Sending Yan Qing away, Liu Zhisi knew that the problem on the squire's side had been solved, and in the future, Yan Qing could be used as a helping force, so he said to Wang Buting: "If you encounter some obstacles in the demolition of the Temple of Literature in the coming year, you need to discuss with Mr. Yan first, he will not only help us come up with ideas, but also help us advise others at critical moments, so as to save our energy." ”

The change in Yan Qing's attitude before and after, Wang Buting had already seen it in his eyes, and he also intended to win Yan Qing as a friend, so he said: "Mr. Yan has been convinced by the young lady, I think we might as well give him a promise, after the school is built in the future, ask him to teach a lesson on behalf of the squire, so that he will definitely be more attentive." ”

"Good idea." Liu Zhisi praised Wang Buting and said: "As long as it is something that can unite everyone, you can do it yourself, don't tie your hands and feet, and you don't need to ask for instructions on everything, I only need a result here, you can do it, of course, you have to remember that it is too much." ”

"Thank you, Miss, for your understanding." Liu Zhisi's words are already obvious, everyone tries their best to do things, even if it is something that benefits them, as long as it is not too much, Liu Zhisi also recognizes it, Wang Buting understands this truth, but he also knows in his heart that Miss can see people through at a glance, but it is not as easy to fool as Liu Ye Dao, everything must be done carefully, and it must not be sloppy.

Liu Zhisi arranged the squire's side, and then he had to think about solving the problem of the ruffians, these people for the sake of interests, such as flies and hungry wolves, must be ruthless to deal with them, otherwise they can't be prevented, the best way is to capture the thief and capture the king first, and then let them divide themselves, and then win over and support a new person, take over the original ruffian forces, and for a period of time, rely on the government, very obedient, and can be used by me. Liu Zhisi made up his mind and asked Wang Buting: "How is the situation of Shan Mazi's family?" ”

Wang Buting replied: "Shan Mazi has been bullying and dominating the market for many years, and there are two more serious injuries that we can use as a reason to rectify him." ”

Liu Zhisi couldn't be sloppy, and asked him: "What two incidents do you refer to?" ”

Wang Buting knew that the young lady was very meticulous, so he didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, so he used his brains and replied attentively: "The first case is well known to everyone. Last summer, he insulted a widow named Heart, causing Heart to hang himself. ”

Liu Zhisi asked: "When such a thing happens, why didn't the government punish Shan Mazi?" ”

"This is indeed a problem of the government." Wang Buting said, "However, the principle of the government, Miss knows, and the people have always been not raised, and the officials have not been prosecuted." A widow of hearts, helpless in Shenzhou, his dead husband was a foreigner, and there was no family to stand up for him after his death. ”

Liu Zhisi secretly thought about widow incidents like hearts, how many people are there? If the criminals cannot be punished, it will inevitably encourage evil winds, and asked Wang Buting: "Does the red heart have no family in Shenzhou?" ”

Wang Buting said: "Miss doesn't know, the red heart turned out to be a descendant of the Yue family, oh, it is the envoy girl in the Yue Leopard Mansion." Twenty-one years ago, Yue Baobao was the prefect of Shenzhou, and one night, the family's money and treasures were stolen. ”

Liu Zhisi suddenly remembered that when Qingyun Daoist told him that Yue Baobao had obtained a blessed deer, and then it was quickly stolen, was that time? asked Wang Buting: "What specific things did Yue Bao lose back then, and how many were they?" ”

Wang Buting has always remembered the numbers clearly, Yue Baobao's home was stolen, which was recorded in the archives of Shenzhou, he had carefully browsed it, so he said: "That time, the Yue family lost a total of 170,000 oceans of silver tickets, eight gold ingots, and more importantly, Yue Baobao got a new treasure, named Youlu, which was also stolen, so Yue Baobao was angry with the lady who kept the money." ”

"Yue Baobao's wife, what is the origin?" Liu Zhisi asked.

