However, she said that because of such a major event as "Robin Hood" in the house, Mrs. Wang did not dare to immediately say the news from Zhou Rui's family. After waiting for another three days, Fang took advantage of Wang Xifeng's coaxing Jia's mother to laugh for a while, and stepped forward with tears in her eyes: "There is one thing, I got the news the night before yesterday, because I didn't dare to disturb the old lady. rest, and prepare for the next day's return. It was the thief who killed a thousand knives in our house that night. ”

Mother Jia hurriedly asked what was the matter, Mrs. Wang glanced at the people in the room with her eyes, Mother Jia understood, and waved gently to let them all go out. When Mrs. Wang saw the door closed, she immediately burst into tears, and knelt on her knees: "Ask the ancestor to save Yuan'er!" ”

Mother Jia was shocked: "How is the big girl in the palace?" ”

Madame Wang cried, "Not yet, but ......" She bent down again and cried.

Jia Mu stood up anxiously, pointed at her and shouted in a trembling voice: "Say it quickly!" ”

Mrs. Wang said: "In order to please Concubine Hui, I once sent someone to hook up with Gonggong Liu who came back to our house. The first few times were fine, but that day ......" She lowered her head again to wipe away her tears, but repeated the words from Zhou Rui's family. Expectantly, he asked, "Did the saint remember wrong?" How have our families ever borrowed money from the treasury? ”

Jia Mu was also like thunder when she heard this, and after a while, she slowly sat back in her chair with her eyes closed. finally sighed: "Back then, everyone borrowed money from the treasury, and our family was just to live up to the grace of God." ”

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "Then you still haven't moved?" Why don't you just return it? The people have always been in debt, let alone borrowed from the treasury. ”

Jia Mu snorted: "Let's pay it back, but don't other families pay it back?" If others don't want to pay it back, just if we pay it back, what if the saint takes us to slap these old relatives in the face? Don't forget, we're all one. ”

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "But Yuan'er is still in the palace!" ”

Jia Mu thought for a long time, and finally waved her hand and said: "The saint may not really let the old saint of Yuanchun die in the palace." I went to see the Queen Mother tomorrow and tried to enlarge the girl's appearance. ”

Mrs. Wang kowtowed with tears: "The saint even said such words, how can he be willing to let Yuan'er out!" If he doesn't let it go, the Queen Mother may not be able to ask her to come out. If it's good, it's okay, if it's not good, you can't ask her to come out, and Yuan'er's life will be explained inside. Please have mercy on that child, she was raised by her ancestors when she was a child. After that, he kowtowed again and again.

Mother Jia also wept and said: "It's not that I don't feel sorry for the big girl, as soon as we hand over so much silver, the family will be gone." You have been in charge of the house for so many years, so you naturally know it. Second, how can we offend these old relatives, we are both prosperous and lossy. I sent the big girl in back then, so that she might be able to have a great future......"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "The saint has promised!" Chaise! What a big future! ”

Jia Mu frowned and said, "What is that, but I bought it with money, and it's not that the saint really likes her." ”

Mrs. Wang said, "What about what you bought with money? Isn't a donor an official also an official? And the saints even have such ...... The disgraceful words were also said, which shows that they are really in a hurry. If our family can pull the saint this time, how can the saint be wronged by our family's brave and loyal sake! If you can give birth to a prince......" Mother Jia suddenly opened her eyes. Mrs. Wang knew that she was already moved, and persuaded again: "Are you afraid that you will not give more in the coming day?" What are these? ”

Jia Mu was silent.

Madame Wang knew that she had to think about it for a while, so she resigned with tears in her eyes.

After waiting for another five days, Robin Hood was nowhere to be found, and there was no real news from the government, so Jia Mu knew that the top did not care about it. Nai sighed, and finally called Jia and Jia Zheng over. She said: "When you Lao Tzu was there, because the old saint showed compassion for the heroes, he borrowed 800,000 taels of silver from the national treasury. Now that I heard that the court is difficult, let's ...... Pay it back. ”

Jia Yu immediately jumped up and said, "What are you doing?" Everyone borrowed it, and I didn't hear who paid it back, but it was a fool to pay it back! ”

Jia Zheng had already received the news from Mrs. Wang, and hurriedly said: "Brother's words are wrong. There is no reason in the world to owe money and not pay it back! Besides, our courtiers should have worried about the king. ”

Jia Yu snorted: "What's the worry, have you heard that the emperor is short of money?" It's richer than us. Second child, haven't you ever been in the palace, haven't you seen what the palace looks like? ”

