Before everyone was sent away, Old Man Zhang saw Zhang Ling walking out with red eyes:

"Daddy, I don't have a lover!"

She thought that she was going to be married to the evil young man of Naxiling, which was the most miserable thing in her life.

Who would have thought that he would ...... Refused.

Listening to the random speculation of her uncles and uncles outside the hall, the little girl's heart was broken.

I am innocent and clean, how can I be as unbearable as they say!

Old Man Zhang touched Zhang Ling's head with a loving face:

"It's okay, since Hou Shigui doesn't open his eyes, I will let him know that our Zhang family is not comparable to the untouchables who let him bully and beat him and can't fight back and scold him on weekdays."

Hearing this, Zhang Ling panicked:

"Daddy, what are you going to do? Hou Shigui's father is a doctor of Shangshu! ”

"For the father, you don't have to think about it."

After getting this explanation, Zhang Ling gave up and returned to the boudoir, thinking left and right, and felt that she was innocent.

Because of Hou Shigui's refusal, those uncles and uncles looked at me like this.

In a few days, I am afraid that the entire Linben County will spread these rumors.

It's all to blame for that Hou Shigui!

She was so angry that she couldn't eat, so she stayed alone in the room and sulked.

Until nightfall, a villain came to report that his father had prepared a gift for himself.

I watched as seven or eight men carried a large sandbag into the room.

After they put down the sandbag, someone stepped forward to open the sandbag, only to see a delicate and cute girl with a disgraced face inside:

"You...... Who are you? ”

No one answered her question, but those subordinates turned to Zhang Lingyan and said:

"Miss, this is Chun'er, the maidservant of the Hou Mansion who rode the same horse with Hou Shigui today.

The lord ordered me to tie him up and let the young lady out. ”

Zhang Ling was angry at this time, and when she saw Chun'er, she was even more angry:

"That little thief actually likes a like you?!"

As soon as Chun'er heard it, she knew why.

Today's noon ride with the son was a joke by many people.

He explained:

"The girl misunderstood, the little boy is just ......"

Before the words fell, he suddenly felt a stinging pain in his neck, and was about to raise his hand to touch it, when blood sizzled and splashed from the neck wound.

"Help me...... I...... Don't want to...... Don't want to die ......"

Chun'er was lying in a pool of blood, afraid and unwilling.

The good days have just come, and my father and mother also said that they want to find a good family for me, and the little boy will be fine, and today he told me that the future will be better and better......

Why...... I don't want to die......

"Miss...... You ......"

The servants were also stunned, originally the old man meant, just to let the young lady teach this cheap maid a lesson.

After all, she is just a servant girl, and she won't say anything if she wants to come to the Hou family if she is tied up and beaten.

Can ...... now

Zhang Ling watched Chun'er, who was lying in a pool of blood, her face gradually lose blood, and her breathing became weaker and weaker.

Then his whole body trembled, and as if frightened, he threw the bloody scissors on the ground:

"Daddy...... Call my daddy! ”

By the time Old Man Zhang heard the news and hurried over, Chun'er had already lost his breath and turned into a cold corpse.

"Daddy save me, I killed this, Hou Shigui's thief will not let me go!"

Seeing her father coming, Zhang Ling ran forward to hug her father and snuggled in her father's arms like a frightened child.

Old Man Zhang has experienced a lot of scenes, and when he saw this scene, his face did not change, and he only said lightly:

"It's okay, it's just a cheap maid, how can the Hou Mansion come to trouble my Zhang Mansion because of a cheap maid? Kill and kill. ”

However, he still instructed the servants around him not to tell the matter, and asked them to carry Chun'er's body to a mass grave outside the county and throw it away.

When he had done all this, he commanded:

"Ling'er, remember, you have been staying in the boudoir today, no one has come to look for you, you have never gone out, and you have never seen or heard of this."

Zhang Ling nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

When the servant had cleaned the room of blood, she sat back on the bed, the remorse in her eyes flashing.

In its place was endless rage:

Hou Shigui, you have ruined my reputation, I will not only kill your maidservant, but also ruin your reputation! Doom!

She didn't think that Hou Shigui had already been ruined, so why did she need to do more?

Early the next morning, I saw that my father was going to the Hou Mansion to give gifts.

She also deliberately changed into men's clothes, dressed up and mixed into the entourage, and followed her father all the way to the Hou Mansion.

Hou Shigui greeted him outside the Hou Mansion early in the morning, and even pushed the teacher's morning class for this reason.

After all, it's not something that happens very often when someone comes to give them money.

After welcoming Mr. Zhang into the house and being polite to each other, I listened to Mr. Zhang's words:

"That day, the words in the mansion were vulgar, and he contradicted Hou Gongzi, so the old man prepared some small gifts and came to confess."

After speaking, present the gift sheet.

Hou Shigui took the gift sheet and looked at it, all kinds of rare treasures are counted, and the silver is only 1,500 taels?

But the deficit of the money in the house has now reached more than 2,000 and nearly 3,000 taels.

That's it, and he still owes a lot of the 'bonuses' he once promised.

Hou Shigui's brain is not a computer, and if he wanted to do something in ancient times, it was naturally impossible to do it at one time.

If he hadn't written a paper about the new farming implement, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to build the new farming implement.

Even if it is a perfume given to Wang Zhen, it is a failure.

Under the persistence of repeated failures, the money was naturally spent like flowing water.

However, no matter how small the fly is, it is still meat, and 1,500 taels can make up for half of the deficit.

ordered Xiang Xu to send those rare treasures to his mother's room, and ordered Bao Ji to look at the silver money and go to Steward Lu.

Hou Shigui smiled at this time:

"Since I have received the elder's gift, I won't go around in circles, the elder is here to ask why the county lord suddenly asked me to reduce the rent of the Hou Mansion, right?"

Getting to the point, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but straighten his waist:

"Did Hou Gongzi teach me?"

Hou Shigui stroked the tea cup, his voice was as gentle as jade, but the words that could be said made Old Man Zhang shocked:

"I instructed the county honor."

Old Man Zhang was stunned and smiled awkwardly:

"Hou Gongzi Mo is joking with the old man."

He instructed Xie Jing? That Xie Jing was still afraid of him before, but the last time he was tried together, he didn't know about it.

The two of them are already filthy and don't deal with each other, how can he command Xie Jing?

This is also one of the reasons why Mr. Zhang did not suspect that the rent reduction was done by the Hou Mansion.

In his opinion, this rent reduction is likely to be Xie Jing's retaliation against the Hou Mansion.

Hou Shigui said this, just for the sake of face.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Hou Shigui said again:

"The second brother and his mother operated privately, and hung the credit for the rent reduction on Xie Jing's head to protect me.

In order to make it less troublesome, I am happy to see it happen.

But since I have received your money today, I will tell you the truth, and as for whether you believe it or not, it is your business. ”

After sending Old Man Zhang away, Lu Xingan walked up to Hou Shigui and asked:

"Childe, did you really tell them the truth?"
