Chapter 1801 Zhou's Son-in-Law

In Pingzhou, the young man saw that his young master was standing still, so he hurried forward and asked worriedly, "Young master, what's wrong with you?"

All the servants in the Hou Mansion knew that Lord Hou loved the young master the most, and they were really afraid that the young master would not be able to explain when he returned home when he was ill.

Chang Zhong waved his hand, "Your son, I'm fine, let's go, let's go back to the house quickly, I want to take a good bath."

The smell on his body is considered good. Although he is served by others, he has also developed the ability to take care of himself because he has to take part in the imperial examination. The next door to him is the worst candidate. Sometimes it is not water spilled, and sometimes ink is spilled. Fortunately, he can meditate Not affected.

The servant lifted up the kettle in his hand, "Here is boiled soup, the villain has been covering it to keep it cool, young master drink a few sips to warm his stomach."

In his heart, the young master suffered a serious crime in three consecutive exams. Fortunately, the young master has a good foundation in martial arts since he was a child. Listen, someone came out coughing.

Changzhong took it and drank it, feeling much better in his stomach, "Where are the others?"

This time, the Zhou clan referenced a lot, and there were also a few sons-in-law of the Zhou clan, that’s right, the sons-in-law. The women of the Zhou clan don’t have to worry about getting married, and the more they marry, the better. Most of them are scholars. Chang Zhong went to give lectures on ethnology. I also met many son-in-laws of the Zhou family.

The most intuitive manifestation of the clan's strength is that married women have strong backs in their husband's family, and because Zhou's daughters are literate and polite, they have never been domineering. Married women understand that the family's good reputation is hard-won, and they will maintain their reputation when they marry. This also caused a lot of Zhou's daughters to engage in marriage before they were old.

The boy replied, "Most of them have come out and are waiting at the carriage."

"Let's go too."

The servant couldn't help asking in a low voice, "My lord, are the exam questions difficult?"

Changzhong has the right to speak. This time, the questions in the Qiuwei exam are really not difficult. It also has something to do with the region. The country is too big to follow the southern standards. This also caused very few students in the north of Chunwei to rank high. Brother Wu Ming is a genius in the sky!

Even if he wins the number one prize, there is still a gap between him and Brother Wu Ming. He grew up with an elite education, and Brother Wu Ming only relies on himself.

Chang Zhong shook his head slightly, the boy understood, but became anxious, "What should I do?"

He heard the young master say that the more difficult the exam questions, the more distance he can open up. His young master wants to win six yuan!

Changzhong smiled, "Okay, let's go."

In the capital, Zhou Shuren went home and changed his clothes, the food was already on the table, "What day is today, so rich?"

Zhulan sat down and said, "The day when your son Qiuwei ends."

"I said I forgot something."

"Really forget?"

Zhou Shuren smiled, "I haven't forgotten, it's time for this kid to go home."

"Yeah, I don't know the result."

Zhou Shuren has confidence in his son, "It won't be bad."

Worst not understanding meta.

Zhulan handed the good soup to her husband, "I'm not worried about Changzhong, I'm worried about Changzhi. Qiuwei's case will go to trial, and that's when the counterattack will be the strongest."

Zhou Shuren said: "Recently, I also asked the emperor, and the emperor only told me that he is sorting out the evidence, and the officials sent by the Ministry of Household Affairs to Chuanzhou will be able to arrive in Chuanzhou in a few days."

Zhulan drank a few sips of the soup by herself, um, the mushroom soup is delicious, "I can feel relieved when Zhang Jinghong is in the past."

Zhou Shuren said, "It is because he is so powerful that I chose him to help Changzhi."

He was kind to Zhang Jinghong, and Zhang Jinghong also broke the wrist with King Qi and others, so he was relieved when Zhang Jinghong helped Changzhi.

After the couple finished their meal, the temperature was pretty good. The two got up to go shopping in the garden. Zhulan said as she walked, "Minghui rewrote the booklet he compiled and gave it to me this afternoon."

