After traveling through time, she still led the villagers to make money as a county magistrate

Chapter 72 Charcoal

Gu Rujun took the pen and wrote the three words "Xiao Yu'er" on the paper. "Although it's not as beautiful as writing with a brush, it's smooth and convenient."

For Gu Yu, who didn't like writing but had to, it was a great help.

"Can you make me a few of these pens? Or you can teach me and I can make them myself!"

Seeing that her things were about to be taken away by her brother, Gu Niannian smiled instead of getting angry, "Brother, you want to give them to this person, right?"

Gu Niannian pointed at the three words "Xiao Yu'er" on the paper and giggled.

Gu Rujun choked her and said, "Let's talk business."

"It's you who's not talking about business, okay?" Gu muttered softly.

Gu Rujun pretended not to hear, "Huh?"

Gu Niannian then wrote on the paper the names of He Feng, He Xiaoqian, Mr. Zhou, her two sons from the Zhou family, and the names of the female victims related to the case.

He Feng, He Xiaoqian and Mr. Zhou were connected by a line segment, and the relationship between the three was written on the line segment. The same method was used for the other people. With this drawing, Gu Rujun could clearly see the relationship between the key figures in the case.

In less than half an hour, Gu Niannian explained the entire development of the case clearly.

Gu Niannian learned this technique while watching criminal investigation films. She really likes watching the plot of solving a case. Every time she sees the course of a case, she will first use her own reasoning and judgment to find the real murderer, and she is very accurate every time. It can be said that she is right nine times out of ten.

Every time she found the murderer, she would sigh, "The police station is really losing out without someone like her."

"Oh, by the way, He Feng and Wu Jianmin should have a vested interest in each other."

"Also, the Zhou family must be investigated. I don't know for what reason. If a case from more than ten years ago is brought up again, I don't know if they will cooperate." There was a reason why Gu Niannian hadn't ordered the Zhou family to come to court for so long.

Another reason is that if the Zhou family is found to have committed murder, the imperial merchant plan will definitely be ruined."

Gu Rujun slowly poured a cup of tea for her sister, "After talking so much, you must be thirsty!"

"Oh, a nerd can also care about others," Gu Niannian teased

Gu Rujun didn't respond to her words, but replied, "First, this is a murder case. No matter how many years have passed, it is a living life. He will come even if he doesn't want to.

Secondly, regarding the matter of the imperial merchant, there is no word on the matter. As for the money, let your father take as much as he can. If he can't get it back, it will be a lesson to him and let him taste the feeling of being penniless."

Gu Rujun spoke slowly and steadily, but there was a sense of reassurance in her voice.

"When will Sister Gu Yu come in?" Gu Niannian asked for no reason after taking a sip of water.

Gu Rujun, who had just taken a sip of water, swished it around in his mouth before spitting it out. He took out a handkerchief to wipe it. "What... nonsense are you talking about?"

"I was wondering how you figured her out. She gave you the medicine twice, so it's impossible for her to remember."

Gu Niannian chuckled, "She was exposed the first time. How could a thief be so kind as to prescribe medicine for you? I asked the doctor, and although he didn't know what the medicine was for, it contained several herbs related to treating heart disease."

"Many people knew I had a heart disease, but not many would prescribe this medicine. I suspected she might have some connection with my brother."

"The second time, I didn't prepare anything, but I hid the medicine under my tongue. She didn't check it, so I pretended to faint. This time, I remembered everything."

"I also know that those secret guards are related to her. If a woman like my mother suddenly has the means to buy secret guards, who would believe it? It is most likely that she planted them next to me. Since she is in the same group with my brother, she is here to protect me. I am also investigating this case for my brother, so I will let the secret guards tip off! Isn't this how the thief is caught?" Gu Niannian deliberately said it lightly, and Gu Rujun naturally understood the danger.

He looked at his sister distressedly and said, "Don't take risks next time. You can't be so lucky every time."

"Now that my brother is back, do I still need to take risks?" Gu Niannian said coquettishly.

"Today, County Magistrate Wu wanted to take off my clothes for a body inspection. Luckily, I brought the Magistrate out."

"what!"

"He is so bold!" Gu Rujun's eyes turned red with anger.

Gu Niannian had no brother in her previous life and had never felt the feeling of having a brother. Now that someone suddenly spoke for her like this, she felt warm in her heart.

It feels good to have someone to rely on. Gu Niannian couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't worry about what happens next, my brother will take care of it."

"Brother, has your heart disease been cured?" Gu Niannian asked her question.

Only three of the originally agreed five years have passed.

"You're almost fully recovered. Xiaoyuer came to see you that day to check your heart disease. I didn't expect you to be fully recovered already."

The drowsy medicine is a good remedy for treating heart disease, so when Gu Yu came for the second time, Gu Nian Nian was well prepared.

"It's just that this official uniform was altered to my own size."

Gu Rujun's face is still the same these past few years, but he looks more mature and taller. It's still a little small for Gu Niannian's official uniform, but the official uniform is loose, so he can fit into it."

Gu Rujun looked at the short part of the sleeve and said, "Let's leave it like this for now! We'll fix it tomorrow."

Looking at her brother who was half a head taller than her, Gu Niannian was in a dilemma. "How am I going to explain it to the government office tomorrow? I can't possibly say I grew 20 centimeters in one day."

Gu Rujun took a sip of tea and said, "Why not?"

"What! Is that really the explanation?"

Gu Rujun nodded solemnly, "That's what I planned."

Gu Niannian held her forehead with her hand. This brother didn't seem very reliable either! However, the matter was done and it had to be this way. There was no better way.

……

In the court, the bailiffs looked at the county magistrate in front of them. He was a little taller than yesterday and had a green stubble on his face. His face was still the same, but he felt something was different. He fell into deep self-doubt and rubbed his eyes.

I whispered to my colleague, "Is there something different about the county magistrate today?"

"Maybe I grew taller overnight. My mom said some people grow taller secretly at night." Zhou Mi lied with his eyes open.

"Oh, yes, that's what my mother told me too. She told me not to stay up late at night and to sleep well so that I can grow taller."

"You? You're already thirty, and you can still grow taller?" Zhou Mi glanced at him in disbelief.

Gu Rujun slammed the gavel and said, "Come here, bring the prisoner up!"

"And Mr. Zhou will also bring it."

"Is the Zhou family also involved in this case?" The bailiffs all looked at Zhou Mi.

"Zhou Mi, since you are relatives, you should bring someone here so that he can accept it more easily."

Wu Jianmin's heart was beating fast when he heard this. "It's inappropriate for the Master to call the Zhou family over at this time! After all, there's no evidence..."
