Chapter 10 Closing the Net
Regarding the whereabouts of this huge amount of money, Su Wanning bought some information from Chunfeng Building.
The book says that the 30,000 silver was transferred to the nearest bank outside the imperial city. There was a woman with a beautiful face who took 20,000 taels of silver the first time she came, and the rest took 100 taels of silver in batches every few months.
Thinking about it again, Li Sulan, the daughter of Li's mother, was promoted last year and went to work in front of the prince.
Su Wanning looked at Mother Li thoughtfully.
Mother Li squinted at her master's face with a weak heart.
Su Wan contemplated: Mother Li swallowed such a large amount of money in one bite, there must be something important. Li Sulan's errand in the palace is a big gap in urgent need of money. After all, the female officials in the palace can also use money to get through relationships.
Thinking of this, Su Wanning smiled at Mother Li.
Of course, Li's mother understood the stakes, and sat down on the ground in shock.
From the opponent's eyes, Su Wanning knew that she had won a small game.
"Eldest princess, the slave is confused. I didn't expect the young lady to investigate so carefully, even the old slave can know about the loan from the people, it seems that the young lady has a lot of opinions about the old slave, and is willing to spend so much effort to find out the fault of the old slave. ”
Su Wanning sighed with emotion, Mother Li, who has been dying and struggling, may not know that the hammer in her hand is not just as simple as a huge amount of money.
Mother Li's trick of splashing dirty water is clever, if outsiders hear it, it will definitely be rumored that she Su Wanning is a ruthless person, and she will investigate the people she is not used to seeing to the end, and take out the old things that the other party is rotting in the dark and dry them repeatedly.
"Hey." Su Wanning sighed.
Mother Li was terrified when she heard this, but she still stared at her with wide eyes.
"I wanted to save some face for the people around my mother, but Mother Li said it all. Wan Ning can't explain the truth clearly, otherwise she will definitely end up with a reputation for being moody, insidious and cunning in the future. ”
She has evidence in her hand to hammer Li's mother to death, and she wanted to teach her a lesson, but the network of interests involved behind Xuesitang is too big, and it is not something that can be accepted by her mother at once.
If she didn't control the degree well and was too sharp, her mother might not think of her daughter.
But now it seems that it is better not to keep the last bit of it.
"Of the ten schoolchildren in Xuesitang, eight of them have biological parents who are still alive, and only two are really orphans! As for why those eight children were able to successfully pass the screening and enter the Zhongbohou Mansion, I have to ask Li's mother, what is the reason? ”
Su Wanning pushed this big secret to Li's mother to explain, looking at her speechless appearance, how happy and happy she wanted to be.
The eldest princess of Qingyun stopped tapping her fingers on the marble surface and came back to her senses from deep thought.
Xuesitang is indeed the place where she poured her heart and soul into it.
How can we tolerate rebellion?
"Really? Eight out of ten parents are still alive? Eldest Princess Qingyun's tone was full of anger that was not often seen in the past.
"Yes, Mother. If you don't believe it, you can go to the Nancheng Yamen to check the household registration documents, their names and surnames are registered in the register, which is clearly to return to their home after learning in the future. Kill two birds with one stone! ”
Mother Li's face was like ashes, and she couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
"And how did you track down all this information?" The eldest princess of Qingyun was already nine points convinced of the authenticity of this matter.
What Su Wanning didn't expect was that her mother was still wary of her own flesh and blood.
She closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, she really shouldn't have challenged her mother's bottom line.
"Naturally, it was Li's mother's doing, which made people unbearable. Someone gave me a breath of relief, this matter is indeed true, please forgive my mother, and no longer ask about the source of the evidence. The most important thing now is to solve the problem instead of blaming the person who raised it. ”
The eldest princess of Qingyun was silent for half a cup of tea, and waved her hand: "That's it." For the sake of Mother Li's mother is the old man of the Hou Mansion, before the evidence of this matter is found out, you will be locked up in the firewood room! ”
"It's easy to do." Su Wanning couldn't believe that her mother, whether she would be able to judge the case impartially in the future, took the initiative to come forward and arrange it.
"Aunt Froststain, you go to Xuesitang, lead the ten schoolchildren to separate rooms for interrogation, see if they have parents in Nancheng, and if so, send them home quickly, so as not to suffer the pain of separation. At the same time, send someone to Nancheng to copy their household registration documents, and if everything is true, directly hand over Li's mother to the government and let them deal with it on their own, and the Zhongbohou Mansion will never interfere again! ”
Su Wanning made up her mind to punish Mother Li, and naturally she didn't dare to stay longer, so as not to anger her mother.
After all, from her helpless and sad eyes, Su Wanning could see that her mother was really heartbroken.
On the way to send Su Wanning out of the water pavilion, Aunt Frost Stain told her an old story.
"Girl, don't let you have a disagreement with the eldest princess, mother and daughter because of this matter. Raising the fatherless and motherless children of Xuesitang to study was the commitment of the eldest princess ten years ago. In order to have peace of mind. ”
"Is it an agreement with the deceased?" Su Wanning further guessed.
