Chapter 11 Thieves are difficult to prevent
"I wonder if my aunt ever gave Mr. Cao a lot of money to buy a house in the outer city and a field outside the city?" Zhang Junping didn't go around the bend and asked directly.
As soon as he heard Zhang Junping's question, Cao Li couldn't hold on any longer, and fell to his knees with a puff.
When the second lady heard this, she suddenly raised her eyebrows, her apricot eyes widened, and she shouted angrily: "You Diao slave, I trust you and let you be in charge of the account room, you ...... How dare you embezzle the money of your house? ”
"Little lady, little lady, the little one is confused for a while, and please ask the little lady to serve the little lady for the sake of the little lady, and there is no merit and hard work...... Cao Li lay on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Come on, take down this Diao slave for me, beat twenty first, and then force him to ask how much money he has in the house of the embezzler, and let him spit it out for me!" The second lady ignored Cao Li's plea for mercy and shouted loudly.
Two old servants came in from outside the door, stepped forward to pick up Cao Li and walked out.
Zhang Junping is really impressed by these two aunts.
With this decisive character, marrying the second uncle is really blind.
"Da Lang, the old man originally arranged for Cao Li to be in charge of the account room, but it was also because Zhang Bao died of a sudden illness, and there was no one under his hand to take advantage of it for a while, so he was temporarily in charge of the account room. I didn't expect this Diao slave to be bold enough to do tricks and embezzle money in the house!
That's it, let Da Lang see and smile!
Now that Da Lang is back, this family is naturally still in charge of Da Lang! The second lady said very interestingly.
It's not that she doesn't want to fight, but she really can't fight, her own man's unstinting temperament, she has only been a family for two and a half years, and she almost lost her family.
Fighting back and forth, in the end, the biggest possibility is to split up, once the family is separated, their sisters, and children, are they not allowed to drink the northwest wind?
Therefore, it is better not to fight, as long as there is no shortage of food and clothing for them!
"Thank you, Auntie!" Zhang Junping clasped his fists and saluted.
Zhang Junping walked to the side of the bookcase, picked up a pen and wrote five big characters on the paper.
"Home and everything is prosperous!"
Wait until the ink dries a little, hold it with both hands, and hand it to the second lady, "Auntie, there will be no shortage of expenses in the future!"
In addition, the rules of the wealthy family that are strong and weak do not apply in our Zhang family!
I have already told my second uncle that when the academy reopens, I will let my younger brothers go to the academy to study!
In addition, I will also ask Mr. Jiaoshu to come to the house to teach my sisters to read and write! ”
Zhang Junping's words are promises!
A promise made to the second aunt!
The meaning is very clear, you are honest, don't make trouble for me, you will eat, wear, and spend no less; Your sons and daughters, I will also train you to become talents.
"The concubine is a woman's family, and Dalang is in charge of all matters in the family!" A satisfied smile appeared on the second lady's face.
Especially after reading the five big characters written by Zhang Junping, I was even more happy.
Marrying a man, dressing and eating, the status of women in this era is really low, and the requirements are low, they are probably able to eat and dress warmly, and their husbands do not beat and scold every day, which is a happy thing for women.
If you can eat fine clothes and silk, and your husband can go home to eat every day, it will be a very happy thing.
The second lady married a husband who didn't learn and didn't care, there was no hope, and the children were small, and now the uncle in charge of the family died, and he was replaced by a nephew who was further away, and this was the time when the second lady was most insecure.
Zhang Junping's five big characters, "family and everything is prosperous", for the second lady, it is undoubtedly the sound of heaven and the centering pearl she is looking forward to the most.
"Lang Jun, I asked! Cao Li's house actually embezzled 37,000 yuan of money in the house!
It's all ...... It was all embezzled and withdrawn in the name of the second master! "The one who came in to reply was a person in charge of the Zhang family, and he was also the head of those families.
"Can his comrades ask about it?" Zhang Junping narrowed his eyes and asked.
More than 30,000 yuan, close to 40,000 yuan, converted into the weight of later generations, is equivalent to about 220,000 catties, that is, 110 tons.
With such a large sum of money, it is not so easy to get it out quietly, saying that there is no party and killing Zhang Junping does not believe it.
Zhang Junping also secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, how confused should his second uncle be?
Let people pull 110 tons of copper coins from their homes, and they don't even know it.
"Lang Jun Mingjian, there is indeed his comrade in the house! Someone has been sent to arrest him! ”
"Hmmm! Bring Cao Li in! Zhang Junping nodded.
"Cao Li, your courage is really not ordinary! is worthy of being a person from the Cao family, I admire you a little bit for your courage! Zhang Junping looked at Cao Li, who was beaten and did not look like a man, and said with a smile.
Seeing that the old man who came from her mother's house with her was beaten like this, the second lady was really hated and distressed, but thinking that she had just promised that all the big and small things in the family would be handed over to Zhang Junping, she couldn't help but speak.
"I beg Lang Jun to spare his life...... Cao Li pleaded indistinctly.
"Cao Li, you said that I would kill you now, will the Cao family come forward for you? Will Kaifeng Mansion come forward? ”
"Lang Jun...... Pimp...... I was wronged! Wronged! There was a shouting from outside.
"Bring people in!" Zhang Junping commanded.
"You say wronged?"
"Yes, Lang Jun, a little wrong! The small one is just a concierge, how dare you embezzle! ”
"You said Cao Li wronged you?" Zhang Junping said, stretched out his hand and pulled out the knife on the steward's waist, and slashed at the porter.
Frightened, the porter screamed, Zhang Junping's knife did not slash at the porter, but only cut his coat, revealing the satin underwear inside.
"A concierge, can wear satin underwear, it seems that my Zhang family's treatment is really good?" Zhang Junping sneered.
"Drag him out, squeeze out all the money he embezzled, and sink to the water!"
"Whoa! Lang Jun, do you want Cao Li to sink to the water together? When the steward heard Shen Jiang, he immediately suggested excitedly.
"Find him a Lang Zhong, treat his injuries, don't let him die like this!" Zhang Junping commanded.
"Lang Jun, what are you doing with that matter? Go straight down with a knife, put it in a sack, and sink it to the water with that guy, how easy is it? "This steward is the one who suggested Zhang Junping to rebel outside the gambling hall that day, and the murder is not ordinary.
"It's still useful to keep his little life!" Zhang Jun said indifferently and denied the suggestion of the steward.
"Whoa!" Seeing this, the steward didn't say much, agreed, and dragged the porter away.
"Cao Li!"
"Thank you Lang Jun for sparing your life!" Cao Li lay on the ground and hit the ground with his head.
He knew that he couldn't die, Zhang Junping didn't kill himself now, and he wouldn't kill himself again in the future.
"Huh! Cao Li, you are clever! It's just that this clever is useless in the right place! This time, I pity you for being a talent and spare your life! If you commit it again next time, you will be directly sunk into the water! ”
The reason why Zhang Junping let him go was also to take care of his second aunt's face, and his family and talents would be prosperous.
"Thank you Lang Jun for sparing your life, thank you Lang Jun for sparing your life!" After a while, Cao Li had blood on his head.
