This is indeed Lanting's hole card.

So after that, regardless of Zhou Chujin's threats and temptations, she only bit a little tighter, and asked her to tell Xinlan's whereabouts, and the Zhou sisters had to let her go.

Zhou Chujin categorically refused, and motioned to Ma Fushan's family to pick Lan Ting's tendons.

Lan Ting screamed.

Zhou Shaojin, who was standing in the courtyard with her sister, was so frightened that she hugged her sister's arm and trembled.

After a while, Ma Fushan's family walked out of the hall and said in a low voice, "She said it." Xinlan may be in Jingzhou Mansion. ”

Her face was full of exhaustion, and it was clear that this errand was also a difficult task for her.

"Possibly?" Zhou Chujin frowned and muttered, "Didn't you say anything specifically?" ”

"Nope!" Ma Fushan's family said respectfully, "She doesn't know where it is." She said that Xinlan's men had been harvesting cotton nearby in the early years, and later found that the cotton in Jingzhou Mansion was much cheaper than here, so he quit his wife and took Xinlan to Jingzhou Mansion.

When Xinlan returned home, her wife asked about her current situation, and she also said that she lived in Jingzhou Mansion, and this time she went back to Jinling to sell the old house she had left in Jinling and settle in Jingzhou Mansion in the future.

Later, she found out that Xinlan had a relationship with Cheng Bai**, and felt that she must have lied to his wife, so she quietly went to the house where Xinlan used to live, and found that the house had been bought and sold by the tooth shop, and it had not been sold. She suspected that Xinlan had stolen the man's title deed, and asked people to pretend that the buyer went to the office to see the documents of the house, and the formalities were complete, so Xinlan really came back to sell the house......

Later, Cheng Bai fell ill, she didn't see Xinlan, and went to Xinlan's house again. The neighbor next door told her that Xinlan's man rushed over from Jingzhou Mansion a few days ago, sold the house, and took Xinlan back to Jingzhou Mansion.

"She hasn't seen Xinlan since then."

Zhou Chujin was silent for a while, and said to Ma Fushan's family: "She is like this, I'm afraid that she still has a fluke heart, thinking that since I know about Xinlan, I will definitely pull Xinlan out, and I won't take her life." You go in and say I don't believe her at all, and I want you to pick her hamstring......"

If you pick a hamstring, you'll be paralyzed in bed for the rest of your life.

Ma Fushan's family was shocked and said: "Really, really picked her hamstrings?" ”

Zhou Chujin was extremely angry and said, "Do you understand whether one sings with a red face and the other with a white face?" ”

The Ma Fushan family immediately understood. His face flushed red, and he only promised to make promises.

Zhou Chujin said: "You have to make her believe that the reason why I didn't pour her dumb medicine is that the medicine is not easy to find, and it hasn't been delivered for a while." If she doesn't tell the truth again, a bowl of dumb medicine will be poured down, even if she wants to speak, she won't be able to speak. Although there is a doctor in Jinling Mansion who can connect the tendons, if it is not treated in time, even if the doctor is invited, it is useless. …… To convince her, I don't trust her words at all - why should she suspect that his wife was killed by Cheng Bai? That Xinlan just helped the little girl carry a pot of water in, and Cheng Bai just had a relationship with Xinlan**. Maybe Xinlan didn't do anything, maybe Cheng Bai accidentally met Xinlan, and there was an entanglement between the two...... You have to persuade her that if she wants to live, she must tell everything she knows. Even if she doesn't talk about it, I know that Xinlan is in Jingzhou Mansion, and the Cheng family can send someone to investigate, unless she is talking nonsense, and it is easy to find out if she is an outsider who moved in ten years ago. ”

Ma Fushan's family responded with a "yes", thought about it, and entered the hall.

Zhou Shaojin was still a little worried, and said, "Then what if she doesn't believe it?" Could it be that we really picked her hamstrings and tendons? ”

"If we really go that far," Zhou Chujin muttered, "that's all it can be." ”

Zhou Shaojin sighed and accompanied her sister to the upper room to wait for news.

After about a pillar of incense, Ma Fushan's family came over.

"Miss," she said, looking a little embarrassed, "Lan Ting said that after the death of the wife, the master will let them all go. In order to win the trust of the master, she thought of a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets that she had seen in the silver building that were similar to the ones that his wife had privately pasted to supplement the uncle of the Zhuang family, but she had no money to buy them, so the idea finally hit Cheng Bai's body. But Cheng Bai ignored her at all, she had no choice, so she had the audacity to write a note to Cheng Bai that 'you and Xinlan collaborated to kill your wife', and Cheng Bai obediently put two hundred taels of silver on the big tree in the City God Temple as she said. She was scared half to death when she found out, and she didn't dare to take it for fear of revenge by Cheng Bai, and then Cheng Bai fell ill...... As for Xinlan, she really didn't know where she lived, she only knew that she saw that Cheng Bai was very sick, even if she entered Cheng's house, she didn't have a good life, and when her man came to her, she followed her man back to Jingzhou Mansion. ”

In other words, the so-called mother's last life that entrusted her to take care of her sister may also be fake!

Zhou Shaojin was dumbfounded.

Zhou Chujin covered his chest as if he was having trouble breathing, and said after a while: "Let's leave her a dog for the time being, and when I find that Xinlan, I will notify my father to come over for interrogation, and it will be clear what the situation is!" ”

The bow of the Mafushan family should be.

Zhou Chujin told her: "You have to keep an eye on her." If she takes some money from you, you just have to accept it, even if she asks you to quietly find a doctor for her to renew her strength, you can also find someone for her, don't let her feel hopeless, and look for a short sight regardless of it. I'm counting on her and Xinlan dog-bite! ”

Ma Fushan's family is busy patting his chest to assure.

