104 Death Don't Admit It!
Sister-in-law Deng did not hesitate at all, and nodded directly: Let's go, let's go find your eldest brother. They don't want to go back to Dengjia Village, besides, she now has the silver in her hand, and she is not afraid of dragging down the boss.
The more sister-in-law Deng thought about it, the more beautiful she became, and she happily took Deng Xing'er away.
Hey, that girl seems to be the person the young lady was looking for before!
Are they really them?
Right!
Then let's go ahead and see.
Well!
The two little beggars were eating steamed buns in the corner, but they accidentally saw Deng Sister-in-law and Deng Xing'er, so they hid the eight big steamed buns on their bodies and chased after them with the remaining half of the steamed buns in their hands.
――
At the corner of the street where Su Yu went first, when she went, Zhang Zhutou had already brought all the carriage boxes back to the yamen, and she ran to the yamen again.
She thought as she ran, this day was all running, but she was really tired.
When she ran to the door of the yamen out of breath, Zhang Zhutou was directing the catcher to drag things in, and when he saw Su Yu, he was stunned again, and asked casually: What happened again?
Su Yu ran over, she looked at the people around her, and she couldn't say it loudly, so she said: Go in and talk about it.
Zhang Zhuai frowned, but he still made an exception to let Su Yu enter the yamen, and as soon as he entered, Su Yu said to him: The four children in the other box, one of them is the son of Chang Zhifu, and the grandson of Sun Yuanwai, as well as ...... Su Yu told the identities of the four children one by one.
When Zhang Zhutou heard this, his eyes widened, and he said one sentence for a long time: No.
Su Yu stared at him and said: Zhang Zhutou, don't be stunned, let's quickly send someone to protect the child, if there is a mistake, don't talk about you, then Changzhi County may not be happy. Kochi Prefecture is the top boss of Changzhi County, if you make a mistake in the performance appraisal, then even if Changzhi County has a relationship, the promotion will leave a stain.
Right, right! Zhang Zhutou was shocked by this news just now, so he lost his mind, and at this time he came to his senses and ordered directly: Xiao Zhao, you go to the county magistrate's house, and tell the county magistrate about this, Xiao Liu, you take someone to carry this box of silver to the treasury, and put it away for the time being. Eight of you, come with me.
After Zhang Zhutou finished speaking, he hurriedly left the mansion again, of course, he didn't forget to bring Su Yu.
On the way, he also praised Su Yu very much: Your girl is really good, but it's a pity that she is a girl, if she is born as a man, she can give you a quick catch when she grows up in the future. Zhang catches the head, the head snake, this little right is still there.
Su Yu's heart moved, she looked at Zhang Zhutou with wide eyes and said: Uncle Zhang, is there a shortage of people in your yamen?
Zhang Zhutou squinted and thought, these four children still have to be sent to the state capital, and when the time comes, they will have to check the traffickers, as well as the box of silver, there are so many things, think about it, the manpower is indeed a little insufficient, and there are still three vacancies for them to catch quickly.
Zhang Zhutou is also an old fox, he laughed when he heard Su Yu say this: It's a lack of people, you want to introduce people over, is it your brother? There are more people in the town who want to be fast catchers, and this is a fat gap.
Su Yu's face was a little stiff, her brother said that he was going to leave here, at least he couldn't come back for a few months, and he couldn't make up for the difference at all.
Su Yu shook her head, she said: It's my uncle, it's from Zhangjia Village, hey, Zhang Zhutou, you are also surnamed Zhang, what a coincidence!
After Su Yu finished speaking, she felt that she shouldn't be so rash, and she said apologetically: Uncle Zhang, I just said casually, if you don't think it's okay, just assume that you haven't heard this, I'm still a child, and I'm a little whimsical.
Although Zhang Zhutou didn't agree, he said: Go and see people first. Let's look at the temperament first, catch fast, and the innocence of the net worth is absolute.
Su Yu was beating a drum in her heart, she was also hot in the head when she said that just now, forget it, the words have been spoken, and it is useless to say anything now.
They didn't say anything on the way, they just walked, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the charity hall.
The shopkeeper was taken aback when he saw Zhang Zhutou coming in with so many catchers, he was scared out of cold sweat, and thought something had happened, but it turned out to be for the sake of those children, and the shopkeeper was relieved.
Takamatsu said that when he was identified, the shopkeeper was outside to help the guests weigh medicine, so he didn't know about Takamatsu.
The shopkeeper watched Zhang Zhutou enter the house with a few catchers, and immediately went to the back to get a good tea, and brought it over, so you have to do your best.
By the way, that little girl of the Su family is really powerful, not only familiar with catching fast, but also familiar with catching heads.
Unconsciously, Su Yu's status in the shopkeeper's heart was a little higher.
After Su Yu brought Zhang Zhutou with her, she was about to leave with Uncle Zhang, but she didn't expect Zhang Zhutou to stop her: It's not early at this time, since they are all surnamed Zhang, maybe they were a family hundreds of years ago, and besides, you have helped us so much today, we should also do our best, don't go back later, I will invite you to eat first, and when you finish eating, you can go back.
