Chapter 180: Shocking Secrets, Jin Ran was shocked
So many big boxes, all opened at once, Jin Ran walked to these boxes, almost blinded by the jewelry in the box, the box is not just a little gold jewelry, but gold, jadeite, Jin Ran even shocked and angry to find two sets of jade heads with the imperial seal. These two sets of jade heads were built by the palace's Si Zhenfang, and they were obviously rewarded by Concubine Fang, but she didn't expect to be pulled to her by this housekeeper.
The next box made Jin Ran even more angry, what tortoiseshell bracelets, beeswax ornaments, and a small screen made of pink crystal, all of which didn't seem to be enjoyed by people of Steward Fang's level, but these all appeared in Steward Fang's room.
Jin Ran took out a thick stack of house deeds and silver tickets from one of the boxes and said sharply: "No need to search! That's enough to convict the steward! A few of you! Jin Ran waved his hand and said, "Send this old man to the yamen!" I can't control this matter, this is a slave betraying his master, he has to eat dozens of whips, and then exile to that evil place. Jin Ran's face was expressionless, but the words he said were very terrifying.
She said this not only to the old butler who was paralyzed on the ground, but also to the silent people under the porch. The Fang family has always been a sweet spot in the eyes of everyone in the imperial court, but the Fang family is scarce, and it is difficult for them to get in touch with the Fang family. Although there are certain benefits to the scarcity of people, it will also be like fragrant steamed buns, and everyone wants to come up and take a bite.
Especially now in the court, there are only five princes who have been pro-government, and there are originally four princes in the court to compete with the five princes, and now the four princes are rebelling, and this throne is almost in the pocket of the five princes, and now the ministers have secretly surrendered to the five princes in private.
However, the five princes are not arrogant or impatient, and rarely show a smug and arrogant appearance, and it is also because of his caution that those ministers have no way to befriend him, so the uncle of the five princes, Fang Tianji, has become the only life-saving straw in the eyes of everyone.
Jin Ran rubbed the elders in her hands, her eyes swept towards the people under the corridor like a knife, among these people, I don't know how many of them were sent by other families, now Fang Fu is really sensitive, and every move is in the eyes of others. Jin Ran really didn't dare to take a wrong step, and a wrong step would be a catastrophe.
"You guys." Jin Ran put down the ledger: "I know that some of you must have been instructed by others, and I am not interested in who that person is." But now-" Jin Ran's phoenix eyes were Ling: "If you take the initiative to say it yourself, I will not hold you accountable, if you die here, if one day I find out-"
Jin Ran stretched his tone: "I don't guarantee what you have become after I find out." ”
The people under the porch whispered, and many of them had some emotion on their faces, but they still retreated.
Jin Ran was not surprised to see this, others would definitely not dare to send a few little maids to the Fang family casually, this Fang family is not the same as the county lord's mansion, she was able to remove the nails of others in the county lord's mansion because although Jin Ran is a county lord, she is also a girl, and many people don't think they can get any important news from Jin Ran at all. Therefore, the people sent are all little girls, and they do some sweeping work in the yard, and even the flaws are very obvious.
And in the Fang Mansion is very different, the Fang Mansion is the General's Mansion, there are many guards in it, each of them is out of the barracks, and the words and looks and the kung fu on the body are there, ordinary people really can't hide them, and the nails sent by this will inevitably be very well concealed.
Jin Ran didn't expect to be able to dig out a big fish in one or two sentences, she smiled slightly: "I know everyone knows it in their hearts." I won't force you. However, from today onwards, the Fang family will have to implement another rule. If any of you can report someone who has behaved wrongly, if it is verified that you are right, then I will give you your deed of sale, and I will give you a good sum of money as a settling-in allowance. ”
Jin Ran's words were like a stone thrown into the calm water, which instantly caused a violent reaction from the others. There were more subordinates with a flash of wavering and tangle on their faces.
Jin Ran smiled when she saw the commotion of the crowd, and she stretched out a finger to her bright red lips: "You don't have to say it now, no matter when, if you want to come to me and tell me, you can do it." If you can't see me, even if you look for the maid I brought from the Sheng family, as long as what you say is right, you will be free from now on. ”
Jin Ran took it when she saw it, she gathered the corners of her skirt and stood up, and went back to the room to rest by herself, she was pressed on the bed by Fang Tianji all night yesterday, and her body was very sore, and now it is not easy to say such words.
Jin Ran's plan really worked, she ordered people to investigate in the shadows, and at the same time sent people to contact those wandering people, trying to bring in a few.
