Chapter 19: The Scholar's Injustice (4)
"Except for Lord Zhixian, can I only tell Jiang Lao, Qian Juren and the Zhao family?" Cheng Yao called his name, and then looked at Yao Zhixian for approval. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Then you should go out first!" Yao Zhixian dismissed the others.
"Dad, you and Edamame will go out and wait for me!"
"Good!" Although Cheng Bai wondered why he couldn't stay. But since the girl said so, there must be a point.
"Actually, I have a lot of silver hidden in my house, two hundred taels in the hollow of the tree, and silver in the mouse hole in the firewood house. Speaking of these silvers, we have to talk about the Li family in Tongzhou. ”
"The Li family in Tongzhou, but the richest Li family in Tongzhou?" Qian Juren asked in surprise.
"It's this Li family. I don't know much about the elders. I only know that my father reconciled with my mother eleven years ago, and then joined the Li family. You can go and inquire. ”
If Cheng Bai is the son-in-law of the Li family, then it is not unusual to have this money.
Cheng Yao guessed more than once that the origin of these silvers, based on the attitude of the Bai family in her memory, these silver should be the compensation received after being robbed.
"Please also respond to Cheng Yao's request." Cheng Yao bowed.
"Little girl, you might as well say it directly!" Jiang Lao touched his beard and secretly said that she was a smart little girl.
"Father's involvement, please don't make a public announcement. My father was seriously ill and was sent back that day, but I was afraid that he was unhappy with the Li family. Cheng Yao has not been able to be by his father's side for many years, and now his father is back. When Cheng Yao said this, a wave of tears welled up. The memory of the original owner's loneliness emerged, making Cheng Yao unable to help herself.
"Our family and the Cheng family are neighbors, and our father and son can prove what Cheng Yao said. When Cheng Bai returned home, he was indeed sick, and it was the doctor that other neighbors hired for him. Zhao Gang confirmed Cheng Yao's words.
Driving people out when they are sick is really unkind. Qian Juren secretly asserted.
Man dies for money, and birds die for food. There must be something wrong with Cheng Bai and the Li family. The little girl left us people today, which can be said to have a deep intention. Jiang Lao touched his beard.
"Cheng Yao just wants to serve his father well now, but his father is not familiar with popular things, and I am worried that he spends too much, so he hides the silver."
"It's not safe to hide so much silver at home", it's just a little girl, if you want an ordinary life, why not help her then. Jiang Lao quipped.
"So, I want to ask Brother Zhao to help me save this money in the bank. Otherwise, how dare I hide my money and tell it. Cheng Yao was so naughty that she stuck out her tongue.
After the incident, everyone returned home, but Zhang Tao couldn't go back. All the students were left in the county school.
"The one who steals the money is among you, and whoever does it is quick to admit it. Such a person is simply a shame for the county school," Instructor Wu summoned all the students to lecture.
Dean Jiang stretched out his hand to interrupt Instructor Wu's lecture: "The government is no longer involved in the loss of donated silver, and this is a matter within our county school." Donate silver, I don't have to look for it. But the one who took the money should find his conscience and morality. I believe that my students are good kids, and I believe that things happen for a reason. It is rare to be elegant, but it is equally valuable to know that mistakes can be corrected. I promise that whoever takes the money will not be disclosed. Tonight, I'll be waiting for him in the faculty room. ”
"Dean, it's cold now, you can't stay up all night here." Teacher Wu was worried.
Dean Jiang raised his hand and said that he had made up his mind: "Xiao Wu, you let people go to the students' homes to say that I will add a test for them tonight, and I won't go back tonight." Arrange for the students' room and board tonight! ”
"Who stole it? It's so hateful! ”
"How much delicious food can I buy for two hundred taels of silver?"
"Hehe, you didn't steal this money, did you?"
The students were talking. Listening to the words of the people around him, some people had cold limbs and sweaty heads.
"Dean Jiang, it's cold at night. I got you a quilt. "Instructor Wu knows that he can't persuade Jiang Lao, and that's the only way he can do.
"Shaoting, did you say that the child would appear?" Dean Jiang pushed open the window that had been touched by his hands and feet.
"Yes." Faculty Wu was not sure, and seeing Dean Jiang's depressed expression, he changed the topic with a stack of papers and said, "Dean, this is the article you assigned in the afternoon, and I read a few of them. Most of the students are good and well-educated, and they live up to your teachings! ”
"Put it on the table, I'll take a good look at it tonight!" Jiang Lao smiled and nodded.
Jiang Lao pinched the bridge of his nose and read the articles all night, which made him tired. Standing in front of the window and looking at the whiteness of the sky, the man never appeared.
"Ahh Dead! ”
At this moment, a scream suddenly sounded in the academy.
"Dad, wait for me, I'll go to the academy too!" Cheng Yao said while braiding her hair.
"I won't even leave any pocket money, and I won't take you there!" Cheng Bai said with a straight face. This girl asked Zhao Qi to exchange the silver for a silver ticket overnight last night. Just guard against her father! This girl is better than her mother.
"Dad, you forgot, you're not a professor now, what kind of seminar did you attend! Teach the students! There is income. Now that the family has no income, we always have to save some flowers. You're right? Cheng Yao patiently persuaded.
"It's been more than 20 years, and your mother is in charge of my salary card, and I almost forgot that I was paid!" Cheng Bai patted his head, remembering the past with his wife, and was full of emotion.
"Yaoyao, are you sorry that you didn't become a policeman in your last life?" Cheng Bai looked at his daughter.
"How so! Forget it, I won't go to the academy with you, I thought that I didn't see anything in a hurry yesterday, and I want to visit it today. Cheng Yao turned away, avoiding his father's eyes. Remove the semi-dry clothes from under the eaves and move them to the yard to dry.
"Kid, you want to know if your guess yesterday was wrong!"
"Dad!" Cheng Yao turned her head and looked at her father a little helplessly.
"Child, you are not to blame for your mother's death. You just did what you were supposed to do! The reason why you are not allowed to continue to be a police officer is that Dad is afraid, afraid that he will lose you. Without your mother, Dad can no longer bear the pain of losing you. Your mom loves you so much, if something happens to you! She wouldn't be blind underground. ”
It's a pity that even if the father and daughter dodge, they couldn't escape the crazy pursuit of the criminals.
"Now that you're here, Dad doesn't interfere anymore, you can do whatever you want. As long as you're happy! Cheng Bai gently stroked his daughter's hair. The daughter felt guilty about his wife's death. At that time, Cheng Bai was also in pain and couldn't accept it, how could he comfort his daughter.
Yesterday's things are like yesterday's death. The father and daughter only untied their hearts today.
