Chapter 152: Account Books
"Take it with me." At this time, several yacha took out Li Zhengping from Mozhuang, and a long iron chain was locking Li Zhengping's neck. The head catcher waved his hand heavily at this time.
"Wait, this poor master, I don't know what crime my Zhengping nephew is guilty of? Grab it like this? At this time, Li Jingfu squeezed out of the crowd, and at this time, it was most appropriate for him, an elder, to come out and speak.
"If you want to catch the master, you can catch it, if you have something to say, go and tell the master in the house." At this time, the head catcher looked at Li Jingfu again: "What, you want to resist arrest?" β
"This adult said that he laughed, we just wanted to ask clearly about the arrest of Weishenme?" Zhen Niang stepped forward and said.
"Complicity in homicide." When the head catcher saw Li Zhenniang, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, this Li girl was also a figure in Nanjing, and the worship of the princess's mansion was not something he could provoke casually, of course, he was on a mission, and he was not afraid of anyone.
"What about the evidence?" The flowers on the side said a little timidly, the common people, when they see the official errand, there are few who are not afraid.
"Heh, you little lady is ridiculous, I'm only responsible for taking people, but I don't care about the trial, I want evidence, and I want to go to the old man." The head catcher said, didn't pay attention to Zhen Niang and the others, and left with Li Zhengping.
It's just that Li Zhengping passed by Zhen Niang, but he stopped desperately: "I was wronged, Sister Ge Qiu was also wronged, we didn't kill anyone." β
"It's still a dead duck with a hard mouth, my husband was killed by you and Sister Ge Qiu's girl. I entered the yamen and sentenced you to be decided. At this time, Cao rushed out of the crowd, and Han and Li Zhengping kicked and bitten.
"Where's the crazy woman?" On the other hand, Li Jingfu was blocked by the head-catcher's words, and he was depressed. Then. Cao rushed out to hit Li Zhengping. He couldn't look at it, so he stretched out his arm and pulled hard, pulling Cao Shi to a butt pier.
He also glared at the Cao family: "Now it's just asking about the case, and you haven't been convicted yet, who are you from the big lord's family in the house?" The crime that the eldest lord has not yet convicted, you have already helped the eldest lord to convict? I don't even know how to judge, I think it's up to you to do the position of the big master, right? β
"You're talking nonsense." Cao Shi heard Li Jingfu say this, it was really a big bluff. If these words reach the eldest master, then she will be finished.
"Am I talking nonsense? Oh, or you have a grudge against my nephew Zhengping, and deliberately framed him, oh, by the way, or, your husband's husband was killed by you and your concubine, before I think about it, wasn't Ge Dana killed by you and the yellow wolf? Oh. It's not uncommon to do it again. β
Li Jingfu spent more than ten years in the gambling house, and then spent two years in the North Mine. That has been stained with some scoundrel habits, and Li Zhengping's previous affairs, when he was in Huizhou, Li Yingfu also heard about it, and at this time, a few specious reasons were also similar, and the angry Cao was only shouting and spewing blood, but he couldn't explain it clearly.
Only gritted his teeth: "You, you, your ......." "I can't say a word of all the words.
And there is also a whisper around, although Sister Ge Qiu has more reasons to kill people, but most people generally support the weak, Sister Ge Qiu has fallen to the point where she is now, isn't she the weak, plus what the yellow wolf and the Cao family did before is also a little disdainful, and now it is said that Sister Ge Qiu killed people and lacks evidence, and Sister Ge Qiu's crime has not been convicted for a long time, but this Cao family is a strong foundation, so, Li Jingfu's remarks have added a new conjecture and annotation to the case, so everyone also guessed, This may be an impossibly thing, didn't the yellow wolf carry two concubines into the door recently, Cao scolded angrily, the two have been making trouble for a while, if Cao is angry and another concubine kills the yellow wolf, it is not impossible.
Even the head catcher looked at Cao with a different expression.
Cao Shi only felt that he couldn't say that he was suffering, so he said straight to the head catcher: "Poor master, you have to be the master for the woman." β
"Can I handle you?" Then he also ignored Cao's again, and directly asked Li Zhengping to leave.
"Please wait." At this time, Zhenniang shouted again.
The catcher turned his head and glared at her, but Zhen Niang was smiling, took out a small bag of broken silver from his body, and stuffed it into the hand of the poor master: "My cousin is a sincere and well-behaved person, please take care of it more, this bit of silver, I will trouble you to get up and take a few poor masters to have a drink." β
Zhen Niang's words provoked the head catcher to look at her a few more times. Not to mention, it's no wonder that Li's Mozhuang can be run by a girl, not to mention anything else, just such a human relationship and sophistication can also gain a foothold in Nanjing.
