After getting into the carriage, Xi Muyun asked Cuiyun and said, "Have you gone to check?" ”

Cuiyun nodded, "According to what Miss said, those wooden parts are also carved decently, as if they were made by carpenters, so I went to investigate, the village is not big, there is only one person who does carpentry work, called Zhang Gui, according to your orders, we just investigated the periphery, and did not alarm them." ”

"Good." Xi Muyun nodded slightly, "This Zhang Gui, it is estimated that there is a problem, you let people stare at him a little bit to see if he has contact with anyone, or the idea of pulling a water wheel pump again." ”

Cuiyun immediately said: "I found a reliable person to keep an eye on, and once there is a problem, I will immediately return to it." ”

Xi Duyun sighed, a slight tiredness between her eyebrows, "I knew that doing business would not be smooth sailing, but I didn't expect that there would be problems so soon." ”

Cuiyun hurriedly pinched Xi Muyun's shoulder, "Miss really doesn't have to be so tired, she has become the wife of the pavilion master, what do you want." ”

"Love is equal, so that in married life, no one is inferior to the other, I want to be a woman who can fight with him, not a flower under his wing, without wind and rain." Xi Duyun said righteously.

Even if this is ancient times, the women here all uphold the concept of marrying a chicken with a chicken, marrying a dog with a dog, marrying a wife can only teach her husband and children at home, three from four virtues, but she is different, she comes from enlightened modern times, and it is impossible to be assimilated here.

What's more, the knowledge she learned in modern times can be used here, no one will be willing to be mediocre, as long as there is a bigger stage, she can shine.

Cuiyun pinched her shoulders for her, pouted and said, "I'm also distressed that Miss is too hard, you see how tricky those people are, it's obviously not our problem." ”

"Some problems are better in the early stage, and if such problems occur when the business is bigger, it will not be good." Xi Duyun said with a smile.

Their career has just started, and it is still in the development period, and it is the time to do publicity and promotion, and there can be no problems at this time.

Cuiyun sighed, poured a cup of tea for Xi Muyun and said, "Miss, let's go back." ”

Xi Duyun nodded, "The so-called catching thieves and taking stolen goods, you let people watch it, and notify me as soon as there is news." ”

In the past two days, I have been building a factory again, and I am taking care of the original business of Tangxin Pavilion, and I am really a little tired, and now I just want to go back and lie on the bed and sleep well.

Two days later, Cuiyun hurriedly ran to say that there was news over there, and that the carpenter was indeed a thief, knowing that they had replaced them with new parts, and wanted to steal them, and was caught on the spot.

Cuiyun followed Xi Muyun's instructions and made a big deal about it on the spot, letting everyone know that Zhang Gui in their village was a thief, stealing his parts and selling them, harming the interests of the whole village.

When Xi Duyun arrived, Zhang Gui was tied up by the people in the village and thrown on the ground, and the village chief squatted aside, constantly smoking the tobacco he made, and the smell of choking smoke was enough to make people uncomfortable even in an open space.

She wrinkled her nose and didn't say anything, just looked at Zhang Gui, "This is what the people in your village paid for, and you are so bad?" ”

Zhang Gui didn't speak, his head hanging very low.

Xi Duyun looked at the village chief, "The reason why I didn't tell the truth last time was because I didn't startle the snake and make the real thief think that I was afraid of being implicated because of quality problems, so I didn't tell the truth." ”

The village chief knocked the cigarette ash on the ground, sighed and said, "I know, Miss Xi is also kind, and now that this has happened, I really don't know what to say." ”

Xi Duyun looked at Zhang Gui, "You did this alone?" ”

Zhang Gui nodded, "Yes." ”

"Just for the money?" Xi Duyun asked. Beautiful

Zhang Gui continued to nod and said numbly: "Yes." ”

"And how much did you sell these things for? Where is it used? Xi Duyun continued to ask.

"I sold it for twelve taels of silver." Zhang Gui hesitated for a moment and continued: "I have already spent all this money, and I have gambled it all. ”

"Twelve taels of silver, who did you sell it to?" Xi Duyun felt a little funny, although those parts were made of iron, but they only accounted for a large part of the cost of the entire machine, converted into labor, the total cost was only about twelve taels, and he could have twelve taels if he sold these irons, which was really unbelievable.

When he said this, it made people think that half of what he said was false.

Zhang Gui bit his lip, and after a long time, he said: "It's those people who collect iron, random buyers, and I don't know who he is." ”

"Did you know that stealing is a felony and can be punished by a few years in prison? If you tell the truth now, maybe I will consider interceding for you and bearing the loss, but if you don't tell the truth, then I can't do anything. Xi Duyun was gracious, hoping that he would understand what he meant.

From the twelve silver, she could see that the problem was wrong, what kind of iron collector would be so stupid as to buy a pile of scrap iron with twelve taels of silver, not to mention that the iron itself was not worth twelve taels.

She felt more and more that something was wrong in her heart, but she didn't know where to start, she could only look forward to hearing the truth from Zhang Gui's mouth.

Zhang Gui gritted his teeth and still didn't say a word.

Xi Duyun nodded, "Okay then, I can only send it to the government." ”

As soon as Zhang Gui heard this, he immediately crawled in front of the village chief, hugged his leg tightly, and begged: "Uncle, Uncle Zhang, I beg you, I grew up watching you since I was a child, can you let this woman send me to the government." ”

The village chief put the cigarette aside, "I don't look at what I did, I'm embarrassed to beg for mercy here, Miss Xi is right, people like you who steal and harm the interests of the village should be sent to the government to be arrested." ”

After the village chief finished speaking, he paused, and then turned his head to look like Xi Muyun, "But Miss Xi, what Zhang Gui said is right, he is just greedy for a while, after all, it is the offspring of our village, I have watched them grow up, so I can't really send them to the official mansion, right?" ”

Xi Duyun looked at the village chief and knew that he couldn't help but sell him a face, so he smiled and said: "To be honest, I shouldn't have interfered in this matter, but you also know that my loss this time was also relatively serious, and if this matter was revealed at that time, I really couldn't explain who changed the parts here, but fortunately I caught the culprit, otherwise I would have been wronged." ”

The village chief also felt a little embarrassed, "We have wronged Miss Xi in this matter, I am really sorry." ”

Xi Duyun smiled and shook his head, "It's good that the water is clear, you can't be too careful, otherwise you will be unhappy, but this money, you have to let Zhang Gui pay for it, otherwise, this matter is still related to my interests, and I have the right to send him to the government." ”

"This is natural, Zhang Gui still doesn't pay the money to Miss Xi." The village chief said immediately.

Zhang Gui gritted his teeth, "I said that the money is gone." ”

"If you don't have it, you have to find a way to earn it and pay it to me, I don't want you twelve taels of silver, I only need eight taels of silver, which is enough to give you face." Xi Duyun couldn't help but sneer.

Zhang Gui took a breath, "I want to find a way." ”

Xi Duyun got up and said, "Village Chief, then I'll go first, if there is any quality problem in the future, you can send someone to find Li Gongzi, or I can do it, I will find someone to solve it." ”

The village chief nodded, "Okay." ”

"There are thousands of precautions, and it is difficult to prevent thieves, so the village chief should be careful." Xi Duyun reminded him one last time, and then turned to leave.
