744. Thorough investigation
Zongzheng Temple got the order of Emperor Yao, did not dare to slack off, sent a special team to deal with this matter, a wave of people went to the Zhenguo Mansion to condole and persuade, a wave of people went to the Pingguo Mansion to enlighten, and a wave of people went to the Great Compassion Temple to thoroughly investigate the fire.
This thorough investigation found out that something had happened, although the Great Compassion Temple was a Buddhist gate, but how many of the monks were really empty?
Now the old lady Song quit, and the 80,000 taels of silver were burned down in such a fire, and no one could stand it, so she had to give an explanation to the Great Compassion Temple, otherwise she would have to compensate.
Now that the culprit of arson has been found, when the Zhenguo Mansion came to ask for the 80,000 taels of silver again, the old lady couldn't help but return it, and only held on to the Dabei Temple.
When Zongzheng Temple thoroughly investigated the scene of the fire, he picked up a fragment of a coffin that had not been burned, and found that it was made of cedar wood, and some finger-thick iron plates came out of nowhere, and the monk who set the fire also confessed that the person who bought him to set the fire left in a carriage engraved with the emblem of the Pingguo Gongfu.
The Great Compassion Temple used this as an excuse to countersue the Pingguo Mansion for blackmailing the Buddhist Temple with a fake Nanmu coffin, but the old lady Song thought that this was a trick played by the Great Compassion Temple in order not to compensate herself, but thought that the Great Compassion Temple secretly sold her own wood, and now she saw that she had resold the wood, and she was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so she burned it on fire, and in turn blamed herself.
The two sides insisted on their own words, but there was a testimony in the Great Compassion Temple, and the old lady was angry and found the family who sold Nanmu to herself, and wanted others to prove to her that she was indeed buying Nanmu, but the family made her dumbfounded, "When did you buy my wood?
Old Madam Song reacted in shock that Zhan took 50,000 taels of silver from herself, but instead of buying wood, she made a fir to fool herself, and angrily called Zhan to ask her, "What about the wood I asked you to buy in the first place?"
Zhan didn't know that the old lady had already found the seller to confront him, and said with a look of regret, "Hasn't it been burned by fire?"
"It was the fir wood that was burned by the fire, but it was not the nanmu I was going to buy!" the old lady's voice was deep, and she was about to burst out with anger.
Seeing that the old lady already knew that the coffin that was burned in the Great Compassion Temple was made of fir wood, Zhan Shi was a little flustered, and his mind was racing to find a countermeasure, while hugging, "Mother, what my daughter-in-law bought at the beginning was indeed Nanmu!"
"You're still full of lies! I've been to ask the Zhao family, and she said I didn't buy her wood at all!"
Zhan Shi was even more panicked, but he already had a countermeasure, and hurriedly cried and complained, "Mother Mingjian, the daughter-in-law's is indeed the Nanmu that you bought, and it is indeed the piece that your mother has a fancy for! It's just because the daughter-in-law found out that the wood is actually from another family, and the Zhao family is only helping to sell it, so the daughter-in-law found the real master's family, and she was afraid that her mother would be worried, so she didn't tell her mother, and she didn't want to let her mother misunderstand, it was all the daughter-in-law's fault, and I asked my mother to calm her anger!"
Because of the filial piety and courtesy that Zhan has always shown, there is nothing wrong with it, and listening to Zhan's explanation, the old lady didn't know which was true or false for a while.
Seeing this, Zhan Shi explained again, "Because the wood is from the clan, I told my daughter-in-law not to make a noise, and my daughter-in-law is in line with the idea that more is better than less, as long as she buys wood, she will hide it from your mother!"
"So you're hiding it from me or for my sake?" the old lady said with resentment, but she had obviously put out her anger.
Zhan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and didn't answer the old lady's question directly, but only made a strong compensation, "It's all the daughter-in-law's fault, it's the daughter-in-law who made her own opinion!" Seeing that the old lady's face eased a lot, Zhan Shi took the measure and said slowly, "This matter must be the self-theft of the guards of the Great Compassion Temple, and the thief shouts to catch the thief, he must not only steal and change the things of our family, it is better to call other families to take a look, and see that the things are still not their own, if not, they will take the evidence!"
As soon as the old lady heard it, she immediately wanted to contact other people's homes to go to the Great Compassion Temple to find out, Zhan's body and mind were exhausted and quietly retreated, and when she returned to the courtyard, she saw Pingping kneeling in the middle of the courtyard crying, and surrounded a circle of girls to persuade her, but she just cried, and never refused to get up, seeing Zhan's, crying even more sadly, "Mrs. ......"
Zhan still remembered something in his heart, and didn't want to entangle with Pingping more, so he asked with a calm face, "What's the matter?"
Pingping had to quickly get up and wipe her tears and follow Zhan in, and when she arrived, Zhan was changing her homely clothes, Pingping was busy to help, but Zhan pushed her away a little impatiently, Zhan had never been so to Pingping, and both of them were stunned.
Pingping's heart was full of bitterness, when she first came to the fourth room, Mrs. didn't even say anything serious to her, even the third young grandmother had to let herself, but since she slipped the fetus, Mrs.'s attitude towards herself has changed greatly, and she was a little pity at the beginning, but now she is only cold.
Zhan's was in a bad mood because he had accumulated a lot of thoughts at the old lady's place, and he didn't deliberately target Pingping, seeing Pingping's panicked look, he softened his tone and said, "I don't need you to serve here, I have something to do later, if you have anything to say, don't I take care of you when I get busy later!"
Although Zhan's tone was soft, but in Pingping's ears, she felt that what she meant was that if she didn't have anything important, don't bother her, she still had a lot of serious things to do.
In this way, Pingping couldn't help but hesitate, and couldn't say anything after saving her stomach, and stood there with her head down and her hands and feet shrunk.
Zhan Shi changed his clothes and didn't see Pingping speak, so he asked her again, "What's wrong? Is someone bullying you? Is it Rongrong again?"
Since Rong Rong entered the fourth room, Pingping has been extremely uncomfortable, the relationship between the two is actually quite good, but there are many things in between, and now they are serving the same man together, it is inevitable that there will be some mismatches, and it has not been long before the rumors that the two are not compatible Zhan has heard it several times.
“…… No!" Pingping opened her mouth, and the "yes" that came to her lips was "yes" when she saw the impatient look on Zhan's face, and then rolled back into her throat and rolled a few times into "no".
"What's going on with that?" Although Zhan's tone was still soft, the expression on his face became more and more unbearable.
Pingping said in a low voice, "The slave and maid are out of tune, and I want to ask a doctor to take a look, but the slave and maid are subordinates, and they are not qualified to ......."
This is not a big deal, Zhan immediately agreed, "Go back and let the third young grandmother invite a doctor for you, you go down first!"
Seeing Zhan's waving his hand like a fly to send herself, Pingping suddenly felt aggrieved for herself, she was obviously the one who asked her to come to the fourth room, but now she doesn't care whether she lives or dies, and sure enough, in the eyes of the fourth lady, women who can't give birth to children are useless!
