Yang is the one who doesn't want to add Ding to the long house, she still thinks that Mei Zhiyuan will inherit the family business, how can she look at the long house and have children again, even if it is a girl, she doesn't want to see it.

She also pretended to care about the child in Aunt Zhou's womb and asked her to send some meals, but she didn't care where those meals went after they entered Jihui Hall.

The Yang family knew that even if she sent the deer antler lingzhi, the Tian family would not let them into Aunt Zhou's belly.

Tian's spirit has been much better in the past two months, although he has to worry about Aunt Zhou's diet and daily life every day, he is not tired and weak, and his face is much better.

Ruoxue felt that it was good for Tian to have spiritual sustenance, how many years had she not seen Tian like this

At the very least, you can cheer up, which is much better than wilting every day.

Ruoxue and Ruohong accompanied Tian to breakfast, went to see Aunt Zhou again, asked her what she wanted to eat, and brought it back to her when they came back from the shop.

Aunt Zhou is almost five months pregnant, and her abdomen has bulged with a bulging bag, because her clothes are fat, she can't see it, her face is plump a lot, and she looks more and more beautiful.

Aunt Zhou was not polite to Ruoxue, and Ruoxue didn't have time to wait for her to be polite, so she said a few kinds of food and snacks, and there were a few things that could be made in the kitchen of the house, and she didn't have to eat, but she just enjoyed the feeling of being taken seriously.

"Okay, I'll have someone bring it to my aunt before lunch." Ruoxue said.

After saying a few more words, Ruoxue pulled Ruohong out, she still has a big thing to do today, and she can't waste time at home.

Out of Jihui Hall, they didn't go back to Guanfang Courtyard and went directly to the front to take the carriage, and a few maids such as Peony Qiaolian were waiting for them by the carriage.

There were more than a dozen guards standing around the carriage, and Qiu Lin, the leader of the guards, stood at the gate, and when he saw them coming out, he hurriedly bowed and retreated, "Eldest Miss, Third Miss." ”

"Hmm." Ruoxue stood up and looked at him and said, "Found it?" ”

Qiu Lin bowed down and said: "My subordinates took people to a few city gates, and asked the soldiers guarding the gates, and they all said that they didn't see anyone who went out of the city with a dozen boxes, and they should still be in the city. ”

"Got it." Ruoxue said.

Ruoxue walked to the side of the carriage, "Where's the medicine?" She said.

Peony waited for them to get closer, and then took out a bowl of medicinal tea from the food box held by the little maid on the side, "Miss, the medicine is not hot......

She originally wanted to say that she had been making it for a long time, and she couldn't drink it because it was a little cold, but Ruoxue didn't care so much, so she reached out and took it and drank it in one gulp.

"What's wrong with you? Why drink medicine? ”

Ruohong asked with some intersection, I don't know what happened to Ruoxue and why the medicine was delivered to the door.

"I'm feeling a little unwell, drink some medicinal tea to prevent it." Ruoxue said indifferently and pulled her into the carriage.

"Big brother, they haven't come yet." Ruohong said.

"Peony, you go and see why the eldest young master didn't come." Ruoxue lifted the curtains and commanded.

"Ugh." Peony trotted back to the yard to find Mei Zhiyuan.

Lianxin Dantang and Rice Pearl Gongyue also got into the carriage one after another, sat down on the little vulture, and saw Peony follow Mei Zhiyuan and return.

Mei Zhiyuan approached Ruoxue's carriage, arched his hand apologetically, and said with a smile: "I got up late, so I made my sisters wait for a long time." ”

Ruohong also smiled and said, "We just came out, why don't you see the second brother?" ”

"When he came back last night, he said he wasn't going today." He said.

Mei Zhigao felt that it was really tiring to sit in the shop for a day, so it was better to go to the school to listen to the class, so he went to the school today.

"Then let's go."

"Okay."

Lian Xin lowered the curtain of the carriage, and the coachman slapped the horse's back with a whip, and the carriage slowly moved towards the front.

The guard brought a brown strong horse, Mei Zhiyuan took the reins and stepped on the stirrup on the horse, patted the horse's buttocks with his backhand, and ran out after the carriage in front.

At noon, another receipt of 15,000 taels was received at the counter, and the bookkeeper let the man into a private room, and served him tea and snacks to entertain him hobbyly, making him feel that he was a distinguished guest.

The man casually put the redemption ticket on the coffee table, took two sips of tea, and then picked up the pastry and ate it.

