"Listen to what you mean, Ma Zhixian's character should be very good?" Long Tingxiao looked at Chen Hongren with a smile.

Listening to Long Tingxiao's tone and looking at the expressions of the people here, Chen Hongren finally discovered something, but he was so sure of Ma Yuhu just now, it was impossible for him to slap himself up, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "This is natural!"

"This is strange, Ma Zhixian has such a good character, how could he say a few words that are unfavorable to the fifth aunt for the sake of the fifth aunt and kill the fifth aunt in front of so many people?" Long Tingxiao said.

"Killers? How is this possible? Chen Hongren muttered to himself.

Looking at the eyes of others, Chen Hongren believed that what Long Tingxiao said was true, and at this time, he really regretted his strong position just now, and he didn't know how to defend himself for a while.

"Lord Envoy, the so-called knowing people and knowing faces do not know their hearts, if it weren't for you, Lord Envoys, the slave family and the master would still be confused by the superficial phenomena of Ma Zhi County. Over the years, the master just felt that Ma Zhixian was a person who valued love and righteousness, so he became friends with Ma Zhixian, because in this way, he would often help the Yamen of Mincheng. ”

I have to say that Shi Yuniang may be in a rational situation, and her adaptability to the environment she used to be in is still very strong, and she shirks the responsibility in two or three sentences.

It was she who said that the Yamen made Zhang Mengjie a little unpredictable, listening to Chen Xiaobao's mother say that in the past, this Chen Hongren had no ability to make a living except for his good mouth. Of course, Shi Yuniang can't make money except for seducing people, judging from the situation in front of her, she didn't go back to her old business, and I don't know where they got the money from the yamen.

"Oh. Mincheng is the source of grain and grass in Longcheng, so the imperial court did not collect anything other than the grain and grass from Mincheng, and the imperial court collected grain and grass within the scope of bearing in various places. Master Xing, what's going on? Long Tingxiao asked.

"Lord Hui, you know that Mincheng is a land of grain and grass, so it is mostly fields. The houses built by the people of Mincheng were smaller than those in ordinary cities, and the same was true of the yamen. You also saw that Master Ma has a lot of family members, and the backyard of this yamen can't accommodate so many people, and there is also the Chen Ye family who helps the yamen. That's why Chen Ye bought a house behind the yamen that no one lived in. The yamen was enlarged. Xing Jishan explained.

"That's amazing. Although Chen Ye relieved the Yamen, he was just an ordinary person after all, and the Yamen was also a place where the government handled cases, a solemn and sacred place, how could he act so hastily. Could it be that Ma Zhixian really regarded the yamen as his private property? "Although Xing Jishan said it fairly. But listen carefully. It's not hard to hear that there is some information in his words.

"The reason why the grass people live in the backyard of the Yamen is as the envoy and the master of punishment said that most of the Fujian City is fields, and Mincheng is the source of grain and grass in Longcheng, so the grass people in Mazhi County will only suggest expanding the Yamen instead of rebuilding the Yamen when the Yamen is too small to accommodate his family. Because the rebuilding of the yamen had to be on spacious land, in which case it could only be on the fields, the grass people would buy the uninhabited houses behind the yamen to expand the yamen. Because the house left by the ancestral family of the grass people has long been reduced to a field, they can only stay in the backyard of the yamen with their cheap people and their sons. The envoy and the ministers relaxed, although the grass people and their families stayed in the backyard of the yamen, they only occupied a corner of the backyard, and the grass people dared to guarantee that the grass people and their families would not hinder the affairs in the yamen. Chen Hongren swore and explained a little worriedly.

"Hey, hey, hey" Long Tingxiao couldn't help but sneer: "Since Chen Ye only occupies a corner of the backyard of the Yamen, and he can afford to expand the backyard of the Yamen, it is better to buy a house in the backyard of the Yamen for the expansion of the Yamen, it is better to leave a corner for himself, so that he will not be talked about?" Moreover, Ma Zhi County has a fortune from the imperial court, and the envoy believes that Ma Zhi County has not done a thing for the people, so the savings of so many years should be able to afford to buy a house behind the yamen and pay for the expansion of the backyard of the yamen, right? Why does Chen Ye need to work so hard to do so much for Master Ma? This envoy has heard Master Xing say that Mincheng mainly depends on planting grain for a living, and other economic sources are not much, this envoy sees that Chen Ye's fine skin and tender meat must not be a person who grows crops, I don't know where Chen Ye got so much silver to expand the yamen? ”

Long Tingxiao's question was also what Zhang Mengjie and the others wanted to know, so they all looked at Chen Hongren. Although the source of the silver is not illegal, it is still a little improper, so Chen Hongren hesitated and did not speak.

This topic was brought up by Shi Yuniang, originally she wanted to relieve Chen Hongren but she didn't expect him to fall into embarrassment, and looked at Chen Hongren with some guilt.

Chen Hongren has been married for many years, and he naturally knows Shi Yuniang's thoughts, and now his interest in her has become weaker and weaker, but he also spent a lot of effort to hold the beauty back then, and Shi Yuniang has been devoted to him all these years, so he can't give up on her for a while. Moreover, the scars on her body were all because of him, so she didn't blame Shi Yuniang.

"Your Excellency, this court should not care how the merchants make profits, right? The slave family can guarantee that the silver obtained by Chen Ye is legitimate. I wonder if the envoy still wants to know the source of that letter? ”

Li Yuhu, who almost lost his life before he recovered, saw Chen Hongren and Shi Yuniang secretly transmitting information, and he was a little afraid to do so. Of course, it was impossible for her to give up Chen Hongren before she found the next one to rely on, so she also took the opportunity to change the topic to relieve Chen Hongren.

When Zhang Mengjie heard Li Yuhu call himself a slave, she couldn't help but laugh, she really couldn't wait to break off the relationship with Ma Yuhu. Although this Ma Yuhu's official position can't be saved, this life may not be saved, and besides, his money shouldn't have moved all these years, right? If they hadn't squandered it arbitrarily, they wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing in this life.

"Of course I want to know, isn't this waiting for the fifth aunt to say!" Regarding the source of Chen Hongren's silver, Long Tingxiao only asked casually, and he didn't really want to inquire, and there was nothing related to the murder, of course, it didn't matter if he was serious.

"That letter was written by the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion to Master Ma and his father. It was accidentally discovered and stolen by Ma Zhixian. Finally said what he was going to say, Li Yuhu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he thought of the reward silver, and his heart was even happier when he thought of it, and he couldn't help blurting out: "The envoy's reward?"

Long Tingxiao's strange eyes made Li Yuhu chuckle in her heart, and his next words made her even more mixed. (To be continued.) )