"Oh, there are also those who know the numbers, Cheng, I will invite the brothers to eat and drink on behalf of the shopkeeper." The head catcher. Then he said to a few yachas: "Generally no eyesight, didn't you listen to what Shopkeeper Li said, her cousin is a sincere and well-behaved person, let's not embarrass him, let's get off the chain." β
βhaodeγβ A few yacha had already heard that there was wine to drink, and this time they responded with a smile. Their usual oil and water are in these small means, the same is to take people, with iron chains and without iron chains are two different things, without iron chains is naturally relaxed, but with iron chains, the iron chains are dead and heavy, this has to go all the way to the yamen, and the neck can be strangled with blood.
Seeing that Li Zhengping was easily taken by the yacha, while Hua'er said to Zhenniang gratefully: "It's still what Sister Zhenniang thinks, so that my eldest brother can suffer less in it." β
On the one hand, Li Jingfu was also staring at this time, he used to break the jar and break the jar, he was either drinking or gambling all day long, and he didn't care about Zhenniang, but then he suddenly repented, but he went to Suzhou, and he didn't know much about Zhenniang's daughter, and when he came back to get along for a few days, he only knew that this daughter was independent, but he didn't know that this daughter was such a person.
This girl, no wonder the seventh aunt is relieved to hand over Ruoda Nanjing Mozhuang to her, but she is a little better than him as a father.
Zhenniang doesn't know her father's thoughts, as for stuffing silver into the yacha or something, one is taught by TV in later generations, and the other is also the blessing of Li Jingfu's cheap father.
At the beginning, Li Jingfu owed a lot of debts outside, and the eldest brother was honest and dull, and his mother was still there to clean up the mess, and she sometimes had to act with her own mother on the side. These methods have been mastered unconsciously. The ancients had a saying. It is good for the children of the poor to be in charge of the house at an early age.
Then he beckoned everyone into Mozhuang, and beckoned people to help unload the goods.
At this time, Luo Wenqian, who was standing in the crowd, wrinkled his eyebrows and watched Li Zhengping being taken away, from Wei Wanwan's concubine being beaten, to the sudden death of the yellow wolf, and then to Sister Ge Qiu's case Li Zhengping being implicated, I always felt that there was something unusual in this, but this was just this. He had just come back from Huizhou, his eyes were black, and he couldn't touch anything for a while.
However, it is best to remind Zhen Niang that Wei Million may be implicated, there is a preparation, besides, this girl seems to have a good relationship with Xu Hai Niangzi, and she can also ask her to help inquire, thinking about it, he stepped forward.
Zhenniang greeted him naturally.
"Go inside. Here's one thing. Luo Wenqian said, Bento went to Mozhuang first. Zhen Niangzi also followed in, and led Luo Wenqian into the elegant seat where he was appreciating ink. Let the flowers make tea again.
"No need, I haven't returned to the money bank yet, I'll leave after speaking." Luo Wenqian said and then said: "I inquired about the whole thing, it is said that on the night of the fourth day of the new year, Wei Million invited people from the raw silk industry to eat and drink, last year the raw silk industry made a lot of money, and the yellow wolf was also an example, and that night, Wei Million had a concubine in the house, and was later arrested and killed on the spot, however, someone saw that the yellow wolf had a meeting with the little concubine, and then the next morning, the news of the death of the yellow wolf came, and soon after, Sister Ge Qiu was imprisoned, and Li Zhengping was implicated today. β
Luo Wenqian simply took the whole vein.
"You mean to say that the one who killed the yellow wolf could be Wei Million?" Zhen Niang asked in her heart, but she didn't expect that there would be such a thing behind the death of the yellow wolf. At the same time, he glanced at Luo Wenqian in surprise, this guy arrived in Nanjing with him, and he only worked hard for a while, but he almost touched the matter.
"No, not necessarily, if it was really Wei Wanwan's person who killed the yellow wolf, then this matter would not get bigger and bigger, in short, I don't know much now, just arrived like you, and my eyes were black, these are also what I heard from people, telling you these is just to give you a wake-up call and make more preparations." Luo Wenqian said, then got up to say goodbye, he still has a lot of things to do.
"Okay, I got it." Zhenniang nodded and sent Luo Wenqian out, there are not many xiexies for Luo Wenqian, sometimes too much thanks are gone.
Then Zhenniang took someone to sort out the goods and something, and then gathered the people in the family and asked Li Zhengping about it.
