Hearing this, Lin Mei frowned unconsciously: "You didn't do it, could it be that I instructed someone to do it?" Let me tell you, I've put up with you for a long time, if it weren't for my father's face, do you think you would still be able to stay in the Lin family? ”

"It's not me, it's ...... It was my eldest brother who was stupid at the time, and said it casually, it was really not intentional, Meizi, you believe me, it's just a coincidence. “

"Coincidence?! Did you consult with my father when you opened the barn? When you spent a lot of money, did you ever buy a thread for my father? You can't be too selfish like this, you can't share blessings when you're blessed, and you push others when you're in trouble, are you all fools when you're in the Lin family? ”

Lin Mei couldn't help but feel a little more angry and angry, she really felt extremely disgusted when she looked at this ugly face, and shook it hard, and she fell to the ground, and her forehead was suddenly red and swollen.

Lin Mei was disgusted for a second, Nighthawk was interrogating the two brothers of the Zhou family, and it was not too late to clean her up when he figured out the ins and outs of the silver.

"Mama Jiang, Mama Feng is looking at them so much." Then he waved his sleeves and left.

In the main hall of the front yard.

"Eldest sister, what should we do now, we have to find a way to rescue my father." Xi'er's eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had just cried, but at this time, she was able to restrain her emotions, think calmly, and said: "Eldest sister, if you want me to say, let's report to the official, the Zhou family's grain shop has nothing to do with our family, and the official will know it when he checks it." ”

Lin Mei glanced at her and said with a soothing expression: "That's for sure, but before the investigation is clear, I can't report to the official for the time being." ”

"Isn't this something obvious from the lice on the donkey monk's head?" Peaches gritted her teeth.

Lin Mei glared at her, "Anyway, the Zhou family is the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, and the Zhou family is poor, where did the money come from to open a grain store, what do you think outsiders think?" ”

"But this really has nothing to do with us." Momoko was shocked and lost her soul.

"I'm here, you two go down and rest first." Lin Mei didn't want them to participate, lest he talk about the sunset.

"If I don't go, I'll keep watch and see if his brother and sister have anything else to say." Peach said angrily: "We are both sisters of the Lin family, we can't always hide behind you when there is something, I also want to do my part for the family." ”

Before Lin Mei could speak, Xi'er preemptively said: "It is said that sisters work together to break the gold, although the third sister and I can't help much, but we can still help to see if we can do it." ”

Lin Mei looked at the two of them with a little surprise, and her tone couldn't help but be a little gentle: "In the blink of an eye, my sisters have grown up!" That's it, you two are free! ”

In less than half a pillar of incense, Nighthawk came and went back with the results of the interrogation.

"Master, I'm afraid this thing is not very good, the Zhou brothers said that part of the grain in the grain shop was transported from our Zhuangzi, just this, if the Zhou brothers and sisters insist that it is the master's meaning, we really can't do anything about them; Although the other part was bought from others in Hanjiazhuang, they both said they didn't know where the silver came from. ”

The sisters were shocked, Lin Mei's heart palpitated slightly, her expression suddenly became serious, she took a few steps back and forth, and said: "You go to Hanjiazhuang immediately, be sure to check the situation in the village in the past few years, and bring back Cao Dahu and the account book on the village." ”

"But if the slave leaves, who will protect your safety, now the city is in chaos, I'm afraid it will be ......"

"I can't take care of it so much, I'll inform Qi Niang, you go quickly, remember, you must bring the account book back." Lin Mei knew what he meant, but now she couldn't take care of it so much, and if she wanted to clear the innocence of the Lin family, she had to change the account book again.

"No!"

As soon as the Nighthawk left on his front foot, Lin Shan and Zhang Dabao rushed back.

"Eldest sister, is what the eldest brother said true? Is it really my mother's back-to-back grain shop to make the country difficult to make money? ”

Lin Mei didn't reply, her eyes stared at Liu Dawu, who was dressed in military clothes behind them, frowning, why did he come too?

Liu Dawu saw her staring at him silently, couldn't bear it, and said: "I rushed over when I got the news, and I happened to meet them, what do you have to do, just ask." ”

Lin Shan didn't know what to say, so he walked up to her lightly and said, "Brother Dawu is also for the good of our family, one more person has more strength, not to mention that he is still a general, and the government can still help deliver the words." ”

Lin Mei restrained her emotions, her face was extremely calm, and she repeated the words of the two brothers of the Zhou family and her own concerns.

Zhang Dabao gritted his teeth and hated: "One person does things and one person is responsible, the father and son repay the debt, and the fault of my mother and my uncle is borne by me, so I will go to the yamen to replace Uncle Lin out." ”

Lin Mei hesitated for a moment: "What if the people in the government don't believe it?" The ledger of the grain store has also been collected, and we have no evidence. And I'm also worried that my father is willing to take this charge if he takes into account the relationship between husband and wife with the Zhou family. ”

"Before I came, I went to the government and tried it, as long as we pay a fine of 50,000 yuan, we can redeem the master first."

"Fifty thousand taels? The officials are all poor and crazy. Zhang Dabao's eyes widened and exclaimed, it's okay to take the blame, but this fine can't do anything.

Liu Dawu nodded deeply: "You are right, the state governments are very poor now, taxes have not been collected for a long time, and there are more and more refugees. Grain is also one price a day, if you don't knock on the mountain and suppress the grain merchants, I'm afraid that even the government and family members will soon be unable to eat. ”

Lin Mei raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger!" Is there a big move in the court? ”

Although Liu Dawu is a military general, the affairs in the court are still clearer than her, and said: "The grain in Chang'an City flew out of thin air like wings overnight, and the emperor was extremely angry, and he had sent Dali Temple and Jing Zhaoyin to investigate. I came to Luoyang this time to assist Lord Cao, the squire of the military department, to come and transport grain. ”

Already under investigation? Acting so fast, could it be that the matter was exposed, and the Lin family had been targeted? If so, what should we do? Lin Mei was suspicious, but there was a fog in her heart that she couldn't dissolve.

"Fifty thousand taels of silver, why didn't Qi judge the division mention it just now? There are two or three grain shops in the city that are also open, and the prices have all increased, but it just so happens that only one has been sealed? I've heard about Cao Shilang's detention, but why are you okay? Lin Mei stared at him cautiously.

"How can you doubt me?" Liu Dawu raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect her to be so suspicious.

The other people present didn't know what was going on, but when Lin Mei was confused, Lin Shan hurriedly said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, the eldest sister is kind-hearted, I'm afraid that something will happen to you, how can I suspect you." ”

Liu Dawu is not the stupid boy he was at the beginning, combined with her whereabouts before and after, as well as the strange behavior of the stewards around her, even the personal maid who came and went without a trace around her is now alive in Beijing, could it be that the Lin family is also involved in this matter?

"Can we both talk alone?"

"I don't have anything to talk to you about."

Liu Dawu didn't expect her to be so resolute, staring at Lin Shan and saying, "You guys should avoid it first." ”

Lin Shan and the others looked at each other, retreated outside the house, and Xi'er thoughtfully closed the door.

"You can't get angry at me just because the kid surnamed Luo ran away from home!"

"I'm not in the mood to talk to you about these boring questions right now." Lin Mei glared at him.

Liu Dawu took a deep breath and raised his spirit: "Okay, let's get back to the point, let me ask you, is the sudden disappearance of food in the capital related to you recently?" ”

Lin Mei was shocked, but quickly came back to her senses and immediately denied it.
