Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 159 The Lady of the Constable's House (37)

"Zhang Jin'er, you really did it right!"

The elegant Zhang Jin'er looked at Zhang Jieying on the ground with disdain and taunted: "Zhang Jieying... Oh! I should call you Miss Ying'er, but I didn't expect you to have such a tough life."

"Are you also..."

"So what if it is, so what if it isn't, in this life, you can only be stepped on by me, and what is not yours will never be yours."

Zhang Jin'er lazily said to the servants, "Second Master will be going to Kyoto to take up his post soon. Don't let some ignorant bastards tarnish his reputation."

"Ma'am, I know what to do."

"If you don't remove the roots, the grass will grow again in the spring breeze. Don't leave any tails before daybreak."

"Yes!"

Zhang Jin'er retreated nervously. The servants were pressing forward step by step. It was impossible for anyone to meddle in other people's business in such a remote and shabby courtyard.

Just when Zhang Jin'er thought she was going to die, she noticed a dog hole behind her. She quickly crawled out, ignoring the pain on her face from the grass and thorns.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and chase him!"

Zhang Jin'er was also a little nervous. She and Zhang Jieying were destined to fight to the death. This time she poisoned herself to make herself infertile. She wanted this woman to die.

A group of servants hurriedly chased after him, but the dog hole was small, so the big and strong man could only turn back...

Gu Yuxi brought out the cooked porridge, only to hear horses and donkeys braying in the backyard. The sound was different from before. The couple looked at each other and walked quickly to the backyard.

"Stop yelling, you beast!"

"Sir, no one is going to steal horses or donkeys, is that right?"

Xiao Zhuoxuan ran over quickly and saw a dirty beggar climbing onto his horse, and the donkey was lying on the ground: it was breathing heavily, foaming at the mouth, and looked dead!

"What a thief!"

"drive!"

The woman stabbed the horse's neck with a dagger. The horse was startled and immediately rushed forward and jumped out of the fence.

"Ms. sir!"

"My dear, wait at home. I will go after her!"

Gu Yuxi looked at the twitching Xiaodai and could only stop, stuffed a detoxification pill into the donkey's mouth, then took out a silver needle from its hair and started acupuncture.

She returned to the yard, got some herbs from the utility room, and started to boil the medicine. While watching the fire, she fed her son porridge. When she went to the backyard, the donkey stopped twitching and its eyes turned from white to normal color.

Xiao Yuming touched the donkey's head and said, "Stupid!"

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Xiao Zhuoxuan was chasing the horse. Fortunately, this was a deserted place, otherwise the market would have been completely destroyed. He flew over, kicked the thief away, grabbed the horse's reins, and stopped the riot.

"You are so brave. You can steal anything else but my horse and poison my donkey. Come with me to the government office!"

"No, please let me go, I will work like a slave to repay you."

"I have horses and donkeys, what do I need you for?"

After saying that, Xiao Zhuoxuan stuffed a piece of smelly cloth into the woman's mouth and tied up the thief with a horse rope.

"Detective Xiao, what are you doing?"

"This thief stole my horse and poisoned my donkey. I was just about to send her to the government office to be beaten."

"So that's what happened. A goose was lost from my house yesterday. Maybe this thief stole it. I'll go with you."

When Zhang Jin'er's servant saw Xiao Zhuoxuan tying up the person he had been looking for for a while, he walked over and said, "Captain Xiao, this woman is the thief we are looking for. She stole our lady's jade ruyi."

"Ask Constable Xiao, please hand this man over to us..."

"No! This thief stole my horse and stabbed its neck. He also poisoned my wife's donkey. He must be beaten. Even if Madam Guo comes, she must first beat him and compensate my family."

"This……"

The servants didn't know what to do and could only run to the teahouse to ask questions.

"Why didn't the constable release him? Are they in league with the thief?"

"Madam, that woman stole the constable's horse and poisoned his donkey. Now the constable won't let her go. He said he would give her a beating and compensation no matter what."

Zhang Jin'er was immediately happy. This thief was used to being a thief. Why should she waste her energy when someone was helping her?

"Since the thief is stealing again, we should focus on the constable first, and we will make a decision later. But we should also stand guard nearby to prevent the thief from escaping again."

"That's what the lady said."

Gu Yuxi heard that Xiao Zhuoxuan had already caught the thief and sent him to the government office. Just as she was about to go over, she saw several yamen runners coming over and saying, "Sister-in-law, Brother Xiao said your donkey was poisoned. We are here to collect evidence."

"Sir, please follow me."

The men walked to the backyard and saw a donkey lying on the ground. There was a smell of medicine in the air.

"Sister-in-law, I don't know if this beast can be saved. Have you found a doctor?"

"I know a few things. I just made some herbal soup. Otherwise, the donkey would have been gone long ago."

The men looked at the collapsed fence and went to collect evidence from people nearby.

"Well, the evidence is irrefutable. The thief will definitely be punished."

"Sir, is my husband okay?"

"It's okay, sister-in-law has to go with us."

"it is good."

Gu Yuxi left his son in the care of Tie Saozi, and followed those people to the outside of the yamen, where he saw Xiao Zhuoxuan pulling the injured horse.

She just glanced casually at the disheveled thief and didn't see the stunned look on his face.

"Ms. sir, are you okay?"

"My dear, I'm fine. It's just that the horse is injured. I'll have to ask you to make some plaster for me when I get back."

Inside the government office, the senior officials looked resentful, wondering if their vacation was gone.

"Inspector General, we have found out that this person is indeed a thief."

"Sir, the second wife of the Guo family is here."

"Ma'am, please take a seat."

"Sir, our wife's jade ruyi was also stolen by this thief. We were just about to arrest her and bring her to justice, but she did something unbelievable again."

When the host saw Zhang Jin'er's maid handing a bulging purse to her subordinate, he immediately slammed the table and cursed: "What a greedy thief! Has the Xiao family's evidence collector returned?"

"Sir, the witnesses and evidence are waiting outside."

"Call them all in."

Zhang Jin'er was also surprised when she saw the lady from the Xiao family. She didn't expect to meet an old friend from her previous life in a place like this.

Zhang Xinliang is not a playboy, so it was Gu Yuxi's ability to climb to that height in her previous life. But she married a constable in this life, and many things have changed.

Zhang Jin'er reminded: "Sir, how should we deal with this thief?"

"With the evidence in hand, we have to punish him with a stick. According to the laws of our dynasty, a thief must be punished with 20 strokes of the cane, and a person who poisons cattle, horses or other livestock must be punished with 70 strokes of the cane.

As Xiao Zhuoxuan's horse and donkey are still alive, the thief's sentence will be reduced to 50 strokes of the cane and 20 strokes. As for Mrs. Guo's valuables... the total sentence of the cane is 45 strokes. The thief may have any objection."

Those people took the rag away. Zhang Jieying had lost control and cursed at Zhang Jiner: "Zhang Jiner, I was wondering how you could have the ability to predict the future. It turns out that you and that bitch Gu Yuxi were in cahoots with each other."