Jia Mu drank: "Shut up!" Because he glared at Jia Yu and said, "What the second brother said is very true, there is no reason in the world not to pay back the money. ”

Jia Yu hurriedly said: "The families haven't paid it back!" Let's pay it back, but people still haven't paid it back? Besides, isn't the second daughter-in-law difficult every day? Now our family is also in difficulty, just borrow it for a while, and it will not be too late for others to pay it back in the future. ”

These words were originally said by Jia Mu to Mrs. Wang, how could she not know? It's just that there is not even a person in the house who can hold up the table. The mansion has made the gangsters confused, and there has been no explanation these days. I heard that a dog was lost in the former Erxian Palace, but it was found on the same day. It can be seen that this Rongguo Mansion looks bright, and the outside is no longer in sight. It will take time to wait for Baoyu to come out. Except for the big girl in the palace, there is no other way.

Then he resolutely said, "I have made up my mind." And he opened a great treasury, and took the money, and gave it back to the treasury. ”

Jia Yu was still about to speak, but he heard a big chaos outside, and just scolded "howl what", only to see a few women in charge rushing in in a panic: "Old lady, Second Grandma Lian has fainted!" ”

Jia Mu hurriedly asked, "How did you faint?" ”

"The second grandmother just led people to take stock of the big warehouse in the northwest corner, opened the warehouse door and looked, there was only a bunch of empty boxes left!"

When Jia's mother heard the report, it was dark and almost fainted, Jia Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to help, but Jia Yu was bent on going to the treasury to have a look, so she was so anxious that she went around the house and cursed. It took a long time for Jia Mu to regain her breath, remove her crutches from the ground, and stand up tremblingly: "Help me over!" ”

Everyone hurried over, only to see that many people in charge had gathered in front of them, and the doors of the storeroom were opened four times, and sure enough, they were all empty, and there was not even half of anything left. Jia Yu had already scolded, and Jia Zheng panicked and didn't know what to do; However, Jia's mother was quiet, calling people to open each room, she looked carefully from beginning to end, and finally picked up a small skewer in the penultimate warehouse, with the word "cold" on it. Because he pinched it and asked, "Has anyone seen this?" ”

Everyone hurriedly came over one by one to take a look, but they all said they didn't know. Only one of the stewards said, "Where have you seen this kind of stick?" ”

Jia Mu said kindly: "If you think about it carefully, this seems to be used by some kind of business." ”

The steward was supposed to buy it, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said, "It seems that it is a seller of antiques, but I can't remember what it is called." ”

Immediately, someone shouted: "Didn't Zhou Rui's son-in-law open an antique shop, his surname is Leng." ”

The other shook his head and said, "Isn't Zhou Rui's own family also robbed?" ”

Another one said: "The only thing in charge of the house is that his house is safe and sound, and their house is such a big place, how many things can be left behind." Just pretend. ”

Jia Mu said with a gloomy face: "Take the people first, don't show the news, and invite the people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to come." ”

Someone immediately responded, and led a few dragon spirits and fierce boys to Zhou Rui's family, and couldn't help but say that he took the person, and dragged it to the front of the big warehouse with his two roaring grievances.

Jia Mu was still carefully inspecting the warehouse behind her, and when she was done, she came out, stared at them and saw that the two of them had a cup of tea, and saw that both of them were cold, because she held the skewer with her own hands and asked, "Have you seen this?" ”

How did Zhou Rui not recognize the sign in his son-in-law's shop? He had already seen the empty warehouse with the door open, and suspected that the sign was related to the thief, so he shook his head again and again: "I don't recognize it." ”

Jia Mu said: "It's just that you don't recognize it." He ordered Zhou Rui and his family to be locked up in one place, and their little daughter-in-law was locked up in another place, and they got up and led people back to the courtyard.

Back in the house, Jia Mu only sat upright on the chair in the middle and did not say a word, and others did not dare to speak. Not long after, the people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division arrived, and Jia's mother was inconvenient to see in person, so she asked Jia Zheng to go out to explain the reason, and handed them the sign. Someone below had already informed Leng Zixing of the location of the antique shop.

When the people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses heard that it was the Rongguo Mansion that had been robbed and not a slave, they immediately nodded their heads, and first went to the scene of the crime, and when they saw the empty large row of warehouses, they couldn't help but smack their tongues, and secretly sighed with a big appetite. I asked if I could interrogate Zhou Rui and his wife, and then said that it was our housekeeper and wife who accompanied the room, and the old lady wanted to ask first. The man knew that these slaves were familiar with the secrets of their masters, so he stopped insisting on them, and took the skewers and went to the antique shop of Leng Zixing.

