Chapter 9: Pick up a kitchen knife and shoot yourself in the foot

When he was about to go up the mountain, Zhen Dafu suddenly had a headache, and the pain was so severe that he almost rolled on the ground. Someone said that he was going to ask for a doctor, but Lin hurriedly stopped: "No, no, he's an old problem, take turns to compress it with hot and cold water, drink some ginger tea, and take a rest." It's just that we can't send my sister up the mountain, and besides, we have to leave Cuizhu to help me, and all we bring are men. ”

Someone in the crowd snorted coldly: "It turns out that I don't want to go up the mountain tired, just go back, do you need to pretend to be sick?" "The faces of these two couples, the neighbors saw through it yesterday.

Lin's fat face turned red, and he was about to spill, Shuyao pulled Shujie's shirt: "Big brother, don't let them go, my mother said I didn't want to see them, and so did Cuizhu." She didn't dare to run, and her mother said that the fugitive slave would be killed if she was caught. ”

Cuizhu, who was lowering his head, shuddered when he heard this, Da Zhou strictly controlled the purchase of slaves, but the control of slaves was even stricter. Once a slave, it is really like a cat and dog raised by the master, and the birth, death, and sale are all carried out by the master's family. Unless the master's family has a kind heart and lets go of the deed, once they are caught running away without permission, life is worse than death, and even those who harbor fugitive slaves will be severely punished.

Shujie didn't care whether these people went or not, nodded immediately, and said to the neighbors: "Don't pay attention to them, let's go." ”

The cemetery they were going to was the entire burial land that Xia Linxuan bought before his death, and Xia Linxuan and the Zhao family were buried there. The White Monkey Mountain, where the cemetery is located, is still some distance away, and it takes nearly half an hour to walk down the mountain, and Donnie Yen's coffin is placed on a longboard car. The young Shuyao and Shuwen also sat on the cart and held the coffin.

Seeing the funeral procession walk out of Xitang Street, Lin hurriedly ran back to the courtyard: "Let's go, it's all gone, let's look for it quickly." Zhen Dafu jumped up from the ground in the corridor, saw Cuizhu who was still kneeling on the ground and was stunned, and kicked him violently: "Don't go to find your deed, I really want to be sold into the building?" Dayong won't go to the building to ransom you. "Lin Dayong is the younger brother of the Lin family, and he is also a good friend of Cuizhu.

Cuizhu woke up suddenly, and stood up suddenly, as long as she found the birth paper of the body deed and Shu Yao and Shuwen, she didn't have to be afraid, as for the official mansion, Shangshu Mansion would take care of it.

Lin grabbed Cuizhu, who was about to run to Shu Yao's room: "We have searched those two rooms, and there is nothing valuable." ”

Cuizhu was stunned: "It's impossible, the three of them each have a treasure chest, the deed and birth paper must be in the girl's treasure chest, she loves to put any treasure in it." By the way, there are still a lot of good things from Mrs. Weiyuan Hou in their house.

Zhen Dafu frowned: "There is indeed nothing inside, except for the house with two drawers locked, we have seen everything else." He raised his right hand and pointed to Shujie and Shuwen's room.

Cuizhu was shocked: "Are they all hiding?" Yesterday my wife said so much to the girl! ”

Lin scolded hatefully: "Didn't you say that Donnie Yen didn't notice anything? You idiot! If you had said that she had found out, we might have found another way, maybe we would have taken the things back earlier, and they wouldn't have been burned in vain. ”

Cuizhu was very aggrieved: "Everything was really normal before, but it wasn't until I went out yesterday that I realized that my wife seemed to avoid what I wanted to say to the eldest young master, I drove the eldest young master to Wu Langzhong's place before going out, Wu Langzhong said that my wife couldn't survive last night, and I felt that it didn't matter." Who knew that it had rained for so long in the road, and the wife had turned back to the light and said so many things to the girl. ”

Lin wanted to scold again, but Zhen Dafu waved his hand impatiently: "Let's hurry up and find something, there is just such a yard in total, where can the little girl hide things?"

They turned the three rooms upside down, and the two drawers in the scholar's house were pried open, but unfortunately, they were empty.

"Under the tree, the osmanthus tree," Cui Zhu suddenly shouted.

"What are you chirping? What osmanthus tree? Lin was taken aback, and slapped Cuizhu and scolded.

"Under the osmanthus tree," explained Cuizhu, "the girl did not know for a while what the story her wife told, and she liked to dig a pit under the osmanthus tree and bury things underneath. ”

Zhen Dafu's eyes lit up: "Yes, it must be, dig quickly." ”

The utility room was burned out, and there were no hoes and shovels to be found, so they brought spatulas and kitchen knives from the kitchen, and Cuizhu pointed the direction, and four people who followed them to dig around, but there was no way, the utensils were too small to make it hard.

