Early in the morning, the donkey cart carrying melons, fruits, and vegetables to Jiafu stopped at the west corner gate of Rongguo Mansion, and before dawn, the door of the house was not opened, and the delivery handle went down to knock on the door, and the door at the gate of the house did not answer, and the dog barked. When the door came out and saw that it was a familiar way of delivering vegetables and fruits, he let the corner door open a door, and let the handle unload the things on the car at the door, and a few sturdy people came out of the door, and moved the things in after a while. It was always the same, and everyone didn't pay much attention to it.

When the driver unloaded a basket of vegetables, and when he moved the second basket, he was stunned, rubbed his eyes, why was there an extra letter on this basket of fruits? Although the style is said to be a basket of big characters, but this Jia character is still recognized, after all, every day to send food to the house, the monthly settlement of the list of Jiafu family Ding always have to sign a Jiafu to receive the words. He held the letter up and asked Menzi, who pinched the letter and looked at it, but was stunned. After all, the steward has been explaining every day these days, and if someone wants to send a letter to the house, he must leave the letter with the person to ask the master. Menzi didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly let the two people who delivered the food into the ear room, poured tea, turned around and went out and secretly instructed people to take care of these two people, don't let them go, and hurriedly went to the housekeeper with the letter. The housekeeper didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and trotted all the way to find Jia Yu.

At this time, Jia Yu had just gotten up, and Jia Hu fainted in the house yesterday, and he was upset and pondered about the events of the past few days, and he couldn't sleep. But today, I decided to go to Wang Ziteng to find out if there were any new clues, so I ate a snack. Then he heard the steward come in a hurry to report that he had received a letter.

Jia Yu dusted his hands in a panic and hurriedly took the letter. The envelope reads: Jia Yu personally opened. Jia Yu nodded, this handwriting should be from Jia Zheng's hand. Hurriedly took out the letter bag and looked at it, there was only one page in it, and there was no one sentence before or after: On the eighth day of the fifth month, send 50,000 taels of silver to the Yunda Inn in Jizhou Mansion and the Thai room. Jia Yu pinched the page and looked it up and down several times, slapped the table and said, "Has the person who delivered the letter ever detained? ”

The steward nodded again and again, and hurriedly asked people to bring the two stewards who delivered melons and vegetables. The way to deliver food was scared, and it has been many years since I delivered food to the house, and it was the first time I encountered this, but where did I dare to ask anything, I was scared all the way. As soon as the two of them saw Jia Yu, they both knelt down, hanging their heads and not daring to look at Jia Yu.

"You two sent the letter?"

Look at me, look at you, and shake your head.

"Who told you to send it?

The two then shook their heads.

"How did you put the letter on the basket?"

The two handles still shook their heads. Indeed, I didn't see how this letter suddenly appeared.

The two replied that Jia Yu was so angry that he was angry. I don't know. Jia Yu shook the letter and asked, "Then did you encounter anything along the way, someone stopped the car or something." These words reminded the formula, and he nodded hurriedly: "When the master said this, I remembered it." When I was about to get to the gate of the house, I met a man who asked me if I could sell the fruit and vegetables, and I ignored him and drove him away. ”

Jia Yu nodded, it was very possible to infer this way, if he could find the person who sent the letter, maybe there would be a clue, so he continued to ask: "What does that person look like and how is he dressed?"

Scratching his head: "That man looks at him and dresses up hard, with short clothes and short shirts." As for the appearance, I didn't see it when it was dark,"

This is the same as not saying it, Jia Yu took a breath, sent someone down first, and took the letter to find Jia's mother.

Shi Fei'er looked at this letter with no beginning or end and only one sentence, which is also the category, today is the third day of the fifth month, and it will take four days to go to Jizhou to get there, and the people have already been prepared, as long as the silver is out of the house, then it will be led by the nose and left. Besides, there is no news about Jia Zheng in this letter. This money is given, and I am afraid that I will not be able to save people for a while. Moreover, the first letter asked for a million, but this letter only cost 50,000 taels, so it seems that this time it is used to explore the bottom of Jiafu. Shi Fei'er didn't feel sorry for money, but she just felt that once such a thing was opened, I was afraid that there would be no end in the future. In all fairness, I don't like Jia Zheng much, but it's just that in the way of my grandchildren, this Yuanchun is about to get married, so I can't ignore the bad news before marriage. Besides, yesterday Jia Hu vomited blood and fainted because of the sudden death of his husband, not to mention that this is still Yuan Chun's father.

Shi Fei'er pinched the letter and pondered the countermeasures in her heart. Jia Yu looked at Jia's mother and frowned, he was also worried, he got the letter today, will he go to Wang Ziteng for a while, or will he go to Jizhou with the silver?

