Chapter 581: Shuntian Prefecture Office Cleanup
As the servants had already been sent out, there was no one left in the hall to serve, so Leng Rongyue stood up herself, opened another food box, and took out all the dumplings inside.
After the novelty of tasting the new and delicious food wore off, people began to chew their food slowly. At the table, there was no rule of "no talking while eating". The family sat together, talking about the delicious dumplings and chatting about family matters.
The dinner ended happily. Leng Rongyue first put all the plates of dumplings into the food box, and then put them back into the space.
Although I am not afraid of the servants arousing suspicion, there is really no need to arouse the suspicion of those who have ulterior motives.
After all, with so many extra plates appearing all of a sudden, the servants would inevitably think too much.
Second Madam Zheng Suyao called the servants in, took away all the leftovers, dishes and bowls on the table, and wiped the table clean.
Still without leaving any servants to serve in the hall, the first and second wives personally made fragrant tea with boiling water on a small clay stove and poured it for their parents-in-law and their husbands.
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Leng Rongyue stretched out her little hand and blinked... no... before anyone could even blink, a large plate of bright red fruits appeared in Leng Rongyue's hand.
Leng Rongyue smiled and placed the plate of fruit on the table;
Amidst everyone's surprised gaze, suddenly, a plate of red fruits appeared in Leng Rongyue's hand.
This time the fruits are bigger, and still look so bright and juicy, with such attractive colors.
"Grandpa, grandma, uncles, aunts, brothers, this dish is called cherries, but there are two kinds... one is white cherry and the other is red cherry. They are sweet and slightly sour, and very delicious.
This plate of fruit is called strawberry, and it is delicious, come and try it!"
As for why Leng Rongyue didn't bring out cherries and strawberries before...
That's not because Leng Rongyue is stingy.
These cherries and strawberries were not from the refrigerator, but from the cherry trees that Grandpa had planted for his granddaughter in the open space behind his small building.
In addition, dozens of rows of strawberries were planted under the cherry trees.
Now, in space, everything has matured.
Leng Rongyue brought out four more plates of dried fruits.
Cashews, pistachios, cracked pine nuts, and a plate of pumpkin seeds.”
"Eating dried fruits and drinking tea is the most comfortable thing!"
Apart from pumpkin seeds and pine nuts, cashews and pistachios are not available here.
Cherries and strawberries were not even available in this dynasty.
As they watched in wonder, everyone reached out to pick up the cherries and strawberries and put them in their mouths...
The sweet and slightly sour taste instantly explodes between your lips and teeth!
That taste... is simply the ultimate enjoyment!
Eating fruit can make people feel happy both physically and mentally.
At this point, the heavy gloom of today has been temporarily dispelled.
Eating fruits, occasionally tasting nuts, and drinking tea, the whole family sits around the table. The happy atmosphere makes people immersed in it and enjoy it!
In this atmosphere, everyone seemed to be deliberately avoiding certain heavy topics;
We also intentionally avoid touching the hidden pain in everyone's hearts.
Just waiting quietly...
Quietly waiting for what they want to see most - the final end of their enemy!
Shuntian government office.
At this time, Zheng Tong, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, was still busy working in the court under the light of a lamp.
The prefect is still working in the government office, and it is naturally impossible for the secretaries, chief clerks, clerks, and captains of police to go back and rest when it is time to leave their jobs.
Although the trial of the case has ended, a series of follow-up matters still need to be carefully sorted out.
At this time, the account books of Fu Baozhen's shops, farms and other properties;
The Yin family's real estate title deeds;
The title deed to Luo Yun’s old house;
The fines paid by the Gao, Zhao, Wei, and Deng families;
As well as the house deeds and land deeds that were used to offset the shortage of cash, they were already placed on the desk in front of the prefect Zheng Tong.
These companies were quite obedient, paid their fines promptly and behaved honestly.
I think they wouldn't dare to be dishonest!
The Duke of Anguo's Mansion clearly and openly revealed that it was the backer of the Luo family!
Even if they dared to ignore the Luo family and other victims with their small family property and low official positions;
Even if they don't even take me, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, seriously...
They dare not ignore the Anguo Mansion!
Now, the Shuntian Prefecture Government needs to come up with a conclusion as soon as possible:
How to convert several houses, land and shops into cash?
How should compensation be paid to the victims?
How much compensation?
All of these need to be sorted out as quickly as possible and the final results come out.
Let’s not talk about the fact that the case being tried today is a public trial;
The plaintiff was the dignified Duke Anguo;
The Emperor, the Empress, and Prince Yu all came to the Shuntian Prefecture to watch the trial...
It can be seen how much importance the Emperor, Empress and His Royal Highness Prince Yu attach to this matter!
How could the presiding official, Zheng Tong, the governor, not feel under tremendous pressure!
How dare he slack off in the slightest!
How dare I not give my all!
On the desks of the prefect Zheng Tong and his men were spread out relevant files, petitions, confessions, various account books, deeds...
Everyone was working at their desks under the lamp.
Even dinner was just a few buns and a bowl of water.
Prefect Zheng Tong has issued a strict order:
Be sure to complete all the follow-up work overnight.
Tomorrow morning, the Shuntian Prefecture Government must send the case files to the Ministry of Justice.
Fu Yinglan, the eldest master of the Anguo Mansion, is the Minister of Justice. Although he is a party to this case, he needs to recuse himself during the trial of the case and the review of the case by the Ministry of Justice.
But even if Fu Yinglan, the Minister of Justice, avoided it, what about the Vice Minister of Justice?
What about the Yuwenlang and all the staff of the Ministry of Justice?
Which one of them dares to take a lax attitude towards this matter?
I believe that the approval document from the Ministry of Justice will be sent back soon.
If the Shuntian Prefecture Court’s trial files are not delivered to the Ministry of Justice in the morning…
As the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, my life probably won’t be easy.
Rather than being reprimanded and urged by superiors, it is better to “work hard without being urged”!