"She is the eldest lady of the Chen family in Nanjing, and she is also a beautiful woman, and her family background is excellent, she can be described as a rare daughter, but unfortunately she married Yue Baobao." Wang Buting replied, with a regretful expression on his face.

Liu Zhisi had heard of the Chen family in Nanjing, the grandfather of the Chen family had been in charge of Jiangsu for many years, and Yue Baobao was just a Jinhai Daoyin in the first two years, where could he afford to provoke the Chen family, and he would not embarrass Mrs. Chen, so he asked Wang Buting: "What happened to Mrs. Chen you said?" ”

Wang Buting replied: "Mrs. Chen is naturally not afraid of Yue Baobao, but Yue Baobao has completely alienated Mrs. Chen from then on. Originally, Mrs. Chen was dissatisfied with Yue Baobao, and after another seven years, Mrs. Chen was completely disheartened with the Yue family, and there happened to be a person from Beijing, who went to Shenzhou to do an investigation, and Yue Baobao had some friendship, and after seeing Mrs. Chen, she was lonely, and some bewitchment, so that Mrs. Chen took her three-year-old daughter and the marrying maid Xing'er in the spring of 1901 to go to the nunnery. ”

Liu Zhisi sighed secretly, even if a woman has the ability to fight against her husband, she has no ability to fight against the society's perception of women, and can't help but praise Mrs. Chen's courage while regretting her bad fate, and pity Mrs. Chen's daughter, who has lived in a nunnery since she was a child. But I also heard what Wang Buting said that the person from Beijing seemed to have some stories with Mrs. Chen, but it was not convenient for him to tell them. Because he couldn't bear Mrs. Chen's daughter in his heart, he asked Wang Buting: "Mrs. Chen's daughter, where is she now?" ”

"It should be in the Wuxiang Nunnery in Beijing, I also heard from the old Shenzhou people, saying that it was the Wuxiang Nunnery that Mrs. Chen went to at that time." Wang Buting said.

Leaving with the children, how could the Yue family agree? Liu Zhisi asked again: "Mrs. Chen took her daughter to leave home, didn't Yue capture the leopard and stop it?" ”

"Oh, it's easy to understand." Wang Buting explained, "Mrs. Chen's daughter, among the people of Shenzhou, there have always been two theories, because Yue Baobao has never given birth, and everyone knows that he will not have children. But in 1898, Yue Baobao suddenly had a daughter here, one theory is that the child is the daughter of Yue Baohu, the eldest house of Yue's family, and was passed on to the second room Yue Baobao; Another theory is that the girl was not from the Yue family at all, but was born out of whack between Mrs. Chen and the Japanese. ”

Liu Zhisi was a little puzzled and asked, "How did Mrs. Chen know the Japanese?" ”

Wang Buting replied: "Mrs. Chen studied when she was a child, so she didn't want to see the vulgar Yue Baobao, but her parents' order made her and Yue Baobao husband and wife, so she had to settle down with what she encountered. It wasn't until that time that Yue Baobao's house was stolen, and the thief put the stolen gold ingots at the two foreigners who came to Shenzhou to do business, causing Yue Baobao to think that foreigners had stolen my Qing Dynasty national treasure, so he arrested the two foreigners into the prefect's yamen, and only after the first trial did he know that one of these two people was British and the other was Japanese, and Yue Baohu did not dare to try again. Because there was no evidence, I had to invite Mrs. Chen to the back hall to secretly identify them, and after Mrs. Chen saw them, it proved that the two were not thieves. Yue Baobao understood that the thieves deliberately planted the false accusations to divert the attention of the government, so they could take the opportunity to escape. So he set up a banquet at home to shock the two foreigners. Legend has it that it was during this meeting that the Japanese fell in love with Mrs. Chen, and later gave birth to this girl. But it's all speculation, not necessarily accurate. ”

Liu Zhisi secretly thought, because of this, Yue Baobao didn't want that daughter, and Yuan also said the past, so he asked again: "What's the matter with hearts, how did you become a widow?" ”