Uncle Zhang was anxious about the family's affairs, shook his head and refused: I have an urgent matter at home, hurry back, if it weren't for helping this little brother, I'm afraid I would have left a long time ago.
Zhang Zhutou looked at Uncle Zhang and said to Su Yu: He is not suitable.
As soon as Su Yu heard this, she understood what Zhang Zhutou meant, she smiled and nodded: Uncle Zhang is right. Uncle Zhang is too upright and a little inflexible, so he is not suitable for the errand of catching fast.
This is also fate.
Su Yu saw that Uncle Zhang refused to stay, and she was a little girl, so naturally it was not easy to stay, so she said: Uncle Zhang, big brothers, then you are busy first, and we will go back.
Zhang Zhutou looked at her and said: There must be a reward on this matter, I will write down the credit of the two of you for the time being, and when the reward above is sent down, I will send someone to give it to you, as for the meal owed, when you have time, go to the yamen to find me, and I will make up for this meal.
Uncle Zhang's face was slightly red: Why are you embarrassed to accept cashiers, you don't need to treat us, we are willing to help, it's really okay, you don't have to be polite! In Uncle Zhang's eyes, Zhang Zhutou is also an official, and he doesn't dare to collect the money of the official family.
Zhang Zhutou looked at him with a smile.
Su Yu said generously: Our family is short of silver, so I'm welcome!
Zhang Zhutou laughed and said: This is like words.
When Uncle Zhang heard this, he didn't want to be disappointed anymore, so he shut up.
After that, Su Yu, Uncle Zhang and Zhang Xiaolu left the Charity Hall together, and before they went out, they were stopped by the shopkeeper of the Charity Hall, and the shopkeeper looked at her with a bright face, and asked flatteringly: Su Yatou, those four boys are the children of rich and noble families, whose children are they? actually alarmed eight catchers, not counting Zhang Catcher, that identity, I feel powerful when I think about it.
Su Yu said with a smile: Anyway, you remember, they are nobles, and you must remember to use good medicine.
After Su Yu finished speaking, he walked out.
After going out, she also told Uncle Zhang and Zhang Xiaolu: We can't reveal the identity of the child before the yamen says it, otherwise something will happen and it will be up to us.
Uncle Zhang and Zhang Xiaolu nodded in unison.
Uncle Zhang and Zhang Xiaolu are going back to Zhangjia Village, but he is not at ease about leaving Erniu here alone, he struggled for a long time, and finally said Erniu, you go back to Zhangjia Village with us, and then Uncle will send you home, what?
Su Yu shook his head and said: Uncle, no need, isn't my brother in the town, I'll go to the yard he rented to wait for him later, if it's late, I'll stay in the town with my eldest brother for one night, anyway, there is a place to live." Go back first, and leave me alone.
Uncle Zhang still refused, and finally Su Yu said: Uncle, if you don't worry about me, send me to the yard rented by my brother, and you can leave when the door is bolted, okay?
Uncle Zhang agreed, how could he rest assured that the second girl was a little girl's house! Coupled with Zhang Xiaolu's kidnapping today, he felt that the people in this town were bad-hearted, so he was extremely uneasy.
After he sent Master Su to the rented yard, he repeatedly advised: But don't lock the door, except for your brother, no one is allowed to open the door, you know?
Su Yu nodded: Got it, uncle. Su Yu suddenly remembered that Uncle Zhang had come to town empty-handed, and they hadn't eaten lunch yet.
She took out ten copper plates, thought about it, and finally handed it to Zhang Xiaolu, and said at the same time: Cousin, you take your uncle to eat something, this place is far away from Zhangjia Village, and you will have the strength to go back when you are full. She knew that Uncle Zhang would not accept her money, so she gave it to Zhang Xiaolu.
Zhang Xiaolu took the silver and nodded lightly.
Su Yu looked at Uncle Zhang's expression as if he wanted to stop Zhang Xiaolu from collecting the copper plate, and hurriedly said: Uncle, my cousin went out early in the morning and was tied up, she must be hungry and thirsty.
Su Yu said again: Besides, it's just ten copper plates, which is not much. If you give too much, your uncle won't ask for it.
Uncle Zhang smiled bitterly and said: Alas, I went out in a hurry today, I didn't bring any money, and I had to help you with a child to give money, it's really embarrassing.
Su Yu said with a smile: Uncle, don't take it to heart, we were divided and didn't ask for anything, if you hadn't borrowed two taels of silver from my mother, our family would have starved to death, but it was just a few copper plates, nothing. Besides, with the relationship between the two of us, where do we need to be so careful.
Uncle Zhang didn't speak, and then took Zhang Xiaolu away, on the way, Zhang Xiaolu ate a bun, Uncle Zhang ate three steamed buns, and the rest of the steamed buns were all wrapped up and ready to take back.
On the way, Uncle Zhang said to Zhang Xiaolu: Don't learn from your mother when you marry in the future, our family is not bad for the little filial piety silver of our daughter, you know!
Zhang Xiaolu nodded lightly.