Because the New Year was approaching, Leng Zixing was taking inventory in the store, and suddenly there was a chaotic sound outside, so he coughed and asked, "What are you doing?" I saw a few officials break in and grin at him: "Uncle Leng, you have made a mistake." "I can't help but say, take the lock and leave.

Leng Zixing shouted a few times "wronged" and no one paid attention to him, seeing that they were all on the street, countless idlers came up to watch, he was usually a man with a head and a face, and he suddenly felt ashamed and shouted: "My Yue's family is from Rongguo Mansion!" ”

The official gave him a head: "You are still dreaming!" Now it's Rongguo Mansion who has sued you. ”

Leng Zixing was stunned for a moment.

The servant said, "Did your father-in-law steal the property of the master's family?" Did you sell the stolen goods for him? ”

Leng Zixing thought that the East Window incident had happened, and he was dumbfounded, and he didn't say a word. The official snorted heavily and dragged him away.

When everyone looked at him, they knew that there was indeed something, and "coax~~" spread.

On the other hand, Mother Jia made a trustworthy Mama Zhu to interrogate Zhou Rui and his family. At first, they only swore and showed their loyalty. When he heard that his son-in-law had let the government lock him away, his face changed, and he still refused to say half a word. The grandmother interrogated for most of the day and sighed: "If you think about it again, the old lady doesn't want these family affairs to alarm the government." Now fortunately, it is me, if I change others, I am afraid that you will suffer some hardships. Besides, why don't you want to think about your kids? ”

Zhou Rui's family was shaken, and struggled for a while, and finally explained a few old things about Mrs. Wang.

Mama Zhu didn't come to ask this, she frowned and said, "The big warehouse was also moved by the second wife?" ”

Zhou Rui smiled bitterly: "My daughter-in-law was originally my wife's companion, and the two of us only helped my wife do things, and most of the people in this house knew about it." Although we know something about the big treasury in our hearts, where do we dare to move that thought? Besides, even if we did it, why should we be so stupid and go with the sticks in our son-in-law's shop? It is evident that he has been falsely accused. ”

Mama Zhu asked again: "A few days ago, all the people in the mansion were robbed, but you went out after dinner. ”

Zhou Ruijia was shocked, and hurriedly laughed and said: "I can't tell Mama about that, but the second wife knows, and the old lady only asks the second wife to go." ”

Mama Zhu nodded, I'm afraid it's something that shouldn't be said in the house, and she doesn't want to know. Seeing that he couldn't ask anything today, he locked the door and came out, and went back to explain it to Jia Mu in detail.

Jia Mu pondered for a long time and asked, "In your opinion, but what did they do?" ”

Mama Zhu shook her head and said, "Where do they have that ability." My ancestors, even moving was not so easy. I see that it is still done by foreign thieves, and the nine achievements are those of the last time. Zhou Rui and his family were also framed by others. ”

Jia Mu frowned and said, "Why frame them if you have no grievances or hatred?" ”

Mama Zhu said faintly: "Guilt." Then he explained, "I heard that those strongmen have always used only their slaves, not their masters. Therefore the government does not care much about them. If they keep doing this, they can do it for a long time. It's just that this time they were afraid that they had an internal response, and their desire for profit was consumed, so they didn't hold it. Afraid of being arrested by the government, they found a substitute to come out - the two of them are not clean. I just don't know who the real inner should be. ”

Jia Mu thought for a long time and said, "Starve them for a few meals first." The whole house is carefully investigated, and the needle in the haystack must be fished out. Then he asked, "Who has the keys to the warehouse on weekdays?" ”

Mama Zhu said: "This matter is also a bit suspicious. For many years, the key was in Wang An's hands, and two years ago, he was drunk and gambled, and he actually took the key as a copper coin and threw it out to bet, which just made Lai Da block it and change him to the vigil in anger. Later, there was a gardener named Lu Laozhong, who was an honest man, because his health was not very good, so he begged Lai Mama for the silver at the bottom of the box, and went to guard the treasury. A few months ago, this person suddenly fell ill and died. When Wang An heard about it, he went to Lai Da again to exchange him back...... How many days have it been? ”

Jia Mu hurriedly said: "Even so, Wang An must also be carefully examined. ”

Mama Zhu went down in response.
