Chapter 54: Mrs. Liang's Attitude
The master coughed and said, "Yes, the murderer is Wan Gui, the housekeeper of Wanfu!" Wan Gui attempted to woo Ma Xiangqin and killed her by mistake, and in order to cover up the crime, he teamed up with his concubine Li Zheng to destroy the corpse. As the adults intensified their efforts to investigate the case, Wan Gui felt threatened, killed Li Zheng's mouth, and created the illusion that she had hanged herself. ”
Han Fei Sparta, obviously all the evidence points to the prince of the Wan family, why did he finally become the housekeeper of Wanfu? This is a typical pawn and handsome, how can the cold wind in the county not see through it?
Suddenly, he thought of the backstage of the Wanjia family, the Jinling Jia family, and immediately understood the joints. The Jia family is one of the four major families in Jinling, and it is reasonable for the old magnates to let go of thousands of families in the cold wind. Leng Feng specially sent the master to explain to him, I am afraid that it will mean that he should not talk nonsense.
Han Fei figured out the reason, and immediately said: "Wangui is a great crime, killing two lives in a row, Lord Leng avenges the people, get rid of this villain, and keep one side peaceful!" ”
When the master heard this, he understood that Han Fei had already understood the intention of the county magistrate, and said happily: "This case has been solved, and Doctor Han has also contributed a lot!" This time, under pressure, Wan Gui took the initiative to surrender to the county office, and explained the reason for the crime, Wan Ziliang, the head of the Wan family, felt that he was not effective in disciplining his subordinates, and specially took out one hundred taels of silver to compensate the family of the deceased! ”
One hundred taels of silver, plus a substitute for the dead ghost, can let the real murderer go unpunished, this is the influence of the elite class, Han Fei can only sigh.
Speaking of this murder case, it has nothing to do with Han Fei, he was involved in it based on righteous indignation and cherishing Li Dayou's skills. Now that he has an unsatisfactory ending, he will naturally not have much to do.
Li Dayou is indeed a carver with exquisite skills, and it took half a month to carve out all the wooden movable types that Han Fei needed. This also means that the key work of forming a publishing house has been completed and is about to enter the final stage of layout.
Of course, newspapers are a novelty in this day and age, and there is still a lot of work to be done before they are actually published. The selection of the location of the publishing house, the recruitment and training of personnel, the approval of the content of the newspaper and the source of the manuscript, etc., are all very tedious tasks.
Most importantly, there is the issue of investment funds. Han Fei's dividends from Yuelaiju could not meet the initial investment of the publishing house, and Yuelaiju itself needed a large amount of funds to expand its business in Fucheng Yingtianfu, so it could not invest in the publishing house, and the funding gap could only be paid by the Liang government.
All this, Han Fei urgently needs to meet with Mrs. Liang and discuss it.
Thinking of this, Han Fei suddenly remembered that he had been busy these days, not to mention Mrs. Liang, and even Jia Baoqin hadn't seen him for nearly half a month.
"Could it be that this little girl was also infected by that living dead, and she didn't get out of the backyard for half a month?"
Han Fei muttered, walked towards the backyard, and suddenly thought that men were forbidden to enter the backyard of the Liang Mansion, so he hurriedly turned around and walked towards the courtyard where the fifth elementary school was studying.
Qinglong White Tiger Vermilion Bird Xuanwu, plus Ling'er, five small pieces of learning and practicing martial arts, with the passage of time, the personal progress is obviously differentiated. Especially Ling'er, it is not a little bit or two that her talent surpasses the four little boys, she basically learns it as soon as she learns, Han Fei often teaches Ling'er first, and then asks her to teach the four little boys, which invisibly makes her the leader of the five little boys. Ling'er is indeed as good as her name, not only is she a person with superior wisdom but also looks smart, coupled with Han Fei's deliberate cultivation, she faintly has the posture of a little adult.
"Young Master!"
