Chapter 16 Drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle
Zhou Xin came in, sat down next to Pearl, and said, "I'll go, Mei Dart Tou promised to help." ”
"How?" Although Pearl knew that the people of the dart game traveled from south to north and made a lot of friends, he was afraid that he would not wade into troubled waters, and since he agreed, Pearl was relieved.
Mei Darttou said that those two boys have a very bad reputation, and they are the eldest brothers...... The eldest brother's reputation outside is not very good, and he follows them all the time, saying that he is their lackey, and occasionally gets a little cheap. Feng Jia and Xie Gang are both well-known in the county. I also went to a doctor to inquire and heard that Qi Zhang's death was very miserable. As long as you are human, you will not do that. Zhou Xin listened to Qi Zhang's matter, although the doctor was embarrassed to say it, but he understood, it was really miserable.
Pearl was a little strange and said, "If it's really that miserable, why don't you call for help?" What is his husband doing? If you really care about Qi Zhang's family, how can you be a secret doorman, but now you are crying out for injustice?
"Qi Zhang's family is good, at first he was forced by others, and then he simply broke the jar and broke it, plus, Qi Dazhu's person was seriously ill and had to take medicine all the time, Qi Zhang's family made money, and they all raised him. It's not the first time they've seen such a guest, and of course they've taken the money they gave. It's just that it became like that later, and it is estimated that Qi Zhang's family didn't expect it, and at that time, I was afraid that he couldn't shout if he wanted to. Now that Qi Dazhu has no head, he naturally wants to take revenge. His family heard that they had also come to get involved, and it was estimated that things would not be easy. Zhou Xin said,
"Actually, it's a very simple case, it's just a secret trick who was killed by someone, and it's all voluntary. But after all, it is a dead person, or a loss of money, or a board, and a few years. It's not that important. The reason why we are involved is that those two guys think that we have calculated them. The second is to get rid of the crime through this matter. Their only evidence is your eldest brother and the Zheng family. But it's not just your big brother who has it, but people also have it. So, we are suspicious. Let your eldest brother move out tomorrow, and you won't say anything more about the rest of the matter. This is a critical time. Too much to say and more to be wrong. When the time comes, it will not be good for people to say that you don't respect your brother. Pearl told him about the separation.
Zhou Xin nodded and said, "I heard that the county magistrate is very angry. But then how to arrange. I couldn't find out. ”
Pearl nodded. said, "What kind of official is that county commander?" ”
"His family is an ordinary wealthy family, with thousands of acres of fertile land. Occasionally, I send gifts back, and the county lady is not good-looking, she has two concubines and three sons in the family. It's very common, and I also receive gifts, but I haven't heard of a bad reputation. Besides, he has been an official here for three years, and he is about to leave. The prefect has a good relationship with him, and the prefect is a very slippery person, especially greedy for money. Now the Feng family and the Xie family have sent people out to do something. ”
Zhou Xin thought for a while and said, "The reason why this case allowed him to find out about our family is probably because he is worried about a bad reputation." After all, there are many doctors who have shown Qi Zhang's family, he is afraid of a simple solution, his reputation is not good, and the bitter master is not convinced. ”
Pearl smiled and said, "It's not easy for you to think of this, my son, you have some wisdom!" It's going to be separated tomorrow, but there are some things that I can't let others know, and I can't give them to Zhou Rong, you take them secretly for a while, and then hide them in a safe place, they can't be our family, you know? ”
Zhou Xin was obviously a little surprised, how could he never know that his mother had something to hide? My father didn't mention it, and when the family was short of money, he didn't even say it!
Pearl opened the kang cabinet, opened both doors, and put aside a box inside, about half a meter high, a very delicate box, and then took out seven or eight palm-high long boxes, very similar to the jewelry boxes he gave out. also put it aside, then five or six packages, and the rest of the things were for Zhou Xin.
Pearl took out a large long box of more than one and a half meters from inside, and then a box that was one foot high and more than half a meter long. In addition to these, there is also an iron box. This box has a lock. Finally a big package. Zhou Xin asked curiously, "Mother, what are you?" How can there be so many? ”
The pearl box was opened one by one, and the two Mo knives placed in the largest and longest box inside, Zhou Xin had never seen them, but looking at this knife, the cold light was pressing, and it was definitely a sharp weapon. The other one is shorter, there is a sword inside, Zhou Xin couldn't wait to take out one, and took out one to see, this sword is also a sharp weapon, with lines on the knife body, such a sword is only regarded as a legend, I didn't expect it to be true. Although there are no gems on the scabbard, it is all snakeskin. There is also a gilded decoration, which is simple and elegant. Zhou Xin was very excited, and when the big box was opened, Zhou Xin saw that it was armor that he had never seen before, out of armor, and there were some special things. Daggers, water bladders, fire sickles, and more. There were also two bows and crossbows and a lot of arrows, and on the other side, there were a lot of bottles and jars, which should be medicine. The last box was not opened, it was still iron, it was locked, and it was probably something of value. Pearl doesn't have much soft armor, so she is thinking about how to get more, but at the moment, these two bodies of armor made of modern alloy steel in the space are better than the lily armor, and they are also lightweight, which is enough for the second and third children.
