Chapter 221: The Cycle of Heavenly Principles, Retribution is Unpleasant
A group of angry subordinates rushed to Laifu's side, rolled up their arms and sleeves, and prepared to beat him violently, so as to take revenge, and second, to ask the young master how much money he had embezzled.
Lin Ajiao was originally a very calm person, but when she heard Laifu's words, she was also very angry, feeling that this old thing would not tell the truth when he died, and it was simply hopeless.
She even wanted to rush over at the first time and shoot with those subordinates to teach this forgetful dog slave a good lesson, but when she thought that doing so would destroy her image in front of her family, she finally held back.
Zhou Ming's mood has never changed, because he always has a feeling in his heart that Laifu doesn't seem to be lying, because after all, with his current situation, even if he can keep that ill-gotten wealth in the end, it is unknown whether he can save his life to spend it.
So he stopped those angry subordinates as soon as possible: "Don't be presumptuous, Young Master Ben hasn't spoken here yet, you dare to act without permission, do you have no me in your eyes at all?" ”
Those indignant subordinates were originally ready to do it, after listening to Zhou Ming's words, they were stunned one by one, although they were extremely reluctant, but they also understood that their young master was not as confused as the old master, if they dared to openly make an outrageous move in front of the young master, they would probably not be able to eat and walk around.
Everyone hesitated a little, then immediately put away the beating posture, obediently walked to the side, and a few clever people even hurriedly explained to Zhou Ming that they had no other meaning, but just wanted to help the young master force the truth out from the mouth of Laifu, a dog thief.
Of course, Zhou Zhou Ming will not care about them, after all, his identity and status are very different from them, and it is very embarrassing to entangle with them for a trivial matter.
Rift had completely fallen into a state of walking dead at this moment, because he thought that he was certain to die, so when those subordinates attacked him, he did not have the slightest sense of fear, but felt that it would not be a good thing if he died at their hands, after all, then he would suffer very little.
It was precisely because he had such thoughts in his heart that when he was almost attacked, not only did he not dodge or dodge, but raised his head and showed all his vital parts directly in front of the enemy, for fear that they would not be able to kill him.
Seeing the people around him, he suddenly retreated, and at the same time, Laifu was very disappointed, and at the same time, he looked up at Zhou Mingming, thinking that his young master was really a ruthless person, and at this moment, he wanted a happy death, and he didn't give it.
"Okay, since you said that you can't remember how much money you embezzled, then I'll treat you as the truth, let's not dwell on this issue." Zhou Zhou Ming's tone of voice was very gentle, but the expression on his face still made people shudder, and the timid person stood in front of him, not daring to tell half a lie at all, "You tell me directly, where did you hide those silver tickets?" ”
Laifu knows that he has no way to live now, rather than stubbornly resisting to the end and annoying others, it is better to explain all the details happily, even if he is dead, at least he will not be notorious, and the stolen money, if no one cares about it for a long time, it will definitely be a cheap money village in the end.
Without any ideological struggle, he told Zhou Ming all the secret locations where the silver tickets were hidden.
It turned out that Laifu was in order to hide people's eyes and ears, and he was afraid that the stolen money he had worked so hard to get would be accidentally robbed by others, so from beginning to end, he hid the money in a secret place in the Zhou family.
After everyone heard him tell him about the place where the money was hidden, they all suddenly realized that although that place was very conspicuous, if it were not for Laifu himself to tell the truth, no one would have imagined that there would be a huge amount of money hidden there.
After getting a satisfactory answer, Zhou Zhou Ming nodded with a smile: "You are finally honest." ”
Zhou Zhou Ming stood up and instructed the other subordinates to take good care of the blessing, while he himself planned to find the money himself, after all, the amount of that money may be very large, and sending others to find it is likely to create a second blessing.
Lin Ajiao originally wanted to go with Zhou Ming, but before she acted, Zhou Zhou Ming gave her a look, which meant to let her stay here for herself and preside over the overall situation, so as to prevent those subordinates from disposing of Laifu without their consent during the time they were away.
Lin Ajiao nodded slightly, which was a response to Zhou Ming's order.
After explaining everything, Zhou Zhou Ming came to the backyard and, according to the clues given by Laifu, dug out a wooden box around a begonia flower.
When the wooden box was opened, there was a thick wad of silver tickets, the denominations of which varied, ranging from hundreds of taels to fifty taels of silver.
When Zhou Zhou Ming was counting these silver tickets, he thought to himself that Laifu said that he didn't know the specific amount of the money, and he was not lying, the denominations of these silver bills were so chaotic and hidden in such a secret place, even if he wanted to count the number, he didn't have the courage at all.