Aunt Frost replied: "Yes, the old man has no father or mother since he was a child, and he should have achieved something by relying on his talent, but because of the identity of the eldest princess, that person was punished and lost his qualification to enter the court as an official." For the sake of peace of mind, the eldest princess founded Xuesitang. But who knew that now that this incident had happened again, the eldest princess would inevitably not be sad in her heart. It's just that this has nothing to do with the girl, and there is no need to let the mother and daughter be separated from morality because of this matter. ”
Su Wanning nodded gratefully, and only the people around her mother knew the cause and effect of what happened back then.
The moment she stepped out of the gate of the Hou Mansion, she took a deep breath, the road ahead was still very difficult.
She had a faint feeling in her heart that one day she would go toe-to-toe with her mother because of some kind of stake.
"Miss, Chunfeng Building has arrived." Qingzhu watched the young lady frown all the way, and didn't dare to disturb, until she reached the destination, she whispered.
"Qingzhu, you go to the cloth village on the outskirts of the city first and pick up a few pieces of new fabric. In addition, I will give you a few more ingots of silver, the capital is so big, you can go and buy things all the way, whatever is strange, you can buy anything. No need to save silver taels. ”
Su Wanning just wanted Qingzhu to get into the carriage and pretend to be her shopping for items on the street, so that she could sneak away to see Qin Ruoxuan's jokes.
Chunfeng Lou is very neat.
After Su Wanning changed into men's clothes, the two strong men hired to make trouble in the timber shop had already set off.
She just had to look behind her, and today she changed her appearance, and she changed her face for the second time in her life.
Brother Lin rushed into the Chunfeng timber shop first, slapped the parchment paper with the seal on the countertop, hugged his hands in front of his chest, and opened his mouth arrogantly.
"What do you have to say? When will the timber ordered by my master arrive? ”
The shopkeeper with a smile on his face hurriedly stepped forward and solemnly picked up the parchment, "It turns out that this business, guest officer, is already looking for wood." Now in the south city, the material found this time is very likely to be gloomy wood. ”
"Oh? Looks like I, the buyer, still have to wait for your time? Now the one in my family can't wait, and he must deliver the goods today, otherwise he will go to court and see you at the yamen! ”
The shopkeeper was scared a lot, how could something good come to this point.
It's obviously a good deal for consensual thinking.
"Guest officer, has there been an accident on your side, the time we have made an appointment is ten days later, if you can wait patiently for a few more days, the wood will be delivered to your house smoothly. It's just that now, it's not a good time to get the goods in advance. ”
As he spoke, the shopkeeper gave Xiao Er a look behind him.
The doors were soon closed and no longer welcome.
Brother Lin snorted coldly, "Shopkeeper, this is your hospitality?" Since my master sent me to look for the treasure, he has made complete preparations, and will not follow the stranded ones, of course, there are other plans, or the shopkeeper is too superficial and did not come according to the requirements of the contract. If I don't get out of this wood shop in the two teas, my master will send him in advance, and the old fellow who is waiting outside the door will go straight to the yamen, and the Chunfeng wood shop will be a big bully. ”
The shopkeeper was already in a hurry, he did not expect that this wealthy businessman would take the goods in advance, which was a precedent that had not been seen before, and the wood traded between the two sides was too sensitive, and it was a wood that could only be used in the royal funeral, so it was mostly taken from the deep mountains and old forests, and the feng shui treasure of the royal family's burial.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to steal other people's and sell them.
This kind of virtue is a loss, and it violates the law of the country, Chunfeng Timber Shop has always done a drip, and it is impossible for outsiders to see the flaws.
Of course, because the buyer has some money in his hand and has a superstitious belief in the reincarnation of cause and effect in the afterlife, he wants to ask for a royal wood, so that he can be considered a comforter.
Su Wanning naturally figured out the logic of Qin Ruoxuan's huge profits behind his back, so he secretly set it up.
At this time, the person who went to the yamen to file a complaint must have knocked on the door of the yamen.
At that time, when signing the agreement, Su Wan kept a heart in her eyes, and deliberately pressed her fingerprint at a certain distance from the upper font.
In this way, there is room for her to operate, and there is room for her to increase the inequality clause.
For example, this sentence: If there are no other problems, look at the goods ten days in advance.
Behind is a new row of words: If you can't see the goods, it means that the timber shop has no ability to complete, and you need to pay ten times the silver taels, and apologize in public.
After all, it also takes a certain amount of time to make a coffin.
Su Wan thought that even if he was private, Qin Ruoxuan would lose a lot of money, which would do him all kinds of harm and no benefit to donate money to become an official in the future.
She has only one goal, but anyone who can bring trouble to Qin Ruoxuan is a hero.
The moment the door of Chunfeng's coffin was closed, Su Wanning knew that the situation was wrong.
She received the news in advance that Qin Ruoxuan was not in the shop, only a shopkeeper was guarding, and she was afraid that she was also angry, so she took extraordinary measures to temporarily stabilize the troublesome customers.
Seeing the sun setting in the west, glowing with orange warm light, Su Wanning was a little breathless and wanted to go forward to find out.
At this moment, the door of the shop opened, and it was Qin Ruoxuan who walked out first.
He talked to Second Brother Lin kindly, as if he had known him for many years.
