Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

"Fifth sister, in the morning, all the shopkeepers came to the county government office to report the fake money. The county magistrate handed over the case to me for investigation, but..." Chu Xujin scratched his head in embarrassment, pursed his smiling lips slightly, and looked extremely distressed, "I have no clue..."

Chu Qingzhi came over for a while before speaking, "Is there a fake banknote?"

Chu Xujin said hastily, "Yes, I asked the shopkeepers to record the fake banknotes. Now tens of thousands of fake banknotes have been received."

Chu Qingzhi nodded and said, "You can start with the bank notes."

"First, paper is needed to produce banknotes, and paper to produce banknotes needs specific trees. Where does this tree come from? Which workshop produces it? Or who is cutting down those trees in large numbers?"

"Second, ink is needed to print counterfeit bank notes. Which workshop does the ink come from? Who is buying it? However, there is probably no record on the store's books, which requires you to follow secretly. No matter how open-minded people are, they will look different from those who do business seriously. You need to distinguish carefully."

"Third, the location where the counterfeit bank notes are produced is likely to be in a hidden location. You can see where people are unlikely to come and go, but there are many people coming and going. There must be a problem with this place."

"Fourth, the printing tools are made of iron. There must be a smithy helping them in the dark. After the work is done, they may be rewarded heavily, and they may kill people. For this, we need to find out which smithy suddenly became rich, or which smithy had an accident."

"Fifth, offer a reward. The common people's eyes are discerning. Let the common people report anyone who is acting suspiciously. If they work together, they may achieve their goals."

Chu Xujin's eyes brightened the more he heard it, and he felt more and more stupid, "Fifth sister, it sounds so simple, why didn't I think of it?"

Chu Qingzhi comforted, "You don't have enough experience, just handle more cases in the future."

Chu Xujin secretly cheered herself up, "Fifth sister, I will work hard, and I will definitely not let you down."

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, "I look forward to the day when my third brother becomes a detective."

Chu Xujin raised his lips with a smile, "I'm going to handle the case, and I'll ask you for a reward when the time comes."

"good."

Chu Xujin walked quickly to the yard, and excitedly told everyone what Chu Qingzhi said just now.

After hearing this, everyone suddenly became enlightened. While secretly admiring Chu Qingzhi, they immediately went back to the county government office to start the layout investigation.

...

At ten o'clock in the evening, the master host followed Chu Qingning to Chu's Village to pick up his children.

The presiding master wore a simple monk's robe, held a rosary in his hand, and put his palm on his chest. No matter whether he walked fast or slow, he looked very calm, with the demeanor of an eminent monk.

The little monk didn't know that the host master came to pick him up. At this moment, he was eating an orange juice flavored sorbet, sitting on the swing, watching Chu Qingyan make up for Chu Hongxiu.

Chu Hongxiu's three little friends are now completely reduced to Chu Qingyan's tools for practicing, but Chu Qingyan is very loyal, as long as she cooperates with her makeup, each will give ten cents a day.

The children in the village need to work, especially the girls. When they have money to take home, their parents immediately ask them to fully cooperate with Chu Qingyan, and they don't have to do anything.

Sometimes money really comes in handy.

The host master was surrounded by villagers as soon as he entered the village.

"Master, are you here for alms?"

"Master, my son is planning to get married, can you show me a good day?"

"Master, my family is going to build a house, can you help my family see a good day?"

Masters are not common. When you go to a temple to worship Buddha, you can only see ordinary monks. It is basically impossible to see a master. Now that one has finally come, how can you let it go?

…The eminent monk has a pleasant expression and a soft and light body. You can tell whether he is an eminent monk by his walking posture.

Chu Qingning felt that this was not good, and said, "Calm down, everyone. The master is here to find the young apprentice. He wants the master to take care of the matter. Let's let the master see the young apprentice first, okay?"

At this time someone said, "Little apprentice? Is it the little master? He is in the swing pavilion at your house."

Chu Qingning immediately led the master host to the swing pavilion.

As soon as the host master walked into the yard, he saw his little apprentice was living a good life, holding ice cream in his hand, gently shaking the swing, smiling with a small face, leisurely.

The host master said softly, "Jingchen."

When the little monk heard his Dharma name, he looked over subconsciously. When he saw the presiding master, he was taken aback for a moment, and then ran over quickly, "Master!"

The host master looked at the little apprentice, his eyes were bright, his mouth was red from eating ice cream, and his face was happy, "Have you forgotten Master?"

"I don't dare." The little monk quickly admitted his mistake, he thought it was too much fun, and forgot the time for a while.

The presiding master said, "Go and bid farewell to benefactor Chu, we should go."

The brilliance in the little monk's eyes suddenly dimmed, and the ice cream in his hand was no longer sweet, he lowered his head, "Oh~"

Seeing the little monk's reaction, the host master softened his heart, "Master Chu invited us to visit our house tomorrow, have you forgotten?"

The little monk came back to life on the spot, and said excitedly, "I remembered, Master, I will go to the benefactor Chu to say goodbye immediately, and come back tomorrow."

The host master smiled slightly, "Go, master is waiting for you at the gate of the yard."

The little monk nodded straight, "Yeah."

...

Chu Qingzhi talked to Chu Xuhua about selling soybean paste in the old house, and when she rolled her eyes, she saw the little monk running in cheerfully, "Benefactor Chu, I'm leaving."

Chu Qingzhi was puzzled, "Where are you going?"

The little monk's soft voice was full of reluctance, "Master has come to pick me up, let's go to the county seat, and I will come to see you again tomorrow."

Chu Qingzhi walked towards the little monk, "I'll take you to Master."

"Um."

Chu Qingzhi sent the little monk to the gate of the courtyard, "Master."

The host made a bow to Chu Qingzhi, "Thank you benefactor Chu for taking care of Jingchen, I'm here to pick him up to the county seat."

"Wait a minute." Chu Qingzhi went to the house and took a chestnut pie wrapped in oil paper and handed it to the little monk, "This is a chestnut pie, a vegetarian recipe, take it home and eat it."

The little monk raised his face to look at the presiding master.

The host master couldn't refuse the little elk-like eyes of his little apprentice, and made another bow to Chu Qingzhi, "Thank you, benefactor Chu, Jingchen, thank you."

The little monk bowed in a dignified manner, smiled and said, "Thank you, benefactor Chu."

"Hey, take your time and come early tomorrow." Chu Qingzhi not only invited two monks, one old and one young, but also Fan Yuru and Rong Shiyu. In the future, Chu Qingyue will marry into the capital. If there are two daughters to take care of her, no one will dare to bully Chu Qingyue.

Seeing that the villagers were still waiting around, the host master said, "Tomorrow, I will come to Chu's Village again. If there is any problem, we will solve it together at that time."

Hearing what the host master said, the villagers obediently moved out of the way and let them go.

The little monk is holding a chestnut pie, followed by Xiao Suibu, with a little bald head, a little monk's clothes, a chubby little body, and a naive look, which looks really cute.