He was enjoying the hospitality, drinking refreshing tea, eating soft and delicious snacks, and a gentleman of about forty to chat with him.

The door was suddenly pushed open vigorously, and five or six guards rushed in Hulala, and in three or two strokes, they tied his hands behind his back, and pressed him to his knees and couldn't move.

"What are you doing here? You are going to break the king's law like this, let me go...... I'm going to sue you......" he cried out incoherently, his body writhing to break free of the ropes.

Ruoxue, Ruohong and Mei Zhiyuan walked in one after another and looked at him condescendingly. He didn't say anything, just looked at him like that.

The bookkeeper picked up the bill on the table, walked up to Ruoxue and presented it to her, Ruoxue took it and looked at it, it was indeed a fake bill.

followed by Wei Quanbao and the two old account rooms, walked in and stood in front of him, and also looked at him with straight eyebrows, and looked at him creepily before asking him.

"Where did you get this fake ticket? Who gave it to you? Who told you to come to us to cheat money? Ruoxue asked.

He looked panicked when he asked a few questions, he turned his head around, and looked at the people around him who were staring at him, those guards were tall and burly, and they were all people he couldn't resist.

Looking at the young master and young lady in front of him, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, and the immature children were all children who had no experience in the world, looking at them, his mind stabilized a little.

"What's fake? What are you talking about? "His sanity is still there, and he can't recognize anything that is real or fake.

"Really?"

"Yes, yes...... What are you talking about? I don't understand it. Hurry up and let me go, give me the money, and I'm leaving, and I won't care about your kidnapping of me. He said.

Ruoxue took the 15,000 taels of redemption ticket and spread it out in front of him for him to see clearly, "This is yours, right?" Are you optimistic? ”

He also really took a serious look, tilted his head uncertainly and looked left and right, Ruoxue cooperated with him to flip the redemption ticket for him to see clearly.

"It's not." He said categorically: "You give me back my silver ticket, don't you...... Give me back the money. ”

Ruoxue was stunned for a moment, this silver ticket didn't leave this room at all, she was careless, and she accidentally pitted herself into it for a while.

Ruoxue was a little embarrassed, and said sharply: "Search your body." ”

Qiu Lin went up and lifted him up, reached out and touched it in his sleeve pocket, but he didn't touch anything, and turned over a purse on his body, there were a few pieces of broken silver in it, and there was nothing else.

"What are you going to do...... Why? That's my money. He yelled violently.

Qiu Lin stopped to look at him, and seeing that his voice was quiet, he stepped up and lifted the general off the ground, let the two guards support him, and the cat waist took off his shoes and socks.

"It's time to kill, come...... Woohoo......"

Qiu Lin raised his hand and stuffed two stinky socks into his mouth, rummaged through his shoes, and found another redemption ticket from under the insole.

Mei Zhiyuan went up and grabbed it, unfolded it and looked at it, it was a 20,000 taels redemption ticket.

"Twenty thousand taels ......"

Wei Quanbao took it and looked at it, "Fake." "Turn around and hand it to Ruoxue.

Ruoxue waved her hand in disgust, "What should Master Wei do when he sees this?" Did you send it to the government first? She said.

Mei Zhiyuan is in favor of handing it over to the government for investigation, so that he may be able to get back the silver that was defrauded.

Wei Quanbao also agreed to send it to the government, but he had to ask where the money was going first, and then send it to the government, and they would go with the government to recover the money.

Ruoxue looked at Ruohong and wanted to hear what she had to say, she knew a lot of things, and there were a lot of words coming out of her mouth, which could be thought-provoking.

Ruohong saw her look over, "Don't look at me, I don't know anything." She said.

She is also an interrogator in prison, how do you know how to deal with such people.

Ruoxue asked Qiulin to take someone to the back for a good interrogation to see if she could ask something useful.

After less than an hour, Qiu Lin brought the person back, made him kneel on the ground, and repeated what he had just said.

The man looked at Qiu Lin with a frightened face, and then looked at the girl sitting in front of him, he already knew that this was the eldest lady of the Mei family, the current head of the Mei family.

"Hurry up." Qiu Lin raised his leg and kicked him.

Judging from his clothes and appearance, he couldn't see what kind of punishment Qiu Lin had used on him, but he was very afraid of Qiu Lin, Qiu Lin just kicked him lightly, he couldn't shake like chaff, and he stammered when he spoke.

It turned out that his name was Lu He, and he was a student in Liuhe County, with a few acres of land at home, barely able to make ends meet.