"Well, I'll take a look when I go back later."

Zhulan smiled and said, "The third son's family letter has arrived today, everything is fine with the little grandson."

Zhou Shuren was worried about the little grandson he had never seen before, "I don't know when I will see Minghu."

Zhulan also sighed, the child is too young, even the couple who are older are reluctant to send it back, the third couple are getting older and hope the child is by their side.

Zhou Shuren said again: "Today the emperor mentioned the marriage of the third prince."

"I thought the emperor was still angry for Chuanzhou!"

Zhou Shuren pouted,

"The emperor has known for a long time that the recent anger is all staged."

Zhulan asked, "Oh, it seems that the third prince has done a good job in the Ministry of Industry."

Otherwise, the emperor wouldn't mention it too much, and neglecting it since childhood will form a habit.

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Well, the third prince broke down the various technologies improved by the Ministry of Industry, and also evaluated the selling price. The third prince is very attentive."

Zhulan's eyes were sarcastic, "I heard from Changyi that the Second Prince is still unsteady in his work."

"Um."

The next day in Chuanzhou City, Changzhi woke up a little dazed, and was surprised when he saw the sky was bright. He got up and got dressed to see Ding Jue, "Why didn't you call me the official?"

Ding Jue said: "It's rare for your lord to sleep well, I want you to rest for a while."

Changzhi slept for more than three hours, and his mind was much more relaxed, "I rested well, and I can try the case today."

Ding Jue suppressed the excitement in his heart, "My lord, whose case will be tried first today?"

Changzhi, "..."

There are too many cases, almost all the officials in Chuanzhou City are imprisoned, the emperor has sent someone here, and the new magistrate will have to wait for a while.

Ding Jue asked, "My lord?"

Chang Zhi washed his face before saying, "Start with Shi Zhifu."

Ding Jue said: "Yes."

Changzhi's food and practicality were all prepared by the emperor's people, because he still had some terrible things mixed in in the government office, so he simply ate breakfast, put on his official uniform, and interrogated the Shi Zhifu.

Shi Zhifu is indeed cautious. Once the opening is opened, it will be the easiest to find all the evidence. Behind the cautiousness is arrogance. The arrogance thinks that his secrecy measures are foolproof.

Knowing the trial today, there are quite a few people listening outside.

Shi Zhifu was brought up, this man was over 40 years old and had been in prison for many days, Shi Zhifu lost his elegant temperament, and he was more than ten years older.

Changzhi didn't abuse anyone, he told the guarding soldiers not to embarrass them, and told them to pay more attention to prevent someone from committing suicide in fear of crime.

Shi Zhifu stood in the courtroom. He had not been convicted yet. He looked up at Zhou Changzhi. After all, he underestimated this man.

Changzhi didn't hesitate to try the case for the first time, with all the charges and complete evidence, "Can you plead guilty?"

Shi Zhifu was depressed. He knew that not only himself, but also the whole family would be ruined, and his son and daughter would be affected. "The guilty minister pleaded guilty, and please forgive the children in the family."

Changzhi, "If you plead guilty, you will be charged."

He was not surprised by the joy of the prefect Shi. It is better to plead guilty and seek leniency than to struggle in vain. It is a pity that the prefect Shi has been charged with too many crimes, and no one can protect the prefect Shi's family.

In the days that followed, Changzhi tried the case in the morning and read the examination papers in the afternoon. He was like a spinning top. Because the assistant examiner and others were arrested, Changzhi borrowed certificate officials from several nearby states to come over, so that the rush did not affect his grades.

The case in Chuanzhou was tried very quickly. Changzhi hit everyone by surprise, and the evidence was not transferred, which made it easier for Changzhi to try the case.

Of course, there are also those who plead not guilty and call for injustice, but they will be scorned by the evidence. In the end, they can only plead guilty. Following the trial, some small fish were also caught, and they could not be released from prison.
