Chapter 328: Feng Accounts (2)
Ask for a ticket!
New week, come on, come on! ――
Steward Lin's movement was a little big at this time, and even Steward Xiaolin, who was standing on the side, was bluffed by him, Steward Xiaolin's heart was already weak, and when he saw his Lao Tzu's reaction, he was startled, so he could only clench his fists with both hands and lower his head and not look at people.
Steward Lin stood up, he also knew that it was inappropriate, he looked at Xia Yiqing, Xia Yiqing had already taken the teacup and sipped the tea slowly, and then looked at Mrs. Zheng, who was signaling to beat the other leg with the carved fence of the beauty.
The masters didn't look at him, as if they hadn't noticed his movements at all, but he knew in his heart that it wasn't the case.
At this moment, Steward Lin gritted his teeth, and could only take the call head-on: "Second master, the slave has no ability, and the good Zhuangzi can't control it, Qingya, the slave has lived for decades and is used to it, and he really can't move it when he is old, I'm afraid he will live up to the second master's good intentions." ”
Steward Lin said while paying attention to Xia Yiqing's expression.
"Yes." Xia Yiqing replied lightly.
Seeing that there seemed to be nothing wrong, the steward of Xiaolin was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he heard Xia Yiqing say again: "Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, there are mountains and rivers in the Qingya place, but nothing can be born, it's a pity." ”
Steward Lin laughed embarrassedly twice: "The land is barren, and there is no land on the mountain. ”
Xia Yiqing sneered, raised her eyes to stare at Steward Lin's eyes, her thin lips opened lightly, and said, "I opened the silver." ”
It was obviously winter, and the back of the forest steward was wet.
He avoided Xia Yiqing's gaze and lowered his head to look at his toes.
The master really knew about it.
The Lin family has guarded the Qingya Zhuangzi for a lifetime. Find a way to drive through the fields. Fruit trees have also been planted. Even in that water, I wish I could feed some fish, but every time it fails.
Mrs. Zheng didn't expect the income of Qingya Zhuangzi either, so Steward Lin didn't toss, so he was bitter, who told him to be assigned here.
It wasn't until the spring of four years ago that a burst of spring thunder hit the mountain, splitting many rocks. It's also called the rain rushing, and I can't come up with something that I haven't thought of.
A large tomb, I don't know if it was hundreds of years ago, there are many burial goods in the tomb.
The person below asked Steward Lin to take a look, and Steward Lin saw that his scalp was numb, and he couldn't stop waving his hand: "This thing is unlucky, bury it back quickly." ”
Steward Lin was this idea, and Steward Xiaolin was moved, and because Lao Tzu was not easy to do, he hated it.
The Lin family father and son don't want it. The dealers don't care, they see that the valuable ones are going to be sent to the bottom of the mountain to sell. In this place of Meizhou, there is some money, but it is all some dirt buns, and I don't understand the vases and porcelain bowls that are stained with mud and cracks, and I sell a few pieces of jade for some money.
The monks had more porridge and less porridge, and the villagers who did not make a cheap profit were annoyed, so they divided into several groups of people to go up the mountain and dig a few tombs to come out, who knew that the tomb was not dug up, but they found a silver mine.
Although it is not a rich mine, it is better to be close to the surface, and it is a great wealth for Qingya Zhuangzi.
It stands to reason that the discovery of gold and silver mines was to inform the main family, and the main family then informed the imperial court, but the Lin family father and son finally hid it.
Qingya this place, Mrs. Zheng has not been here for decades, and it will never be possible to come in the future, there are only a few farms under the mountain, and the town is far away, not to mention the big city, that is, someone has gone up the mountain, which stretches for dozens of miles, who knows that there is a mine here?
I thought I was hiding it well, but nothing happened over the years.
Behold......
Steward Lin smiled dryly: "What did the second master say?" ”
"Zhuangzi goes up the northwest mountain for fifteen miles." Xia Yiqing spoke very slowly.
In just a few words, it was like a blunt knife, which cut back and forth on Steward Lin's chest, painful, and painful.
Xia Yiqing was able to tell the exact location of the entrance to the mine, obviously not to lie to him, but to really know it.
Steward Lin's legs trembled, and he thought a lot about it when he looked at Xia Yiqing, who was sitting there talking about it calmly.
Ten years ago, he heard Mrs. Zheng say that she wanted to hand over a few shops to Xia Yiqing in the coming year, and he had no right to put his beak in the affairs of the owner, but he was thinking in his heart, he was too anxious.
In the second year after that, he came to Yongzhou, and listened to the shopkeeper of several shops of the Xia family, Xia Erye was not easy to deal with, he smiled, this has nothing to do with him, first, Qingya Zhuangzi is Mrs. Zheng's, and secondly, there is really no oil and water to fish in that place.
Five years ago, he came to Yongzhou for the last time, and the silver mine was discovered in the following year, so he never went down the mountain, only let his son come to Yongzhou every year.
This time, Mrs. Zheng called him over, he only thought that he was "exiled" to the Fang family in Qingya Zhuangzi, who knew that he actually asked the owner to catch the handle.
It's just that there has been no movement in the past few years, so why did it suddenly ......
Steward Lin thought of Fang Huaide.
If it weren't for the arrangement of people in the Zhuangzi, how could they even know the location of the mine?
Could it be that this Huaide ancestor is an inside line sent by the owner?
At first, he didn't suspect it, but when he came back to the capital to visit the letter, he said that it was indeed Fang Xianyu and his mother-in-law who stole and burned the treasury, and he often heard the Fang Huaide family, who was not accustomed to the water and soil, crying and scolding his daughter-in-law for losing the reputation of the Fang family for several generations of loyalty.