Two days ago, someone found him and said that there was a way to make money, and he could earn a lot of silver, so he asked the other party what the method was, and the other party said bluntly: "I have a few fake silver tickets for Jiutong wealth, I can sell them to you, as long as you can take them out of Jiutong wealth, it is yours." ”

Lu He didn't believe it at all, his disbelieving eyes were seen by the other party, and the other party took out two silver tickets from his arms, one for one hundred taels and one for fifty taels, and said that fifty taels were sold to him.

Lu He took the two silver tickets and took a closer look, no matter how he looked at them, he couldn't tell whether they were true or false, and his opportunistic psychology drove him, so he bargained with the other party, and finally bought the two silver tickets for thirty-five taels.

Lu He carried two silver tickets, and went to the Jiutong Fortune branch in Liuhe County, and after half a pillar of incense, Lu He came out with one hundred and fifty taels of silver.

At that time, his mental happiness blossomed, but he was stopped by the person who sold his silver ticket halfway, Lu He thought that the other party came to ask for silver, but the result was not what he thought.

The other party took Lu He to the restaurant, and ate a big meal in the restaurant that didn't cost money, Lu He sat there and drank two bowls of tea, and the other party took out two silver tickets and put them in front of him.

Lu He's eyes lit up when he saw it, "This is also fake?" How much do you want? He said.

The other party shook his head and said: "These two are also fake, but they can't be exchanged here, and they can only be exchanged for silver tickets below a thousand taels in Liuhe County, and such a large amount of silver tickets can only be redeemed in Jinling City." ”

Lu He was just stunned for a moment, picked it up and looked at it, one was 20,000 taels, and the other was 15,000 taels, so he directly asked the other party how much silver he sold, and the other party looked at him, endured it and endured it before saying, "Fifteen thousand taels." ”

Lu He jumped up at that time, he pointed to the two large silver tickets, and said, "These two of you are fake, can you redeem them and say two!" You want to blackmail me for 15,000 taels of silver, you're too black-hearted. ”

Lu He didn't have fifteen thousand taels of silver, and even if he did, he wouldn't buy it, fifteen thousand taels was not ten taels or eight taels, even if he sold all of them, it wasn't worth so much silver.

After the man pondered, he said a compromise method, let Lu He come to Jinling City to exchange silver, if it was redeemed, he would ask for 18,000 taels of silver, and if he couldn't redeem it, forget it.

"Why didn't that person come by himself? Wouldn't he himself be able to take all the money? Mei Zhiyuan asked.

Lu He raised his head and glanced at the young man sitting on the side, and said, "He said that there are many people in Jinling City who know him, and he is afraid that he will be recognized, so he asked me to come to ......."

"Where is that man?"

"I don't know. He said he would come to me later. He said.

Mei Zhiyuan looked at Ruoxue, and then at Wei Quanbao, what should I do next, whether to report to the official or visit by myself.

"Let's report to the police first." Ruoxue said.

"Well, it's better to report it to the government first." Wei Quanbao has no objection.

Ruohong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all, he wanted to report to the government, and the government might use the reason for investigating the case to knock their family on a trip or something.

"Don't! Don't...... Didn't I say that I would be fine? Lu He shouted, as he said just now, as long as he said it, there would be nothing to do with him, why did he have to send him to the government again?

Ruo Hong's eyes looked at him, "Who promised you?" Seeing that Lu He glanced at Qiu Lin, he smiled and said, "He? He didn't count. ”

Ruoxue said to Qiu Lin: "Let people go to the government to report the case, just say that someone cheated the silver with fake silver tickets, and ask the government to help track it down." ”

"Yes."

Qiu Lin bowed in response, waved his hand and asked Lu He to take him out, and he followed him out.

About a cup of tea, the officials of the government came, came up and sealed the door of Jiutong wealth, and those who came to the silver were blocked from entering the door.

Ruoxue Ruohong and Mei Zhiyuan stood at the window of the elegant room on the second floor, looking at the officials in the lobby, and pasted the seals everywhere.

Wakayuki let out a long breath when no one was looking.

Ruohong saw Ruoxue's relaxed expression, she knew why she was relieved, the silver in the money village had been redeemed in the past two days, and at one o'clock last night, Ruoxue asked people to send more than 200,000 taels of silver to the money bank, and there was not much left this morning.

Ruohong walked up to her and took her hand.

Ruoxue turned her head to look at her and touched her hand with her other hand, "It's okay, don't worry." She said.