After Luo Wenqian's explanation before, she also knew the whole context of the death of the yellow wolf, but how did this matter involve Li Zhengping, but Zhenniang didn't know, so she asked again: "On the fifth day of the first month, I remember that it was the day when Mozhuang's furnace raised lamps, right?" β
After the beginning of spring every year, Mozhuang will pass the winter break period, plus the New Year's holiday, there is a furnace shutdown period, so after the beginning of the spring, each Mozhuang will have a warm furnace to raise lights, in fact, this is the same as the spring festival of agriculture, it is a blessing day for the ink industry.
The Li family's warm furnace lantern raising day is set on the fifth day of the first month, and the fifth day of the first month starts from the ugly time to the morning hour.
"Yes, on the night of the fourth day of the new year, we didn't sleep all night, and then as soon as the ugly hour of the fifth day of the new year passed, we began to prepare for the warm furnace to raise the lamp." Master Ma on the side said.
"Then since this is the case, doesn't it show that Brother Zhengping has been with everyone all the time, and he doesn't have time to partner with Sister Ge Qiu to kill people." Zhenniang said with a frown.
"That's the case, it's just that when Yin was right, Sister Ge Qiu came to Li Zhengping, and the lady Yao next door happened to come early in the morning to beg for a brazier, and asked Li Zhengping and Sister Ge Qiu to leave when she saw her." Sister-in-law Ma said helplessly.
As soon as she heard this, it was over, Zhen Niang patted her forehead a little irritably, in this way, wouldn't it be more true that Sister Ge Qiu and Li Zhengping had an accomplice to commit crimes, and in the end, it was not an accomplice, at least Li Zhengping knew about it, no wonder the yamen directly took people.
"By the way, just now, did Zhengping leave anything before he was taken away?" At this time, Li Jingfu on the side asked.
He didn't say anything. The yacha came in a hurry. While Master Ma was thinking, the sister-in-law on the other side said: "Oh, by the way, just now, before the yamen entered the door, Brother Zhengping told me a word. β
"What?" Zhen Niang hurriedly asked.
"It is said that the virgin girl ordered it before she left last year, and the glue boiling stove in the small ink workshop is specially made, and it will not be warm until the virgin girl comes back, so let's not move." Sister-in-law Ma said.
"Oh." Li Jingfu didn't say anything when he heard this. Obviously, Zhengping entrusted some matters at hand.
But Zhenniang couldn't help frowning. She remembered that she hadn't told Li Zhengping what to say.
"Okay, let's do it for the time being, Ergou during this time, you take a few people to inquire about things related to the case, I'll sort out the birthday ink here, and I'll hand over the ink first." Zhen Niang pressed the doubts in her heart and said, the ink of the princess's mansion cannot be delayed.
"Then do you want to write to my mother and my father?" At this time, Hua'er on the side asked, speaking of which, when she went home this time, her mother scolded the eldest brother in her ear, saying that the eldest brother was fascinated by the fox spirit of Sister Ge Qiu. After all, how hard to say is that word.
"Well, let's wait and see for two more days, and I'm not in a hurry to do it on this day or two." Zhenniang thought for a moment. Actually, if you want to come back, what if Li Jingming and his wife know? There are not too many or two people who are worried together, and there is nothing they can do.
"Hmm." The flower nodded.
And then they went about their own work.
"Dad, you rest first, I'll go to the ink shop in the backyard to have a look." Zhenniang said to Li Jingfu.
"Okay, you can keep yourself busy, if you need your father to come forward, you can tell your father." Li Jingfu said.
"Yes, Haode." Zhenniang nodded, Daddy is still blind to the things in Mozhuang, so he doesn't need to interfere for the time being, and the more he helps, the more he helps.
Then Zhen Niang went to the ink shop in the backyard, but she went directly into the small ink shop inside, she wanted to see what was in the stove of the little ink shop? Li Zhengping didn't let others move.
A large cauldron, there is a steaming drawer on it, it is used to steam glue, because the stove is not yet warm, the whole stove is particularly cold, Zhen Niang looked around the stove for a long time, and did not see anything unusual, and the stove was dark and could not be seen clearly, so Zhen Niang simply lit a torch, carefully stretched into the stove, and the inside suddenly lit up, at this time Zhen Niang only faced the side of the stove, there was a brick that seemed to be staggered, so Zhen Niang took out a long pair of fire tongs, pulled out the brick, and immediately there was a booklet shownZhenniang was startled, and hurriedly withdrew the torch, and then took the fire tongs and took out the booklet by a little torch.
Then Zhenniang sat on the stove, opened the booklet, and looked at it carefully, and this look, the heart sank.
This is a book of accounts of Wei million, weaving yamen and local county yamen on the profits of raw silk cocoons. (To be continued......)
