Chapter 1073: Dumb Loss
The fire came very strangely, and the people around it did not know how it started.
When they saw that those houses were full of grain, they were even more surprised, there are a lot of people living in this place, and I don't know who lives in those houses, anyway, I also see people coming in and out on weekdays, but I didn't expect so much grain to be piled up inside, and I haven't heard of which grain store's warehouse is in this place?
At present, the price of food is getting more and more expensive, and there are so many grains piled up here, it is really eye-catching. The yamen is guarded, and everyone doesn't dare to come nonsense, and they can only be greedy.
The fire has been extinguished, and everyone is relieved, the officials have been working hard these days, and they must guard these grains.
When Tiankuo returned home after dealing with the matter, Siqi was still waiting for him, and when he saw him, he asked, "How is it, is the fire burning?" ”
Tiankuo was busy all night, so he was too tired to do it, so he untied his clothes and said, "Of course it burns big, otherwise how can people know about it?" The fire is too small, and the people inside quickly extinguish the fire, and this matter can't be troubled, rest assured, it's very hidden, and it's very careful, it didn't hurt anyone, and there was very little food burned, so big a movement tonight, after the fire was extinguished, no one could see it in the house, I guess the owner of the grain didn't plan to ask for it, let people check it for a few days, no one claimed it, and the grain would belong to the yamen, and these things would come in handy. ”
Siqi smiled, "Yes, Master Lin is really not bold, he really doesn't have the courage to come up and ask for these things, and he loses so much money at once, what kind of pain does his heart have?" ”
Tiankuo smiled and said, "No matter how many things he scavenged from the people in the past, God has long eyes, and he will slowly let him vomit out, if he doesn't want to make a fortune, how can he suffer this kind of loss?" ”
After a busy night, some people are happy and some are worried, Tiankuo can finally get a good night's sleep, but Master Lin and Mrs. Lin have not slept all night.
This time I want to make a lot of money, the capital invested by Master Lin is quite large, and those grains are purchased at three or four times the price, and now there is nothing, even if the Lin family has a big business, they can't afford such a deficit, although this deficit will not make the Lin family fall, but it is still very painful.
The next day, Master Lin still couldn't believe that this was true, so he asked his housekeeper to inquire about the news, and before the housekeeper came back, he immediately pulled him and asked.
"How's it going? Was that really what happened last night? All that grain has fallen into the hands of the government? ”
The housekeeper took a breath before saying, "Yes, sir, now that place is full of servants, I heard from the people in the vicinity that they should always watch over it and let people claim it, if no one claims it within three days, all the grain will belong to the yamen." ”
Master Lin patted his thigh and howled vigorously, "How can I do that, I spent so much silver, that's mine!" ”
Mrs. Lin said on the side, "Master, the head of the person is important now, if this is usually a good thing, it can't cure much of a crime, but in such a year, it really can't be nonsense, it's not like there hasn't been a hoarder Juqi who was cut off his head before, is the master a long life?" ”
Of course, Master Lin knew that what Mrs. Lin said was right, but he just felt sorry for the money, he didn't give up at this time, but he couldn't think of a way, let him just give up, and he was very aggrieved in his heart.
As soon as he thought that the money was gone, his heart ached, "Bad luck, it's really bad luck, this little county is coming to me, when will he leave?" Will no one be able to cure him? ”
Mrs. Lin didn't speak, and as soon as Master Lin stomped his feet and went back to the study, he didn't believe it, with Governor Zhang's mansion, can this little magistrate have a good death?
At present, Governor Zhang's mansion has colluded with the Mongolian people, and then Lu County will definitely be in chaos. As long as this matter is big, it is impossible for the court to ignore it.
Maybe Governor Zhang will blame this crime on the head of the little magistrate, and at that time, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu will not be able to save him.
In this situation, he can't do anything, let people go to the yamen to claim the grain back? There's no way it's so easy.
This fire also came strangely, it can't be said that it is related to the yamen, since he is ready, no matter what he thinks, he will not be able to get it back, otherwise he will go to prison.
The lesser of two evils, in the final analysis, the silver can be earned again, but if this life is gone, then there is nothing.
Master Lin still knows this truth, but he just can't figure it out, at such an old age, he is holding his breath in his heart, can he not suffocate himself? On the same day, he fell ill with a high fever, and the whole family was in a hurry.
The grain was kept in place for three days, and no one claimed it, and the owners of the houses were found, and they also said that they had rented the houses to people who came to do business in other places, and handed over the silver taels, but they did not inquire much about other news, and they did not know where to find people at this time.
In this way, the yamen will be able to receive the grain in a logical manner, and the yamen's treasury will be almost overwhelmed.
This batch of food was finally found smoothly, and Siqi and Tiankuo were relieved, and they didn't have to worry about it anymore.
When Qiu Ling was free, she brought the eldest girl and the eldest treasure to the house to play, Siqi hugged the eldest girl and kissed twice, "Little baby, this time I can successfully find food, but thanks to you, the fourth aunt must reward you well, tell me quickly, what do you want?" ”
The eldest girl almost didn't think about it, and blurted out directly, "Jerky, I want to eat spicy jerky, and the fourth aunt will make me jerky." ”
Si Qidu didn't react yet, she directly said the answer, Si Qi couldn't cry or laugh, reached out and poked her forehead, "You, you really look like me, you just love to eat, you just don't want this reward, the fourth aunt will also give you jerky, aren't you suffering like this?" ”
The eldest girl smiled and said, "Anyway, I don't want anything else, I just want to eat jerky, what's the big deal if I don't suffer a loss." ”
Everyone teased her, they were very happy, Tiankuo said, "Contentment can always be happy, the eldest girl can understand this truth at a young age, but it's really good, it seems that this girl will live so happily every day in the future." ”
Qiu Ling said, "If this is the case, and it is also her blessing, how many people in this world can really smile every day?" As the saying goes, fools are blessed with fools, and I really hope she can be such a fool. ”