After all, although this is a backyard, even at night, there is a good chance that someone will pass by, and it is impossible to figure out the number of these silver tickets in a short period of time without worry.
After some careful counting and calculation, Zhou Zhou Ming finally figured out the total amount of these silver bills, and they all added up, there were more than five thousand taels of silver.
Such a huge amount of money made Zhou Zhou Ming also startled, after all, before he went to the yamen on an errand, the family's financial situation has been very tight, in order to maintain the family's life at least decent, his father has to take out the family heirlooms from time to time to sell a batch, even so, the father has not had too much spare money in his hands.
The family's economic situation is so stretched, and Laifu can still embezzle so much money, it seems that this old thing has two brushes in his hands.
Looking at the white silver ticket in his hand, Zhou Zhou Ming couldn't help but show a bad smile on his face, thinking that Laifu had worked hard to save such an ill-gotten gain, but in a blink of an eye, he cheapened himself, this is really a cycle of heavenly principles, and retribution is not happy.
After this incident passed, even if he heard that he had received a huge amount of money from Laifu, he would definitely be embarrassed to ask for it, so wouldn't this money be his own?
In fact, when he promised to reward each person in the family with a hundred taels of silver just now, Zhou Zhou Ming was a little impulsive, and after agreeing, he regretted it a little, because he had been counting on Yang Shijun's money to pay for these rewards, but seeing that it was dark, Yang Shijun did not move at all, and it seemed that he had the intention to repay the debt.
This made Zhou Zhou Ming feel bottomless, after all, there are too many places to use money at the moment, this time after he successfully cracked the case of the Northern State traitor, once the official position is promoted, it is indispensable to entertain in the officialdom, which is very costly.
And seeing that her mother's birthday is approaching, when she was in her mother's house, every birthday was beautiful, if she married herself for the first year, her birthday was miserable, so how could he be worthy of Lin Gillian?
Even if Lin Ajiao didn't say anything at that time, and was even very understanding, and in turn persuaded him, he would never let Lin Ajiao suffer such grievances.
And if you want to make your birthday prosperous, you need a lot of money.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Ming had a toothache, but now that he got the stolen money, he was finally able to solve his urgent need, because after the reward money was given to the family, the remaining part was enough for himself to deal with it for a period of time, and during this time, he went to Han Pingzhi and asked him to urge Yang Shijun to repay the money as soon as possible.
Thinking about it, in Han Pingzhi's face, Yang Shijun should not dare to repay the debt.
Zhou Ming put the box with the silver tickets on the ground, and then took a large handful of silver tickets and walked to the front yard.
Seeing that Zhou Zhou Ming had been gone for so long and never came back, everyone in the front yard was worried about whether Zhou Ming could find the stolen money.
After all, this kid Laifu is scheming, and seeing that death is imminent, he is likely to make a desperate bet, set a trap, and die with his own young master.
Among these subordinates, there were a few smart people, who had this guess in their hearts when Zhou Zhou Ming left just now, but at that time, when they saw their young master's confident look, they didn't dare to open their mouths to remind him, after all, doing so would undoubtedly question their young master's IQ, and it was likely to cause unnecessary trouble.
However, as soon as Zhou Ming's figure appeared, all the worries in these people's hearts disappeared, because they found that Zhou Zhou Ming was holding a thick stack of silver tickets in his hand.
All the people were happy in their hearts, for they knew very well that with this money, their bounty would soon be in their hands.
Zhou Zhou Ming came to Laifu, squatted down, shook it in front of him with a silver ticket, and said: "Laifu, you can really scrape, my family's family is not as good as before, but you still have the ability to embezzle more than 5,000 taels of silver, and you are ruthless enough." ”
When Zhou Zhou Ming appeared in front of the people with a stack of silver tickets just now, they didn't know how many taels of silver these silver tickets were worth, after all, in terms of their status and status, they might not have seen much money in their lives, so they had no idea about the value of silver tickets at all.
At this time, when they heard Zhou Ming say that those silver tickets were worth more than 5,000 taels of silver, everyone's jaws were about to fall, they really didn't expect that Laifu was so bold and dared to do such a big rebellious thing under the nose of his master.
At the same time, some of the smart people among them were also muttering in their hearts, thinking that goods like Laifu could embezzle so much money, and if they learned from him, maybe they would be able to obtain greater benefits in the Zhou family.
However, these thoughts did not linger in their minds for long, for they immediately sobered up as soon as they saw Laifu's miserable appearance.
