But there was no problem with the things that were sent, and there was nothing missing in the house, just when Lin Huiru was thinking hard, Baizhu hurriedly came, "Madam, I found it." ”

"What did you find?" Lin Huiru was a little dazed.

"I've found someone who knows what happened back then, the time and place are not bad at all, do you want to meet them?" Bai Zhu knew that Lin Huiru had a lot of things to do recently, and explained.

Lin Huiru was overjoyed, it had been half a year since she arrived in the capital, and the summer was almost over, she thought that this matter was going to sink into the sea, but she didn't expect to have a new clue today, "Prepare tea and please come in." ”

Although Lin Huiru didn't think there was anything to be happy about in this matter, Xu Ziqiao had always been worried about it, and she also wanted to do her best to help Xu Ziqiao solve problems.

When he saw the old woman, Lin Huiru couldn't wait to ask, "You said you knew what happened to my husband back then?"

The woman was stunned and hurriedly knelt down, "The grass people have seen Madame." ”

"Hurry up, please, I just want to know who my husband's biological parents are, you don't have to be formal, if there is a clue, there will be a lot of thanks." Lin Huiru helped the person up and explained.

"It's been too long since this happened, and I don't know if I can explain it clearly." The old woman sighed and sat down, and began to remember what she had seen.

At that time, the old woman was the mother-in-law of a large family, because the lady of the main family was sick, and that was the master she had served since she was a child, so she was particularly attentive, and she was in a hurry all the way, but at the same time she went to Zhengyang Town with another carriage in the capital.

But she was asking for medicine, and the carriage reported a baby crying in swaddling clothes, and the woman followed her, and saw that they had entrusted the child to two good-looking men, who also had a son, and therefore seemed to have a handful of silver.

But when Lin Huiru asked the name of the family, the old woman said helplessly, "I don't know their names, but the people who sent them out are definitely from the capital, and the family is halfway up the mountain behind Zhengyang Town, and there is a waterwheel next to it, which seems to be surnamed Xu." ”

That's it!

Lin Huiru was overjoyed, and it was good to be able to determine Xu Ziqiao's approximate identity, "Then do you have any clues here?"

"This ...... I have a little impression of the coachman, thin and a little hunchbacked, it seems that his eyes are not very good, he should be a person in the capital, and his accent in the capital is accurate. The old woman added.

The people in the capital, hunchbacked, with bad eyes, sent away a child to work for a large family twenty years ago, and these conditions can add up to a lot more specific.

"These messages have given me a direction to find someone, thank you." Lin Huiru gave Baizhu a look, and Baizhu sent people out of the door, and stuffed a lot of silver.

When Baizhu came back, he added, "Madam, the woman told me again just now that the coachman looked only in his early twenties and less than thirty, and now he should be younger than her." But big families often don't hire people with such physical defects, at least not among the hundred officials, is it just a small family?"

That's right.

A domestic servant is also the face of the family, most of them will pick those who can work in the past, and few people will hire a Luo Guo.

But if the family has a good heart, how can they abandon their children?

"Maybe it's because this matter is not honorable, and I just found an outsider." Baizhu boldly guessed.

Lin Huiru nodded, "It's possible, you go and inquire, this matter can't be leaked." ”

If someone with a heart wants to take advantage of this, she has to be prepared.

After the conditions are accurate, it is better to find someone, since it is for people to work, the conditions should not be very rich, it is a person in the village, and there are a few Luo pots in a village that are also clear with their hands, which is just a matter of time.

Xu Ziqiao was not very happy when he heard the news, but just hugged Lin Huiru into his arms, "I've worked hard for you these past few days, but I didn't expect you to still check." ”

"I'll be able to do that for you." Lin Huiru said helplessly, because of her business, she now has an unusually wide network.

It's okay to want to check people.

"Why are you back late today?" It was dark outside, and Lin Huiru knew how long he had been thinking about things.

"I temporarily took over an official business, which was about the corruption and bribery of the previous squire, and the official who originally handled the case said that he was sick, and His Majesty was very concerned, so he ordered me to find out as soon as possible that the person involved in the case still had calculated the amount of bribes." Xu Ziqiao's voice was a little tired.

This kind of thing is the hardest thing to find.

The relationship in the court is complicated, and often one person may be related to many people, and a mistake is simply the same thing as everyone.

But now that Xu Ziqiao has taken office, this matter is indeed a little difficult for him.

Seeing that Xu Ziqiao was worried about this until late at night, Lin Huiru helped him make tea, and Xu Ziqiao fell asleep.

Lin Huiru had no choice but to cover his clothes, and suddenly her eyes lit up, she picked up the official document on the table and looked at it, but found a big loophole.

The former waiter's wife still frequented her, and the things she bought were often one hundred and two thousand taels, and the shops under the waiter's name were not small, so she didn't care.

But on this official document, it was said that the waiter's shop had been empty for many years, and almost all the money sent to take bribes was pasted in.

If she remembers correctly, that lady is not from a big family, and she shouldn't have too much bottom, and she can bring her thousands of taels of silver in a month, which is a staggering amount.

Because there are many people who know people in business, Lin Huiru can find that things are wrong if he looks at some amounts, and some people are extravagant, and there is a huge gap between the amount quoted and the amount reported.

This was found out by the original officials, didn't Xu Ziqiao check the accounts again when he took over?

The official family has two account books, one public account and one private account, and this thing is afraid that the amount of the private account has been falsified.

The next day, Lin Huiru mentioned the matter, and Xu Ziqiao realized that something was wrong, he was going to directly lead someone to collect the bribe money and hand it over today, but fortunately, Lin Huiru found out in time yesterday.

Otherwise, the difference in this amount is too large, and I am afraid that I will be charged with a crime of cover-up.

"They must still have private accounts that they haven't taken out, this matter, I suggest you go and talk to the official first, he must have some clues, if he bites to death, the account books in my shop can be provided to you, and then you go to search a few restaurants they frequent, as long as you can find the accounts, you can overturn the official document they made." Lin Huiru felt a chill behind him, this was digging a pit for Xu Ziqiao to jump.
