the intelligence of a seven- or eight-year-old child. He seems to be normal when talking and doing things, but after a little contact, you know that his intelligence is not at a normal level.

For this reason, his son, who is fifteen years old this year, has not been engaged. Because Wang Houde's family has good conditions, many people are willing to marry into it, but his son always thinks that the family is not good-looking and loses his temper and is unwilling to marry.

One time his son went out to play and met Wang Xian, so he made a fuss about marrying Wang Xian.

Wang's wife found her son at this time, motioned her son to salute Zhao Ruxi, and said: "Sir, you see, my son's mind is like that of a seven or eight-year-old child. What does he know about bullying men and dominating women? He doesn't even know when he goes out to play.

Could it be that Wang Xian seduced him, and when he came back he was asking us to marry Wang Xian for him?"

Zhao Ruxi glanced at Wang Houde's son.

His son and Wang Houde were cast from the same mold, with a chubby face, chubby body and squinty eyes.

He listened to his mother's instructions and bowed to Zhao Ruxi in an upright manner.

He doesn't move and doesn't speak, and he looks like a good boy.

"Okay, you ask him to come back, don't be rude to Mr. Zhao." Wang Houde said quickly.

He knew that Zhao Ruxi was a girl who was only fifteen years old, the same age as his son, and he was worried that his stupid son did not understand etiquette and would bump into someone else's noble lady.

However, when he thought about the fact that a woman had become the number one scholar and had reached the sixth rank as an official, while his own son was stupid and foolish and could do nothing but eat and drink, he felt that God was unfair.

Wang's wife quickly called her son back, and said with tears: "We are all from the same village, and we also know the situation of Wang Dazhu's family. Considering that the two children are the same age and from the same village, since it is difficult to get married in his family, maybe

Let's talk about it, maybe he is willing to marry his daughter into my family. Although my son is not smart, he is not really stupid. The family has money, and her daughter will have no worries about food and drink when she marries her, and she will have servants to take care of her, so she doesn't have to work in the fields.

"How many girls want to marry me but I still look down on them."

"I asked someone to propose marriage, but it turned out that his family didn't agree. That's fine if he didn't agree. My family's conditions are good, and my son is just a little naive. It's not that he can't marry a wife. But after a few days, Wang Xian didn't know why.

He actually jumped into the river."

Wang's wife raised her head and looked at Zhao Ruxi expectantly: "I think there must be a reason for Wang Xian's death. It's just that Wang Dazhu and his wife wanted to extort money to cover up the scandal their daughter had done, or maybe they were tricked by others.

He insisted that it was his daughter who was forced to death by my family."

Zhao Ruxi said: "You said you were instigated by someone, but do you have a clear suspect?"

The royal wife turned to look at her husband.

Wang Houde said quickly: "I suspect that one is Wang Fuyun from the village, and the other is Li Zhengsun Zhengbao from Huaishu Village."

He further explained: "Wang Fuyun's son was admitted as a scholar two years ago, and his family also has some money. Ever since his son was admitted as a scholar, he has been coveting this position. Huaishu Village and our village have always had old grudges. Sun Zhengbao

We have always been at odds with each other, and it is possible that I wanted to let Wang Dazhu and his wife blame me for their daughter's death when the Lord came to the village. Wang Dazhu's wife is from Huaishu Village."

What the couple said was reasonable and well-founded. If Zhao Ruxi hadn't asked Zhou Chun to hire idle men from the city to inquire about the situation in each village a few days ago when Zhao Ruxi was looking at the files and accounts, they would have been deceived by the couple.

However, Zhao Ruxi did not expose it and nodded: "Okay, I understand the situation. When my nursing home comes back, I will listen to the people in the village and make a decision on this matter."
