Chapter Seventy-Eight: Breaking Money

"Don't!"

Mo Xinlan was frightened, grabbed Mo Guanjie tightly, shook her head with tears and said, "Father, I will go by myself, don't go, don't go." ”

"Sister Lan'er......"

Mo Guanjie didn't know how to comfort Mo Xinlan, "I'm the prince of the country after all, and I am an important minister in the court, and your affairs will naturally be explained clearly when you go to the Jinyi Wei Yamen." ”

It's a shame to hoard coal for profiteering, but Mo Guanjie can't ignore Mo Xinlan, not to mention that she is not the main culprit in profiteering, so she won't be afraid of this.

"No way!"

"Second sister."

Ah Jiu rushed over with the Jiang family when he heard the news, Mo Xinlan's appearance of wanting to collapse was really infiltrating, and he stepped forward to support Mo Xinlan, "Don't worry too much, with my father, no one can hurt the second sister." ”

"You don't understand ......," Mo Xinlan said bitterly.

"Mother, I'll accompany my second sister and father to Jinyiwei."

Before Jiang could speak, Jinyiwei, who came to summon people, said: "I don't need Miss Nine to go, I just need to summon Miss Second to understand the situation." ”

Joke!

Now that Miss Mo Jiu's name is like thunder, Jinyiwei can't think about it, so let Miss Mo Jiu, who can speak well, go to the yamen.

Although he did not belong to the Yamen of the Beizhen Fusi, he also faintly heard that the commander of the Beizhen Fusi made King Lu Yan always look at Miss Jiu differently, even if they didn't know each other, even the county lord of Zhaohua dared to provoke, and Mo Ajiu, who made the princess of the town sick and could get out of the whole body, could not be provoked by their group of small shrimps.

The reason why Jin Yiwei has never dared to put on a score in the Mo family is that he is afraid that Miss Mo Jiu will come forward.

"My second sister is an honest person, and now she is frightened and helpless by the name of Jinyiwei, I am worried that what she said in a state of confusion will affect Jinyiwei's case, for the justice of the law, and for the reputation of my second sister. I deserve to go. ”

Ah Jiu was very calm and called Mo Xiang over, "You go and get the deed of the second sister's shop." and brought in the steward who operated in place of the second sister. ”

"Second Miss ......"

Mo Xiang was a little embarrassed, and looked at Mo Xinlan for help. She vaguely understood in her heart that it must be her mother's greed for money that she didn't take the second lady's orders seriously, thinking that she would make more money by selling her death day late, who knows...... Who knew that Emperor Shenwu ordered a thorough investigation of the profiteers' hoarding of coal, and also implicated the second lady.

"Second sister, it is indispensable to authenticate physical evidence in the yamen, don't you want to restore your reputation? The profiteer's sewage is splashed on you, and the Mo family's face is not good-looking. ”

Ah Jiu mentioned the reputation of the Mo family that Mo Xinlan cared about the most. It was enough to make Mo Xinlan speechless.

Mo Guanjie also knew that Ah Jiu was articulate and understood the law, so he nodded and said, "Go, with you, I can rest assured." ”

Although he reads a lot, he is far less proficient in the law than Ah Jiu, and Mo Guanjie attaches more importance to teaching and educating people.

Jiang sighed silently, he couldn't stop his daughter and her husband, so he could only watch them go to the Jinyi Guard Yamen together.

Mother Qi next to her pursed her lips and chuckled. Jiang glanced at her with disgust, and Mother Qi whispered: "The slave maid is just funny when she sees Jinyiwei crying and mourning, you think." Jin Yiwei is not arrogant where to go, and when he comes to our house today, he not only loses his arrogance in the past, but also looks very ......"

"Alright."

Jiang couldn't help but laugh out loud, and stroked his sideburns, "Don't let Ah Jiu hear it." ”

"Madame, you don't have to worry about Miss Nine."

"I'm afraid she's too proud."

"The slave doesn't see that Miss Nine likes to cause trouble, but sometimes, Miss Nine can't do it if she doesn't come forward. Who made Miss Nine your daughter? β€œ

Mother Qi secretly held Jiang's hand.

Kwa Ajiu praised Jiang himself and made Jiang happy.

Mo Sanye asked for silver from the old lady. was about to go out to have fun with others, and suddenly heard that Jinyiwei invited Mo Guanjie to go. His eyes rolled at him, and he didn't bother to go out. Return to the back house again and find the old lady.

"If you do it well this time, you will definitely be implicated in the second brother, and the second brother will inevitably be demoted out of Beijing at that time. Sister Lan'er will also be discredited because of this matter, Fu Guogong's side will definitely not make decisions for her, and the second sister-in-law will not be bad if she doesn't skin her, how can she care about her? ”

Mo Sanye continued to bewitch the old lady with a smile on her eyebrows, "Sister Lan still has to listen to you?" Whoever you ask her to marry, she has to marry, last time I said it...... If it can be done, Brother Xun of the eldest brother's family can marry a noble girl. ”

Mo Junxun is the eldest son of the long house, three years older than Mo Junyong, although he has reached the crown but has never married.

