Chen Laosi looked up at the two of them, raised his hand and made a silence move, moved the stool towards Liu Renli, and said in a low voice again.

"I didn't know at that time, but Mr. Zhang called the woman Cuilan. I didn't know until Chen Xinrong's family held a funeral. His wife Yang was called Cuilan. I saw it from afar and it was the same person."

Zhou Yian was anxious, "Since you know, why don't you report to the official?"

Chen Laosi sneered and picked up the wine cup again, looking disdainful.

"Report to the official? I am a thief, how do I report to the official?"

Zhou Yian was immediately depressed. He just forgot about this. Chen Laosi was just a thief and accidentally encountered this evil deed.

The other party is a famous local charity, and even if you report it, it will be a blow.

In the Daliang Law, the punishment for thieves is to steal but not get money. If you get money, you will be beaten fifty. If you get money, you will be stabbed by the right arm and steal by the right arm, and then you will be stabbed by the left arm. If you commit money, you will be beaten by the third one.

Zhou Yian thought of this and looked at Chen Laosi's arm. He was drinking a little hot at this time. He rolled up his sleeves, and there was no tattoo on his arms. Zhou Yian looked at Liu Renli and shook his head slightly.

Liu Renli naturally understood what he meant and turned to look at Chen Laosi.

"Why did Chen Xinrong's uncle shout for justice?"

Chen Laosi opened his drunken eyes and looked at Liu Renli with a look of a fool.

"What's wrong with this? Chen Xinrong is a meat-selling butcher. He is rich in Wuqing County. He is dead and has no children. They can sit idly by, just want to get a piece of Chen Xinrong's property, and they are all poor!"

Liu Renli looked at Chen Laosi. Although this person was a thief, he had no choice but to force him. If he had not had food, he would never have reached this point.

A purse was taken out from the cuff, took out two taels of scattered silver, and placed it in front of Chen Laosi.

"You can find a way to survive when you are poor. Stealing is not the right way. You can keep these silver for the New Year first, and I will collect this jade pendant first. If someone wants you to testify, I hope to tell the truth at that time, and men will stand up to the top."

Chen Laosi looked at Liu Renli in shock and woke up immediately. The broken silver was placed beside his palm, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After being silent for a long time, he raised his eyes and looked at Liu Renli.

"You are really an official?"

Eight or nine days passed in a flash.

Zhu Yunmo had to travel to the village every day, and even cleaned up the owner's garden and prepared to live there.

Zhou Heng saw that the weather was so cold, so he didn't say much, so he drew drawings and asked someone to build a floor kang inside the house.

This kang was learned by Zhou Heng when he was studying in the north. He paved the entire floor of the house into hollow, ignite the coal on one side, and the entire floor was hot.

It is equivalent to the current floor heating, but this is still very coal-saving, but it is a bit unecocious. However, there is no environmental protection department here, no one checks pm2.5.

He did it as soon as he wanted. Zhou Heng was only responsible for drawing pictures. Although Zhu Yunmo was the prince, he had no airs. He was very interested in such a novelty and led the guards to go.

Everyone in the village went to build roads. Some people from Lingshan Village and Huichuntang followed them to build workshops, while the other part also needed to ferment wine and dry medicinal materials. They could not draw anyone out to make a floor kang for him, so they had to find a way out for everything.

Zhou Heng drank tea and wrapped the newly made cloak tighter on his body. After Zhu Yunmo finished testing the floor kang, construction could be started here. Thanks to the fact that the state-owned coal of Daliang could be used, otherwise it would be a pity to burn charcoal to drive such a large kang.

The snow outside the window was still falling. It was considered that the snow had never stopped since they entered Beijing, but it was smaller in the middle, needless to say that this was the impact of the Little Ice Age.

Liu Renli went to Tongzhou without any information. He asked Pang Xiao to inquire. It is said that this person was going to take office at all.

Logically speaking, the work of investigating people's livelihood should be almost done. Even if you start as a corruption case, you can't go too far. You start igniting the fire when you come to the stage. It's almost the year. Isn't this a big mess?

Furthermore, where did people go? Is there an accident or what?