Ling'er saw Han Fei first, and immediately greeted him, and Qinglong and the other four Xiaowen also came over.
"Ling'er, you go to the backyard and call Qin'er, let her come out immediately, I have something to discuss!"
After Ling'er went, Han Fei checked the studies of the four Qinglong before returning to the East Cross Courtyard to wait for Jia Baoqin.
Jia Baoqin came over quickly, Han Fei saw that she was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Qin'er, what are you busy in the backyard these days, even forgetting about me, the eldest brother?" ”
"Big brother is talking nonsense!" Jia Baoqin glanced at Han Fei and said coquettishly: "I edited more than a dozen newspapers with Sister Lan, and I brought them out, you can see if it's okay!" ”
Han Fei took the newspaper handed by Jia Baoqin and flipped through it, and saw that the legendary script behind it was still serialized in "Liang Zhu", and couldn't help but say: "You wrote this?" ”
"Sister Lan and I discussed and wrote it according to the story you told before!"
"You have a good memory, I only told it once, and you remember it so well!"
Han Fei closed the newspaper and asked, "How is Mrs. Liang's mental state?" ”
"Big brother, your method is really good, Sister Lan is now very involved in the newspaper, and her whole person has changed, and she is no longer the lifeless appearance she used to be!"
"That's good, Qin'er, you go and talk to Mrs. Liang, I want to meet her and discuss the establishment of a publishing house!"
"Okay, I'll go!" When Jia Baoqin was about to go out, he turned back and said, "Big brother, you should talk in the living room of Erjin!" ”
"Hmm!"
Han Fei flipped through the newspaper brought by Jia Baoqin again before getting up and walking to the living room of the second courtyard. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Liang and Jia Baoqin, accompanied by the maid Yinxin, walked into the living room. Han Fei was deeply relieved to see that Mrs. Liang's mental state was really different.
Mrs. Liang walked to the middle of the hall, looked at Han Fei, and said with a shallow smile: "Han Gongzi has been busy these days, and he has worked hard!" ”
Mrs. Liang, who had always looked like a living dead, actually laughed, much to Han Fei's surprise, he couldn't help but look at her in a daze, forgetting to answer.
"Big brother, what are you doing in a daze?"
Jia Baoqin's coquettish humming made Han Fei wake up suddenly, he looked at Mrs. Liang, whose face was light red, and smiled awkwardly: "Eldest sister, younger brother has lost his temper!" The eldest sister is in a good mood, and the younger brother is very happy! ”
"This is all because Han Gongzi and Qin Mei let the concubine find the joy of life, and the concubine is grateful!"
"Eldest sister, there is no need to say these words, since we have a righteous relationship, we can be regarded as a family!"
Han Fei waited for Mrs. Liang and Jia Baoqin to sit down, and then said: "The younger brother asked Qin'er to inform the eldest sister to come out, mainly to discuss the formation of the publishing house and the distribution strategy of the newspaper!" ”
"Han Gongzi, the concubine doesn't know anything about publishing houses and newspaper distribution, the concubine and Qin Mei are in charge of editing, and you can take the rest of the work!" Mrs. Liang said gently.
"I don't dare to alarm the eldest sister about trivial things, the publishing house will invest a lot of money in the early days of its establishment, including renting houses, recruiting people, purchasing materials, etc., I have a preliminary estimate that it will cost nearly a thousand taels of silver!"
"There are too many empty houses in the Liang Mansion, so the publishing house will be placed in the Liang Mansion, as for the money, I will give the key to the treasury to Qin Mei for safekeeping, how many silver taels are needed, you can just go and get it!"
Jia Baoqin hurriedly stopped: "Sister Lan, I can't take the key to the warehouse, you just take out the silver taels you need!" ”
"Sister Qin, you and Han Gongzi are my most trusted people, I can rest assured that I will leave it to you!" Mrs. Liang smiled sadly and said, "What does silver mean to me?" More is still a burden, and it's better to take it out to do something! ”