After that, Zhou Xin went to hide things. Pearl felt that she couldn't sit still and had to act tonight. Zhou Xin borrowed a fast horse from the village and went to the county. Pearl changed into light clothes, then found a horse from the space, and went directly to the county seat, Pearl arrived at the county seat, collected the horse, climbed the city wall with a dagger and entered the city, and then went directly to the prison, Pearl put incense in the prison, and after that, Pearl found Feng Jia and Xie Gang.
"You...... You're Zhou Rong's mother, how did you get in? Feng Jia was a little scared, and Xie Gang in the other cell was also woken up by Pearl. At this time, seeing the pearl appear here, his eyebrows stood up, and he said,
"It's you, you must have knocked us out, didn't you?"
There was a torch behind Pearl, so Pearl smiled and spread her hands, and Feng Jia and Xie Gang saw the white one with their own eyes. Nearly transparent worms, wriggling in the woman's palm, one turned into two, then split into more, and the thing slowly jumped to the ground and crawled towards the two of them, both of them screaming in fright, but the thing still entered their bodies. They didn't even feel any pain. But when I saw my bare skin, with no traces to see at all, I was even more afraid.
Xie Gang said with some trembling. "What do you want to do?"
"Change your tune. Let's just say that this matter has nothing to do with the Zhou family. Otherwise...... Your life will be very bad in the future, and as long as you stay with you for a long time, you will also be contaminated with this thing, first of all, the servants who serve you. And then there are friends. Your parents and grandparents. Your women, then your neighbors, then a street. As long as I'm not happy here, you're going to suffer there, understand? ”
"What is this?" Feng Jia said fearfully,
"Gu worm, have you heard of it?"
The faces of both of them turned white, this thing is too terrifying, I heard that no one can unravel it, unless it is a person who has a Gu worm,
"What, don't believe me?" Pearl asked with a smile,
Suddenly, the two of them were like pins and needles, and the pain was unbearable, as if their bones were hurting. Even so painful that they couldn't speak, Pearl let them enjoy it for ten minutes, and then, before letting them go, asked again,
"Can you do what I said?"
"Yes, yes. We give more money and let people dredge it. Absolutely don't talk about Zhou Rong and your family. "Xie Gang is still relatively smart,
"We promised, when will you unravel this Gu worm for us." Feng Jia is very smart at this time,
Pearl smiled and said, "When I feel happy, otherwise I will be unlucky if you find the back account?" ”
After speaking, Pearl left, and now in the entire prison, Feng Jia and Xie Gang are still awake, and they can't forget the scene just now, and they would rather die than bear the second time.
Pearl felt that instead of sitting still, it was better to take a salary from the bottom of the kettle. Soon, I found the study, where the light was still on. The county magistrate Qu Yunlong is also in his thirties this year, and soon, he will be transferred or promoted, his political achievements have not been released, and the possibility of promotion is very large, but over there, he doesn't have so much money to dredge, but it's hard to say. He was looking at the case file at this time, this Qi Zhang's case is not big, but now the whole county knows about it, and everyone is watching how he tries the case! It's hastily concluded, I'm afraid it won't work. But if Feng Jia and Xie Gang are moved, I'm afraid that the two of them are in the house, and they can't agree!
"Master Qu, what a good official who is dedicated to his duties and worries about the country and the people!"
A woman's voice came, Qu Yunlong looked for prestige, on one side of the study, there was a woman wearing a dark purple skirt sitting on the chair, this woman's hair was pulled up, fixed with a black wooden hairpin, looking at her appearance, it was a little bit of posture, and her temperament was elegant, but at this time in her study, she could actually come in, and she was so silent, what about his little girl? What about the guards in the house? His family......
"How did you get in, you are Zhou Liu?" Qu Yunlong had a panic on his face, he listened to Zhang Zhutou come back and report, saying that the people of the Zhou family are all martial arts, especially the Zhou Liu family, the people he brought are definitely not opponents, I hope he will think about it, he was on fire at that time, and he plans to send more people tomorrow! But now that he saw Zhou Liu's and appeared in his study silently, he was frightened, you know, it was almost dark when Zhang Zhutou came back, and the city gate was closed not long after, how did she come in, and how she escaped everyone's eyes, and she didn't even know when she entered the house,
"Adults know, so why ask? I have already met Feng Jia and Xie Gang, they are very chivalrous, dare to act, and don't plan to climb my family. It's just that I think it's better to talk to adults about this matter. Don't be embarrassed. Qi Zhang's tragic death, although she was willing to do so, but, as a woman, I am also very sympathetic. This matter has a little to do with our family, but it is not enough for adults to summon my daughter's daughter, and ruin my daughter's reputation. After speaking, he stood up and threw a cloth bag to Qu Yunlong, Qu Yunlong subconsciously caught it, and then raised his eyes to see that the person was gone.
Looking at the package in his hand, he opened it and looked at it, and was immediately stunned, there was a string of pearls the size of a dragon's eye, and a silver ticket with five thousand taels on it. This money is enough to dredge it yourself. With such a big pearl, one bead can sell for 350,000 taels! It seems that this woman is not ordinary! (To be continued.) )
