Chapter Seventy-One: Spending Money
Zhuang Rou whipped the horse a few times, and it ran at full speed, but Li Zhongxin didn't have a horse whip on his hand, and the thing was still in Chen Mufeng's hand, so he had to keep kicking the horse's stomach with his legs.
The usefulness of the horse whip was shown at this time, Zhuang Rou's horse followed closely, and Chen Mufeng's horse was also kicked very uncomfortable, usually Chen Mufeng had never tossed it like this, and he didn't even spank it.
Seeing that the distance was almost over, Zhuang Rou took out the iron rod from his waist, tied the rope in his hand at one end, took it and threw it a few times, and threw it towards Li Zhongxin.
The iron rod flew straight out with the rope, and it wrapped around Li Zhongxin a few times. Zhuang Rou pulled the rope violently, and he was immediately torn off the horse and slammed to the ground.
Zhuang Rou rode over on a horse, jumped off the horse and stepped on Li Zhongxin's back, and tied him up with five flowers. Then he led Chen Mufeng's horse, threw the person on the horse, and rode his own horse, and even led the person and the horse back.
Li Zhongxin gritted his teeth and struggled desperately, but because he was tied too tightly, he couldn't break free at all, and he could only keep cursing in his mouth.
When the two returned to Yizhuang, the Lin family immediately screamed when they saw that their son had not escaped. Zhuang Rou didn't bother to pay attention to her, jumped off the horse and ripped Li Zhongxin off, threw it on the ground and said: "You actually want to run, it seems that you are extremely evil, and you know that you are dead." ”
At this moment, Lin Laicai, who had not yet been tied up by Chen Mufeng, suddenly ran over and wanted to rush into Zhuang Rou to save his son. Lin also ran over desperately, and when her hands were tied, she opened her mouth like a vicious dog and wanted to bite someone.
Chen Mufeng was deeply shocked, the parents' maintenance of their children can make people become so crazy, and he couldn't help but think that if something happened to him, his parents must do the same.
Zhuang Rou raised her eyebrows, kicked Lin Laicai away with one kick, and turned around and kicked Lin to the ground again.
"They're so old, why are you still working so hard!" Chen Mufeng, who has a good moral character, saw it and immediately blurted out.
He has been well taught since he was a child, and he has always learned to respect the elderly, and he can't bear to see these two people being kicked like this.
Zhuang Rou stepped forward directly, frowned and asked, "What were you doing just now?" Why don't you tie Lin Laicai up with his mother-in-law? ”
"I ...... You didn't say it again! Chen Mufeng was a little embarrassed, feeling as if she was being scolded by her as if she was useless.
"If you don't want to see them beaten, then you should tie them up, run into tolerance and try to get in the way of the case, you have to be subdued. What's wrong with being old, being old can be lawless? Joke! Zhuang Rou gave him a blank look, and asked him to tie them up. They also have to be tied together with ropes, so if they want to escape, they have to be three people together, and there is no way to escape.
Then she found the owner of Yizhuang and threw five taels of silver directly to him, to store Lin Yubao's body here, and it was not allowed to be buried at will.
After explaining the matter, when Zhuang Rou was about to leave, she was politely blocked by Li Zheng, "Official, what are we going to do next?" ”
Zhuang Rou smiled and said, "I'm sorry for you this time, please also ask Li Zheng and the village chief to go back and take care of Lin Laicai's house, and we will send someone over immediately." No one is allowed to come out or enter, everything must be confiscated, and if any villager robs the property, just wait for all the troops to be distributed! ”
Li Zheng was stunned, he couldn't imagine that this woman should be arrested and speak so strongly.
"Mu Feng, come over for a moment." Zhuang Rou shouted outside.
Chen Mufeng had already tied up the person, but he didn't have a ruthless hand, and ran in when he heard the shouting, "Sister Zhuang, what's the matter?" ”
"Did you bring any money?" Zhuang Rou asked.
Chen Mufeng replied unreasonably: "Bring it." ”
"Take ten taels to Li Zheng, let him go back and ask someone to help guard it, and then give each person two taels of silver to suppress the shock." Zhuang Rou distributed it like her own silver.
It turned out to be a piece of money!
Chen Mufeng said with some reluctance: "I paid for the carriage, and besides, what do you want, is there no money in the yamen?" ”
Zhuang Rou shrugged and said, "People have been dragged over by you to see the dead bodies, what if you have nightmares at night?" It's scary. Besides, there is no silver in the yamen, and it has not been paid for several years. ”
"So poor!" Chen Mufeng looked at her dumbfounded, isn't the yamen being repaired?
"Don't say so much, hurry up and pay the money, we have to hurry back." Zhuang Rou patted him on the shoulder, then walked out first, occupied a carriage, and threw all three of them up.
The selected coachman looked depressed, it was really unlucky to pull a car and have such a thing.
Chen Mufeng reluctantly took out his purse and distributed the silver to Li Zheng. The village chief and the others were all shocked, but now when they saw that there was still silver, they immediately became happy, this sister is really good, and she didn't come in vain.
Da Zhu's mother saw that Lin Laicai's family really killed someone, and she was trembling with fear just now, if she knew where she dared to point fingers at the murderer. Now when he saw that he had the silver to take, he suddenly came to his senses, and immediately ran over, but he was afraid that the little young master would have no silver if it was too late.