The two of them sat silently like this, and when everyone in the room saw that neither of them spoke, naturally no one dared to speak, and the room was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling on the ground. Everyone was holding their breath, and the porch suddenly became lively, and they heard someone crying outside the house, Shi Fei'er couldn't help but smile bitterly, this Mrs. Wang cried wherever she went, it must be that the letter came.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang entered the house, and sure enough, she looked sad, and after a little courtesy, she asked, "But there is a letter?" Shi Fei'er also knew that this matter could not be hidden, so she gave the letter to Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang hurriedly picked it up, and after reading it, she said, "Old lady, without further ado, let's arrange for someone to send the silver over now." There is no delay in this matter. ”

Shi Fei'er nodded and said, "What you said is that you let Zhu'er pack up, and when she is loaded into the carriage, she will set off." Mrs. Wang nodded again and again, and hurriedly went out to make arrangements.

Jia Yu looked at it, opened his mouth, and saw that Jia's mother had lost a look at herself, so she stopped, and when Mrs. Wang left, Jia Yu said, "The old lady might as well go with me." Shi Fei'er shook her head and asked, "How many people have taken this letter?" Jia Yu was suddenly asked, and thought for a while: "There are about seven or eight people." ”

Shi Fei'er nodded, and asked again: "Among the dogs we transferred, are there any who are good at finding things? Why don't you let them smell and try it?" Jia Yu patted his thigh and said, "I forgot about this in a hurry." Among these dogs, I heard that one of them is very spiritual, and he can find anything lost in the soap field, so I will let people take it to try. Needless to say, after a while, a steward came with a man leading the dog. This dog is majestic, and his eyes are quite bright. Jia Yu naturally couldn't explain everything to the dog, but told him that he heard that the dog was quite spiritual and could help find things, but he didn't know if it was true or not, and he wanted to see and see, if he could really do it, he would be rewarded. The person who led the dog was naturally full of praise. Jia Yu ordered the people who had just touched the letter to call the steward, and asked Jia's mother to call in the maids and women in the yard, and it happened that Mrs. Wang had finished arranging, and came over to ask about the loading of the silver, and came to tell Jia's mother that she wanted to go to Jizhou with Jia Zhu. For a while, the room was overcrowded, but all the people in the house who had touched the letter were all there.

Except for Shi Fei'er, Jia Yu didn't know what Jia Yu was going to do, so he only heard Jia Yu put the letter back in the envelope and handed it to the person who led the dog and said, "Let this dog find us in this house, everyone has touched this letter, if you can find it, you will be rewarded." The dog patted his chest and boasted: "This little thing is not a problem." As he spoke, he took the letter, pinched the corner of it, put it to the dog's nose and sniffed it, held the dog in his hand, and muttered something to his ear. And suddenly the dog's eyes lit up. The man who led the dog said, "Find." And the dog no longer lay on the ground, sniffing and sniffing, and whoever touched the letter, the dog opened its mouth and took the corner of the man's garment. The dog led the dog, for fear that the dog would collide with someone, but it was fast, and in a blink of an eye, he found out all the people in the house who had touched the letter. When everyone saw it, they were amazed and amazed. It's just that the dog finished looking for the people in the house, and always wanted to go out, and the person who led the dog looked at it and said, "Master, I'm afraid that there are not all people in this house, and this dog wants to go outside to find it." ”

When Jia Yu heard this, he was overjoyed, and nodded again and again, "Follow this dog, see how capable it is today, if you can really find people, this master will be rewarded today." The dog leader was naturally happy when he heard it, and then went out with the dog's temperament, and Jia Yu ordered a few stewards to follow with a few sturdy family members, and if he really found someone, he first tried to bring the person back to the house to ask. The crowd chased the dog out of the house.

There are two flowers, one on each branch. Jia Fuzhong didn't mention how the situation was, just said that Xing Huang saw that the letter entered the mansion, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and his task was successfully completed. However, after the letter was delivered, Xing Huang did not leave the capital immediately as he had explained. Xing Huang felt a little Jiujiu in his heart at this time, with so much silver, what if he left and they didn't share it with him? Wouldn't he have worked hard in vain. The more Xing Huang pondered, the more he felt that he couldn't just be obedient and went to the inn to wait. Anyway, Jiafu should send the silver out, otherwise he will guard it and follow from afar, anyway, these people will collect the money, so that he will feel more at ease. Thinking so, Xing Huang made up his mind, and waited for Jiafu to send the silver, and then followed by himself.

I didn't sleep all night yesterday, I got up early today, and after tossing for a long time, Xing Huang felt sleepy and hungry, and it happened that the wonton stall that he always stayed in on weekdays came out, so Xing Huang sat down, planning to eat a full meal first, and then go back to the inn to sleep well. This fearful day is coming to an end. Xing Huang ate two bowls of wontons, stuffed another basket of steamed buns, and his stomach was round. I touched a few money from my bosom and paid the bill, stretched my waist, and planned to get up and go back to the inn.

As soon as he turned around, he was dumbfounded, and a circle of tall and mighty men stood behind him, and when he looked down, he saw a big dog holding the corner of his clothes. Xing Huang was a little panicked, and before he could speak, the two men grabbed the person left and right, and the steward led by him said: "How boring it is to eat this, I have come all the way to the mansion to have a good meal." 166 Reading Network
