Chapter 19: What a big game of chess
Lu Man's appearance of 'the old lady is rich, you can talk casually', which caused those students to look at them frequently.
Baoju people also know this law, in fact, it is to open the back door for those powerful, otherwise those powerful people who hurt people really can't go to prison, so that the powerful people can break the law and pay fines, which is already a blessing for ordinary people, you must know that in the previous dynasty, those rich and noble people, hurt people, and the people can only consider themselves unlucky.
Because Bao Juren and Mrs. Bao themselves are also at fault, so Lu Manman chose to pay the fine, which is already the best ending of this matter, even if Bao Juren is not convinced, unless he can move out of a bigger backstage and can suppress Lu Manman, so Lu Manman can only go to prison obediently.
The fine consists of two parts, one part is for the victim, and the other is for the hardship paid to the yamen, so the master directly asked Bao Juren and Mrs. Bao: "May I ask Madam, how much compensation do you want?" ”
Of course, Mrs. Bao wants the lion to open her mouth, after all, the Baoju people have been abolished, they have to point out, and they don't have to worry about it in the second half of their lives, just about to speak, they were stopped by the Baoju people, and the Baoju people know that if they ask for more money on their side, then he doesn't even have the last bit of face, but he is not willing to give up this opportunity easily, because the road is long and the children of rich and noble families will definitely be able to get a lot of money, so he said to the master: "Please decide." ”
Seeing that Bao Juren was still more knowledgeable, Governor Chen's face finally improved a lot: "Master, you can calculate how much you should lose." ”
After that, the master asked the doctor, the injuries of the Bao family's mother and son, if they are cured, will be at least a few hundred taels, and it will affect their lives in the future, so he also calculated the money for the Bao family's mother and son to raise the subordinates who serve them, and the loss of the Bao Juren as an official in the future, according to the general four-grade officials, all add up, Lu Manman has to pay 20,000 taels, plus the hard work to be handed over to the yamen 1,000 taels, Lu Manman has to pay 21,000 taels.
As soon as such a fine is calculated, many people are startled, this is the price of hurting a scholar, not only to lose money for treatment, but also to accompany him to lose the loss of his future, if it is just an ordinary person, it is too much to lose a few hundred taels, no wonder so many people desperately want to study, this is the benefit of reading.
Although the master didn't want to lose so much for Lu Manman, this was the rule, if he dared to break the rules, he would be on the opposite side of those scholars, so the master looked at Lu Manman with some apologies.
If Lu Chang is a young lady from an ordinary family, he really can't afford to pay it, after all, many young ladies from official eunuchs don't have so much dowry.
Governor Chen originally planned to make a good hand over Lu Manman, if Lu Manman didn't have so much silver, he would help Lu Manman out first, but who knows, he saw Lu Manman, took off a somewhat peculiar purse hanging from his waist, took out the things inside, and then took out two of them and handed them directly to the master next to him: "This is two thousand taels of gold tickets." Then he stuffed the rest of the handful back directly, hung it on his waist casually, took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve, counted them, and handed them to the master again: "This is a thousand taels of silver tickets." ”
Lu Manman's wave of angry operation, everyone saw it, the 21,000 taels of fines were taken out by Lu Manman at will, and the stack she stuffed back was obviously a golden ticket, that is to say, Lu Manman actually ran around with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, what kind of rich and noble family is this, a young lady has so much silver.
It's a pity that Lu Long didn't mean to solve their doubts at all, patted his skirt and said, "I can go now, right?" ”
Lu Manman went directly in the envious and awe-inspiring expressions of others, when he returned to the inn, it was already noon, if he set off now, it was very likely that he would have to sleep in the wild at night, Lu Manman didn't want to wronged himself, so he planned to stay until tomorrow morning and leave.
Lu Manman suddenly thought about those old guys in Tiejishan, plus he was not in the mood to go out again, and he lost 20,000 taels of silver, so he wrote a letter to Brother Leopard in the house, crying that the people outside were not as good as them, and there were still people who could snatch money from her cannibal hands, it was really a capsized boat in the gutter, but she didn't lose the rules of Tiejishan, the money that should be paid, never bad accounts, and she wouldn't go to the black to steal back, otherwise the money she brought out would soon be gone, and she would have to hide from some scholars in the future, Like a weak chicken, life is too expensive to lose.
also sent a letter to the Fengyun scholar, and told the Fengyun scholar that the world was as black as a crow, and the readers were all black, and asked the Fengyun scholar to subsidize the two thousand taels of gold tickets she lost.