Sure enough, some purses, small cardboard boxes, and oil-paper bags were soon dug up, but they were all small hairpins and the like, or a few strange small stones.

Finally, the spatula in the hand of one of the subordinates touched a hard object, and he poked to the side a few times: "Master, it seems to be a whole piece." ”

Zhen Dafu was excited: "Be careful, be careful, pick it up with your hands." "Little girl! Sure enough, everything is hidden here. A few of them are obsessed with money, so they don't use their brains to think about it, it was raining heavily before they arrived yesterday, how did Shu Yao, a six-year-old girl, dig a hole and hide treasure?

The four of them carefully picked it up for a while, and sure enough, a small square wooden box about a foot wide appeared. Zhen Dafu and Lin's eyes sparkled: "Dig it out, dig it out whole, be careful." ”

The small wooden box was dug out and was very light.

Zhen Dafu said: "How much can the birth paper and silver ticket weigh?" ”

Lin thought about it, isn't it? Suddenly pushed away the subordinate next to him with one hand, grabbed the wooden box and hugged it in his arms: "You all go away!" “

The subordinate was holding a kitchen knife in his hand, and was suddenly pushed, startled, and stepped back on the two round white pebbles that had just been dug up, and slammed the slippery person back, and the kitchen knife in his hand flew out, just as the blade smashed down on Zhen Dafu's right foot, and the blood suddenly gushed out, quickly dyeing the black cloth boots.

"Ah---h

The people who stayed at home to do things and did not go to the funeral hurriedly rushed into the courtyard of the Xia family, only to find that there was a mess everywhere, and a big pit had been dug under the osmanthus tree.

"What are you doing here? Why are you digging the yard of Shujie's house? What the hell are you people looking for? From yesterday to today. Qingfu, who had accompanied Shujie all night last night and didn't sleep, angrily pointed at Zhen Dafu and asked loudly.

Aunt Li's 8-year-old daughter Qiu Tao is very clever, she heard her parents and two brothers talking yesterday, and knew that these bad people wanted to snatch the things from Sister Shuyao's house, so she immediately ran to a few rooms to take a look, and came out to complain to the chief who had just arrived: "Uncle Zhang, these people went to Yao'er's sister's house to steal things, and the three rooms were turned into a mess, and the drawer was also picked. ”

The place where Li Changzhang Shiwen lives is separated from Xitang Street by two streets, and it happened that he accompanied his daughter-in-law to a neighboring county to see his sick mother-in-law who was not at home these days, and he came back very late last night. At this time, I just heard that the lady of the Xia family had gone, so I hurriedly ran over, only to know that the people of Lu Dao had already gone up the mountain. Xia Linxuan once saved Zhang Shiwen's life, and the relationship between the two families is very good. Zhang Shiwen was about to go home and call his daughter-in-law to rush to White Monkey Mountain together, when he heard Zhen Dafu's scream.

As a result, as soon as I entered the door, I saw the chaos in the yard and heard Qingfu's accusations, and I already knew that the people under the tree were not good things, and at this moment I heard Qiu Tao's complaint, and said angrily: "Neighbors, tie these people to the county office." ”

Yulin Town is on the border between the Daimyo Mansion City and Yulin County, and the county government of Yulin County is located in Yulin Town.

"Get out, I'm Donnie Yen's eldest brother, Shu Yao's uncle, and the master of this family, how do you like to turn it over, what's your business?" Zhen Dafu was about to die of pain, and someone was going to tie him up to the county office, so angry that he screamed.

"Hmph," Zhang Shiwen sneered, "When will the brother-in-law become the master of his brother-in-law's family?" I would like to ask the prefectural magistrate, when did we promulgate such a new decree in Dazhou? ”

Lin hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhen Dafu, and said with a grimace: "Don't, don't, this elder, he is faint in pain, don't worry about him." Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, we are looking for an ancestral jade pendant of our Zhen family, our old lady gave it to my aunt and grandmother in the early years, and now that my aunt is gone, we want to find it back and leave a memory for the old lady. It's not stealing, it's not stealing, if we find it, we have to discuss it with the Shuyao sisters and brothers. ”

Who doesn't know that Lord Yang, the county magistrate of Yulin County, and Xia Linxuan, the first catcher in Yulin, are worshipping brothers? Now that the birth papers have not been found, it is really a big trouble, and Shangshu Mansion will not help fish them out from the county office.

Zhen Dafu was secretly hated by the Lin family, his mind cleared up, and he hurriedly grinned with his teeth: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." ”

Mother, his feet are so fucking painful, are they broken? Turning his head and yelling at Cuizhu: "Get out of your mother, why don't you go to Wu Langzhong, do you want to see my uncle and my blood flow?" ”