The old lady has always wanted to marry a noble girl for her baby Jinsun, so she can't look down on the squire in her hometown.

Mo Junxun is the eldest grandchild of the Mo family, he is loyal and honest like his father, and he is like Uncle Mo in reading.

There was Mo Guanjie's experience before, and the old lady felt that as long as she could climb to the top of the elite, Mo Junxun would be Mo Guanjie's second, no, even richer than Mo Guanjie.

She tried her best to save face and left her children and grandchildren by her side, just to find a rich family for her eldest grandson through Mo Guanjie and Jiang's family.

Not to mention that he was really found by the old lady, as long as the Mo family is willing to marry Mo Xinlan, that family can let Mo Junxun marry the nobles.

Sacrificing a granddaughter to become the most precious grandson, this business is very cost-effective in the eyes of the old lady.

"Don't fool me!"

"Mother, when did your son lie to you?"

Mo Sanye rubbed the old lady's shoulder, "However, if you want to make a big deal about it, you have to have money to dredge it, without silver, with the second sister-in-law's mother's family, Jinyiwei may not dare to investigate Sister Lan'er." ”

"You're not asking me for money?"

"Forget it."

Mo Sanye was about to leave, "Since you don't believe me, why should I bother with this heart?" You just see that Brother Xun can't be high, and it's not easy to be a family member for a lifetime. β€œ

"Come back!"

"You know that Brother Xun is suspicious of me."

Mo Sanye was dissatisfied with the old lady's partiality, but he was more favored than the second brother, and only a real person like the second brother couldn't see through that the old lady was using him at all.

The old lady pondered for a while, only to hear the third son say indifferently, "It's too difficult to find such a good opportunity again, and the second brother is cautious." Second, if Ah Jiu's niece enters the Purple Shirt Guard, and the eldest princess values her, who would dare to provoke the second brother? ”

The eldest princess is like a tight spell. The old lady's face immediately changed, and she looked at the third son carefully for a long time. Carefully took out the rosewood box, opened it tremblingly, Mo Sanye knew that this was his mother's box with silver tickets, and when he looked at it, he was slapped open by the old lady.

Mo Sanye touched his head and muttered, "If you don't look at it, you won't look at it." ”

The old lady opened the lock on the box, took out two silver tickets painfully, and hesitated for a while before handing them to Mo Sanye. "I sue you, and I know that you have deceived me and used the money elsewhere, and I ...... I'll break your legs. ”

"Understood, understood."

Mo Sanye took the silver ticket and promised with a smile: "You can rest assured that your son will do things." ”

After the third son left, the old lady covered her chest and shouted that it hurt, it really hurts, and the silver she had finally saved was less than one-third.

Since she didn't deal with the Jiang family, the income in her hands has become less and less. There is not much money left in the private house, and now she can only live on monthly money, which is not as good as when she was in her hometown. Mo Guanjie was worried that she would not have enough money and would not be able to fulfill her filial piety in front of her, so he would return a lot of silver every year.

Coupled with the income from the fields in her hometown, the squire scolded her, and most of the old lady's private money was accumulated at that time.

"Third master, third master."

After listening to Mo Sanye's words, Ouyang said worriedly: "You got the second brother out of the capital according to what your grandmother said?" ”

"Let's not talk about whether I have the ability to let the second brother degrade out of Beijing, that is, Ah Jiu's niece and second sister-in-law, you should be easy to provoke?" Mo Sanye sat cross-legged on the kang, picked up the wine cup on the kang table and took a sip. "The second brother doesn't like his mother, but he is a blessed person. married a second sister-in-law, who would dare to calculate him lightly? ”

Ouyang listened to her husband praise other women. felt uncomfortable in her heart, and after thinking about it, she was also convinced by her second sister-in-law Jiang.

Mo Sanye continued: "You don't know how many catties and taels I have? I can get more silver from the old lady, and we will have a more comfortable life in the future, the second brother is in the imperial capital, we can still fake the tiger, once the second brother is released or degraded out of Beijing, who can take me seriously? ”

The Ouyang clan poured wine for Mo Sanye, "It's still the third master who thinks about it, so these silvers ...... Silver ......"

The two silver tickets were given to the Ouyang family, and Mo Sanye said: "Don't think I'm going to drink the rest of this one, I recently got a piece of news, and I estimated that I would donate a petty official in the sixth department." ”

"Donor?"

"He said he was an official, but he was actually a scribe. It's not a donation, it's just a doorway, if it can be done, I am also a member of the government, and I am more proud than I am now. β€œ

Emperor Shenwu has not been confused to the point of donating officials, and there is a limit on the number of scribes, once he can be a scribe, close to the adults above, he has to be valued by the above, even if he can't be an official, there is a lot of oil and water.

He also has a brother who is the son of the country and the priest of wine, and he will not be angry in the yamen.