In the end, she secretly wrote to the old monster that she wanted to make some extra money, and let the old monster send news to his dark piles, and there was no task to find her, she only charged thirty percent of the commission, generally this kind of work is done by those outlaws, after all, they are all lost, and finally Lu Long also sternly warned the old monster not to tell Brother Leopard about this, because most of the business done by the old monster is related to those who assassinate and loot treasures, and it is more dangerous than Brother Leopard and they resell treasures, so Brother Leopard doesn't like to get close to the old monster on a long road, It's a pity that Lu Manman has already become a New Year's friend with the old monster, because Lu Manman is also a person who likes excitement.
After Lu Manman used the transmission channel of Tiejishan to send the letter back, he heard that the case of the Liu family was solved, and the murderer turned out to be the maid of Miss Liu Er, because the maid's sister liked to read very much, but their family was poor, and the maid worked hard for her sister, and finally asked Miss Liu Er to promise to let her sister go into the house to serve in the study, but the maid's sister was fascinated by reading once, and she forgot her own work, and was sarcastically ridiculed by Yin'er and Miss Liu Er A maid still wants to study and forgets her duty, The little girl was so humiliated that she actually found her dead, and Yin'er laughed at the maid's sister, and when she really thought that she was pretentious after reading for a few days, she couldn't see her identity clearly, and the maid planted hatred in her heart.
Last night, Na Yin'er and Miss Liu Er once again accused those who didn't have a life to study but desperately wanted to study, and suddenly picked the girl's hatred to the highest, and then Bao Juren retreated, and when she saw Miss Liu Er's so pitiful and humble prayer, the maid was already less hateful, but unfortunately, at night, Miss Liu Er forced the maid to go with her to find a long road, and complained to the maid again, she didn't think she was wrong about what she said, the poor should be like a poor person, desperately drilling to a place that does not belong to her, It caused her to lose such a big face, and then the maid was completely out of control, and when she came back to her senses, Miss Liu Er was already dead, and the maid was frightened, and ran back to Liu's mansion to hide, and when she was found, she said that she didn't mean it, and the matter was finally revealed.
And after that, the maid was sentenced to be disposed of after the autumn, and Mrs. Liu also fell ill, but before falling ill, she forced Liu Yuanwai to send Yin'er back to her own house, not to mention, and told Yin'er's family that old age and death would not get along, if it weren't for Yin'er adding oil and vinegar to the side, Miss Liu Er would not have fallen to that point, and the mother and daughter who have always been very indifferent turned out to be Liu Yuanwai's wife and eldest daughter, just because Liu Yuanwai has always disliked their mother and daughter, in addition to not treating their mother and daughter badly for food and clothing, they basically treat their mother and daughter as strangers, And now there is only one child in the entire Liu family.
Lu Man, who had heard it and forgot it, suddenly flashed a picture in his mind, when Miss Liu looked at Mrs. Liu, who was crying desolately, the corners of her mouth were a kind of successful laughter, yes, it was a successful laugh, which was the same as Lu Manman's laughter every time he calculated other people, and then Lu Manman thought about it carefully, as if all the people who hindered Miss Liu's mother and daughter did not exist.
