Chapter 17: I Have a List Here

When the poisoning incident occurred, Tong Qian was angry and immediately went to report to the official, but was pressed by Chu Qianyi, she didn't know much about Yongquan Town at that time, and this place was under the jurisdiction of the capital. As she said, her father is the official leader of the capital...... Jing Zhaoyin also has to listen to her father, there are too few people who are upright these days. She was afraid that if she reported to the official, she would force some people to jump over the wall. However, she paid attention to let Tong Qian'er go out to inquire, and then she learned about the magical existence of Zhang Zhutou.

She weighed it again and again before deciding to invite Zhang Zhutou over.

She first agreed with Zhang Zhutou, if she couldn't find evidence, it would be fine, if she could find evidence, she would also ask Zhang Zhutou to help hide one or two first, and then arrest the person when the time was ripe. That's why I asked Zhang Zhutou just now. The evidence was found at that time, and Zhang Zhutou always claimed that he had found nothing according to the agreement with Chu Qianyi. Zhang Zhutou also sympathized with Chu Qianyi from the bottom of his heart, so he was willing to help her.

The big guy's eyes were almost straight when he saw a big bamboo basket full of silver, this basket everyone knows, it is the largest basket used to buy vegetables in the courtyard. Mama Lei used to put this basket on the cart whenever she went out to buy. In the past few days, this basket has disappeared, and everyone is still looking for it......

I'm afraid this basket can hold four or five hundred taels of silver...... No wonder it needs someone to carry it!

Chu Qian smiled faintly, "Explain, how come there is so much cash hidden in your room?" Do you still use the basket from the other yard to buy vegetables? ”

Mama Lei looked at the silver shining in the sun, her eyes were red, and her heart hurt so much that she couldn't help herself! "How would the slave know?" Mama Lei swallowed and forced herself to say, she even forced herself to take her eyes off the silver, "Second girl, you can't do this, how about finding the silver?" Could it be that the other courtyard has lost its silver? Whoever put it in the slave's house to frame the slave is just like the bag of peacock gall, maybe someone else in this village bought it! The girl can send someone to ask for the prescription again! ”

"Oh? Also! Chu said with a smile, "Who is this silver?" Has anyone come out to admit it? ”

Everyone looked at each other, who could stand up and admit it......

"It seems that no one recognizes the money! It is true that no one in this courtyard has lost any money. This courtyard also belongs to me now, and since I found the ownerless silver on my territory, it is naturally mine? You're all right!? Chu smiled even more, like a flower.

A group of people, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to say that they have an opinion, everyone has not lost the silver, this courtyard really belongs to the second girl now, this silver is unclaimed, isn't it the second girl's?

"Copper coins, since we have got so much silver for nothing, let's put it away first!" Chu said with a smile.

Tong Qian'er suddenly smiled, "Okay! She immediately put the cloth that had covered the basket back and moved it towards her feet.

"Oh, I picked up five hundred taels of silver for nothing, it's so good!" Chu Qianyi said with a deliberate sigh.

Mama Lei forgot to resist, and looked at Chu Qianyi in amazement, can you still do this? …… It's her money! But she can't recognize it...... For a moment, she didn't know whether she should be heartbroken or scared first!

"Zhang Zhutou, go on. Since she doesn't recognize the money, let's give her other evidence. Chu said to Zhang Zhutou with a smile.

"Yes." Zhang Zhutou couldn't help laughing, this second girl from the Chu Prime Minister's Mansion is quite interesting...... He has seen so many pickled things in the back house, and it is the first time he has seen the second girl who took the money of the wicked first on the pole......

"Seven days ago, someone saw you go to the Chunfeng Tea House in the town to drink tea with a man in gray when you were shopping for vegetables in the morning." Zhang Zhutou cleared his throat and said, "Then you sent the food back to the other courtyard and left Yongquan Town with this basket in the car. Don't be in a hurry to refute it, I've found all the witnesses. There are not a few people in this town who know you, and you can't hide your size wherever you go. ”

After Zhang Zhutou finished speaking, someone among the slaves whispered, "I'll just say that the basket is the one that Mama Lei brought out that day and disappeared!" ”

Hearing this, Lei's eyes were angry, "Fart! I just took a basket out, so what's wrong? You just found a medicine bag with peacock gall bladder under the bricks of the pot, and you can say it's mine? Since I want to poison and murder the master's family, where will I leave evidence? I'm not stupid! I don't know which pickled one went to the pharmacy and bought a pack of medicine to frame me! Why didn't the official go to check! "She burned the medicine bag at the time! As for this, finding the medicine bag under the brick must be fake! It must be that Chu Qianyi couldn't find any evidence, so he faked it to frame her! She glared at Chu Qianyi viciously, this hoof still pits her silver!

