Chapter Ninety-Three: The Tree of No Conscience Falls Away
Wu, who had always had a black face and was not convinced at all, suddenly withered when he heard that he was going to take away his two sons.
Jin Dacheng is the only son of the Jin family's grandchildren, and as soon as he died, the Jin family was broken.
Now, if he takes away his two sons to fight, I am afraid that the Jin family will really be extinct.
But looking at the sabers on the waists of the two officials, Wu's heart was cold, and she was also afraid of death.
"What...... What three hundred taels ......" Wu was surprised, "Jin Xiaofeng only earned one hundred and fifty taels from selling canned food, hasn't this money already been paid off?" ”
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Liu Yuyan who was leaning on the side.
Liu Yuyan looked like she didn't care about herself, and her face was calm and calm.
"One thing is one thing, why can't you figure it out as an old woman?" The official was a little impatient, "Jin Xiaofeng's one hundred and fifty taels have already ended, and now what Jin Xiaofeng has to pay back is the three hundred taels that Jin Xiaofeng stole from Jin Xiaolou!" ”
"You must hand it over within a cup of tea, otherwise I will go to the field to pull people!"
As soon as the official finished speaking, Xu's face suddenly turned red, and he opened his throat and said: "My man is your and the master's in-laws, and the father of the young lady of the Hefu, you can't take it away!" ”
Although Jin Xiaotao is not the main family, he did marry into the He Mansion, and he is the father-in-law of He Guangkun, and these two little servants still dare not touch him.
The former official swallowed his saliva: "That, you have one, there are still two left, just right, save the choice." ”
Xu breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhou's eyes slashed like a knife.
Wu's iron face was blue: "Jin Xiaofeng only got back one hundred and fifty taels of money to sell canned food, Liu Yuyan handed it all over to me, where is the three hundred taels, don't believe Jin Xiaolou's evil words!" ”
Zhou quickly agreed: "That's right! Jin Xiaolou has a bad character, and he loves to lie the most, obviously only one hundred and fifty taels! ”
"What, are you going to confront Lord He in the yamen?" The official sneered, "The silver ticket was personally handed over to Jin Xiaofeng by the adult, do you mean that the lord will lie about the three hundred taels?" ”
Wu's old eyes were cloudy, but her mind turned extremely fast, she hurriedly said: "Naturally, you can't be wrong with adults, but Jin Xiaolou's slippery head has been the most scheming recently, in my opinion, Xiaofeng must have handed over the silver ticket to her, but it was not enough for her to get the silver ticket, but she bit us!" ”
This......
The two officials looked at each other, and what Wu said was reasonable, if Jin Xiaofeng really gave the silver ticket to Jin Xiaolou, but Jin Xiaolou came to report the fake case with the silver ticket, no one could find out.
Jin Xiaolou behind Gao Lang raised her eyebrows, she was negligent, she didn't expect the Wu family to be so sophistry.
Although Jin Xiaofeng admitted in front of herself that she took the silver ticket, if she wanted to call her to the officials, I was afraid that she would not be stupid enough to admit it again.
In ancient times, this was not good, and there was no recording equipment for video or anything, leaving ironclad evidence.
When Jin Xiaolou was at a loss, he saw that under the eaves, Liu Yuyan's back straightened: "Xiaofeng gave me the silver ticket, three hundred taels, but I gave it to Dacheng after I changed hands, and he always carried it with him." A few days ago, Dacheng went to the forest and died, and the silver ticket was lost, I think most of it was robbed by bandits! ”
The light and shadow of the setting sun shone into the courtyard of the Jin family and hit everyone's face in the courtyard, and everyone's expressions were surprised.
Neither the Wu family nor Jin Xiaolou expected that Liu Yuyan would stand up and admit that she had accepted the three hundred taels.
Wu's face was gloomy and terrifying, and Liu Yuyan didn't look at her.
Jin Dacheng is dead, and the Wu family doesn't seem to be able to survive for long, Liu Yuyan is holding three hundred taels in her hand, and she has long wanted to split up, but she can't find a suitable opportunity.
It's better to fall into the well this time, not only to keep his three hundred taels, but also to get out of touch with the Jin family.
Otherwise, after Jin Xiaolou and the servants left, why would the Wu family have to ask for three hundred taels back from themselves, and that would be more than worth the loss.
Three three hundred taels, where is it okay for her Liu Yuyan to take this money and fly away?
Jin Xiaolou understood Liu Yuyan's mind after a little thought, Liu Yuyan is not a safe person, she used her strength to use her strength, not only pushed the silver ticket to Jin Dacheng to die without proof, but also to achieve her own goal and split with the Jin family.
"Then we don't care, you steal first, even if the silver is robbed by the bandits, you should pay it back!" When the official saw that the Jin family admitted to receiving the silver ticket, he shouted mercilessly.
"You thousand-knife killer! Our Dacheng is dead, and you still have to use him to carry the black cauldron! Zhou roared, not daring to go up to fight because of the presence of the officials, but that look was already eager to swallow Liu Yuyan alive, "What do you have to do with our Dacheng, how can you give him the silver ticket!" ”
Liu Yuyan raised her chin: "He is the only male in our Jin family, I love him as an aunt, what's wrong with giving him the silver ticket?" ”
"You're shameless!" Zhou was furious, and the fire in her chest burned her eyes and mouth.