Mrs. Liu fell ill, middle-aged and widowed, she couldn't get better at all, Miss Liu was gone, she was the only girl in the Liu family, Yin'er was also removed by Mrs. Liu's hand, and she broke off relations with the Liu family, Lu Long wanted to know if his guess was true, so he asked the person who was gossiping about the Liu family on the side without a trace: "Doesn't Liu Yuanwai have a wife?" Why is Miss Liu's mother Mrs. Liu instead? ”
In order to show that he knew everything, the man covered his mouth with a mysterious hand, as if he thought that this was another whisper, but in fact, the voice was so loud that everyone could hear it: "That big Mrs. Liu, is a child picked up by Liu Yuanwai's mother, raised as a daughter, originally a sister and brother with Liu Yuanwai, and got a good family affair, which is the cousin's father, and later Mrs. Liu's youngest daughter, who fell in love with her future brother-in-law, and went to the cave with her future brother-in-law in advance, hehe, so it became her married, In order to make up for it, Mrs. Liu married Mrs. Liu Yuanwai, and then Mrs. Liu and the cousin's mother changed from sisters to sisters-in-law, of course, they disliked each other, and now Mrs. Liu is the cousin's mother, who married directly as a flat wife, and then relied on Liu Yuanwai's favor, basically controlled everything in the Liu family, and Mrs. Liu and the eldest girl were forced to Zhuangzi in the countryside, and it was also this time that the second girl Liu was going to become a monk, so they took their mother and daughter back, Before Miss Liu got married, I heard that Miss Liu's husband seems to be a child, and tomorrow will be the day when Miss Liu becomes a monk. ”
The person listening to the gossip next to him said with a surprised face: "I'm grass, you're not bragging, right, you know this kind of thing?" ”
The man was anxious, for fear that others would not know: "It's true, my third uncle's cousin used to be the tenant of Mrs. Liu's Zhuangzi, but Mrs. Liu is really good, she is very good to those tenants, and she has a good heart, so there is a good reward for being a good person, and Mrs. Liu will definitely be happy in the future," and then said cryptically: "Now the Liu family only has one child, Miss Liu." ”
Hearing this, Lu Manman has basically determined that the death of Miss Liu Er is mostly inseparable from the eldest girl, she may have already seen that something is wrong with the maid, after all, a person who has lived very hard since he was a child, must have a good ability to observe words and feelings, and Miss Liu Er and that Yin'er are both spoiled children, and they will not understand that some of their practices will hurt others, so they will not think that their lives will be lost in the hands of their maids.
I think that the conflict in the Lantern Festival is also calculated by Miss Liu, just to stimulate the maid, I am afraid that the Lantern Festival is also the handiwork of the big girl, because she knows too well that it is too difficult for people living at the bottom to live with dignity, so the Lantern Festival gave those people a fig leaf to accept alms, and how could the second girl, who was full of joy and was arrogant and pretentious, easily appear in front of those poor people she hated, and I think it was also the eldest girl who deliberately used some method to trick her out, and there was almost no need to calculate anything, that Liu Er girl will definitely have a conflict with these people who guess lantern riddles, and it will be successful to stimulate the maid who already has some problems.
And the matter of Bao Juren's withdrawal from relatives gave the maid a chance to pity Miss Liu Er, and then the second girl Liu insisted on going her own way to come out in the middle of the night to find a long way, it must also be the means used by the eldest girl, one ring after another, as soon as Miss Liu died, Mrs. Liu was not afraid, and Yin'er, who had been jumping up and down in the middle, would certainly not get a good result, and Mrs. Liu's kind of person who likes to be angry will definitely not easily forgive Yin'er, so he forced Liu Yuanwai to break off relations with his own sister.
Perhaps the eldest girl Liu also saw that Lu Manman was not simple, so she took the risk of calculating that Liu Eryu went to find Lu Manman, just to pull Lu Manman in and deal with the Baoju family who occupied the great benefits of the Liu family, with the character of Liu Ergirl, she would definitely complain to her maid that she was not wrong, and she was doomed to be a dead person the moment Liu Ergirl walked out of the door.
Thinking of the long road here, I was a little convinced, I didn't expect that this big girl's ability to calculate is really not small, only moved a chess piece, and the whole game of chess was revitalized, from now on, no one is stopping in front of their mother and daughter, but this big girl Liu's courage is really big, no matter which step goes wrong, the result of the matter will be different.
If it weren't for the fact that the road was too hypocritical and unwilling to endure hardships, I am afraid that I would have left Yunyang today, and I would not have heard the process of this case, and I would not have known that I had become a pawn on someone else's chessboard that charged into battle, or a pawn who paid out of his own pocket.
Although Lu Manman admired Miss Liu's ability a little, but the calculation came to Lu Manman's head, causing Lu Manman to lose two thousand taels of gold, which can only be earned by selling a lot of slaves, how can Lu Manman be a person who is willing to suffer, of course, he has to recover his losses.
