New widow

Chapter 390

Zhang Qing hurriedly said respectfully: "What you said makes sense. Since I have given you three days, I will try my best to investigate within three days."

"Go!" The prefect stared at Zhang Qing steadily, and it took a while before he said this. Zhang Qing bowed again and then left.

The magistrate looked at Zhang Qing's back and frowned. What on earth was he thinking? The two subordinate officials given to him were more disobedient than the other. Fortunately, except for the two of them, the other subordinate officials were all very good. Wait until During the evaluation, others will naturally give you a good grade.

Three days, and three more days. Thinking of the last time the prefect had a three-day deadline, Zhang Qing couldn't help but smile when he left the prefect's study. It's just that someone helped last time. How should he check this time?

Zhang Qing was tapped on the shoulder. He turned around and saw Su Du standing behind him. Zhang Qing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "You came just in time. I want to ask for your help."

Before Su Du could ask what help he wanted, the housekeeper walked out of the study, came to Su Du, and said respectfully: "Su Tongpan, sir, please come in."

When Zhang Qing heard this, he knew that he had no choice but to ask Su Du for help. He had to find a way to find clues on his own. So Zhang Qing said to Su Du: "It seems that you can't help me this time?"

Su Du wanted to ask more, but the housekeeper was already urging him, so Su Du could only follow the housekeeper and go inside.

Zhang Qing then walked out. Since Su Du couldn't help, he went to check and find out what happened to that woman, her cousin.

If you want to check this, you can't go there wearing official uniforms as usual. You can't even dress up like ordinary people. Zhang Qing thought for a moment.

, so he picked up the clothes he often wore when he was in the capital. Not long after returning to Tuiguan Yamen, the back door of Tuiguan Yamen opened, and a salesman walked out. Zhang Qing tightened the salesman's bag around his body, He touched the beard on his lips again. This skill was not unfamiliar yet. At this moment, let alone someone who had only seen him once or twice, even if Su Du walked towards him, he would not be able to recognize him at a glance. Own.

Zhang Qing walked all the way outside the city. Zhang Qing knew where the family lived, so Zhang Qing walked directly to the village. Before entering the village, a woman stopped Zhang Qing. , asked Zhang Qing if the salesman had any sugar in his bag to sell.

Of course, the seller's bag was complete, so Zhang Qing put down the seller's bag and took out the candy. The woman took the candy and took out half a piece of cloth: "Here, you can exchange for some." Sugar.”

Zhang Qing took the homespun cloth and looked at it carefully for a long time before shaking his head: "That's all. This cloth is only suitable for making shoes for others. It can't be exchanged for much money."

"This cloth can be used to make two or three pairs of shoes." The woman was naturally dissatisfied, so Zhang Qing joked with the woman for a few words and continued walking forward. He was about to reach the door of the family's house, but the woman Before leaving, he still said loudly to Zhang Qing: "I'm telling you, you don't have to go forward. There is no shortage of food and clothing in my family. You can't exchange for your cloth."

Zhang Qing put down the salesman's load and wanted to say a few words to the woman. Then he saw the door of the house opened and a woman walked out. When she saw Zhang Qing, her lips curled up: "Why are you here today?" Is the seller’s load here?” As she said this, the woman walked up to Zhang Qing.

, looked at it and frowned: "Why haven't I seen you before? You look so unfamiliar."

The salesmen who frequented these villages were naturally familiar to everyone. Zhang Qing had already expected such a question, and said with a smile: "I just came here, and I didn't think there was any other reason, so I just picked it." A salesman's burden."

As he spoke, Zhang Qing took out a few tiger cubs and other toys from the seller's basket, smiled at the woman and said, "If you have children at home, buy them back for them to play with."

The woman looked at the goods in Zhang Qing's hand and frowned tightly: "These things are so crude that they can only be used to coax those country people."

These words were said so arrogantly that Zhang Qing's face suddenly dropped. He put the goods back into the salesman's load and was about to pick them up and take them away. The woman just curled her lips and went back to her home.

The woman in front had already clapped her hands and laughed: "I told you not to go to his house. His family is the richest in our village. Now he has hooked up with someone else. Listen, He said, for this reason, he still harmed..."

Before the woman could finish her words, a man's roar could already be heard in the courtyard: "What are you doing in public all day long? Why don't you come in quickly to comfort your children?"

The woman agreed repeatedly and walked inside. Zhang Qing seemed to have something wrong when he heard this. He originally wanted to ask carefully, but who knew that the woman was blocked by the man, so Zhang Qing took up the responsibility of the salesman and continued. Walk.

At noon, there were not many people in the village. Zhang Qing walked around and returned to the original woman's house. He saw that the door was still open, but there was a man standing at the door as if waiting for something.

So Zhang Qing greeted with a smile: "You want to drink, I am in this burden.

But there is good wine. "

Hearing that there was good wine, the man's eyebrows moved slightly, and then the man said: "You are a very discerning person. Who knows where you came from."

"It's funny. I've traveled all over the country and been to many places. But when I came here, I ran out of money, so I picked a peddler to carry the load. I thought I could make some money so I could travel. Why did it become like this in your mouth? Man." Zhang Qing knew that he couldn't show any guilt at this moment, so he calmed the man down with a few words.

So the man smiled and said: "You don't know, we are all tenants of other people's families." As he said this, the man pursed his lips and said: "The man of the family you were talking to her just now is very different from our farmer." Well, if she is offended, how can the family live on if the village head takes back the land?"

tenant? Zhang Qing smiled: "There are only a few families in this city who are tenant farmers of the Wang family?"

The man smiled and shook his head: "It's not the Wang family, it's the Du family."

A tenant farmer of the Du family? Zhang Qing was surprised at this time. He didn't expect that Aunt Du could afford to support such a village's tenant farmers after bringing so much to her parents' family.

"Is your wine good?" The man had already looked at the salesman's basket. Zhang Qing opened the salesman's basket with a smile, took out a can of wine from it, and removed the stopper: "Smell it, smell it."

The wine smelled so fragrant that the man's mouth was watering: "Okay, I'm going to find something to exchange for wine." Zhang Qing took out another bag of peanuts: "If you buy wine, you can also get food and drinks."

Now that the food and wine were ready, the man turned around and went inside. Zhang Qing frowned slightly. So, this woman is a tenant farmer of the Du family, and Mrs. Du wants to give it to her.

It is conceivable that his son would marry such a beautiful wife.