Wu was so angry that she almost couldn't mention it in one breath, this Liu Yuyan was a daughter-in-law she used to value the most, and in the end she raised a white-eyed wolf!
Seeing that the official was shouting to go to the field to pull people, Liu Yuyan could not care about her man, but the Wu family felt sorry for her son, so she hurriedly took out a silver ticket from the pocket of the underwear and handed it out tremblingly: "Official, I only have one hundred and fifty taels here......
The official took the silver ticket, turned around and handed it back to Jin Xiaolou, and said to the Wu family: "The remaining half can't be taken out?" Then take away a man to count, and you can see who you pull. ”
Liu Yuyan was waiting for this time, she helped her sideburns hair, and said to Wu with a smile: "Mother, I know that you are the most reluctant to Shou'er, he is your sweetheart, but in this situation, the palms and backs of your mother's hands are full of meat, and you can't be too biased, so that the eldest brother and sister-in-law are cold." It's better for my daughter-in-law to be a wicked person, and now our third room will be cut off from the Jin family, so let's split up. ”
After speaking, she said to the two officials: "Two officials, now there is only one son left in the Jin family, Jin Lei, you can go directly to the field and take it away, so as to save the trouble of choosing and choosing." ”
"You!" Wu coughed violently, choking on tears, unable to speak for a long time.
Zhou gritted his teeth even more, and scolded with a mouth full of swearing.
Jin Xiaolou saw that the Jin family had become like this, and knew that he couldn't get back the remaining half of the silver.
When he was about to put the silver ticket into his arms, he pulled the corner of Gao Lang's clothes in front of him, and let Gao Lang push the wheelchair out of the door of the Jin family.
Far away, you can still hear the scolding and crying of women in the courtyard of the Jin family, mixed with the rough shouts of the two officials.
It was getting dark.
In the field, the two sons of the Jin family, Jin Lei and Jin Shun, wiped the sweat on their foreheads after a day's work, and on the grass next to them, Jin Shou, who had been dozing off for a day, got up and patted the grass residue on his buttocks, and was about to go home with his two brothers.
The official with the big knife came forward and couldn't help but say, so he pulled Jin Lei away......
Jin Shun was stunned for a moment, afraid that something would happen at home, so he ran to Jin's house with a hoe.
Jin Shou was a little hesitant, looking around and standing in place, he was a habit of growing up lazy since he was a child, and he was not filial, once he vaguely felt that something had happened to the Jin family, his first thought was not the old mother of the family, but not to implicate himself.
Before he stood for a while, he saw his sister-in-law Liu Jiedi holding the ingots and carrying a large bag and rushing towards him.
Before Brother Liu came to him, he shouted: "Brother-in-law, go to the village and call a carriage, and when Yuyan comes, let's go!" ”
He couldn't even raise his mouth to ask what was going on, Jin Shou spread his legs and ran towards the entrance of the village.
……
When Jin Xiaolou arrived at Zhou's house, lanterns were lit in the courtyard, and Widow Zhou was sitting in a wheelchair, watering a row of flowers and trees under the courtyard dam.
Seeing Jin Xiaolou coming, Widow Zhou thanked the wheelchair again and again, and called out her daughter Zhou Hui to make tea for Gao Lang and Jin Xiaolou.
Zhou Shuli and Huang Guizhi, who were in the room, also walked out, Jin Xiaolou took out some scattered silver, and stuffed it into Zhou Shuli's hand: "I know that Aunt Zhou needs money to see a doctor recently, you take these silver first, and when I enter Xinning, I will exchange the silver ticket for silver, and then I will send you some." ”
Before Jin Xiaolou's words fell, Zhou Shuli's face had changed.
Huang Guizhi frowned: "I've been persuading him in the house for a while, but he just won't listen and won't ask for our silver." ”
"What, you're too little?" Jin Xiaolou quipped.
Zhou Shuli hurriedly said: "How come, Xiaolou Guizhi, your mind, Shuli has accepted it." It's just that the gentleman is not subject to food, although I have no ability, but it is also useless, put down the book and carry the hoe, I can also feed our family. ”
Gui Zhi was anxious: "Wouldn't it be a pity for your hand to take the pen and get the hoe!" ”
Zhou Shuli smiled: "With the hoe as the pen, the ground as the paper, the rain time as the ink, and the writing is growth and harvest, how can it be a pity!" ”
Jin Xiaolou couldn't help but admire, he thought that Zhou Shuli was just a rigid and conservative pedantic scholar, but he didn't expect him to be able to say such heroic words.
He immediately clapped his hands, said hello, and paused before saying, "Zhou Shuli, are you really willing to bury your life in the field?" Scholars are ambitious, are you willing to give up? ”
Seeing that Zhou Shuli was silent and did not speak, Jin Xiaolou continued: "Since you don't want to be fed by the groaning, then so be it, there is still an account room left in my shop, if you don't dislike it, you can come." ”
Zhou Shuli's eyes lit up.
Jin Xiaolou knew that he must be willing: "You accept this silver first, and when I pay you the monthly money in advance, then you will go to the White Horse Academy to study during the day, and come to settle the accounts at night." ”
