Chapter 146: Favor (Monthly Pass 120 Plus Update)
Xiaomei shook her head, but said with an affirmative face: "The slave is 100% sure that the thirty taels of gold are from the old lady's treasury. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info It's just that although Mother Chen doesn't have any heart, but this matter involves her future and life, and it is not easy to find out the truth from her mouth. ”
The main thing is that the three-room move is imminent, and there is no effort to delay too much work in this matter.
And when Sanfang moves out of the Chengyi Mansion, it will not be easy to investigate this matter clearly.
The reason why Xiaomei came to report the good news so early in the morning was to have fun early in the morning, and secondly, she wanted to ask Peng Jin to have an idea, whether to continue the investigation, and how to track it down.
Peng Jin thought for a moment, looked up and said to Xiaomei: "After breakfast, I went to invite Pearl over." ”
Since she was sent to the small Zhuangzi in the northern suburbs, Pearl has taken over her work, and one of the most important things is to guard the Min's treasury. And the Min family is greedy for money and stingy, so the pearl who is in charge of this work should be the most clear about how many things are in the Min family's treasury.
If you want to know whether Min Rou's thirty taels of gold were stolen from the Min family's treasury, as long as you find pearls to reconcile, you will be clear.
Yunwu and Xiaomei guessed Peng Jin's plan, and couldn't help but look at each other, hesitantly persuading, "Is this good?" Pearl is an old lady's man. ”
"No matter who she is, the first thing she thinks about is to save herself." Peng Jin explained, "Once such a major event as the theft of the treasury is found out, no matter whose hand it is, the pearl in charge of the treasury will definitely not be punished." With the old lady's person, and Jin Zhu is guilty of the crime in the front, I am afraid that this punishment will definitely not be light.
At this time, we handed her the news, that is a great kindness, she can only cooperate with us, think of her own grievances, and will never go against us, protect Min Rou who trapped her in injustice, or report to the old lady who punished her. ”
There is another reason why Peng Jin didn't tell Yunwu and Xiaomei, that is, she doesn't want to owe Pearl a favor.
Previously, the Wang family deliberately instructed Mother He and Mother Wen to spread rumors, maliciously slandering Liu Shi, which made the Min family and the Cui family very displeased, and forcibly gave Liu Shi a concubine, so as to prevent Liu Shi from continuing to sleep outside and live in the willows, messing around, ruining the reputation of the Chengyi Bofu, and affecting the future of Liu Kejing, Liu Cheng and Liu Rang.
At that time, the Min family sent pearls to Yicui Courtyard to spread the word that Peng Jin wanted to go to Rongshoutang.
Pearl was kind for a while, and mentioned Peng Jin, saying that the Cui family was also there, which made Peng Jin realize that there was no good banquet when the two giants got together, so he was mentally prepared in advance.
Of course, even without Pearl's reminder, Peng Jin's camera action may not be able to avoid the joint persecution of the Min family and the Cui family.
However, there is revenge and revenge, and there is kindness to repay kindness, Peng Jin is a person with clear grievances, since Pearl helped her out of kindness, then she will repay the favor and give Pearl a bigger gift.
It just so happened that after ending the grievances and hatreds of all the characters in the Sincere Bofu, he moved to Lantern Lane without any worries, and lived his own little life behind closed doors!
Yunwu and Xiaomei listened to Peng Jin's explanation, and thought that it was indeed the best choice to join forces with Pearl to find out this matter in such a hurry.
"The slave and maid understand." Xiaomei should go on an errand and prepare without mentioning it.
When Sister-in-law Fusheng entered the mansion and combed her hair and dressed up, Peng Jin explained solemnly: "Sister-in-law Fusheng, you immediately go to Baohua Mansion and tell Fusheng that you must do everything you can to let the gold artifacts delivered by Min Rou circulate to other places or re-smelt and re-cast." ”
That is the strongest evidence of Zheng Min Rou's theft, and it must not be destroyed.
Sister-in-law Fusheng knew that the matter was very important, so she hurriedly responded and went out of the house to do errands.
After explaining, Peng Jin went to Rongshoutang and Rong'an Hall to go around and complete the last greeting in his life in the Sincerity Mansion.
Today is the Chung Yeung Festival, but the entire Chengyi Bofu is like a pool of stagnant water, and there is no festive atmosphere in sight. Even the chrysanthemums that are stacked everywhere seem to be shrouded in a layer of desolation of "holding incense on the branches" in his day.
It was really in vain that the Wang family made up so much dowry silver, and originally wanted to buy a full house, but who knew that it was only replaced by a silent and lonely one.
I'm afraid that at this time, the Wang family will have to complain in Chengfang Courtyard that Liu Zhi has an accident and doesn't choose a good day!
Peng Jin looked at the breath holding his breath along the way, and even slowed down his walking, for fear of making a little noise that would displease the master, and the servant women and maids who were punished sighed, I am afraid that not only the sincerity of Bofu, but also the entire capital this year, including the majestic palace, will be difficult to see the joy and excitement of the Double Ninth Festival in previous years!
Peng Jin didn't like this loneliness, and he didn't want to entertain each other with a group of people who hated each other, and there was still a yard of things that had not been packed up, so he excused himself from feeling unwell when he asked for peace, and shirked today's family activities.
The Min family and the Cui family were anxious for the annoying troublesome essence of the three rooms, so they hurriedly left far away, naturally they would not keep more, and readily agreed.
After coming back for breakfast, Peng Jin personally instructed the literate maid to pack the things in Liu Shi's study, while waiting for the arrival of Pearl.
didn't wait long, Pearl hurriedly followed Xiaomei over, with a look of panic and indignation.
It seems that on the way, Xiaomei revealed to her the words that Min Rou had stolen the Min family's treasury.
Peng Jin handed over the task of cleaning up the study to Lan'er, and personally instructed some important classics, documents, calligraphy and painting manuscripts to be carefully packed and packed, so he took off the veil turban and covering, simply freshened up, cleaned up neatly, and saw the pearl in Baoxia.
chose a comfortable position to sit firmly on the couch, Peng Jin did not take a detour, and asked directly: "Why did you invite you to come, Xiaomei should have already told you." ”
Pearl hurriedly bowed to Peng Jin and said gratefully: "Slave and maid thank the third grandmother for her kindness." ”
Peng Jin nodded, let Pearl get up, and said with a smile: "It's just mutual benefit." ”
didn't hide her disgust and dislike for Min Rou at all, and wanted to get rid of it quickly.
Pearl was stunned by Peng Jin's frankness and straightforwardness, and then realized that Peng Jin was not only setting an example for her, but also making demands on her, so she took off the calm and respectfulness on her face that she barely maintained, and replied with an anxious and sincere face: "What does the third grandmother command, just say it directly, the slave and maid must do everything!"
