Chapter 102: The Man Behind It

That's right, Liu Ruoxi nodded. She and Mrs. Liu are not as important as Mrs. Liu's third wife, who regards the power of stewardship as much. Despite this, she still proposed that Mrs. Liu be involved in the management, in order to weaken the power of Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma in the Liu Mansion.

If Mrs. Liu and Grandma Liu can no longer take care of so many things, the number of people under them will definitely decrease. In this mansion, if they want to call for wind and rain and do whatever they want, it will be impossible. Moreover, with the housekeeping of Mrs. Liu Second and Mrs. Liu's third wife, it is bound to gather some subordinates. Then, no matter how much Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma move, they can't hide the eyes here.

"This time or twice, it's time to learn some lessons. Seeing that we are all in charge of things anymore, what is in her heart in the future, she should think about it before she wants to do it. Mrs. Liu said. If Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma can do less wrong and bad things because of this, Mrs. Liu thinks it will be a very good thing.

"People say that you are a bodhisattva, and they are really right." Mrs. Liu San said, "What you think is good, but those people are afraid that they will live up to your kindness." If they still have a conscience, why would they do these things? ”

was said by Mrs. Liu San, Mrs. Liu Second thought about it, although she was reluctant, she still had to admit that what Mrs. Liu San said was reasonable.

"It's too vicious." Mrs. Liu said. As soon as they make a move, they will take their lives, not to mention the viciousness.

"It's always been like this, and there are more dead ghosts in their hands. It's ridiculous, let's have a few concubines, but she still has a reputation for being virtuous. Mrs. Liu San said.

After complaining for a while, Mrs. Liu turned to the housekeeper's business.

"I've sent someone to ask for a roster, and in a moment I'll call all the people in the kitchen, and they'll be all in the kitchen tomorrow." Mrs. Liu San was full of ambition.

"Auntie, I said something that I don't like." Seeing Mrs. Liu San like this, Liu Ruoxi said with a smile. "I also agree with my aunt to take care of the kitchen. It's just that this time, I also ask my aunt to be a little ...... Slow down, don't forget the last time. ”

"That's a good word, I'm awake." Mrs. Liu San looked at Liu Ruoxi with admiration, "This time the kitchen is serious in our hands, unlike last time, I will slowly recuperate." ”

When Liu Ruoxi heard Mrs. Liu San say this, she was relieved. It seems that Mrs. Liu San has also remembered the lesson of the last time, and this time it should not be the kitchen that has just arrived. and was taken back again. Now they and Mrs. Liu San are each other's arms, and Liu Ruoxi doesn't want Mrs. Liu San to lose the power of housekeeper again.

"I've been paying attention to all the things in the kitchen, and I probably know what to expect. You don't pay attention, the needlework room is fine, there is not much going on there. The monthly payment sounds simple, but there are a lot of things in it. Mrs. Liu said to Mrs. Liu with concern.

"What did my aunt hear?" Liu Ruoxi asked.

"Do you know what day of the month we should pay the monthly money?" Mrs. Liu asked.

"Isn't it the fifth day of the month?" Liu Ruoxi said.

That's true. We can get the money on the fifth day of the new month every month, but the people below. But that's not the case. Mrs. Liu San raised her eyebrows, and her eyes were meaningful.

In Liufu, including the master's subordinates, there is a fixed monthly money every month, according to the rules that have been handed down in Liufu. It was supposed to be sent out on the second day of every month. But in the hands of Mrs. Liu and Liu Da/Grandma, it gradually became the fifth day of junior high school.

This is still the master, and most of the decent girls and grandmothers who serve in the master's house can get the monthly money on time on the fifth day of the new year. And the rest of the subordinates......

"There are the first ten, and there are fifteen, and sometimes. Let's just say that there is a shortage of money in the front account room, and there are all those who drag it to twenty. The whole family is controlled by them, and they dare not complain. Mrs. Liu San told Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi.

"I always hear them say it's difficult, and it's really so difficult!" Mrs. Liu sighed.

"It's difficult, it's just a trick they play!" Mrs. Liu San sneered, "The money that should have been sent, they have already received it from the front according to the day." It's not distributed below, but they take the money and send it outside to eat profits! ”

"Money lending!" Mrs. Liu exclaimed.

"You are in the house, you won't know a shadow at all!" Mrs. Liu San said.

"How dare they let us know about such a thing." Liu Ruoxi said, "My mother doesn't care about anything, the money in our yard is still timely." ”

"That is, to hide it from you, and from the old lady." Mrs. Liu San said, "You don't care, so I don't know." ”

"I'm also a little skeptical, but I can't believe it's true. Such an unreasonable thing. Are they short of food or clothing, and they usually don't lack looting, and the money is so kind? Mrs. Liu frowned, and asked Mrs. Liu again, "Is there any evidence?" ”

Such a thing cannot be said with empty words, it must be substantiated.

"Now that this errand is in the hands of my mother, they are afraid that they are busy annihilating the evidence." Liu Ruoxi said.