Looking back at the people who were answering the questions, his eyes fell on Liu Xiu'er. At this moment, Zhou Heng didn't dare to let Liu Xiu'er be idle at all. Once she was idle, she would ask herself about Liu Renli's situation, and always make excuses, and Zhou Heng couldn't stand it.

As if he felt Zhou Heng's gaze, Liu Xiuer and Chuntao looked up at Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng deliberately put his face in a stern face, holding a ruler in one hand and constantly slapped the other palm.

"Have you finished answering it? You have to check it carefully after writing it. If you have one wrong place, I will beat you up, beat you up two places, and so on. If you don't want your butt to bloom, check it carefully for me."

After saying this, everyone became nervous and quickly read it from beginning to end. Desheng got up first and handed the paper to Zhou Heng. The disciples who answered the questions all looked over nervously.

Zhou Heng looked at it and pointed to a place and said:

"What we deal with here cannot be said to be wrong. It is a bit cumbersome. If the time is extended, can the patient survive this time?"

Desheng looked at it, bowed and bowed, his face looked a little embarrassed, and he said modestly.

"What Master said is that I took it for granted."

Zhou Heng patted his shoulder and stuffed the ruler in his hand into Desheng's palm.

"It's already amazing to answer all of them. You can read their papers. If you are wrong, don't be lazy and you must be punished."

As he said that, Zhou Heng got up and walked out, leaving behind a group of disciples who answered the questions, all looking at Desheng with envy.

As soon as Zhou Heng left the room, he happened to see Zhu Yunmo walking in excitedly. Zhou Heng quickly met Zhu Yunmo and went to the side hall.

As soon as he sat down, Zhu Yunmo grabbed the kettle and poured two glasses of water. The cold tea water penetrated his throat. He had no complaints or dissatisfaction. Instead, he wiped his mouth and looked excited.

"Zhou Heng, you are so amazing. I tried this kang this morning. There was no smoke leak at all. Moreover, the whole house was warm. Even the two rooms that were not laid were very warm. I didn't sleep at all last night, so I slept on the ground."

Seeing Zhu Yunmo so excited, Zhou Heng looked behind Zhu Yunmo.

"Who made the floor kang? Could it be the guards and servants of the prince's mansion?"

Zhu Yunmo nodded, "Yes, the people in the village, as well as the people in Lingshan Village and Huichuntang are all busy. There is no way to do it, so why don't you believe it?"

At the end, the smile on Zhu Yunmo's face gradually disappeared. He grabbed Zhou Heng's wrist and wanted to grab Zhou Heng to test their results now.

"What's the problem? Let's go and have a look."

Zhou Heng waved his hand quickly and signaled Zhu Yunmo to stop.

"Don't be anxious, the prince is just doing an experiment now. If it works, we can change the houses in the prince's mansion."

Zhu Yunmo was stunned and instantly realized with a slap in his thigh.

"Yes, why am I worried about that house? I quickly find someone to empty my main house. I want to build a kang."

Zhou Heng grabbed Zhu Yunmo and knew that this guy could do everything, but he was too excited. A kang made him busy for many days. Now that he succeeded, he was about to change the prince's mansion. How could he do this?

"Don't be anxious about this matter. This kang will take several days to burn, and then see if it is prone to cracks, and then decide how to apply it. Besides, it is not that some houses need to be laid, such as some load-bearing locations under the cabinet, which can easily collapse if laid."

Zhu Yunmo nodded, "What you said makes sense. It seems that it is not realistic to lay the whole house. Let me think about how to lay it more reasonable. Anyway, I asked them to purchase a lot of coal."

Zhou Heng pulled Zhu Yunmo's arm and stopped the person who was about to run away.

"Criminal, don't hurry to leave. It's been seven or eight days since Lord Liu went to Tongzhou. As he was about to take office, the people sent to inquire were not found. I'm afraid that Lord Liu would encounter any accidents. If he couldn't take office on time, the emperor wouldn't be able to explain it."

Zhu Yunmo nodded, "That's right, it seems that it's the end of the month. Where has Liu Renli been?"

Zhou Heng bowed to Zhu Yunmo, "Criminal, why don't you watch the construction here first? I'll take someone to see it, otherwise I really don't know how to face Xiu'er."

Zhu Yunmo's face instantly smiled and looked at Zhou Heng treacherously.
