Chapter 878 Big Work

The culprit will need to go through a joint trial of three departments. The Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment and the Jingzhao Yi Yamen will jointly review the case. As for the follow-up, Li Haitang can learn what she wants to know from the people's mouths without following up.

No, on the way back to Beijing, the street was blocked again, with carriages standing next to each other on both sides, leaving a road in the middle.

After a while, the people from the yamen led Ms. Lin and Zhuang Mu's parents in front, while Zhuang Ke, who was weak, was carried on a wooden bed and headed to the Jingzhaoyi yamen.

At the end of the group, Lin Zi's parents and everyone in the Lin family were also among them. Li Haitang lifted the car curtain and just met Lin Wan's eyes.

Lin Wan was in a hurry to go to the Yamen, so she had to blink in Li Haitang's direction, and Li Haitang nodded to express understanding.

"Tsk tsk, look, the two pretty boys at the front are both from Songhe Academy!" An old lady who was joining in the fun, Zilaisu, was talking to Li Haitang, "The one who killed and dismembered the body was not Miss Du. Young Master Chen is indeed a scholar, but his thoughts are different from those of us. He first looks for opportunities to cheat his own death, and then

No one would have thought of killing someone! "

"Isn't that true? I heard that Yang Xu's parents also knew about it and helped their son deceive us people. Fortunately, I thought he died unjustly and went to the Yamen to squat for several days, begging for justice!"

The speaker was an old man with white hair. He had his hands behind his back and wiped his sweat with a cotton handkerchief. He was very angry.

The people didn't know what happened. They only knew that the Yang Xu case, which had been going on for several months, had a shocking twist. Not only was Yang Xu not dead, he even went out to kill someone!

It involves a series of people and the case is quite complex.

For a time, the students of Songhe Academy stood at the forefront of the storm, and the young ladies who had come on holiday also stayed at home and did not dare to go out.

On Songhe Street, a new plaque has been hung up on his shop, which is covered with red silk cloth. There are only a few people on the bluestone path.

Craftsman Wang and his people continued to renovate the shop. They worked very quickly and it would be completed in a few days.

"The warehouse in the backyard is completely separated from the house, which will make it more convenient for people to live in in the future."

After the shop opened, Mrs. Wang had to work in the shop. She and Xiangli's master and servant could not live on the servant's property, not to mention it was not very convenient to get in and out.

Just a street away, there is an exquisite small courtyard with three rooms in the front and back yards. Li Haitang plans to buy it and settle down in Xiangli.

No one lives in the other two shops in the backyard, and the guys live in homes not far away. If they were occupied, they would at least have beds, tables, chairs, wardrobes, etc.

In the future, when more people are recruited, it will be easier to separate men's and women's schools with a wall in the middle.

Li Duanzu ran for two days to arrange the supply of goods, the transportation of incoming goods, etc. He drank a bowl of water, pointed at the door, and said with a sad face, "Madam, did we open at the wrong time?"

He went to the city in the morning. The city was noisy and everyone was talking about how bizarre the Yang Xu case was. It was even more lively than a few months ago.

The reputation of Songhe Academy was ruined, and many scholars who came from good families and believed themselves to be honest approached the principal and dropped out one after another.

In the past, the bustling Songhe Street was full of shops, and it took a long time before anyone passed by.

Li Duanzu sighed, the shop hadn't opened yet, he went from being full of confidence to now feeling discouraged, even anticipating a bad ending.

"We are just close to Songhe Academy, but we may not necessarily do Songhe Academy's business."

My family is in the food business. Who kills and dies, what does it have to do with food?

Another thing is that Songhe Academy is famous, and even if it is severely damaged, it is not a place that ordinary people can enter.

They are sluggish and unwilling to go out. They can also provide food delivery services. In short, making money should not be too rigid.

Li Haitang was about to leave when someone came to the door.

Zhao Laowu was in the night market, and was dug into a shop by Li Haitang with fifty taels of silver a month, which was far away from his home.

After he returned home, he discussed it with his mother, and she agreed without even thinking about it.

There is no need to work hard from morning to night to go to the shop. Zhao Laowu's mother felt sorry for her son, so she asked him to come here to take a look.

Pies fell from the sky, and the mother and son were still a little confused. They always felt that such a good thing should not find them.

Before dawn, Zhao Laowu finished boiling the medicine for his mother, then took the ox cart delivering goods from the north of the city. After walking for another hour, he finally arrived at the place.

He rubbed his hands and stood at the door. He was too embarrassed to come to the door, but he was met by the craftsmen who were leaving and led in.

"lady."

Zhao Laowu was a little embarrassed, but after seeing Li Haitang, his heart felt in his stomach. At least the other party really had a business, and he didn't lie to him or seek his happiness.

"You came just in time."

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Li Haitang was making arrangements. When he saw Zhao Laowu coming, he asked Li Duanjie to take him around the shop. In order to take care of his sick mother, he found a place to lean on the sunny side. A room with light.

Between the two rooms, under the eaves at the entrance, there is a row of anti-mosquito grasses, and there are clumps of morning glories climbing on the flower trellis.

"Manager Li, Zhao Laowu will be the barbecue worker in the shop from now on, earning five taels of silver a month."

Li Haitang told the Zhao family's situation and let Manager Li arrange the rest.

"Thank you, ma'am!"

When Zhao Laowu entered the house and took a look, he was immediately excited. The house is a brick house with tiles on it, which is much better than the dilapidated yard of my house.

If there is one small regret, it is that I cannot raise chickens and ducks.

There are all kinds of food in the shop every day. The owner provides food and lodging, so his mother doesn't have to cook. There are also all kinds of food, and the treatment is not generally good.

Earlier, some people were interested in his craftsmanship and invited him to work in the shop. But he couldn't take care of his mother after being out for just one day. Zhao Laowu's mother had inconvenient legs and feet and needed someone to cook medicine and cook from time to time.

"I've already said thank you, just do a good job."

Li Haitang waved his hand. The only thing missing in the room was a bed. He could move it to another room now, so that he could send a carriage to pick up Zhao Laowu and his mother in more than half a day.

Before the shop opened, it was the busiest time. The shop had to order a large oven, and Zhao Laowu had to help.

At noon, when the weather became increasingly muggy, Li Haitang and her savage husband went to Songhe Tower for dinner.

Inside the Songhe Tower, it was cool and cool. The couple ordered their dishes, and within a quarter of an hour, they were all served.

"Man, the food is served quickly today."

Li Haitang looked at the glacier flames in front of him, which were actually tomatoes mixed with sugar, and twitched the corner of his mouth. The dishes are simple, but the speed is really fast.

"Madam, you don't know, but the scholars from Songhe Academy have all gone to Jingzhaoyi Yamen to hear the trial." The waiter was gossiping. The boss thought that no one would come to eat today, so they were all going to close the door for a day and take a rest.