"Yes." Mrs. Liu San nodded, then stood up, "Leave it all to me." It's a matter out there, keeping their men busy. ”

As Mrs. Liu spoke, she hurriedly said goodbye and left.

“…… is so bold, "Sent away Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu Er drank tea and was shocked, "I thought that they would come out of the family anyway, but who knows, they can even do such a thing." ”

"Mother, you should recognize them by now!" Liu Ruoxi said. Mrs. Liu Er suffered losses and was pampered since she was a child, and she was protected too well and believed in people too much.

"Not really." Mrs. Liu sighed.

After a while, Second Master Liu came back from outside and told Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi that Third Master Liu had come back and had done a good job in the affairs of the Yamen.

"I made a picture and figure, and I got a bonus of two hundred taels, and I will send it to the next state capital tomorrow. Even if he escaped from the vicinity of the capital, he would always be found. Second Master Liu said.

"A person who is a good drinker and gambler, wherever he goes, I'm afraid he can't change it. Such a person has a picture and a bonus, and it is only a matter of time before he is caught. Liu Ruoxi also nodded.

"Exactly."

The people behind Zheng San'er shouldn't have thought that they would make such a big effort to arrest Zheng San'er, Liu Ruoxi thought secretly in her heart.

"Dad, what the eldest wife and grandma said, Zheng San'er's motives, Dad, do you believe it?" Liu Ruoxi asked Second Master Liu.

"I don't believe it." This time, Second Master Liu did not hesitate, although he also understood what his answer meant.

"Dad, who in our family knows and can get the poisonous horse grass?" Liu Ruoxi asked the second master Liu again. Liu Ruoxi listened to the military man who followed Rong Chenghan muttering, poisonous horse grass grows on the grassland in the north, and there is no such thing near the capital. Liu Ruoxi didn't believe that Zheng San'er could get this thing, it must have been given to him by the person who instructed him behind his back.

"I'm afraid that no one in your back house will know about this, and there will be no place to get this." Second Master Liu pondered for a while, "...... Da Lang is not at home now......"

Hearing Second Master Liu say this, Liu Ruoxi knew that Second Master Liu and her thought of going together. That's right, they all doubt Liu Yujiang. In this family, if anyone has the opportunity to know about poisonous horse grass and get this kind of thing, it must be Liu Yujiang. Although Liu Yujiang is a minor official of the Terracotta Division, he can learn about poisonous horse grass in the yamen. If he has the heart, he can get it.

As for Liu Yujiang, he is now on an errand somewhere outside the city, and he is not in the house......

"That doesn't rule him out of suspicion." Liu Ruoxi said. Originally, Liu Yujiang went on an errand at this time, and he was suspected of avoiding the troubles in the long room. Most likely, he didn't go on any errands, or maybe he had already returned, but he just felt that it was not time to go home, so he hid somewhere outside.

In order to know the situation at home, Liu Yujiang must have contacted Liuda/grandma. In this way, the whole line is also connected in series.

"Be more careful in the future......" Second Master Liu instructed Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi.

Liu Ruoxi nodded.

"As the saying goes, there are a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no thousand days to prevent a thief. Always on guard, fear is not the way to go. I have to think of a way to do it once and for all......" Liu Ruoxi mused.

And this method is not something that can be figured out in a while.

"By the way, the horse was poisoned, how did you get to Zhuangzi?" Master Liu San finally took the time to ask at this time.

"Thanks to meeting good people." Mrs. Liu Er will meet Rong Chenghan, how Rong Chenghan saw that the horse was poisoned by the poisonous horse grass, and how he lent the war horse to them, all told Liu Er.

"I see." Second Master Liu said, "If we hadn't met them, I'm afraid that at this time, we wouldn't know what was going on with the horse." Most of the time it's like eating something bad. ”

"Not really." Mrs. Liu nodded.

Liu Ruoxi also had to admit that what Second Master Liu said was right. Presumably, the person behind it didn't think of it. If they eat the wrong thing, I'm afraid they won't be able to suspect Liu Yujiang.

"When you say so, return the horse at once." Mrs. Liu said.

"War horses are precious, and they are used to pull carts for your mother and daughter." Second Master Liu said.

"I also said I couldn't help it." Mrs. Liu said.

"In the eyes of the border army, the war horse is their life. Don't be lazy. Hurry up and send the appropriate people back to Ma Haosheng, and I'll write another post. Second Master Liu got up and went to write a post.

“…… I happened to come back with some dirt from Zhuangzi. It's not unusual, but it's still fresh. Sister, come, help my mother pick some, and send someone to send them over later. Second Mrs. Liu greeted Liu Ruoxi.

Seeing that Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu were writing posts again, and they were going to send soil again, she couldn't stop her! Liu Ruoxi is lazy.

"You go play, my mother picks it herself. Save you from being careless, my mother has to pick the best ......" Second Mrs. Liu saw that Liu Ruoxi was slow, and she didn't think much about it, so she simply said. (To be continued......)