"I don't want to be like Brother Xun, obviously it's not a material for reading, I have to force myself to study for the imperial examination, he is as dead-eyed as his eldest brother, and he is stupid at the mercy of his sister-in-law. Brother Xun has studied hard all his life, and he can't read it, there is only one second brother, but everyone has the blessings of the second brother? ”

Mo Sanye said: "In the future, you will respect the second sister-in-law more, even if you make your mother and sister-in-law unhappy, you must have a good relationship with the second sister-in-law. ”

"What does the third master mean?"

"It's good to be able to marry the Jiang family."

"This ...... I'm afraid that the Jiang family won't look down on it. ”

Even if Jiang Shoufu's two sons are inherited, the grandchildren are not something that their Mo family can climb.

Mo Sanye said: "Didn't I say it's the best? Even if it doesn't work, people who have a relationship with the second sister-in-law are always valuable, our family is low, and the concubine is not able to marry a concubine? ”

"Hmm."

Ouyang nodded, how could she bear to let her baby daughter suffer? However, it is better to be friendly with the Jiang family than to be inferior to yourself from the same background, and to be mean and greedy sister-in-law.

******

Jinyi Wei Yamen, Mo Guanjie sat on the round chair and sipped tea slowly, looking soothing, not at all like the ease and leisurely in the Jinyi Wei Yamen, so that the Jinyi Wei who was sitting on it was sweaty and hated his teeth.

Isn't it just to raise a good girl, isn't it just that King Lu Yan supports you.

He's the commander of the dignified brocade guards.

In recent years, King Lu Yan has been in the limelight, and the world only knows King Lu Yan, but does not know that he is the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Emperor Shenwu didn't trust him very much, and Gonggong Ma, who was in charge of Dongchang, saw him unpleasantly and wholeheartedly supported King Lu Yan, so that he was almost hollowed out.

"Your Excellency."

"Hmm."

Although he was forced to be uncomfortable by Ah Jiu, the commander of the envoy still had to put on a show, "Are you finished?" ”

"I implore the adults to punish according to the severity of the circumstances, the second sister's store pΓΉ hoards a small amount of goods, and the second sister has handed over the store pΓΉ to the steward to take care of, but only once a year to report the account, she does not know the specific operation."

Ah Jiu put down the file belonging to Mo Xinlan and found many loopholes in it.

"Commander Lu."

"Huh?"

King Lu Yan's gaze moved away from Ah Jiu, "What do you command?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The commander of the Jinyi Guards shook his head secretly, but he didn't expect that King Lu Yan also cared about people who looked stupid, but it was a pity that Ah Jiu was a little older than him, and it would take many years for King Lu Yan to eat Ah Jiu's little girl.

"What do you think of this case?"

"Confiscate the hoarded coal, warn the stewards of illegal operations, and ...... by the way"

Lu Tianyang glanced at Mo Xinlan, "The shop should also be confiscated." ”

"That's not right." Ah Jiu argued, "The fine is, or the closure of business for rectification, the shop belongs to the second sister, and Jinyiwei has no right to confiscate it." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Seeing that King Lu Yan was silent, the commander of Jinyiwei thought to himself, he deserved to have nothing to say, but where Jinyiwei fancied the field shop pΓΉ, which one had not been obtained? King Lu Yan has done a lot of things to raid his house, this is the first time he has eaten deflated.

Why was he so happy? No, you can't laugh out, King Lu Yan can't bear to Miss Ah Jiu, so clean him up...... Hey, what his boss did was not dignified.

King Lu Yan pondered for a while and said, "For the sake of being rich and unkind, in addition to punishing all the hoarded coal, he will also pay 5,000 taels of silver, and the shopkeeper will be punished with 50 canes and sentenced to three years." ”

When Mo Xinlan heard this, although she was annoyed that the nurse and Mother Xia had deceived her, she couldn't see them being sentenced, so she quietly said to Ah Jiu: "Or they will also use silver to pay for their crimes." ”

"No way!" Ah Jiu said: "If you make a mistake, you will be punished, I know that the second sister is kind-hearted, and I can't encourage them to ignore the law." ”

"But ......"

"The matter of the second sister has not yet subsided, and the servants who are unkind to the rich and deceive the master can only be severely punished so that outsiders can know, and this matter has nothing to do with the second sister. The second sister is a law-abiding, fair and honest official lady. ”

Ah Jiu originally had the intention to make the fine of five thousand taels less less, and Mo Xinlan was still thinking about interceding for the person who made the mistake, so she immediately stopped thinking about defending Mo Xinlan again.

"That's it."

King Lu Yan made a final decision, "After paying the fine, Miss Mo Er can leave the yamen." ”

Mo Xinlan asked people to take the silver ticket and hand it to King Lu Lu, and went out with Ah Jiu.

On the carriage, Mo Guanjie said: "Although your biological mother left you a lot of dowry silver, and the silver deposit has increased over the years, you should be cautious in the future, and you must not make a mistake like today." ”

Mo Xinlan was also distressed about five thousand taels of silver, not counting the fine, but the expenditure when hoarding coal was twenty thousand taels, this time she lost too much, and even her reputation was affected. (To be continued) R655