"Keep your mouth clean! Otherwise, I will sue you for contempt of officials! Zhang Zhutou said angrily, "Early in the morning of the poisoning incident, you took leave with the official family, saying that there was an urgent matter at home and you wanted to go back and take a look." Since there is an urgent matter and the housekeeper has granted you leave, why do you put it off until the afternoon? Instead of leaving early? That's for you to make sure that the dish you poisoned was going to be served to the second girl, and not misused by someone else. Yes, you are not stupid, you don't want to leave evidence. In fact, the medicine bag is not that you deliberately hid it in the loose bricks under the pot table, but you thought that you could burn it by throwing the peacock gall into the pot table, but unfortunately a few bricks in the pot table were loose, so the medicine bag did not fall into the stove, but slipped along the brick crack and fell under the gap of another brick. This leaves the evidence, yes or no? ”

"Slander is slander!" Mama Lei said in a panic. She said that she obviously threw the paper bag into the pot and burned it, how could it be found! That's why she was sure that the medicine bag was bought by Chu to forge evidence! Now that Zhang Zhutou said this, she was really panicked! So even if he screams slander in his mouth, the momentum is not as good as before!

"You said that I slandered you, you had nothing to do to buy the poison of peacock gall, and it happened that you took leave at such a time, and took away the basket that originally belonged to the kitchen, and the basket happened to be found in your room, and it was filled with silver, how do you explain this series of things?" Zhang Zhutou snorted coldly. "There have been traces of being roasted by the fire on this medicine bag, but unfortunately it is separated by fire bricks, and it is only slightly burned to a corner." After saying that, Zhang Zhu quickly took out the paper bag just now, turned a direction, and sure enough, there were traces of being burned by fire on the other side of the paper bag.

Mama Lei was speechless for a moment...... She looked at Zhang Zhutou in a panic, and then looked at Chu Qianyi, who was still smiling.

"Don't you look at me, do you think I deliberately made false evidence? I'm very sick, but I don't have the energy and strength. You took leave with your butler and left for a few days with your money, you wanted to escape! But before you could go far, you heard that the officials had found nothing, and you thought that you had probably passed the level, so you came back with the money. When you came back, it was the night before yesterday, and the reason why you didn't come back as soon as possible was that you wanted to observe and observe again to see if this courtyard was really calm, and you would not be relieved until you were sure that I did not continue to pursue this matter, because only when you came back, you could continue to poison me! If I don't die, you won't be safe with this money, will you? It was your good friend in this courtyard who opened the door for you, and he was the one who reported the news of the other courtyard to you! Together, the two of you hid the money in your room, and because you are the steward of the dining room of this courtyard, you have a separate room and courtyard. You don't want to admit it, but your good friend has already recognized it...... He's waiting for you to reunite with him now! Chu said with a smile.

Lei's face was as dead as ashes...... She said why she hadn't seen Ah Hui's dead head in the past two days...... It turned out that he was arrested by Zhang Zhutou!

Lei suddenly collapsed to the ground like a paralyzed mud.

Zhang Zhutou snorted, "Come on, take this sinner away!" Then he hugged his fist at Chu and said, "I'm afraid I have to take this silver away first as evidence," Zhang Zhutou pointed to the very good basket on the ground that was protected by copper coins.

Chu pouted slightly, "This silver is not hot!" Let's use it as evidence! Remember to return me! ”

"When this matter is confirmed, I promise to return the girl's silver to the girl as soon as possible." Zhang Zhutou couldn't help but laugh and said. "There will never be a girl or two missing!"

"Then thank you Zhang Zhutou, copper money, send Zhang Zhutou." Chu also bowed.

After the gang withdrew with Mama Lei, Chu Qianyi coughed lightly, "I'm sorry, everyone, let you watch a show." ”

Everyone lowered their heads one after another, not daring to raise their eyes to face Chu Qianyi, where are these two girls like the rumors? It's like a smiling tiger, and with a smile on her face, she sent away the most powerful Mama Lei in this courtyard except for the housekeeper!

"As you can see, my father has already given it to me. I know that many of you are old people from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but this kind of thing happened when I just came here to recuperate, and I really didn't dare to continue to use you. Chu Tianyi sat up straight, and said slowly, "These days when I was sick, what are you thinking in your hearts one by one, I don't know, I don't want to raise some white-eyed wolves here, I have a list here, and those whose names will be read will pack up and leave, I will give you two taels of silver as severance pay, as for where you go, I naturally won't ask, those who have a deed of sale go to the capital and go back to Mrs. Xiangye, and those who don't have a deed of sale will go to find another way by themselves." ”

As soon as Chu Tianyi's words came out, many people's faces suddenly turned bad...... Although there are many courtyards in this Yongquan Town, there are many other courtyards for dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, and they don't have to worry about finding things to do, but if they are kicked out of Chu Xiangye's courtyard, it will be a different matter...... If you have the reputation of neglecting your master, who else will dare to use it?