The woman who was called the old sister by the Lin family walked over and sighed, "Why did this happen to the Lin family, it's really unexpected." ”
"I said a long time ago that the source of his family's wealth is unknown, and you usually go to the knots when you are fine, now it's okay, it's lucky that I didn't lock you up in the room and die." Lin Zhuniang took two taels of broken silver, said proudly, and put the silver in her personal purse.
The fat woman shook her head, but she also squeezed up and stretched out her hand to ask Chen Mufeng for silver with a smile, the Lin family will definitely be finished if they kill someone, and the white-haired silver of this official mansion will not be taken for nothing.
The three members of the Lin family were thrown on the carriage, except for the Lin family crying heavily, Lin Laicai and Li Zhongxin's eyes glared at them like knives, and the coachman who was driving the car was so frightened that he didn't dare to sit on it, so he had to pull the horse and look at Zhuang Rou, "Official, I don't dare to go up!" ”
Zhuang Rou glanced into the carriage, then walked into Yizhuang, and after a while, he asked for three cloth bags, put them on the heads of the three of them, and then clapped his hands and said, "Now don't worry, I don't look at you." ”
The little girl ring who came with her was lifted to sit in the carriage by Zhuang Rou, and this one didn't need to be tied, she was already scared.
"Yes......" The coachman suddenly felt that the three people in this carriage didn't seem to be as terrible as this sister.
Zhuang Rou got on his horse and shouted to Yizhuangli: "Mu Feng, let's go." Lizheng, you can go back by yourself, remember what I said, and the yamen will send someone over soon. At that time, the benefits of your village will be indispensable, and if there is something missing, I will look for you. ”
Li Zheng took the silver, so he naturally hurried to play the package ticket, and the village chief and the old patriarch were even more calculating in their hearts, what property could be regarded as in the clan, and they would ask for it from the government when the time came.
Chen Mufeng was on the first day of his errand today, and he spent nearly twenty taels of silver, and he only heard that he should catch all the fish and meat people on weekdays, and he was very black-hearted, why didn't he get half a penny of silver, and he posted so much?
Riding on the horse, the two escorted the carriage back to Douhu County, stopped the car and asked Chen Mufeng to continue to pay the fare, Zhuang Rou walked to the gate and shouted inside: "Catch the head, catch the horse!" I've brought the prisoner back, come out and pick it up. ”
The craftsman at the door was still working, and he looked at it curiously, and he naturally had to take a look at the excitement.
After a while, Ma Dezheng ran out of it, and at an inexplicable look, he saw that the young master of Chen Shangshu's family was standing in front of a carriage, this time it was not the injured person who was carried by broken wood, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Young Master Chen, it's really troublesome for you, how can this kind of dirty work dirty your hands dirty." Quick, go and clean your hands, but don't let these filthy things stain your precious hands. ”
Chen Mufeng was taken aback, he had never seen such a fierce one, and before he could speak, Zhuang Rou walked over and patted Ma Dezheng on the shoulder.
"Yo Sister Zhuang, look at my dog's eyes, just looking at Young Master Chen, I didn't notice Sister Zhuang standing here." He hurriedly laughed and said, he originally wanted to come out to make Sister Zhuang happy, but he didn't expect that the young master of the Chen family was still there, so his eyes were attracted.
Instinct made him not go to greet Zhuang Rou first, this person was much more powerful than her, of course, he had to be happy first.
Zhuang Rou didn't bother with him so much, just opened the curtain of the carriage, took off the cloth bag on their heads and said, "This is a big case I handled, bring everyone in." ”
Ma Dezheng was wondering who she had gone to arrest again, and looked inside, isn't this the couple whose daughter was hit and killed a few days ago, and was finally dragged by Zhu Dianshi to give one hundred and twenty taels of silver before they were sentenced home?
And it was Chen Shangshu's housekeeper who was tied up with five flowers, and he remembered that he was still very remarkable, and Zhu Dianshi also asked for such a little silver because of his face.
Seeing that these people were brought back again, Ma Dezheng asked puzzledly, "Sister Zhuang, what did they do?" ”
"They adopted some girls, and then they came up with an accident to cheat money, and Lin Yubao was killed by them. I went over today to find out the matter, and I arrested the person back, don't look at the three of them are sons-in-law, in fact, Li Zhongxin is the biological son of these two. Zhuang Rou said.
Ma Dezheng was surprised and said: "It is really unconscionable to have such a thing!" ”
"Yes, I'll go to the adults first to explain, and you can do the rest. That little girl ring is also from his family, and I brought her back together, don't torture her. Zhuang Rou patted him on the shoulder, and then walked to the yamen, and had to ask the person in charge to go to Lin Laicai's house.
Chen Mufeng is now a related person, this is his housekeeper, so he followed her in with great interest, wanting to see how the yamen handled the case.
It's a construction site, it's full of materials, and the craftsmen are walking around and working, and there's not even a place to put their feet on.
Zhuang Rou rushed straight to the backyard, slammed open the dilapidated house that Zhu Dianshi temporarily used for office, and stepped in to see Zhu Dianshi stepping on a chair on a broken table, touching the beams with both hands.
She just broke in directly, which frightened Zhu Dianshi into a panic, and almost fell off the table, and quickly grabbed the beam with both hands, and two small ingots of silver fell from it and fell to the ground with a bang.
Staring at the two ingots of silver on the ground, Zhuang Rou raised her head and asked curiously, "Lord Zhu, are you hiding private money?" ”