Sure enough, before it was evening, Li Ying's side sent a letter.
"Miss, there's a little girl in the kitchen who said she had something to do with you." Li Ying brought the little girl to the main room.
Jin Ran was sitting on the kang and slowly knocking on the walnuts, and when he heard this, he threw the small hammer that knocked the walnuts in his hand, filled the last piece of walnut kernel into his mouth, picked up the white handkerchief on the table, wiped his hands, and said, "Quick, call her in." ”
Coming in was a little girl with yellow face and thin muscles, she was not tall, even shorter than Li Ying, she was wearing a coarse blue cloth gown, and a pair of thick cotton shoes made of black flannel on her feet, these cotton shoes were new, but they were a little hot to wear in this summer. Jin Ran looked this little girl up and down, and had some numbers in her heart.
She summoned this little girl to her side with a pleasant face, and Jin Ran looked at the thin wrist of this girl's thin bones were very obvious, and a trace of pity flashed in her eyes: "You girl, how can you be so thin?" The steward is too inhuman, and the general Su Rili brought back a lot of silver, but it didn't make you hungry like this, and all the silver made this steward greedy for ink! The more Jin Ran spoke, the more angry she became, she reached out and grabbed a large handful of jerky from the plate and stuffed it into the girl's hand: "Girl, you eat something first, and then it's too late to tell me after eating." ”
No matter who the owner behind this girl is, Jin Ran's pity for this girl will not change. She can't look down on those things that the master can't bring down people, Jin Ran was like this at the beginning, and Li Ying, who was harmed, died with herself in the end.
The little girl didn't expect Jin Ran to be such a pleasant person, she carefully picked up the beef jerky and stuffed it into her mouth, although she was very careful with the movements of her hands, but her mouth took a big bite, and she ate a large piece of jerky the size of an adult's palm without even chewing.
Jin Ran looked at the eyes with a hint of distress, she reached out and poured a cup of milk tea: "Come, slowly, don't worry." ”
The little girl took the milk tea and drank it all in three sips.
After she finished drinking, she took two steps back and knelt straight on the ground: "Madam! Linglong is guilty! ”
After saying this, she ignored Jin Ran's surprised eyes and knocked her head four or five times, startling Jin Ran and Li Ying. Jin Ran hurriedly got up from her seat, she reached out and grabbed Linglong: "What are you doing here?" If you have any crimes, you can say well, don't kneel around like this, you kneel around at every turn, such a small body, aren't they all kneeling apart? ”
Jin Ran pulled the person up, she frowned, and her mouth was disgusted: "I just said outside, if you confess your sins, I won't punish you in any way, just say it well." ”
Tears welled up in Linglong's eyes, and her voice trembled: "Go back...... If Mrs. Hui is concerned, I am the person from the You family, and Miss You Yu put it in the Fang family. ”
"You Yu?" Jin Ran's eyes widened in disbelief, the faces of countless people flashed in her mind just now, but she didn't expect that You Yu, she had talked to You Yu once before, she thought that You Yu's mind had stopped, but today she didn't expect You Yu to give her such a surprise in Fang Mansion again.
"You speak slowly." Jin Ran's eyes sharpened, and she said slowly, "Then why did You Yu send you over?" ”
Linglong hesitated for a moment, and she whispered, "Madam, in fact, I am You Yu's sister-in-law. After my father You died in the army, Mrs. You and You Yu secretly killed my mother and reduced me to slavery...... Tell me to make cattle and horses for them. Linglong left two lines of tears on her cheeks, and her voice choked up: "Madam, you can check it, my original name is You Long." But after my father died, the mother and daughter of the Nayou family lied that I had passed away, and my household registration was erased. “
The more she cried, the more she cried: "Later, the mother and daughter of the You family wanted to kill me, so I begged them to say that I was willing to come to the Fang family, You Yu liked General Fang, she wanted to keep an eye on the movements of the Fang family all the time, and finally agreed to let me come to the Fang family, and I picked up a life." ”
Jin Ran and Li Ying exchanged a shocked look, although You Yu was a little weird, but Jin Ran never thought that she would do something to kill her sister, Jin Ran was a little worried in her heart, I don't know if Fang Tianji knew about it.
After You joined the army and died, what was given to Fang Tianji was to let Fang Tianji take care of his daughter, who knew that this daughter turned out to be not only one, but two daughters?
Jin Ran swept Linglong's body quietly, but it was too arbitrary to convict You Yu with Linglong's own words.
Jin Ran said to Li Ying: "Li Ying, you can check according to Linglong's words." ”