Uncle Zhang said again: In the future, I will hide some money at my mother-in-law's house, but don't be like today, I have nothing, and I have to pay my cousin, what a shame.
Zhang Xiaolu lowered her head and didn't speak, she knew, she couldn't help but complain about her mother, it was her mother, who lost all the money in the family, so that her family lived so poorly, what she hated the most was that those people in her grandmother's family didn't really treat her mother well at all, but they really died.
Uncle Zhang and Zhang Xiaolu only arrived at the house, because Zhang Xiaolu walked slowly, she still refused to let Uncle Zhang carry her, so she could only walk slowly like this, so she didn't return home until now.
As soon as Uncle Zhang returned home, he felt that the atmosphere at home was not right.
Aunt Zhang saw Uncle Zhang come back, the person who was still lying on the bed got up all of a sudden, she came out with her head in her hands, she saw Uncle Zhang, as if she had been endlessly wronged, and was preparing to be in the black state with Uncle Zhang, but she never thought that Second Uncle Zhang also came out of the main house.
Second Uncle Zhang only said one sentence: Brother, my mother was knocked out by your daughter-in-law, and Dr. Zhang said that if you can't wake up tomorrow, you have to prepare for the future.
When Aunt Zhang heard this, she jumped up in a hurry: Fart, I didn't knock on the person!
When Uncle Zhang saw the injury on Uncle Zhang's head, he wanted to ask a few words, but as soon as Second Uncle Zhang's words came out, Uncle Zhang's face darkened suddenly, and he slowly glanced at Uncle Zhang.
Second Uncle Zhang was not enough, and said again: My house was turned upside down, my daughter-in-law's dowry box was also stolen, and my mother's house, her baby's silver hairpins and a golden bean were gone, Xiaohu said, it was his mother who made it. But Xiaohu doesn't admit it, brother, since that's the case, let's go and report to the official, and then we will be able to find out.
When Aunt Zhang heard that she was going to report to the official, she panicked, didn't she say this before, isn't this matter over?
She squeezed out an ugly smile: Report to the official, everything is gone, and the report is useless, besides, those catches are so powerful, how can we have the money to beat them.
Uncle Zhang didn't answer, just looked at Uncle Zhang and asked: Did you do it?
Aunt Zhang immediately denied it: No.
Uncle Zhang turned his head to look at Second Uncle Zhang: Just go and report to the official.
Second Uncle Zhang thought that Uncle Zhang believed Uncle Zhang's words, so he asked the official, so Second Uncle Zhang hesitated and said: Brother, this thing was done by Xiaohu's mother, if it is found out......
Uncle Zhang said expressionlessly: Then arrest her in prison, and when the matter is implemented, I will write a letter of resignation to her, and then she will have nothing to do with our family.
For the sake of the Deng family, he went to help before dawn, but it turned out that the Deng family's mother-in-law was sick, and it was true that he wanted to make money to pay off the debt, and he also gave his daughter to the people in the gambling house, heh, this is really enough. Originally, he still thought that he would come back and teach this daughter-in-law a good lesson, for the sake of his children, if she was willing to change, he would give him one last chance, and he didn't mention the past, and the two of them lived together like this.
But he never thought that Xiaolu's mother not only injured his own mother, but also stole things from the house, and he didn't admit it! Heh, since this matter was said by the second brother, it must not be fake, the second brother does not wait to see him and her mother, at least he will not deceive people.
Moreover, didn't you say it, Xiaohu also saw it with his own eyes, and when the time came, he would ask Xiaohu again.
Aunt Zhang shouted: I didn't do this, I really didn't do it, you have to believe me, the second brother just said casually, he has no evidence! I don't have any money in my hand, I don't have any money!
Uncle Zhang ignored her at all and walked straight to the main house, he had to see how his mother was doing.
Aunt Zhang saw that Uncle Zhang ignored her, but she howled: Daming, you stop for me, you make it clear to me.
Uncle Zhang stopped, he suddenly turned around and shouted: Tell me clearly? How else do you want me to make it clear? How can you say that your wife is deceiving? Say how did you take your daughter to your eldest brother to pay off his gambling debts, if I hadn't bumped into my daughter in the town, she might have been sold somewhere! You still have the face to say! It's good that I didn't kill you, I'm going to endure it now, it's for the sake of the children, otherwise, I would have let you get out of here!
Aunt Zhang said with a look of surprise: Xiaolu was saved by you, where is it, where is it? Why didn't she see it!
Zhang Xiaolu walked out of the corner, there was no sadness or joy on her face, from the moment she entered the door to the present, her mother didn't see her, heh, and said it was for her, it's really ridiculous.
She could see that her mother couldn't take care of her at all in order to get rid of her guilt, so naturally she couldn't see her.
When Zhang Qing heard Uncle Zhang's words, his face suddenly turned pale: Dad, what you said is true? After he finished asking, he eagerly pulled Zhang Xiaolu and asked: Xiaolu, did my mother really give you to the people in the gambling house?
Zhang Xiaolu nodded without hesitation: Hmm!
