Zhou Shu nodded with a smile, "Yes, a total of thirty-one hundred and nineteen thousand taels." ”

Jian Ying's hand flipped through and saw that most of them were denominations of 10,000 taels, and only a few small tickets were 1,000 taels and 500 taels on them, "Isn't it 310,000?" How can there be an extra nine thousand taels? ”

"It was found from the robbers and Wang Bao." Zhou Shu said while picking up a horn comb to help her through her hair, "Mrs. Tang promised those robbers a reward of eight thousand taels, and said that she would pay half of it first, and then pay the other half after the matter is completed."

Wang Bao took Mrs. Tang's jewelry, a total of 10,000 taels, and 2,000 taels fell from it. I have squandered a thousand taels in the past few days, and there are still five thousand taels left. Before the robbers could spend the money, Long Jing found out where they hid the money and took it back. ”

"And what's going on with all these jewelry?"

"A few of them were taken from you by the robbers, and the rest were exchanged for silver by Madame Tang. When the tickets were all with Wang Bao, I asked someone to redeem the original price and bring it to the Tang Mansion as physical evidence to confront Master Tang.

Master Tang was very interested, and he gave the money and jewelry to the lady, saying that he was to make amends for the mother's shock. ”

Jian Ying laughed when she heard this, "I said how come there is an extra fraction of 10,000 taels on the IOU, it turns out that this is the case." I don't see it, you're still a good seedling for debt collection.

Those who can work hard, and if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you will be allowed to go out. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, lady." Zhou Shu's expression was solemn, "It's enough to experience that kind of thing once, and there can't be a second time." ”

"Am I not kidding? What are you really talking about? Jian Ying rolled her eyes, dragged the box containing the money in front of her, picked out all the zero tickets, and took out a whole ticket of 10,000 taels, "I'll keep the 19,000 taels, and you can ask someone to take the 300,000 taels and distribute them to the families of the dead coachman and the guard, as well as the two who were seriously injured." ”

Zhou Shu didn't expect her to make such a decision, she was stunned at first, and then raised the corners of her lips happily, "Yes, listen to the lady." ”

Jian Ying closed her eyes and sighed softly, she was not a virgin, and she would not take the responsibility on herself indiscriminately. But when I think of a few people who were still alive one moment ago, and the next moment they died in front of my eyes, I always feel uncomfortable.

She knew that no amount of money could buy back their lives, and she just wanted to make their families more comfortable and let them go with peace of mind.

If it weren't for the money needed to monitor Xiao Liu'er, she wouldn't even keep the nineteen thousand taels.

Zhou Shu saw that she was a little sad, so she deliberately changed the topic, "Mrs. Tang was sent to Zhuangzi in Changqing by Master Tang yesterday, and the mother-in-law surnamed Lian was also beaten and sold along with her family. ”

Jian Ying didn't make a sound, now that she thinks about it, the one who sneakily followed her in Meizhuang must be this Lian mother-in-law. Her whereabouts should have been reported to the robbers through some channel by her mother-in-law.

Only when the robbers get accurate information can they ambush them in the middle of the road, intercept and plunder.

Zhou Shu paused, and then said: "There are also those robbers, who are actually the famous 'Nine Monsters in Luzhong'." Specializing in collecting money from people and eliminating disasters for others, as long as the remuneration is good, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil things.

They have been wanted by the government for many years, but they have not been able to apprehend them because they acted quickly and cautiously, leaving no trace. ”

"Nine Monsters?" Jian Ying opened her eyes, "Aren't there only eight of them?" Is there still a fish that has slipped through the net? ”

"They've always been eight people, and the ninth has never been there. Long Jing interrogated those few living people, and they also said that they had never seen this ninth person, and only said that that the person and their leading brother were sworn brothers.

At first, only these two people acted together, and they did good deeds of chivalry, and they were called 'Luzhong Double Heroes'. Later, the man disappeared for some reason, and the leading brother re-recruited some people to form the current 'Luzhong Nine Monsters', and even changed his style. ”

Jian Ying nodded clearly, and said in her heart that it was no wonder that the eldest brother did not allow Lao Qi to touch her, it seemed that she was not completely degenerate, and there was still a little conscience left in her heart.

"And these people are going to be dealt with? For the sake of my reputation, for the sake of the reputation of the palace and the Jian family, it must not be sent to the government, right? ”

"You can't send a living person, so it's a different matter with a corpse." Zhou Shu is an understatement.

Jian Ying was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

Also, if these scourges are sent to the government, they will inevitably die, so it is better to let them go to hell as soon as possible to repay the sins they have committed in this life.

She was just curious, "These people should have made a lot of money by doing so many evil things, right?" Why is there only four thousand taels collected from Mrs. Tang? ”

According to the robbers, they were all homeless outlaws, and after receiving an equal share of the reward, they would scatter and find a place to squander. It wasn't until the money was spent that they got back together and took on the next business. ”

"They're chic." Jian Ying muttered a sentence and began to drive people away, "What you want to say is over, right?" Why don't you go there, I haven't finished cleaning up yet. ”

Since last night, Zhou Shu felt as if she was deliberately avoiding him, and he used this morning when Longjing sent silver over, so he used this as an excuse to come to talk to her.

Although she was driven away at this time, she didn't realize that she was deliberately alienating herself, so she let go. According to her words, she took the box of silver tickets and handed it to Longjing, and asked Longjing to take it and distribute it to the families of the dead and wounded.

As soon as Zhou Shu left, Jian Ying instructed Xueqin to call all the big guys, pointed to the box of jewelry and said, "Look at it, if you like it, take it away." ”

The eyes of several girls lit up, but only Mother Jiang stood still, "Second Young Lady, these are all good things, you can keep them and wear them." ”

Jian Ying didn't like Mrs. Tang, and she didn't even like the jewelry that Mrs. Tang had used. Her own things had been touched by Lao Qi's dirty hands, and she felt disgusting when she thought about it, let alone plugged in.

"I don't lack this bit of jewelry, let you take it quickly, what are you polite to me?"

"Thank you, Second Young Lady." The three girls smiled and blessed their bodies, and then stepped forward to pick.

Xueqin picked a detachable plum blossom hairpin, which together is a big hairpin, separated by two small hairpins, and also picked a pair of earrings with water drops of jade.

Yinping picked a bracelet of red coral, plus a white jade gourd pendant that pressed the corners of the skirt.

The color screen picked for a long time, and a pair of heavy filigree gold bracelets were caught from it.

Xue Qin frowned when she saw it, "This bracelet style is too old to suit you." ”

"I don't wear it." Caiping licked her lips and smiled embarrassedly, "My father closed the private school and said that he wanted to concentrate on his studies and participate in next year's autumn exam, and I want to help him prepare some entanglements." ”

The father in her mouth is naturally Sun Xiucai.

Jian Ying was quite surprised, "Your father is planning to retake the exam?" ”