Sister, this is going to hang Lanting's life with hope!

Zhou Shaojin really realized how powerful Zhou Chujin was.

She was very envious, but more than that, she admired.

So on the way back, when Zhou Chujin asked her, "What have you learned", she grinned and shook her head, and said, "Sister, I'd better hide behind you and my father and live my little life in peace." ”

Zhou Chujin shook his head angrily.

Zhou Shaojin just hugged her arm and smiled.

Zhou Chujin sighed helplessly, thinking of what her grandmother said, "a drop of dew on a piece of grass".

For her sister, the path she wants to take may not be suitable for her. On the contrary, her path is under her own feet, and she can find happiness as long as she walks her own way...... Maybe she'll be happier!

Zhou Chujin was relieved and gently touched her sister's head.

Zhou Shaojin asked her sister: "How to check Xinlan's matter?" ”

Zhou Chujin smiled and asked her, "How do you say you should check it?" ”

Zhou Shaojin thought for a while and said, "I think Ma Fushan is the most suitable, but I'm afraid that Ma Fushan's family is not available." ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Chujin agreed, "He is indeed not suitable. After the Winter Clothes Festival is the beginning of winter, and it is time to prepare for the Spring Festival. Many of the officials are from Jiangnan, and what they like is Hangzhou's lotus seeds, Mi Gaoyou's salt duck eggs, these things have to be prepared with the help of Ma Fushan, and he can't get out. ”

Zhou Shaojin thought of someone.

Ma Fushan's cousin Ma Ci.

In the previous life, Ma Ci was the house where Ma Fushan was the one who was to choose a room to accompany her when her sister got married and wanted to choose a room among the servants of the Zhou family. He is not only hard-working, but also shrewd, capable, loyal, and not long after following Zhou Chujin to Liao's house, he came out and became Zhou Chujin's most relied on person. Later, when she got married, there was no suitable person around to help take care of the dowry, and after her sister asked her, she handed over her dowry to Ma Ci to take care of. Within a few years, her body and silver had doubled. Until she was reborn, Ma Ci helped her sisters with their work.

Her hands were clasped tightly together, and she said, "Sister, I occasionally heard that Ma Fushan has a cousin, who is very capable, it seems that he is called Ma Ci, you might as well ask Ma Fushan to see if he can let his cousin run errands for us!" ”

Zhou Chujin was very surprised.

She was not surprised that Zhou Shaojin suddenly mentioned Ma Fushan's cousin, she was surprised that Zhou Shaojin suddenly thought of a way to overcome her bad problem of wringing her fingers whenever she was nervous.

"When did you come up with the idea?" Zhou Chujin pointed to her hand and said, "However, you take it easy, so that it looks more natural." ”

Zhou Shaojin was embarrassed to say that it was Cheng Chi who sued him, so he said "oh", adjusted his posture, and asked his sister: "Do you think my idea is good?" ”

Zhou Chujin didn't believe that Zhou Shaojin heard the name Ma Ci occasionally, in her opinion, this must be Ma Fushan's family begging Zhou Shaojin to arrange an errand for her cousin. If it was something else, she immediately agreed, but this time to investigate Xinlan's whereabouts, she said, "You let him come to see me!" If it works, let him go. ”

Zhou Shaojin breathed a sigh of relief, responded with a smile, and when he returned to Wanxiangju, he asked Shi Xiang to bring a letter to Ma Fushan's family, and asked Ma Ci to see Zhou Chujin.

Ma Fushan knew that his nephew had always wanted to enter the Zhou Mansion on an errand, but Zhou Zhen was an official outside, and the two young ladies lived in Cheng's house for a long time, and there was really no vacancy on Pingqiao Street, so he had been idle. Hearing that Zhou Chujin wanted to see Ma Ci, he thought that Ma Ci had gone some other way, so he didn't ask too much, and gave him a few words about things that should be paid attention to, so he let him go to Jiuru Lane.

Ma Ci is only sixteen years old, but he has grown tall and strong, and he is very stable.

Zhou Chujin was very satisfied after asking, and promised him two hundred taels of silver to go to Jingzhou Mansion.

Zhou Shaojin stayed for a long time after hearing about it.

My sister asked Ma Ci to go to Jingzhou Mansion and gave two hundred taels of silver...... She asked Fan Qi to go to the capital and gave five hundred taels of silver......

She hurriedly asked Shi Xiang to check her private money.

Every entry and exit of incense is recorded, and it must be counted from time to time to ensure that the accounts are consistent.

Zhou Shaojin asked, and she opened her mouth to come: "You still have the money to pick up six taels or three dollars." ”

Zhou Shaojin immediately sweated.

She promised Fan Qi a reward of 200 taels of silver and 10 acres of high-quality paddy fields after the completion of the matter......

When Fan Qi came back, what silver did she reward him?

She was in a hurry in the house and asked Shi Xiang: "When I paid the silver, why didn't you tell me that I only had more than five hundred taels of silver?" ”

Shi Xiangqi said: "You said you were going to take the silver to buy land...... I thought it would be a hundred-year plan to buy land...... What's more, you don't have much to use the silver, and when it comes to the New Year, the old people, the eldest wife, the eldest lord, etc., will be rewarded......"

Zhou Shaojin said: "But those are all silver bills, can the silver bills be exchanged for money?" ”

Shi Xiang's eyes widened, and said, "Of course, the silver bills can be exchanged for money, otherwise where did the silver come from for their gambling?" ”

"yes!" Zhou Shaojin responded, but he thought in his heart that he would wait for Shi Xiang to gather all the silver coins he had obtained over the years to see if he could make up two hundred taels of silver...... If it really doesn't work, write to your father and ask for it...... But what excuse is it used? You can't say that you want to reward Fan Qi, right?