But if it wasn't the Fang family, which one would it be?
Steward Lin couldn't figure it out for a while, but the matter had come to this point, so he could only kneel down first.
Before Steward Lin's knees hit the ground, Mrs. Zheng had already spoken up, and she said: "Old Lin, you are also a rare trip, and with your two little grandchildren, you simply live in Yongzhou for a few months, which is also to let them have a long experience." ”
This is not to keep them, but to detain people, but Steward Lin couldn't say a word "no", he could only tearfully thank Mrs. Zheng for her grace, and then grabbed Steward Xiaolin's hand tightly, and took the two grandsons to the place that Mrs. Zheng arranged for their family.
When the Lin family walked away, Mrs. Zheng stroked her chest and took a breath: "The rest of the matter, Yiqing, you can arrange it." ”
Xia Yiqing should go.
The Lin family was detained, and when they were sitting in Tingfeng Garden, the people on the Qingya Zhuangzi brought by them had already been detained by Daybrocade.
Xia Yiqing went to the study in the front yard. Dayjin replied. and waited to be told.
"Bring men. Rushed to Qingya Zhuangzi overnight. ”
If Steward Lin's family hadn't returned to Meizhou on time a few years ago, Zhuangzi would have been suspicious, and then it would have been troublesome. And there is no town for them in Zhuangzi, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no Zhuang households taking the opportunity to cause trouble, in case the matter of the ore vein is poked out and the government knows, the Xia family will not be able to eat and walk around.
Dayjin knew that this matter was urgent, so he did it without stopping.
Yun Zai glanced at the hour and asked Xia Yiqing, "Second master." Is lunch served here, or is it going back to the courtyard? ”
Xia Yiqing pressed his eyebrows: "Let's go back to Tianyi Courtyard." ”
Tianyi Courtyard knew that Xia Yiqing would come back for lunch, so it was arranged.
Buyue took the food from the kitchen, warmed it in the small kitchen, and waited for Xia Yiqing to come back and send it to the main house to set the table.
Zhen Xuan flipped through the account book sent by Steward Mao, this account was written by Qingya, Qingya didn't know many words, she only learned the words to be recognized for making accounts, her words were not good-looking, but neat.
Zhen Xuan just finished turning over a volume. Xia Yiqing arrived.
asked the chess player to bring water to Xia Yiqing to clean his hands, and ordered Xing Aya to take people to set the meal.
Neither of them ate fast. There are a lot of dishes sent from the kitchen, and in the end, the rest is divided by a few maids.
Xia Yiqing rinsed her mouth, raised her eyes and saw Zhen Xuan holding her chin and looking at him for a moment, raised her eyebrows and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"Second master has something to worry about?" Zhen Xuan asked, "I heard that Qingya Zhuangzi came to serve the account, is it that Fang Xianyu and they are not honest?" ”
Xia Yiqing helped Zhen Xuan back to sit on the couch and said, "It's not a big deal, don't worry." ”
Zhen Xuan didn't believe him, pulled the corner of Xia Yiqing's clothes, and waited for him to explain in the eyes.
looked at each other, and finally Xia Yiqing admitted defeat, let out a long breath, and sent the people in the room out. The chess was at the end, and when he was about to go out of the east room, he heard Xia Yiqing say: "You don't have to guard the main house, you guard the outside of the chess." ”
After a pause, he didn't have time to digest the doubts in his heart, turned around, and went out again.
Zhen Xuan couldn't help but be serious, Xia Yiqing was so cautious, what he wanted to say would not be a trivial matter.
"Two years ago, my grandmother noticed that something was wrong with Qingya Zhuangzi and asked me to send someone to investigate, and as a result, they started mining silver mines privately four years ago."
Zhen Xuan was startled, opened her mouth, and swallowed "private mining" and "silver ore" into her stomach.
Xia Yiqing continued: "Qingya Zhuangzi has not used manpower for decades, there is no evidence and no clues, so let people search the mountain. ”
Xia Yiqing said half of this, but Zhen Xuan understood it, the kind of old Zhuangzi in the mountains, the villagers are all of the same heart, and they have mutual interests, no one will penetrate the news, take people to search the mountains wantonly, this news leaked to the government, and the entire Xia family may have to pay for it.
For two years, Mrs. Zheng and Xia Yiqing have been waiting for an opportunity.
"So send Fang Huaide's family to Qingya Zhuangzi?" Zhen Xuan asked.
Xia Yiqing nodded: "Their father and son are quite clear in this matter. ”
Fang Huaide and Steward Lin had known each other before, and Fang Huaide's family had committed an accident and were sent there, and Steward Lin would be much less wary of them than sending another person over.
Fang Xianyu discovered Zhuangzi's secret, and he grasped the opportunity to make up for his mistakes very firmly, so he sent the idea back to Yongzhou.
What Xia Yiqing needs is the exact location of this mine, this time Dayjin went to Meizhou, and the Fang family responded internally, and controlled Zhuangzi to find the mine, and he could breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhen Xuan asked softly, "What about the Fang family?" The second master still plans to use them? ”
"The Fang family is grandmother's people." Xia Yiqing shook her head, "Grandmother won't use them anymore." However, the Fang family is a child, and Fang Xianyu knows very well that he can only stay in Qingya Zhuangzi as an idler in this life, but he still has a son, and he is looking for a way for his son. ”
When Zhen Xuan heard this, she understood in her heart, and turned her words back to the ore vein: "Does the second master want to notify the government?" ”
Before the words fell, Zhen Xuan saw Xia Yiqing's lips pursed, her heart tightened inexplicably, and she asked tentatively: "Is the second master going to hide it?" (To be continued......)
